Hello guys,
How have you been? I've not been faithful to the blog, I know *covers face* there's so much going on with me (all good though).
Goodnews is that I launched my first book titled "27" SINGLE, SAVED AND SATISFIED on 27th April, 2017. Its currently on okadabooks and you can purchase yours here. Better still, you can send a message via any of my platforms and we can arrange on how you can get your copy.
It's a good read for every single lady or guy. So, do well to get yours and do share with me your experience with the book when you eventually read.

To today's post!
My blog was first created in 2014. I remember it was between midnight/early hours of the morning and my morale was really high as I played around the internet with the little skill I have designing the platform where I could finally share my thoughts and connect with the world.
With excitement and enthusiasm, I slept after I was done, with the intention to start writing later that day. But as morning approached and I woke up from sleep, several thoughts began to ruminate my brain. Thoughts like, how am I going to tell my friends I now have a blog? Won't they laugh at me? What was I going to write that hasn't been written? Who was going to read? Etc. As I pondered on these thoughts, gradually my morale went flat and I just forgot about the whole thing till 2 Years later.
In 2016, I told myself "enough is enough" and I finally took the courage to start writing on my blog. Telling my friends about it was the most difficult part. I just managed to share the post on facebook where I may not be judged much because most people don't know me personally there and later on, with fear and my chest beating really hard I managed to tell my friends about it and shared the link with them.
Surprisingly, I got massive support from them and really, I wasn't expecting that they wouldn't, but my fear was "what if they laughed at the whole idea" or didn't find it fascinating as I did?😔 .... Well I did it anyway and it felt cool.

First, When you have a nudge to do something, do it immediately. If you wait for the next few minutes or days, you may end up not doing it, because at this time, vicious voices in your head may begin to tell you all the reasons why you can't or shouldn't do that stuff.
Secondly, telling your friends or family about your dreams or goals can be really hard, especially when you all are used to to doing things a certain way. It's hard because you may expect all the support from them and there's this fear lurking around in your head that they may laugh at you (sincerely, if they do, it hurts the most). Some friends and family may not or won't support you at first especially when they don't understand your idea and find it silly.
What do you do?
1. Always remember everyone may not support you, so before you share your ideas with them have a mind ready to accept their encouragement or discouragement. Either way, their attitude shouldn't be your determining factor.
2. Keep working on that idea even if you have to do it alone without initial support. Once they see your zeal and commitment they'll come around to appreciate what you do. So, never give up.
3. If you can't handle negative energy yet, don't bother sharing your idea with them. Take a step First and then you can inform them about it.
4. Never second guess yourself because of what people think. Step out in faith and do that which has been laid in your heart
I hope these few tips help you handle sharing your big idea with your friends and family.
Have you shared ideas with Friends or family? How did they take it? Share with me...
Have a wonderful day and stay fearless!
Love you large 😘
