Persuasion is an essential skill in both professional and personal life. Whether you are a business leader pitching a new idea, a teacher guiding students, or a friend offering advice, your ability to persuade can shape outcomes, influence decisions and build meaningful relationships. But persuasion is not about manipulation. At its core, it is about understanding others, building trust and communicating effectively. Understanding Persuasion Persuasion is more than just presenting logical arguments. It involves appealing to emotions, establishing credibility and aligning your message with your audience’s values. Aristotle defined persuasion through three key elements: ethos (credibility), pathos (emotional appeal) and…
Readings: Acts 15:1-2, 22-29; Psalm 67; Apocalypse 21:10-14, 22-23; John 14:23-29 Grace and peace be multiplied to you, my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord.

When used correctly, highlighter and concealer can elevate your makeup routine and give your face a refreshed, radiant look.

In a world that often celebrates independence, self-reliance, and individual achievement, it’s easy to fall into the belief that we must navigate life’s journey alone. But the truth is: life is not a solo event. From the moment we are born, we are part of a network of connections — family, friends, mentors, colleagues, even strangers who touch our lives in small but meaningful ways. These relationships shape us, support us, challenge us, and remind us that we are not isolated islands. The Myth of Self-Sufficiency Modern culture often romanticises the “self-made” individual — the person who, through sheer willpower…
It’s a question that has echoed through generations, often posed with a smile that masks the pressure behind it: “So, when will you marry?” Whether you’re at a family gathering, a friend’s wedding, or even just chatting with a well-meaning neighbour, the question can feel like a loaded one, especially if you’re not currently planning a wedding or even in a relationship.

Yet, people are…

In today’s fast-paced world, it’s easy to get caught up in worry and anxiety. Whether it’s concerns about our careers, relationships, health, or finances, worry can seem like a natural response to the challenges we face. However, while worry might be a common reaction, it’s essential to recognise that it’s not a strategy for achieving success. In fact, excessive worry can often hold us back, preventing us from reaching our full potential and living fulfilling lives.
