WHAT'S YOUR MISSION? 5

Noah built the Ark long before the world experienced its first rain drop. Joseph advised Pharaoh to start planning for an economic downturn 7 years prior to the famine. 

You have to see it long before everyone begins to have a glimpse of its reality. This dream you have, this vision, this goal, what will it look like in 10 years from now? 

You see, if the picture of your tomorrow isn't clear enough, your actions of today wouldn't be bold enough, and your guts wouldn't be daring enough.

Discouragement is a symptom of poor vision. It is only what you clearly see that keeps you going. 

Tenacity is the offspring of clarity of vision. 

When you are in for the long game...spontaneity no longer remains in your vocabulary; because you know, every action has its long term effect. 

An average Corporate professional has spent at least 16 years of continuous study before he earned that degree. 

Where do you KNOW you want to be, 20 years from now?

Whatever you will amount to, 16 years from now, begins right from this moment. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

WHAT'S YOUR MISSION? 4

Your mission has a way of influencing the choices you make; your mission has a way of influencing the company you keep. 

Those whom you continuously spend time with, ultimately influence your thinking, when your thinking is influenced, your perspective is influenced, when your perspective is influenced, it will definitely impact (either positively or negatively)  your mission. 

If you genuinely want to lose weight...you can't possibly enjoy the company of those who don't see anything wrong in poor dietary discipline. 

If you are aspiring to own and run your business some day, your close associates need to reflect that mission. 

The easiest way to maintain focus is to surround yourself with like minded people. Positive and right association will always inspire growth. 

When you consider your current circle of associates, do they truly reflect your ultimate mission? 

Some friends are cool, but they don't necessarily inspire your continuous development. Some friends are cool but their biggest dreams don't even inspire you in any way. 

Allow your mission dictate how you allow access into your world. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

WHAT'S YOUR MISSION? 3

When I see the size of your commitment, I will know the size of your dream. 

Some people commit to things "verbally", some people commit "less than is required" and others commit "whatever it takes". 

A big dream, will demand the same degree of commitment. If you are chasing something "phenomenal", if you are up to something "outstanding"...ensure your effort can be qualified by the same adjectives with which your goals are described. 

The problem with most people is not that they don't dream, neither is it because they aren't working...they are simply putting less than is expected. 

Just anyone can articulate an idea: talking about the house you will like to build, does not amount to laying down a brick? 

If you know what you want, and you are very sure about it...I dare you to start talking with your hands than talking with your mouth about it. You need to decide to commit maximally to its pursuit. 

If something requires 60 hours of dedicated effort weekly; 50 hours won't cut it. Yes, it looks comparable but it won't fly. 

That task was meant to last 2 weeks, if you don't give it what it takes...it might as well last for 2 months.

Has it also occurred to you that sometimes once you engage, what you thought will require 6 hours now appears to require 8 hours? Yet, you can't even put in the initially anticipated 6 hours?

It's time to wake up!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

WHAT'S YOUR MISSION? 1

A life without a sense of mission is a life that will lack direction. When you are not mission oriented, your vision will look like a fiction. 

Just before take off, every Pilot usually announces the destination of the Plane. 

In this remaining half of the year it's important we start to ask ourselves certain basic but relevant questions as it applies to whatever it is we are doing.

If you don't assign yourself a mission and commit to its pursuit...circumstances of life will dictate the direction of your life. 

Show me a man who wastes time today...I will show you a man with no fully defined destination for his tomorrow. 

You are the "Captain"...you are the "Pilot"...stop living like a "Passenger".

"Write the vision, make it plain...so he may run [Pursue/have a sense of mission] that reads it" Hab 2:2" KJV (emphasis are author's). 

What you don't qualify for, is what you are yet to pursue; what you are yet to committedly pursue, is what you are yet to make your mission. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

JULY THEME: WHAT'S YOUR MISSION

Dear Friend, 

Congratulations and welcome to a brand new month. 

You can't potentially win a medal for a race you never started; neither can you arrive at a destination for the journey you never started. 

Why not join us this month as we consider the theme: WHAT'S YOUR MISSION? 

What are you about this second half of the year? What do you want to achieve this third quarter? 

Congratulations once again and Happy New Month! 

A SENSE OF MISSION

 Have you ever imagined getting to the bus station and for the first time, you met a bus and on the screen where destinations are supposed to be displayed it reads "going no where" would you get on that bus? 

I tell you the truth, the same way you would walk away from that bus, is the same way most intending passengers (who are going some where) would walk away from it too. 

Your sense of mission will attract resources, people and opportunities towards your direction. Your life is like a bus and you are the pilot of this bus, but the question is "where exactly are you going"? What are you passionately and consciously chasing after? 

A restaurant will attract those who are hungry.

A school will attract those who want to study.

A Gymnasium would attract those who love to keep fit. 

Look around you and the type of people you attract, does it resonate with your sense of mission? 

It's time to live passionately in accordance with your mission. 

The resources and every thing you are looking for is tied to this. You don't get rewarded for sitting down, neither are you rewarded for lack of clarity of purpose. 

You are rewarded for going somewhere and the clearer the destination, the more resources opportunities you attract. 

Ruth's sense of mission restored her marital destiny. 

...when she (Naomi) saw that she (Ruth) was steadfastly minded (sense of mission) to go with her...Ruth 1:18

Jesus had a strong sense of mission, no wonder he always had crowds following and staying with him for days. 

What's your mission for today?

What's your mission for this week?

What's your mission for this month?

What's your mission for this quarter?

Start committing passionately to what your answers are for the above questions and watch resources and opportunities come knocking on your door. 

Be mindful to avoid distractions...a Wiseman once said, "don't allow 'the good' distract you from 'the best'.

Till when next you visit this blog, KEEP WORKING WITH A SENSE OF MISSION!

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!
