A collection of blog posts about personal development. Here, Zamai Banje writes and discusses personal development and how it affects young individuals.
In 2017, I first got introduced to Jon Bellion through his hit single, “All time low” and since then, I have become a loyal fan (a.k.a Bellionaire) till date.
Jonathan ‘Jon’ Bellion
Jonathan ‘Jon’ Bellion has been able to bring a unique and thoughtful style of music through his lyrics, energy and how his mind works. As a song writer, producer, singer and child of God, Jon successfully built a loyal fan base, coupled with hundreds of million streams on his music albums.
Personally, his 2016 album, “The Human Condition” is still the best album in terms of composition, and meaning. Even the outro on the album, “Hand of God” has to be the grandest finale in music history.

Indeed, Jon Bellion is worthy of emulation and a creative force to reckon with. That’s why I coined out seven tips we can learn from how this beautiful mind (wordplay intended) approaches music.
Here we go…
1. HAVE AN EXTREME LOVE FOR WHAT YOU DO
Jon Bellion is crazily passionate about music and clearly showcases it in his workflow and songs produced. In his interviews and documentaries, he is dubbed as the artist who uses ‘the human voice as an instrument’.

In his early days, Jon was responsible for the vocals, instrumentals, lyrics and even minor ad-libs of his songs. This speaks highly of his drive for excellence and unique sound synonymous with his music.
FYI: it’s important to find that one thing you are good at and love to do at the same time. The Japanese call it “Ikigai”. This is your true calling.
If you have not found it yet, cultivate a welcoming love for what you currently do. You can do this by gathering knowledge, and developing a curious nature in that particular field.
Keep the huge boundless energy for the work you love to do.
2. FIND CIRCLES OF FRIENDS WHO SHARE THE SAME PASSION IN YOUR DESIRED FIELD
After listening to Jon Bellion’s songs a dozen times, I noticed some familiar voices throughout the course of his musical journey.

This includes other talented artists like Blaque Keyz, Vice and some others. While they play only small roles (e.g ad-libs and short rap verses) in his songs, it’s obvious Jon spends a lot of time on and off his studio sessions with these guys.
FYI: So dear, there will always be time when the creative juice is not flowing. That’s what this circle of friends is for. These guys will always be there to pull you through. They will be there to cheer you during your success. These set of friends will also be there to laugh and correct your mistakes.
Always be on the lookout for such people. You can find them in related communities or random events related to your chosen field. And when you find them, don’t let them go. Also prepare to offer value to them too.
This brings us to the third advice:
3. DEVELOP YOURSELF BEFORE FORMING OR JOINING A TEAM
Yeah, this is an advice most young people like you and I fail to understand. Guys have rushed into sour partnerships because they failed to assess their strength and that of their teammates.
Cover art for ‘Weight of the World’ music single
I am a huge believer in collaboration and I strongly believe everyone has to bring something to the table. Collaboration is truly achieved when all parties benefit from each other. Hence, a group is only as strong as its weakest link.
So develop yourself first before forming that dream team. Acquire the necessary skills. Build the portfolio. Achieve something independently before seeking interdependence.
In this context, your vision becomes clearer to others once they see what you are already building.
In the case of Jon Bellion, there is a huge difference between his previous albums and his most recent – Glory Sound Prep (GSP). The latest album was more organised, sophisticated and mature as a result of his collaboration with other artistes. Same goes for his acoustic songs done with groups of instrumentalists.
The reason is simple. Collaboration works best when each member of the team is good. Your enthusiasm and objective is also shared and achieved when there’s clear proof of what you’ve done.
I always want to approach records from where it feels very graspable. You know what the song’s about, but it’s presented to you in a way that’s like, ‘I never heard something like this before,’ but it doesn’t push you away.

4. LEARN TO DRAW INSPIRATION FROM OTHER INTERESTS
Jon Bellion once said, he gets inspired by watching a Pixar movie on silent and listening to Nas. He clearly expresses his other interests and influences to produce the music he wants to do.

