Victory: 31 blog posts in 31 days!

-

 




I am very very very excited to be writing the 31st blog post of this year on the 31st of January 2023. I want to commend myself on the commitment to do this even coupled with pressure from work and engagements with people in my network. I was still able to manage to get in 31/31 in all days of January.

I must say it feels great. Consistency daily is really difficult. Some days, to be honest, I did not feel like writing anything, so what I did was throwback to old posts and add comments above them. 16 posts were throwback posts and looking back, while 14 were new articles. 

I realized it is not about whether the article is a throwback article or a fresh one, but what mattered was sticking to putting something out there on this blog every day. And I am proud I pushed myself to do it. There is a joy in deciding to do something difficult and being able to use your will effectively in eventually doing it. I feel that joy as I write this.

If I can achieve this against all odds, then I can try to sustain this longer and it would mean that this year I am set to write the highest number of new articles on this blog. How about that?

Asides from a personal sense of achievement on keeping to this commitment, the statistics on the blog have also improved. Compared to last month, we have about 1500 new views to this blog. I think people love to come back to read when you always have something to share.

Search Console already sent me this good news today:







So, it means more people are finding the blog directly from Google search. Could it mean that writing new stuff more consistently on the blog means it would rank better in search engines? Well, I can only guess if that is true at the moment. 

This month, the following articles came out on top and will add the article links here in case you need to see why they have ranked top:




1. https://www.boldwinner.com/2017/05/take-time-to-work-on-self.html
2. https://www.boldwinner.com/2020/06/what-happened-to-victor-pride-of-bold.html
3. https://www.boldwinner.com/2017/01/why-you-should-be-careful-with-i-dont.html

6. https://www.boldwinner.com/2023/01/stop-wasting-your-thoughts-on.html

And for this month, the following countries were the top readers:



You know, I am delighted the people from the United States really find this blog interesting, I mean over 2000 views from the States is something. Second on that list is Russia. Considering what is going on now in the world right now, I will leave no comment. :) Then there's people from Canada, followed closely by Ireland and then the Indians, the Germany and we get to the only African Country on the top 10 list, Nigeria of course (the giant of Africa :) Cheers to all you Nigerians managing to read what I share here. And then United Kingdom, greetings to Rishi Sunak and then the Netherlands.

I am hoping to see some changes on this list by end of the coming month. But I feel good about the diversity of countries reading this blog. I feel like achieving this goal of writing something every day on this blog, no matter how little has given me more motivation to continue writing. And my writing has become better too. My reports now at work are clearer and more concise and I find myself becoming much better at expressing myself in clear writing.

Asides from this blog, I also made a commitment to write about my day in my personal diary. I started doing this since 14th December last year though, I encourage you to try it as it helps you remember everything more clearly and to make better plans towards your goals or visions.

You know it’s surprising that something that seems as trivial as being able to write 31/31 days in January can make me excited like this. It takes very little to be excited I guess, and I guess achieving things, pushing through and getting done what you have decided to do makes you happy. Challenges therefore are good as progressing through them makes us happy.

So my dear champion and beloved reader of my boring blog .. lol, I may not know you personally or the country you come from, but I encourage you in whatever you may be facing at the moment to keep pushing and keep striving at it. Set challenges for yourself and surmount them. Do things that challenge you. All of these keeps us happy and functioning as humans. Challenges are there to make you happy. It may not appear so sometimes, but once you face them and commit your will of steel to keep doing what you can, no matter how little each day, then you will derive full joy as you overcome all that comes your way.

Keep winning fellas. And if this blog is helpful to you, please take out time to share with other people, reading an article here could also be of benefit to them. Everyone is going through something, but the right words can spark a change in the heart of anyone.

Let me know your thoughts, I will strive to keep writing. I wish you all the best in February tomorrow. All the best!

Why You Should Be Careful With An "I don't Care" Attitude

-
Image
You've probably heard people say things like "I don't care what anybody thinks." "I don't give a damn" "I don't care anymore" and other words like that. The "I don't care" attitude is becoming quite popular and of course it comes with a good feeling. This attitude can actually be helpful if it motivates you to keep trying where other people have failed or it helps you become a better and a much happier person. But sometimes, this attitude can arise out of pure stubbornness and laziness. Many relationships among people have failed because of this. Some people don't care at all about another person but just themselves and their needs forgetting that their needs are dependent on the needs of other people. It is important to actually care to know the truth and properly look into our consciences before we adopt an I don't care attitude towards anything. Are you adopting it because you are convinced you're on a

What Happened To Victor Pride of Bold and Determined?

