Be A Solution-Oriented Individual
Have you ever wondered what the world would be like if there was never any challenge on earth? If everything you ever wanted is the way it is, then none of us would actually ever become rich or successful, because you would have to ask yourself, rich or successful in what? Everyone would have all they ever wanted. As such, it means that things sometimes are not in place so that someone comes along and fixes it. Someone comes along and creates a purposeful solution to that problem.

So as much as we try to blame problems for a lot of the situations on earth, we must also take a step back and realize that it is the problem of the world that has indeed made some people successful and the only way that happened was because they proffered a solution to a problem and until you begin to think of solving problems, the path to success might forever remain a mirage. So to you out there who feels and believes they are surrounded by problems, realize that it might be the pathway to your success.

Well, no one wants problems, but your attitude towards the problem is all that matters. So seek to become a person who sees a problem only with the mindset to fix the problem and never complain about it. Yes, it is human nature to complain, but after complaining for a while, we dust ourselves up and get back to the mindset of fixing the problem, to the mindset that believes that the problem is simply a pathway to the solution.

Until we begin to think that problems have solutions and that the solution would not fall into our laps, we have to go out there and work for it, until then would our problems begin to bow and flee. So many things look like the norm today and we feel like we might not be able to change it, imagine sometime ago, the slave trade in some parts of the world was like a norm, but today no one dares starts that without the fear of being arrested soon.

So it is important to realize that just because society does not seek to solve a problem does not mean that we also have to follow and be mute, realize that in solving our problems can we become better versions of ourselves. And seeking solutions does not have to be in the very big things, it starts with the very little things we underestimate. From ourselves. What problem do you think you are currently facing and would like to overcome? Begin with a solution based mindset and keep going from there.

In the end, it matters that we realize that problems are there for a reason, to be solved. Problems are not there to become the status quo. They are there to be solved and then move on to a bigger problem. So realize that in solving a problem, you do not always become problem free, you sometimes simply elevate to a better problem. So take your time today and begin to live with a solution-focused mindset. Thanks and God Bless

Listen More
If there is anything I have learned more than anything, it is to listen more than I speak. Well, a few friends might disagree with this, but trust me, I have improved. Looking back at my time as a kid, I always wondered why the big difference between good parents and somewhat not very good parents and one of the things I realize is that good parents listen more than anything.

Yes, parents explain that they have more experience than the kids and so the kids should simply shut up and listen. In some cases, experience pays, but in other cases, it simply holds us back in the past and would keep us there if we let it. To experience something in the past is not a guarantee that it would happen again in the future and as such, the most important thing to take away from our experiences should be the life lessons and these lessons are not meant to keep us in the past.

While speaking makes you iterate what you know, listening is a way to learn something new and if by the end of every day, you have not learned anything new, you definitely need to look again at how you spend your time. Learning is the only way we become better versions of ourselves and how can we learn if we do not listen. To believe that knowledge is achieved only through position and age is a wrong notion and as such, we should realize that we can learn from anyone of any age and any position, so when anyone seeks to speak, let us give them that space to speak so that we can at least learn something new.

In listening more than we speak, it is not only about keeping quiet and not giving in any input, it is about paying close attention to everyone around you because silence is itself a form of communication and you can only understand what the message is if you listen. Listening is something we should do more in every area of our lives.

Relationships can be much better if we could only listen to what our spouse or our kids have to say. For a second, keep calm and simply listen. In organizations, it is important that management not only see numbers and results, organizations need to do more in listening to what everyone in the organization has to say. How can we lead when no one listens to understand? It is important that we seek to create a communication path for everyone around us. It is important to realize that without communicating, we would not have goals achieved and without achieving goals, life would indeed be meaningless and the simplest way to communicate is to listen.

Listening is very difficult especially when you are in the higher position like a parent or the boss and you would have to listen to what everyone below you has to say. But only when you listen can you emerge a better and a more people-oriented leader. Can anyone lead if he does not understand the needs of the people? And how can you understand the need if you do not listen?

So start today. Let the other person speak, listen carefully, listen for the details, do not listen only to speak, but listen to gain and derive knowledge from the other person. And that is the way to create a better and a just environment. Only then can we indeed achieve better love and relationship. So listen more today. Listen to your friends, your children, your parents, your employees and most importantly to people around you, take time to listen. Thanks and God Bless.

Smile Always
We wish things fall into place all the time, but sometimes, they do not fall into place and all you wish you could do is to give up and cry. You believe you gave it your all but somehow, it still did not work out. Know that these situations would not be uncommon in your life as long as you strive beyond your comfort zone. You are not familiar with the way things are, so you sometimes make mistakes.

Know that it is okay to sometimes make mistakes. You cannot undo the mistakes so all you can do is to learn from it, smile that life has decided to grace you with its lessons. You know that if you learn the lesson well, you would come out on the other side a better student and you would be grateful for it.

