From B-List to A-Game: My Wild Ride to Self-Realization and Resilience. Work Work Work!!!  It’s crazy how much can change in just a year. I took a gamble, and even though it was calculated, it was far from easy. I wasn't quite where I wanted to be, but I was definitely on the path. I had a senior colleague who made things a bit easier, but when she left for the UK, I was on my own to face my challenges. Working in a multinational firm is a different ballgame compared to a more local setup. The expectations, especially on merit, are on another level, and there’s always the oversight from the parent company, often based overseas. The pressure to speed up my growth was intense, but I had no choice but to handle it alone. It was tough, no doubt, but looking back now, it’s been incredibly rewarding. At work, we get rated twice a year. To break it down: a rating of 1 is for those who consistently exceed expectations—basically, the top performers. A 3 means you’re meeting expectations, ...

Why You Shouldn’t Want To Be Like Anyone Else So, we've all heard it: "I want to be like you," or "I wish I could be you when I grow up." Sure, it sounds flattering, and the person on the receiving end might feel good about it, but let’s be real—it’s a tough pill to swallow. When someone consistently does something remarkable, it’s natural for others to admire them. Their actions inspire awe, respect, and maybe even a bit of envy. Motivational speakers love to hype this up, turning these individuals into legends. But, here’s my take: this admiration is a bit like wishing for someone to pray that you face challenges. Sounds crazy, right? Challenges are what shape heroes. But let's not kid ourselves—overcoming challenges isn’t fun. The satisfaction only comes after you’ve conquered them. So when you say you want to be like someone else, what you’re really saying is that you want to live through their struggles. Here’s the kicker: no one can hand you courage, w...

The Divine Origins of Conflict: Humanity’s Struggle Against Itself.  Humanity, by its nature, lacks the inherent intelligence and capability to engage in warfare against its own kind. The roots of human conflict, does not lie within man’s abilities but stem from a profound deviation from divine alignment. The Genesis of Warfare Man was created in the image of God, reflecting the divine qualities in their entirety. As long as humanity remains in harmony with this divine order, peace is maintained. However, when man turned away from this alignment, choosing to follow a different path, conflict emerged. This fundamental shift not only incited nature itself to turn against man but also led to the onset of interpersonal conflicts. The knowledge and intelligence that were once meant to further God’s purpose on earth became tools of destruction, used against oneself and others. The Serpent’s Deception True fulfillment and contentment within oneself negate the desire for conflict. A person...

  Navigating Life's Transitions: From Divine Love and Early Pain to Inner Discontent and Practical Transformation . The Sovereignty of Love: A Divine Pathway to Transcending Earthly Struggles. Walking in love is the ultimate remedy for transcending the struggles we encounter in life. It serves as an invincible shield, safeguarding us from the myriad challenges that come our way. Since God embodies love, to walk in love is to walk under the sovereign protection of the Divine. While every earthly challenge has its origin, embracing love ensures triumph over these adversities, securing a path to victory. The Inception of Pain: Transcending Early Tears and Emotional Resilience . From the moment a newborn inhales its first breath, life begins with an instinctive cry. The act of circumcising male infants is often accompanied by tears, symbolizing an early encounter with pain.  The rationale behind such early interventions lies in the belief that enduring pain before the mind forms l...

"Examining the Nigerian Wage Gap: Causes, Implications, and Potential Solutions" The Nigerian wage gap has become a significant issue, drawing considerable attention due to its starkness. This disparity highlights the varying needs and living conditions of different social classes in Nigeria. For many Nigerians, basic necessities include shelter, food, and clothing—elements essential for a modest standard of living. The stark reality is that while some Nigerians may seek resources in the forests or from generous donors, the disparity underscores the extreme differences in living conditions across the country. Exploring the Wage Gap The vast wage gap in Nigeria is rooted in the country’s class system. The lower class, largely reliant on subsistent farming, struggles to meet basic needs. Historically, when education became more accessible, members of this class had the opportunity to benefit from schooling, which enabled them to earn a minimum wage. However, their economic situ...

  "The Creative Power of Words: How Beliefs Shape Our Reality" Words hold immense power—more than we often realize. Any notion that dismisses the impact of words is fundamentally flawed. Even Jesus said that not a single detail of His words would go unfulfilled, and if that holds true for Him, it certainly applies to all of us. The lives many people lead today have been shaped by the words spoken by their ancestors and forefathers. The Belief Paradox: How Words Shape Our Inner Worlds Every person carries an internal world, and our speech reflects the worlds we inhabit. If you have an internal sense of abundance and prosperity, your words will naturally express that. These inner worlds operate independently of our external circumstances, which is why where you're born doesn't necessarily determine your success or prosperity. It’s our internal worlds that shape our reality. However, many people place their trust in earthly governments to the point that they live by the ...

