Insight By Jael

Life's journey is not always smooth; it's filled with peaks and valleys, moments of joy, and moments of hardship. In these trying times, finding solace and strength often becomes a paramount pursuit. For most of us, turning to our faith and trusting in a higher power, like God, always offers a guiding light that helps us navigate the darkness and those hard times. Tough times can take various forms – from personal struggles like health issues, loss of loved ones, or financial challenges, to broader societal crises that impact communities and nations. These moments of adversity can test our limits, leaving us feeling overwhelmed and vulnerable. It's during these very moments that trusting in God can provide us with the hope and strength that we need.  Trusting in God doesn't necessarily mean that all our problems will disappear miraculously. Instead, it offers a perspective shift and a source of comfort and strength that helps us endure hardships with resilience. When w...

I have seen people write letters to their younger selves.  I have done that and I am sure wherever that baby girl is, she is definitely contented and peaceful. So, here is a letter to myself, I promised myself at the beginning of the year that I would only write good things about myself for this whole year. Dear beautiful Jael, How have you been? How is being 25 taking you? Baby girl, you are in your season of success and growth. I love that you have been able to be resilient for the past two months. I love that you are more positive toward life and that you are thriving in everything that you do. Have you looked in the mirror lately?

Manifesting a continuous internal peace and calmness. Wadau, I've never been this calm and peaceful in my life. I am in a beautiful season where nothing bothers me, nothing is stressing me at the moment. Yes, I have a thousand and one worries but I think I finally learned the art of being calm amidst chaos and not stressing myself over things that I can't control. It's been ages since I cried myself to sleep. It's been a long time since I felt like giving up on life and dying. But please allow me to clap for myself... Also, clap for me wherever you are cos I feel like I had to do a lot of self-work to get to where I am right now, or does happiness and calmness come with age? I don't know, you tell me. What I love about myself in this season of calmness is the attitude of not letting anything ruin my inner peace. I do not listen to negativity and I am now looking at the glass being half full. I allow myself to make mistakes and still clap for myself when I tried my b...
