Purpose & Bravery

-

I've been thinking about purpose since the beginning of this year and the steps to take in achieving my set goals. Then, it occurred to me that why I'm still at a particular stage in my career is because of fear. 

I'm going through a mentorship programme and I was asked to write down my long term goals and short term goals, by the time I wrote everything, read it and reflected on my long term goals then it occurred to me that it takes strength and bravery to achieve it.

There are a lot of opportunities I've missed to learn new skills because of the fear of not being perfect enough to handle these skills. Sometimes if I eventually do something I'm scared of doing I end up doing it perfectly. I believe if I'm going through something like this, then there is someone out there  having the same experience.

The best way to overcome fear when fulfilling purpose is doing what you are scared of(please meditate on this line). For instance, apart from being a writer I also pick interest in hosting events. Most people see me as very outspoken and confident person especially when it comes to mounting the stage and getting  perfect attention from my audience. The honest truth is that stage fright never goes away 😩, but by the time I get on stage I ensure I own it.

If you are going through this phase, I want you to challenge yourself to do that thing you are scared of. In my last post I talked about being a poet and writing them on poetizer. Before poetizer I simply got a counting jotter , wrote in my notebook and read it out to people who will obviously encourage me. Until, poetizer came to my mind and I put out my first work , I remember my first poem published was 'Beyadh' which means 'limitless'.When I started  getting likes and comments,it gave me confidence as a writer.

I again challenge you to learn that skill you are afraid of learning(legal skills oo👀)


Purpose is worth living for, it takes bravery to achieve it🔥🔥🔥

You vs. You: Constant Competition with Yourself

Have you ever seen a throwback picture of yourself and thought, “Wow, I’ve grown so much”? That’s exactly how self-development should feel. Just as our bodies grow and develop into their full potential, our creative and personal skills should evolve the same way into something that puts us in high demand. It’s important to pause and reflect on how far you’ve come and what steps you’re willing to take to go further. True growth comes from competing with yourself, not others. Many people fail because they see someone else achieving something and immediately try to become the very best, not to excel, but to prove a point. While it’s good to be exceptional, it shouldn’t be driven by envy. The road to success is about building strategies, asking yourself “What can I do differently?”, and taking actionable steps. That’s what makes you exceptional. I’m sure many of you can relate to Ben Carson’s Gifted Hands and Think Big. As a child, reading them, I wanted to  be a neurosurgeon 🥹🤣. Fun...

CLARITY ✨✨✨

Clarity in it's simple form means 'Understanding'. Throughout your life time you believe you know yourself better than anybody else or even better than God. Yes🤣, your oversabi fit reach that level sometimes . Over a decade of my life, I've left God out of most of my decisions because I just feel like it's okay with him and it's what's best for me. I remember last year 2024, when I registered for JAMB, I chose University of Lagos as my first choice of institution. I just felt like it was the best school for a communication student, I bet God just laughed in heaven and decided to redirect my steps, then Obafemi Awolowo university came into the picture. I don't know how OAU came into the picture but it was just God redirecting my steps so I can find purpose and not distraction. Mind you a place of distraction for some people can be a place for purpose for others and vice versa. All I'm saying is that, a time will come when God will bring you to a poin...
