CROWNFITNOTES

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐁𝐄𝐒𝐓 𝐑𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐆𝐄 𝐈𝐒 𝐋𝐄𝐓𝐓𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐆𝐎! Welcome to the last day in the month of 𝐃𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐦𝐛𝐞𝐫. We finally made it through 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟢 successfully.  𝑳𝒊𝒔𝒕𝒆𝒏, for the few 𝒔𝒆𝒄𝒐𝒏𝒅𝒔, 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒖𝒕𝒆𝒔, and 𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒓𝒔 left before we bid 𝟤𝟢𝟤𝟢 goodbye;  𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒖𝒓𝒕. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒕𝒆. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒚𝒐𝒖𝒓 𝒑𝒓𝒐𝒈𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒊𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓. 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 𝒐𝒇 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒂𝒊𝒏(𝒔) 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒔 𝒎𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒄𝒂𝒖𝒔𝒆𝒅 𝒚𝒐𝒖. Though it's not that easy, but you can always 𝑳𝒆𝒕 𝒈𝒐 through the help of the divine being living inside of you (𝐇𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐭). The only 𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐠𝐞 you can have amidst all of this is what? 𝐋𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐠𝐨. Oftentimes we react in anger when we think others have hurt us or when we assume that others are out to get us. We react when we don't need to. We hold on to resentment, and so...

If I could go back and give my younger self just one piece of advice. What would it be?  𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐏. If I could give anyone just one piece of advice. What would it be?  𝐍𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐑 𝐆𝐈𝐕𝐄 𝐔𝐏. It's so sad to see so many people give up on the life they want to live just because of the need to fit in. Fit in with parents, fit in with friends, fit in with society. Too afraid to dream of how great life can be because life and others have offered plenty of examples of what could go wrong. Plenty of examples of how hard life is. How much of a struggle life is. Well I don't buy that. I believe everyone is capable of creating the life they want. I refuse to believe we are stuck. I refuse to believe in limitations.  We are capable of anything 𝐈𝐅 𝐎𝐍𝐋𝐘 𝐈𝐅 we believe that. Because with belief comes action, with belief comes possibilities, with belief we are open to opportunities.  When we refuse to give up on our dream. When we seek to find ex...

THE 26 (A-Z) LIFE PRINCIPLES “Your time is limited, don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drown your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs How do you feel about your life today? Are you living every day in exuberance? Do you love what you’re doing? Are you excited every single moment? Are you looking forward to what’s coming up next? Are you living your best life? If your answer to any of the above is a no, maybe or not sure, that means you’re not living your life to the fullest. Which really shouldn’t be the case, because your life experience is up to you to create. Why settle for anything less than what you can get? You deserve nothing but the best. In the past years of my life, especi...

Learn to find inspirations around you, be it a simple greeting or a simple smile you receive or be inspired by someone's successful story or just a simple struggling story that comes out good. If you can't find that, just make your family, friends and those persons close to you your inspiration. Think of all the efforts they made just for you to have and live the life you have. Think of all the encouraging words they said and think of how much they will support you no matter what happens. Combined all of that, you can be motivated. Being self-motivated is critically important. Far too often people sit back waiting for someone else to give them a reason to get up and get going. If you want to make something of your life you absolutely have to become your own motivating factor!  You have to be the one to take the initiative to make something happen! Some people are really good at this and they do it naturally with little effort at all. I for one, have to put effort into ma...

Evolving a Passion… and Making it Work Step One – Gather Sparks of Curiosity Don’t have an inferno of passion driving your actions yet? Don’t worry about it. Most people I know don’t. And if you are under thirty, you are probably in the overwhelming majority. The first steps is to simply invest your energy into whims. Those little sparks of interest where you don’t know enough to make them a passion. Ben Casnocha calls this seeking randomness. For me, it has been a process of finding my intuition and using it to make small investments in things that are potentially interesting. This means reading different books, taking on different activities and meeting different people. Broad associations gives a lot of chances to stumble on a passion that can work. Step Two: Fan the Flames of Interest After exposing yourself to a lot of randomness, you need to cultivate the successes. Build upon the little sparks of interest that come by your life. If you read a book about physic...

When you believe in yourself that's when you appreciate who you are, the essence of your living, reasons for your existence, on the other hand when you believe in someone else, you realise how ominous it is because you will definitely get hurt; hence, you can be cruel by having grudge against the person you believed you could rely on, you cannot be anything other than human being that is only covered with just human materials because the anger in you can never lead you to the right part, your contentious for desire will be intense although there is no limit to human wants and at the same time you will be eager to impress at all cost by not having the moral standard to differentiate between good deed and evil deed while human person is capable of been logical and ethical so you can either be human being or human person because you can never be both cause one will surely weigh the other down in terms of reasoning. It's better to believe in oneself 'human person' tha...