Besides, I first got drawn to the well-illustrated and visually appealing cover of the Human Condition album. (And I am a lover of animations too.)
FYI: I hope this shows that you can combine your interests into your current work. After all, originality is simply the refinement of old ideas in a new and creative way.
5. SHARE YOUR VULNERABILITY IN YOUR WORK
Another beautiful trait of Jon Bellion’s music is how honest and relatable his lyrics are.
Cover art for ‘iRobot’ music single
Honesty. Empathy. Relatability. These values are essential.
So when sharing your work, always remember to add a personal touch of vulnerability and openness. People love to relate with who they understand. They want to understand how you make them feel. Trigger those emotions by being open to them.
We are all attracted to success stories because of the struggles they faced before triumphing.
So learn to share yours. Because it is one of the ways your audience can connect with you on a deeper level.
“Although I guess if I knew tomorrow-I guess I wouldn’t need faith,
I guess if I never fell, I guess I wouldn’t need grace,
I guess if I knew His plans, I guess He wouldn’t be God”
Jon Bellion, Maybe IDK
6. SEE YOUR WORK AS A JOURNEY
I guess this is why I am still stuck to the melody of Jon Bellion. For instance, the hook of ‘Want to be Loved’ (2011) goes like this:
See we just want to be loved, is that so much to ask? See we just want to be loved, is that so much to ask? See I just want to be loved, is that so much to ask? See I just want to be, see I just want to be loved
Then, in 2018, the chorus of “Stupid Deep” goes like this:
What if who I hoped to be was always me? And the love I fought to feel was always free? What if all the things I’ve done Were just attempts at earning love? Yeah ‘Cause the hole inside my heart is stupid deep, oh, stupid deep.
Artwork for ‘Growth’ – Jon Bellion
This alone signifies improvement in his music and outlook towards life. Coincidentally, Jon Bellion has an album titled ‘Growth’, a collection of previous songs before the GSP album.
FYI: In life, there are several phases. When you’re young, you are currently in a phase too. It’s important to enjoy the moments in each phase. Acknowledge the fact that Excellence is an act. It’s a process. Learn to document it as you go on.
Conversations with my Father and he’s telling me There’s a point in making memories ‘Cause they’ll be even better when we’re heavenly
Jon Bellion, Mah’s Joint
You are now at the best part. Here is my most important tip from Jon Bellion.
7. HAVE FAITH, BELIEVE IN GOD AND HAVE A SENSE OF PURPOSE
I came to the realization that I’m a child of God, and that’s my identity. If this all goes tomorrow, I don’t have the proverbial rug under me that can be pulled out. I’m taken care of, and there’s someone who loves me.
– Jon Bellion.
Artwork for ‘Hand of God’ music single
Yeah, I was glad to know Jon self-identifies as a child of God. This makes his songs more memorable and appealing. He preaches a message bigger than himself through his music.
So in sum,
When you’re lost in the universe, lost in the universe Don’t lose faith My mother says, “Your whole life’s in the hand of God”…
Jon Bellion, Hand of God
Have Faith. Believe in God. Have a sense of purpose.
With this mindset, you will approach your life and work with long-term thinking and wider perspective.
Life becomes more satisfying and eternity becomes inevitable.

Have you ever felt like time was overwhelming or out of control? Have you struggled towards getting what you want and it seemed like there was no way out?
There might have been some dark days when you felt time wasn’t and would never be enough no matter how hard you tried. Well, let’s not conclude on that yet cause here lies all the strategies you need to make the desires of your heart reality.
Time is an element of Life that doesn’t stop, fast forward or rewind; it just is. Once wasted or carelessly used, it cannot be retrieved but one can always make adjustments to repair the past with the present in order to make strategies for the future.
Time management is the conscious act of planning and organizing specific activities over a specific timeline. Nobody actually has the ability to control time but everyone has the power to control what they do with time so time management is a skill that every interested person can master.
Time is an element of Life that doesn’t stop, fast forward or rewind; it just is. Once wasted or carelessly used, it cannot be retrieved but one can always make adjustments to repair the past with the present in order to make strategies for the future.
Every successful individual or organization has embedded in their structure, the value for time. The popular saying “Time is money” signifies that the proper use of time is what creates the value for money if wisely channeled.
WHY YOU NEED TO MANAGE YOUR TIME TODAY.

