PUT YOUR LIFE IN YOUR HANDS 3

There is this group of guys that I keep learning from all the time; interestingly, we all know them for something not commendable, however, God in his infinite Wisdom still acknowledged the potency of their mentality. 

I call them the "Babel Masterminds"

Let's check how it all started:

"...and they said one to another...LET US MAKE...LET US BUILD A CITY and A TOWER, whose top may REACH UNTO HEAVEN...and let us MAKE US A NAME (make an impact whiles we are alive)..." Gen. 11:3-4 KJV (paraphrase are author's). 

Oh wow!...very clear goals...if you are talking about BIG DREAMS, no one has broken this record yet. 

God had to literally come down to stop them...NOT THE DEVIL...they didn't need to fast about it, of course they don't come across as though they had any relationship with God. 

Now, let's put that in perspective...these were men with a very HIGH RESOLVE to maximise their stay on earth. 

A City and A Tower? 

Interestingly, they didn't talk about money, not capital...When God said they can't be stopped he didn't say so because of the size of their Bank statements...No...

They had a possibility Mental Framework that will translate into Real time Hard Work that will deliver their objective. [Gen. 11:6] 

They were not just talkers...they were doers. They were willing to PUT IN THE AMOUNT OF WORK necessary to make that happen. 

Friends, I have great respect for spirituality and spiritual exercises...I also engage to build up myself spiritually...however, these were men that will not Fast or Pray about this size of dream...they were ready to DO IT...WORK IT...WORK IT! 

Even Money or the lack of it couldn't stop them.

If God came down to stop them...it meant they were unstoppable! 

I need you to begin to see life as warfare...where laziness is the enemy. This is an enemy that needs to be conquered every minute, every day, and every week...this enemy never dies...and so the battle is for life. 

Sleeping for 8 hours is not in your best interest, you can ask any achiever out there...but underachievers will say otherwise. 

Success is never owned...It's Rented..and the Rent is due EVERYDAY.

Greatness never goes on Sale...The Price Is The Same All Year Round.

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!

SUCCESS BANKING

So we are gradually running a cashless society; we all carry our debit cards most of the time: we pay for stuff online, at the till, at the corner shops. What makes it possible? Why does your bank honour your request everytime you place that debit demand? 

It is possible because in times past, you have made financial deposits; so everytime you have a supposed financial challenge you can make financial withdrawals from your financial institution. Has anyone ever been in a position where you thought you had some money and you wanted to use your card and you were told 'you have insufficient funds'? It is not that you do not have funds, but they are simply insufficient. If you take that a bit lower, can you imagine confronting a financial challenge with zero deposit in your account?

 Now it is exactly the same way life works. What we do today with the challenges we face are deposits into our success account. Have you ever wondered why some people give up too soon and others stick to making things work?

David was before Goliath and all he told Saul was, 'I have deposits of success that I can withdraw from in order to take care of  this 'Goliath expenditure''

David's size was not commensurate with that of Goliath's but you can not question the size of his previous success. Jesus was before Lazarus' 4 day old grave...he made withdrawals by saying 'Father, I thank you because you hear me always' hence this case also is affordable. 

However, those who do savings and put money aside, do so CONSCIOUSLY. Now some one might be having one form of challenge or the other, it is important you stand firm and ensure you come out successfully because when YOU do, it becomes a deposit. THE more success deposits we make today, the better perspective we create for tomorrow's challenges. Listen! OUR EVERYDAY VICTORY LIFESTYLE IS CRITICAL TO OUR TRIUMPH TOMORROW. 

STOP GIVING UP! STOP ACTING WEAK! STOP MAKING EXCUSES FOR YOUR POSITION! STOP SPEAKING NEGATIVELY!

It is time to take every challenge as a job...and you know every job comes with a pay, when you get paid where does it go to (into your brother's account or yours)? So, get excited at new challenges because you are just about to visit your success bank in order to do some success banking.

Believe it or not, there will always be life's expenditures (battles/challenges), we just can not afford to not be productive in our daily economic engagements. NO MORE HANGING OUT WITH THE WRONG CROWD who only sit and talk about challenges (and discuss negative issues). Hey! It is unprofitable for you! Get out of that club and sign up for the club that takes on challenges head on, not because it is easy but because they must make fresh success deposits, their SUCCESS ACCOUNT must not run dry. 
I hear some one say, 'How do I start'? 

Start with the small things, Why? If £1 is too small to be saved, £1000 will also be too small to save. Start with planning today (how small?). What will you be doing in the next hour? What are you supposed to be doing by 1p.m? Develop a plan and stick to it; it will reinforce your drive to take on the next day. 

As you plan, make a decision not to ignore any challenge that comes along, face it and address it. Someone got you upset yesterday, call them up today and talk about it...ignoring them or keeping a straight face does not make any deposit to your credit.

Remember: YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO MAKE FINANCIAL WITHDRAWALS THAT ARE ABOVE YOUR FINANCIAL DEPOSITS! IF YOU DO NOTHING, YOU WILL WITHDRAW NOTHING!

Until When next I see you...KEEP EXCELLING and KEEP BEING A ROBUST SUCCESS BANKER!

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!

CHANGE INTO SOMETHING DIFFERENT 2

Haven failed my UK Driving test four times within 12 weeks, my instructor said something as he began to prepare me for my fifth attempt; he said 

"on the day of the test, if you keep driving as a learner, you will return home as a learner but if you drive as a Licensed driver you will go home with your Full Drivers License". 

What was he asking of me...? Change...I needed to Change attitudinally into the person I wanted to become. 

Stop blaming everyone and everything around you for your current position. That is you...being the old you, playing the victim. This might not sound sweet but "the government IS NOT your problem, your employer IS NOT your problem, your pay cheque IS NOT the problem, your spouse/partner IS NOT the problem". 

The real problem is ME...yes...that's right! Stop expecting things to change when you are not willing to go through the crucible of change yourself. 

I don't care who might have hurt you in the past, you need to drop all of those anger, bitterness, resentment and hatred you have been nurturing all these years...it's a weight- DROP IT! Those whom you hold the grudge against are so free living whereas you are dying-DROP IT! 

Begin to see in you the person you aspire to become tomorrow, and start to mimic/rehearse that person today. 

Stop saying "those rich people"...excuse me, I thought you are one of them. Start saying "...We billionaire CEOs..."...yes! that's right! 

Do not let your current circumstance become your vision...NO! Make your prospect your vision from right where you are. 

Believe in what God made...God made you...and He did not make a failure!

You will not fail!

Good morning and Happy New Week!
