10 lessons from
" THINK BIG "📚
-
1. Don't be afraid to dream big. The first step to achieving anything is to believe that it's possible. So don't be afraid to dream big, even if your dreams seem impossible.

2. Set goals and make a plan. Once you know what you want, it's time to create a plan for how you're going to achieve it. Break your goals down into smaller, more manageable steps, and then make a schedule for when you're going to complete each step.

3. Take action. The most important thing is to take action. Don't just sit around and dream about what you want to achieve. Take steps every day to move closer to your goals.

4. Don't give up. There will be times when you want to give up. But if you keep going, you will eventually achieve your goals.

5. Be patient. It takes time to achieve anything worthwhile. So be patient and don't expect to see results overnight.

6. Surround yourself with positive people. The people you spend time with have a big impact on your success. So surround yourself with positive people who will support you and help you achieve your goals.

7. Believe in yourself. The most important thing is to believe in yourself. If you believe that you can achieve your goals, then you're halfway there.

8. Never stop learning. The world is constantly changing, so it's important to keep learning new things. The more you learn, the better equipped you'll be to achieve your goals.

9. Don't be afraid to fail. Everyone fails at some point. But don't let failure discourage you. Learn from your mistakes and keep moving forward.

10. Enjoy the journey. Don't just focus on the end goal. Enjoy the journey of achieving your goals. It's a journey that will teach you a lot about yourself and help you grow as a person.

I hope these lessons help you on your journey to achieving your dream and having a better experience running towards your dreams and goals.

Remember.
“The man who walks because he loves walking will walk further than the man who loves the destination.”

But the man who walks to save his loved ones won’t stop no matter how much he hates walking.

Use whatever it takes to to get to wherever you wanna go.’’

Be blessed 😊

Addition to that which is even more important is that we are given a a chance to make improvements of plans and modifications of what did not work in 2023 or we performed below standards and we were eventually not pleased by the outcomes, what a great opportunity.

So hear are my 12 insights and steps you can take and i am certain they can improve this year and make it even memorable year you will always be pleased to reflect and remember the rest of your life.

🌟 Title: "🌟 Think and Grow Rich in 12 Steps 🌟"

🔥 Step 1: Burning Desire - 🔥 Be in love with your goal! Let that passion fuel your journey. Your burning desire is the spark that ignites the path to success. It's that fire within your soul that keeps you motivated, pushing you to overcome obstacles and persist when challenges arise. Cultivate this desire, nurture it daily, and watch how it transforms mere dreams into tangible realities. Fall in love with the process as much as the end goal, and you'll find unwavering dedication in every step you take towards your aspirations.

💪 Step 2: Absolute Faith - 💪 No matter what, believe in yourself and your dreams. Absolute faith acts as your unwavering anchor during turbulent times. It's the unshakeable belief that propels you forward when doubts try to creep in. Trust the process, trust your abilities, and most importantly, trust that you're on the right path. This unyielding faith becomes the driving force behind every action, guiding you steadily towards the realization of your ambitions.

🗣️ Step 3: Self Talk - 🗣️ Speak your goal into existence daily, in the present tense. Your words hold immense power. The consistent repetition of your goals transforms mere thoughts into convictions. By affirming your aspirations in the present tense, you're programming your subconscious mind for success. This self-talk technique reinforces your commitment and aligns your thoughts with the direction you want to move in. Embrace the language of success, and watch how your reality begins to mirror your affirmations.

🎯 Step 4: Specialize - 🎯 Become the go-to expert in your niche. Specialization is the cornerstone of expertise. Dive deep into your chosen field, immerse yourself in knowledge, and hone your skills to perfection. By narrowing your focus, you amplify your impact. Position yourself as a thought leader, offering invaluable insights and solutions. Your expertise becomes your unique selling point, setting you apart in a competitive landscape.

💡 Step 5: Imagination - 💡 Your mind is powerful. If you can dream it and believe it, you can achieve it! Embrace the boundless realm of your imagination. Visualize your success vividly, let your dreams soar, and envision the possibilities. Imagination is the birthplace of innovation. Allow it to paint the picture of your future, and watch as your thoughts materialize into concrete actions.

