World of Possibilities

The world is an oyster to many, and to some, a place to make your mark and achieve the best you can. To me, I see the world differently, and I think you should, as well. Take a trip down memory lane, no matter how young or old you are. Do you remember that one moment when happiness seems to be endless and dreams, boundless? Maybe a point in time when you had almost no care in the world. Truth be told, we all want to be happy, successful and accomplished in life. I see no reason why we can't all achieve these and other desires in our heart, if the opportunity presents itself.

            Take a good look around you, and see if you notice anything of interest? Not just looking on the surface, you need to take a deeper insight at what you observe. There are boundless avenues all around your surroundings to tap into. Certainly, you can get what you yearn for or should I say, deserve in your hearts of heart, if you are willing to take chances, grab the bull by the horn and run wild with it.

That said, most people fear complexities whenever an opportunity is presented to them. This causes the need to begin to question ourselves, our capabilities, and financial positions, and not taking the time to focus on the solutions to the task before us. These questions I like to refer to as battle thoughts, which, sometimes destroys our ability to embark on anything in the first place. This is normal, but, nonetheless counter-productive to our goals in life.  

            Opportunities will always unveil themselves in different forms and from various outlets. Some quite obvious and simplistic, and others requiring a little more thought to get off the ground. The most pertinent thing is that we are able to conjure enough courage, boldness and foresight to comprehend the end-game. The latter is where that opportunity will lead you, and how far you can take it. Most billionaires, successful entrepreneurs and multinational corporations are opportunists. Where their competitors fail, they consistently succeed. This is the mindset we all need to harness all opportunities.

Overcoming the Traits of a Quitter

            This is a topic that has been in my mind for a while now, and I don't know why. But, as I journey through this chaos, called, life, it doesn't take much to begin comprehending the true essence of our individual and collective struggles to succeed in all our endeavours.

            Well, have you ever pondered on the true definition of life, Itself? Many people simply exist from day-to-day, and you can tell from their mannerism and way of life. Just like in a car assembly line, where every component plays a key role in putting together the end product. Similarly, in life, we all have a mission to fulfil on our way to obtaining true fulfilment and eventual happiness.

           Sad, but true, not many of us appreciate the need to play our part in order to get to our place of destiny. Whether you believe it or not, "we are sole beneficiaries of the actions and inactions of our ancestors." If they never remained persistent in their quest to achieving the plethora of technological advances, and developments we now enjoy, then we wouldn't enjoy the standard of life we experience today, especially, in the western world. Today, in many places in Africa, and the Caribbean, the inactions of their ancestors left a trail of penury, under-development, slavery mentality, and a sense of inferiority among the inhabitants. Things don't have to be this way, and one that needs to change.

            If you want to be anything in life, then begin to work on the constituents of your mind and thought processes. Quitters imbibe the belief that they, "never do, won't do and can't do." All these are toxic thoughts, and we must be purged of them. Nobody knows you, like you know yourself. Therefore, the only person with the capacity to transform your thoughts is you. "The state of your health and wellbeing (both mental and physical) is connected to your thoughts." Sometimes, in the morning I wake up not feeling like doing much, but, instead blame it on the weather or make some hilarious excuse. This is mental laziness, and a common trait in a potential quitter.

            Want to be more than you are at the moment and get more out of life, then make up your mind to go from a quitter to a winner. The latter is a doer, game-changer and pioneer, even in adverse, ominous and challenging circumstances. So, develop a mind of steel, one that is impenetrable by those who are prolific denigrators. Know your worth, capabilities, and redact limitations from your mental dictionary.

            Quitters hate winners, which is a common trait among the former. Instead of loathing those who are successful in their respective fields and businesses, try to find out what makes them tick and get to where they are today. That's how you get rid of the quitting trait.

FAILING YOUR WAY TO SUCCESS

Happy Easter and compliments of the season to you and your family, wherever you are in the world!

To wake up from one's slumber is by the saving grace of a higher power [God Almighty], if like me you are a believer. That is not to say, that, I am imposing my belief system on you, as God Himself who orchestrated the many complexities that we marvel at today in the world, gave us the liberty to make decisions that has affected the destinies of many individuals, both young and old. So, this Easter is a celebration of the ultimate sacrifie of redemption that His only begotten son, Jesus Christ paid for me over 2000 years ago. Read John 3:16 and Act 5:30 for more info.

