#24165: Do you know you?


You don’t know yourself as much as you think.

Different situations and settings will continue to reveal yourself more to you, as you evolve and grow. And I think the best way to approach this is honesty, and continuous evaluation.

I started seeing #LoveIsBlindUK with my wife (post the pods sha) and the nuances of human relationships is interesting. Lol! I will never get into such an experiment sha 😂, but it is eye opening to see how cultures clash and how background plays an integral role in how we act and decide things even if it is always working in the background.

See, constant communication and honesty within the bounds of genuine love, care, and commitment is the only way to build relationships that will last the test of time. If you are hiding something, ignoring something, sweeping something under the carpet, forming or internalising, dealing with insecurities alone and many more within this range of things; you are setting yourself up for a rude shock!

You can get so caught up comparing and wanting, that you are not living the life that can possibly create the very things you are wanting. It takes intentionality to build. And you will not build your own if you spend time worrying about why your own is not like...

I am still young in this business thing, but one thing is already clear: you don't treat everybody the same way. Not in business. Not in comms. Not in branding or marketing. If you don't understand your audience, you will create problems you won't immediately see. You can't send the same push notification to everybody. At a certain level, even sending the same email to everyone becomes lazy. People need to be grouped into behavioural pockets — based on how they think, what they value, and how...

I saw House of Dynamite on Netflix yesterday, and instead of just enjoying the movie, I was seeing the weight of responsibility, and sometimes what it means to be a leader. Although you people would have told me that the movie did not show whether the missile hit or not, now, I have to finish the story without a closure. 😫 I will firmly posit that leadership at any level means taking responsibility for the lives of other people; it’s just that the weight and consequences differ from level to...
