Defining Your Purpose

-


I have learnt time and time again that our purpose sometimes is beyond what we see at the present.

Hey guys, hope you're all doing well? Remember in my last blog post, I talked about starting over? Well, my blog is really going to be doing a lot of that.

When I first started blogging, I wasn't sure what I was going to blog about. I love to write but it has always been just a hobby and I never really took it seriously.

Actually, I never really believed that I was that good a writer or that I could make a career out of it. That was until I got a job as a content writer.

Details on that story in another post 😁

When I also started blogging, my purpose was unclear. Everyone was either a gossip or beauty and fashion blogger. I can't do gossip and I'm not exactly beauty and fashion role model or expert either so I was really confused. I decided to just wing it. This further fueled why I gave up after a while, I didn't even know what I was doing.

If you read my last post, I talked about how the panel session with Dolapo Sijuwade, Ink Eze and Sisi Yemmie at Slay Festival 2018 helped me decide to blog again.

Well, it also helped me discover what I should be talking about on my blog. They all talked about how your content should be something that comes naturally to you and something you really enjoy doing. Sisi mentioned that, if you examine closely, people must have already been telling you about this particular trait and she explained how people would always tell her she loves food a lot and that's how she knew that was her niche.

I decided to ask myself, what is really my niche? On an impulse, I decided to look through all of my old blog posts again. And when I did, it hit me. I had a niche all along, I just never realized it. I realized that most of my blog posts were inspirational/motivational. Even when I was blogging about something else, I always ended up with encouragement, motivational quotes and the likes.

The more I thought about it, the more it made sense. My friends always come to me for advice or when they're down and at a point, one of my friends actually used to call me madam counselor. 

I smiled at this thought and in that moment, I knew I had found my space.

RISING ABOVE ALL

Hello guys, how have you been? I know it's been a long hiatus despite my promise of coming back. However, I'm not even going to bother with a long explanation and promises because even now, I am still not back but i just thought that with all that's been happening, I should try to reach out to you and see how everyone has been holding up. The world is currently going through one of its roughest crisis in over a century and there's a lot of fear and uncertainty. In all of this, it can be extremely difficult to stay positive and hopeful. Happiness seems like a far-fetched luxury for so many of us. However, it is in times like this that our tenacity as a species is called to bear and the principles of kindness, neighbourliness and love are needed more than ever. For some of us, we are still able to meet many of our daily necessities with little to no trouble but for many others, this is not the case. While there is little we can do to change the state of th

I AM BACK

This has been my longest blog hiatus ever! Welcome back to my blog guys. To be honest, I really have no reason why I have been away from the blog for so long. It was just one of those periods where you lack motivation. I resolved to continue blogging this year but somehow it has stretched into June. However, I’ve been thinking about the blog for a few weeks but I wanted to put some things into place and this was taking longer than I thought so I decided to just take the plunge and start anyway. We’ll modify as we go along. NEWS FLASH!!! I started a beauty page on Instagram last year (because I’m beauty obsessed 😃) but it was hard keeping up with all my obligations so I have decided to merge my beauty blog with my personal blog to bring you an all-in-one experience; basically a blog that explores all of my different interests. From inspiration to beauty, business, career and anything in-between will all be shared here on this blog and I cannot wait for you guys to see it al

STARTING OVER

What do you do when you lose yourself? When you feel you have failed and can't find your way back? How do you get back on track after giving up on a dream? For over a year, I have not written a single post on this blog. Of course, I accept I wasn't always consistent but I never ever allowed the blog stay dormant for so long. Actually, I was beginning to get better at the frequency of my posts but then something happened, If you click here , you will see a post where I encouraged all who read my blog to share as much as possible so that others could also visit the blog. Sadly, that wasn't happening, my blog wasn't getting traction and I got super discouraged.  My last two posts got less than 50 views each and I just began to wonder if this was really worth it. Note that money was not even the cause of this, after all, I hadn't even commercialized the blog yet but i felt like people weren't even appreciating my work. I mean, every blogge
