@Not Every Door Is Your Stage

@Not Every Door Is Your Stage: Discernment in Leadership Exposure

Leadership is not a quest for visibility. It is a call to responsibility. In an age where platforms multiply and applause is just a click away, many young leaders are trading discernment for display, mistaking every open door as divine direction.


There is wisdom in knowing that not every door is your stage. Some are detours, others are distractions—few are truly destiny-aligned.


You see, opportunities are not always blessings. They can be tests, traps, or even tools for self-sabotage when entered without clarity. The fact that you were invited doesn’t mean you were appointed. The fact that you are gifted doesn’t mean every gathering is your ground to perform.


Real leaders discern. They don’t just ask “Can I?”, they ask “Should I?”


In leadership, exposure without readiness leads to embarrassment. A microphone in the wrong hand becomes a weapon. A spotlight on an unprepared soul becomes a magnifier of flaws. Influence is not something you grab; it is something you grow into.


The applause of men can be intoxicating, yet the approval of heaven must always be the compass. When you are driven by the desire to be seen, you may step into places your character can’t carry, your discipline hasn’t developed, and your assignment has not reached.


Every open door is a test of your motives. Are you seeking to serve or striving to shine? Are you speaking truth or echoing noise to gain followers? Remember this: not every audience is your assignment.


Discernment in leadership exposure means understanding timing, territory, and trust. A door may open too early—and you could miss the molding. A stage may seem grand—and still not be grace-filled. A connection may look divine—and still be deceptive.


Jesus, the greatest leader of all time, didn’t jump at every opportunity. He often withdrew. He knew when to speak and when to be silent, when to act and when to pass by. That is leadership matured through discernment.


Young leader, pause before you step. Ask the deeper questions. Seek counsel. Stay grounded. Every invitation is not a mandate. Every shout of “Come up!” is not a sign to ascend.


It is better to be hidden by God than to be exposed by ambition.


You will lead well when you learn this truth early: true leaders don’t chase stages—they steward seasons. They wait until their message is married to maturity and their voice echoes divine timing, not personal pressure.


So, the next time a door opens, don’t rush through it. Pray. Ponder. Prepare. Let discernment be your guide and impact your goal. For when your time comes, and it surely will, you won’t just enter—you’ll excel.


Yours in fulfilment,

@Thank You for Leaving Me

@Thank You for Leaving Me Sometimes, the greatest blessings come disguised as heartbreak. It’s in the moments of loss and separation that we find clarity, growth, and transformation. To my ex, to my former friend, to my former colleague, to my former roommate, to my former coursemate, to my estranged relative, to my former pastor, to my former business partner, to my former confidant, the one who once held a space in my life, I want to say thank you—for leaving me. Sometimes, the most profound growth stems from the deepest wounds. At first, your departure felt like a storm—sudden, destructive, and chaotic. But now, with clarity that only time can provide, I see it for what it truly was: a necessary turning point. So, this is my heartfelt thank-you for leaving me. When you left, you unknowingly forced me to confront the parts of myself I had long ignored. I had relied on you—your presence, validation, and company—as a crutch. When that crutch disappeared, I had no choice but to stand on...

@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery

@Smiling: The Magic, The Mystery Smiling is one of the simplest and most powerful actions we can take, yet it holds a surprising amount of magic and mystery. A genuine smile is more than just a facial expression—it’s a universal language that transcends culture, age, and even species. It’s a subtle gesture with profound effects on our emotions, relationships, and well-being. 📌The Science Behind a Smile A smile does more than communicate friendliness; it triggers a biological response. When you smile, your brain releases endorphins, dopamine, and serotonin—the chemicals responsible for happiness and relaxation. Research shows that even a forced smile can lift your mood, as the act of smiling itself sends signals to your brain that you’re happy, creating a positive feedback loop. This natural reaction means that smiling doesn’t just reflect how we feel; it can actually create positive feelings. This concept, often called the “facial feedback hypothesis,” suggests that our expressions ca...
