Yesterday I was thinking about why I look to Jesus for healing. I wondered why I didn't focus on health instead, which is preemptive and a sign of abundant life.

I began to look for scriptures on health and found a few that piqued my interest:

Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John 1:2 NKJV

A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones. Proverbs 17:22 NKJV

Pleasant words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the bones. Proverbs 16:24 NKJV

Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but when the desire comes, it is a tree of life. Proverbs 13:12 NKJV

Therefore, remove sorrow and anger from your heart and put away pain from your body, for childhood and the prime of life are fleeting.
Ecclesiastes 11:10 AMP

It would appear that just like good diet, exercise and sleep are advantageous to health, good emotions are too. Emotions like happiness, cheer, even temper and hope. It would also seem that laughter, accomplishment, progress and pleasant words produce these emotions.

I think that in order to preserve and enhance my health, I need to spend more time in conversation. I ought to follow more Instagram comedians and have at least one belly laugh a day. I could watch light-hearted movies and read beautiful, soul stirring words daily.

As a matter of priority, I should limit news and negativity especially from social media.

I need good health. It's time to focus on what preserves me and not what kills me.

Yesterday, I contemplated life. I thought about how we make plans and wait for the stars to align before finally living. I thought about how we rarely enjoy the fruits of our labour because we learnt to manage while coming up. 🧵

Moving from a scarcity to a prosperity mindset is difficult. It's why we keep reserving things for visitors and keep waiting for vacations before resting. It's why we accept less than ideal love and learn to compromise the sacred.

So, yesterday I decided to do something about the restlessness in my spirit. Something symbolic.

This is my pool. Someone had the "smart" idea to make the shallow end 5' 5". For comparison, I'm 5' 10". So, after two steps, my head goes under water. The pool is obviously not for children. 🧵

The problem with the depth is that until recently, I was terrified of water. And with this pool, I can't get tired halfway and stand up. I must make it to either end or side to reach safety.

I learnt to swim to survive. I love traveling and for island destinations, I needed to know my way around water. I swam to enhance my travel experience and to not die on vacation. This year, I finally chose to face my trepidation around water.

There are many admin and operations tasks that go into running a business. Though repetitive and tedious, they are the life blood of any company. 🧵

These tasks determine whether customers are attended to on time, products are launched successfully and payments are received as at when due.

That is why your organisation's Admin Department/Function needs a tracker. It can be a simple shared Google sheet or a software.

Behaviours change and one habit replaces another. 🧵

I never used to like hot food. Especially when hungry. It was scalding and required patience to wait for the food to cool down first before taking a bite. But that soon changed.

When I had a 9 to 5, I would take a packed lunch from home. The office staff would then microwave and plate it at lunchtime. They had a predilection for very hot food and so my meal would arrive with steam spewing from it. After a while, I stopped complaining and got used to it.

THE TEN STRUGGLES OF THE RICH | If you are a High Networth Individual living in Nigeria, then this post is for you. 🧵

I have noticed ten main causes of unhappiness among the rich in this part of the world. Particularly those who earned their status legitimately through hard work.

1. You will often have money and not find what to buy. This is a real struggle if you have taste. You will discover that the most basic standards of quality, thinking and service are absent here. Where present, they are rare and often hoarded by closed networks.

It's one thing to not evolve. We all struggle with evolution, reinvention and growth. But it's quite another thing to not even be aware that the world has left you behind. That's the real sorrow. 🧵

Oftentimes, you fail to notice because of rigidity, pride and an insistence on doing things as you've always done them.

But how you will know something is wrong is that those methods fail to produce previous results. People stop coming to you for the things they once used to.
