POWER OF VISION

Image
Ever wondered why almost every motivational speaker and influential people talk about vision? Well, it's because that's what will keep you going and focused in this world that's so filled with lot of distractions. Simply put, vision is having clarity towards your life's purpose. Vision is a mental picture of the future. It is an idea of what the future can hold, but has not yet happened. Vision embodies our hopes and ideals. It gives us a sense of purpose. Visions brings us flashes or glimpses of what is possible. Having a vision about one’s life purpose is one of the most powerful things we can have.A vision gives us four critical things that can make all the difference in our lives and the lives of others: 1. It gives you focus: In this generation where so many are pressured into living fake lives and imitating others, vision is the factor that will help you to be yourself and stay focused. You wouldn't find me in a fashion house learning how to design clothes be...

VISION- WHAT DO YOU SEE?

Image
Hey there, here's a warm welcome to you 'cause you'll be partaking in a series that'll change your paradigm of thoughts. Few weeks back, I wrote a poem titled- What do you see? Several responses were gotten from various people and it became obvious that people do not really go beyond their visions and belief system. Vision is so vital to doing exploits in all areas of life. Anyone with access to vision at any level is endowed with power to do exploits. That is why the bigger and clearer your vision, the great your exploits. When God visited Abraham,he didn't just give him a promise, He opened His eyes to see what the future should look like. You can't achieve what you don't see! What do you see concerning that business of yours? What do you see concerning your career? What do you see concerning the company you plan to establish? What do you see concerning yourself? Here's an excerpt of the poem I wrote: What do you see? What are your fears? Lay hold of y...

SHARPENING YOUR SKILLS

Image
Hey there, how's the new week going? Here's a quick breakfast to set us on our feet this morning. What comes to your mind when you hear the word- “SKILL”? Some say it’s an ability that has been acquired by training , some other school of thought sees it as a form of artistry that gives one a competitive edge . Owing to the fact that a skill is acquired and not necessarily inborn, we can conclude that both school of thoughts are correct.  However, the beauty of any skill is in its marketability. Any skill that is incapable of being marketed has annulled its essence.  Please note that the word “MARKETABLE” here doesn’t necessarily mean “To make profit from” but the contextual meaning is to “MAKE IT COUNT”. Every sane person loves perfection and will be willing to pay through their nose just to get the best.  Hence, the need to gain expertise in your skill. Most recruiters explicitly spells out the kind of skill required for the job role, and they pay close attention to it u...

DEALING WITH DISAPPOINTMENTS

Image
Many times in life, we set goals and targets and then due to unforeseen circumstances, we might not accomplish what we have in mind at that point in time. Let's take for example, this pandemic going on all around the world has really halted some major projects, distorted some vital plans, and given room for rare opportunities as well. Life in itself, isn't fair but what makes us stronger is the ability to look beyond the disappointments and search for leakages of opportunities even in the disappointment.  Getting lost along your path is a part of finding the path you’re meant to be on. Sometimes we need to get off track before we can develop the clarity to be on track.  Many times, friends and loved ones often do not perform up to our expectations... sometimes we get betrayed!  But then, all that we may have gone through has been sort of preparing us of what lies ahead. It is often said that “ Every disappointment is a blessing in disguise”. The trueness of that quote li...

BUILDING YOUR MIND 2

Image
Hey there, here's a recap of what we learnt last week. Your mind is like a womb (it houses possibilities). A woman does not give birth to a baby that has not been nursed in the womb. This principle applies to every area of our lives, be it Spiritual, financial, the list goes on and on. Your belief system, values and standards play a major role on how you live your life and how impactful it will turn out to be. Back then in school, I use to have a friend who always talks about her final result. According to her, all she needed was an upper credit and nothing more and guess what? She worked towards it and got upper credit and nothing more. Well here's my own thought about that, she never thought she could work towards a first class and achieve it...she failed the first test already.  You cannot achieve beyond what you conceive in your mind. A woman cannot give birth to a baby that wasn't first conceived in the womb. To get the most out of life, you have to first aim for the b...

BUILDING YOUR MIND

Image
Guard your heart for out of it are the issues of life ..  You will often hear most preachers and public speakers telling you that victory starts from the mind. This is an actual fact because you can't get what you do not first acquire in your mind.  Your mind is like a womb (it houses possibilities). A woman does not give birth to a baby that has not been nursed in the womb. This principle applies to every area of our lives, be it Spiritual, financial, the list goes on and on. No wonder the Bible tells us to guard our hearts and think on things that are of virtue. Of U.S. lottery winners who win in excess of $3 million each, 80 percent are bankrupt within three years. Why? Because money alone does not make you rich.  These people may add numbers to their checking accounts, but the mere numbers do not make them rich, because they do not change how they think. Academically, a student who failed his exams, first failed in his mind. Your mind is infinite. It’s your doubts tha...

YOUR TOMB STONE

Image
They all stood wailing and weeping... He's left this world already.. Could it be true? Could our once admirable father and friend be gone so soon? It came as a shock but death in itself is inevitable. While at the interment , a big book sizing up to the length and breadth of the table was placed directly adjacent to the corpse . Its purpose was not far fetched. The Crowd lined up in array just to pen down their last words to our friend. If it was possible to read the thoughts of some, we would have known that the written words and their thoughts doesn't align. In the end, the book was closed. I ASK YOU TODAY . WHAT WOULD BE WRITTEN IN YOUR BIG BOOK? If you were the subject in the above story,What will you be remembered for? What do you want to be remembered for?? If you die today, what will be inscribed on your tomb stone??  Remembering the shortness of life strips away all the distractions of life and reminds us of what’s most important. Visiting your mortality reminds you tha...

HAVE YOU DISCOVERED YOUR STRENGTH?

Image
There is a saying that says: “No one is a dullard, you just haven’t discovered your area of strength”. Hence the question: Have you discovered your strength? First, let’s define STRENGTH. According to the English dictionary, Strength can mean a whole lot of things. Majorly among them is its connection to physical energy. STRENGTH is the “Physical energy that you have, which gives you the ability to perform various actions”. However, in the context of our discussion, we will limit the definition to “strength as regards a person’s character”. Strength therefore, is the exchangeable/ usable advantage that gives you an edge. I’m certain that most of us have either seen or edited a CV (Curriculum vitae) before. One of the many ways to “sell” your CV to your employer is to spell out your strength explicitly. If all you know is what everyone knows, you are just one step BEHIND. So, how then do you discover your area of strength? Strength is built over time. Every great wrestler/boxer was once...

HAVE YOU MET YOUR TARGETS?

Image
Hey there, welcome to the new month...We actually took a short break on our publications for a while now. However tonight, we'll be doing a survey. We started this year with a list of goals, aspirations and plans to achieve them. One question I'll need us to answer is boldly written as the topic of today. Have you met your targets? How far have you gone with those plans? Yes I know COVID-19 got many of us walking on waters and then so many plans were disrupted BUT not all plans were affected. Let's not blame the virus for what it hasn't done... lol. You'll need to carry out this survey with sincerity. Point out the factors that affected the achievement of those plans and re-invent plans to tackle those difficulties. There'll be need for you to enact discipline and perseverance where you need to. Having done this, you can then start working...Don't wait till tomorrow..Get your brain, mind and body @ work. Soon this lockdown should be all over and then life ki...