Time management is a stress reliever. It is an antidote for procrastination. It has an outstanding way of eliminating anxiety. It takes away the feeling that you’ve lost control and rewards you with even more time to spend playing video games or doing whatever you do for fun.
Time management helps you reach your dreams and goals faster with so much ease. Time is like the journey to a destination; a destination which is your dream and goal.
Every activity you engage in are the steps that you take in that journey. The problem is that most people never take any step towards their destination.
Time management is the fuel that drives and guides all the steps (activities) towards that destination. If you take the right step in the right direction, you’d reach your destination (goal or dream) sooner than you expect.
No matter how small the steps are, if consistency is applied you are guaranteed to reach your goal.
LIFE CHANGING TIME MANAGEMENT STRATEGIES
Below are six unique strategies that have been used by people of all ages to manage time and get everything they desired.
CLARIFY YOUR GOALS

The first and most important aspect of reaching that destination is to know exactly where you are going. You must clarify what it is that you want to spend the asset called time on. Definition of purpose is reaching the purpose half way.
Stating your goals, dreams or desires allows you to Identify your specific destination which is different from somebody else’s. One way to do this is to write the goals you want to achieve whether long or short term.
BREAK YOUR GOAL INTO SPECIFIC PIECES.
The surest way to eat an elephant is to first cut it piece by piece. Now that you have your specific goals outlined, take time to break these goals into tasks or activities. These are the steps to your destination and they are very important as they make up the journey.
For example, let’s take a goal to be “Get a job in a month”, your activities would look similar to these;
– Apply for 5 jobs a day – Watch 1 YouTube video daily on how to ace a job interview. – Read 1 article on a job hunt site. – Rewrite Resumé. – Start an online course to increase skills.
Make sure to keep the tasks basic, easy and add fun to it. Make it Interesting so you don’t burn out.
CREATE A TO-DO LIST AND STICK TO IT.

A to-do list is a wonderful guide to reaching all your goals. It is a map to your destination; a graphical pattern of how time should be wisely spent.
A to-do list actually changed my life. I write my to-do list a night before the next day, sleep over the thought, wake up the next morning, go through it and kick off with the right energy (because it was written a night before, my subconscious mind prepares for it by the next day).
This simple technique drew me faster to my goals and I achieved them sooner than I expected. Start a to-do list, write 10 basic activities to engage in for the day, stick to it and watch the magic happen.
PRIORITIZE YOUR TASKS.
Prioritizing the tasks in your to-do list helps to utilize maximum energy for the most important tasks. From my personal experience, I divide my tasks into A, B and C.
The ‘A’ tasks are the most important tasks. I do these tasks in the morning because that is my most creative and most focused state of mind.
The ‘B’ tasks are necessary tasks with milder consequences. This I do at noon times.
The “C” tasks are tasks that can be delegated. Something with little or no consequences but still needs to be done. I do these tasks in the evenings and I usually add my leisure activities here.
You can adopt this strategy or find something that works for you, but make sure you do your most important tasks at your highest time of creativity.
FOCUS ON ONE TASK AT A TIME.
While multitasking helps you do a lot of activities at a time, it reduces the quality of the work done. So, I recommend monotasking. Quality over work done is a truck-load of value and satisfaction. It actually saves you more time because the chances of errors are limited, you wouldn’t need to come back and redo them.
Performing one task at a time prompts high level of concentration. The more you practice monotasking, the more you’d master speed and accuracy which is invaluable.
ASK YOURSELF “WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO DO NOW”

“Now” is the name of time. “Now” is what you can always control. “Now” is when you can make all the choices, not “before” and not “after”. If you always use this very moment wisely, then you’ve mastered life and time altogether.
At those moments when you might drift away from your to-do list, ask yourself “what is the best use of my time now” and you would always come up with the best answer.
“Now” is the name of time. “Now” is what you can always control. “Now” is when you can make all the choices, not “before” and not “after”. If you always use this very moment wisely, then you’ve mastered life and time altogether.
Make the decision to follow each strategy outlined in this article “now” if you are really keen about starting the journey to getting the things you want and you will surely be amazed at the wonderful outcome.
These strategies here have been used in different formats by highly successful people of the past and present. If you want to be called successful, then take the same actions of successful men and women.
After publishing the post, “Paradoxes and Parodies of Life,” a friend reached out to me via WhatsApp and what happened afterwards was nothing short of incredible.
We discussed on some other interesting concepts of life and it was nice seeing her own perspective on life itself. That’s what I am going to share today. With her permission, I decided to share our conversation in this post:
P.S: I had to transcribe her voicenotes to written form and most of the fillers (lol) have been removed for easy reading. The headings were inserted to maintain the theme of the post. Nonetheless, Her conversation style, spontaneity and rush of emotions are still retained. This dialogue is also on a first name basis. So I am Zamai, and my friend is Diana.
I hope you learn something too. . .

