PUSHING THE LIMIT. So last week, I trained Top Level Staff and Senior Executives of a cross-section of an organization. I was, by a long way, the youngest in the team of consultants. The UK-Based Consultant who introduced me used all of five minutes trying to sell the idea of "someone from a younger generation training you" to these big shots. It was almost hilarious to me. I didn't feel the slightest bit of trepidation. As far as I was concerned, the quality of my delivery was not dependent on how "big" the audience was. I had planned to deliver a memorable experience. And I did just that. Yet, in 2014, just four years ago, there was nothing about my dilapidated situation that showed much hope for me. I was experiencing the lowest of the lows in my life. But at some point, I had made a decision that the LIMITATIONS of my PRESENT SITUATION would never DETERMINE my ULTIMATE DESTINATION. Things were bad, yes. But I was sane enough to understand that

Welcome to " Mental health" talk with Tiana Hope you had a great day Today, we will be talking about "Letting go" Letting go means being willing to allow life to carry you to a new place, even a deeper more true rendition of self. Do not be afraid of what looks like a total destruction, nothing is meant to last. You are allowed to quit that job you hate even if the society tells you not to and you are allowed to search for something that makes you look forward to tomorrow and the rest of your life. You are allowed to do anything that brings Peace of mind, good energy to your life and wellbeing. You are allowed to forgive yourself for your biggest and smallest mistakes, and you are allowed to be kind to yourself. You are allowed to look in the mirror and actually like the person you see. You are allowed to leave someone you love if they are treating you badly, you are allowed to put yourself first if you are settling, and you are allowed to walk away when

THE OBSTACLE IN OUR PATH! Hello beautiful people.. Welcome to another great day.. As always I'll start today with a story... In ancient times, a king had his men place a boulder on a roadway. He then hid in the bushes, and watched to see if anyone would move the boulder out of the way. Some of the king’s wealthiest merchants and courtiers passed by and simply walked around it. Many people blamed the King for not keeping the roads clear, but none of them did anything about getting the stone removed. One day, a peasant came along carrying vegetables. Upon approaching the boulder, the peasant laid down his burden and tried to push the stone out of the way. After much pushing and straining, he finally managed. After the peasant went back to pick up his vegetables, he noticed a purse lying in the road where the boulder had been. The purse contained many gold coins and a note from the King explaining that the gold was for the person who removed the boulder from the road.  *Mor

ROYAL TALENT HUNT: A REVIEW Over the past few weeks, I experienced the furred thrill of seating to the entertainment of a competition which has proven to be grand stage for competitors. The theme was 'REVOLUTION'. It was the first day of the Royal Talent Hunt and the blazing lights showing their sight about to illuminate the contestants on stage as some them awaited eviction set the moment. Of more than ten of them, but definitely not more than sixteen, a measure of three were evicted, and that set the tone for the pressure that was to follow each succeeding event of this somewhat torrid affair. Every year, each new academic session, the stage is always set, to allow for an open competition for the next talented winner to emerge on a glorious platform of epiphany and symphony. Nothing moreso brings to life the event than the stage, colored in blue, red, green, indigo, yellow, all of them hazy and prepared, announcing for a performance. This year, it was quite no differ

Serena Williams Makes Stylish Return to Grand Slam Action The American great returned to Grand Slam action in many ways than one on Tuesday. Serena, who hadn't played in a Grand Slam event since January last year as a result of her pregnancy, made quite a return in her first round match against Czech's Kristyna Pliskova at the Roland-Garros in Paris. Serena purposefully donned a black Nike catsuit. *insert image* In a post on Twitter, the 23-time Grand Slam champion, said: "Catsuit anyone? For all the moms out there who had a tough recovery from pregnancy—here you go. If I can do it, so can you. Love you all!!" Serena almost died from post-pregnancy complications in September. She also said in a post match interview, "I call it my Wakanda catsuit. I feel like a warrior princess in it. It's cool! Serena, 36, registered a 7-6, 6-4 victory over Pliskova to advance to the second round. She's bidding to become only the fourth player in h

SOPHIE SPEAKS: FREELY BROKEN It showered in the wee hours of the morning and I couldn't help but reminisce on the days I cried in the rain, pouring my heart out till joy overwhelmed my soul. In light of that, I decided to share a hidden memory, one, very few persons know about but probably don't know the extent of its hurt. Four months of unending commitment. 120days of undying love amidst the pain, drama, hullabaloo. Like a dream we fell apart. What seemed like the taste of eternity now disgusted me. My joy was constantly at stake. I deliberately avoided communicating even when i had the means. For the first time in my existence i felt a sting in my heart. As to why it hurts that bad, i haven't uncovered. Could it be the foreknowing that it prolly won't amount to anything and i took the step or the peace that overwhelmed my soul when i consciously made that choice and the fact that the inner witness was a misconstrued feeling afterall. Can't decipher. In my

Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of tellrhodes gist , this is a heart felt article on the situation in my country and the world at large and am going to be speaking by talking about the song & video this is America, which after gaining a lot of attention from the media based on the deep message being passed by the video, and of which our very own Falz the bahd guy did a cover!!  My first reaction when I saw Falz's cover was like, uncle sege (as he is sometimes called) you are not a bastard its your father that born you true true, big shoutout to him.    This is not a comparism but an emphasis on the message both videos passed which I agree with most parts of, recently there has been so much violence in the world and injustice and it seems like the people who are victims are treated even worse and those who are inflicting pain are protected, all because they are the ones with the pepper(money).     Worse is that our tool, Social Media which should be a medium

