5 SUCCESSFUL KEYWORDS IN 2017



Happy Sunday peeps, I believe you all are doing great and having such a wonderful holiday and Christmas preparation.

Christ is the source of love, peace, joy and wisdom vibrating in my very bones. Can I get an Amen to that!!!

As the New Year fast approach, there are some words you need to input in your dictionary if you want to succeed in 2017. Thanks to my mentor “Tunde Ayeni” for sharing these keywords.

1) Thank you:

Two words that melt and make people feel appreciated. No matter what occurs either someone helped you or the other way round, say “Thank you”

These two words enhance your politeness and harness your mind to be at peace which won’t only reflect outside but will magnet favours and opportunities your way.

2) I am sorry:

As simple as it sounds, it literally prevents the third world war from starting as we speak. I’ve come to realise you don’t have to be right always and there is no point of view that’s absolute, sometimes you just to massage whoever is offended in warm word “I’m sorry” and let sleeping dog lie.

If someone hurt him/herself, tell them “I’m sorry”…sorry numbs pain psychologically.



Inability to say sorry is a demonstration of PRIDE

Also “I’m sorry” can be used when you didn’t hear something clearly or understand a particular topic, instead of assuming and reacting negatively, it’s good you ask for clarification for a long lasting solution.

3) What do you think? :

You might have thought about certain angles on a subject matter, but its good you ask “What do you think?”.

Like I said no point of view is absolute, therefore, seeking another trajectory on the same subject matter is highly necessary to draw deeper understanding.

Don’t impose your will on other even Christ didn’t impose life or death on us. He gave us an option “What do you think?”

4) Learn to use two important things “Yes” and “No”:

If you say “Yes” to everything in life, you will lose your agenda. If you say “No” to everything, you are hindering yourself from evolving.

However, there has to be a balance because, at the end of it all, we are going to be accountable for our actions.



Majority relationships have crumbled because the guy didn’t have the balls to say ‘No” to certain things that could have been easily averted.

“Your ability to grant request does not mean you are matured. –Tunde Ayeni”

It’s very good we strike a balance ASAP.

5) In the absence of “Yes” or “No”, say “Let me think about it”:

Many of us would have averted big messy situations if only we had thought of something the second time.

We shouldn’t be too quick to respond to life daring situations. It’s very good to discern, weigh options before taking a move just like a soldier in an assault ground.

Life is battlegrounds we must tread carefully however while choosing our battles carefully, we are moving forward little by little.

Wrap up
Sometimes hearts wouldn’t have been broken if only they had said “Thank you, I’m sorry, What do you think, Yes or No and Let me think about it”

Speaking of which, you can download my E-book series BROKEN, it has cool infographics and a map on seeing the good in difficult times.

It’s Christmas, no need to be shy about it, I’m prouder than ever to celebrate the birth of Christ so I’d still say “Merry Christmas” than Happy Holidays.
