DRIVE YOUR DREAMS 5

David was first a king as a shepherd boy, ruling and defending his father's cattle's before he became the King of Israel, ruling and defending his Heavenly father's children-Israel. 

Joseph was first a "Domestic Staff" for Potiphar, maximizing his Management skills before he became the "Chief Executive Staff" of Egypt. 

Whatever it is you claim you want to do or become, you can start doing the same at the very place and level you are today in your journey of life. 

All great footballers playing for any prestigious club in any top league today, once played football on the streets of their neighborhood, with passion, joy and so much excitement as though it was already a dream come through. 

It's easy to say David miraculously defeated Goliath; but what was a sling doing in his hand? How come he already had stones on him? Is it not obvious, that David was used to slinging for fun as part of his shepherd boy hobbies? He has so mastered the art, he could turn down Saul's armour and rather relied on his slinging mastery.  

You want to be a fashion designer; begin to draw designs on old newspapers....enjoy it at that level, do it with a sense of pride. 

You want to be an international business man, start rendering little services today; think about little needs you can meet at a fee, right now at the level you are. 

I always say...you don't need branding to begin. If you see a problem, jump in there...show them you can fix it...and you are already in business. Those whose problems you have solved, will do your advertising campaign. 

Be careful of "ego" it will keep you grounded for life. 

You see, a man of ego will have problems selling "water", he will hide from his neighbours, he will rather employ someone to do it; 

but a passionate man will knock on his neighbour's door "I'm in the business of making water available" how can I serve you today?

Do not despise the days of little beginnings. 

Don't allow your ego get in the way of you taking small steps today in the direction of your dreams. 

Drive your Dreams.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

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!

DRIVE YOUR DREAMS 3

A wise man once said 

"Success is a journey and not a destination". 

This journey is not validated by speed but by progress. 

Between your current location (situation) and your intended destination (dream) is a specific distance. How soon you will get there, is not down to your "Uncle" not down to your "rich friends" not down to your "connection"...No! 

You are the one who desires a change...you are the one with that intended destination as a goal...and so it's your distance to cover. It's all yours!

People can wish you well but your distance is yours to cover. An athlete can be cheered from the stands but his cheer leaders would not take his position on the tracks. 

It's important you start to think about "dream miles". 

Your dream and your plan might be so nice and attractive on paper; and yes, it is good you got it on your dream wall...but until you start doing your "dream miles" daily, that dream will only exist on a paper and on a wall. 

A "zero dream mile" covered in 3 months, implies you have been at the same spot for 3 months. 

In the past 48 hours, how many "dream miles" have you covered and how many "dream miles" are you committed to covering today? 

Don't let any day end with you owing yourself some  "dream miles". 

Do you want to lose weight? Do your ''dream miles''. 

Do you want to build your Business? Do your ''dream miles''. 

Do you want a great relationship with your partner? Do your ''dream miles''. 

The man you see at the top, didn't just arrive there over night....

Do Your "Dream Miles". 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

DRIVE YOUR DREAMS 2

 Just before Israel would take over Canaan, God asked Moses to send some spies to spy the land; beyond the strategic purpose for this exercise, it was important for Israel to have a clear definition of the characteristics of the land they seek. 

In the pursuit of our goals, dreams or vision it is important we have a clear definition of what we are seeking. How does your vision look? How does it feel? How does it taste, smell, etc. 

If you see what you are seeking...would you be able to recognize it? 

When Joseph saw his fellow inmates who worked for Pharoah...I presume he must have felt some degree of closeness to living his dreams. Hence he knew what to say to them. 

When David visited his brothers at the battle field, and he saw Goliath, he recognised his opportunity was nigh. 

The servant of Abraham was clear about whom he was seeking, and when Rebekah came along he could recognise her. 

Success is not a function of guess work; no one arrives at their dream destination unconsciously. 

How would you know you are close to what you seek? How abreast are you with the facts of your vision? 

Pilots are so abreast with the facts of the flight, that they tell you what weather conditions to expect, and an estimated duration of the flight. 

What are your dream landmarks?  

Every Building Project is carried out by using the Architectural Design as its Construction Reference. 

In the pursuit of your Dream, what are some of the Milestones you can use to measure the progress you have made so far?

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

DRIVE YOUR DREAMS 1

Between every location and an intended destination is a distance. A distance that must be covered if you actually desire to move from your current location to your intended destination. 

Although this distance appears to be physical...you need to Mentally go the distance before it can physically materialise in your world. 

This distance is underscored by Work, Sacrifice, Sweat, Focus, Dedication and everything between. 

I need you to lock that dream down mentally: When you do, hard work no longer looks tasking because mentally you already finished the work. 

Friends, don't try to begin a move you haven't finished already. Don't try to go a distance you haven't finished...because in all fairness, you will not complete it. 

Your body cannot stretch beyond your mental vision of how the body is meant to stretch for a given task. 

I need you to mentally see that dream as already achieved. If you lock that image mentally...you will never miss that dream. 

When you act unsure, the dream is not locked-in; when the work demands of your goal wearies you, that dream is not locked-in. 

The difference between an achiever (A) and an underachiever (UA) is simple....

(A) sees the dream as already achieved (mentally) and then he goes to work...whereas the other, (UA) sees the dream as a "to-do" before he goes to work. 

When challenges come up...(A) sticks to his game...because he already saw the dream as achieved while (UA) suspends the dream because to him it's on his "to-do" list. 

What do you now say about your dream? 

"Done" or a "To-Do"?

For as a man thinks in his heart...so is he. Not so he shall be...but...so is he. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

OCTOBER THEME

Dear Friend, 

Congratulations and welcome to a brand new month and welcome to the last quarter of this awesome year. 

Everything that is designed for motion, either on land, in Air or on water has a gear system; but no matter how specially designed the gears might be, if we must make any significant motion with such automobiles, we must have to DRIVE them.

Show me a car that is yet to gain motion, I will show you a car that is yet to be Driven. 

Your dreams and Visions are like well designed cars,  with the potential of being realised. But like it applies to all cars...such dreams and aspirations MUST BE DRIVEN. 

Why not join us this month as we discuss the theme, DRIVE YOUR DREAMS. 

Congratulations once again and Happy New Month!