-

So after so many months without visiting his blog, I tried to visit boldanddetermined.com for some fired up articles only to get a surprise.. that the blog has been permanently closed and then there's podcast following from Vic Pride (now Brother Nicholas) claiming that He's now Born again and has given his life to Jesus Christ. I didn't know how to feel. Whether it's good news or bad news will ultimately be up to us, but I just think I should share my thoughts about it here. But before that a brief background story. Victor Pride has been running the motivational blog bold and determined since 2011 and he has actually inspired and motivated a lot of young men and women to break out lazy attitudes/habits to live the life of their dreams.  Even though, I never really agreed with quite a number of his ideas about God, religion, the government, women etc, I still saw the truth in some of the things he said. And he had a very unique way of writing with gives you that adrenal

The Definition Of A True Man

-

In today's world, it seems as though the definition of a man is getting more debased day by day. Value systems seem to have changed and being a man appears to now be centered on ephemeral, distasteful and immoral behaviour. Here on this blog, you'll get the truth on the definition of a true man. Yesterday, I got into an argument with a male colleague at work. Ordinarily, I try my best to avoid any form of arguments except when absolutely necessary. This was one of those exceptional days. We were all having a wonderful discussion about things we need to know in making the right choice as regards a life partner for marriage and everyone of us was sharing their candid opinions and learning from those shared by others. Then, the young man who was standing aside joined in and started saying that we were all talking nonsense. He continued by saying that only his opinion was valid because he had slept with so many different women to the extent he had lost count. I didn'

Love Someone with Similar Energy Levels or Expectations

-
Image
I was discussing with a friend few days ago when the idea hit me to really share this blog post because I feel it's important people in relationships know this. Now for a second, imagine two people in love. Let's call them Romeo and Juliet. Romeo really loves Juliet and she also loves him just as much. But their relationship isn't going great despite the love they have for each other. Juliet calls Romeo on a daily basis to check up on her. To her, that's how she expresses that she loves and cares for him. She also makes efforts to see him regularly.  Romeo on the other hand despite loving Juliet, doesn't want to call her every day. He only wants to speak to her once or twice a week. Calling someone twice a week for Romeo is the height of loving someone as he isn't really into calls. To him his biggest expression of his genuine love can only allow him want to hear from her twice a week. At some point Juliet begins to worry and think about why she has to

Don't Sacrifice Your Own Happiness

-

It is impossible to successfully make other people happy when you're unhappy yourself. It's important that we all understand the fact that our own happiness is very important. Most people would like to buy into the idea of sacrificing their own happiness so that other people will be happy. I think this idea is flawed because in sacrificing your own happiness, you end up unhappy while trying to make other people happy. Does it make sense to you? Why do we often forget that it's very possible to make other people happy while also being

Nothing Comes For Free

-

A lot of people complain that they don't have some things they really deserve or that despite their hardest work, they achieve very little. Therefore, they are discouraged in whatever they do and tend to stop giving out their best. For some other people, it appears that they do very little work and all the money is following them. They don't have to stress themselves like others, but money just keeps chasing them. "Why is life this way?" they ask. "Life is not fair. " they scream. Some start trying to explain it by saying its the hands of fate and not everyone has the same destiny. When they're satisfied with whatever excuse they've cooked up, they're comforted in their misery and quit trying. Here's the truth... Life is completely fair. Life has been so well arranged that everyone gets exactly what they deserve. It appears some people have it easier when you only look at where they are presently.

The Definition Of A True Woman

-

Previously, I wrote an article on the definition of a true man . It would be fair enough to also write and article for the women who read this blog. Women are beautiful, lovely and sensitive creatures way different from men in a lot of things both mentally and physically. They are special in their own way and also play very important roles in our society. Just like in the case of the men, value systems seem to be changing for women too. Most women seem to rate themselves these days based mainly on their looks. They spend so much time and money in ensuring they look very good, clean and posh. They can do anything to look attractive and get attention. Some even go to the extent of almost going nude on social media just to feel good about themselves and get reassuring likes . Painfully, most of these same women don't pay attention to what is inside of them. They often neglect the unseen qualities which make them who they truly are. There are some women who boast about

Don't Beg For Anything

-
Image
This article is dedicated to all the motivated people out there who are willing to put in the required effort and work to get whatever they desire. You should never beg for anything. Whenever you beg for anything, you simply say that you don't deserve it and you're depending on someone's mercy to give it to you. Begging is a loser's mentality. A loser is too dependent on other people's choices to get what he/she wants and that's why they usually don't have what they want. This is because the person or persons whom they beg can choose to waste time before giving to them or even not give them at all. Beggars have no choice. And guess what? Choice is the best gift that man has to direct his life to what he wants. So when you beg, you throw away your power of choice. And when you throw it away, you have automatically lost because you are no more in control of anything. This is why winners never beg. Winners deserve whatever they get because they were

Thoughts on Freewill and Predestination

-
During the years when I questioned everything relating to all of my beliefs and went into personal enquiry to find my own answers on various topics. There was one question that I asked myself which relates to religion. The question was this: "If God knows everything (past, present and future), then it would imply that he already knows where we would end up in eternity regardless of what we do on earth. Do we really have the freewill then to make our own choices as the scripture says?" One of the basic tenets of Christianity is that God knows everything. (Ps 139:2-4, Heb 4:13, 1 John 3:20). Another tenet is the gift of our freewill to choose right from wrong (Gal 5:13). So this question was one of those that questions that appeared to contradict different aspects of scripture. Thankfully I found an answer many years ago that was suitable for me. And before I share that answer I would like to share the reason why I remembered this question. A social media user had this question
