  • Knowledge Unshackles

    Knowledge is not only power but also freedom. Dr. Myles Munroe once said, “The greatest weapon of an oppressor is the maintenance of ignorance.”

    Let’s embrace learning, apply knowledge, and empower ourselves.

  • Living Your Wisdom

    It’s important to ensure that you apply all the wisdom and advice you give to others to your own life. The weight of your words lies in your actions.

  • Courage Through Time

    One of my earliest and fondest memories is from when I was about 3 or 4 years old, having to get shots during a doctor’s visit.

    The doctor was impressed that I sat by myself for the shot without crying. This moment has stayed with me because it revealed my bravery and ability to independently face challenges. It was my first memory of a doctor’s visit, and I’ve never cried after a shot since then.

    Interestingly, I had many doctor’s visits before this particular one, all of which I don’t recall. I’m certain I must have cried during shots as a baby, as most babies do. This suggests that it took numerous doctor’s visits, shots, and tears before I found the courage to handle things on my own, and before I understood that shots weren’t as dreadful as they seemed.

    So, whatever you fear or whatever problem troubles you now, remember that with time and consistency, you can overcome it. Through practice, you can improve and grow. Things that scare you today may not do so in the future.

  • Free Wisdom

    You shouldn’t withhold knowledge from anyone. Why not share it so we can all benefit from it?

    In America, we’re taught to capitalize off our knowledge. Some may even withhold knowledge from others unless paid money for it. I know that’s necessary at times for livelihood, but free game is just as good.

    I’ve experienced a lot and have gained insights on things that can help others. I plan to always give it to those who are willing to listen. Sharing knowledge freely can benefit everyone.

  • 365 Days of Love

    365 days ago, my daughter was born. It has been the best 365 days ever!

    It’s amazing to watch someone grow and develop daily. It’s amazing to have that love that only your child can bring out of you. It’s amazing just being a father to a wonderful daughter.

    365 days go by very fast when you’re excited for what each new day brings for your daughter. My daughter showed me how much one can learn, play, grow, and live in just one year. In the last 365 days, I’ve probably given my daughter 36,500 hugs and kisses.

    There’s no better feeling than feeling like a protector and provider. That’s how I feel when my daughter lies on my chest with not a worry in the world.

    Happy birthday to my beautiful daughter, Navy Sola-Rae.

  • Blessings Revealed

    That blessing may not have been in disguise. Perhaps you were fully meant to notice it and accept it.

  • Doorway Kindness

    One of the simplest things that makes me happy every day is holding the door for a stranger or having a stranger hold the door for me.

    That small interaction of a door hold and a “thank you” exchange with a stranger warms my heart. We should always look out for each other. We should help strangers without expecting anything in return.

    Something as simple as holding the door for someone is a reminder that we are all in this together. Let’s spread kindness in our daily interactions.

  • Journey of Discovery

    I often learn new things that I wish I would have learned years ago. Not that I have regrets and wish to make up for them with the things I recently learned, but rather the new information I’ve learned was already out there years ago and would have benefited me years prior also, if I had discovered it then.

    It makes me think, maybe sometimes we aren’t ready for whatever it is we’re going to learn, that’s why we learn it later in life. Maybe we must experience other things as prerequisites before stumbling upon the new lessons. Maybe we couldn’t have learned previously because we were busy learning something else.

    Either way, it’s all good. As long as you eventually did discover and learn the new idea or lesson. The exciting thing is, a lot of the time we don’t know what we will learn in our life or what we will come across. You just have to take the first initiative to go on that journey of exploring and learning new things, then let the rest unfold naturally.

    Embrace the journey of exploring and learning, for it leads to unforeseen discoveries and growth.

  • Interconnected Choices

    When considering our actions, it’s crucial to remember how they will affect others.

    Many times, we don’t fully account for the impact our actions will have on others. What might seem like a small event to you can change someone else’s life.

    The best way we can take care of each other is by ensuring we take care of ourselves and make choices that benefit everyone. Let’s strive for positive impacts together.

  • Blessings Overcome Troubles

    If you counted all of your blessings, you’d realize that they outweigh your troubles. Both should be acknowledged, but your troubles shouldn’t be dwelled on so much.

    We are blessed with so much in life. Each of our lists of blessings is unique to us. Appreciate them all. Fall back on them when times get hard. We always talk about being in the moment, and part of being in the moment is taking time to reflect and be appreciative.

    Remember, acknowledging and appreciating our blessings can help us navigate through tough times with grace and resilience.
