September Book Review: A Short, Practical Read on Habits, Routines & Growth.

-

It was a sunny Sunday afternoon, and I was headed out to hang out with my book buddies. Little did I know that our September book pick would quickly become one of my new favorites and a personal growth book I’ll be recommending for a long time. 

The review was both onsite and online, and from the energy of the discussions to the lessons from the book itself, I left feeling motivated, equipped, and pumped to form new habits. 

I wore my favorite  straw hat, It was either that or a sunshade .I decided  to go with the straw hat because  it complemented my lovely dress and yes, I must mention my lovely dress, which (by the way) was a thoughtful gift from a friend it made the afternoon even more special.




Why This Book Stood Out

This September book review was refreshing because the book was:

Easy to read – no heavy jargon, just simple and relatable writing.

Practical – filled with illustrations that mirror real life.

Short but impactful – every chapter had a clear takeaway.


One of the standout lessons for me was the power of routines. The author showed how small, consistent habits can shape long-term success, and it made me rethink how I structure my daily activities.

A Favorite Quote

Books often leave us with one or two lines that stick forever. For me, it was this:

“Some people you spend 3 minutes with, others 3 hours and both can change your life in different ways.”



This line  from the book reminded me of the value of intentional connections and how time, whether short or long can create impact if used wisely.



The Book Club Experience

One of the best things about being part of a growth-oriented book club is not just reading the book, but also learning from others readers  perspectives. During this review session, I gained fresh insights from fellow readers that made the book even richer.

We shared our thoughts, took pictures, enjoyed light refreshments, and left feeling uplifted. Between the inspiring conversations and my confidence-boosting outfit, it truly was an afternoon to remember.

Why I Recommend This Read

If you’re searching for a book that is light, practical, and inspiring, this one deserves a spot on your list. It’s the kind of self-help book that pushes you to take action immediately rather than just think about it.

And if you don’t yet have a group that keeps you accountable in your reading journey, what are you waiting for? Maybe this is your cue to join a book club that’s growth-oriented and discover how much more fun and powerful reading can be.



Final Thoughts
This September book review reminded me that the right book, read with the right community, can spark lasting change. From the power of routines to practical life lessons, I walked away not just inspired but also challenged to step up my game.

Until the next pick here’s to books that make us better (and friends who gift us lovely dresses)

    Internally displaced persons (IDPs) in Borno state  come to mind each time I think of the recent pandemic COVID 19. How much of social distancing can they practice? While you try to picture it  you should bear in mind that they live in camps  and are quiet a number.Today I would like to share a  really short story on this virus,.   A true story on COVID 19 in Maidugur i Borno state Nigeria     Halima is a Humanitarian worker working with an NGO in Maiduguri, going out to the field would have been like every other day but with all the news on COVID 19, today was different. She had to think of the IDPs who needed a lot of awareness on the Corona virus disease (COVID 19) and also her health. To prevent COVID 19 , there is need  to educate the IDPs on the virus and precautionary measures to avoid it.And someone has to do this, Halima and her team needed to do this. They were well received as usual,  the IDPs  seemed...

Today I'll like to talk about  my recent adventure.I have heard a few stories  of how magnificent this place  was, I was curious .I wanted to see for myself  too.so when the opportunity  presented itself through  my  friend  Isha and Alwan I grabbed  it like a hungry lion would grab his prey. I was not alone on this mission,we went with our fun team and trust me it was worth the journey. Half way into the journey  Alwan said “ hope you guys know that where we are headed to is a headquarters for terrorist?”I turned to see the reaction  of the rest of the  team, it was a mixed reaction in my opinion on the one hand it was fear of uncertainty  on the other hand it was excitement  of  the possibility of an adventure of a life time(our team can be that unrelenting) but then  Alwan quickly  added well that was in the past.So it’s safe. The welcoming Welcome        ...

WAITING TOO LONG

  Have you ever been in a position where you had to wait or stand on a queue for so long that you gave up? It can be so frustrating to wait for a long time to get something. Waiting for too long has caused many to run into a state of depression.     Stop looking out your window so anxiously for Prince charming to show up, there is so much you can do while prince charming is on his way. Do not get so soaked up in your current condition that your feet become too heavy to move. I mean never keep your whole life on hold because you are waiting for a contract, more kids, a better job or that call you imagine will change your life for good. When you become too worried and constantly think about your pain, you begin to lose the moment .Time is so precious and should not be wasted on the “unprofitable” such as worry. Waiting becomes Life threatening when you are unable to maintain the right attitude while you wait. Remember, a person may be far behind in a queue...
