GO (ALL OUT) FOR IT

 Until you get to the point where you literally get out of your comfort zone, leaving your excuses and stories behind, leaving your inabilities and inadequacies and also leaving yourself behind and go all out in search of greatness, you will never get to it. 

Dear friends, may I impress it on your mind today, that greatness is a long way from home (your comfort zone). I hear you talk about it, I hear you always preparing for it, I hear you discuss it, when will you take your first step and be on the move? 

At the beginning of 2014, you said you will give up those lazy and 'do nothing friends', you said you will go out there and get yourself a job in line with your passion, you promised to work on your character, etc. It's the end of the year already, what exactly have you done? 

Let me show you how far you still have to go...

the day Moses brought Israel out of Egypt, was not the day, they arrived at Canaan. The red sea was just ahead, the wilderness was their next experience. 

The day Abraham left his father's house was not the day, he got the promise. He had to go through his testing phase, so as to sharpen him for what lies ahead.

The day David brought down the head of Goliath, was not the day he ascended the throne. He had to deal with the envy and bitterness of his boss, King Saul.   

I thought for the mere fact that Jesus got baptised and a voice came down from heaven to validate his assignment should have made everyone to believe on him...No, it didn't. 

But all of these great men would not have ascended their place in Destiny if they didn't dare to GO ALL OUT for it. 

Moses left his Palacios Pharoah's apartment to go in search of it. 

Abraham left his Daddy's mansion to go for it. 

David left his proximity to home just in case of trouble and came all the way to meet a battle he was not physically prepared for but couldn't afford to miss his chance BECAUSE HE KNEW EXACTLY what he was out for. You thought he went to give his brothers food, but this is what he had to say for himself when he got bullied.

'...Is there not a cause?' 1 Samuel 17:29

If he had delivered the food, shouldn't he have returned home...? He was on a search.

Jesus left Heaven, no wonder at his return (after 33 years) God gave him a name that is above every other name. 

Friends, I want to believe you can appreciate just how far greatness is away from your home (comfort zone). 

The question is WHEN WILL YOU BEGIN THIS JOURNEY?

Being average is so comfortable, but it is a prison. It's your turn, It's your time to leave the prison and comfort of average and respond to the call of greatness within you.

Till when next we come your way, GO (ALL OUT) FOR IT. 

MAXIMISE YOUR LIFE

An Iroko tree will never grow half the size less than it was supposed to grow. Water bodies flow maximally, sometimes they so flow that they cause flooding. Think about time for just a second, it does not stop, I call it the dedicated workman. You can choose to party or go for funeral, work or sleep, make progress with your task or whine...TIME WILL NEVER STOP being TIME. 

For some strange reasons only human beings live life but not to its full potential; and to think we are the only creation that was made in the likeness of God, makes me even wonder more. Just imagine God's potential and imagine the potential of another being (you and I) created in His image? 

The question is ARE YOU MAXIMISING YOUR LIFE or are you living less than you were created for? 

If you die today, can we fully list out what's going down the grave with you? The things, you were too lazy to birth for the benefit of the world? The Industries? The Medical Centres? The Schools? The Businesses? The Books? Ideas that were never explored? etc. 

But the question is not when we die...the question is by the time you retire for the day, could you confidently say I fully unveiled my potential for today? 

YOUR GOALS FOR THE DAY IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO FOR THE DAY, IT IS NOT NECESSARILY ALL THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED DURING THE DAY. This is where we start living less than our potential. 

Friends, it begins from now...empty yourself daily. Don't go to bed with daily potentials that were never maximised. Let me say this, PROCRASTINATION IS A MYTH...it doesn't exist. How? Every day has a potential, moving things forward (procrastinating) simply means you are living your yesterday in your today. There can only be one December 1st 2013, doing December 1st related business on December 2nd 2013, is you loosing one day of the month/your life. 

It's time to MAXIMISE YOUR LIFE!  

Jesus said

...but I have a baptism to be baptised with and how AM I STRAITENED TILL IT BE ACCOMPLISHED! Luke 12:50

No wonder 33 years OF STRAITENED LIFESTYLE is today still imparting the world after over 2000 years. 

You too can out live your existence. Start MAXIMISING YOUR LIFE!

SOW COURAGE 4

So...you refused to take that step (make that move), just because a friend (colleague, family member, loved one) who "cares so much" about you had asked "what if you fail"? 

"what if it doesn't work"?

"why do you want to make a fool out of yourself"?

and then the ultimate question...

"what if you die in the process"?

When you have made a conscious decision to make a difference in life...you will need to think carefully about the people you will answer to in the course of the journey.

Every soldier answers to an officer or a Commander in chief; Every athlete (sports man/woman) answers to a coach; Every student answers to his/her lecturer. 

So the question is...

"what is your objective...and by reason of that objective, who are you supposed to be answering to on your way to achieving that objective"? 

To a civilian, the drills of a soldier is cruel, too hard and senseless...of course that's why s/he is not a soldier. 

So...when did a non/under-achiever began counselling you on your dreams and aspirations? All she ever wanted was to have a first degree and you think she will understand why you need a PhD?

Friends, if they don't have outcomes in their lives (business/career) that's inspirational to you, think twice before you listen to them.

The same way iron sharpeneth iron...is the same way an ambitionless (all talk but no action) man is seeking for whom he will teach his ways. 

"...Cast not away therefore your COURAGE (because of the counsel of a lazy man), because your COURAGE has GREAT RECOMPENSE OF REWARD..." Heb. 10:35 (KJV paraphrase are author's). 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
