THE QUALITY OF THE HARVEST

A wise man once said "if you do not like THE QUALITY OF THE HARVEST, check THE QUALITY OF THE SEED".

Our life is fundamentally what we make of it, it is not what the society makes of it as some would claim, it is not what our circumstances make of it, neither is it what those around us make of it. Everything God made responds to the law of sowing and reaping. 

Orange seeds will never produce Mango fruits.  If you sow seeds of Mediocrity, don't expect greatness. If you think and act like the poor, how would you emerge wealthy? By the way, how do the poor think, someone asks...POOR PEOPLE INVEST IN LIABILITIES, RICH PEOPLE INVESTS IN ASSETS. 

Liabilities take money out of your pocket CONTINUOUSLY, Assets put money in your pocket CONTINUOUSLY. 

The seed I want to be addressing today is THE QUALITY OF THOUGHT you put into what you do. 

Every great idea begins from a thought realm. The difference between an iPhone 5 and an iPhone 2 is basically the difference in the quality of thought process that goes into their level of production. 

Stop complaining about the outcomes in and around your life, start paying more attention to how you take the steps you take. Put some thought into it. 

Spontaneity a wise man said, is an action that lacks depth of thoughts but propelled by a desire for instant self gratification. 

Products can be improved because the processes are documented and thus reviewed once and again. 

Your thought life can not be greater than the quality of information you expose your mind to.    Zero exposure to relevant information, zero level of quality thoughts, which implies poor seeds which will result into poor out comes. 

I recently heard that AN AVERAGE BILLIONAIRE READS TWO BOOKS IN A WEEK. WOW! So, they basically renew their minds, to improve the quality of their thoughts (seeds). 

How many books have I finished in the past 90 days? What am I reading at the moment? 

This BOOK of the law, shall not depart out of your mouth but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. For THEN  YOU SHALL  MAKE THY WAY PROSPEROUS and YOU SHALL DEAL WISELY AND HAVE GOOD SUCCESS. Joshua 1:8 (The Amplified).

...deal wisely...in all your seed sown (steps to be taken)

It's time for you to have Quality Harvest, till when next you visit this blog keep IMPROVING  THE QUALITY OF THE SEED!

YOU CAN DO MORE

Self appreciation is a very good tool for inspiration; it is great to look at how far you have come and then take time out and digest that feeling of accomplishment. The biggest challenge is dwelling there for longer than necessary. 

It is time to think a step ahead of your last success...it is time to DO MORE! 

You can choose to be a Conqueror or "more than a conqueror" 

You can choose to be just an employee or be "more than an employee"

You can choose to be just a student or be "more than a student"

The key is DO MORE! 

...By faith Abel offered unto God a MORE EXCELLENT sacrifice than Cain,  by which he obtained witness...God testifying of his gifts...Heb. 11:4

O boy! Did you see that? 

They were both excellent but Abel was MORE excellent...and God also attested to it.

When God attests to your DOING MORE, your promotion will be unstoppable. Can a man (boss/manager) stop an employee whom God has approved from being promoted?

It's time to do more...

In your business...DO MORE

At your work place...DO MORE

In your relationship...DO MORE

With your Children...DO MORE

With your keeping fit...DO MORE

With your Personal Discipline...DO MORE

With your drive for excellence...DO MORE

In your relationship with God....DO MORE

Till when next you visit this blog...keep DOING MORE!

BUILD UP YOURSELF 5

Nothing is built unconsciously; you cannot suddenly speak a skyscraper into existence. Muscle  don't jump on people...he that desires to be built physically will of necessity commit in doing so consciously. 

It's time to consciously BUILD UP YOURSELF. Build up your Faith, Your spiritual life, your family, your relationship, your career, your business, your finances...build your Health. 

STOP LIVING ABSENT MINDEDLY! 

Stop over estimating your self, your results tell it all, your account statement don't lie. Can you really see the situation with your business? Can you see how much you are indebted? 

