Lessons Of The Week

As I reflect on the past week, I've learned valuable lessons that I believe are worth sharing as we prepare for another uninvited work week. I have realized that there are a lot of lessons to learn in a day and major ones to learn in a week. From when we leave our rooms through to when we return. Normally, we are fixated on what the week will offer, what obstacles will we face, and how we can appropriately swerve them. Before the week even starts, we are already anxious and nervous about the activities coming up. Anyway, here are some lessons that I think will help you as you navigate through life.

Say Good words to yourself before leaving the house

Let us be real, there are times you say these words, but get to work or school, and your whole world comes crashing down. It happens. The essence is not to prevent bad things from happening, that is inevitable, yet we do that to set our mind towards the positive. So that even when that trying time approaches, you know how to react positively and appropriately. I know it's difficult, but before you begin your day, take a moment to breathe deeply and remind yourself of your value and potential. Speaking positively to yourself can truly help, even though it may sound a little corny or unrealistic at first. It's all about empowering yourself with that extra confidence boost and establishing a positive tone for the day. Because, let's be honest, we could all use a little reminder from time to time that we are valuable and capable. It doesn't spoil it if you do that.

Do what you are supposed to do

There are times when we find ourselves trying to impress and we end up being sycophants or self-seeking flatterers. It doesn't suggest that if there is something to do you should not do it. But it is good to try as much to stay in your lane while doing that extra work. Doing what you're supposed to do can feel daunting at times, but remember that it's about taking small steps in the right direction. Whether it's tackling a work project, sticking to a healthy routine, or simply being there for someone, each action contributes to your growth and progress. Embrace the journey, stay focused, and trust that you're capable of meeting the challenges ahead. You've got this!

Be the best of yourself

Being the best version of yourself is a continuous process of self-awareness, development, and acceptance of your individuality. It's about pushing yourself, developing a mindset of constant improvement, and setting meaningful goals. Being the best version of yourself entails coordinating your actions with your values and goals, whether that be advancing in your work, fostering meaningful relationships, or pursuing your passions. Recall that it's acceptable to move slowly and to acknowledge each accomplishment as it comes. Accept the journey, maintain your focus, and have faith in your capacity to build the life you have imagined.

Always put in your best effort

Giving everything you do your all is what it means to put in your best effort. Giving everything you have, whether it's in the form of homework, or household chores, demonstrates your concern and desire to perform well. It's akin to declaring, "I will give it my all, no matter what." Regardless of the result, you can be proud of what you've accomplished when you give it your all. Thus, always put your best forward and never give up!