📝 Step 6: Plan - 📝 Map out your path to success. Make a plan and work it diligently. A well-thought-out plan is the roadmap to achievement. Break down your goals into manageable steps, set deadlines, and create a clear path forward. Your plan becomes the blueprint guiding your actions, ensuring focus and efficiency in every endeavor.

🚀 Step 7: Take Massive Action - 🚀 Decide swiftly, act promptly. Speed is the key to success! Taking massive action propels you forward at an accelerated pace. Don't hesitate; make decisions promptly and execute them swiftly. Momentum is your ally on the journey to success. By embracing this principle, you seize opportunities and stay ahead in the race towards your goals.

🔁 Step 8: Be Persistent - 🔁 Never give up! Persistence is the bridge between goals and achievement. Persistence is the unwavering determination that keeps you going despite setbacks. It's the resilience to bounce back stronger every time life throws challenges your way. Stay committed to your goals, persevere through adversity, and let your determination be your guiding light through the darkest of times.

💪 Step 9: Rebound from Failure - 💪 Failure is a lesson, not the end. Bounce back stronger every time! Embrace failure as an opportunity to learn and grow. It's not the end of the road but a detour leading you towards success. Analyze the setbacks, extract lessons, and use them as stepping stones to move forward. Your ability to rebound from failure determines your resilience and shapes your ultimate success story.

🤝 Step 10: Collaborate - 🤝 Working with others multiplies your effectiveness. Teamwork makes the dream work! Collaboration amplifies your capabilities by harnessing the strengths of others. Partnering with like-minded individuals creates synergy, fostering innovation and collective success. Embrace collaboration as a powerful tool in your journey towards achieving greatness.

🔥 Step 11: Take Risks - 🔥 Embrace risks; they ignite the fire within and propel you forward. Calculated risks often lead to exponential growth. Step out of your comfort zone, embrace uncertainty, and leverage risks as opportunities for progress. The courage to take risks fuels your ambition and propels you towards remarkable achievements.

🌱 Step 12: Self Improvement - 🌱 Grow daily. Continuous improvement opens doors to new opportunities. Imagine being 365x better a year from now! Self-improvement is the cornerstone of personal and professional growth. Commit to lifelong learning, seek new knowledge, acquire new skills, and evolve constantly. Every step towards self-improvement is an investment in your future success. Embrace this journey of growth, and watch how it transforms you into the best version of yourself.

✨ Have a blessed day and an incredible year ahead, fam! Let's conquer our goals together. ✨

Warm regards

I also want to take this opportunity to wish you a happy holiday break. I hope you will have a chance to relax and enjoy some time with your family and friends.
I would love to hear about what you learned during the holiday break. Did you travel anywhere interesting? Did you learn any new skills?

In the meantime, I wish you all the best in your exams.

Hello Fam 🥰,

How y'all doing today Personally I am doing fine hitting my books for final exam preparation due in the next week. So during this time of last minutes preparation it's very important to someone to maintain productivity spirit and mindset throughout a day so as to be as productive as one can be.

Now Is it possible to stay PRODUCTIVE without being overworked?⏱

Can't wait to tell you that getting everything done in time and staying fresh is absolutely possible!
Tips that help me do it:

• Have enough rest(rhis is very important for a healthy mind)
• Do some evening or morning workouts or walks just to refresh your brain 🧠 with enough oxygen (Reccomendation from mom 🥰😘)
• Plan your day
• Fulfill challenging tasks first
• Don't forget to take breaks!
Incorporate rest into your day plan - it will help you stay productive
• Repeat a phrase to yourself that motivates you, such as: "I can do this!"
That way you will be motivated and it will speed up your work.

Try it out and lets share how it works out for you guys.

Have a blessed one fam 🥰❤️.

Hello Fam 🥰,

Its me again, hopefully your are doing well and are enjoying the lessons i hit you with ☺️, give me a feedback from what you learn and I will be so happy to hear from you ☺️.

So today ii wanna share with you on Boosting self-esteem ☺️.

▫️The first step in overcoming any bad habits is being aware of them. Observe yourself. Instead of engaging in self-condemnation, try to get to know yourself by analyzing the way you behave.
⠀
▫️Change your social circle. Take note which people are present in your life and what is the essence of your relationship with them. Perhaps, if you objectively evaluate your environment, you will see that you give people more than you get from them.
⠀⠀
▫️Never forget about your strengths and don't be too hard on yourself. For personal use only, make a list of your inherent strengths and what you do really well.