Right now...you struggle to go up a flight of stairs, your breathing ain't normal anymore. You don't fit in your own clothes...and still you don't want to give  up those poor habits. Are you building or tearing down?

Can you see how much you have blown by hanging out weekly with your "guys/girls"? Why is that friend of yours feeding his/her irresponsible lifestyle by milking on your hard earned cash? Stop sabotaging yourself! Who are you impressing?

You said you are thirsty, but you bought a drink instead of water; you have good clothes you haven't worn for close to 6 months and yet you say, you want to change your wardrobe? And you blame your employer for a meager pay? 

So, as a young able bodied parent, with degree to show some form of mental soundness; You have decided to be lazy today because you think "my children will take care of me when I am old". Can you see how you are mortgaging your children's future to pay for your irresponsible life plan today? Your kids don't owe you anything...it is commendable for kids to provide for parents...but to bank your whole destiny on that is grossly irresponsible. Who says you can't leave wealth behind for them? Can you see yourself?

When you look at the path you are currently on...does it lead to your intended destination? 

You can't book a Mexico bound flight and expect, hope and wish, pray and fast that it will take you to Turkey. 

"You can't put a crown on a clown and expect a king"

BUILD UP YOURSELF!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

If your perspective towards life today is the same as the Perspective you had 5 years ago, it simply means your mind was never exposed to any form of valuable information. 

An aspect of personal hygiene require that you shower at least once a day; if you don't, it's very likely people will rather relate with you from afar. 

Your Mental Hygiene requires you ponder on something profound DAILY. If you do...your mental capacity begins to grow, and your perspective about your current circumstance will change. If you don't, your ideologies will stink and mature people will relate to you from a distance. 

You can read a book, your bible or objectively investigate a success story or success system. Allow your mind to be washed by the quality of the exposure. 

Your life cannot develop further than your mind; your mind will not develop just because you are growing old...No! You will have to consciously develop the efficacy of your mental faculty. 

If your mind is built, your brain-work will be effective, if your mind is not built...situations of life will destabilize you. 

There is no special challenge, we only have special levels of under developed minds. Stop waiting on people, family or friends to solve your problems; the person you are waiting on...also has challenges. He is only trying to use his head...why not copy him? Develop your mind and Put it to good use. 

Stop being needy, develop your mind...and then it will bail you out of situations. 

A mother whose child was sick came to Jesus, and Jesus told her "Healing is for Children not for Dogs", implying she wasn't entitled; yet, see the response of a sound mind, she said 

"Truth Lord: yet the dogs do eat of the crumbs which fall from their master's table"...Matt. 15:22-28 [KJV, paraphrase are author's]. 

People get frustrated not because the situation is frustrating but because their minds at that point in time cannot produce sound options in the direction of the solution. 

Your Brain-work will open doors, your pleading won't open. 

BUILD UP YOUR MIND!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

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!

''...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!

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!

PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER 1

Every great physical structure/system today, first began by a planning process yesterday; and all effective and robust planning procedures will always begin with a SITTING DOWN process. 

Jesus said...

"...for which of you intending to build a tower (Great Venture), sitteth not down FIRST, and counteth the cost..." Lk. 14:28 (KJV paraphrase are author's)

Success in any given venture is not by accident; if it comes accidentally, it will definitely leave you accidentally. Success in any given venture is a product of CONSCIOUS and DELIBERATE efforts. 

"Sitting down" is a conscious exercise. 

There is no special challenge any where...you only need to call yourself to a "personal board meeting" and then honestly sit down to map out a solution, after which you take necessary steps in the direction of your desired objective. 

You have been hanging out with everyone else...it hasn't profited you much, why not try to hang out more with yourself, look inwards, engage your mind and start digging for personal answers to your challenges? 

If it will be great it will not happen by chance.

If it will be successful it will not happen by luck.

If it will stand the test of time it will require the discipline of "sitting down first". 

It's a brand new week...have you sat down to map out in detail what you want to do this week?

Stop running around like everyone else...as a matter of fact, productivity is not synonymous with activity.

It's time to sit down and build working systems for your life. It's time to PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
