Keep Betting on Yourself

Hi Reader! Today's piece is a repost from last year. “The greater the risk, the greater the reward”. That was my brother’s conclusion when we discussed Mr Mark building a platform that hadn’t existed before. I saw a video where he admitted to being shocked at the number of early sign-ups he received. But even with those numbers, it took about 3 years for them to become profitable. Sure, he probably had some financial resources and support to pull that off. But that’s not what I’m pulling out of this. I’m most intrigued by the desire to run towards an uncertain project with pure vision and work on it for years without generating substantial income. These days, we want to see evidence of profitability before committing to a path. “What skill will give me the most money?” “How quickly can I become a millionaire?” I understand survival and bills to sort, most of us begin our journey there. But at some point, we need to move beyond daily survival to solving problems around us and creating new expressions of value that weren’t there before. Start from your immediate community. It doesn’t have to be on a global scale to be relevant. If it’s making someone’s life better, you’re doing something right. Most people have a project or dream burning in their hearts, but “how do I know it’ll work?” keeps them stuck. You don’t. You step out and see what happens. That’s what faith means. Your world is waiting for you to manifest the dreams God has laid in your heart. You’re an answered prayer to someone. A solution they didn’t know they needed. Even if you “fail” in your attempt, you’ve learnt something. You can pick up the pieces and keep going. Bet on yourself today! Alright, that'll be all for now, until next Friday.

Hi Reader! “Money isn’t everything!” When some people see or hear a comment like this, they have an argument ready. “But money buys you freedom, earns you respect, gives you this, gives you that,” and I'm like, hold on. I said it isn't everything. I didn't say it's nothing or that it’s not important. I want things/experiences that money can get too. I just don't believe it should be the sole, principal motivation of an adult human. A while ago, there were some comments or debates about "Olodo...
Hi Reader! Better late than never so here goes this week's piece that should've arrive yesterday.🙈 I remember receiving several teachings on "Time Management" in church conferences over the years. It makes more sense now why it was such a recurring topic. Time (at least on earth) is a limited currency and nothing makes this more obvious than navigating adulthood. If there's one thing becoming an adult does, it shows you how precious your 'limited' time is because it never seems to be enough...
Hi Reader! Have you ever felt guilty about something you did or didn’t do? I know I have. It's normal to feel guilty when you violate your own standards or convictions. But when it lingers for weeks, days, and months, I liken it to the emotional equivalent of being stuck in a confined space without fresh air. You feel down, ashamed, embarrassed. You wonder what people might think of you if only they knew. And for those who found you out, you wonder if they secretly judge you. (Well, they...
