Question yourself

 Welcome to my December blog




Day 23,


The quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of the questions you ask yourself.


Be your number one critique.


Often, before making a decision, I sit down to ask myself some daunting questions.


•What are the pros and cons?

•Do I need or want this?

•Can this further or mar my ambitions?


If, after making a step, things didn't go according to plan. I still sit and ask myself questions.


•What was my fault?

•How could I have avoided this?

•What’s my take-home lesson?

•How do I improve myself next time?

•What could I have done better?


I know the journey of life is often a complex one, but asking and answering my questions gives me clarity.


At the end of every day, I ask myself these questions:


•What have I achieved today?

•What could I have done better today?

•Any regrets for today?

•Learn new things?

•Proud of myself today?


Answers to these questions prepare me for tomorrow.

Here’s what I’m trying to say, learn to ask yourself questions.


Questions foster your growth; make it a habit.

Learn to say sorry

Image
  Welcome to my December blog Day 11, Learn to say sorry. There are many things I wished I had known earlier; one of them is the word “sorry.” Often, when I'm at odds with someone, the least I want to do is say sorry. I always seek a way to justify my actions; I frequently get away with them. It boosts my ego and sometimes prevents me from seeing the fault in me.  Saying sorry does not necessarily mean they're right or you’re wrong. It's sometimes the only needed tool for peace to reign. It's a better way of moving forward. So many relationships have been destroyed because we fail to say sorry or constantly try to be correct.  About a year ago, I had a very close friend who ignored me for days; I was baffled as to why — I thought it was right to reciprocate her gestures since I didn’t know what her reasons were, and she didn’t even care to tell me.  One evening, I called and started the conversation: I’m sorry; I noticed you’ve been ignoring me for days; what have I

Death is beautiful

Welcome to my December blog Day 6, My question is: why are we scared of death when no one is escaping it? One of my followers tweeted a few days ago, saying: I ponder on my death daily. The replies blew me away.  Death is a beautiful thing — but we all get scared of it; why? With the creation of death, the world is in chaos — evil occurrences every second. Have you ever imagined a world without death? I used to cringe at the mention of death; I no longer do, lol (weird). I was traveling for a party a few days ago and saw a lifeless body on the floor. I thought about it for a few minutes and went about my day.  Life is a journey; we will stop at our destination. When you get to your destination, what will be written of you? The year 2019, I sat down one calm evening, wrote my obituary — a short biography of how I lived, and stories to tell about myself. Writing my obituary clarified who I want to be, my purpose, my passion, and what God created me to be. I wrote things I needed to accom

Build systems

  Welcome to my December blog Day 26, A lot has been written about 2023; virtually everyone wants to have a better year. 2023, I want to do this; 2023, I want to achieve that; 2023, I'll get this; 2023, I must be in this position — Great! Aspiring is good; it's good to have visions for next year. Moreover, you need to build a system. Your goals and aspirations are what you need to achieve. Building a system is the how. Here's what I'm trying to say: I was with one of my kid sisters yesterday, and I watched her talk passionately about her business dreams for 2023. After listening, I knew she had a great vision, but the How was missing . Can I further explain using one of my 2023 goals? Goal (what): to read a minimum of 24 books. System (how): A year has 12 months. To read 24 books, I must finish two books in a month — one book in two weeks.  If in two weeks I can't finish a book, I must double it up the following week to meet up the task. Hello,  If your goal is t