THE BLAME GAME MHIZ LYNA vs AUNTY CELIBATE It's been a really crazy weekend with all the vibes and gossips. It's no longer news that the new Vocab since last week is the word CELIBACY. The case before us today is huge but first our oath of clear conscience. "I swear to talk am as e bi without any content of Brigi Brigi or mixture of kulikuli and sugar, so help me Bros J".   Well it's definitely wrong to build your futuristic "Outlook" around any social figure at all. It's absurd knowing that a lot of us actually put so much trust and belief into different personalities we find on the screen. Aunty you're angry because you had so much faith in our "NUN Linda",  what is wrong is wrong and vise versa. CELIBATELY PREGNANT LINDA It was not until I met the man I was convinced was for me that I let go. I remained CELIBATE until I met the man I was ready to love and be with. So make we clap for you bah, Aunty. I have done no wro

Hello there! I once again hope that this week just passed awesomely, well if it hasn't, another great one just rolled in and guess what, this is of course going to be great. And I will tell you why. There's an untold power in words. A creative and destructive force. The good thing is that we have a power to choose the right one we see. Words are expressions of the heart's voice. An articulation of deep thoughts and hopes. The words give affirmation to receive.. sometimes receive gifts, other times give gifts. Some gifts though unseen, are greatly noticed. Words are the only currency in reality's mark mostly because it gives first hand for a much of positivity or negativity. It is wisdom to speak positives, since it has, on the long run better men. Choose to be positive. Speak great things to today Words do volumes.. Have a week full of nice things. Join us next week Sunday on Succinct mind..you will be glad you did..

Our Voice of the week is the excellent  My name is Heavens Obule, known by friends as "Moho"    Mr Heavens has bagged a Bsc in Economics and AAT... (Associate of Accounting Technicians). His Brand Moho Stitches, is an African fashion brand that deals with all things fashion but currently we are into "Shoe making " #mohoshoes.  Fashion has been part of  our amazing face of the week since day one. I loves African prints so much, and this love gave birth to his starting an African fashion line by stylishly incorporating the African print to corporate, casual, trending and native wears.      Mr Heavens says "I am passion driven, My constant urge to bring a difference to the fashion Industry propels me to go the extra mile." and to be happy i constantly do things that would make me HAPPY. When asked about the biggest challenged he has faced on his way to becoming an achiever?? Mr Heavens said-     "Oh!  Well!  I am so glad, you regard

Honestly. I didn't leave because I found someone better or different. I believe no one is perfect 👌. You just try to be a good person for who you love. I decided to stay single not because love hurt but because love is suppose to make you grow. Make you happy even if not all the time. Love is supposed to make you fat and make you look into the future boldly. I realized I was mentally drained, I wasn't finding myself. I was losing myself by the day. A man who turned me into a nagging person.people mistake me for a sadist. I wasn't who I was. My real friends who knows me would know I love HAPPINESS. That's why I don't care what people think if it makes me happy 😊. But was it worth it? It's okay to change but not from good to worse. Everyone misjudge me. Please if you haven't healed your heart don't lead anyone on. 99% of people who died was as a result of bad relationships. Love is supposed to make you face the problems in life boldly not add stress t

Hi guys, so am back again now the main focus of this video is not necessarily about Linda Ikeji and her baby, children are gifts and we say a big welcome to that baby but its about he fact that social media is gaining a lot of grounds in Nigeria and so are celebrities and their influence via this platforms talking about instagram, twitter , blogs or more. This video is to draw the attention of youths to the fact that this people are not perfect talking about role models and mentors and we can't take their purpose and  choices and tie it solely to  the life of another and to request that our "Influencers" should be open to us and show is more than glitz and glam but also the process and the growth, they shouldn't make excuses for their mistakes rather own up and show us a better way out, love to everyone hope we get my message and no misconceptions arise!!!😘 Don't forget to subscribe  to my channel and like this video Watch the video, by clicking the link  be

HOW TO COORDINATE COLORS A beautiful morning to everyone out there, I for one have been having a fun filled week in the city of Excellence, Lagos Nigeria. Last week we started a series on color coordination, and it's an issue that we can't hurriedly exhaust, hence it's continuation this week. Color Coordination is not the sort of thing that anyone is born knowing how, Sometimes it can be difficult to know which colors you should wear with that green shirt or that blue skirt... but there are some definite rules that govern which colors look best with one another. Of course, once you know the rules you can break them, but it's good to get the basics down first. 1. Use the color wheel. All the color wheel does is tell you how best to combine colors.There are particular color combinations in the color wheel that are really appealing to the eye, called color harmonies. When a color is tinted that means that it's getting lighter (has white added to it) and whe

JUST THINKING ALOUD This life can be so funny but wait let me be more specific. We human beings can be so funny and if I may add very unpredictable. You suddenly turned a poet at the news of his death, updating condolence post on the media. I never knew you could use words so nicely, but when he was alive you couldn't even recognize him for who he was but now you come on his timeline and say "R. I. P young blood, such a promising fellow with great potentials". Okay, I get it, it's either you saw him as an opposition too much for you to handle or you just couldn't beat his awesomeness. Now he is dead, what effect has your nice words to him now. I don't intend to talk too much but this life is just too crude to be used as a yardstick to measure worth, love and relationships. Let's learn to celebrate people while they are alive, compliment people, let them know how you love them and believe in them. Answer people when they call your phone and if
