Personal Development

God keeps records. Is it because He forgets? Certainly not. He remembers everything. So why does He still keep books? That question disrupted my disorderliness to the core. If an omniscient God keeps records, why should a fallible human like me not do the same? That realization shook me. I used to be careless; if there was a prize for neglecting important things, I would beat anyone’s hands down. Diaries? I didn’t care. But reading the Bible and seeing how seriously God treat

Have you ever felt like you’re capable of so much more, but something just holds you back? I’ve been there too. The journey to unlocking your full potential isn’t a straight path. It’s filled with twists, turns, and moments of doubt. But here’s the truth: you can achieve your full potential . It starts with the right mindset and practical strategies that you can apply every day. Ready to dive in? Let’s explore some powerful self-improvement strategies that have transformed my

No matter how much my teachers tried to explain maths, I couldn’t see anything good come out of it. I didn’t like numbers. They didn’t make any sense to me. The harder I tried, the more frustrated I became. I failed it so badly that I bundled both my maths teachers and the mathematics they taught into the category of “I don’t like them.” I didn’t know how to separate my frustration with failing mathematics from those who taught me. Sometimes we ‘hate’ people, not because th

I’ve had my fair share of rejections, so I know how much they sting. At one point, I applied to so many schools that I lost track of my login credentials. I had a diary, but I was terrible at entering information, especially under the pressure of juggling multiple applications. One after another, as though in agreement, rejection notices rolled in. In fact, some rejection notices would arrive, and I wondered when I had even applied to that school. Anyway, after some time, I c

Most arguments are mentally exhausting, emotionally draining, and spiritually depleting. Even when we "win" the argument, we often lose something far greater—connection, trust, and intimacy. We become more distant from the very people we care deeply about. It is okay to disagree. Disagreements are a natural part of any relationship. But you need to recognize when a disagreement is turning into a toxic argument, when you start focusing more on proving a point than preserving p

When we start learning something new, we often want to be great at it right away. I recall signing up for a holiday typing class. Back then, Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing  was a big deal. I was excited and determined to become a typing pro. I figured out that the best way to get there was to type as fast as possible. But I was wrong! First, I had to learn that speed can be a disadvantage. Second, I realized that speed will never make you accurate, but accuracy will help you gai

Our relationships need grace, not grudges. Yes, they may be imperfect, but they should be sincere—so be the first to forgive. However, forgiveness is not an excuse  to avoid difficult conversations, to pretend a wrong never happened, or to declare that everything is okay when it’s not. True forgiveness means refusing to let wrong define you or letting a person’s weakness control you. It’s the act of releasing someone from your personal judgment, setting yourself free from bit

Management begins from within, not with the clock. Consider a fellow who spends the entire day glued to movies. The issue here is not time management; it is self-management. Once you discover meaningful ways to grow and contribute to something greater than yourself, time begins to take on new value. However, time itself remains unchanged. What has changed is the person’s priorities. The truth is, if we spent more energy focusing on ourselves rather than on how the clock works
