Turning Thirty: 30 Simple Lessons!

Posted on by @bravepublicity

As I approached turning 30 on the 1st of November this year.
I had multiple moments of reflection on my journey and life so far.
While I documented a number of things, and spent some time apart to fast, pray, reflect and prepare for the next phase of my life.

I also thought about what to share in a simplified form with people in my circle of influence.
So here are 30 lessons or nuggets you may find as useful.

Wishing you a splendid week.🤍

1. You are not helpless.
There is always a seed in your hand.
Ideas, Gifts, Talents.
Don’t disregard that seed because it comes easy to you or seems too small.

2. Put your best foot forward. Always!

3. Correct people in love.

4. Be the friend you want.

5. Focus on what’s before you. Your lane is yours.

6. Smell good. Smell good for yourself first. Make sitting beside others a pleasant and comfortable experience.

7. You can’t buy the affection of anyone or perform to get their affection.

8. Be yourself and improve to become a better version of yourself. Do it for you.

9. Be happy and laugh often, life is too short to live a sad and empty life.

10. Take joy in the little and big things. Enjoy those moments and let them encourage you.

11. Some of the best advice will come from those much younger than you are, so be open minded.

12. Give your younger siblings the respect they deserve.

13. Don’t be afraid to ask for help, there is no shame in that.

14. Dream big, but start young.

15. Don’t be afraid to start again. With God’s guidance, you can build better this time around.

16. Don’t let the unrealistic pressures of society, dictate how you should live or spend your money.

17. Be prudent with what you have, live within your means and try to have multiple streams of passive income.

18. Don’t give up before you begin to see the rewards.

19. It’s okay to stop, if it’s costing you your peace of mind, health or finances.

20. Prioritize taking care of yourself. There’s no need to feel guilty.

21. Pay attention to your body. Don’t ignore signs when you are overworked, tired or need better care.

22. Don’t sweat the small stuff. Stop stressing over the small things.

23. Just be kind.

24. The world doesn’t revolve around you alone, so be sensitive enough to observe when others need your help.

25. If you don’t have firsthand knowledge about something or someone, give things time.

26. Don’t be a gossip.

27. Handle disagreements with grace. Diverse perspectives help you understand people and also see the world the way others see it.

28. Stop worrying. Pray instead, then do your best and leave the rest.

29. Pray ooo. Don’t get tired of praying. Pray about everything and anything. God listens but you also need to listen too.

30. God loves you unconditionally, so you can learn to love, and trust Him.

Thanks for reading.🤍

Brave Review: Go For Gold

Posted on by @bravepublicity

“Go for Gold” by John C. Maxwell is such an amazing book.
A little pocket sized and companion guide to “Leadership Gold”

I first came across this book in my final year as an undergraduate. It was a pivotal period in my life and the peak of my leadership experience while on campus.

It was such a great read, that you would find me smiling at myself while reading or nodding in agreement to the lessons I was being opened up to.
Curiosity got a hold of others around me that they would eventually ask about the book, as I carried it every where I went, even to our farm practice sessions. Lol!

Every chance I got, I read and it really helped me stay focused, organized and aligned as a young leader.
The small size of this book makes it so easy to read.

With a weekly schedule of 26 lessons broken into days of the work week and a notes section. Helping you reflect on what you’ve learnt, almost like a devotional.

So it’s so easy to read, even as you learn in small bites great lessons for impact as a leader.
I eventually got the main book Leadership Gold and I totally enjoyed that as well.

I highly recommend “Go for Gold” by John C. Maxwell.
It’s truly an amazing and empowering book for every leader, team member and business oriented individual.

Such a great book, full of so much actionable knowledge and much wisdom.
Gold truly!
Highly recommended.

#BraveReview.
“Becoming Fearless” by the Season 6 Winner of “The Biggest Loser” reality show, Michelle Aguilar is one of the most inspiring and honest documentations in form of a book!

With thorough insight on overcoming real life challenges and working through them in the midst of much fear, pain, confusion and setbacks.
It is a book of a young woman’s experience in her journey through resilience and perseverance even when giving up seemed like a great choice.

Beyond winning, it is a true life story of forgiveness, reconciliation, purpose and the journey of learning to trust God beyond the shadows of doubt and fear.

Certainly a good read to encourage you in dark and challenging times!
One that inspires you to become fearless, against all odds!

Thank you Michelle Aguilar for this life transforming book!
