It may not come when you expect it, It may not come the way you wanted it, It may not come at the time you tagged right 😉 It may even seem as though it won’t come again 😅 But hope and Faith in the truth always turns out right. Keep holding on, keep trusting and keep doing your very best. Time will prove it all. God Still Cares!!! Happy New Week 🎉🎉🗺️ ©J.O AKUBO

People win by wisdom, Some soar by strength, Others ride on relationships, Yet, a lot have strength but are still struggling, They know a lot of influential people but they are still battling to get things working. It’s funny and sounds weird but there are still poor wise men today  It’s indeed not by power nor might, intentions are not even sufficient, there is more to life than you Know, find him. I don talk my own but no forget…. God Still Cares!!!! Happy New Week ©J.O AKUBO

There are times in life when it feels like nothing makes sense. Sometimes you’re tempted to think nothing is really actually working. Friends becomes foes and fear tries hard to grip and blind your hope of a future. This often happens in life but one thing that never changes but remains ever reliable and trustworthy is the Love God expresses through his care and cheering. You are not alone! In fact, there is hope for you! #GodStillCares Happy New Week © J.O Akubo

“Don’t celebrate your folks doing well just because you’re are hoping for your time to come; celebrate them genuinely because you’re connected to them no matter how little the connectivity may be.” Envy, greed and selfishness has formed the basis of the so many irregularities we are experiencing in the world today. And I personally think that these three evil characters are not just showing up because of lack of self control amongst other things but because we constantly forget that together in our individual uniqueness we make the great difference. I had the privilege of visiting a friend after a long time and it was really exciting to see my friend doing well. My excitement was born out of the joy that this person doing good is someone I knew and that was enough for me. It was then this thought popped up; If everyone will cultivate that seemingly simple mindset, I believe we will be better. That feeling of I know that lady, guy, man or woman will not only foster love but will give ro

"It is not a taboo to desire and want more from life." A lot of people have conclusively given up on the expectation of the good and bright future they envisaged, possibly because of the experiences they have had over the years. Some do this convincing themselves with statements like “Perhaps that’s how life is.” My dear that’s not how life is. You don’t have to remain there, you don’t have to keep bearing that abusive relationship afterall it’s not yet a marriage relationship. You don’t have to keep bearing it if it’s not bringing out the beauty. You must decide to be deliberate with your joy and happiness. Don’t leave it to chances, it is your right and you deserve it just like any other person. Shake off everything that is out to steal and still your happiness and joy. Beat your past, possess your today and become optimistic about your future. Happy New Week🎉🎉🗺️🌋 © J.O Akubo

“Take the simple steps you should, now! procrastination is hazardous to your future in full.” Many times in Life we suffer some bad experiences and situations that we could have probably avoided or minimised if we had taken the little little steps that was expected of us when we should. Perhaps you could have been much healthier if you had learnt to take your health serious. Perhaps you would have been richer than you are now if you had done the required when that little investment idea popped up in your mind few years ago. Who knows, you would have been married by now if you didn’t judge that lady or that guy by their then present situation. And a whole lot of simple things we could have done earlier. Always remember that today is still yesterday’s future and tomorrow’s past. So you can start taking those simple steps now against tomorrow. God loves you so much that he has trusted you with the vital role of decision making, don’t abuse it. Make each day count for your destiny! Please

Every situation is an opportunity; Take your eyes off the immediate and see the bridges and roads hidden in that situation. A very popular Christian hymn  "IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL" that has blessed so many people across generations today, came from a very trying time of lost and agony. The legendary law of gravity was born out of a situation that most people would have considered absolutely normal and seemingly usual;”A FALLING APPLE”. These and many more situations have birthed great stories yet, our generation has decided to settle and commonize everything. That situation you are in right now can birth a story that will transform so many lives. That your challenge could produce something that will bring solace to so many generations if only you will look beyond the normal. To tell you the truth, I wrote this article on a resting bed and I know it will ignite something special in someone even if it’s not you. There is something in that your situation and challenge, dare to b

Life was never designed to have all fingers equal, but all fingers have the right to be important and valued. We all grew up to know that the sky is large enough for everyone to soar which actually sounds true but logically seem to be an illusion. Take for instance a nation can only have one president per time, an organization can only have one GMD at a time and so forth. So please tell me how come this big sky is only accommodating one person at a time if we all can be up there??? I know some logical people will be supporting that question right now but could it be that we have not been looking at things from the right direction?? We can't all be the pilot but we can all be in the plane flying so high if only we will stop trying to be the pilot and be the best of us that we were designed to be. The little finger is not less important than the middle finger. They are both important in their own way but they can never be equal in size. Perhaps I think it's time you stop fighting

It's ok to start small, as long as you don't stop growing. My generation is a funny one, I don't know if yours can relate with it. My generation believes in making it quick and they wouldn't mind cutting every process short either in righteousness or unrighteousness as long as it makes them get to where they envisaged faster. Coming to think about it, you will agree with me that it is not abnormal to suddenly breakforth and breakthrough, particularly because we may not have known what or which processes have been going on in the past. But we must generally recognize that life is a process. Hence the need to grow and follow process. Appreciate greatness but give growth it's due course. Rome we often say was not built in a day. Don't be ashamed to start small especially when that is your only option. Process is a language that only becomes clearer with time. It may seem like jagon initially but it will eventually make sense. So, please pick something from all the

