Good morning and a great week to you. How was your weekend? I had quite an eventful one. I attended the "LIVE YOUR DREAMS AFRICA" conference in Lagos State and it was quite insightful. 

On Sunday, I honoured an interview invitation I had with The Ambassadors Radio Show, where I talked about my new book. I really appreciate God for the privilege that comes with walking in your purpose. Once you step out in faith, God goes ahead of you to prepare platforms for you and have things ready for you.

About today's post! 

One of my greatest fears was staying consistent if I ever got the courage to live my purpose. I struggled with this fear and it hindered me from taking steps because I have a little challenge with going through when I start on some projects. Eventually, I got the courage to launch out and not be that selfish girl who doesn't want to use what God has given her to serve the people He has designed for her to reach. 

While on my journey, God made me realize it wasn't about me. It was first and most importantly about Him, and then the people He has designed for me to reach. I needed to take myself off the equation because if you're focused on you or feel it's about you, you can wake up one day and say you're done, then pack up and be that normal person.

The courage you're picking up to step out in faith isn't really about you,

That gift God has given you, isn't about you,

That purpose God has birth through you, isn't about you,

You need to take yourself off the equation and that way you can go all out and do this job. Unless you intentionally want to be disobedient or selfish and I believe you don't want to do that and even if you do want to do that, I'm telling you not to.

The beautiful thing about all of this is that God is not unfaithful not to reward your efforts. So, you still get blessed.... It's not like you're working for free. However, the gain shouldn't be your focus. It should be pleasing God and serving others. 

I hope you step out in faith and do what God has called you to do. God has you.

Have a great week!

Live Fearlessly.

BEHIND THE WALLS & BEYOND THE WALLS

Happy Tuesday..... 

During my university days, we were grouped to do a prison project. This project entailed, visiting the prisons, interacting with the inmates to find out the offence they were charged with, how long they had been in prison and other necessary information.

During this exercise, I discovered that everyone in that prison including the innocent ones and those who did commit the offence they were charged with wanted one thing, and that was freedom. Certain activities that go on outside the prison walls also take place in the prison to help the inmates, but that wasn't enough, they wanted the life beyond the walls. 

*********

Self imprisonment is when you allow all that you desire to be, all that God has called you to be, all the lives you need to impact, all the love you could give and receive, all the free life you would have lived, your opinions, inputs to the world, all your dreams and aspirations, the very life you want to have to exist only in your imagination and roaming behind the walls of fear. 

The prisoners I used for illustrations above are in the prison and could take part in certain activities like schooling, football, carpentry, etc, but all these existed only in the prison, not beyond it. You can fantasize all you want and travel the world in your head, until it comes to materialization it's still a dream and you're still a prisoner of your own self.

The difference between you and the prisoners above is that you have a choice to set yourself free because you have the keys, but these prisoners don't.

You can and should decide today, to live that life you fantasize about in reality not in the prison walls of fear.

Decide to free yourself, to walk the path less travelled, to live your best, to fulfill your purpose, to make impact, to live a life worthy to be remembered, to be bold and fearless.

The choice is yours.... To stay prisoner of fear or set yourself free to fly beyond limits.

I hope you choose wisely.

Stay fearless and enjoy your week. 

Love you large 😍

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 😘

QUITTING IS BETRAYAL

Ever been betrayed before by someone you love and gave your trust?

If you haven't, I pray you don't experience that, but if you have, I bet you know how that feels, right? 

When God made us, He empowered us and gave us dominion over everything on earth. I'm sure you know how powerful that is. And for God to trust us
with such a responsibility means, He's certain we're capable of handling it.

Every dream God has given you and that purpose for which He has created you, was done out of trust that you can handle it. With that responsibility, He has also assigned people He intends you to reach, with what He has given you.

So imagine, a gift someone wanted to send across to you was given to your trusted friend and he or she either decides to destroy it or willingly refuses to deliver it to you even when this fellow knows how much of help this gift is going to be to you. How will you feel?

Imagine this one gift that will change your life for good never got to you, just because the person who received it handled it without caution.

This is how it is with what God has given us. We're not exactly here for ourselves. We're here for each other and to help each other become what God has called us to be. Why hoard yours and hinder someone else's progress? Why betray that soul who will benefit from your gift? Why betray God who trusted you with that gift to deliver?

Pushing gets hard, but it's not an excuse to quit. Lives are depending on your courage, souls are waiting to be reached by what you do.... How long are you going to wait around and delay the progress of others by not taking responsibility?

If you did quit, or you're contemplating it, or in the process already.... I hope you now have reasons to go back to your post. Lives are depending on you, don't take this for granted.

Have a fearless day and live fearlessly

Love you large!
