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!

BUILD UP YOURSELF 4

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!

NO WEEKENDS 2

You will never change your life until you change something you do DAILY. The secret of your success is found in your DAILY routines (commitments). 

What you do daily, over time becomes a habit and the quality of your habits today will determine the quality of the outcomes of your life tomorrow.  

There is what I call "Passive (Unseen) Habits" and there is what I call "Active Habits". 

Passive Habits refer to your Mental/Psychological Routines; for instance, when things don't go your way...how do you feel internally? There is no one who is born "easily irritated" - I don't think so. People practice being easily irritated by being (Passive Habit) easily irritated repeatedly...and over time it now looks like a "default character".

Active Habits refer to "seen Habits". It's usually a routine action from you that is visible to all.

Our daily routine is usually a combination of both Passive (unseen) and Active (visible to all) habits. A Qualitative Commitment therefore is a product of a Qualitative Passive habits and Qualitative Active habits. 

Until both habits are in sync success is never in view. 

Hannah always prayed (Active Habit) for a child but until her countenance (a facial display of internal emotions-Passive Habit) changed, Samuel never came. 

"...so the woman went her way, and did eat, and her countenance WAS NO MORE....NO MORE...sad..." 1 Sam. 1:18 (KJV, paraphrase are author's). 

When your Active habits contradicts your Passive habits, your commitment will yield no fruits. 

A house divided against itself cannot stand. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

MAY THEME: NO WEEKENDS

Congratulations and welcome to a brand new Month

Jesus was speaking once, when he established a powerful success principle; he said 

"...whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain..." Matt. 5:41

He was simply asking you to go the extra mile for another person; but the question is...How does that translate to you? It simply suggests that, when it comes to your business...you should at least always go the extra mile. 

This Month, we will be considering the theme NO WEEKENDS and our focus will be on Commitment. 

Commitment means staying loyal to what you said you were going to do, long after the mood you said it in has left you. 

Your dreams don't recognise, weekends...it demands your full commitment. 

Congratulations once again and happy new month!

WINNING BY POWERFUL THOUGHTS 2

What comes before a Thought? How do I sustain a continuous flow of Powerful Thoughts?

A thought is just like a Fruit from a tree...an Apple does not decide where it will spring up from. A Guava fruit, does not suddenly decide to show up on a Mango tree. 

The type of tree determines the type of fruit.

You need to decide who you want to become...Hold  on a second...I didn't say, validate...or justify whom you have always been...NO! From where you are now in life...make new decisions. 

As Trees come before Fruits...so...Personality precedes Thoughts. 

I tell young men...before you get into a relationship, decide what kind of partner you want to become...because if you don't circumstances would decide what kind of partner you will be. It takes only a thought to be abusive but it takes a PREDETERMINED decision TO BE SELF CONTROLLED to shut down the flow of abusive thoughts. 

Jesus said...

"No man puts a piece of NEW CLOTH unto an old garment...Neither do men put new wine into old bottles...but they put NEW WINE into NEW BOTTLES..." Matt. 9:16-17 KJV (paraphrase are author's). 

Who you are determines the type  and quality of thoughts you will attract. 

A lazy man always thinks of "sleeping", "wants to go on holidays and take breaks...even after achieving nothing" . 

Stop being a waster of resources and expect to become a serial entrepreneur. 

You can either carry-on with the way you have always been, by making irresponsible excuses for whom you have become over time...and still get frustrated for things not being better; or you decide to change into something Different and then you see different out comes. 

Indecision in itself is also a decision...so the question is...

What kind of fruit do you desire to see...what kind of Tree are you?

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

CHANGE INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 3

The real price for success is the determination to change who we are today for the prize we seek tomorrow. 

The truth is, you will have to confront and over come giants before you possess your Promise Land. You will meet your "Career/Business Goliath" before you will ascend your throne. There will be "Red-sea" like circumstances, wilderness phases and even Walls of Jericho delaying your entry into your Canaan.

However, I need you to understand, you can't afford to be chicken-hearted; you can't afford to be psychologically weak; you can't afford to return to that person you used to be...that person who complains, and always finds excuse for their lack of commitment to the process that is designed to make them successful. 

The days of saying "I have no one to help me" is over...it's time to get out there and help yourself. 

It's time for you to  Change...because the days ahead will even be tougher...and your weak mental attitude will do you no good. 

It's time to raise your personal standards...walk away from cool but unproductive friendships. It is time to build your capacity for the opportunities ahead of you. 

It doesn't matter what you might be going through right now...make that pain an advantage...don't let that pain be a setback, rather it should be a set-up for your take-off. 

If your supposed goal is not costing you an upward change in your personal character and values, you need to review how committed you are to pursuing that goal. 

It's your turn to achieve quality outcomes in your world...it's your turn to CHANGE INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

PUT YOUR HOUSE IN ORDER 3

Something significant happened to Israel on their way to Canaan. As they began their Exodus from Egypt to Canaan, Israel WAS NOT a Unified entity. 

"...and the Children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand men on foot...and a MIXED MULTITUDE went up also with them..." Ex. 12:37-38 (KJV Paraphrase are author's). 

One nation, one God, possibly one goal but not necessarily a UNIFIED ENTITY. 

The "Mixed Multitude syndrome" is a syndrome that always attempts to follow you into your Canaan.  

Jesus knew his mission was to die, but when the time drew close, the "mixed multitude syndrome" kicked in...he said "Lord if it be your will let this cup pass from me" but he later realigned to the assignment and went all the way to the crucifixion. 

Believe it or not...there is "this hold" your past circumstance (success or failure) will always have on you...and sometimes, it certainly affects your new journey. It's a hold that affects the order in your paradigm.

God told Gideon "the men you have are too much,  now, ask THE FEARFUL to go back home". With a few more tests, 33000 men were reduced to 300 men. 

Even Abraham had to let Lot go for him to make progress...and it was after Lot separated God began to speak to him to enlarge his perspective. [Gen. 13:14-15]

Who is in your team?

Have you been carrying 33000 men for a task that will require just 300 men?

You have known them for long does not necessarily mean they are relevant to your assignment.

There is nothing wrong with synergising and partnerships but sometimes you also need to know the battles that are exclusively meant for you-Yes, JUST YOU!

It's time deal with your own mixed-multitude! It's time to Put Your House In Order. 

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