So while you are learning the lessons of life, give back by smiling. Realize that you can only become better if you learn the lessons involved. So do not despair, smile always, smile often and know that it could have been worse. If things are not worse than they are, smile, learn the lessons and keep pushing forward. Your smile not only helps you, it helps others around you.

Realize how life would feel if you take its lessons with gratitude rather than complain about the lessons. The most important thing to know is that life lessons would always make us stronger if we are calm and patient, learning every single trick and lesson that we can learn.

Never give in, never give up, smile today, and know that it would be better in the end. If you are not smiling, it is not yet over. Let smile change your orientation about life, see life in a much better way. Smile not only at yourself, but smile to friends and family. It helps raise their spirit and with that, you have helped another person.

Helping people is not always in the very big things. Sometimes, it is in the small things like smiling at our colleagues, family, and friends. They are part of what makes the big things count. Smile at your children, your wife, your spouse, and everyone around you. In whatever situation, smile and know that you would become better if you persevere and learn. Smile, learn and keep going. That should be our mantra. Thanks and God Bless.

Have Faith
I want to tell you a story of two men on a boat. While traveling on the boat, one of the men started destroying a part of the boat. The common sense mentality is the man trying to destroy the boat must be a wicked person. Well, I sound as if he is not a wicked person, but what other explanation do I have to support a person who destroys a part of a boat while the boat is in motion?

So many times in life, things happen that we simply cannot see beyond the normal human imagination of how things are. We cannot see any further. And in these cases, what I always say to everyone is make your intentions clean and keep going. God is with you on your journey. And if you believe that and continue to do the best that you can do, in the end, it always happens. The best always happens.

So back to the story. Still wondering why the man was destroying the boat? It so happened that the town they were headed has a king who is seizing all boats that look good and nice. If the boat reaches that town still looking good, the king would seize it and the owners of the boat would not have any more means of livelihood. But if the boat is destroyed, the king would not fancy such a boat and the poor owners of the boat would still keep their boat and probably repair it for a few bucks. Fewer than how much they would need to get a completely new boat.

This same incidence sometimes happens in our lives when things happen that logically appear to be bad, but in the end, turns out to be the best thing to have ever happened to us. So whatever you are going through today, the most important thing you can do is to have faith. Faith in God that there is a grand design in whatever is happening, that what is yours would never pass you by and what has passed you was never meant for you.

Having this mindset makes us realize that we should give in our best every day, but never expect that it is our best that brings greatness. NO. It is by the will of God. Man proposes and God disposes. So when you have given the best that you can and things do not still fall in place as you expected, never give up. Keep going and keep pushing because you might not currently understand the plan, in the end, you would understand the plan and you would be grateful for it.

Look back at some of the accomplishments you have and see how they came to happen. Some came logically but some others came through ways you never imagined. So never give up and never let the situation of things dampen your love. God is in control, all you have to do is to trust Him and do the best that you can. With God, all things are possible. Be hopeful.

Thanks and God Bless

Put God First And You Would Meet God First
So many uncertainties in life make us want to seek the path that we are most sure of. As such, we take the path least painful to get what we need or we simply take the path that gives the highest level of reward. But sometimes, we need to be comfortable in the uncertainty. But to be comfortable in the uncertainties of life is to have something greater than the uncertainties to depend on. And that is God. No matter what situation you find yourself, make God the reason why you do everything you do.

Sometimes, you do not see any clear reason why you should. But sometimes, dealing with God involves believing even there is no physical evidence to support what you want to do. Realize that whatever we do on Earth, there is God watching over us all and He alone can make things better than they are even if we do not understand. For God, you do not need to understand the plan, you simply have to believe.

And to enjoy that relationship with God, you have to give in 100% in your trust and your relationship. No one leg in and the other out. All legs are in. That is how you seek God. So whatever situation you might be facing or going through now, realize that only God can make the situation better. Even if the situation is better, only God can create the best situation. But believing in God goes beyond simply seeking without putting in the effort, believing in God is about putting all the effort you believe that you can, but also knowing that the final solution is from God.

So as you start your day today, seek God in everything that you do. It might be as simple as going to the gym or going to see your friends. Seek God to always be a part of your journey. Things might not be as you want them, but never stop seeking God. He is with us all. He never forsakes us so we should seek Him.

We might want to rely on our own powers but would it not be best to rely on the power of He who created us? So live life knowing that God is in control, do and be the best that you can be, but never give in. Keep going. It might not look as nice as you planned, but only God can change things for the better. So seek him. Thanks and God Bless.

On Becoming A Better Version Of Yourself
What exactly does it mean for one to become better? To answer this, I started by seeking out the definition of better and here it goes

To improve on or surpass (an existing or previous level or achievement)

And for us to surpass our existing levels of achievements, sometimes all we need to do is to look at what is stopping us from achieving our goals. It is in identifying what is stopping you that sometimes serve as a path to surpassing your current achievement. So to begin becoming better, you have to ask yourself what exactly is limiting you and what are your fears?