THE CONVERSATION, CONNECTION AND YOU
Diana: Lovely Post Zamai, (Read previous post here) Do you have some questions you are looking for? About life?
Zamai: You’re welcome. I think so. But I’m figuring them out as time goes on.
Diana: That’s beautiful. You wanna talk about them?
Zamai: Apart from the ones I wrote down. There is also the concept of intimacy and independence. It seems the stronger a person’s independence, the more his/her ability to build intimate relationships is also stronger. Any idea on this?
Zamai (continues): There is also religion and spirituality. The more organised the religion, the lesser the spirituality or close personal relationship with the deity in that religion. How come the rules or doctrines hinder spirituality?
INTIMACY, INDEPENDENCE AND YOU
Diana: Let’s talk about it then (smiley emoji)
Zamai: Alright..
Diana: I think that the stronger a person’s Independence, the stronger the person’s choices because that person is making all the choice and is responsible for all the outcome of that choice.
Diana (continues): If the person is disciplined, the process of learning discipline teaches that person how to preserve things that are important.
If that person considers relationships with people important (which naturally is important), he makes good choices towards how he treats people. He can defend his choice. Since he is independent, he filters other people’s judgement through discipline and some how makes a lot of good choice if not all.
When my family still had control over me, they’d tell me who to associate with, most times without reason and because they provide my daily bread, I wouldn’t care to fight.
But immediately I learnt how to provide my own daily bread, I automatically because independent. I learnt how to provide my daily bread with discipline. Now they don’t make choices for me, now they make suggestions and I decide.
Zamai: True. This part is relatable.
Diana: Now they are forced to even give me reasons to back their suggestion (laughter emoji). Cause now, it has to make sense to me first. I think that’s one angle which I understand it from.
Zamai: Yeah. Totally true. Okay. Magnificent. I understand this angle. So how has your independence affected your relationships in recent times? Especially the intimate ones.
Diana: Awesome!!! I am currently in a relationship with someone I want to spend my life with. I have even better relationship with my family. With people I meet after two seconds (laughter emojis).
I like people on the spot and somehow it magically boomerangs back to me and I’m almost constantly sharing values with people.
Zamai: Hehehe. Very valid points. So you have not had any situations where you battle within yourself whether to give up control (or something) to the other person even if you can do it yourself.
Diana: I actually base such decisions on love. And communication. I try to not make any decision myself as long as someone else is involved. So we talk about it.
I think that dealing with people requires sufficient communication. It has a way of making things clear and easy. When I communicate, I begin to see what that person considers important and what the person really want. Then we both reach a decision on how to go about it with compromises.
Diana (continues): The questions are; What do I want? What does this person what? How do we achieve both? Can I sacrifice what I want to make this person happy? Lol. Like that. Most times I sacrifice because the person’s happiness is what is important to me.
I think that dealing with people requires sufficient communication. It has a way of making things clear and easy. When I communicate, I begin to see what that person considers important and what the person really want.
Diana
What do you think about this? What’s your ideology about it?
Zamai: This solutions here… This part is great. So for me, it’s about choices. And responses we give to them. Like you wrote earlier, independence breeds discipline. And this is really key in building good relationships. Especially on the aspects of controlling emotions.
This in turn affects intimacy. It sounds contradictory at the beginning. But gaining more control (independence) allows you share this control (intimacy) in a more efficient way.
Diana: Very true. Gaining control is very powerful. It’s also Important that we note that all of this should be love based.
Diana (continues): I think there are two directions on life. Love and hate. Good and bad. Faith and fear. Choosing love is like being on the winning team.
Zamai: What’s exactly the game we plan on winning? Life itself. Or the joys of life? Or the afterlife?
Diana: All. “I can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens me”. No limitations. Our human mindset always wants us to believe we can’t have it all. We can have all we want and our previous mindset has a deep root on fear.
I think there are two directions on life. Love and hate. Good and bad. Faith and fear. Choosing love is like being on the winning team.
Diana
RELIGION, RELATIONSHIP AND YOU
Diana: We can talk about this yeah?
Zamai: Yes. This is the second question.
Diana: Okay. I believe Religion takes us to God right? I personally believe Religion like every other system is faulty. It’s faulty because it gives you limits and makes you judge other people.
Diana (continues): I was very depressed last year. I actually thought of suicide a couple times. I was depressed cause I found no meaning for Life. I looked everywhere but saw flaws all around me. Things in church that had no way to define the Commandment Jesus left us with. “Love God and love your neighbor as yourself”. I had a near death experience
And everything about my life changed. This is the fulfilling of life. But this is one thing that most religion fail to address, except some like buddism. Lol
Religion these days actually do the exact opposite of what God is fighting for. Sadly. They judge appearance, clothes, even before they get to meet the real person. The person on the Inside. The person that really matters.
Instead of love, religion now focuses on judgement. People now think their religion is better than other people’s religion. And judgement makes man far from God. Not because God is far, but because man feels God is far because of his sins.
God doesn’t care about so many things. He cares about who we are on the inside. That’s what he sees. I don’t know how to make my point whole.
Zamai, I found God.
Like I actually did. We talk. But I found him at my lowest point in life. I found him not anywhere else in the world but Inside myself. Inside my mind. Inside my heart. Inside my conscience. I found him when I was in my deepest sin
Diana (still continues): And from that day till today, not once has he judged me. His voice is still and He has so much love in all his ways. He understands that Life is not easy and he wants to guide us. He made me drop all my sins one after the other at my own pace, revelation and understanding.
And guess what, those sins had nothing to do with my appearance or the songs I listen to or anything external. They had to do with anger, hate, greed and stuff.
Diana (pauses): Lol, did I even make any sense?. This has been the hardest thing for me to explain cause it’s not what can be seen.
Zamai: Yes. You totally did. The inner value system. The change was all about the changing the core. The real core.
Diana: Yes. Lemme explain something to you. And I pray with all my heart that God reveals what I have to explain to you. And that He grant you unlimited access to divine understanding. Amen.