Now to the topic at hand. When I look at success, I see an anthithesis. The latter is something that many of us have fallen victim to maybe once or twice or even an uncountable number of times in our lives, and that is the famous guy called, 'failure.' The sad thing is that, most people don't even know how to handle this dude when it suddenly appears in our dictionaries. But in reality, this is merely a design component in the manufacturing assembly of life itself. So, unfortunately, we have to get use to it.

Why do people fail? This is a question that has bothered me for so long, and I'm sure it has done the same to you on many occasions. As part of the design of life that I alluded to earlier, it is an inevitability, and one that will help shape the course of your life progression and destination, if you tackle it with the right tools in your mind. Did he just say, your mind? Yes, I did.

"Most of the battles we encounter in life is either won or lost in our minds even before they begin." The primary role of failure is to throw us off balance and re-orientate our thoughts and focus in the right direction. Think of it this way, When you switch on an electric kettle full of water, as it heats up the water eventually reaches its boiling point, at this point, the kettle automatically goes off. Now, what stops the water from exceeding its boiling point, and simply evaporating, which could many times have caused a huge blaze? It is called a thermostat. In our day to day life, we need a thermostat (failure) to stop us from taking the wrong steps on our way to accomplishing those deep-seated goals, dreams and aspirations that are so dear to us. 

Failure, is not always a bad thing. But, it surely hurts when it happens to you. But, on your way to succeeding in whatever it is you plan to do, there is need to fail to be able to see the correct destination that you are suppose to go to. It could be in your career, business, relationship or what have you. The most important thing is to remain focused and firm when it shows up on your doorstep. Remember to deal with any issues methodically and with dogged determination, and I can assure you that, that particular phase in your life will definitely pass away. One day, when you've re-grouped and recuperated, all that will become history and something to teach others who find themselves in similar situations.

I trust that you have been encouraged by this message, and it is my Easter wish, that you will be generous enough to share it. You never know whose life you will change by doing so, gallantly.

"Why walk, when you can run? Why sit, when standing helps you see what's ahead? Why be sad, when happiness makes the journey seem easier by the second? Why be idle, when hard work bears fruits? Don't be a spectator in life, God has created you purposefully to attain beyond what your mind believes."

Best Motivational video - The Power of fear 2013

Remember, if you are aware of this, and can harness it, your life will never be the same in 2014 and beyond.

YOUR APPOINTED TIME

          Dear friends, I am delighted to be able to reach you today, with this inspirational message, that was placed in my heart, recently. I don't know your situation, or who this message is meant for. But, I believe a 'gift' is only meaningful, when used to bring about positive transformations in people's lives.   I may not be able to reach you physically, to help resolve your problems, but, God Almighty can do it all, and he uses different mediums to resolve all difficulties, not matter how grave they may be. The good news is that, in all situations, there is 'an appointed time', and that time is God's own time.

          When I woke up today, the actualisation of my dreams, aspirations, and business ideas, were just some of the many things that came to mind. Moreover, a quiet voice spoke to me (not literally), and all I heard, was that it will all come to bear in 'the appointed time'. This I believe was the voice of God, and not of the enemy. Because, HE [God] is not a man that He should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: he hath said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? (Numbers 23:19).

          Suddenly, it dawned on me, how tricky and complacent we often get sometimes. Therefore, with this in mind, I said silently in my heart, 'you better not get carried away, and neither detract from the course that your creator [God Almighty] has kindly, mercifully, and wholeheartedly, carved for you. Need I say more? I dare not, and cannot begin to contemplate the consequences thereof.

          Peradventure, with all the infinite pitfalls, uncertainties, and tumultuous occurrences we have often become accustomed to in life, only if we could take a step back, and intricately assess our lives, from an objective standpoint. Then, and maybe then, you will begin to understand that, in reality, things are not just the way they are. In fact, nothing that we see in existence today, came to be or are controlled by the so called 'God particle'. However, if you subscribe to this school of thought, then you are living in the 'stone-age', and need to rethink your position. It may come as a surprise to you, that, the world has since moved on, and continue to do so.

