As the Year Ends, Celebrate Your Wins—No Matter How Small 👇🏽 Did you know that 90% of people focus more on what they didn’t achieve than what they did? As 2024 wraps up, it’s tempting to look at the calendar and think, “I didn’t do enough.” You might feel that the days left are too few to accomplish anything significant. But here’s a truth to hold onto: every step forward this year was progress. No matter how small or unremarkable it seems, your journey is worth celebrating. Think about it—how often do you pause to reflect on how far you’ve come? Maybe you didn’t achieve everything on your vision board, but you showed up. You grew, you persevered, and you’re still here. That alone is worth celebrating. Too often, we let the noise of others’ achievements drown out our own. But your journey is yours. It’s not meant to look like anyone else’s. This year, you may have taken a tiny step that set the foundation for something bigger. You may have faced setbacks but got back up. That’s strength. That’s growth. And that’s worth honoring. Why Celebrating Small Wins Matters Celebrating your wins—no matter how “insignificant” they feel—does more than lift your mood. It validates your effort, reminding you that every bit of effort counts. It builds resilience, fueling your confidence to face challenges ahead. It keeps you grounded, shifting your perspective from scarcity to gratitude. A Gentle Reminder for the Final Days of 2024 As the year closes, take time to celebrate: 1. The big moments: Maybe you landed a new job, started a business, or reached a major milestone. 2. The quiet victories: Did you rest more? Learn a new skill? Strengthen a relationship?. 3. The battles you fought: Perhaps this year was about survival—showing up when it was hard to keep going. That matters. Your path isn’t meant to be compared to someone else’s. What looks like a small step to others might have been a giant leap for you. Celebrate the fact that you are still moving forward. Remember: success is the sum of small efforts repeated day in and day out. As You Step Into 2025 Take the lessons and wins of this year with you. Use them as a reminder of your resilience and potential. Be grateful. Celebrate you. 👉🏽 Share one thing you’re proud of from 2024 in the comments. #BookOfChris #ChrisTips #ElileojoBlog #PersonalDevelopment #Gratitude #Reflection

I had to rush to the bank yesterday for a simple transaction, all in the middle of a time-sensitive project. Why? Because the bank staff who could’ve easily resolved it over the phone wasn’t allowed to answer calls during work hours – from a well-known Nigerian bank, no less! It’s like their phones are on a strict 9-to-5 nap! 😅 Having to physically walk into the bank for something that could’ve been handled in minutes? Frustrating doesn’t even begin to cover it. I don’t think I’d survive in such a job. What about you? Could you manage a workday without your phone? 📵 #WorkLifeBalance #CustomerServiceWoes #ProductivityBoost #OfficeHumor #JobSatisfaction #CareerReflections #WorkplaceRealities

Experiencing ‘his incomparably great power’ ‘I pray…that you may know…his incomparably great power for us who believe.’ - Ephesians 1:18-19 NIV Like a proud parent, our heavenly Father loves it when we carry out impossible things by His power and for His glory. And when you live in raw reliance upon His power, you will do things that otherwise cannot be done. When you think about it, in and of ourselves, we are incapable of loving God. We cannot fabricate love for Him. We can just respond to His love for us. Knowing this sets us free. Religion focuses on doing things for God. But true Christianity is all about receiving what Christ has done for us on the cross. What we do for God is a reflection and a response to what He has done for us. We all love miracles; we just dislike being in a circumstance where we need one. But, that is a precondition. You will never experience the power of God until you’re in a situation that requires it. If you want to be filled with His Spirit, step into a situation that requires His power. Pursue a God-ordained dream you cannot achieve in your own strength and wisdom. That’s why Paul writes: ‘I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know…his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms’ (vv.18-20 NIV). Today, God wants you to experience His ‘incomparably great power’ in your life. Job 32-33, 1 Corinthians 7:20-40 #wordfortoday

Discipline Shapes Your Future MEMORISE: “Now no chastening for the present seemeth to be joyous, but grievous: nevertheless afterward it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto them which are exercised thereby.” – Hebrews 12:11 (KJV) READ: Genesis 25:29-34 (KJV) While I was in secondary school, my teacher told us that every human being came into the world with a pillow of suffering which they must use before they leave the earth. You can choose to use your pillow of suffering when you are young so that you can enjoy your life when you are old, or you can keep it intact and enjoy yourself when you are young. However, you must understand that you will surely use the pillow when you are old. If you decide to use your pillow of suffering when you are young, you will put yourself through strict discipline. You will study while others are playing, attend vigils while others are partying, build a good character while others are engaging in vices, and save while others spend all their income. The memory verse for today says that periods of discipline may not seem pleasant, but they bring peace of mind in the future. Those who do not put themselves through discipline early in their lives will surely have their pillows of suffering waiting for them in the future. The choice is yours, go through the suffering of discipline now, or face the consequences of indiscipline later. Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. – Ecclesiastes 7:8 Your end is more important than your beginning. It doesn’t matter if you are from a poor background; what matters is that you don’t die poor. It doesn’t matter if you were heading to hell; what matters is that you end up in heaven. Don’t trade your tomorrow for the short-term pleasures of today. Esau was hungry, and he traded his right as the firstborn for a plate of porridge; he traded generational blessings for a single plate of porridge! Today, we would have been talking about the God of Abraham, Isaac and Esau, but Esau gave his position to Jacob because he wanted to eat porridge. You might say that Esau was foolish, but many people are doing the same thing today. There are people who were destined to be great prophets but never fulfilled their destiny because of five minutes of sexual immorality. Some potential owners of multinational businesses trade working on their business ideas for a little more sleep every night. Beloved, the cost of discipline today is nothing compared to its gains in the future. Reflection: Am I going through the discipline that is necessary for a better future now? #wordfortoday
