MAXIMISING HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS*

*MAXIMISING HOLIDAYS AND WEEKENDS*

_Key Bible Text:_
*Walk in wisdom toward them that are without, redeeming the time.* (Colossians  4:5)

_Bible Insight:_

For personal development to take place, there is a need for you to spend quality time. Personal development is not something that would jump at you. You must take a conscious effort to do certain selected activities. Did I just hear you say that there is no time? Well, that is why we all have holidays and weekends.

Some years ago, we had an NYSC member who came for her Youth Service with WiGRadio, she decided that apart from work, you wanted to learn a new skill which was tailoring. That was the aspect of personal development she was looking at. By the time she was completing her youth service, she had not only become well skilled at sewing but she was also good enough to sew for me and for a few people at WiGRadio. Of course she got paid. When did she learn these things? On her CDS days.

Another lady came for one year industrial training with us at WiGRadio after that. She had also heard the story of Corper Edwina and had been interested in learning about sewing. Without discussing with anyone, she started attending a fashion training school during the weekends and on public holidays when we did not have work to do. The last time I checked her whatsapp status, I saw many wonderful clothes that Omowunmi had sewn.

When was the last time you learnt a new skill? You might say "but I am not interested in fashion designing", yes I know! Whatever area you want to develop yourself, all you need to do is to go online now. You can learn a lot of new things on YouTube. As a student, you can learn photography online and patiently wait until you get a camera. If you hear of a training that comes up during a public holiday, maximise it. 

*MEDITATION:*
*"Stop using your weekends and holidays to just sleep as a student. There is more that you can do. Today is Saturday, what are your plans for today? Do you just want to sleep and have a nice time? You can do more. You can decide to use today to develop yourself and become a better individual.*
