Noticed that new year resolutions is all over the internet now , lol!!!! Different quotes and all but guess what , without SELF-DISCIPLINE , we will just see december 2019 again and then start asking ourselves same question we did this year. Let me tell you a small story about one of my 2018 resolutions in January.... So last year christmas, I was eating like the world was going to end and kept telling myself that once I get back to Lagos, I will do detox and start eating clean.... As at that January , I was weighing about 90kg. Christmas came and went by , and i got back to Lagos, did detox as I promised myself then all sorts of starvation kind of diet started and i also tried all deprivations but guess what?? Each time I decide to now indulge , I eat all up again then I go back to 90kg, I will then reassure myself that from the new month that I will be more serious, to cut the long story short, I came back home for christmas almost same weight... Why am I saying this? I neve...

Funny how I have always wanted to share this story and @lighthousengnetwork gave an opportunity to do so some weeks back after which I was like why not share this to the world at large.. Don’t get me wrong 😊    , I am not a master yet, still learning this rope but thought to share the little I have done while I grow my empire by God’s grace… My name is Solum Adoi-Elaigwu, l work with a mobile market research company as a business development consultant. My job involves meeting with clients to see how we can proffer solution to whatever challenge they have by conducting surveys / research regarding the challenge, as it is we don't have a physical office for now so l work from home unless when l have meetings with clients. To ensure that l have a structure, l wake up early, do my usual work out and set my to do list and get on it for the day.... Most times , l finish my meetings on time , do my proposals on time then spend my free time burning data online 😊 - s...

Be kind to the next person as you never know the battle he or she is fighting..... So a lady met an elderly woman at the bank and the woman just  walked up to one of the tellers and the lady asked, "Please ma'am, were you on the queue ? The woman turned , looked at the lady and just continued with the teller so the young  lady asked again, ma'am l was only asking a question. The elderly woman turned again to say something then the young lady was like , "its OK ma'am", they are already attending to you so its fine.... When the woman left, the teller now told the young lady that the elderly woman lost her only son and since  then, she has never been herself again..... This story is not to judge the young lady but for us to learn that people have different issues they are fighting... Even if the person that jumped the queue was much younger,  you still can't tell the battle she is fighting..... Kindness is very important no matter the situation or co...

My mentor Nkiru Olumide-Ojo says and i quote : "Self - assessment may be the toughest thing you have to do,because it requires being dispassionate about yourself and telling yourself hard truths if need be". I totally agree with this, and I also do mine daily...I always ask myself the question '' How did you do today'' ? The reason I do this is because firstly,   I have a goal and secondly, I want to be better. And to be better means I have to check myself daily. Its not for me to beat myself up when all doesn't go as planned;  but to check where I made a mistake then ask myself how do you get it better the next time. I don't like to use the word '' regret'' but rather ask how do I manage this better so as not to repeat it again. Self-assessment may look difficult because you need to be honest with yourself but trust me , if you are able to do this, it will sure help you to be better than you were yesterday. i...

The topic on its own has already explained all about the write up. What do you do with your 24 hours ? How do you manage your 24 hours ? Do you make an attempt each day to get closer to your dream? I also ask myself this question daily. Do you know that any one minute that passed within your 24 hours can never be recovered ( Pause & think ) We all are here for a purpose and we are to fulfil that purpose. To fulfil that purpose, every minute of your time must count. Write down the things you wish to achieve, write down what it will take to make that dream come true. Then make each day count by working towards that dream you have written down. Start today, Start now...

Life as they say is not a bed of roses but you know what ? No matter what we see and go through , this is no time to lose your head. It may look dark and gloomy but we have to keep the faith on. Do you know that you are destined for GREATNESS, guess you have heard it before but have you put a thought around it ? If no, sit alone and think through that phrase.  You have to speak that word into existence , have faith that it will happen. Let me tell you a bit on how I do it, whenever I feel like I am going to lose my head on any challenge, I tell God that I honestly don't know how you will do this but I know that you will do it. I also even tell God to help my unbelief, you know why ? Because sometimes , we tend to look at things with our human mind and when we do, it sure looks impossible. That is why I just hand it over and even tell God that I don't know how but I know you will. Another thing I do is listen to word of God, play all my christian songs ...

Ifey Ebu shared some good tips on Forgiveness. Please read below!!! '' Forgiveness is a virtue we all think we can afford until we actually try to do it. Why is it one of the best gifts we can give ourselves, yet one of the toughest act we struggle with? We all have different challenges with forgiving, for me it’s about having to keep forgiving when there’s a high tendency of a repeat offense? Sounds stupid? It’s not. I’m human, as imperfect as any other human, I have made mistakes in the past just like most humans. Thankfully, advance awareness has made me discover that forgiveness is the only way to set myself free from the hold of anger and resentment caused by previous hurts. Since forgiveness is first for my own good, I can as well avoid having to do so over and over again by just learning to ‘Forgive forward’. It means learning to forgive in advance. Kinda being in credit; instant and unending supply of it since I have to keep forgiving as l...

Ifey Ebu shared an interesting topic on Self -discovery , awareness and acceptance. Please read below!!! '' Do you know what it feels like to chase success and lose yourself in the process?  I do. Got married to my college sweetheart, had beautiful kids, living in a choice neighborhood, had an awesome job with an enviable position. Good cars, Luxury vacations, etc. Baby girl life, right?  WRONG! I was successful at building an image but I sucked at being me.  I was a wife, fit-mum, daughter, daughter in law, colleague/boss, part-entrepreneur, church worker, student, friend, slay queen, insecure, etc. I was everything except the only thing I should have being first: MYSELF! How can I be what I had no idea of?  Instead I tagged myself with all the societal labels until I got weighed down to rock bottom.  And I didn’t know who I was.  You don’t ever want to be that way. It got worse and out of ignorance I kept quiet because I didn’...

So I was going through my phone and it struck me that the new quarter starts  tomorrow .. A lot of things just came to mind. One is  gratitude to God for life and health & all the great opportunities. Next,  the following goals I set in the first quarter also strolled in; 1. Spiritual 2. Family 3. Career 4. Health / Fitness 5. Financial 6. Professional / Academic 7. Vocational Well so far, I will give myself 40% based on this first quarter; and this is actually below half mark ! This is already telling me that I need to get my acts together for the new quarter.  Goal setting is very key! I call it a life guide because it helps you evaluate yourself based on your life goals. New quarter is already upon us. Lets put it down and kick off.

Do you sometimes feel like you are losing yourself ? Confused at my question?  Ok, let me explain what I mean and also tell you how I feel sometimes. Some days ago, I was watching a movie alone and it just struck me that I used to be that lovey dovey girl . However, working as a consultant at the moment , in addition to building a business , working extra hard on being the best mum, wife , sister , friend etc has actually started taking a toll on me... I was like WOW!!! Girl, you need to take a deep breath and balance this! If not you will lose that sweet little girl that wants to still be her lovey dovey self, build her empire and still manage her family.. Its all about setting priorities!!!    ~ Learn to say ‘NO' to the things you can't handle ~ Evaluate your self constantly. These will surely help. Constant evaluation of self is so important.  Try it and let me know how you feel afterwards... Cheer...
