Weekend Bits || The Budding Wings Event + Notes On Living In Purpose.

On saturday, I attended the budding wings event put together by some of my faves – Kunmi Oni, Ibukun Akinnawo and Ibukun Awosika.
I knew I had to be there immediately I got the mail from Kunmi, saying she was hosting an event because like I already mentioned in this post – #WCE!
I almost let laziness stop me from going that day, but I was glad I didn’t because I learnt a lot from the event.

Living in purpose isn’t just about making money and being famous or successful, its really about living according to God’s will.Click to tweet!

Kunmi talked on living in purpose and it was really insightful. She came prepared with worksheets, that we had to fill during the event. The work sheet was really key and asked a lot of deep questions to help us evaluate our lives, understand and find our purpose as well.
She made us understand that the fact that everything is going so well in our lives currently isn’t a benchmark for evaluating if we are really walking in purpose, and that living in purpose isn’t just about making money and being famous or successful, its really about living according to God’s will and also making sure that whatever we do gives glory to God.

There were also talks on time management and saving/personal finance by Ibukun Akinnawo and Ibukun Awosika respectively. Ibukun Akinnawo is the founder of IPA – A virtual personal assistance platform, while Ibukun Awosika is the founder of design label fiberrose

I had my blog planner handy to do some jottings and even made savings and time management plans for myself and my blog during the event.

Some of the things I took note of for myself was that :
– Saving with a goal makes it harder for you to dip into your savings. I realized that I actually have lots of things I would love to buy and should save for, but I don’t really save for them per se. I just save because I like to know that I have some extra cash in the bank.
I made a list of those things and I’m now actively working on them. If I was saving with goals in mind, I would have gotten a new camera by now. Smh
I also decided to make a separate account that I won’t spend out of to actively save for these things.

– I need to develop a better morning routine. I usually wake up and go straight to my phone to read mails, pray when I remember to (working on this though) and hop out of bed. I’m now trying to manage my time better and create a system that helps me do this well.

My introvert self reared its ugly head again during the event, just when I was beginning to think that I had made massive progress in that area. It was a good event regardless, just the right size for me. Lol and I hope they put together another one soon.

My events hopping life is slowing down because like I mentioned in my last weekend bits post, getting around to these events can be a bit costly and then you go to just look around and go back home. Not like I actually go to lots of events, but its reducing a lot more now.
So on Sunday, I just went to church – that’s a picture of Daystar Christian Centre’s healing stream (choir) and later went to see the movie suicide squad that everyone has been giving bad reviews. It actually wasn’t all that had!
I really wanted to go the zinkata store launch I mentioned in this post, but I’m choosing what to spend on and cab fee up and down Lagos isn’t the wisest choice.

I also got my package from infinix and Its the new infinix hot S. I haven’t played around with it or even opened it up because I want to do an unboxing video first and I’ve been trying to decide what platform to use – instastories or snapchat.
