You are a person of worth,
Yes, you!
Right here, right now,
Even in those sweatpants,
And even without make up.
Your worth doesn’t lie in whether or not you have a job,
Whether or not you have money,
Whether or not you’ve found your soulmate,
Whether or not you’re smashing your goals.
You’re worthy;
Because you were created for a purpose,
With or without the strappings of life,
You remain a person of worth.
Just wanted to you remind you!

I came across the picture below some days back and burst out laughing. Few things are able to describe me 100% and this is one of them. 😂
There are times when our souls get really restless. Nothing satisfies us the way it used to, environments we once loved become uncomfortable. Much like a shoe you almost died to get and suddenly abandoning it in your closet. Read more
Most of us know the famous Nike slogan. But how do you tell an over analytical person to just do it? I mean, I’ve gotta draw out the pros and cons list. I’ve gotta calculate the height and distance before I take the leap. What if things don’t work out fine? Read more
Grrrrrr!! It’s Monday again! I slammed the alarm clock on the bedside table and opted for 5 more minutes. Who was I kidding? 5 minutes could be the difference between getting to work on time and being stuck in rush-hour traffic; between having a good day or a crappy day. Finally, I dragged myself in and out of the bathroom and hit the road at 5:00 AM. Of course, the peculiarity of Lagos makes it necessary to hit the road so early in order to get to your destination on time.
I kept brooding about Mondays as I stared out the window, looking at the cars queuing up on both lanes. Soon enough we pulled up behind a similar queue. The inevitable rush-hour traffic was already building up. Mondays are freaking crazy! The traffic is out of this world, the stress to and fro…I can go on and on about why Mondays suck but let me rather use a few memes to describe this feeling.
I’m sure most of you can relate! 😀
However, in the middle of my brooding, the Holy Spirit reminded me of a particular quote I had seen a while back which said; ‘There is nothing wrong with Mondays, just our attitude towards it’.
Truth is, Monday is the same as any other day. It has only 24 hours (even though most times I think it’s up to 26 hours). It is our attitude towards Monday that makes it the big scary monster it is.
Please note that your attitude towards Monday could affect the remaining days of the week. If we keep trudging through Mondays, we may just find ourselves trudging through the week, waiting only to thank God for Friday #TGIF (which ought not)
Let’s change our attitude and perspective towards Mondays. Maybe, just maybe, the problem isn’t with the day, but with you.
Don’t pull through the day as though the weight of the world is on your shoulders. Remember that you can’t have a good day with a bad attitude and a bad day with a good attitude. Your attitude makes the difference!
Happy Monday Friends!
Have a victorious week ahead!

This is the day the Lord has made so we will rejoice and be glad in it! Ps 118:24 🙂
