Wherever we find ourselves we should strive for the continue unity of the fold

I personally resolved that my family must remain united and it had continually worked magic
We have been able to achieve so much more as a team

We should encourage bonding and camaraderie, we should foster shared ownership, celebrate individual milestone together
And when issue arises which must they should be addressed promptly to prevent escalation , we should proffer mutual beneficial solutions , we must not disagree to agree, we should learn and grow together

In every team having same values is a key factor and unity should never be taken for granted

The word for today is HOPE

Todays word resonate so well with me because my life has always been about Hope

My faith base on hope has propelled me to my present state
It ignited my inner strength
My resilience and perseverance
It was hope that made me believe there are better days ahead

It was hope that made me walk into a school without a dime and negotiate my children bills and they are enrolled and I will pay before time
It was hope that made me home school my children when I could not afford fees
It was plain Hope and I believed I can do it, that it is possible despite the odds

Positivity transforms our mindset
It shift our focus from problems to proceeding solutions

Hope and positivity
- Are the beacons of light in our darkest of time
- They are the driving forces that propels us to push forward
- They inspire us to overcome obstacles
And at the end of the day we are able to achieve our dreams

Hope boost confidence
Help overcome trauma
Strengthen relationships
Birth creativity and innovations
And it help on enhancing mental and emotional well being

I am a child of hope and I will continue to keep hoping for the best because I believe it is possible

One of Theodore Roosevelt quotes sim up my belief “ Believe you can and you are halfway there “

Be hopeful and you will unlock more than you can even imagine
Work it out

The word for today is Forgiveness

According to Mahatma Gandhi “Forgiveness is the attribute of the strong “

Show me a strong personality and I will show you a forgiving soul or I will rephrase it to , show me a forgiving person and I will show you a strong personality

Forgiveness is not for others , we shouldn’t be expecting forgiveness from others instead it should be for ourselves
Forgiving is a release from
- anger
- ⁠hurt
- ⁠resentment
So by choosing forgiveness we open ourselves to
- healing
- ⁠peace
- ⁠freedom
- ⁠growth
- ⁠new beginnings

I have offended people and genuinely seek forgiveness and hopefully they might have forgiven me , likewise I have learnt to forgive people who have secretly offended me or openly wrong me because I understand the dynamics in forgiving . Though forgiveness doesn’t excuse wrong doing or forget past hurts or condone harmful action rather it acknowledges pain , releases bitterness embraces understand and chooses compassion.

As you reflect on forgiveness today
- release all forms of negativity
- ⁠retrospect on those whom you need to forgive which include yourself
- ⁠And take genuine steps towards healing and peace

And my affirmation today is

I choose forgiveness
I let go of any form of negativity
I embrace peace
I embrace love and compassion

Together we ail make the word a better place

The word for today is SELF CARE

Self care is also self love
Which literally means prioritizing oneself above every other thing

It is an essential part of one habit in maintaining physical , emotional and mental well being
When we prioritize our self care , it reduces stress and anxiety , it improves mental clarity and increase focus , it helps boost our mood and energy , it improves our coping skills and supports our overall health and well being, for a sick body cannot perform to optimal level .

It is important to prioritize and plan our self care routine into our schedules this help in achieving our set goals in totality .

For us to be able to achieve this we can create a plan as suggested earlier with this :
- set boundaries ( people should learn to respect your space and it’s only you that can set that and pass it on )

- ⁠learn to say NO : It used to be difficult for me but now I can easily say no because I need to say No when I mean to say No , unlik before where I am always considerate of others before me .

- ⁠invest in yourself : self development is my latest past time and I am enjoying it .

- ⁠make self care an habit : Life was always about people , and I come last but I thank God for the new realization which clearly sink in , that you can only give what you have and I have to be full to give something .

- ⁠schedule self care time : My me time is no longer negotiable for I almost loss my life neglecting myself for the sake of others .

- ⁠chose activities that bring joy and relaxation : it is a zero time for any form of negativity
I now abhor such so my life is just about me and what makes me happy and comfortable

It’s good to note that self care is a journey not a destination
It is a process that is continuous
So prioritizing yourself which is the new norm is a very necessary act for living a happy , healthy and fulfilling life

The word for today is Perseverance

The major tool for overcoming adversity or any form of obstacles is perseverance
It’s simply the ability to persist in the face of challenges or setbacks
It can simply be captured as the resilience to keep moving even when the journey gets tough

Perseverance is not about being perfect but being persistent

In my life struggles it has been one obstacle over the other but one thing I have always had going for me is that I have always known and believe it is possible all I had to do was to push a little longer
At every point of my life journey I have always navigated by celebrating every milestone no matter how inconsequential it might seem to others
I am always learning and improving on myself
I find ways to stay motivated despite the various obstacles
And lastly I have learnt to surround myself with positive influences

Remember this
- Perseverance is a muscle that grows stronger by being persistence
- ⁠You are capable of overcoming any obstacle
- ⁠And finally know it that every step forward is a step to victory

May we not be overwhelmed by situations but instead we garner the strength to keep on pushing

I care

The word for today is PERFECTION

Perfection is not a destination or a one off act , it is a continuous journey of improvement and refinement

For humans to achieve perfection we ought to have a growth mindset and this requires intentional effort and self awareness and practices that foster continuous learning and development . And to achieve this also we would have to embrace some strategies like
- Striving for excellence
- ⁠Passion for quality
- ⁠Attention for detail
- ⁠continuous learning
- ⁠self growth

When we pursue perfection we increase our confidence, enhanced our credibility, increase satisfaction and we are able to inspire others

Though according to Vince Lombardi “Perfection is not attainable but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence “
So whatever we find let’s do it will all our hearts knowing with the right push we will get there and achieve excellence

We can cultivate the following daily habits that I am presently practicing
- journaling : Reflection
- ⁠meditation : Serenity
- ⁠reading : knowledge
- ⁠exercise : Vitality
- ⁠gratitude :Appreciation
These practices nurture mental , emotional and physical well being

So strive for perfection and achieve excellence

Our total well being is the goal

The word for today is KINDNESS

Kindness is the language that the deaf can hear and the blind see

People naturally are endeared to kind persons

In my usual prayer lines I will always say we should be gifted with
- kind children

- ⁠kind friends
- ⁠kind colleagues
- ⁠Be kind yourself
You are a product of what you are
Having the gift of kind people around you makes life seamlessly
Kind people will go out of their way to support you irrespective or despite the odds

A kind person

Forgive easily
Listen actively

Also having kind people around us help
Strengthens our relationships
Improves our mental health

According to the English dictionary persevere is defined as continuing in a course of action even in the face of difficulty or with little or no indication of success.

It’s no wonder Steve Maraboli in his one of his quotes stated that “ life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving ; We get stronger and more resilient “

Obstacles are temporary setbacks and with a persevere mindset we will be able to overcome such obstacles , and we are able to achieve our goals , learn from the failures build resilience and we are able to build and grow our personal characters

Remember that if we fall seven times , stand up eight times (Japenese Proverb)and for that we should do the followings
- celebrate small and big wins
- ⁠find support
- ⁠be accountable
- ⁠focus on your progress (we are not perfect)
- ⁠practice self care
- ⁠Also self compassion is essential

I leave us with the knowledge that victory awaits us all on the other side of the divide
