My Story

I remember vividly thinking,   “How does she do that? Isn’t he scared? Oh, I could never do that,”  any time I saw anyone living confidently and doing amazing things with their lives.

Particularly, I recall asking a friend in my first year in high school (secondary school), “How come you’re never afraid? You always have the perfect thing to say. How do you do it? You’re always so composed and confident.”

Honestly, I also longed for that kind of life. I wanted to have a Great life, an Amazing life…filled with a lot of wealth, health and joy. I wanted to be able to impact the lives of other people. However such a life seemed so far, so unreachable to me.

I don’t recall what my friend told me that day but I knew I needed help and being a book lover, I searched for help from books. I read a lot. When I got into the University I sought other resources such as attending seminars, trainings etc. (At that time, I never knew I was taking baby steps towards the journey of personal growth and development) Those resources I explored helped me a great deal however, there were still those underlying thoughts that held me back.

I went on with this back and forth experience of reaching out beyond my limiting mindsets and falling back beneath them. My thoughts about myself were mostly “I am not good enough,” “who would listen to me?”, “Where do I start from?”, “I don’t even know what I want or ought to be doing”, “Me? Set 2, 5 or 10 years goals? I can’t even see it.” 

Somehow, I got through life- completed school, got a job, got married and had kids but I was only living by default never living on purpose or by design.

In my journey and search for how to live an amazing life, I met JESUS. He is Amazing and timeless! He taught me and He leads me on my journey to Amazing. Well, I was actually born and raised in a Christian home but until I became committed and intentional about my friendship with Him I never saw a difference in my life. But since I committed to our relationship and started walking with Him I have seen and experienced immense transformational changes in my life. 

I have grown from being that extremely timid and shy girl to becoming a youth leader, an international conference speaker, facilitator of workshops, Bible Study teacher, author, video/content creator, co-host of a Kid’s TV show, entrepreneur, ordained minister, an exceptional mother, a delightful wife…. I mean, it has been an Amazing journey indeed and I’m not done yet! 

Anyway, I must be real with you I still some times have my “down times” because I’m a work-in-progress. However, I realized the times I strayed off course, (off my friend’s directives)  were the unpleasant downtimes.

A few years ago I once again got to that point in my life where I was tired of my life. I was not too proud of the woman I had become, especially given my gifts and strengths, and I desired a change. I needed a revamping. 

So I started looking into my life, I started asking myself some questions- “How did I get here?”, “Why have I not been able to harness the giftings I displayed in previous years?”,  “Is it too late to recreate my life?”, “How are others able to do great things with their lives and I am not?” Some of the answers I got from these questions pushed me to prayers. I took out time to pray a lot. 

Then I believe by God’s arrangement, I hesitantly I signed up for a Personal Transformation challenge. Then I hesitantly joined a community of go-getter women and I came in contact with life transforming resources.  Although I struggled with fully committing to the process, but as I kept interacting with the resources, my mind began to shift. It was like new light kept beaming through the dark shadows all around me and I started to experience life again gradually. 

It’s still an ongoing “voyage” but I am more certain that my victory is sure. Now, I am more self aware, my self-talk- my monologues are more positive and affirming as against the negative and degrading conversations I used to have with myself. In addition to this I have been experiencing clarity of purpose and life and I am deliberately redesigning my life. I love it! 

As I create my life of purpose, peace and prosperity, I realized that a lot of young people have the same struggles I had- struggles around their identity, their self-talk, clarity of their purpose, balancing their relationship with Jesus and their desire to build wealth. So I started LifeSavvyLiving.com.
