Hi there! 2025 is gradually coming to a close, and itâs Thanksgiving season. Happy Thanksgiving!đ 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 Iâd argue are of even higher value because they make the former possible and more enjoyable. â đLife and health: The only reason you can dream of a better life is because youâre still alive. And if youâve recovered from any ailment, hurt, pain, or gotten even slightly better, itâs worth being grateful for. đ§ĄLove and support: From spouses and family to friends and communities, if you have people who genuinely love and support you, youâre winning in life. đťGrowth: Are you more skillful and knowledgeable? Did you realize some lies holding you back and replace them with truths? Youâre 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 Iâve 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 youâre grateful to have. You can even write a gratitude list to see how many things you can think of, I dare you!đ Alright, that'll be all for now, until next time. â Light & Increase, Osose Christabel.

As the week winds down, Friday Cogitations invites you to reflect on the past, embrace the present, and shape your future through the lens of faith, hope, and your unique journey.
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...
Hi there, Letâs talk about how easy it is to talk. I know this from experience. You find something interesting and exciting, you canât stop talking about it. You talk about the book you're going to read, a course you're going to take, a new skill youâre 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 havenât 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: âYou can be a great man of God working wonders everywhere and have children who hate you.â Obviously,...
