In life I believe we should be having a self-reflection and introspection on our personal growth and development. However, some questions may be challenging or uncomfortable to ask, and it's up to us as individual to decide whether or not we want to confront them.

Here are some potentially difficult questions that we may want to ask ourselves:

What are my biggest fears, and how are they holding me back?

What are the negative patterns or habits that I need to break to achieve my goals?

Am I living up to my potential, or am I settling for less than I deserve?

What is my purpose in life, and how can I align my actions with my values and beliefs?

What mistakes have I made in the past, and what lessons can I learn from them?

Am I taking care of my physical, emotional, and mental health, or am I neglecting myself?

What impact am I having on the people around me, and how can I improve my relationships?

How can I challenge myself to step outside of my comfort zone and pursue new experiences?

What am I grateful for in my life, and how can I cultivate more gratitude?

What legacy do I want to leave behind, and how can I work towards creating it?

We should remember that asking these questions is just the first step. The key to personal growth and development is taking action based on the answers we uncover.

Love Yourself, Even Alone.

One aspect of life that I never get tired of preaching about is the concept of self-love . Self-love is an essential component of a fulfilling life, and it's crucial to learn to love yourself even when others may not. When you love yourself, you're more likely to have positive relationships, make better decisions, and enjoy a sense of inner peace and contentment. It's important to remember that not everyone will appreciate or accept you for whom you are, and that's okay. People have their own beliefs, preferences, and biases that can influence how they view others. However, it's essential to focus on your own self-worth and not let the opinions of others define your sense of self. Learning to love yourself takes time and practice. It’s an everyday struggle that I myself have to deal with, especially at the start of my career and involvement with friends and strangers. It involves acknowledging your strengths and weaknesses, embracing your imperfections, and trea...

Teaching in an underserved school like mine has been a challenging and rewarding experience - 5 things I learned.

I teach in a low-income farming community called Joga Orile, a small village in the part of Yewa North Ogun state, Nigeria. When I got to this community, I realize that the community only has one public primary school among many private schools. But when checking the private schools here, the numbers of pupils are not many compare to my school but there is this challenge of limited resources to satisfy the large pool of pupils that most times can't afford to buy learning materials like notebooks, textbooks, rulers, etc. At some times in my fellowship here as a Teach For Nigeria fellow I am glad to have received support from friends and some civil society organizations to come to help curb this challenge. I know there is more work to be done and I will never stop until I drive for better innovation and policies to be designed and implemented to battle this problem. I'm almost getting to the end of my fellowship here in this community and I will like to share 5 things I lear...