Limits are indeed the limits we set for ourselves for indeed what the heart can conceive is always possible in that realm. So make it possible here. Nothing ever really is impossible, you simply do not just have what it takes to achieve it. And before you move forward, you need to know what is holding you back and some of the things that are truly holding you back are things you can break out of.

To become better, what are the top 10 things you have been most afraid of doing in a very long time. Start from the smallest and in striking out what you are afraid of, you get new energy and boost to move onto some other things you felt were impossible. To begin to achieve our goals, realizing what your limits are and breaking them is one of the best ways to go.

Some people achieve their goals by doing new tasks. But sometimes, all you need is to realize what those tasks that are keeping you back are, then stop them. If you believe you cannot do something, it sometimes hold other parts of your life in ransom and until you are able to break that thing, you might not be able to begin to achieve fulfilment in other areas of your life.

So in becoming a better version of ourselves, our limits are the first things we should do away with. Whatever we believe we can or we cannot, we are absolutely correct, Henry Ford said and would you not like to be correct on the things that improve your life. So listen, what is stopping you is the passport to your achievement, and until you stop what is stopping you, you would be stopped.

So start today by analyzing some of the things you have told yourself are not possible and begin to break them. Breaking them leads to breaking some other goals and breaking those other goals lead to more goals until you have completely achieved whatever it is you set your mind on. And to start sometimes, removing your limits is not always about doing new things, it is also in stopping some of the things that you do that limits you. You can begin with that.

We all want to become better every day and some of the things stopping us are the beliefs we have continuously create for ourselves. You are better than what you think and you can be much better. So go out there and become that better version of yourself. It starts with you. Seek God and keep going. Thanks and God Bless.

best thread ever bro .nice job

Start A Gratitude Journal
Count your blessings one by one and you would never be able to name them all. This might sound impossible to think but start and realize how many things you have in your life that you should indeed be grateful for. I started a gratitude journal a while back and what I usually thought of writing in my journal every day were the nice things that happened to me at the end of the day. But a gratitude journal is much more than that.

A gratitude journal makes you clearly see your blessings rather than simply ignoring them and while seeing your blessings, you learn to appreciate the great things of life many more people are seeking but you currently have. But sometimes, we also need to be grateful for the things that did not also go as planned because it could have been worse. Way worse than you could have ever imagined.

So starting a gratitude journal is not only about enumerating all those things that made you laugh but also those things that could have been worse. Appreciate God for every single thing that you have. Some things you consider issues are keeping the really big issues away. So be happy about how life is and keep pushing every day to become more grateful.

It is important that we all start a way to be grateful every day. For some of us, it is by writing what we are grateful for every day and for some of us, it is by setting an alarm every day at a certain time to be grateful for something. Whichever way you decide to go is fine, start a journal and be grateful. Being grateful not only makes you happy but also lets you understand how fortunate you are no matter your situation. It reminds us that it could have been worse.

For many of us reading this article, we should be grateful for having access to the internet with a mobile device or a laptop to read this. How many more people have no access to electricity talk more of having internet? In being grateful, we see life for what it truly is, that everything that happens is for a reason and that the dots always connect no matter how everything looks.

By being grateful, we allow ourselves to be in charge of our emotions and reactions to the events of life. Rather than being angry and annoyed, we are grateful that whatever situation we are in could have been a lot worse than it is. So be grateful every day and start a gratitude journal. In the end, you would be happy you did. Thanks and God Bless.

Everything Happens For A Reason, Find It
When things around us are going our way, we are happy, but when things are not going as planned, we are not happy. But do you know that everything whether good or bad happens for a reason and what you need to do is to find that reason? So many a times, we think things just happen, but when you look closer, there is a hidden reason why what happened did happen and in finding the reason, you realize that not everything that happens to you is out there to harm you.

When you hear the story of successful people, you become more impressed by their lives after understanding how many failures they had to endure and it always seems like a repeating pattern in the lives of successful people. They do not get it right all the time and it seems like the times they did not win was preparing them for the time they became successful. Something about those moments when they failed has made them a much better version of themselves than they would have been if they simply had the success without the failures.

Failures are what makes success a lot more fun. So the more challenges you face, the more you become prepared for the bigger challenges ahead. And in preparing for the challenges ahead, you need to understand that nothing is really ever random and what is happening today is for a certain reason. You might not know what the reasons are, but you would do yourself well if you learned by being patient and following through on the challenges.

Not every success should come from a failure and as such, even in our success, we have great lessons to learn from that. Lessons come in different ways and patterns and we should always realize that everything is for a reason and even though we cannot clearly see it, it is there. Realize that your lack of understanding of an area is not the absence of knowledge in that area, but your lack of awareness of that knowledge. So for everything you do not understand, the reason is out there.

Most importantly, you have to live life with the belief that something is happening that you fully cannot understand and when things are good or bad, believe that God has a greater plan and always be patient and happy with life. In the end, all the dots connect and we understand why everything happened. That delay might be saving you from something more difficult and the presence of that person or thing in your life might be showing you that the time to smile and love that person is now. They may not be around much longer.

