Picking my pen again

It's a beautiful day to start again, so is tomorrow but I choose today.

I thought for a while what to name this particular post because it has been a long time since I wrote. It has been a long break from writing, and one thing I must say is, writing is very therapeutically, to say the least.  

Sooo... what have you been up to and what have I been up to?

It has been a roller coaster, moving through life, its seasons, and everything therein. Taking every day as it comes, trying to ignore thoughts and just pushing forward.

A bit about myself since you last saw me.

Monday Inspiration: USE THE HANDRAILS

Hello loverrrsss, It's a beautiful thing and above all a blessing to have seen a Monday again and for that I am grateful. I am grateful that I still have you in my circle reading my posts.

So, today I will be talking about USING THE HANDRAILS.

Now, you might be wondering, what exactly is about the handrail, it is simple, the Handrail is a safety measure to help you avoid a slip/fall when going up or down a step.

They are different situations in life that will require us holding fast to the handrail and taking a walk.
I will be listing a few:

• Nay Sayers: The negative people, the "no" it cannot work people, as much as you might just need people in your life sometimes to talk you out of the wrong situation be discerning to quickly hold on to the handrail and run real fast from those who always say No to everything you do and wish to accomplish. They have NOTHING good to offer, they only want to see you fall. 

• The Complainers: People who complain about every and anything. This is dangerous because in No time you become a complainer too. 

Monday Inspiration: Always Believe in Yourself

Hello dear lovers and readerssssssss, I trust the weekend went well and I am certain the week will turn out lovely as well, but before we dive into the week there is just one advice I will love to give which is ALWAYS BELIEVE IN YOURSELF, not your neighbor, not your friend, not your colleague, not your car but YOURSELF and then this should be done ALWAYS even when it doesn’t look like it, even when obviously the situation keeps telling you, things you haven't done right. Always believe in your self.

In every individual lies their strengths and weaknesses(EVERY) but the minute you can discover your strength and hold on fast to it, you have the best thing in the world.

Do not bother about who does believe and who doesn't believes in you. One question you should learn to ask yourself is: Am I doing the right thing, what’s the right thing? That which gives us peace on our inside, let no one take it away from you.

Soooo glad to be back

It feels super good to be back!! Woohoo!! 

I can’t even say hello to my lovers I once had here anymore because I know I have lost most of you but we will get to have that awesome relationship again. 

A lot has happened over the years but I am grateful it has all happened for good. 

How have you been?  

Please tell me in the comment section below. 

It is going to be an awesome time of inspiration, laughter and everything amazing, I might just be doing a bit of career this time, not like I know it all but I have gotten a hang of it now and I think I can be of help. 

My U-lovers. I missed you all, I don’t know how to go about this journey but right now there is one thing I know, I have got you all and we can go through this journey together, you and I know that this is my true zone, we share and learn from the heart and we keep it true.. 

Thanks to all my friends who have encouraged me to write again, my heart blesses you and I am certain you know how important you will always be, I am super grateful and to those who kept asking why I stopped writing, well....unnecessary excuses but never mind, we are back and you and I know it only gets better. 

Please leave a comment below and tell me what you want me to write. 

Please encourage me! 

Thank you 🙏🏻 

Be Fearless

Tell yourself some truth.

This really is all it takes to live that life that sets your soul on fire.

I should stop here now.

No, I will continue.

I try to remember how growing up was for me and in one sentence all I can say is, it was Lieful, if there was a word like that.

Who told me the lies?

No Other person but MYSELF.

How?

Believing what everyone had to say about me and acting just that way.

You are living a life of lies if actually you are living off a script.

I struggled to find my face and understand what my message truly was because I felt I have been told this and that and so if it is not this and that it is not the way forward.

Be careful how you listen to people's advices concerning your life, including myself because really and truly it is not in anyone's DNA to help you understand your life, they can only guide you to becoming the best of yourself but you have to determines yourself first.

I now have a message, I am glad but to everyone who has reached out to me to ask me how I got my message, I did two things, I asked God for it and I told myself the truth.

Sometimes we ask from God and just feel we have to wait for it to fit in with the crowd before it becomes valid, No! Your message is peculiar to you.

I teach you to master your mindset and overcome your fears, did I always know this Noooo.

But I had to ask the right question to get the right answers.

My candid advice, stop the struggle, tell yourself the truth and live your uniqueness.

It is okay to start confused but do not stay confused.

