Dream Different Next Year
Find people who are further ahead on the same path you’re on and ask them to show you the ropes. The people around you are either letting you feel like you’re doing great in your mediocrity or inspiring you to want more. That’s your task for next year: find the right people and dream a new dream.

Affirmation vs Prayer
There’s a place for each one but they must not be confused as the same thing. Hyping yourself up cannot have the same effect as asking God to intervene. It’s the same difference between children pointing to things they want without asking properly with please and thank you. There’s an age you let it pass and an age you won’t. Doesn’t mean the child can’t do what they like, but it can determine if they will get you to oblige.

Improve Yourself To Free Yourself
No matter how well intended, nobody will give you enough knowledge to enable you challenge their control over you. Don’t celebrate crumbs when you deserve loaves of bread for the value you are bringing your said “mentors” and “superiors”. Get exposure and find your true self worth, because whether you do or you don’t, life keeps moving ahead and it is your own time being wasted.

Your Failure Is Not My Emergency
