TAKING INITIATIVE 1

Show me a man who thinks ahead, I will show you a man who takes initiative. 

The human brain is the best Gift God gave to man, unfortunately it is the most underutilised organ of the human body. 

Let me say this...80% of all the challenges you have today, came as a result of your inability to engage your brain; also, 80% of all the solutions you require in any challenge you have today is resident in your brain. 

School empowers you intellectually, but true intelligence is a product of man's capacity to think. 

Anyone who thinks more than you will be your head, why? They will always have answers you seek and so...you will always seek after them.

Do you know why Joseph was released from Prison? The effectiveness of his brain-work. 

Do you know why Pharaoh made him the Prime Minister of Egypt? The effectiveness of his brain-work. 

Guess what...? 

"...but you have the mind (mental capacity) of Christ..." 1 Corinth. 2:16 KJV [paraphrase are author's]. 

Please put that mind to use. 

Believe it or not, your true worth in the market place of life is in the quality and effectiveness of your brain-work. 

Taking initiative is you living life thoughtfully; thinking in advance and making moves accordingly.  

It's time to start thinking and making moves that makes 5 years ahead of today glorious. 

Some wait for the future, others hope in the future only very few seize the future by taking initiative today. 

Be wise.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

Work It Now [WIN] Series: Episode 6

A fundamental difference between you and the man ahead of you is "sleep". Sleep in this context doesn't necessarily connote laying down to rest.

"Sleep" in this context is the inability to function productively. 

You can be awake but still asleep: You are in class does not mean you are learning; you showed up at work doesn't mean you are productively engaging; the interesting part is some people might be so asleep that others are making money on them sleeping and yet they can't see it.

Jacob beat Laban to his own game by an inspired idea on how to make the cattle breed offsprings with spots. 

Joseph although in Prison yet wasn't asleep mentally, providing sound and visionary counsel. 

Your problem is not your position, colour, sex or ethnicity...you are simply "asleep". 

In several scriptures the Bible always described Jesus by the following: 

"For he already had in Mind...what he was going to do" Jn. 6:6.

Spirituality does not suggest you suspend the use of your brain.

Whatever you fail to put into use...you will eventually lose. 

If your brain is not in constant use...it won't be active; when it's not active, over time it goes into a default "sleep mode". And when their is a "mental emergency" you are stranded because your brain needs to reboot...and sometimes before it is done rebooting the opportunity is gone. 

"Stop sleeping"

CALL TO ACTION:

1. How long have you been sleeping in your business/career?

2. What will you do today to change your mental inactivity. 

3. Spend time daily to THINK through your tasks. 

It's time to Work It Now...It's time to WIN. 

Good morning and Happy Mid-Week!