Thanks and God Bless.

The Time Is Now
The future is tomorrow but we sometimes forget that tomorrow is already here and we are all leaving in the tomorrows of our yesterdays. So whatever it is you planned to do tomorrow, tomorrow is here already and what you need to do is to make the best of the time you have now. The only moment better than now is yesterday, and you cannot have it back, can you?

As long as we cannot have our yesterdays back, all we can do is to do the best that we can with all that we have now. Realize some of the things you wanted to start a few years back and see how many years have gone by and you are still yet to start on your dream. Remember that the only thing that keeps changing is time and you can never have it back once it is gone. So forget all the mistakes you have designed to hold you back and simply get out there and make the best for yourself. You can indeed start whatever you planned to do before today. Right now.

In the end, the only thing that would be left are the regrets that you wish you did that thing. But now guarantees that you do not have any regrets. Make do of what you have at the moment and go for what you have always told yourself you would get for yourself. Whatever it is, give it a try today. You can never become better until you begin to try out those things you are not comfortable doing. In sticking to things that make you comfortable, you remain in the same space and the same life, but trying out new things is the only way you can get yourself where you hope to be.

Remember, comfort does not make you grow. It is in the pursuit of new challenges and opportunities that your greatest chance of becoming that being you have always been dreaming of. Dreams are good because they bring our thoughts into the theatre of our mind, making us the same audience and the viewers, but only actions can make us the implementers of our dream. No one can see your dream if you do not start something and there is no better time to start something than to start today. Keep going and keep pushing.

You can have what you dream of if you can give in what is required. For what is required, you have to start now. There is no guarantee it would be easy, but in the end, you would have traveled into a situation that has modified your mind and your spirit and at that stage, you would love yourself better because you are now a better person. Stay blessed and keep going. Now is the time. Thanks and God Bless.

Seek God Always
In the hassle of our every day lives, we sometimes forget what is most important. The activities of every day take over our thinking and mindset and we forget what is most important. Realize today that the most important thing in our lives is God. No matter what you believe, God is there and is always ready to help whenever we reach out to Him. It is important to seek God always and not to wait until we are in a certain condition before we seek God.

As we set time aside to relax and exercise, it is important to also set time aside to know God. This is beyond the normal routine we have every day. It goes beyond that. We need to always realize that God is indeed in control of our affairs. A lot of people realize and know God when in dire situations, but we should always seek to know Him before we have circumstances we cannot overturn. In life, it is important to always have God.

No matter what you believe, sometimes our efforts are never enough. We need help. You can call it luck, but just know that it is God. We need God in every situation. So as you start your day today, remember not to forget that in every situation, place God in it. Seek God in all your actions and your activities and you would find Him. When you focus on God, God focuses back on you and then focuses on you, everything would be alright.

Realize that if everyone on earth was to gather to give you something God never willed for you, it would not happen. And if everyone is against you and God is for you, then you already have everything you need. Never forget that God is the most important element in your life and until you have Him, you can have something, but you would have much more if you have God.

Having God transcends simply staying in religious homes all day, it is in incorporating God into every single thing you do. Put Him in your choices, in your decisions, and in everything. When you put God in the small things, the small things become the big things and God is simply there with you all the way. Make your reason for doing everything God and you would never regret a day in your life.

Things might not look as clear as you want them when you seek God, you would have to simply believe and continue to know that God’s plan exceeds your plan, and you would have to keep believing and keep going. Seeking God means that believing that God would make it happen even when it does not appear possible. But the first thing in seeking God is that you have to put in the work. Put in the work, then seek God. It would make sense in the end.

And remember, if it does not still make sense, then it is not the end. Thanks and God Bless.

Think Well Of Others
Make it a point to every day think well of others. Sometimes, things look so apparent that we think the other person is wrong. Remember when was the last time you tried to initiate a conversation with a friend and the friend did not respond. You assumed they were ignoring you only to later realize that they were listening to something else the whole time you were talking and they did not hear anything you said.

Well, it might not be the same exact case as yours, but one thing is for you. Think well of others and it would come back to you. In cases when you do not understand a conversation, take time to make clarifications. And when you assume something about others, assume the best. Assuming the best about others sets our mind at rest. We believe that we are all humans and can definitely make mistakes.

When people make mistakes, do not label them as that mistake. Realize that humans are humans and we will always make mistakes. Seek to understand the other person’s perspective and in the end, you realize everyone was doing it for a good reason. Because in the end, man does everything he does for a certain good reason, find that and make sure the other person’s reason would make everyone happy in the end.

So as you start your day today interacting with people, give people the benefit of the doubt and realize that mistakes are inevitable and we only become better when we make and correct them. We do not become better by not making mistakes, we get better by realizing the mistakes and taking steps to correct them. Making mistakes might be synonymous with not trying something new. You simply have been living in your pigeon hole of comfort and remember that success is on the other side of the comfort zone.

