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.                 ...

Emotional healing is a process

It is often said that time heals all wounds. I think it depends on what you do with that time and what your wounds are. Medically, a deep wound will not heal on its own with the passing of time. In the same way, an emotional wound will not heal if the work is not put in to go through the process of healing. The work could be reading the bible, listening to seminars by psychologists, reading books, listening to messages, therapy, being around loving people e.t.c, things that build your soul. "A cheerful disposition is good for your health; gloom and doom leave you bone-tired" Proverbs 17:22(MSG version ). The NLT version says " A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person's strength." A wounded heart leads to a broken spirit. Any wound needs attention.  On, the other hand you could let a wound fester. You will not heal by holding onto unforgiveness or bitterness. It will only deepen the wound and keep you in a constant cycle of ...

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...
