Women's Prayer Banquet Become A Better You (B.A.BY) with Pastor Dotun

My notes from Women's Prayer Banquet "Become a Better You" September, 2021.

There were so many wisdom nuggets being released at this online event. I just got to write down a few. Men out there will find this information useful as well.

Kids need hands on play-time: puzzles, lego, creativity from drawing e.t.c. This allows them to build creativity. On the other hand, always watching TV will create hyperactivity. (My kid's pediatrician actually taught us this at a yearly checkup, so this is standard medical information as well).

This is the reason why a lot of adults cannot meditate, our minds are not calm enough.

Excuses are made whether they are valid or not.The 1st person you have responsibility to is yourself.

Age, marriage and children are not excuses to give up on yourself.

No one is better than you, they just know something that you don't know.

Prayer is not a substitute for building skills and building up yourself to establish wealth. Some people are prayer warriors but do not build any skills.

People who take off suddenly in life at some point discovered the key to success is personal growth and dedicated themselves to life-long learning.

Life doesn't begin until you are intentional. You have to have long-term and short term goals.

You can't be pitiful and powerful at the same time.

The starting point for achieving mastery is for you to commit to excellence.

If you are not getting better, you are getting worse.

Get up and spend the first hour investing in yourself.

Reading is key to exponential growth.

If you read in your field one hour a day, that will translate into about one book per week.

Reading one hour a day for 3 years will make you a national authority.

Reading one hour a day for 7 yrs will make you an international authority

Rewrite your goals daily

- plan day in advance

-focus & concentrate on goals

-invest your time in learning

-read books

-time invested in personal growth produces tremendous results

Treat everyone like a million dollar person especially subordinates, don't talk down on people because they are underneath you. Connecting with people won't be hard when you treat them well. #inspiration#personalgrowth#faith#womanhood

The existential crisis of Job: The search for meaning

The phrase " existential crisis" may sound deep and far fetched to you so lets use Job's story to set it up. Let's introduce Job, a wealthy man with kids who do what most rich kids do, they party. He has lots of land. Set up a large farm in your mind and add some 7000 sheep, 3000 camels, 1000 oxen and 500 female donkeys. You need a lot of land to hold all those animals! He is a man with so much integrity that one book of the bible is dedicated to him. The question is why did he have so many trials? Everything went wrong in Job's life, yes e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g. It all started with something he could not see in Job chapter 1. God boasts about Job and Satan tells God that the only reason Job serves him is because of the things God does for him. His proposition is for God to let him , Satan, switch things around so that Job would curse God. God agrees but states that Satan cannot take Job's life. ...

Two Healthy Avocado Sandwiches and Homemade Ginger tea: A way to help Millennials "save for a home."- Sizzle Drizzle recipes

I remember the first time I told a college classmate that I loved avocado on bread. Her reaction was "that sounds weird." Some other people in earshot of the conversation also gave me strange looks. I actually had never heard of an avocado sandwich at that time but now eating avocado toasts or sandwiches is a major trend. Avocados are highly nutritious, containing 20 essential nutrients, so I consider their rise in popularity a good thing. According to the Washington Post, the rise of the avocado in America began in 2015. I have inserted a link here to the Washington Post article: " The rise of the avocado, America's new favorite fruit ." This year, 2017, avocados are still popular enough to cause an uproar on social media (read tweets here ) in response to millionaire Tim Gurner's statement during an interview on 60 minutes. He spoke about Millenial Australians not being able to buy houses because they are unemployed and spend "forty dollars a day...

Healthy Habits: Why starving yourself is not a good way to lose weight

Why starving yourself is not a good way to lose weight It’s been ages since you stepped on a scale. You wake up one morning and decide summer is getting close or that you have a big wedding coming up that you just have to look amazing for. If you’re a guy you may want to be able to show off toned muscles like a Hollywood star. You step on a scale and realize you have added 15 pounds since the last time you weighed yourself. It may not seem like a lot to some people but it is shocking to you. The pounds added up in 2 months! How can this be? Maybe there is something wrong with your scale. You start thinking about it and realize you have a good excuse. Life has been hectic. You may have started stress eating without paying attention. You may have had a crazy college semester or a turbulent couple of months at work. You just have not had the luxury of time. Time to pay attention. Time to care about yourself or time to even think about working out. It’s not your fault, it’s just...