So many of us think we are saying yes, when the truth is, we are barely getting by. We are barely tapping in to our FULL potential. Do these seven things and LEAP into your most abundant life. (The best part is that this potential already lies within you. Read on to awaken it!) 1: Show Up For Yourself Now, this may sound simple, but I want you to take a minute to think about all the ways you go above and beyond for others but cut yourself short. (You know – you leave the salon with wet hair to get your kids to their event on time or prep everyone else’s meals for the week except your own.) Make a commitment today that the kind of behavior that puts you last stops now. Showing up for yourself means taking a break from all of that in order to be mindful and present, to care for your own health, or to nurture your own creativity and energy,” she says. Here are some ways that you can begin to incorporate this practice into your own life, starting right now. Acknowledge...

I've decided recently that I want to say yes to things. Saying yes feels good. It feels expansive. I smile more when I say yes. It’s exciting to say yes. When I say no, I find myself tightening. It feels like I’m closing off, physically, mentally, and emotionally. Fight or flight gets triggered, and most of the time, there’s no reason for this kind of physical response in my cushy first world life. Now this doesn’t mean that I’ll say yes 100% of the time. Obviously there are times where it is important and good to say no. But generally, if I can find a way to say yes, I will. This is for all different aspects of my life – professional and personal. Invited to a conference? YES! Going out to dinner? YES! Meeting a friend for tea? YES! Trying something new that’s scary? Uh… YES? WHY YOU SHOULD SAY YES (You Eventually Succeeded)  Yes feels good to say. It feels expansive. Yes feels welcoming. It is inviting and allowing, encouraging and including. Even saying the...

Depression is eating deep into many individuals especially between the ages of 22-40. You worry about the future, finances, a life partner, you feel unworthy and unfulfilled because of Social media push, your dreams etc. Parents, get closer to your Children. Understand their mood, know and get through their challenges with them, be their confidant. You're not only in their Lives for Morning devotions, beating for getting pregnant/becoming a cultist, providing shelter and food. They also need to be fed Emotionally. Partners in relationship or marriage, connect with your spouse spiritually, mentally and emotionally so as to discern your partner's mood. Not every time Sex, Club, Suya and Pool. Friends, if you call yourself someone's bestie please pay attention to them, don't be a Fairweather friend that only wants to turn up for shows and know time for the next shopping. No observation, no attention, almost everyone is becoming selfish rather than selfless....

The world of abundance. We all dream of it. I guess that's the unifying characteristic of human race - imaging the perfect system in which each and every one of us is cared for in every possible way. And if some of us don't dream it for everyone, all of us dream it for ourselves.  Having everything we would even need; not worrying about money and time, oblivious of problems. Yet, so many of us already live in a world of abundance. We have all these opportunities, knowledge and resources. Just when confronted with choice, fraction of us will turn it into a new value; majority of us will turn it into a baggage. With more weight on our shoulders we become burdened, and when you are burdened, depression are not far away. Instead of focusing on obtaining, focus more on reflecting. Try to find silver lining in everything. Don't be a runner who after finishing 5K is upset about not yet being able to to run 10K. Appreciate and celebrate every achievement you conscio...

Stop looking for people to love you, love yourself, your life and the right people/person will appear. Don't feel bad for making a decision about your own life that upsets other people. You are not responsible for their happiness. You're responsible for your own happiness. Anyone who wants you to live in misery for their happiness shouldn't be in your life to begin with. Old energy is clearing. New energy is entering. Great things are coming. The universe is repositioning, and the world will never be the same again. Leverage on the statue quo to shun hates, gossip, backbiting, jealousy, and envying. Believe in your ability to change the world. Help those who you can and always believe in yourself. Never pretend and live other people's life because you want to look like what you are not. Avoid negative people and surround yourself with people who talk about vision and ideas. Don't be afraid of making mistakes because the only people who do no...

It is worthy of notes that God did not create us for isolation. We all need someone to be accountable to or someone to hold us accountable especially when it comes to our personal goals. I do not believe there is such a thing as a self-made person. Although it is right to say you eventually are responsible for all the decisions you make in life, it is also correct to say that till you were able to make those decisions someone took out the time to nurture and to train you up with the ability to be independent. In this journey of being a writer, who is that someone you are accountable to or who holds you accountable? Who is that someone who checks up on you to ensure you are not giving up on your goal to become an author or whatsoever thing you want to become this year? Do you even have such a person in your life? Or are you a lone ranger? One thing is for sure, we all need some amount of push every now and then, and there is a limit to what we can do if we always want to be on ou...

When all seems to be doom and gloom, there are still positive possibilities; you just have to look for them. Too often, we only focus on the negatives. Learn to look at every difficult situation as a present; the gift within is the possibilities it holds. To open the gift you must find the "possibility." When you are in a difficult or a stressful situation, reflect on the following four questions: 📌 Could it be worse? 📌 Are there lessons I can learn to avoid a similar situation in the future? 📌 What good can be realized? 📌 What am I going to do about it? ◾️ COULD IT BE WORSE? In the majority of cases, there is always a worse situation we could be in. By reflecting on a worse situation, it helps put the current situation into perspective. ◾️ ARE THERE LESSONS I CAN LEARN TO AVOID A SIMILAR SITUATION IN THE FUTURE? Look at the situation. Could it have been avoided? Don't go beating yourself up for not realizing this previously. Learn from the situ...

