I want to share some thought I felt could help to spice the new month unveiled today. Over time u heard people setting out things and goals whenever a new comes like this but one singular question that keeps resonating on my mind is how was the last month? Was there any record of achievement? Was anything won?
Follow me as I share these thoughts that can improve and perhaps stir your spirit as we invade the new month despite the challenges.
Strategies are very important in daily living and as far as life itself is concerned. One thing is to have a strategy but not all strategies leads to uncommon results. In fact results is what defends a particular strategy and entice others to employ it.
The winning strategies.
The starting of a new month is determined by one's priority in the first day of the month therefore take seriously these thought for a fulfilled month. There could be many other strategies out there however these ones are just cardinal for me.

One of the most important winning strategies is focus. In fact I can say this is the summary of what I intend to write on this platform. A winner is a focused man. The more focused you're, the better and Clearer chances of winning you have.
Focus is an essential valuable capacity that enables an individual to finish or accomplish a particular task at the right which gives rise to more productivity. This has become the challenge of many that yearn for advancement and growth in life.
How to maintain focus and be a winner?
Identify your source of motivation or in simple term what motivates you? Could it be an incentive? Or achievement or fear? Everyone has a unique motivation factor that propels one to do more. Once this is identified, it will an individual to stay focused by such you have potential of winning.
Attempt to write down your goal clearly. You can't win a new month without having a concrete goal stated and written. I have seen many complaining of the rate of their achievements but latter realised that they never wrote anything down as a template for reflection/prayer. Don't set too much boring goals but rather few that can easily be achieved within a small time frame.
Having a goal is not enough either is it a yardstick for you to be a winner. It's important to follow up such goals. Some are very good at dropping fancy goals but very poor in following it up to maturity/accomplishment. In this new month, a winning strategy is to have a follow up spirit over a particular task.
Measure your goals periodically to ensure that you maintain focus and also endeavour to evaluate your progress.

CONCLUSION
In Winning a new month like this, one important strategy is consistency and perseverance. This is a vital attribute that every winner needs to posses. Don't allow your previous mistakes in the last month interface with this new month. Deal with every distraction now. Wishing everyone a happy New month and fulfilled goal.

Hi,
It's good and great to bring forth my entry in response to the prompt of this week 64 edition 1. Trusting that every participant is bubbling okay.
Since I started growing up, I have never dreamt that I would be confronted by a military personnel before. I so much fear the military personnel, when ever I see them as if the earth should open for me to enter. At times I fidget at the mention of their name.
It was this day after a powerful Sunday worship across the school because I lived on the campus which made me never to acquaint myself with the outside surrounding which makes it difficult to track the strategic areas especially for military zones.
Stepping out this fateful day with my beautiful ear piece inserted into my ear listening to cool music, I was lost totally because the melody was super and my spirit really got connected such that I barely notice the movement of vehicles, motorcycle etc while others trek with their legs just as I attempted that day.
As I moved out that day, I never knew that I supposed not to receive phone calls at the military check point in fact I didn't know it was even a check point at the first place because it doesn't look like it at all. I suddenly heard someone calling hey,hey stop there and come here. Hmm I started shivering with great fear.
I summoned courage and came to see the soldier calling. He said I should remove phone from my pocket, remove the sim card, battery, cover and put them separately in the various pockets in my shirt and trousers. Thereafter he said don't ever remove them....and I shouted Yes sir. Hmmm I walked out the environment check point with speed without looking fear till I got to hostel.
That experience became indelible for me whenever I remembered it. So soldiers can be funny like this and sometimes can proof very tough.
I thought soldiers are always brutal in their dealings with bloody civilian like me but that day was a different moment in my life.
In another development, I was on transit to a long destination. As soon as we got to the military check point again, some few drivers that couldn't cooperates with them suddenly they were asked to come out of the car and started doing frog jump. They were almost naked completely because I couldn't see any clothes on then apart from boxers. They sweet and looked very dirty because of the punishment given unto them.
It's not good to fall into the hands of the these military personnel.
CONCLUSION
I would like to conclude that in as much as discipline is key to the development of human being the way some soldiers handle it is very bad and it creates a lot of false scenes. How can you be punish for the crime you know nothing about? Probably because you refused to tilt according to their desire or wishes that becomes a matter to them. I dislike such display.
I learnt that whatever you are innocent of may not hurt you. Do your part by not trespassing against the law.
Thanks so much for all your comments.