If staying safe is save stay there, otherwise take the step that will get you into safety. Of late I have been ending the weekly catalyst with keep staying safe and some how this question popped up in my head," How safe is staying safe?" Please for clarity I am not in anyway referring to staying safe from Covid 19 right now. So on that please stay safe. Now back to the crust of my message, so many of us have stayed so long in the comfort zone of danger with the wrong ideology of staying safe. We won't invest because it's too risky, some won't start a family because they feel it's too risky for their current level, some can't afford to take the step that will open up their destinies because of the fear of failure and rejection and so forth. Look, again I am saying, if staying safe is save stay there otherwise, you better take that step that will get you into the safety of fulfilment. I dare you this week to take that step you have kept procrasti

The beauty of life is in satisfaction and fulfilment and not just in more. First things first, I never said wanting more like Oliver twist is bad. As a matter of fact, growth often times comes with more.However, when more becomes the focus instead of fulfilment and genuine satisfaction then something is gradually getting misplaced. Enough of the parables, grow, work at becoming successful, productive and exceptional but please, don't do it at the expense of fulfilment. Life has been like a blink of an eye but it's becoming more evident especially in this times. As such I think it is wiser to spend this long short life on things that brings true joy and happiness, peace and fulfilment instead of pursuing shadows that only ends up creating more emptiness. Value realationships, become more serious with family and love and most importantly get closer to your maker. Happy New Week!!! ©J.O Akubo Keep Staying Safe.

Grow pass your past and travel light! In life many things create the impression that they are important in our lives but only few out of the many are really important. Don't spend this week majoring on minors and inconsequential activities. Find those things that really matter to your present and future and work on them. Grow pass your past and travel light! You need good but right speed. ©J.O Akubo Happy New Week!!! Please keep staying safe..........

It doesn't have to initially make sense to eventually make sense. Hello! It feels good to be back. I went on a one month recess and I am back. In the face of the so many things happening in our world today like the Covid 19 pandemic, we must deliberately decide not to allow events determine our destiny. So many things may not be adding up right now and there is a tendency to have our thoughts go haywire. However you must always remember that things are not always as they seem. Golds are not initially beautiful and adorable but they eventually become beautiful and admirable after some heat processes. I am sure of one thing, the world isn't ending yet so keep staying safe and keep believing the evolution of a better tomorrow. Happy new week 🎉 © J.O AKUBO

Ñot all the challenges that comes your way are designed to break you,some are configured to make you! I recently had an experience amongst so many others that prompted this quote. It was horrible and terrifying yet i knew it was nothing compared to what someone out there may be facing and battling. I literarily felt the psychological trauma that comes with challenge, I had lost my physical strength so much that I had to struggle to get up my bed. It was in this dilemma that I got this quote and I know that it may not be for everyone but it is for you! Don't let that challenge steal your joy and kill your hope of a coming destiny. it should shapen, build capacity in you and altimately bring out the best you. I know it is not as easy as it sounds but it's as potent as described. So what should you do? Have Faith even when they is no glimpse of hope and trust that it will all turn out for your good. Just keep remembering that there is always light at the end of the tunnel. Wishing

Your value is not defined by what people think or say about you; it is defined by what you know and do with what you know about you. Everyday we come in contact with with people and situations that tries to define us as people and as a person. Unfortunately many people get to be wrongly mapped or defined by this externallies. Just for clarity sake, you are not who they say, you're not what that challenge makes you look like, you're not a failure. You're unique you're powerful you're possible and and you're a wonder. So it's time to start being you. Shake off those negative comments and situations and start shinning as the Phoenix that you are. Happy New Week 🎉 🎉!!! © J.O Akubo

A vital key to success in life is to remember that your today is a part of your story and not your story! Ok, no mixed reactions needed right now, just read up! I have been writing for quite a while and each time I write, I see words add up to make a story. I have also discovered that no single word on its own makes a story and not even the word "story". I have had to replace words overtime just to pass my message clearly and that didn't stop the words replaced from existing. Life is like a structure made up of different blocks called days, moments experiences and what have you. I believe you will agree with me that it we be so illogical to call a piece of block the structure. In the same manner you must know that it will be outrightly illogical to define your life or your story by the happenings of the moment. Yesterday and today may not have been what you wanted but they are still existing just like the words i replace while writing and it's fine. Just do well to re

It was about 10 years ago when I started hearing of vision 2020. It sounded like the last card to greatness.  Full of all the possibilities and hope the world has been craving for, it was the dream year for my little mind and I think it still is depending on you and me. News flash , 2020 started few hours ago. The weird truth is that not many people will actually get to experience what they pictured 2020 to be, why? I don’t know. I just know that there is more to life than what we can see, however the year is loaded, full of many possibilities and uncertainties. I am not ready to bore you with a long write up on this first day of the year, I will just share few thoughts that I think are vital if we must see 2020 become that year we dreamt it to be. 1.  Start now.  Don't wait till next month to start doing those things you planned for, stop procrastinating and start taking the steps now. If you can start tomorrow then you can start today. 2.  Not all closed doors are locked.  Some j