We will all make mistakes. That is inevitable, so make them as fast as you can, and also learn from them as fast as you can. The lessons are more important than the mistakes. When you learn from your mistakes, you become a better person that you were when you made the mistake. So start now, see others as humans who can make mistakes and learn to think well of everyone. Our future together depends on us living together. So think well of everyone you meet today. Thanks and God bless.

Set Out Small Time Daily
For anything you want to achieve, it takes time to be successful. But sometimes, we underestimate how much we can achieve in a day and overvalue what we can achieve in a year. We feel like spending just a few minutes every day is not as productive as spending the entire whole day working on a problem and what we tend to do is to keep searching for that full day every day until we do not have a day to execute that task.

But what if you simply spend just a few minutes every day on a simple problem you have been working on? If you spend just 1 hour every day on a task, in a month, you would have spent 30 hours working on that problem. Spending 30 hours on a problem seems like spending the entire day, no sleeping, eating or doing anything beyond just that one activity.

And one of the reasons why we do not see the small times is because time flies and we sometimes do not realize how much time in the day we have spent. So to set out small-time daily, you also need to hold yourself accountable every day. Have a journal and write when you achieve your daily activity and mark yourself wrong on a day when you do not follow up.

At the end of the month, you would be surprised at how much hours you have spent. So start now and start today, set out small-time every day to work on something that has been pushing you. You can do this.

Thanks and God Bless

Would It Matter Ten Years From Now?
In the present, we want to have all that we want. But sometimes, some of the things we want might look good for the present but would never have a good impact on our future. Due to this, I sometimes ask myself this question before embarking on any activity, “Would It Matter Ten Years from now?”. And I would like to ask you the same question today.

If that idea you have been thinking of developing never comes into life, what would happen 10 years from now? Would you look back at your life and wish you did move the idea into execution or would you be happy you never did? The answer is yours to answer. For that partner you always wanted to ask for their hands in marriage, would you feel comfortable 10 years from now that you never asked them? Whatever it is you are doing, thinking of doing or hoping to do one day, always ask yourself the question of how important the activity is 10 years from now.

So many atimes, we are too focused on what the present looks like that we never take any action. Realize that you would never remain the same person if you take that bold step and move into doing rather than thinking of doing. Realize that on your death bed, it would never matter. The things you did and you are happy about are the things you would most likely remember and those things you wish you did that you never had time for. Those are all that you would remember.

So decide, which one do you want to have the most? Regrets or good memories. The choice is yours. Start making the wise ones today. Sometimes we focus too much on the present that the future we hope for slips away and sometimes we also focus too much on the future that we never really enjoy what we have. So be careful in using this question. It is important to ask the really important questions that put your entire life in perspective, but you also need to have time to enjoy the present.

So while thinking about the future, think about the present so that you become a person with a balanced life. You neither think too much of the future that you forget what you currently have and you do not think too much of the present that it takes the future away from you. So realize the need to balance and keep improving everyday.

Life is both short and long. It is your perspective that determines which one you fall under. So enjoy life to its best by understanding that the future is important in our thoughts and we should ensure that the present does not run by while we think of the future. Take care of both the present and the future. Have a blessed day.

Keep Going, The Goal is Ahead
Looking back at your life 5 to 10 years ago, you realize some seemingly small events that have turned out to shape your life into who you are now. Some of these events you would never want to exchange for anything since it made you a better version of yourself. And one more thing, some of these events you never really enjoyed while they were happening.

This is same to some of the events that are currently happening in our lives. We do not understand why they are happening and we sometimes wish things were different, but it is these activities that would in the end have had the most important impact in our lives. So no matter what you are going through, realize that we cannot connect the dots of our lives looking forward and no matter how much we have our lives planned, the plan can only make sense when we look back at how it all happened.

So while you are still on the journey, keep going. Understand that whatever is happening is for a reason and the only way you can find out is if you never give up on your dream of becoming that version of yourself. You do not have to achieve your goals in one way, many more ways abound. So keep trying and keep pusing. No one but you can decide if the end point is here or not. As you keep going in life, things happen that you wish never happened, but if you let that event stop you, you would never know what lies ahead for you.

So never let fear, thought of what others would say stop you from giving in your all to all that you do everyday. It is important that you realize that it is not compulsory that you know the complete goal now, all you need is the belief that things would go as you want if you keep pushing. You do not need to keep pushing on one thing, remember that. A lot of ways are possible. And when everyone tells you that it is not possible, know within yourself that at that point, you have the option to be just like others or let that be your opportunity to change history.

Realize that whether you try or not, time would go by. Time never waits for no one. Realize that your life keeps moving so all you have to do is to make every minute count by never backing down from the issues of life. No one promised you that the journey would be cool, so why expect the journey to be cool. Understand that the struggle you are going through is the currency you have to pay before you become that person you want to be.