The mind is the womb of the future. A dream is simply your mind pregnant with the picture of your tomorrow. Be drawn to your tomorrow as you construct it in your imagination today. Dream freely. Its a gift of God to be able to dream. Put no limits on what you can achieve. Limitations are self generated. People who did great things removed the limitations and pursued their dreams. People called them crazy but they did it anyway. So can you. Create your future in your imagination and use your hands to bring it to pass. This is the capacity  God has gifted man. Use it freely and live life to the full. Dream, then do. Do and then it shall be done! Take the limits off. Yes you can. No matter what happens in life, either you move forward or you don't.  It really is that simple. And whether you have faced hard times or not, you got to keep moving forward and do what you are most  passionate about, no matter what anyone says or thinks, it doesn't matter and never will,...

What comes to you in the middle of the night while you are deep in sleep is called dreams. They come in different genres. They are either scary, beautiful, informing, directing, chastising or transforming.  Which ever form it comes, be sure to do these when you are awaken to real life. CONDUCT SELF EVALUATION TEST Do you have the capacity to meet up with the demands of your dreams? Take a stock of your strengths and weaknesses. BE PREPARED Put your mind, body and soul in perfect order before you embark on a journey to your dreams. One broken chip can destroy the entire system. GET RESOURCES What are those things that you will need to pursue your dreams with? Money, education, training, consultations, etc. Get it very fast and act on it. MANAGE YOUR TIME Be vigilant, conscious and prudent with this intangible asset called time. Don't be too available for everything. Prioritize your actions and delegate other assignments. ACT ON Don't wait for a perfect co...

The greatest gift in life isn't monetary or physical gifts but purpose of living and purpose of breathing. The richest man by my definition isn't the man who could buy a generation but a man who could give a generation PURPOSE of doing greater, breathing finer and living with love amidst their brothers.  A man in darkness isn't a man of evil nor born by the devil, he is a man battling with the battle of his own. He might be mistaken as an enemy because of the trails of his shadow but he is not battling his battle to please anyone rather for his conscience and his coming generation. No matter the color of your battle, remember that there is a PURPOSE behind every battle, its not an interrogative question but an evaluation for your conscience. Stand up and fight, if you don't no will, its your battle fight and win, you are a conquerer but don't get carried away by the passerby's of the battle. Purpose defines you. Purpose shift you to function effectively...

People come into your life for a REASON, a SEASON or a LIFE TIME. When you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. When someone is in your life for a REASON. It is usually to meet a need. You have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide you with guidance and support, to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend and they are.... They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled, their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON. Because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. T...

Forgive me for being blunt, if you cannot see farther than me, please step aside. I over heard this statement from a 7 years old boy on a phone conversation. What really struck my mind was this " if you cannot see farther than me ". I came to a conclusion that vision has nothing to do with age barrier. The eagle, a unique bird with a distinctive feature- its vision. It can see a tiniest prey a thousand feet above  ground and navigate its way to catch up with it. Can you see your future ten years from now? To answer this question, do this. WRITE IT DOWN Do not commit everything to your memory. Scribble it on a jotter, diary or anything you can gain access to without restriction. CREATE A TEMPLATE Device a means to bring your vision into reality.  Prioritize your steps and be committed to processes. REVISITING Revisiting your dreams gives you a sense of assurance and confidence. This gives you the momentum to move on and seeing the possibilities of it becomi...

Whatever trials you are going through today I would implore you to avoid a state of depression as if it were the plague! Don't let your inner life die! If there is a meaning to life than there is also meaning to the trials we experience. Never give up the last of human freedoms; to choose one's own way...the ability to respond positively to life's experiences. Do not close your eyes and try to live in the past when things "were so much better." Life for such people becomes meaningless! There is one common element that goes with any trial we go through and that is, how long will this go on? Look beyond your present circumstances. Envision what you would like to do when the trial is over. Envision the attitude you would like to have while going through the trial. Can you find meaning in this trial? I believe you can! Don't get so caught up in your trial that you overlook the opportunity to make a positive impact on yourself and those around you.  ...

Bumps, ordeals, storms, obstacles—whatever you want to call them, we’ve all experienced them at one point or another. A life without pain is a life unlived, and pain is just the unfortunate byproduct of living a full life. But as much as we must accept that emotional pain is an inevitability, we must also accept that the way we handle this pain can be improved and even perfected. You don’t have to let yourself collapse and crumble every time you feel that wave of negativity come over you again. The healthiest way to live life is to learn how to deal with this emotional pain and injury, or figuring out the best way to remain ourselves when all the world seems to be pounding against us. Here are 7 common sources of emotional pain, and what you can do to help get over them; 1) Haunting Memories There are certain memories that haunt us all, and unlike other memories, these memories come back from time to time to open that wound and hurt us anew. In many cases, these ...