Let me start with my first article on Financial Literacy. This is the topic I delivered in one business community sometime in November 2021. I will not do the whole piece here all at once. It will be too much even for me. So, what I will do is just cut that old presentation into several pieces and update them into separate articles of at least 1,000 words each hoping that the piece will qualify for the Finance Writer Quest in Zealy Campaign.
My topic at that time was The Way to Financial Freedom. Others might rename it as Financial Security, but I would rather stick to my old title.
Not a Typical Article on Financial Literacy
At the outset, let me warn you, that it is not a typical article on financial literacy that you can read out there. Yes, some content might be familiar to you, but the biblical and theological foundations would be something that many would find surprising.
I have been searching for so long among my colleagues for this type of material, but I might be looking for something that might not be in existence or if somebody is doing it, perhaps, it is still in its infancy stage.
As a theological educator, I hope you pardon me, I cannot go on discussing something in the air as if you and I understand the same thing in the same way without first explaining where I am coming from. That provides the context and somehow facilitates better communication even in written form.
From a broader spectrum, I would say that I am coming from a Judeo-Christian point of view. I believe in God the Creator and I also believe that he did not abandon this world, even though many would find such a belief ridiculous in the face of numerous contradictions we are in today.
Given such a standard, I cannot talk of financial freedom without delineating first my source of information. Yes, I respect our common humanity. We are all the same in the eyes of the Creator whether we believe that He exists or not. That to me is given.
And the Creator I know did not leave us in the dark about the issues we are facing today. Theologians and Bible teachers like me may do, and churches too, but not God. He has given His Words and our task as humans is to examine the claims of God in this matter as revealed in His words. Of course, there are disagreements in dealing with current issues and that should be accepted given the reality of human limitations. They only become a shame on our part when we fail in our duty to make the message clear due to confusing voices from among us who claim to represent Him.
Before I leave my apologetic tone and go straight to my topic, I want to raise another point about the nature of the writing project. I recognize that to some extent my insights are premature and a little bit forced particularly in shifting from biblical history to the contemporary world. I still need to learn a way how to do it. So, if you can forgive me for such an offense, let me now go straight to our topic.
A Hypothetical Situation
In introducing our theme, let me begin with a hypothetical situation, that might be true for someone out there. This situation is about the possibility that a person can be amid vast opportunities that surround him, and yet he could not see them. Big changes are happening right before his nose, but he could not see them simply because he lacks the necessary tools or prerequisites to give him the capacity to appreciate and be grateful for what’s going on around him.
What I mean by tools is the necessary preparation of the mind and of the soul. The mind is prepared by relevant and solid information. This kind of information turns into knowledge once it is utilized to bring change.
The other kind of preparation is more difficult because it is how we respond to the lessons of life, whether as someone would say, we would either be better or bitter. Such a person can only be prepared if he has undergone a painful experience in life that one conference speaker describes as a “mind-blowing, soul-shaking, and seemingly world-ending experience.” I see such emotional preparation as very important for that person to see what’s going on around the world.
What COVID-19 and the lockdown did to us is to provide such kind of preparation. Responses vary to the current challenges that we are facing right now. Some just gave up and gave in to depression. Others just succumbed to fear and got paralyzed not knowing what to do. Others turned hopeless and no longer see a bright future ahead of them. But still, others see a different kind of world, a world filled with threats and at the same time opportunities.
Financial Freedom
In this article, as I share with you our topic about The Way to Financial Freedom, I just want you to keep this hypothetical situation in your mind. In the subsequent articles, we will return to it. For now, let us start by providing first a definition of financial freedom. What do we mean by this vision? What is financial freedom by the way?
I first heard this idea way back in 2009 among attendees of wealth courses conducted by a Filipino Chinese business community. Financial freedom for us is a vision of a future financial condition of a person or a family when his/their passive income exceeds his/their monthly expenses. This is a simple definition that I think many are familiar with.
Passive Income
A follow-up question is appropriate. What is passive income then? Again, this definition is common.
Passive income is different from active income. Active income is either the salary that you earn while working or the profit that you gain while doing small business. Passive income on the other hand is an income or profit that you gain without working for it. It is also called “money or a system working for you” and that’s what I see Hive can do for us if everything works out as I expect. Of course, I recognize that in new technologies like blockchain and cryptocurrency, nothing is certain.
In traditional finance, your money can work for you by way of investing in stocks, bonds, and other related financial products. But you can also lose money investing in these products when the market is in a downtrend. Investing in these vehicles requires understanding the general trend of the market, whether bearish or bullish.
I think that’s it for now. Again, I apologize if you find anything in this article not suitable to your taste, but that’s me, and I can’t deny myself.
In our next article, I will be writing about a biblical history that will somehow provide us with lessons to give us guidance on how to achieve this vision of financial freedom.
Grace and peace!
What is LeoFinance?
What is Hive?

You can’t share everything with everyone. People will discourage you based on the fear and self-doubt they have for themselves.
