Self-development goes beyond you earning multiple certifications, being well read, and earning big bucks. All of that is good. But in truth, true self-development cuts across every aspect of your life. It is in you being aware of the various areas of your life where you could improve or do better.  It is in how you relate with people, it is in how you confront issues from a place of love and optimism, it is in being open-minded, it is in how you feel about yourself, it is in the quality of satisfaction you get from life generally.  True self-development is refreshing, it is liberating and wholesome. #BookOfChris #ChrisOfCreativity #elileojoblog

So yesterday (1st of April, 2023), for the fist time ever, I joined my friends from the Catholic Youth Organization Nigeria (CYON) for a charity visit to Pacelli School For The Blind And Partially Sighted Children in Surulere, Lagos. What I saw there blew my mind and strengthened my belief that nothing is impossible.  At Pacelli, I saw lots of children who were either blind or partially sighted do amazing things like: play melodies on musical instruments, walk without bumping into people or objects, play a soccer match, skip on the playground, swing and even ride a merry-go-round without any aid. I quickly noticed how intelligent, polite, friendly and well organized the children are.  You won't believe it but, two of these children actually took me on a tour around the school compound and told me exactly where we were in the school at every point of the tour. Amazing right! While bonding with some of these children, I was inspired by the joy and excitement on thier faces while they

On this glorious Sunday morning, I'll be doing the Classic #ChrisTips from the #BookOfChris  Love your neighbor as yourself - not less than yourself, not more than yourself... Just as yourself. Yes, it is okay to choose you first.  If you want to be happy, be loyal to your purest purpose and potentials not material gains.  Do what makes you happy as long as it does not cause harm to others.  Your peace is important, don't jeopardize it. Prayer is the key  to opening the doors of the spiritual and supernatural.  Your journey is different, stop comparing your life with others. It's unhealthy. Let other people's success inspire you, and not pressurize you to do dumb regrettable things.  Find out what you're really good at or enjoy doing, develop it, refine it, educate yourself more about it and share it with the world - this is the path to true wealth.  Your failures, your traumas, your mistakes, and your frustrations happen to help you grow.  It takes exactly the same

Are you tired of working each month with nothing to show for it? If so, you probably accepted your current job offer without truly understanding the concepts of "Gross Income" and "Net Income." You see, in expensive cities like Lagos, Nigeria where the cost of living is high - you might need to pause and reconsider the long-term financial impacts of accepting a salary offer and negotiate for a better salary if you have to. Not all that glitters is gold. While the salary offer might look juicy in figures, it is more important for you to ensure that most of it is not swallowed up by your monthly expenses like transport, feeding, utility bills, data subscription and house rent. This is because in order for you to live comfortably and grow your wealth, your expenses must be far less than your income. For my readers who don't have a background in financial accounting or business management, the two concepts below are very important for you to get familiar with: ~Net

If you lost your possessions today, will you still be valuable? ... Wait! Before you answer, continue reading. John Milton once said, "the mind is its own place, and in itself, can make a heaven of Hell and a hell of Heaven." Your mind is your most precious asset. With the right mindset, you can make miracles out of misery and create opportunities out of difficult situations. Like every other asset, your mind needs proper maintenance and management in order for it to thrive. This is why your "personal development" should be one of your top priority. Personal development involves learning new things, habits and building new skills that help you increase your chances of success, achieving your goals, and living your dreams. The sweetest thing about improving yourself constantly is that it prepares you for bigger opportunities and attracts the right people to you. Self development makes you an interesting and pleasant person to be around. So try and block out some time
