Speaking to teenagers, especially. Relationship is a big responsibility on its own. If you take it up at the wrong time, you may end up with an obscured vision and that may rob you the ability to unleash the potentials you have inside of you.  In your teen years, the most rational thing to do is to keep discovering yourself and building the capacity to bear the responsibilities that would come with relationship, later in life.  You can't afford to go into a relationship, unprepared.  Every individual has a purpose to fulfil. You carry a lot of values in you that must be explored. Marriage is not a purpose . So as a teen, that should not be your first concern or priority, in life. There is no point rushing it.  Take time to discover your purpose on earth. This ought to be your greatest concern, especially as a teen or a young adult.  A well-lived and fruitful life begins with self accomplishments and purpose fulfilment, not with marriage.  The teen years mak...

Apostle Paul of the Bible said "When I was a child, I spoke and thought and reasoned as a child. But when I grew up, I put away childish things. Perhaps, this would have been my testimony too, if my bladder acted more mature. On a daily basis, I sleep with fear and tension. My heart races fast and feels heavy. The tension is more, if I had someone sharing the bed with me. Will I not get disgraced again? The fear in my heart, robs me of good sleep.

I remember how as a child, I got beaten from my sleep. Getting sudden lashes from your sleep as early as 1am, 2am, is not what you will ever pray for. The brain could be traumatized and some cells could be damaged.  A bed-wetter suffers more during the rainy season. Many times I had to sleep on the cold bare floor because I couldn't get my tattered clothes and m...

Self-esteem was something I struggled with, as an adolescent and while I was stepping into adulthood.  Due to some events that formed my childhood experience, I had many lies built up in my head, about my identity.  You see, self esteem is a function of knowing and acknowledging your personal identity, especially your values and abilities, and getting the courage to operate in that truth.  Self-esteem has a lot more to do with an individual’s strengths and abilities, than their weaknesses.  That is, if you can leverage and focus more on your strengths than you focus on your weaknesses, you will boost your self-esteem to a great extent.  Low self-esteem, comes in when your weaknesses are amplified above your strengths. It is when you allow your weaknesses to cloud your mind so much that they overshadow the abilities on the inside of you.  When you allow yourself to be defined by your weaknesses more than you allow your strengths to define you, you are gradua...
