Too many people don’t really want to serve anymore, they just want to “make it big” and be served.
I recently watched a video where someone asked: “I’m xx years old and I need to make a huge sum of money in the next 5–6 months. I know I should build skills, but I don’t want to work for anyone.”
This mindset is a problem. Everyone wants success, but without the stress, the patience, or the process. It’s the classic “I want it, and I want it now.”
It’s very possible to hit it big quickly, even without skills or process, but that’s short-term. If you want sustainability and consistent growth, you’ll need to let go of that thinking and put in the work.
No matter how advanced we become, nothing will ever replace skill-building through service, time, and process.
In the workplace, no rookie becomes a director overnight. Unless you’re a NEPO baby, and even then, a reasonable parent would still make sure you’re trained and grounded before letting you lead.
It’s Monday. You might not like Mondays (I don’t either, lol). But set your emotions aside, do the work that’s required, and position yourself for the future you want.
A few days ago, I shared with my WhatsApp fam that for most weekdays in August I slept at 2:00am because I wanted to be consistent with a particular goal. I had to change my routine; devotion time, wake-up time, add a few afternoon naps here and there, and do an activity overhaul just to keep up. It stretched me, but the results I got were worth it, and I’m totally glad. I’ll eventually switch back to my previous routine once I get what I want and outsource a few things.
This reminded me of a lesson I already knew: you will always create time for anything you’re serious about, no matter how busy you are.
How bad do you want something? If you’re too busy to do it, maybe you just like it, but you don’t want it as much as you think. Because if you truly do, excuses won’t matter, you’ll find a way.
That course you’ve not started… That exam you keep postponing… That person you’re delaying to speak to… That job you keep saying, “I’m busy now, I’ll apply tomorrow”… You don’t really want them. You just like the idea of them. The day you decide you actually do, you’ll realize you can get them done.
One thing you should know is; excuses will always be available, and theyr’re very. But they don’t take away the consequence of not doing what you need to do to get ahead. And one dangerous consequence is delay.
Never leave an interview without asking questions.
Why?
Because asking questions not only shows your interest in the role, it also helps you decide if the company is a good fit for you.
Here are four categories of questions you can ask:
1. About the Role - What does a typical day or week look like for someone in this role? - What are the immediate priorities in the first 3 months?
2. About the Company - What’s the company culture like? - What are the company’s core values, and how do they reflect in daily work? - How does the company support professional growth? - If you’re bold enough (and you should be): Why did the previous employee leave this role?
3. Performance & Growth - What challenges is the team currently facing, and what’s being done to address them? - Are there opportunities for training and growth within this role or department?
4. Next Steps - Are there any concerns about my background you’d like me to clarify? - What are the next steps in the hiring process, and when should I expect feedback?
You don’t need to ask all these in one interview. Pick one or two that truly matter to you.
Always remember that an interview isn’t just about a company choosing you, it’s also about you choosing them.
Day after day, we show up with care, compassion, and strength- holding the hands of others through pain, birth, healing, and even loss.
But while we pour out so much, most times it’s easy to forget this truth: We are more than caregivers at the bedside.
We are leaders. We are innovators. We are advocates. And yes, we belong in boardrooms, strategy tables, digital health spaces, and global policy conversations.
As a Nurse/Midwife and Project Manager working in the NGO sector, I’ve seen firsthand how nursing knowledge and skills can translate into impactful roles beyond the hospital walls.
So here’s my encouragement to every nurse:
Keep showing up with excellence. Prioritize your own health and wellness. And don’t be afraid to take up space in new territories, the world needs your knowledge, your voice, and your vision.
💡The bedside may be where we started, but it doesn’t have to be where we stop.

Some things I intend to do this year:
- Bite more than I can chew.
- Do pass my power.
- Cut my cloth bigger than my size.
I’ll stretch beyond my limits, I’m not powered by just human ability.
2026, I come in the power of The Spirit.

We’re living in a disservice epidemic.

I pray you win 🥇

You know you can wake up any day and decide, “Today is the day everything changes.”
Change doesn’t have to come with grand announcements. Sometimes, it starts quietly; with a single decision, a single step, a single moment of courage.
You don’t have to wait for perfect timing, a new year, or anyone’s approval.
Every big turnaround you’ve ever heard about began with one simple choice: to start.
So, what if today was that day for you?
This is your sign to just start.
💫 You’re not too small to do big things.
