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 Reader! One of the things that's consistent about the most successful humans to have ever walked the planet isn't skill, family connections (some might disagree), talent, or even courage to try new things. It's a strong sense of resilience that demands results. What marks resilience is the ability to get back up again. After a failure, distraction, disappointment, hurt, or just a loooong day that feels like it will never end. That’s something you need to become the next or better version...
Hi Reader! Last week, I talked about setting priorities and being specific about what’s most important to you. Today, let’s talk about enjoying the process as we optimize for great outcomes. You see, Reader, it gets really hard to stick to something when you're yet to see results, especially when it’s time and energy consuming. When your expected outcome doesn’t seem to be coming as fast as you’d like, you wonder when or if they’ll ever come. These moments are where people begin to pivot....
Happy New Year!🥳🎉 I pray 2026 opens you up to significant changes and growth in every area of your life. Have a sweet year!🥂 Let's talk about priorities. It's a new year, and most people have set goals for the year. However, our attention is limited, so there's only so much we can do simultaneously. Because the more you do, the less productive you are. If you split your attention too thin across various activities at the same time, you limit your growth and progress in each of them. That's...
