DRIVE YOUR DREAMS 4

A baby requires milk at birth and then graduates to solid food after some months. You don't use a Safety Helmet as a Baseball cap, neither can you drive a ship on a motorway.

What does your dream require and what are you feeding it? What environment does your dream require to blossom, what environment are you creating. 

It's not enough to have a dream, it's not enough to know what you want...if you aren't feeding your dream right...that dream will never see the light of day. It's okay to do something but it's even more important to do the appropriate thing. 

Are you suppose to be working out 5 times a week and you are just doing 3 times a week?

Are you suppose to be studying for 3  hours a day and you are just studying for an hour a day?

Are you suppose to be saving 30% of your income monthly and you can barely save 10%? 

There is no such thing as, I have done my best...if you are not giving it what is required, you aren't giving your best. 

You cannot short change the process. 

You can try to talk everyone to believing you are doing your best...but the process will find you out.

Stop waiting and expecting to be congratulated when this is something you are supposed to be doing; Whose dream is it by the way? So, who else was suppose to be doing the work? 

If you are suppose to dial an 11 digit number, and you dial just 10 digits correctly...you will never reach your destination. Stop looking for short cuts. 

If you claim you want it so bad, then commit FULLY to the price.

Don't complain about the results you didn't get by the work you didn't complete. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

PUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS 4

It is true, you must have failed several times; it's true you are fed up already and you are considering quitting but how do you eventually become your dream after quitting?

I need you to know...that it is possible that your dreams can come through. It is possible to turn your life, business, family and every current but temporal situation around.

Let me tell you something you already know...

There are two kinds of people in the world...there are those who go about TALKING about opportunities and possibilities....there are those who are BUSY DOING something about the opportunities and possibilities. 

"What is possible will always be potential" but "what we do about what is possible is what makes what is possible, become a reality".
The woman with the issue of blood knew it was possible for her to be healed by Jesus...and she did something about that possibility. 

Don't try to tell me what you think is possible...show me by your actions...because what you do is the only proof, you believe in what you say is possible. 

If your circumstance must change, there is only one person responsible and that person is "You". 
It's time you take full responsibility for the current as well as the future outcomes of your life...because...the easiest way to become a "Nobody" is to do "Nothing". 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

BUILD UP YOURSELF 2

''...Woe to the, O land, WHEN THY KING is A CHILD and thy princes eat in the morning...'' Eccl. 10:16 (KJV, paraphrase are author's)

Everything rises and falls on Leadership - John Maxwell. 

Your life is like a Nation and everything you are involved in are like institutions of that Nation and guess what...You are the Prime Minister or the President. 

If your Nation is failing economically it is because you have not built that sector of your Nation. If your industries are failing it's as a result of lack of working knowledge. 

Haven't you observed...an underdeveloped Nation attracts less investors...so also an underdeveloped individual attracts less opportunities. 

There is a place for prayer, there is a place for fasting, there is also a place for miracles but none of these will be a substitute for practically building up your life. 

The Tower of Babel didn't go up by Prayers, yet they were so pragmatic in their approach that God came down to stop them. [Gen. 11:6].

It's time to settle down and look inwards...see areas of your life that needs attention. Go for relevant trainings, go online and educate yourself...do whatever it takes to build yourself. 

An underdeveloped CEO will ruin his business venture. Next to a system that appears not to be working is an ignorant/underdeveloped operator. 

When you build up yourself, the things around and the things you are responsible for are also affected; when you decide not to commit to continuous Personal Development, soon everything around you begins to experience stagnation. 

What you are yet to see in your life is what you are yet to grow into; and what you are yet to grow into is what you don't deserve. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

NO WEEKENDS 1

Just anyone can start a process but not everyone commits to the full demands of the process. 

A wise man once said 

"Successful people do daily what unsuccessful people do occasionally" 

Behind every average achievement is also an average degree of commitment; behind every phenomenal achievement is a phenomenal degree of commitment. 

A Project becomes suspended when commitment goes on vacation. A dream becomes a wish when commitment to its pursuit is absent. 

In the school of Success, everyone begins the class but sooner or later, everyone's commitment begins to distinguish them from the rest of the class. 

No one gets a prize for starting a race; neither does anyone earn a degree on the first day of a degree program.  

What then is the currency for commitment? 

Time.

Anyone who commits more time to practice will beat you to the game, your skill, talent or potential notwithstanding. 

1. What are you working on at the moment? 

2. What quality of outcome do you desire...average, outstanding or phenomenal? 

3. How much DAILY time investment do you really think can produce that quality of outcome?

When you work out #3, then give TWICE AS MUCH DAILY; that's the true definition of going the extra mile. 

"...whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain (double of what is asked)..." Matt. 5:41 (KJV, paraphrase are author's). 

Do you really want to excel in all you do? 

I will politely suggest...

Go the "extra mile". 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

CHANGE INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 1

"We can't solve our problems with the same level of thinking that created them" - Albert Einstein 

Everybody desires to be successful but not everyone truly wants to pay the price. Greatness will never change to meet you at your low energy level...we are the ones to change who we are if we are really interested to achieve greatness in what we do. 

It doesn't matter what your goals are...it doesn't matter how big or how small, whom you may or may not have shared it with; the truth is,  if you are not willing to change who you are today, that dream does not have a chance to become a reality.  

That dream is suppose to put a demand on your sleeping hours; It is suppose to put a demand on whom your friends should be; it is suppose to put a demand on how much time you spend watching TV; how much time you spend taking selfies and putting it up on Social Media; it is suppose to put a demand on the quality of books and articles you read and stock on your Personal library. 

So...what's it going to be? Do you really want "this"?

If it is yet to place a demand on who you are today...you need to rethink your strategy. 

During the 2016 Olympics 400m race, Shaunae Miller had to dive in order to deny Allyson Felix (the  reigning Gold medalist as at the time) the Olympic Gold for that race. 

Shaunae Miller knew if she would obtain the gold, if she would beat Allyson Felix, she will need to change the way she finishes her race. 
Jesus told  Nicodemus

"..Except a man BE born again...he CANNOT SEE the Kingdom of heaven..." Jn 3:3 (KJV). 

Who do you need to BE...in order to SEE the fulfillment of your dreams? It's time to Change into Something Different. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER 2

A mother once gave N500 to each of her two daughters and asked them to go buy 3 specific items from a bargaining market. 

The 17 year old went and picked just the 3 items and paid N500 for them; whereas the 15 year old went with the same amount of money bought the same 3 items by negotiating a good bargain on each piece of item and eventually bought 4 additional items. 

Same money, but different outcomes. 

I know I got you thinking about your negotiating and bargaining skills, but the real question is...

Your time: How much do you really get done?

How much do you really accomplish within a day as against how much could you potentially achieve if only you managed your time better? 

Don't allow conventional time wasters to put a definition to how much you can get from your day (week, month, year or even your life).

If you can not plan your 24 hours and consciously execute your master plan, you can't possibly plan the next 24 weeks of your life. 

Stop wasting your life! Stop short-changing your capacity! Stop being an underachiever! 

Do you know as sophisticated as you think a computer might be, your brain is still more than that computer and the programs that run it? Why waste your potential and capacity by wasting your time? 

It's time to BE MORE! It's time to DO MORE with your time. It's time to PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
