WALKING AWAY FROM THE SOURCE.




"When men walk away from their source, they become dry." – Apostle Solomon

Submitting yourself to a coach is one of the hardest decisions to make. It involves giving them significant control, and stepping away often results in serious harm.

God is our ultimate source. When we fail to align with His will and purpose, we open ourselves to unnecessary suffering. While some suffering is necessary for growth (Romans 5:3-4), there is a kind of suffering that is needless and can lead to misery.

The same principle applies when we subject ourselves to a coach or mentor. A coach becomes a secondary source of guidance. When you step out of their framework, you're left to navigate on your own, which can eventually leave you dry and unproductive.

It’s not a gamble; it's a certainty. Walking away from their guidance leads to stagnation. I’ve experienced this repeatedly. That’s why I caution people against committing to a coach without strong conviction, a conviction strong enough to help them follow through no matter what. Inconsistent people do not make progress!

I recall a time when my coach and I were constantly having issues. He cut me off, and I decided to go my own way. Before long, I wasn't able to put a sentence together, fell into a spiral of depression, and ultimately had to return to him.

Dearest reader, staying connected to your mentors and coaches is a privilege. Consider the even greater privilege of being connected to God and walking in alignment with Him.

Inconsistency leads to stagnation. Actions have consequences, and failing to follow through will cost you dearly. Yet, there’s always a way back.

Here’s your reminder: return(teshuva), not just to your mentors or coaches but also to God. Align with His will, and you’ll enjoy the fullness of His benefits (Isaiah 1:19).

"NOT ADMITTED"

Image
She clicks on the Whatsapp group chat,  Yet another "Congratulations, you've been admitted", with her heart heavy, she angrily leaves the group, minimize out of Whatsapp. There she is patiently waiting for chrome to load her admission status, this is the third time today she's logging into her jamb caps.  Her eyes almost eager with hope, she muttered under her breath, "God please" The network server makes matter worst by going sluggishly as she clickes "Regular admission status" she closes her eyes, hoping against hope, praying fervently, that this time it'd be different.  But it's not, because as she opens her eyes slowly, she's greeted with an arrogantly boldly written, "NOT ADMITTED", screaming at her. Suddenly the dam breaks.  Silently, tears begin to stream down her eyes, taking a rather familiar router via her chin.  The urge to throw her phone across the room intensifies, she wishes she could will her admission into exi...

TEAM WORK

Image
It can be quite frustrating when a collective effort results in only one person receiving all the praise. Even if my contribution is just 1%, it shouldn’t be overlooked. You never know how these small efforts can make a significant difference. My bubugaga is back from school, and today we did a lot of tidying up. It’s amazing how I suddenly find the energy to work when she's around, despite my usual laziness. After completing so much work, we took a break—we were honestly worn out. Fast forward to the end of the day: everyone applauded her for a job well done, as though it was solely her effort. It felt off because I felt I deserved some recognition too—it was teamwork, after all. So, the point is, you never know how hurtful it can be when someone's effort goes unacknowledged. No matter how small the contribution, appreciate it alongside the major ones. Dearest reader, do you find yourself annoyed like myself when your effort is overlooked in a team work?  @favvy_Ok...

LESS THAN ONE.

Image
There are days when my arms are too heavy to hold a pen, my brain too disorganized to put a sentence together, my thoughts an unending swirl of emotions. But then there are days—days when my smile can break through your screen, invade your life, and steal alongside your heart. Days when my excitement can be likened to that of a 2-year-old, where my inquisitiveness and curiosity know no bounds. Well, today is the latter. But like a poet I love once said, "Even if the light's turned on and my fears are not gone, I'll give it my best shot because the show must go on." So, I'd like to talk about something today: the idea of "LESS THAN ONE." But before we dive into this, allow me to tell you a story. ***** Once upon a time, I had a friend. You know that feeling of being friends with the girl every guy wants, so you get a lot of "Please help me talk to your friend"? In school, we had our lunch bought by different guys each day—one of the ...
