BUILD UP YOURSELF 1

A future that is not prepared for is a future that will never be experienced. A house that remains a plan on paper is a house that will never be inhabited.  

Every student who wants to pass an exam in one seating must build the capacity to sit for a minimum of 4 hours daily.

Show me a man who wants to become an effective leader tomorrow, I will show you a man who is committed to building effective people skills today.   

It does not matter how big or how small your next goal/dream in life is; you will always need to build up your capacity to deliver that goal or dream. 

It's time to focus on building up the relevant skills, competencies, abilities and capabilities. I know you have the ability to sing a song, how about producing an album? I know you have the ability to mend clothes, how about sewing a dress and moving up to owning your fashion line? 

Stop congratulating yourself that you have laid the foundation, a foundation cannot accommodate anyone...it's time to build beyond the foundation. 

You that claim you have been praying for a life partner: as a man, have you really sat down to build  yourself to become a good husband...as a girl, have you built yourself to the point where you can be an effective wife? 

Ability might come natural but skill is built over time. You have the ability to run does not suggest you have the skill to win a race or a Marathon. 

A wise man once said "a man without skills will kill".

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

UP YOUR PERSONAL EXPECTATIONS: DEMAND DYNAMICS 4

What do you do when people don't expect anything outstanding from you? What do you do when experts and analysts have finalised your case and call it a dead case?

Among many other things...

You don't have to go searching for the meanings of the adjectives they have used to qualify you; you don't have to hate yourself or hate those who have shared their opinion about your abilities and capabilities. 

This is something you can do...

RISE ABOVE everyone's expectations and that includes you too! 

If they say all you can give is 100%, reintroduce yourself in your next performance by delivering 150%. 

There are some women in scriptures I admire so much; the 5 Daughters of Zelophehad. 

According to the instruction given to Moses by God, the lands were to be shared according to the census of males in every clan; now because Zelophehad had no sons, his daughters weren't counted, therefore weren't qualified for any inheritance but Guess what...

Mahlah, Noah, Hoglah, Milcah and Tirzah (The 5 daughters of Zelophehad Num. 27) affirmed their rights with dignity and negotiated their inheritance. They came to Moses and Moses went to God. God saw the wisdom in their claim and instructed Moses to appoint them the inheritance of their father although he had no sons; and also established a new law in Israel for cases similar to that of these 5 amazing women. 

What are some of the things you have been told you...Can't Have? Can't Do?

There is nothing wrong about people's perception of what you are capable of..the only thing wrong is when you confirm they are right by under-performing.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