          There are principles which governs all things in life, and these principles are not relative. In that, irrespective of race, creed, or cultural affiliation, its influence is felt. For example, when you sleep in the night, you are expected to wake up in the morning. So, now, is this a privilege only extended to the rich or people of a particular social class? Far from it. It is simply the way nature [God Almighty] had intended it to be. So, our adherence to principles is key to our survival in our present existence.

          The same applies to these three pillars of life, which are, 'wisdom, knowledge, and understanding'. But, be mindful of any misconceptions, because, if God Almighty is omitted from these three pillars, they immediately lose their meaning, and potency. In the book of Proverbs 4 verse 7, the LORD stated that, "Wisdom is supreme - so acquire wisdom, and whatever you acquire, acquire understanding". In fact, the aforementioned, in its entirety, laid tremendous emphasis on the pertinence of embracing Godly wisdom, comprehension, the power of discernment, and more. So, where you are at the moment in life or what people say about your situation, is not final.

         

          You see, the scriptures rightly stated in Hosea 4:6, that, "My people perish (or destroyed]), due to the absence of [Godly] knowledge (or vision)". Dear reader, there is an appointed time for everything in life. You are not where you are by choice, but, guided by Godly principles, which orchestrates our actions and position in life, whether you like it or not.

          I know that we all have aspirations, and ambitions in life. In my personal life, I often ponder on my achievements, and the herculean task of taking it into new territories. However, with my knowledge, and understanding of the power that God Almighty has engrained in me, I consider myself to be simply 'limitless'. So, in your life, and in whatever you do, always have it firmly engrossed at the back of your mind, that you may not be there yet, but, you will soon attain that dream you never thought was at all possible. Because, there is no impossibility when God Almighty is involved.

          In actual fact, those who have already written you off today, will return and embrace you for the remarkable 'U-turns' they see occurring in your life. So, my friends, be patient, embrace hard work, and be persistent, in all your endeavours.           Sooner than expected, your story will surely change for the better, and, in your appointed time, you will become a force to be reckoned with. Finally, irrespective of the magnitude of your dreams, and the monumental preclusions in your way, remember, God Almighty, is the only One with the finally say, not your friends, haters or otherwise. To confirm this, HE [God Almighty] said, that. "I know my plans for you, declares the LORD, plans to prosper you, and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future".

          Need I say more? Guess not. In your appointed time, you will find success, and the fulfilment of the purpose that God has set for you.

****Remember, Never stop until you succeed***

IMMERSE YOURSELF

Want to be influential, wealthy, healthy, prosperous, happy, successful, and live an all round fulfilled lifestyle? Do you know that there is something that you need to do that you may have been omitting, or perhaps haven't given much thought to, that will make your journey there quicker, and sustainable?

You see, it is undeniably true that, the above are some and more of those things that all well-meaning humans widely seek (to put it simply). However, there is often a arrant reluctance, and lackadaisical feeling within most to take those concrete steps that those who have already accomplished some or a combination of the above, had taken.

I'm sure that, I am talking to someone here today; yes, YOU reading this right now! Always dreaming about something big, or a place that you would like to be, with no real motivation, and impetus to take that ONE important step that will get you there. Maybe it is you, who have a successful neighbour, but, instead of using their achievements as a drive to want to attain yours, rather, you simply begin to hate, and despise them for no justifiable reason. Wake up now before you pass your self-by-date.

"A man who seeks to excavate diamonds from the ground, must first do his homework properly". In order words, what you do to get to your very own place of dream matters a great deal. Or else, all dreams that remains idle is tantamount to sure failure. Although, failure is not necessarily a bad thing, but, 'giving up' is. The latter is what most do today, and will continue to remain mentally, socially, and economically impoverished in so doing.

Now, have you thought of the word, IMMERSE? Take a minute to ponder on it. Does this word mean anything to you? Well, this is one simple, but, potent secret to success (whatever it means to you) in most areas of our lives.