WORDS, WORLDS AND YOU
Diana: Words are powerful. Words. Look around the word, We humans are the only creatures that can generate worlds.
Zamai: Amen. I’m still here.
Diana: We constantly generate words in our heads. No animal can do that. That’s the major difference between us and animals. Our minds is always speaking. Non-ending. Even when our body sleeps, our subconscious doesn’t. That ability to mentally generate words is what makes us equal. The blind, the dumb, the weak, the deaf…. All of us can think.
This is the Dominion that God gave us. Words. Look around you. Books. Songs. Movies. Anything. All words. Where do these words keep coming from in our heads, we don’t know. But they don’t stop coming
Are you with me? You want to create an invention, you put words together, you call other people, they put words together… Boom!!! We have a new app.
This is the Dominion that God gave us. Words. Look around you. Books. Songs. Movies. Anything. All words.
Diana
Zamai: Yes. I’m still with you. Epiphany right here.
Diana: Adam and Eve left the garden of Eden with just words and the clothes God made for them. And look at life today. Words have managed to evolve civilization, and created the world that we live in today. When God created Adam in his image and likeness, He created him in image as in structure. But in likeness, he breath himself into Adam.
Diana (continues): And who is he? He is God. What does God mean? God means “I am”. “I am” is who I am at every moment. I am is the word that keeps coming in our minds. Continously. Every single second, dozens of “I am” (words) are being generated all over the planet. “The words that I speak to you, they are spirit and they are life”. “In the beginning was the word and the word was with God and the word was God”. “Let there be light….
Diana (continues): Words. Now, Adam was in the garden and he had words. But he only had positive understanding of words. Only had love. Only knew Good. So whatever he said, he said it out of love. His words were sufficient. He still had all the vocabulary of words. He had sex, he had fuck probably. He had all words. But he only understood words through the eyes of love and good.
So everything he spoke was good because his intentions were good. There was no bad because there was absence of bad understanding. And then he ate the fruit from the knowledge of Good and Evil.
And now there’s a problem. Because now all the words are still the same but now they are not automatically good intentions. Now he has to choose an intention for every single generation of word. And that was the fall of man

