WHEN YOU’RE NOT AT YOUR BEST



It’s normal when we sometimes not feel at our best but it becomes scary when we make the feeling the end point.

In this context, that you are not at your best means that you feel down about yourself but in the real sense you want more. How to achieve the ‘more’ is where the challenge comes.
Life has a lot of challenges. Constantly thinking of what is wrong will not solve the problem. Instead, accept the challenge and understand where you are.

When you’re not at your best is actually the right time to evaluate yourself and tackle the reason the feelings are coming. Our relationships, happenings, bills, works, opinions from people and more are capable of putting us down when going wrong. Just Calm down and take a break from stressful thoughts. Try not to continue in the thoughts that shouldn’t be allowed in your mind.
‘’You have power over your mind, not outside events, realize this and you will find strength’’ Marcus Aurelius said.

See yourself as someone under the process to the best, cherish the phase and learn from it. It’s very difficult when we have to learn from something that hurts us but more difficult to live in regrets.

Our challenges from any angle are not meant to be the distraction from other things, other things are meant to distract us from the challenges. Challenges are only meant to help us learn.

I don’t know what might be wrong with you now that’s making you have self-doubt. May be something got wrong somewhere, you made a mistake or something happened and since then you’ve not being able to be at your best, tell it to God.

I want to tell you that when you are not at your best is when your best needs you. People need to see you at your best to bring out the best in them.

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...