While on your path to becoming that person, never forget to take care of yourself, your health and your family. This is very important. Take care and God bless.

How To Become A Software Developer - Part 1
Things happen in life that we sometimes cannot explain looking forward, but looking back, we can be able to put the pieces together and make sense of it. Due to this, I would like to share based on my personal experience on how I believe anyone who wants to be a Software Developer can proceed.

First and foremost is to have a clear and ambitious reason for why you want to be a software developer. Clear and ambitious are quite subjective so everyone does not have to agree with your ideas, but ensure that your reasons are strong enough. Anyone might ask why this should be the first thing to begin with.

Well, I have seen quite a number of people who have stopped programming simply because they had or felt that it was too hard to continue, but if you have a strong why, it is easier to keep pushing than simply give up when you face an obstacle. As such, the first thing you need is a strong reason. Some reasons I have found quite discouraging are “I want to become a developer to make money or I want to be a developer to create apps”. Well, are all developers not working for this reason you might ask? Well, quite a lot of successful developers simply have all these as an output of what they have done, not this being their main focus.

Google did not start out thinking let’s make a lot of money. No, let’s connect the world with the information they need and in the best way possible was the dream and now, the money and everything they have is an output of that goal. And also about developing apps, you are not only developing apps, make sure you are solving a problem. It is better to have an app that solves people’s problems than an app that simply is on the store with no real value. Remember, it is better to have a simple app that solves people’s problems than a complex app that helps no one.

Once we have our reason in check, the next most important thing I believe you should do is to research on the language you want to learn. Yes, you want to be a master of all programming languages and that is fine, but first, you need to start somewhere. Take a week or two to consider what the internet is saying about all the programming languages and the languages suited to go along with your reason for programming. If you want to be a data scientist, Python or R might be your language, if you want to develop web apps, Javascript might be your language, if you want to develop mobile apps, Java might be your language.

Whatever area you want to focus on, take some time to understand why the language you want to choose suites you. This stage is also important because too many times, people choose languages and keep on switching once they hear about a new flavoured language that seems to solve all their problems. They switch to the language and sooner or later realize they want another language. Also when you speak to friends, you want to have a strong reason why you chose your language so anyone does not easily convince you to change the language of your choice without any fundamental reason. So take your time and see what the world says about the language. Take your time on this step as it would determine to a large extent your future as a programmer.

Thanks and God Blesss. Watch out for part 2.

Another Opportunity At Life, Grab It
Have you ever wondered what happens to the goals, ideas and ambitions of people when they die? The goals and ambitions for that person also dies. The rest that is left is the impact of what they have been able to do, nothing more, nothing less. As such, this is a great lesson for us who are still here on earth to ask ourselves what we are doing with our goals and ambitions everyday. Are we still telling ourselves that we have more time or that the time is not right?

Look here, the time might never be right and sometimes you are just not looking which is why you are not seeing that indeed the right time is now. Whatever category you fall into, realize that today is another opportunity to right the wrongs of yesterday and achieve the goals you have long waited for. Because if you do not achieve your goals, in the end, they would just be ideas. Ideas no one ever used.

So understand that reading this today means that you have another opportunity at life to become much better and pursue your goals and dreams. Challenges would come, you bet. But the most important thing to remember is that only the ones who try truly know if they could have won or not. If you never try, you never know. Whatever is holding you back would not be enough excuse on your deathbed. So go out now and make today count.

Realize that you just have to take it a day at a time, let every single day count and in the end, your life would have meant something not only to the people around you, but to yourself. It seems as if our bodies have been made to realize its maximum potential, so when you not push the boundaries, you are under utilizing your system and in that case, you would have no one to blame but you. But know that blame helps no one, it simply moves the problem around, it does not fix it.

So start today to see every moment you have as an opportunity to make something that would be useful not only to you but to the people around you. In the end, our most impact is the impact we have on the people around us. So keep pushing, keep going, know that you can beat the odds and come out the other side successful. How did I know that? Because well, no one truly knows. So start now and keep pushing.

See today as an opportunity to try it all out. Keep the fears aside, everyone is afraid of one thing or the other. Know that bravery is not the absence of fear, it is in controlling the fear when we are most afraid. That is bravery. So never let anything stop you from achieving your dream. Not the community, not the system, not even you. Keep going and keep pushing.

The opportunity to make it happen is here. Grab it and make the best of it. The world awaits your victory. Thanks and God Bless.

How To Become A Software Developer — Part 2
After having your why and a language to back it up, the next step is to seek ways to learn that language. Sometimes, people learn too much theory that they are not able to develop any practical application and sometimes some people dwell too much on the practical aspect that they do not understand why they do what they do. So you need to strike a balance between understanding the theory and the practicals of what you are reading.

To begin to learn a language, make sure to have researched the best resources to learn that language with, then set a project in mind you want to accomplish. This is necessary so that you do not focus solely on learning the theory without practicalizing. As you learn, you apply what you have learned on your practical project. This would ensure that you not only read, but you are also applying what you have read.