Zamai: Because of bad usage of his words..?
THE BEGINNING, THE END AND YOU
Diana (transcribed from voice note): If you notice, Adam was not restricted to eat from the tree of life, or the tree of understanding. He was not restricted from that. He was only told, “Don’t eat from the tree of Good and Evil.” If he had eaten from the tree of life, he would have been born again, just the way Jesus Christ wants us to be born again, where we gain understanding of life.
So he would have understood that God is good and He had to always choose Good just as God always chooses Good. Because He (God) is good. He is love. He would have understood that but Adam did not eat from the Tree of Life; he did not eat from the Tree of Understanding which would have helped him.
Now there is a problem. There is Good and Bad but there is no understanding of what good is and of what bad is. And there is no understanding of how to use the intentions or how to use love to measure good and bad. And that’s the problem. From Adam till Jesus. That’s being a big problem
Diana (sends the second voice note): Because now Man understands, he now has understanding of good and bad. Man now has mixture of darkness and light. Good and Bad.
There is no understanding of how to use the intentions or how to use love to measure good and bad. And that’s the problem.
Diana
Now he has to make a choice. To be good or bad. You get? And darkness cannot exist where there is light. That’s why he could not stay in Garden of Eden. Not because God didn’t want him to say, but because it was no longer possible to stay.
Imagine, when God came back, and he (Adam) said, I cannot come out because I am naked. He was no longer free with God. Now he has the choice to make. There is now ‘bad’ in the dictionary. There is now darkness because this knowledge brought darkness. Adam could no longer be around God because there is light, darkness cannot comprehend it. Darkness cannot stay there.
It’s not as if God didn’t say, don’t come. That darkness in Adam simply could not be around Him, so God had to send him out. Yet God gave Adam clothes, because God still loved him.
Diana (sends the last voice note): And God kept trying. God doesn’t come down as a human being to try stuff. God comes through humans. God comes through our minds. He speaks through us. God does not magically appear on Earth. This is because the world cannot comprehend him. The world will not be able to stand his presence.
That’s why we cannot see God.
Because of knowledge. That sin. That darkness would not be able to withstand the presence of light, so God kept talking through different people. He used different generations and their beliefs to crave understanding. For instance, God used Moses to appeal to the beliefs of Israelites. That’s how he kept going and going. Until God had to come by Himself.
And God kept trying. God doesn’t come down as a human being to try stuff. God comes through humans. God comes through our minds. He speaks through us.
Diana
The Bible says, “And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among men.” God had to come. God the son. He had come in the flesh as the Word. So Jesus Christ is the Word of God. Jesus Christ is good. He is love. That’s why He is perfect. That’s it.
So if you really look at it, sin is knowledge. Before I accepted this ideology, I had a lot of fights. A lot of war. I was scared because what I was understanding was not out in this world.
I kept hearing, “Don’t be scared,” and immediately I heard that, I knew that was God. I knew He would not want me to be scared. I really do hope that….
Zamai: It’s obvious you now have the answers to Life itself. This part right here (a reply to the second voice note). It clears all doubts.
Diana: Lol, And He wants you to have it too. He knows you had been searching. To all who ask and seek, answers are given.
Zamai: I am still searching. I’ve always been searching.
Diana: I believe He comes to us differently.
Diana: Before you search, ask him to give you answers. That simple act of asking makes all the difference. Because on our own, life is so embedded in a whole lot of stuff that it could drive us nuts.
Zamai: Yeah. The complexity of every day Life has made us forget the simple stuff.
Diana: Exactly!
Zamai: This is probably my last question. For now.
THE PACT, THE PATH AND YOU
So what’s the way forward? How do we maintain this relationship with God?
Diana: Listen. Learn to listen to your heart speak. Then love. Love is the greatest force. The simplest journey is to start by loving people as much as you love yourself. From there, you’d see a lot of magic.
God will begin to take you through steps, trials and He’d reward your love with eternal life.
