Stop it !

Its another rainy day in lagos and I’m up already. As I think about life and the things we need to do to enjoy it, I immediately remembered a message I received from a friend of mine Dennis and as I read it again, it made so much sense.

There are two important buttons on a music player START and STOP.

To move ahead in life, we need to firstly STOP a couple of habits to make way for the right ones.

In this two-part post, we’ll look at what we need to STOP and then what we need to START. As you read each one, make sure you actually stop and ponder over it and see how much sense it makes. Ready, here goes…..

STOP!

2. Stop running from your problems.
3. Stop lying to yourself
4. Stop ignoring your own needs
5. Stop trying to be someone you’re not.
