What’s your heart posture like? There was once a young beautiful lady who happened to be one of those who claim to be so passionate about social impact. On her social media page, she writes and talks so much about social impact to the extent that everyone has come to believe in her passion. You would even think she can and would go to any length to cause a change, so she thought as well. Not too long after she happened to be posted to a rural area that was suffering from the aftermath of a war that occurred and she had to work as a volunteer to impact the children in this area, she then discovered the true posture or state of her heart towards social impact. She had to come to a place of being honest with herself especially when she saw how those who don’t even claim to be passionate about social impact are passionately and willingly impacting these children suffering from the aftermath of the war. She wondered what then had she been doing on social media. “Am I living a double life?” ...

…. hey, jack of all trade come closer. Can you come a little closer? Can you pay a special attention for the next 2 minutes? I have something to tell you my fellow jack of all trade buddy. There are some of us that can’t just stop dreaming of so many things simultaneously.  You have so many big goals you want to achieve. Today, you want to tackle SDG 1. Tomorrow, it is SDG 4. Next week, it is SDG 13. Then another time, it is SDG 17. As you keep envisioning, you can’t seem to let go of one for one. Everything just seem so attached to you. They all resonate so well with you that you want to create an impact. Everyone keep telling you to focus on one so that you can be excellent.  They keep telling you how confused you are because you just can’t settle your mind on one thing. You keep changing or bringing up new visions when you are not a chameleon. You then begin to wonder, “am I really confused? Is it possible I don’t know what I am doing?” Funny enough, you are not even excell...

Discipline has come to be a rare commodity. It’s not like it’s difficult to get but it becomes hard to sustain. One of the traits that makes successful people successful has to be the discipline they have imbibed to stay true to their course. Distractions would always want to find it’s way and make one lose focus hence resulting to little or no productivity.  What makes the successful look like they are soaring effortlessly has to do with their discipline to keep their focus despite the so many luring distractions to keep them off track. As a social impact leader, who wants to experience progress in a particular sector has to learn the art of discipline and train herself to be disciplined. The reason is this, in the process of switching lanes multiple times, there is a high tendency for you not to believe in yourself or your dream any longer. You begin to doubt yourself and the authenticity of your vision or dream. This can be as a result of focusing so much on the results of other...

To talk is always cheap. There is nothing like you having the experience yourself to know the consequence of the things you say or do just from your perspective of life. There is really more to what you see. It’s very possible for you to think that in this time that we are, no one or place would be without internet even any network to make calls. That’s probably because of the regular access you have to it. As an undergraduate or secondary school student, you might even see your going to school as a waste of time. This is probably because you feel like they are not teaching you how to make money overnight.  As a youth with so much vibrancy and high self esteem, someone who knows what she wants for her life, looking down on others might be easy for you. This is also possible because you’ve been exposed to a certain knowledge and you believe so much in this knowledge that it has helped greatly in shaping the way you think hence giving a beautiful outcome of your life. Now, LISTEN. Ev...
