                                          "There is no tomorrow, the time is now"  Imagine with me today s your last day on earth, you can think of it as your expiration date and you are laying in your bed about to take your last breath and your final thoughts are gathering as you think back to all the things that you continuously put off until tomorrow now there will be no tomorrow. how devastated and unfulfilled you would feel.  Photo by: Jason Grant  The trouble is you think you have time!                                                           - Buddha   When we look back on our lives and see the numerous times that we have canceled, put-off, or delayed something that could have been done today we risk not getting it done ever in a life time. The truth is that we are not certain of tomorrow so we must make the effort to make today count because time passes by without you even noticing.    Photo by: Jason Grant  Hold on to the time that you have now because time we spend

As a university student, I have learned this the hard way. Waking up from a four-hour sleep, immediately rushing to join a class and submit my assignment can be quite a task. Thankfully, my life coach and self-help books have thought me a few lessons on how to command my morning by putting things into place. He who fails to plan is planning to fail. -Sir Winston Churchill Photo by: Jason Grant   Commanding your morning can be simple, all you need to do is just a few things to get yourself together and be ready for a fresh day. What I normally do to start my morning is quite simple, I get up at 7:00 Am because I have the Christian faith I pray most days o begin my morning then I read

 October 13, 2021. By Jason Grant My heart feels liberated just knowing that I am  helping others. Photo credit: anonymous  How would you feel knowing that the child you just passed on the street has nothing to eat? What if you could give that child something to eat? Wouldn’t you be happy to help that child to find clothing and shelter? According to Oxford Languages, a volunteer is defined as a person who freely offers to take part in an enterprise or undertake a task. Volunteerism comes in several forms, whether you join an organization such as Rotaract club, a nonprofit organization or just simply undertaking an initiative on your own to help better the life of an individual it is considered volunteering.  If you think that what you have is too little to give or that your time won’t do much, I implore you to give what you have it really does make a difference. It is better to give of the little that you have than not to give anything at all. Even if you don’t have anything spend some

Late at night when we are left all alone with our thoughts, our minds get flooded with overwhelming thoughts and ideas that we just can't seem to find the answers to. Don't be alarmed by these thoughts. There are quite a few tips that experts and life coaches have coiled together to quiet our racing minds, especially when we can't find the answers  we need.  listed below are some tips that I have used to help:  1 . Pray to God about how you are feeling.  praying to God is at the top of the list because when we communicate with God we can speak from an honest heart. Also, there is no judgment just commune with God. Mat

DON'T HAUL YOUR LIFE TOGETHER OVER NIGHT

A lot of us can confirm this from experience because either it brought pain or some form of stress before it left.  I started out my journey of self-development a few years ago when I started watching motivational youtube videos from Les Brown, Lisa Nichols, and so many others. My self-development which is still in progress was taking longer to manifest than I wanted it to, I even gave up on myself countless times because I thought to myself "This is not going nowhere"   but when you are in divine alignment nothing or no one can stop what God has destined for you.  I can remember as far back as 2015 whe

Imagine that it is your first day at school and you are in the first-class session and the lecturer  asks you to stand to introduce yourself. What would you say?  Many people would instantly panic as they surge through their life's history to construct a speech that best represents them. Well, this is no surprise I was once like that too, not only was I like that but in a new space, I tend to be much of an introvert. Introverts are generally known to monitor their environment before they get comfortable in expressing their unfiltered self. Noone should experience panic when asked to introduce themself, because you're talking about yourself and you know more about yourself than anyone else, so you should not be scared that there might be a wrong answer.  Today I can stand w
