LekzMotivate (Introduction Post)

Hello Everyone,

Greetings. My name is Leke Somule and I grew up in London, England. I have a bachelor's degree in psychology and sociology. My passion for mental health led me to start a blog to share my thoughts and experiences so that I can positively impact many lives. It would be a real blessing for me to be able to impact the lives of more individuals through my understanding of people and their experiences.

It's likely that most of us feel lost half the time, with little to no guidance on the next steps to take. When we feel confused, we wonder what our purpose is, but I can tell you that as long as you are alive, you have a purpose and God's not done with you. It is up to us to decide who we are, how we want to live our lives, and how our destiny will unfold. I took 27 years to truly understand what my calling was. Others knew right away and some will discover it later in life, however, everything we face in life pushes us forward. There will be good and bad times in life, but it is important to avoid temptations and separate ourselves from negative people and thoughts.

The key to successfully making changes in our lives is to look in the mirror, to search within ourselves, and to understand what is holding us back. Most of us do not recognize our self-worth, self-value, or practice self-love. Whenever this happens, we allow others to take advantage of us, we self-sabotage, and we engage in activities that don't really reflect who we are. The good thing is that there is an answer to our problems, but it all starts by digging deep and really accepting that right now we are not the best versions of ourselves but know we have the power to change this. We can't let our mistakes define our present moments, we can't let the negative things people have told us in the past hold us back, but we can be honest with ourselves and open our minds in order to make the appropriate changes for a better life. You can start by gravitating to more positive things such as meeting new people, stepping out of our comfort zones by engaging in solo activities, watching positive videos on social media and most importantly practicing positive self-talk or trying different forms of therapy. We will gradually see changes in our perspectives and thought processes as a result. However, this does not mean that we will completely overcome our problems, we may backslide, that is absolutely okay, don't be too hard on yourself, you are still learning, be kind and gentle to yourself, dust yourself off, and keep going. It is my hope that this blog will help someone out there, and I will attempt to post regularly as I can.

Hello Family, It has been a while since i last posted. It most definitely has been a journey of ups and downs but I am really grateful that I am still alive and striving forward. I have found it really hard to find the drive to write again. There has been many moments where I felt like this was going to be the week but nothing came into fruition. I couldn't find the words to process how I was feeling. I am someone who is a natural problem solver I thought I could figure things out all on my own. However, the more I tried to do so the more I found myself going around in circles, I was missing what was right in front of me. I was too distracted when all God wanted me to do was be still. There has been one song constantly playing over and over in my head. "Make Room" by "The Church will sing", "Elyssa Smith & Community Music". I didn't understand why I was so drawn to this song until now. God has been trying to tell me to make room for him, his be

You are not a product of your setbacks

Many of us may have been raised in an environment or circumstance that makes us believe we are not good enough and for some of us our experiences may have led us to believe we will not amount to anything or that we are not worthy of happiness, love or freedom. Our belief systems/mindset at times can play a significant part in blocking the things that God has already spoken over our lives. We are at times robbed from happiness/confidence when we compare ourselves/circumstances to others, when we lack self-belief, when we do not have role models/mentors to guide us and sometimes due to bad company. All these factors and many more have an impact in the way we perceive ourselves and where we think we will end up in life.   While we are physically a product of our environment, we do have have to be a prisoners of the mentality of our environment. We are capable of achieving anything we put our minds, when we align our desires with God no one can take them away from you but you. There is so

Destiny helpers

First of all I wanted to say thank you to those that regularly tune into my blog post. It’s not easy doing what I do on a regular basis, it takes confidence and commitment which sometimes I don’t have, but I try my best to see the good in what I do for others. So I appreciate the time you spend tuning in.   The message today is "ensuring we are aligning ourselves with the right people", in other terms our "destiny helpers". People that serve a purpose in our lives. I previously spoke out this in my old post, but I think this message is so critical. Be watchful of how you move , not everyone has the right intentions for you but God assigns people to you that will push you to do better we just have to learn to receive them better. This maybe someone in your immediate circle or someone that you are meeting for the first time. It does it matter, don't let you past traumas or insecurities get the better of you. I know some people may have let you down in the past, bu