To immerse oneself, is to involve deeply in an activity. My friend, this will change your life for the better, if you put it into practice more often.

It could be that your dream is to become a highly successful lawyer, doctor, engineer, professor, politician, business tycoon, movie star, artist, sports personality, public speaker, or what have you. YES YOU CAN! But, the secret is to IMMERSE yourself with diligence, in those activities that those who are prospering in your chosen field had to do, in order to get to where they are today.
Search within, the power to succeed is you, and remember, NEVER STOP UNTIL YOU SUCCEED.

Waiting for the Light at the End of the Tunnel

      Hope this meets you in good health wherever you are today. Many a times, we find ourselves suffering and struggling day-in-day-out, from one meaningless job to another. Sometimes, with no defined goal(s) in mind, but, persistent confusion, and delusions in the form of dreams that have become 'idle aspirations'. Amongst us today, especially those in the so called 'minority', are prolific make-believers with pretentious intents, and no tangible projection of where they want to be in the foreseeable future.  

         

          Now, if you plan to achieve positions of monumental significance in life, that would cause even your greatest adversary to 'take note', be it in your personal life, a career pursuit, or perhaps a business venture, then you need to comprehend and be willing to cultivate the virtue called 'PATIENCE'. It may sound simplistic, but the truth of the matter is that the majority of individuals in the present day still lack or are often unwilling to embrace this life changing quality.

         

          You see, life, like many areas of our existence, is a process which holds great mysteries that only those with an unflinching focus will understand. Not only focus, but, a gift of discernment of things that are not immediately apparent to the common mind. I don't know about you, but, to me the understanding of tricks of life greatly excites me, and is one of the secret keys to progressiveness.

         

          Life is always in the habit of testing us to the extent that we sometimes feel the need to cave in (that is, 'Your Threshold'), and no matter which part of the world you reside in, the story is often similar (fact!). Moreover, if you find yourself in mundane situations, which bears the hallmarks of destitution, be not weary.

         

          All things happen for a reason, and nature [God Almighty] has purposed it to be so. I am a living witness of this, as many of you are. In fact, we are all in this cocoon of persistent struggle and directionless existence, from which we must all break free, and begin ascending to that place to contentment.

          Be that as it may, sufferings, struggles, pains, and diverse trials will come your way. However, this is to strength your character and to prepare you for the victories that lay ahead. This is the light at the end of the tunnel, and one which we all have to wait for. Many today have given up, and in most extreme cases, committed suicide, before the final whistle goes off. Unbeknown to them that, victory is only a step ahead, and very much within reach.

         

          Beloved, there is always light at the end of every tunnel of difficulty you find yourself. It could be that you want to be in a special place, attain a better position, live a fulfilling life, get a better job, transform your failing business into a profitable one, enhance your personal image, defy people's perception about you, be rid of insecurities, or other areas, which may all seem unattainable at first.

          But, remember that your creator has created you with a definitive purpose, whose course cannot be altered by irrefutable antagonism and obstacles. So, be thankful for your current situation, stay focused, learn to improvise, work harder, keep seeking opportunities without fear of rejection, and above all, exercise patience in the knowledge that God has purposed you to succeed in the face of sure defeat.

         

          May God Almighty continue to expand our wisdom, and understanding of the mysteries of life, so we can best make use of the knowledge we have come to know.

Importance of life's Parallels

Do you know that all around us are innumerable parallels, which have been deliberately fashioned to ensure an equilibrium in the way things operate in the universe. You may ask, why is this important to me? Well, the answer is simply to aid our comprehension of the reasons why things are the way they are and why some events [tragedies, poverty, dissension, pain, death, failure, illness, wars and the others] are inevitable, and no amount of methodical preparation can avert them. 

You may think you know it all, but there are things that only heavenly knowledge can reveal to you. For starters, pay careful attention to those things that seem apparent and those that requires an intricate study. Everything you see around you, is not what they seem (think about it). 

Not all people can be successful and indeed, we are not all destined to fail. Do you know that there is need for good and evil to co-exist alongside each other, despite their extremities? Have you ever wondered why you experience a period of suffering and then increase? Why are there ups and downs in your life? Are these for a purpose? Yes, of course. As the saying goes, "there is no smoke without fire". In the same light, certain parallels exist in life to establish an equilibrium in the status quo. 