8 E’s Principle - An Ultimate Guide to finding Purpose by Onyinye Etoniru

Onyinye Etoniru shares her story to purpose discovery with her 8E’s Principle - an ultimate guide to finding purpose.

Growing up, I heard a lot about the importance of finding one’s purpose in life. While I was in the University, I took interest in topics and books on purpose because I knew it was one thing I had to get right in life. I remember reading Rick Warren’s Book, The purpose Driven Life. After reading it, it gave me a good idea about purpose but it was all still fuzzy and unclear to me how to really find my own path. But with time, I realized that my purpose in life is determined by God and the discovery of my purpose is not God’s responsibility but my responsibility. As I submitted myself to a life of attention to God and His workings in my life, that’s when I began to truly find my fit in life. The revelation of the knowledge of God, opened me up to the discovery of my purpose. Purpose is one of the essential things you’ll need to discover amongst all other discoveries. You can’t afford to neglect the law of purpose if you want to achieve personal success because the full expression of who you are is embedded in purpose. There is no true success outside of one’s purpose as your vision in life is derived from your purpose. You’ve got to find what you were born for and why you were born at a time like this. Finding my purpose started with me, truly having an encounter with God. The more I got closer to God and went through His process of building me up and allowing myself to experience the potter’s touch, the more He revealed His purpose for my life. I had a picture of my future and an insight into who I would become but I needed to take out time to pay attention to my life, listen to God, connect the dots and receive clarity with the help of the Holy Spirt. 

 

Remember Joseph, the dream he had about the sun and moon and eleven stars  bowing down to him which represented his parents and his eleven brothers bowing down to him, was not man-imputed but God-imputed. This vision was a picture of the future but the purpose was discovered during the process. He knew he was going to rule someday, but he didn’t have the details of the process. As he took steps each day, purpose became clearer to Him. Joseph’s story explains the course of purpose that you can use as a reference point.

I’ll share with you the 8e principle, I discovered on my journey which you can as well apply in finding your own purpose. It starts with pictures of your future, having a vision derived from your purpose and exploring your interests. It may not be a day discovery, sometimes it may be revealed in parts via the seasons of your life; but three things are essential, being sensitive to the things that’s happening in your life and around you, learning to connect the dots and staying in the path where you find true fulfillment.

 

The 8E’s PRINCIPLE

As you read each principle, meditate thoroughly on each of them and write down detailed answers of your findings.

 

Eye - what do you see about your future and how do you see yourself?

What great picture of the future birthed in the Spirit, have you carried in the depth of your Spirit for as long as you can remember? (Vision)

Ease - what you do so easily with or without little or no prior knowledge and without stress when compared to other people doing the same thing? (Ability)

Ears - what have you heard overtime from people that you’re good at?  What have others pointed out to you, commended you for and celebrated you for? Listen to these trusted voices. (Talent)

Energy - what do you do, that leaves you in an energized mode no matter how long you spend doing it and it’s not exactly tiring? (Interest)

Excitement - what is that thing that keeps you thrilled about waking up in the morning to do it, read about it and talk about it? You have a high state of aliveness, tranquility and satisfaction knowing that you would be doing this for the rest of your life. (Joy)

Experiences - what outstanding experiences have you had in the past that has shaped your life and you feel it has something to do with your destiny? Find out why you passed through those experiences, there may be more to them. (Lessons)

Environment - what problem are you driven to solve in the society? Which set of people are you drawn to serve and on what platform are you inspired to express these solutions? (Pointers)

Enlargement - what have you been involved in prior to now, that has experienced expansion, increase, growth even with little effort?  What are the things you’ve been engaged in that has resulted in mega results and expansive outcome? (Results)

 

Connecting the dots closely via these principles, you’ll be able to discover the most prominent ideas, truths and pointers to help you define your path. Remember, it’s not in your place to choose your purpose, your responsibility lies in discovery. Finding purpose has a large extent to whether you become truly eternally successful or not. It’s not okay to live each day out of sync with your purpose or settle for what comes your way or what others or your parents think you should be doing. You should be destiny conscious enough to invest effort and time in finding your purpose. When you do discover it per time, make sure you don’t leave your purpose but live your purpose with courage.

Communication with Self

One of the ways to eliminate fear is to communicate with self.

What is communication?

A two way dialogue, where one person speaks and the other understands and vice-Versa.

One key factor in communication is to ASK QUESTIONS.

And that is one important part of communicating with self to eliminate fear.

What is it you fear? Is it relationship, is it failure?

Whatever it is, one thing you should learn to do is ask yourself questions.
