The Lead

Hello guys. So I recently resumed school and it’s honestly been really busy. We have had assignments and group projects and I realized something. So let’s take a trip down memory lane. Since my little sister was born I have been considered a leader. In school, church and other places I’ve been known to be in charge.

Anyway, in school this term, we have group leaders and unexpectedly [to me] I was not chosen to even be an assistant. This disturbed me because I have been used to always taking the lead. After I realized this, I had a conversation with my mom and she talked to me about leading from behind. I will admit the fact that I hate it when things don’t go my way. My mom told me however, that in order to be a good leader you need to be a good follower and overtime you will realize that one day the leader will come to depend on you for your accountability and consistency. Me being the DIVA that I am, I’m still struggling to accept this but hey, “All things are working for my good”.

Incidentally, my mum gave me a book a while ago titled “LEADING FROM BEHIND” by Chika Ossai-Ugbah. I started it and stopped reading because I kinda got bored with it. But I’m definitely picking it up again. You might want to read it too. So what about you? Do you have any experience with leading from behind? Please share it in the comments section. Looking forward to hear from you. #lead #school #leadingfrombehind #diva

Happy new year

Happy New Year to everyone. Last year was a very activity filled one and I hope that as the years pass, all our lives will continue to flourish in Jesus name.

Everyone is thinking about a new year resolution but honestly I don’t think they are as effective as they seem. If you really want to see changes in your life, you need goals and commitments, not new year’s resolutions that you will probably give up on in a week.

The easiest way to actually make progress is to move one step at a time. If you’re always setting about 50 goals for just a month, you’ll find yourself tired and giving up just 2 goals into it. You could also try making a vision board. With a vision boards you get to see where you are headed in pictures. Even after making a vision board you have to accomplish them one at a time. Write the vision and make it plain {Habakkuk 2:2}. If you are always making huge plans it will just look like some long and impossible list. So keep it simple and realistic and see yourself smash all your goals.

I really hope this was helpful to someone. love you all.
