Cultivate Yourself🌻

Hi there, You know how they say comparison is the thief of joy? Well, don't we know it? When we look around us, we see many amazing people. Good-looking, hardworking, successful, even people you've known for years, and they suddenly seem to be on a different level than you. Feelings of inferiority may begin to seep in. You're not alone. It's a feeling most people experience at some point because we're human. That means we often crave the good things that others have. However, it's not something to tolerate. Because not only does it rub us off our joy and contentment, it downplays our uniqueness. God has placed something distinct in each one of us that we need to cultivate. Be content with exploring that. We won't all look, sound, or achieve the same things, and we don't need to. Ideally, we should all pursue the dreams God places in our hearts rather than playing catch-up with someone else's version of success. Life is never fulfilling that way. Cultivating your unique potential doesn't negate the place of learning. According to Jim Rohn, “Be a student, not a follower.” He further explained that you can learn from people, but make sure to come to your own conclusions before making decisions, especially life-altering decisions. You need your convictions and your own spin on things. These details matter. You're not small or inferior. You're simply on a different path, and that's okay. Just make sure you're exploring your path intentionally and wholeheartedly. Life's more enjoyable that way. Alright, that'll be all for now, until next time. Osose Christabel. Something to think about: Are you exploring your unique gifting and expressions wholeheartedly?

Hi there! 2025 is gradually coming to a close, and it’s Thanksgiving season. Happy Thanksgiving!💃 In Nigeria, we usually celebrate Thanksgiving at church, an annual event where we thank God for the entire year. Every church chooses a specific Sunday, but it often falls in November or the first 2 weeks of December. In the spirit of giving thanks, I want to highlight a potential obstacle. When we reflect on our year, we tend to think of achievements in terms of monetary or status value. Did we...
Hi there, Let’s talk about how easy it is to talk. I know this from experience. You find something interesting and exciting, you can’t stop talking about it. You talk about the book you're going to read, a course you're going to take, a new skill you’re going to learn, a strategy you wish to implement. You even post about it on socials. But days turn into weeks, and weeks into months. You find something new and inspiring to talk about. However, you either haven’t acted on your previous plans...
Hi there, Today, I want to talk about something striking that we often ignore. It's possible to be great at something and horrible at another, experiencing freedom in one area and limitation in another. I know what you're thinking, of course, no one can be great at everything! But here's what I mean: Last week, I was listening to a preacher, and he said something that stood out to me: “You can be a great man of God working wonders everywhere and have children who hate you.” Obviously,...
