It’s another amazing week on the Life Lessons podcast and I am truly glad to be sharing with you. Today we will be figuring out what to do WHEN LIFE just DOESN’T seem to MEASURE UP! Not measuring up simply means not meeting up to certain standards. Whether standards set up by oneself, or by other people’s standards. SIGNS OF UNHEALTHY MEASUREMENTS You don’t feel qualified enough You tend to shy away from people’s compliments You downplay your accomplishments You struggle with putting yourse...

So there's this conversation I have been hearing a lot lately. It is mostly heard when; The year is gradually drawing to an end, people are celebrating milestone birthdays like (30, 40 or 50) or at old students re-unions It usually goes something like this: “Another year is drawing to an end and I feel like I didn’t achieve much, I feel so unaccomplished or I feel so behind amongst my peers” etc. The truth is, at some point or the other in the course of our lives, most of us have felt this way...

This week I want to share with you a testimonial that encouraged me to keep going on the lane of walking in purpose. I hope it does the same for and perhaps even more. A few weeks back I was on a video call with a special big sister friend of mine. It was late at night but she still sounded excited and full of life, like her day was just starting. She was “Bright-eyed and Bushy-tailed” Her adrenaline was pumping high, she just couldn’t shut down for the night, even though it was late. She said ...

Some of us are very busy building ourselves, which is totally brilliant. Kudos and well done. Whilst we build and grow ourselves, our dreams and visions, we must ensure that we make room to stretch down and help pull others up. I know that some of us are totally uncomfortable when it comes to asking for help or helping others. Even in scenarios where people who have gone ahead of us stretch out and offer to lend a helping hand, we decline because we would rather go it alone. I totally agree tha...

Building or creating a dream or an initiative involves and takes a whole lot of commitment and placing of building blocks one after the other. Sometimes the journey is exciting and your adrenaline just pumps you on. At other times, it can be overwhelming and feel like you can’t push one more day. Wherever you are on the building journey, just know that the general principles are the same with all others who are building too. The ups and downs of building are the same across board so do not fee...

It’s good to have you on board the life lessons cruise. Today we are sailing towards the land of Identity. We want to take a closer look at what it really means to ‘Identify Your Lane’ Your lane is your vision, your life’s purpose or your passion. It is what you were created to do or be. Like I always say, there is a giant in everyone of us and we were all created to impact our world with our talents and passion. If you are not running in your lane, then chances are that you may not be impactin...

Just so you do not get distracted with wondering what I know about sports . . . Know now that back in school (both primary and secondary) I was an athlete. I raced, played both football and handball and did the jumps too. Yes! I also represented my school a couple of times. Meanwhile I remember just how much we believed in glucose . . . Especially for skinny, frail me who would run and faint after long distance races and they would give me glucose to revive me. Hehehe! Those good old days of gl...

The MIND in itself refers to the part of a person that enables them to think, feel emotions and be aware of things. When last were you intentionally aware of your mind? Most times we just coast along with it and let it drive us in whatever direction it leads. When the mind is mostly left unattended, it randomly veers in the direction of the most predominant memories or thoughts from our life’s experiences. Those memories (especially painful or sad) are referred to as predominant because they c...

Some people have said to me that planning is restrictive and makes them feel caged. I know for some of us Benjamin Franklin’s quote that says, 'If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail' is just really a quote or mantra and nothing more but for me, it rings true.I have experienced both sides of it and can say from experience that whenever I fail to plan, I end up with a result that is below excellent. At other times I am just lucky to get it right. This means that 99.9% of the time things do...
