Sometimes progress doesn’t feel like progress.
It’s slow. It’s uncertain. You’re not sure if you’re moving because there hasn’t been that big loud win.
But when I look back, I realize…
That slow pace is building my endurance.
Those undesired jobs are teaching me perseverance.
These detours are collecting experiences that power my ideas and the person I’m growing into daily.
Every challenge becomes a lesson.
Every task becomes a skill.
Every step, no matter how small is still forward.
I might not have known that I could dive into what I’m tackling today.
But my past and current life experiences has cultivated grind, the setbacks and surprises has prepared and is still quietly preparing me for all that lies ahead.
I may not notice it while in it, but I’m being shaped.
Even when it feels slow, I’ve to keep going 😊
Because daily I realize I’ve been growing stronger all along.
My perspective is expanding
My mind is learning to adapt
My creativity is being fueled by experiences I didn’t even want at the time.
This is the quiet magic of slow progress.
I’m beginning ready 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Dear all,
Isn’t it weird how you can experience situations throughout your life that are so heartbreaking or stressful that you can’t imagine ever being okay again? 🙁
Then, a few weeks, months, or even years later, you notice that the days go by without you thinking about those times. 😌
You laugh, you smile, you go about your day, and realise that you’re stronger and happier than you ever thought you could be again. ☺️☺️
Those bad times might always be in your mind, but you feel at peace with your past; and the memories that come back don’t punch you in the heart like they used to. 🙂↕️
You realise that you are, in fact, as strong as everyone was saying you were at the time, and that you would in fact get through what you went through.💪
Isn’t it amazing how much we can change, how much we can learn, and how much we can grow. 😌
I have been pondering repeatedly on these words lately, taking a retrospective view of my life.
All I can say is „I have never been better“ 😊
Everything in life happens for a reason.
Maybe to break us down so we can rise stronger, wiser, more knowledgeable, have more wisdom, find a better path, become better people, find ourselves, and lots more.
The people who don’t make it to the bright side are those who allow circumstances to affect them negatively for too long.
Emphasis on „for too long“ because we are humans and it is normal to feel down, but staying down for too long is where the ruin sets in.
The decisions we take at critical times of our lives shape or destroy us.

A simple scenario I will use in buttressing my point would be two parties facing some sort of challenges.
Party A is focused on drawing out lessons from the challenges and finding positive solutions, praying, and working on overcoming.
Party B is drawing in misery, blame, confusion, and even going into drugs and alcohol use as a way of temporary escape. Who ends up a winner at the end??? This is a food for thought… 💭🤔
I told my boss at work yesterday that pressure from work, life, and other endeavors can never go away, but how we manage them for ourselves or help others manage theirs determines if these pressures become easier or harder.
Rising up from many occurrences that wanted to swallow me whole, I am sharing a positive energy of staying firm 💪 You didn’t come this far to lose 😊
Focus on your efforts and let the positive voice be the LOUDEST within you 🫶🌸
BE INTENTIONAL ABOUT THESE:
It is important to focus on the kind of attitude that you choose to display.
A few tips to feed your mind with today:
- Think before you act.
- Experience is the best teacher, but it must certainly not be your own experiences alone; learn from others.
- Separate yourself from the group of people who are not involved in positive things and still have a social life. Social life must not be negative.
- Be humble. Being humble allows you to be open to learning, but note that timidity is not the same as humility.
- Understand the difference between patience and wasting your time.
- Always remember that words cannot be erased, as you grow, learn to speak responsibly. Watch your words; you don’t just speak arrogantly. Respect yourself!
- Be intentional about self-development and cognitive growth. Try to learn and possess value. Don’t entertain being a nuisance or a mediocre for so long.
- Self-education is powerful. Speak to yourself, and start something worthwhile. The internet is filled with a lot of resources to help you excel through self-education. Constantly seek improvement.
- Challenge yourself positively, be innovative, creative, and responsible.
- Establish a set of values for yourself, have a plan, and be intentional about the things you do. Grow up! Think of now, think of the future, think of posterity. Many people use their time to achieve tremendous goals; don’t sit and call it luck. Stop wasting your time!
MOTIVATION
Motivation, the compelling desire to take action. A reminder of our passion and why we need to take that bold step or continue in the journey we have started. Motivation to “move“. Our motivation is controlled by our beliefs; what we do not believe to be right or true, we cannot be motivated to do.
Motivation works with decision. When we decide to be different, intentional, persistent, consistent, and driven, we are motivated to keep trying no matter the challenges, constraints, and trials we face in any journey we embark on.
Motivation is drawn from everywhere and anywhere. Our mentors and coaches, motivational videos, written or spoken words, family, friends, people around us, etc. It is highly recommended in the journey of life to surround ourselves with people of value who can encourage, advise, and keep us going, and also immerse ourselves in positive and right content.
We are what we repeatedly do, hear, and see. Never forget that when you surround yourself with the right people, you are surrounded by motivation, which creates chances for a better life and draws you closer to achieving your goals.
DETERMINATION
The willingness to give it all you‘ve got. Determination is the act of being consistent, no matter what happens. The zeal to continue regardless of the difficulties, the ability to be brave and resilient. Determination is required for the accomplishment of goals.
A determined mind is a mind ready for success. Even when we stumble and fall, determination helps us stand back on our feet to continue the journey. A determined mind is a mind that never gives up. We need to be determined!
