Let’s be real, life is a journey, not a straight line. Some days you feel unstoppable, other days you just want to stay in bed. But if there’s one goal worth chasing, it’s becoming the best version of yourself not someone else, not what society expects you.
At LaliMotivates, we believe that becoming your best self doesn’t mean having it all figured out. It means showing up for yourself, learning as you go, and choosing growth one step at a time.
Here’s how you can start doing just that, starting today:
1. Know Yourself First
You can’t grow into your best self if you don’t know who you are. Ask yourself:
- What am I naturally good at?
- What makes me feel excited and alive?
- What do I really care about?
Take some quiet time to think about these. Write them down. Talk to someone you trust. Whether you’re a student in Nairobi or a young creative in Accra, your background doesn’t limit your future. The more you understand yourself, the clearer your path becomes.
2. Set Clear, Realistic Goals
Dreams are great, but without a plan, they stay dreams. Don’t overcomplicate it start small:
- Set daily or weekly goals.
- Break big plans into smaller steps.
- Track your progress and celebrate small wins.
Maybe your goal is to save money, start a side hustle, or improve your mental health. Whatever it is, give yourself direction. It’s okay if you don’t have everything figured out. Just take one step at a time.

3. Invest in Your Growth
Learning doesn’t stop in school. Read. Watch free tutorials. Take short online courses. Listen to podcasts. Find mentors, even if it’s someone you follow on social media who inspires you.
And it’s not just about business or academics—take care of your body, your emotions, your spiritual life too. A better you is a balanced you.
4. Surround Yourself with the Right People
“You become like the people you spend the most time with.”
Take a moment to think, are your friends helping you grow, or holding you back?
Surround yourself with people who push you to be better. Join groups or communities with the same values. If you’re surrounded by negativity, it’s okay to distance yourself. Protect your peace. You deserve it.

5. Be Consistent and Give Yourself Grace
Let’s be honest, motivation will come and go. The key is showing up even on the hard days.
- Some days you’ll crush it.
- Some days you’ll feel stuck.
That’s normal. Don’t beat yourself up. Just keep going. Be kind to yourself in the process. Growth takes time, and healing is part of becoming whole.
You don’t need to be perfect. You just need to be committed.
Final Thoughts
Becoming the best version of you isn’t about reaching a final destination. It’s about making daily choices that move you forward, even if it’s just a little bit.
Africa doesn’t just need more talent, it needs more people who believe in themselves. People who dare to dream, take action, and inspire others along the way.
That person can be you.
So take that first step. You’re not alone. LaliMotivates is here to walk with you.
Keep growing. Keep becoming. The best is yet to come.
