Good Morning Darlings and a Happy New Week!

How was your weekend?

Mine was a little eventful.... On Saturday I attended an event hosted by Ibadan Entrepreneurs Network (IEN) tagged "MINDSET MAKEOVER" it was quite exciting and I got the push to keep running with my vision. If you have opportunities to attend any event paid or free that will aid your growth please do, you can never over learn. Then on Sunday I went to church and got loads of blessings to keep me going.

So that was the little I did over the weekend. Do you mind sharing with me what you did? Would love to hear from you.

***********

Down to the gist for today! 

You see that picture there and the attitude of the little girl towards what's staring her in the face? 

When fear shows up, that's how huge it presents a percieved danger so that you can run and leave all the amazing stuff you should be doing. The irony of the whole thing is that what it presents to you is not real, it's just a trick to scare you off.

The question is, when you know your fears are not real, what then should be your attitude? You should PERSIST to do that which you fear.

Face that fear and confront it just like the little girl in this picture.

Your fears are not real.... The idea is to scare you off and keep you stuck, don't let it. 

What will you be doing this week to move yourself foward? I'll love to hear from you.

Do have yourself a fulfilling week and live fearlessly.

Love you Large 😘

What will your life look like if you weren't afraid?

fearless living

I'm a bit emotional this morning, as I think and ponder on my life and journey so far. 

I got a question from someone on what motivates me when I get pressured, tired or overwhelmed and feel like quitting. As I thought about all the good things that keep me going, the one that sprang up emotions in me was the person I was when I allowed fear control my life and decisions.

I don't want to ever be that person anymore!

I made bad choices, settled, got stuck, battled with identity crisis, had bitterness and anger littered all over my life, struggled with unhealthy competitions, depended on people for joy, tormenting thoughts of who I could have been if I tried, I felt like a prisoner, wasn't even proud of who I called "God" or to boldly talk about Him and live in the fullness of who I am in Christ Jesus.

This was what my life looked like. 

The irony about this whole thing was that everyone thought I was brave and doing just great. But I knew the battle that went on deep inside. I sought validation from people and things, and once they disappoint me, I feel so low. 

Amongst other reasons to press on, this particular person, is someone I'll never wish to be anymore. 

What about you? Who will you be if fear didn't rule your life? What will your life look like? What are you willing to do to change the status or are you comfortable living like a prisoner? Why allow fear to keep setting the pace in your life? 

That people think you're fearless or doing just great isn't enough and you shouldn't bank on that. Be sure "you" are doing great. 

There's a very beautiful life on the other side of fear, but you have to give yourself a chance to be free. 

What's your decision? 

If you need help, I'm here for you.

Fearless living isn't just some trend, it's a lifestyle everyone should embrace to live a fulfilling and purposeful life. I hope you make that Choice today.

Have a great day and live fearlessly!

Love you large

FEELING LEFT OUT?

HAPPY NEW MONTH HAPPY READER? Hope you're one though 😂? But you should be, there's no reason to be sad, alright?

How has this year been for you? I'll confess, it's been pretty challenging, but God has been teaching me alot with all that's happening around me too. This is why, I keep saying that to survive this life, contentment is a great tool that you can't do without.

Let me share a story with you.

I was having a chat with someone and she told me "Amaka, what if my time has passed?" I shouted and said "Whaaaaat? How old are you? She's in her mid 20s, but it just happened that things aren't really working out the way she thought. So I told her not to ever say that again. I shared with her instances of those who made it at 30,40,45, etc.

Some of the things I shared with her is what I want to share with you in this post.

1. Your clock and the world's clock isn't same with God. "To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven"....Ecclesiastes 3:1 KJV

You are a product of purpose and as a product of purpose, your seasons here on earth has been programmed by your creator. What best can you do, if not to be patient and trust God's time for you?

2. If you can't trust God, you can't survive hard times. Jesus didn't promise there won't be hard times, but in these hard times, we're made to understand that they are light afflictions which are working out something great and glorious in our lives.

3. Your time has't passed.
Whatever it is you desire from the Lord. Be it job, spouse, finance, fame, etc. Your time hasn't passed, it only passes when God says so and when you give up and quit trusting.

4. Sometimes you'll really be left out, but this doesn't mean you're left "out" of God's plan. You might be left out in the world's expectations or calendar, but in God's you're still in His plans.

5. Do not compare your journey.
Our journey here on earth is different and peeping someone's journey and comparing it with yours is heartbreak. It's not necessary at all. You just need to keep your eye fixed on God and do His bidding whenever He calls.

6. Godliness with contentment is great gain.
Contentment doesn't mean everything is cool, it's a state of inward sufficiency and absolute trust in God, who alone can turn your life and situation around.

Darling, don't feel discouraged yet or quit on God. I'm having my share of the tussle, but that's part of the story of glory I await. Keep trusting even when nothing makes sense and let the word of God enrich you.

This too shall pass.

Love you large!
Live fearlessly!