▫️Keep calm and try to mitigate stress.
Avoid the hustle and bustle. Develop stress resistance.

You will gain self-confidence if you do the tasks you set yourself.

What is the most challenging task from the above mentioned when it comes to boosting self esteem and why do you think it is??!

Have a blessed one fam 🥰

Good morning fam 🥰,

Welcome to
#StoryWithJo💡 🥰, where we got learn from different moral stories 🥰, who doesn’t love stories ☺️.

Day 1 💡.

💎Dealing With Adversity💎

A daughter who was dealing with adversity complained to her father about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved a new one arose.

Her father, a chef, took her to the kitchen. He filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire. Soon the pots came to a boil. In one he placed carrots, in the second he placed eggs, and in the last he placed ground coffee beans. He let them sit and boil, without saying a word.

The daughter sucked her teeth and impatiently waited, wondering what he was doing. In about twenty minutes he turned off the burners. He fished the carrots out and placed them in a bowl. He pulled the eggs out and placed them in a bowl. Then he ladled the coffee out and placed it in a mug. Turning to her he asked, "Daring, what do you see?" she replied: "Carrots, eggs, and coffee,"

He brought her closer and asked her to feel the carrots. She did and noted that they were soft. He then asked her to take an egg and break it. After pulling off the shell, she observed the hard-boiled egg. Finally, he asked her to sip the coffee. She smiled as she tasted its rich aroma. She humbly asked. "What does it mean, Father?"

He explained that each of them had faced the same adversity, boiling water, but each reacted differently. The carrot went in strong, hard, and unrelenting. But after being subjected to the boiling water, it softened and became weak. The egg had been fragile. Its thin outer shell had protected its liquid interior. But after sitting through the boiling water, its inside became hardened. The ground coffee beans were unique, however. After they were in the boiling water, they had changed to the water. "Which are you?" he asked his daughter. "When adversity knocks on your door, how do you respond? Are you a carrot, an egg, or a coffee bean?

Brainstorming 💭.

What do you think these people are?!, Can you tell their difference, who do you choose to be? 🌝.

Have a bless one fam 🥰

Hello Fam 🥰,
Hopefully you are doing fine fine and you are fighting to win them days with power and enthusiasm ☺️.

Well as I promised, today i wanna talk to you about How to overcome the delayed life syndrome.

Delayed life Syndrome is dangerous to your overall health, finances, and life in general. It is an illness that must be dealt with.

Improving self-esteem, doing things immediately without putting off "for later" will completely save a person from obsessive thoughts, and she or he will become the happiest and healthiest person in the world.

Stay blessed fam 🥰❤️.

Hi fam 🥰,

Its me again, 🥰🥰🌝.

So now i wanna share with you on something called “Delayed Life Syndrome”. Maybe you have never heard about it but trust me you have seen it already.

Delayed Life Syndrome

People who constantly puts things off and say to themselves phrases like that: "it's for a holiday," "I'll wait for a special occasion," "I'll rest after retirement," etc. suffer from the delayed life syndrome.

It all comes from a deep childhood and low self-esteem. Parents often impose these views on their children, and then children do the same on their children.

This syndrome can be compared to a road to "nowhere". The person takes no action except things that he or she is ordered to do. Such a person is completely miserable, because life is passing by him or her.

Thousands of people hate their school, their university, their job, the country they live in. Yet they continue to do nothing, complain about life, and continue to postpone pleasant and important things in life. When a person of this kind is sad, he or she begins to fight depression by gorging on foods, which leads to health issues.

Now, given you have known about the Doctrine, In the next journal i will tell you how to effectively deal with it or to help someone who is facing it.
Thanks 🙏.

Hello Fam 🥰,

Hopefully you are doing well, from this side everything is a blessing 🌝.

Have you ever thought 💭 on Reasons behind Rejections 🌝.

So maybe you have or you haven’t but here is my thought on this. Value ✅.

Basically Wether it’s Acceptance or Rejection is basically based on Value you have and will provide to the relationship, so this goes further to Employment 🌝, you didn’t see that coming did you 🤓. I couldn’t even if it was me ☺️, so don’t beat yourself up.

