HAVE A MADE UP MIND
Ever been in a situation where you had made up your mind to do a certain thing or act on a decision but all of a sudden, you got discouraged?You had all hopes, you were optimistic and excited over it the previous day, hour or second but all of a sudden, the whole excitement died off, the optimism weakened and all hopes got lost because you got discouraged.
You had seen a way out, the way forward or brighter future but for one reason or the other you no longer saw anything p…
BE FEARLESS AND PASSIONATE IN THE PURSUIT OF YOUR DREAMS : MY STORY/EXPERIENCES 1
At the start of the new week, precisely 16th August, I had the privilege to be in a fireside chat with the intelligent minds of the Startup Grind community in Jos, Plateau State discussing how to be Fearless and Passionate in the Pursuit of Your Dreams using my story and experiences.
Fear has been one major reason why so many dreams don't see the light of day . Most people only live these dreams in their heads with wild imaginations of a fanciful world.There are those wh…
NEVER LET THE DEFINITION OF SOMEONE ELSE'S SUCCESS DETERMINE YOUR FUTURE - PART 1
Everyone one wants to be successful and feel successful. For some people, being successful is having wealth, fame, power, education, being married and lots of other things.
We most times desire these things because we see them happening in the lives of others especially with social media clouts where it would seem like your life is heading nowhere.
With social media, there are people who have a vague or narrow minded definition of what success is.
Spending much time on social …
PRAISE UNTIL SOMETHING HAPPENS (PUSH)
It was a privilege to be part of the 5th edition of Praise Until Something Happens (PUSH) where I spoke on praise.
It is easy to praise God when everything seems to be going well as planned, but once the ships go down and things begin to go haywire, the last thing that comes to mind is to praise God. There is also this set of people who only praise God when they are in need, making God a checkbook father. Once their heart's desires are granted, they forget God, not even…
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GET BUT WHAT YOU BECOME
In the world we live in, so many people are more concerned about what they want to get, the point they want to get to, the height or pinnacle in career they want to get to, hitting financial target/salary increase, owning properties, becoming famous in life, becoming spouses, achieving a goal or living a dream life yet do not want to go through the process.
We become so impatient in the process that we most times give up on our dreams or miss out on important lessons while …
LIFE FLOWS FROM THE INSIDE OUT
"Guard your heart above all else, for it determines the course of your life." Proverbs 4:23 (NLT)
"Above everything else guard your heart, because from it flow the springs of life." (ISV)
The heart is the wellspring of life from where things flow. It is the source and the beginning of where the issues of life emanate from. Just as spring is the source where water flows, so is the heart where everything we think of, imagine and act on flow from. If the spri…
LIVING BEYOND PEOPLE'S NEGATIVE LABELS ON YOU
We all have made mistakes, committed errors and experienced failures in certain areas of life that tend to weigh us down but becomes worse when people label or define us with such mistakes, failures or errors yet no one is perfect. People are labelled for what they can and can not do or what they can and can not achieve mostly due to results of passed failures or experiences. Once an individual tries a thing and fails then he/she is labelled a failure in that aspect or fo…

THE BEST REVENGE IS LIVING WELL AND MOVING ON
"Living well is the best revenge" is a quote made by George Herbert that I use as a mantra for myself but I always add moving on to the quote as it makes more sense to me.
When we get hurt or betrayed by people, the natural thing or first thing that comes to mind is vengeance. This is a normal feeling (which is subject to our control). We would want take vengeance against who ever hurt us. Some people would even want to wait for the person who hurt them to have fo…
EVERYONE IS NOT SUPPOSE TO LIKE YOU OR BE FOR YOU
I use to be one who thinks everyone should like me but one of the hardest lessons I got to learn in life was that not everyone will like me. Everyone must not be for you or like you, not everyone will support your dream. Some won't like you for being too honest and blunt, some won't like you for being yourself, some won't even like you for living your dream while there are those who don't like you for the level you are at the moment and there are those who w…