Moving forward, as much as you would like to accomplish this goal, some issues in life come up that make us move away from what we originally planned for our lives and as such, it is always important to track our progress over a period of time. And one of the best ways I have found towards achieving this goal is by developing an OKR.

An OKR is an Objective and Key Results Framework where you state your WHATs and your HOWs. It enables you to clearly define what you want to achieve and over what period of time you want to achieve it so that you can always assess yourself if you are on track. This article does not go too detailed about an OKR so you can check for more information on the Internet on how to develop an OKR.

After understanding your WHY, knowing what language to learn, and choosing a way to learn and practice what you have learned. The next thing you need is to develop some personal habits that would keep you going no matter how tough the battle gets. Sometimes you would look at your code and see no error while your computer keeps screaming it has found an error. During those times, you need to know that you are not alone. You would need to have the qualities of passion, patience, and perseverance towards ensuring that you make it work.

And while you try and it does not work, do what I call changing perspective. When you are on something for the past few hours, do yourself a favour and switch it off. Move on to something entirely different. While on the other things, you mind processes this problem in the background so that when you get back to solving it, it becomes a bit less difficult than when it was before.

Also never forget to have friends and join programming communities that would push you forward. The journey can be won alone but it would be more interesting if you have people around who you share your problems with. But take some time to make sure you work on the problem before consulting others. Because one day, you might be the only one who knows how to fix it, so learn how to be able to work with seeking too much guidance.

And finally share what you know with the world. No matter how simple what you think you know, it might save someone elsewhere. So take your time and teach the next person. Make a small video, write an article, organize a meeting with friends, and try any other way possible. Teach as many people as you can, it simply makes you a better learn.

In the end, becoming a programmer is not a one way trip and many people have taken different paths to the same destination. For me, this is the path I wish I learned earlier and I hope it helps somebody today.

Thanks and God Bless.

Be That Friend
Every day, we seek to find friends and partners who would really like us as friends and would help in any way they can to make us better. Everyone seeks this whether you realize it or not. However, as some of us would realize, it is sometimes very difficult to find. But one thing I have realized is that never ask someone else to be that type of friend, you be that type of friend.

When you seek and you not find, be that thing. As much as we keep complaining that good friends are rare, have you ever considered asking yourself if you are a good friend? Good friends help us grow, and no matter how much we want to win the battle alone, it is sometimes necessary to have people by our side who can help us from time to time.

They say if you want to go fast, go alone but if you want to go further, seek friends and partners. It is important to realize even if the environment does not have the type of friends we seek, we should ourselves be that kind of friend because in the end, we ourselves are the system and the environment. And when the environment is bad, it simply says something about us. So I ask you today, what type of a friend are you?

Are you the type that helps your friends grow? Do you seek to make others better than you met them? What exact type of a friend are you? Until you are able to define what type of a friend you are, it might be difficult to say that you do not find the type of friends that you seek. Because when you define the type of friend you are, that would define the type of people you work with, and if the type of people you work with does not match the type of friend that you say that you are, then there is a problem.

We can continue to blame and say that others have not been good to us, but have we been good to them? What have you done that warrants the other person to consider you their best friend. Everyone wants a person who can help them become better, not a person who would take away the little that is left. Whatever type of friend you are, realize today that you can be much better, and better than what the society thinks you can be.

You can be that friend everyone wants to be like, and if people around you do not see you as that person, then that is their fault and their problem. Realize that not everyone has to like your personality because in wanting everyone to like us, there in lies another problem. Seek to be a good person and keep getting better everyday. Everyone of us can be better.

And when you cannot find friends who can help, be that friend to your other friends and ensure that you do the best that you can to help others become better. Do not ask what your friends can do for you, ask what you can do for your friends. We all need to start now. Thanks and God Bless.

Why The Right Time Is Now
So many times we postpone what we want to do simply because we believe the time is not right. For some people, the time is not right, but for other people, there could be no better time than now. And in fact, most of the time, we simply are the ones running away from the right time. There is a saying that the best time to plant a tree was 10 years ago and the second best time is NOW. So no matter what you have been postponing, it is much better to get it started now than to keep waiting for the right time.

In determining what the right time is, we need to understand that it is better to get started with the little that we have than to keep waiting for all the factors to come together and be perfect. Sometimes, we can only find perfect in the inperfect activities of life. So you need to realize that as much as we want everything to be perfect, we also need to start somewhere. In choosing between action and inaction, it is always better to start something no matter how small.

Even when the time is not right, start something small that pushes you forward than you currently are. It is important to also realize that motion with mission leads a man to no success. Not only does moving without a goal causes trouble, you simply gain momentum and it is for doing nothing. So while also trying to do something, do something that puts your future goal in perspective. Just keep pushing and keep going everyday.

The time to start is never perfect. Well, some few people break this rule and have everything perfect, but a lot of other people, you need to keep trying with every small opportunity you get to become a much better version of yourself. Realize that a car that does not move would gather dust and even the dust would become so much that it can affect the car. So inaction in itself is a problem.