Yeah, so it’s really important to build up and have yourself equipped with varieties of values you will never know jn which relationship you will need it. So basically every value you have is important in certain relationship wether implicit or explicit. Be it Romantic, Agency, Employment Relationship you mention the rest. So if you really don’t wanna face rejection do not apply for relationship before you know you have the value required.

I just compared this to the analogy of how we applied for school 🏫/ university, we basically had to have required values (Prerequisites) before you apply for the school and atudenr relationship 🤓.

What do y’all think about today’s night thought 💭☺️.

Stay blessed fam 🥰🥰

Hi fam 🥰,

What a great day, its just my hope that you are fine and doing well pursuing your dreams and trust me efforts pays just when you don’t give up.

So today i wanna share with you something about dreams and their implementations connected to something called daydreaming.

Look you really have to Stop dreaming your dream and start taking little steps

Daydreaming and imagining your achievements is a big mistake. You need to constantly think about what you want and visualize the result in detail. Because, this way, a person not only ceases to be present and self-aware, but also plunges into a fantasy world, when he could have begun to act on bringing his dream to life.

Let's say that in order to find a dream job, you first need to at least post a resume. In this sense, its potential power is greater than that of visualizing a comfortable personal account and faith in being hired.

So just start working on your dreams putting in some work and not just dream without doing nothing. So #Talkyouractions then #ActionYourTalks 🥰☺️.
Stay blessed fam 🥰.

Hello Family,

Today, i came across this popular concept we definitely hear about everyday but it seems like its way too underrated, but its life changing concept once you get over with.

COMFORT ZONE: Where and why?

To begin with, this is not a zone in which we feel emotionally and psychologically comfortable. In fact, it is a set of habitual actions, activities, impressions, circumstances, choices that are well entrenched in our lives and perceived by our brain as a safe zone.

The warmer and more comfortable your comfort zone is, the harder it is to dare to change your life. It's indeed really difficult to do.

You may think you can quickly change what you've been creating for years. Yes, you can. However, Dramatic changes cause significant setbacks. That's because your brain won't let you just get it out of its comfort zone.

So IF YOU REALLY INTEND TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE, do it gradually and methodically and it will definitely work put with persistence and consistency.

Stay blessed fam 🥰

Hello all!
It has been a while since we last talk, I hope this journal finds you in the best of your health.
For couple of months I have been busy at hospital putting everything I read theoretically
in class into practice and I'm enjoying the work I'm doing. How about you? How far have you gone in your studies? anything new that you have experienced and would like to share with me? Hope you have experienced many great things

When I was at your age I had six honest friends in reading any subject and they taught me everything I know today their names are what,why,when,how, where and who. The more you use them the more knowledgeable you become.

Felix M.

I just want to say congratulation to you. You are currently studying at your Advance level secondary school (A-level). I am very proud of your accomplishment. You know there are still a lot of things you need to get yourself ready to go to University. The more prepare yourself the more successful you will be. I remember when I interviewed you before, you all have your dream of what you want to be. Make sure to try your best to reach it. You know education is very important in your life. You will be more successful if you get a better education. Life is in your hand (MMM). Next time when you write your journal,
I would like to know how are you doing when you study at your A-level school. What one class, teacher, book, or experience has changed the way you think? What do you consider the most urgent problem in the world today? Why? How would you solve it? If we were to ask your friends to describe you, what would they say? What are the most difficult things you have to solve by yourself?

Hello 👋,

Its my hope you are having a great day back to me i am doing just as great 👍.

So during the week i have been reading a story which was intentionally aiming at citing the importance of silence in communication and i wanna share with you my analysis of the story.

​Silence won the trophy 🏆☺️

People are afraid of long pauses during conversations. Suffice it to recall the painful moments when silence hangs at the festive table.

Do you need to get more information about someone, or do you want to make a good deal?
Silence will help with this. Pauses in communication will cause a feeling of awkwardness, and your interlocutor will involuntarily seek to fill them.

So silence is very important part of communication and it is best cited as the most powerful non-verbal communication skill.

So learn how to use it wisely and you will be as wise.

Stay blessed fam 🥰.
