Success hinges on the quality of our inquiries and the responses we receive. As we reach the year's halfway point, it's crucial to evaluate our progress and identify strategies for overcoming past challenges.

What new approaches are you implementing this year to achieve greater success?

Remember, a dream without a plan is merely a wish. By asking the right questions, we can gain valuable insights and take inspired action.

In this episode of 'Mortal Expedition,' we explore the ten most essential questions to consider for a successful year.

Time travel is the stuff of science fiction but the desire is real.

Humanity has been obsessed with going back in time to alter the course of history.

If you had your way, you’d very likely want to be young forever.

There is an aversion to aging and its eating the fabric of society.

The anti-aging industry was valued at $20 billion in 2022, humanity’s search for a taste of endless youth will be the death of the race.

At the time of uploading this podcast the laws of nature still dictate that the young will grow old.

The big questions are

• How old are you?
• Are you fulfilled at your current age?
• Are you excited for the years to come?
• What lessons have you learnt at your current age?
• Are you ready to grow old?

Ready or not, time will bring about age

Impressing other people doesn't seem like an ideal aspiration.

I'd love to make it on my own, it makes for an adventurous bragging rights narrative.

But the world teaches that there are gatekeepers and you have to be in their good graces.

There is no such thing as 'Self Made Success' - we've come to learn that there are always helpers along the way.

This episode highlights the reality of stakeholders to your success and why it is important to be good enough for them.

You aspire to success, but live in denial of failure

While you hope for the best, you refuse to prepare for the worst.

A perfectly natural human occurrence: failure.

You choose not to learn its ways because you never see it coming.

The Nigerian elections presented another opportunity to bear the sting of defeat, as expected we failed at managing failure.

· What happens if I fail?

· Do I have unrealistic expectations?

· How can I reduce my chances of failing?

· Does failing make me a failure?

On this episode, we attempt to answer these questions and believe that we can be better managers of our expectations and life itself.

Should I join the japa train?

It seems everyone and their mothers are leaving Nigeria.

I had never given serious thought to migration but the pressure is slowing making it an obsession.

Questions that naturally come to mind:

• Why are people leaving?
• Where are they going?
• Should I go with them?
• If I’m not bothered about relocating, is something wrong with me?
• If I’m desperate to relocate does that mean I’m unpatriotic?

Too many questions begging very few answers, on this episode we attempt to answer the biggest japa questions

Change is constant but our capacity is not.

We spend more time being shocked about change than actually trying to accept, adjust and accelerate.

Life would always put us in positions of despair, and we would always have the responsibility of moving on.

Following World News, we learnt that the Taliban of yesterday has become the government of today.

Actions and reactions from Afghanistan remind us of the constant concept of change and how we must provide reasons for the new season.

Habits are routine behavior that define us.

With habits we pay more attention to the bad than the good.

While we're constantly trying to break bad habits, we must pay attention to the new habits to replace the bad with.

We're quick to jump into relationships and eventually marriage and quicker to jump out because we ignored signals of danger.

The signs were clear but refused to see them, when we saw them we convinced ourselves that it didn't matter.

This episode gives ten things we must not ignore in relationships.