The Adamic Pitfall: Beyond Face Value in the Pursuit of Life's True Fortunes "Beyond Face Value: Understanding the True Worth of Life's Fortunes" In a world where fortunes come in various forms, it is essential to recognize that what life bestows upon us is not inherently ours. The principle of "use and abuse" becomes crucial here. When the purpose of something is not understood, misuse is almost guaranteed. Life presents its offerings—whether people, material possessions, or even elements of nature—each with the potential to enhance comfort and ease. However, it is the knowledge of how to use these gifts properly that determines whether one can truly benefit from them. Ignorance, on the other hand, often leads to their abuse, wasting potential and bringing harm. The truly fortunate are those who understand how to utilize life's gifts effectively, transcending the superficial allure of face value. Relying solely on the outward appearance of things can be...

 "The Essence of Self-Knowledge: From Goodness to Greatness" In the realm of lasting content creation, a fundamental self-knowledge propels creators. This intrinsic awareness serves as the motivation behind all their endeavors. Knowledge, inherently good and abiding, influences actions profoundly. When individuals recognize their own strengths, such as speed or creativity, their actions consistently reflect these traits. To ascertain one's proficiency, the 10,000 hours rule is a benchmark. Continuous practice under various conditions—whether tough, enthusiastic, or mundane—leads to mastery. For instance, a person who truly knows they are fast will have their every action imbued with that trait. Similarly, the rich, driven by an inner knowledge of their wealth, engage in investments and developments that define their lifestyle. However, there is a distinction between being good at something and being inherently good. Mastery in a craft through extensive practice differs fr...

  "Balancing Energies: The Unspoken Dynamics of Support in Politics and Life" In life and politics, those who support you, even silently, often require something in return, whether tangible or intangible. The energies and dynamics they bring to the table play a significant role in the overall equilibrium. Imagine you are a fast and consistent individual, but your greatest supporter is slow and inconsistent. To maintain balance, you have to adjust your pace—moving faster than usual to counterbalance their slower energies. This dynamic is critical for achieving harmony and maintaining your equilibrium. This concept is evident in politics, where politicians must engage with their support bases, even if it means stepping out of their comfort zones. Politicians often appear in places they wouldn't typically frequent, such as local markets or community events. They may not need to buy corn or other local goods, but their presence is a way to reward their supporters and show sol...

Understanding the Importance of Reading a Football Club's Energy Before Taking the Job. In the world of football management, understanding the energy and dynamics of a club before stepping in is crucial. Imagine accepting a managerial position at a club that, while financially stable, is plagued by unstable management policies. Without awareness of these internal issues, a manager might take on the role believing they can meet the club's obligations and needs. However, the inherent dynamics of the club remain unchanged. This means that despite hard work and dedication, the underlying issues that necessitated a managerial change in the first place persist. As a result, the club's poor performance continues, casting a shadow on the manager's abilities. This scenario risks making a competent manager appear ineffective, as their efforts seem futile against the backdrop of the club's instability. On the other hand, smart coaches read the club's energy and instead of ...

Depth: The Silent Force Behind Excellence Depth of Experience Depth of experience often manifests in objective reality, highlighting even the smallest differences in significant ways. Athletics The 2024 Olympic 100 meters finals showcased the profound development each athlete has achieved. This development, often accumulated over years of training, makes the critical difference in such tightly contested events. Consider an athlete who tirelessly practices finishing with their torso first in the 100 meters. By the time they compete in a major event, this practice has become second nature, with their brain automatically programmed to ensure their torso crosses the line first. In the Paris 2024 100m finals, the torso positioning —defined as the body apart from the head, neck, arms, and legs—determined the winner. This subtle but crucial detail often decides the outcome of races. Historically, a time of 9.92 seconds was sufficient to win the 100 meters in the 1990s, though the timing techn...

The Magic of Your Vibe: How Luck, Gifts, and Talents Shape Your Life. What your vibe and aura says is more important than what your mouth says. The idea of luck seems to me that one’s aura—or the energy and presence they emit—may play a more significant role than mere words or actions.  The concept of luck might be closely tied to one's aura. This subtle energy field, often described as the vibe or aura a person projects, can attract opportunities and blessings beyond what their actions or verbal efforts alone could achieve. Individuals with a positive and promising aura may find themselves favored by circumstances, illustrating a form of "divine favor" that operates outside the realm of straightforward effort. Material Gifts. The role of material gifts in establishing relationships and alliances is well-documented. Historical examples provide insight into this phenomenon. For instance, Potiphar’s wife offered Joseph her body as a gift, which he rejected. This decision, a...
