BECOMING A BETTER YOU




I am not the better person I want to be now, but I want to be better. The first thing I had to do was to admit to myself who I am and then I asked myself if who I am now is who I want to be. In becoming a better you, you have to admit to yourself who you are and ask yourself if who you are now is who you want to be.

I am a very lazy person. I tell my siblings that God knows why he made me the last born. At the same time, I have things I want to achieve. I knew this (laziness) was one of the things I had to admit to myself and so I decided to write down things I needed to work on and one of these things was laziness. Formerly, I could use the whole Saturday to do my house chores but now, it’s still morning and I’m done with my chores. This gives me time to do the next thing I can do.

Read! I feel guilty to write read and that is why it looks like I just blurted the word and ran. I found out that I sometimes find it very difficult to take a book to read and so I started doing something; downloading files to read on things I wanted to know more about and I still do it. It has stirred up a little interest of reading in me. I asked a girl while I was in secondary school about what she’s good at and she replied reading. I didn’t doubt her because it reflected in her. Regardless of what we want to become, someone has written something about and it needs to be read.

This next thing might sound weird but I just feel it is necessary. Please reduce the secrets you keep. Some secrets have a way of disturbing our flow. Tell an elderly person that you can trust about what is bothering you. I said elderly because sometimes our friends might be facing something related to our issues, they might need help too just like us. Therefore, going to them might not earn you your solution.

Always be happy and wish everyone one well. In wishing everyone well, you have to make it a deliberate effort to shun the thoughts that make you think badly about people. You will most likely see the better side of people that way and it helps you also become better.

Please say this ; I am wonderfully made by God, I’m beautiful or handsome, I’m blessed, I’m smart, I’m courageous, I’m unique, I’m brave, I know who I am, I carry a distinct feature, I’m not shy of my dreams, I am favoured, I will fulfil my purpose and I believe in myself. If you do not see yourself as these words and even more, no one will. In becoming a better you, you have to constantly praise yourself.

FORGIVEN

                                                            Photo credit: faithis.com On that day she said “I believe” love began to live in her. A love that had the security she once longed for from humans. She couldn’t explain it – His love spurred up a passion for love unto others too. Though some circumstances of life made it seem like being loving was not the correct dispensation but on those times, she would recall who she was and who she had become; her transformation spelt out GRACE. Plain and simple – Grace in Jesus. It allowed her give people time to mature. There were days she would cry, laugh, smile or just stay silent, wondering what manner of love he continually bestowed upon her. It was real. Though invisible yet real. “Hey! Where have you been?” The chat stated.   She woke up to it.   “How far?” she ...

CONFIDENCE

I wrote a list of things I needed to improve on. I had a conviction that I could do all except one called confidence. Confidence is the feeling of certainty but I grew up with the reverse feeling. It became evident to me in Junior Secondary School when my friends would ask me if I read for an exam and my reply would always be ''I don't know''. I replied them that way not because I wanted to shock them with a 55 over 60 as my result but because I always had doubts in my reading. I'm a youth now and this is the stage where I am supposed to grab opportunities, set goals and work towards achievement but the foundation to my achievements is what I lack. The truth is that I am not in this alone and the reason why most of us are facing this dilemma is because we expect perfection in everything we do to the extent that we run from building a positive mind set. I have started working on myself, you can too. I’m experiencing the changes bit by bit. For this...

HELP!!! I THINK I WILL FAIL IN SCHOOL!

While In school, I believed one lie – that I wasn’t good enough to be a bright student. To crown it all, while my new friend and I were conversing on our first day at school, our conversation was cut short by a statement made from a 200 level student “Ah! you are a mass comm student, mass comm is not simple o! Your lectures are wicked and you people don’t use to have first class”. I really didn’t know what a first class was at that time, but I knew it had something to do with a student being at the top. Fear gripped me, then my fears inspired a prayer – “God, let me just pass and go”. God showed me I could be more than the prayer. I hate failing and I’m certain everyone does. Some people have just given up on themselves or have allowed their environment/people define them. Regardless of which position you find yourself, I will like to tell you to take off all preconceived notions (those thoughts in your mind that makes you feel like you are not good enough) as we journey on 7...
