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 make more money? Did we get a promotion or gain a new important certification? While those are important and worth being grateful for, I want to draw your attention to a few things that I’d argue are of even higher value because they make the former possible and more enjoyable. 😁Life and health: The only reason you can dream of a better life is because you’re still alive. And if you’ve recovered from any ailment, hurt, pain, or gotten even slightly better, it’s worth being grateful for. 🧡Love and support: From spouses and family to friends and communities, if you have people who genuinely love and support you, you’re winning in life. 🌻Growth: Are you more skillful and knowledgeable? Did you realize some lies holding you back and replace them with truths? You’re becoming a person of more value. Finally, I know this may have been a tough year for you in different ways. Your experiences are real and valid. But one thing I’ve learnt this year is that everyone has something good, no matter how little or seemingly insignificant. So I want you to pull your mind to one or two things you’re grateful to have. You can even write a gratitude list to see how many things you can think of, I dare you!😅 Alright, that'll be all for now, until next time. Light & Increase, Osose Christabel.

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...
