Do the undoable 💪



I'm grateful for the fact that I've moved from the position of "I can't" to "I can try"


I've seen so many people belittle themselves when they are asked to do some things, you'll hear "Me I know myself o, I can't do this thing at all." By the power bestowed on me now🤣 I'm telling you to please let go of that mindset. It ties you down so badly.


I want to see a generation that dares to do, a generation that challenges the undoable. The worst form of failure you can never have is not trying at all.


Fine, some people know their strengths and weakness as to what they are good at or bad at. But just because you're good at something doesn't mean you can upgrade yourself in what you think you are bad at. Guess what? You can turn out the best.


I've read so many motivational books that says if you know what you're good at, just focus on that and leave the rest. Well, I'm not disputing that but my dear, the world has gone beyond staying within a confinement. You see ehn, you need to explore other angles.


There's an interview I read some times past about a medical student in OAU that's also a cobbler. She had learnt that during one of their long term strike. Imagine how it is like to switch between science and art. Why do you think she hadn't gone to learn patent medicine or probably stayed at a laboratory throughout?


She must had first thought to herself that "am I okay?" or "am I sure I would be able to do it" or even spoken to a friend who might have dissuaded her like "alaye, shey you know what you're doing bayi" but she still tried to learn. If she had failed at it or probably realised it's something she can't do, we wouldn't have been hearing about her now. She chose to challenge herself.


Look here, I'm not saying you should be a jack of all trades. Noooo. But don't be so comfortable in what you think you can do. There are abilities in you that may never be explored till you die so why not exercise some now.


I had never thought I would be in tech as a lifestyle blogger/ content creator. I just wanted to try it out and quit if it's not working but I realised I'm so comfortable telling people about myself and several other things.


Unless you try out something, you may never know how good you are at that. 


Some of us see fliers of competitions online and immediately tell ourselves that "this definitely isn't for me" Why not just give it a trial first? At least, if you were not selected, you would have known you tried to still participate and look out for more opportunities. Who knows if you would blow people's mind in the next one and be the winner?


True true, I would say you're the enemy of you if you don't try new things out. Don't be so complacent within yourself as to your strengths, some may be hidden. Unless you play ball, you may never know if you're an excellent player. You can't just be sitting and be telling people "I'm a bad player o" They will ask you how do you know?


Most successful people nowadays never knew they could do what they are doing now. All they did was change their mindset from "I can't" to "Lemme even try it out first" and see them now in billions. Yeah, it's that simple!


The world needs people who can be flexible to learn, relearn and unlearn. At the long run, when they ask you "can you do this?" Be honest to say "I can try it out now and in few days time, I should be able to do well in it"


That's just the spirit! Just dare to challenge YOU.


Virtual hugs FAM 🤗🤗🤗

Can I live your life for you??

What happens when a lot of people are pointing out the right way you ought to live for you? The moment someone says "it's done this way" and another tell you "that way would be better" All you put yourself to is simply FRUSTRATION. Generally speaking, we love acceptance as human beings. We want to do things that would make people proudly have our backs and say yes, that's my friend or that's my child. The moment we crave for people's acceptance, we tend to be vulnerable by giving ears to what people around us say so that when they tell us they don't like what we've done, we just at times gullibly adjust that thing even when we knew we had done nothing wrong. This act is referred to as PEOPLE- PLEASING.  It happens when we are so conscious of what people might say about us so as not to break ties with friends or loved ones.  When people around us notice this vulnerability, they would be delighted in tossing us to and fro like they do to coins ...

New Year Resolution 📝

This resolution of a thing sef, it's always somehow. Many of us pledge to do some things or even vow to stop some things at the beginning of a year but eventually we get incapacitated. How numerous resolution get discarded by February baffles me alot sha. Another worst thing about this is that some people even forget they made a resolution as regards a particular thing. They remember at the close of the year and promise themselves they would turn it over to the incoming year and the cycle goes on and on. Why do we find it hard to stick by our resolutions? According to Oxford Advanced Learner's Dictionary, resolution may mean : A strong will, determination. A statement of intent, a vow. Some people, after so many failed resolutions have given up, they want to go with the flow of ''anything goes.'' The idea isn't that bad, it is however good when we map out how we want the new year to be. Whether to inculcate new things or thrash stuff that ain't ideal. Do...

Women👩👧

 Most times we often depict the female gender as vulnerable. They are exposed to danger and all form of ill treatment in the society. I could remember a speech I delivered to my fellow coursemstes some years back in an English Presentation class. It was titled ''You're invaluable as a woman'' and it was targeted at appreciating the female gender. Coming from a family of six where my dad was the only male, I was so interested in the topic which made me treat it personally. Well, I believe by now we should have debunked the ancient myths of ''female children do not need formal education'' or ''a girl child will end up being in the kitchen'' and so on. Even though President Buhari once made a statement that undermined the female gender particularly about the First lady belonging to the other room. He retracted his words later but we all know the school of thought to which he belong. Women go through a lot, let's be factual about it. ...
