1.Choose peace over attention. Today, many crave attention that sometimes they do it at the expense of what is priceless. Yes. Peace. You often see the most mundane detail of someone’s life on social media, expecting likes & comments. Stay away from the fray. Maintain your dignity.

2.Will you help someone even if you know you’ll get nothing in return? The truth is anyone can help when there’s something in it for them but to help when there’s nothing to be gained shows a beautiful heart! It shows true sincerity. If you know someone like that, you’re blessed!

3.Everything goes according to His Divine Decree. That’s why life always works out because He wants the best for you. Even if it’s not according to your original plan, it’ll be in your favour. Find comfort knowing that everything you’re going through won’t last. Trust the process!

4.Oftentimes when you’re having a bad day, it’s because of your mindset. How often do you stress over things because you want more. You’re never content. Nothing is good enough. Adopt an attitude of gratitude. You’ll realise that life is more than enough. Learn to be grateful!

5.Remember the basic rule of life. You reap what you sow. Life’s often what you make of it. So don’t be upset when you didn’t get what you had expected because you didn’t put in the effort & didn’t do the work! That’s the brutal truth. The sooner you embrace that, the better!

6.Don’t give up on your loved ones. Remember, not everyone will be on the same path as you and that’s life. Your job is to constantly pray for them, waiting for that turning point in their lives. Keep going. It will happen if the Almighty wills. Guidance comes from Him alone!

7.The higher you climb, the harder you fall. You’ve heard the saying. While that doesn’t necessarily have to be the case, in the midst of success, it’s important to remain grounded. Humility is key. Don’t let success get to your head. Remember, nothing happens without His Will.

8.Why do some people find it hard to compliment others? It reinforces positive self-esteem. As much as we like to receive compliments, it’s equally important to be willing to give them. Being able to recognize good things in others is a sign of emotional intelligence & maturity!

9.Listen with the intention to understand rather than to merely respond when discussing an issue. But oftentimes, we get so caught up with putting our points across that we forget to listen to what’s being said. Be fair, remain calm and committed to hearing each other out.

10.Do you understand the workings of Satan? He is always there, lurking around to attack you. Do not let him win! Stand firm & resolute. Fight back with prayer. Be unflinching in your faith. Be absolutely sure what needs to be done. Seek the Almighty’s help always. He’ll guide you!