So the message here is to always look for small tasks that push your goal forward, not looking for that single moment where everything would be right. By trying more times, the chances are better than trying only at few times. So whatever you have been postponing, start now, start today. Keep going, keep pushing and even thought the perfect moment might not be now, I believe if you keep pushing towards your goal, one day you would achieve it. Never give in to postponing what can be done today. Do it and get it over with.

Thanks and God Bless.

Your Why Matters
When you start out on a journey, it is very difficult to estimate how far or how great you would go. But one thing is for certain, no matter where you end, if your reason for starting is great, you would arrive at a point where you would have become a much better version of yourself. I have realized that so many times people are on the fast lane moving ahead, but the reason for getting started is so fake that no matter how early they arrive, their presence would not make it any better.

Your reason for everything you do is very important. That should serve as the monitor you look at everyday. Start out daily with a goal that makes you a much better person. Goals are important and that is why we need to start with very good ones. So many times, people achieve great things but do not really know it when they started. They simply had a fine goal and they kept going. And one day, it led to something great, much more than they can ever imagine.

So start everyday with a real goal, a goal that makes you and the entire world a better place. In following your goals, you would reach a place no one has ever imagined a simple goal like yours would achieve. A goal helps create an identity for you and that is very important especially in the world where we are in now. Simply ensure that you put in effort to make your goal happen. It is hard for others to help you make it happen. You have to start first and others would follow suite. Until then you keep going.

Your why is important. Keep pushing and keep refining your why until you can go days without thinking of anything else beyond your goals. Life would be great for us all if we follow our whys and be true to ourselves. You can start now. Define your why and keep going. Thanks and God Bless

Help Someone Today
The world is full of so many good things only if we search for the good things. The world is so much in a lot of trouble these days that if we do not look for the good part of it, we might forever be lost in the bad things of life. As much as we are facing a lot of challenges, the need to help one another cannot be overemphasized.

A lot of people believe that to help others is to financially help them, but no, it is sometimes as simple as smiling at that person you see everyday. For some people, it could be as simple as taking a few minutes to check up on them and you would realize that you have brightened their day. We do not need to do grand gestures before we help, every little bit counts.

Looking back in your life and where you are now, it is sometimes the little things that have made the important impact in our lives. Helping others is something that keeps going forward no matter how small it is. You can simply do anything small today to help another person. In life, it is important to continue to realize that together, we can achieve more. Imagine how the world would be if we together help each other out.

Realize once again that helping others does not have to be something big. It could be as small as a phone call to cheer the person up. Anything towards helping another person matters because you never know where it would end. And realize that anything is not too small. When people ask why I write so often, I say I hope it helps at least one person today so that the world can be a better place because of the article.

So no matter what you are doing, try and help others. You do not need to help in a bad way. You can simply help from the bottom of your heart and that is enough. Realize also that sometimes, you might want to help and not be able to, and that is also fine. Just have the intention to help and it would come back to you. People sometimes do not see the link of how them helping can come back to them, but you have to believe in something higher than you and that the dots would eventually connect.

Nothing done with a good intention goes to waste. The good we do comes back to us, always. So start today with the intention to help at least one person, and remember it does not have to be something big. Small also is okay. Take care and God Bless.

Love With All Your Heart
In life, one of the most difficult things we can do is to love with all our hearts. We hear so many stories of people who have loved with all their hearts and got disappointed in the end. We look at those and say to ourselves that we do not want to be like that, we carefully leap through life loving just a little to make sure our heart is not broken and also hopefully live a happy life.

But what is life and love if we do not give it our all? I ask this question because in the end, it matters that we give it our all to everything that we do, whether it be to love someone or anything else we do. In loving with all our heart, we understand that we give not only because we expect the other person to give to us, but because it is what makes us a better human. So many times, people underestimate the value that can be gained when we love with all our hearts and as such, so many people do not do that.

And also most people love for the wrong reasons and when you love for the wrong reasons not matter how much you love, it would not make any difference in our lives. It is important to realize that before you love anyone, you have a great reason for doing that and let that reason be what pushes you to love. As such, you love for the right reasons. So many times, we imagine a wonderful life for ourselves, but we try as much as we can to take away the part where we would have to sacrifice something in return.

Loving with all our heart should begin with us having God as the foundation of our love and when you love with God as your foundation, know that wherever the love ends, it is best for everyone. Know that things might not always go as planned but when we continuously seek and have God, that everything in the end would be alright no matter how we can imagine it. So take your time today and love for the right reasons.

Love might not be only about loving your spouse, it goes to loving the people you interact with everyday, your job, and everything around you. Loving without reserve and believing that whatever happens in the end was always meant to happen. So keep going and love for the right reasons. You do not need to care what other people think or do to you. In the end, it would be worth it and it would matter that we loved with all that we can.

Take care and God Bless.
