Hi there, When we think of “dreamers”, our mind often darts to the most popular technological innovators, the artists, athletes, and superstars who make hundreds of millions, the global names. Well, you’re not wrong. Still, I’m hoping you included yourself. No, not because you encounter some strange simulation of reality when you sleep. But because you have the power to envision a future and work towards living it out. You dare to desire a better life for yourself, and to live in a future that doesn’t exist yet. Oh! But, in your mind, it does. You’re staring right at it when you sit still. It’s your motivation when you work every day. Interestingly, when you reach a height that once only existed in your mind, you move your destination further away. Because there’s just so much you can be, so why settle? Life doesn’t make it for you though, yet you persist. You heal, you get back up, and keep moving. Because you think, “What kind of life would I live if I just stayed stuck when life deals me a blow?” It would be meaningless, tasteless, and cowardly. Surely, there’s something you can become, a value you can create that wasn’t there before, something your family and community will ascribe to your name. These are the kind of things you dream of. You have no idea exactly how far you will go, that’s for God to decide. But, you’d rather err on the side of faith and possibilities. You’re not afraid to attempt what burns in your heart. You’re never a hundred percent certain, but one thing’s for sure, you will give a hard try. You change your life one step at a time because that’s what dreamers do. You’re uneasy with the status quo and consistently poke at your experiential boundaries, shifting it as much as you can. To you who dares to dream, I see you, I know you. May the best pictures you envision become a reality. Alright, until next time, Light + Increase, Osose Christabel. Question for you: What’s one dream you’ve abandoned that you’re convinced you need to get back to sooner or later?

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, 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, 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...
