When people meet you,do you think they meet someone better than yesterday or someone declining?Yes,if you are not growing,you are shrinking.This podcast is a testimony that everyday gives us the chance to be better than who we were mere hours ago,a testimony that whether you agree or not you learn and grow everyday.What you learn or how you grow then depends on your choices.Be intentional about making better choices for yourself.Stagnant is definitely not exciting,nobody is interested in old news.Make the smart choice and grab the growth that comes with each day.💙

You finally finished the book. Looking forward to your DM! Let me know what you think about it 💙

I recorded this special podcast episode exclusively for you! for pre-ordering my upcoming book “11 letters I wrote, but never sent: Don’t Pick. Be both Rich and Happy - Screw the OR!” .. I hope you enjoy it, it’s a deep dive into “Chapter 1: Dear Lil Moh.”

If the mountain was smooth, you wouldn’t be able to climb it.

This is a recorded conversation between a friend and I. I appreciate him reaching out and allowing me share this with you.

Finding out what you want is part of your identity. You want to find your magic,your own kingdom where you shine bright with ease.For me,it is speaking😎.

*WE COULD BE THE BEST,BUT WE WILL NEVER KNOW TILL WE TRY*

I didn’t just stick with public speaking without trying other things, I indulged in a lot of things;sport,games and physical activities.I figured out what I wanted,tried it,invested in it and it became my magic.

Even if my motivation to play chess was cause of a school post, I could have chosen to paint,joined the computer club (built amazing robots maybe) or tried acting even code.But I saw chess in a different way and I went for it,became the best chess player in the school.

If I had stayed stuck on physical sports maybe running or football, I might just end up as a mid athlete or belong to the top 20 somewhere.

HOW TO FIND YOURS:

1.Start paying attention to everything you do.You could try new things also.

2.Pay attention to people you admire,what they do that keeps the admiration.

3.What are things you get easily attracted to?(apart from your love🌚).

4.Things/activities that when you watch,listen,read,consume or in their presence you become so active(they literally light up you energy).Indulge in them.

Dip your hands in a lot of things.You are multitalented,who said you could just be one thing???.Why choose less when you can be more?.Keep trying and testing out till you find your own magic pot.💙We Can Only Know When We Try💙.

There is a time limit to finding these things so you don’t need no pressure.Just keep trying.

💙PAY ATTENTION TO THE TIMES YOU HAVE FELT ALIVE AS THEY COULD PROVIDE YOU WITH WHAT YOU FIND.

💙WHAT YOU LOOK FOR YOU WOULD FIND.

I am going to cry,clean my tears and get back to work—Joshiee 2023💙. Maybe the pictorial representation of crying we have is the wrong one.Crying is healthy and necessary at its due time.I personally think it is one of the best restarting and replenishing method.If you have used exercise to let go of emotions or stress then you should try crying.I said crying though not wailing 🌚.Putting aside all its numerous health benefits,there is this immediate tranquility that comes with it.My word for you today;Cry and create a safe space for people to cry. SHOUTOUT TO THE TEARS YET TO COME💙SHOUTOUT TO THE TEARS OF OUR KINGS 💙💙💙.I hope you find your tears of ease🥹

You have seen it happen a lot.Be it the team captain,the school prefect,the perfect CGPA even the delight of people or acceptance from a peer group;all of this you have truly wanted at one time and you got at that time. The hard work and consistency you put into your wedding/cheerleading dance routine cause you wanted everyone in attendance to feel you and you also bathe in the joy it brings to you personally. You were intentional about each of those things and more that I didn’t list.Intentional isn’t just about doing the act,it is about doing the thought(I guess that’s why intention is the root word🤔💥).My favourite line in this episode is-You can’t be the noun without doing the verb💙💙👨‍🍳(I cooked something there,just stir and serve). We all strive for different things.For instance I try to be a better person to my neighbors/roommates;which low key means I have to include their comfort while I am making choices,reason if any of my actions might affect them negatively,make their lives easier when and however I can.I know I have to do these things,they are my VERBS that would build me into the NOUN I STRIVE FOR. This is where the LOFTY QUESTIONS help.Imagining you are that person already would definitely help in the new decisions and actions you make.I know if I am a better neighbor,I wouldn’t want to keep a pet if my roommate has pet allergies;I wouldn’t have second doubts about removing harmful objects around that person or warn them about it.It makes the work easier,If I am just me,perhaps I won’t see it that way. The person you dream of is still YOU.No matter the new Adjective you add,it would always come after your noun/pronoun.

God’s creation are constant,you see them show up or rise up everyday everytime regardless of what happens-so why do you think you would be different ?

Would you allow your rays shine during the dark clouds?

Would you come through/rain after days of drought

Would you become green after autumn🍂 ??

I won’t deny downtimes but what do you do after it???

Perhaps there is a difference between what you want and what you are doing.

In a sequel to his previous podcast,Sheriff Muhammad discuss further the dilemma of settling.Naturally our body responds to everything we do,either good choices or bad choices.The smart people problem is an instance where you know you are not doing your best (or performing at a lesser level)but you comfort yourself with the fact that you know you can but you just don’t want to(you deceive yourself that you are making a choice;that it is not who you are).This goes on for a while then you realize it’s no longer an option but who you are;Voila no greater you.Amidst panic of finding your old self,you ignite a one time spark that make you relax and it keeps going like that over time.Until you realize there is no one time spark again,you have declined.But I tell you it’s not all lost at this point cause the whole saga starts eating you and then your pain pushes you to YOU. Put on your shoes,tie the laces and work your track cause you can’t work mine.If you feel you are extra ,STAY AT THAT POINT,BATHE IN YOUR ABUNDANCE AND DO NOT DECLINE OR SLIP FOR A MOMENT. We are all making impact and I am not even lying or trying to cheer you up.Find one constant thing you do in your relation with others and don’t do it for one hour or a day and see for yourself the changes.Shine bright for those who can’t 💙💪🏾.

You have been getting your A’s at 90 and others get the same at 70 or something lower than yours.Then this thought just comes and say why are you being extra,why can’t you try doing it at 70????.You try it once,twice then it becomes a habit.And your new struggle or what you start looking forward to is who you were before.You have lost your Midas touch,all for what???just for you to fight for it again????💙The fear of being average was crazier than the hope of being extraordinary💙 what if you can’t thrive at 70,at something lesser than You?cause honestly you can’t be me or anyone else.You don’t want to do too much,yeah,but now look around,look within it’s eating you up cause you are doing less than.Shoot for the stars then you might fall to the moon,shoot for the moon I don’t know where you would go;probably hit your head on a crater.You being extra made you see what average was like,it made you understand that truly greater heights existed.You view a circle better when you are outside it,when you are in the circle it’s all you see.So,are you resting or declining??Drop your answer,thoughts and feedback in the comments.

Make it count or you can stay ungrateful.
