How are you feeling

Stay away from those people who try to disparage your ambitions. Small minds will always do that, but great minds will give you a feeling that you can become great too.

In the book Attitude is everything,the writer states that fear stands for 'false evidences appearing real'. Fear is a normal human feeling which is important in our lives as humans but which can hinder our growth and success when we let it overwhelm us. Most times we are held back from achieving great feats in life because we are scared of one thing or the other,but when we get past that feeling we realise that there was nothing to be afraid of. We should instead focus on developing courage, confidence and braveness to believe in ourselves before we can expel the feeling of fear. It doesn't mean we won't get scared, but we will develop the abilities to overcome our fears.

Conquering Procrastination: Unlocking Your Full Productive Potential

Yesterday we talked about procrastination and we also established a fact that it's a dream killer.

let's look at how we can overcome procrastination as individuals.

Procrastination is a challenge that affects even the most disciplined individuals.

While delaying tasks may offer temporary relief, it often leads to stress, missed opportunities, and reduced efficiency.

Here’s how to conquer procrastination and build a more productive mindset:

1️⃣ Identify the Cause
Procrastination often stems from fear of failure, perfectionism, or feeling overwhelmed. Recognizing why you delay tasks is the first step in addressing the issue.

2️⃣ Break Tasks into Smaller Steps
Large tasks can feel daunting, leading to avoidance. Break them into smaller, manageable steps and tackle them one at a time. Completing small milestones creates momentum and builds confidence.

3️⃣ Set Clear Deadlines
Without a deadline, tasks tend to get pushed indefinitely. Assign specific time frames to your work and hold yourself accountable to these deadlines.

4️⃣ Use the Two-Minute Rule
If a task takes less than two minutes to complete, do it immediately. For larger tasks, commit to working on them for just two minutes. Often, starting is the hardest part—once you begin, you’re likely to keep going.

5️⃣ Eliminate Distractions
Create a focused work environment by turning off notifications, setting boundaries, and using productivity tools. A clutter-free space helps maintain concentration.

6️⃣. Reward Progress
Celebrate small achievements to stay motivated. Whether it’s a short break, a favorite snack, or time for a hobby, rewards reinforce positive habits.

7️⃣. Develop a Routine
Consistency builds discipline. Establish a daily schedule that includes dedicated time for work, breaks, and relaxation to create a balanced, productive routine.

Overcoming procrastination is not about achieving perfection but making steady progress. Start small, stay consistent, and watch your productivity grow!

I have a feeling that today is going to be great

Love is not just a feeling; it's a choice. A choice to put someone else's needs before your own, to listen when they need someone to talk to, and to be there when they need a shoulder to lean on.

I woke up feeling really scared today and under intense pressure, I didn't understand why and all I could say was "God help me" God help me.

It took me time to calm down and regain my composure.

Tell God any and everything thing.

When I identified why I felt that way, it wasn't even that deep.

How are you feeling today sincerely

Tinubu’s second term assured – Akpabio

Senate President Godswill Akpabio says President Bola Ahmed Tinubu can rest assured that his second term in office is guaranteed, notwithstanding the ongoing plot by the opposition to unseat him in the 2027 poll.

Speaking during the special Iftar/Lent dinner organized by the Progressive Governors Forum (PGF) aimed at strengthening fellowship and deepening bonds of unity among governors, National Assembly members, ministers, top government functionaries, and the leadership of the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in Abuja on Wednesday night, he expressed optimism that the APC would also sweep more elective seats across the country in the 2027 poll.

Applauding the Governor Hope Uzodinma-led PGF for organizing the event, he called on party stalwarts across the country to work together to achieve the objective.

He said: “Can we say amen! We will offer prayers for our party, that yes, indeed, victory shall be ours in 2027. Can we say a loud amen! And we will also pray for Mr. President that his second term is assured. Can we shout a loud amen!

"So, for the party, our governors, you will grow in numbers, you will grow in numbers. On our part in the parliament, ours is to continue to add the numbers to you. We just recently sent one of our own in the Senate to go and take care of Edo State. Is that not a good thing?”

Uzodinma remarked that the occasion allows party stalwarts to pray, reason, and work together in the task of nation-building, adding that all hands must be on deck to ensure the victory of the APC in the 2027 poll.

“Because we practice partisan democracy, and because we produce the government, we must take ownership of the government no matter where we are and where we sit. The success of the government is our collective success. The failure of the government is our collective failure. And the government is like a product,” he noted.

“And all of us are marketing officers that must market this product. So the whole idea behind this… is to once more have a platform to appreciate ourselves, to celebrate our own, because the government is our own.

“So, as we work towards a more prosperous Nigeria, as we confront the challenges of leadership and governance, it is like a sweet and sour soup. Sometimes it is sweet, sometimes it looks bitter and sour, but at the end of the day, it is a food we must all eat.”

The Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Chief Wale Edun, maintained that remarkable progress has been achieved due to the bold and courageous decisions taken by the President Tinubu-led administration.

The Minister argued that the drop in the inflation rate and the reduction in the cost of living among Nigerians speak volumes of the progress recorded by the President Tinubu-led administration.

According to him, we are all living it. Inflation is down, food prices are coming down, energy prices are coming down, the exchange rate is stable.

He added, “Those are the things that affect the cost of living that people are feeling. There are other figures and metrics that are behind the scenes. But what matters is how people are feeling, how it is impacting them. And that is why Mr. President continues to make every effort to intervene, particularly on behalf of the poor and the most vulnerable.

“For coming together, Muslim brothers and sisters observing Ramadan, Christian brothers and sisters observing Lent. In brotherhood and in sisterhood, we stand. God will keep us strong, make our party strong, and help us to support, encourage, and work with President Tinubu to make Nigeria strong, make Nigeria great.”

Among the dignitaries at the event were the National Security Adviser (NSA), Malam Nuhu Ribadu, Governors Lucky Aiyedatiwa, Monday Okpebholo, Francis Nwifuru, former Governor Yahaya Bello, former Secretary to the Government of the Federation (SGF), Boss Mustapha, the Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Benjamin Kalu, the House Leader, Prof. Julius Ihonvbere, 36 states and FCT chairmen of the party, and members of the Dr. Abdullahi Umar Ganduje-led National Working Committee (NWC).

It feels good to have someone who truly loves you. #emotions #feeling A.K.Badaru
