LEADERSHIP IS UPON YOU

There are two types of people in the world today: those who

1. Think like leaders from where they are and

2. Those who think like followers from where they are

Now the difference between both types is in their mentality. The way the leader minded individual thinks most of the times drives him/her into taking visionary steps that inspires excellence. Same applies to those who think like followers. There are quite a few differences between these two types of people, but we wouldn't go into that for now. 

But one thing remains very clear, a leader is always conscious of the fact that his/her actions has the capacity to either guide or mislead, create or destroy destinies, hence he thinks and acts responsibly, NOT FOR HIMSELF but for those whom he is leading. A follower, on the other hand...thinks about self, you can see self in all his thinking and actions. Could act irresponsibly often times because he doesn't think he should inspire anyone. 

It's very clear, that whiles one school of thought inspires the need for personal development, hence the drive for excellence; the other school of thought inspires no need for continuous personal development hence leads towards a mediocre lifestyle. 

I always hear people say, "this is who I am", "that's my style","if you can't accept me then leave me", etc. The question on my mind is "is this a self defence to the justification of a mediocre lifestyle or indeed this is truly who they are"? 

The reason why we can't give up some bad habits is because we think like followers and do not want to inspire anyone. The reason why we want to live average lifestyles is because we are too lazy to step up to the DEMANDS OF PERSONAL LEADERSHIP. I charge you today, to start paying attention to your conduct, see yourself leading a million kids...your approach to life, your task, will change. 

Paul made a powerful statement 

...Be ye followers of me...1 Corinth. 11:1

Here is a man who can boldly ask the entire Church in Corinthians to live their lives after him. What Audacity! What Excellence in Character Development! 

No wonder he told Timothy...

...but be thou AN EXAMPLE...1 Tim. 4:12

The places you go to, the type of jokes you crack, your attitude towards your studies/job, CAN YOU TRULY ASK 1 million kids to do the same and guarantee they will succeed in life?

Enough of you justifying all the crazy things you do, in the name of being your own person. 

It's time to pay attention to your Character, LEADERSHIP IS UPON YOU, stop acting like a mediocre. Lives and destinies are counting on you. 

You that will inspire your children to be studious and hardworking...BE STUDIOUS, BE HARDWORKING and you wouldn't have to speak about it because they will see it in you!

This is a hard truth but someone said, YOU CAN NOT RAISE SOMEONE TO BECOME WHO YOU ARE NOT!

Till when next you visit this blog, think like a leader, lives and destinies are counting on you! 

YOU WILL NOT FAIL YOUR GENERATION!

BUILD UP YOURSELF 3

Years ago, I learnt a fundamental principle that has turned my life around; I call it the Parameter for success. It's so simple, we talk about it but we still don't understand it. 

It's called "Numbers".

Life is a Numbers game

Success in certain aspect of life could mean improving your numbers and Success in other areas could mean decreasing or moderating your numbers. 

When you look at your facts sheet (scoreboard, results, account statement, percentage profits, list of Clientele, Academic results, etc.), what can you see?

Numbers!

Before you start laying blames or making excuses pay attention to your numbers. Your numbers reflect your discipline, talks about your work ethics and most importantly where you are today.  

Your account balance does not bear your friend's name; if it is in red, no one is to blame. When you step on a weight balance, what you see does not belong to your boss nor your colleagues, it's yours...it's all yours.

Do you remember the Parable of the talent? Growing numbers. 

If you don't like your numbers, it's time to improve on your numbers. Build up your daily hours of Productivity; are you a sportsman? Increase your hours of practice; are you a business man? Develop strategies to improve your Clientele. 

You might be smarter than your competitors, more established than they are in the business but if they are better in the control of the numbers, it's just a matter of time, they will soon be your Consultant. Better still they will either buy you up or you will seek for a merger. 

Can you truly account for your 24 hours? Can you truly account for your last pay cheque? How have you been managing those customers? 

Jesus said something profound

"...those that thou gavest me, I have kept, AND NONE OF THEM IS LOST..." Jn. 17:12 (KJV, paraphrase are author's).

What you cannot successfully manage, you will fail to grow.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