To every problem, there is always a solution. But, there are secrets you need to understand, that will give you that competitive advantage to add to your winning formula today.

Want to know more? Then watch out for my book (coming soon).

Stay bless and be motivated.  

CHANGE - CATAPULTING TO NEW HEIGHTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS

                 

The concept of change is akin to a new adventure, with no definitive idea of what it entails or the eventualities to expect in the end. Just like a tunnel, when you enter from one end, the only thing to expect on the other end is a light and an opening. Sometimes we seek changes in a particular area of our lives for various reasons. It could be that you are not contented and therefore, find yourself in a state of dichotomy with either your current job, relationship, career direction, calibre of friends, appearance (or specific features), spirituality, sense of direction, health and wellbeing, level of achievement, or perhaps other areas.
         

Whatever the nature of the changes you seek, remember that it begins with you and change in itself is borne out of a burning "desire and passion" within us, and a sudden realisation that you are not where you ought to be in life. Moreover, stagnation and monotony are just two pivotal causes of unfulfilment in many situations today. Furthermore, the very notion that you are at your wits end, and there seems to be no more room to manoeuvre in your current position is enough to kick start that in-depth desire for betterment or alternative strategies. 

Today, many individuals tend to seek changes to better their future, whilst others cannot find the impulsion to conceive such thought, even if they are apparently not comfortable with their current state. In the majority of times, they regularly complain to family and friends about the magnitude of their discontentment. On the other hand, to some individuals, the idea of change scares the living daylight out of them, and are apprehensive at the mention of the word. The truth is that change is healthy and you can never have too much of a healthy thing.

Turning changes into reality

President Barack Obama realised the need for change in his country's governance and economic situations, and could see through the eyes of his electors the desperate desire for one. As a result, he once asserted that, "change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change we seek." This is so true, in that the changes we seek has to begin with "us". In other words, for you to change your situation, you have to first rediscover yourself. You cannot just sit idle and hope that, that poor status of yours will be transformed overnight. Surprise! Surprise! It won't happen in a million years. Therefore, the onus is on you to put in work and, hard work for that matter.

In the corporate world, companies who constantly implement changes in their mode of operation, product line/ideas and services, are often more competitive, profitable, and survive in the long run. They often have to diversify their portfolio, and diversification is change in itself. Think about this for a moment, why are electronic giants like Apple and Samsung, more profitable than others, such as, Blackberry, Nokia and Motorola? An why do they feel the need to introduce new technologies within 3 to 6 months of launching a previous model? The answer is to stave off competition, by researching and implementing changes in line with the constantly changing tastes, and lifestyles of consumers around the world. Today, most companies invest heavily in customer surveys and other research tools, to help determine what changes or modifications are necessary to keep ahead of the competition.

The same has to apply to us individuals. We cannot continue to do things the old way and expect any marked difference(s) in our situations. Importantly, you should begin by making little adjustments here and there, and you have to want the change for it to begin to germinate into tangible results. Be "proactive, consistent and resilient" in your endeavour to bring about positive changes in your life. However, it will not happen if you try too hard or move too fast. One has to exercise patience, take things one step at a time, analyse your situation properly, and try to envision the end-goal. Sometimes, by visualising the expected outcome(s) can serve as a great motivational tool to want to initiate a change in the first instance.

For a moment, ask yourself preying questions, like, where do I really want to be? Although, one may have studied medicine (for instance) at the University, but is being a medic your true passion? Can I do better in another field? Why am I in this predicament? How did I get to this dampened state? Am I truly happy with my current situation? Can I push myself that extra mile? Will a change solve my problems? This is called self-assessment, and one that we all need to do at least once in a year. It's tantamount to going to the hospital for a routine health check. Because, If you foster such, then you are certainly on your way to living a happy and fulfilling lifestyle. 

                      "Change is inevitable whether you like it or not, you may not seek it today, but life surely has a tricky way of throwing up situations that will cause you to reassess your position." So, why wait for such times, when you could do it now.
