Do This One Thing If You Desire Success

We all, irrespective of our gender or creed or tribe or tongue desire to be successful in whatever we do however we know that there is a big difference between a desire to get something or be something  and actually getting or being that thing.

Whatever desire we have, if it is not backed up with an actionable plan would certainly remain in the realm of desire and cannot be actualized.

And so to achieve our desire and make it a success, we have to put action into the works.

The challenge, therefore, lies in putting action to the works to enable us to achieve our desire and this is because the default setting of our mindset is that of being comfortable even in failure. Our mindsets are stewed and garnished in negativity.

It is the fear mentality that breeds the negativity in us - the fear of failure which suspends us in mid-air when we want to try out something new, the fear of what people will say if we fail, the fear of the embarrassment of failure, the fear of getting marked for life - this fear is very palpable and stops us in our tracks when we want to launch out thus making us dilly dally and procrastinate.

So the bad news is that negativity is an enemy of success - infact it kills success

And here some facts to prove that negativity kills success

1.     Negativity suppresses your prefrontal cortex,

which is critical for creativity, decision-making and seeing solutions rather than just problems.

2.     Negativity creates chronic stress, which causes inflammation throughout the body and can lead to disease.

When you are battling health problems, it's hard to focus on anything, let alone the pursuit of success.

3.     Negativity can make you a toxic person. A toxic person is a pessimist and is never a good company any day except in the company of other pessimists

4.     Negativity rubs off even on your mode of dressing, the way you talk and even the way you walk.

This will surely make people avoid you like the bubonic plague

5.     Negativity keeps you secluded in your own World. And as you know, no man is an island.

So, if you earnestly desire success, there's just one thing to do - kill negativity and take a quantum jump over to positivity

By so doing, you would  make it possible for you to succeed.

In the next post, I shall let you know the actions to take in the positivity arena that would take you to your success.

Own Your Time

Welcome back

Like I said earlier, today I am looking at the topic 

Own Your Time

And I just want to start with a question

How long do you think you have to live on Planet Earth?

I am sure you may have a religious answer to that question but definitely not a realistic one because no one, not even Nostradamus can actually say how long anyone can live on earth.

Our time here is limited, very limited and very short

How long are 70 years compared to a millennium?

How long are 80 years compared to a millennium?

or even 100 years or even 120 years (that is if anyone ever lives to be 120 in these present times)

So our time is short and limited

One of the biggest challenges we have in life especially when it comes to making important decisions that will rocket us into the sky is GETTING STARTED.

We analyze too much

We dilly dally

We procrastinate

We rationalize

We wait for the right time, for the right moment

We wait for signs from the Stars

We use the word SOON too much

We use the word TOMORROW too frequently

We postpone for tomorrow that which we can comfortably do today

We do everything within our power to shift that decision that we need to make which is getting started

We behave as if we have all the time in the world

as if Mother Nature will keep the hands of the clock still just for our sakes

And we forget that time and tide wait for no one, that time is a perishable commodity and can never be called back once lost

We also forget that the more we wait the more we lose momentum

We fail to remember that soon never comes

We also fail to remember that tomorrow does not belong to us and may never come

We fail to realize that all we have are the seconds that are ticking away as we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide and that we can actually make the most of the seconds and minutes in our day by taking ownership of our time

We must remember that the time we have on our hands would leave us whether we use it or not and the best option is not to allow it to go to waste.

So instead of burning time doing nothing,  let's build in activities into the day that will give us the opportunity to be good to someone who really needs it

Instead of gossiping and killing people with our tongues behind their backs, let's rather use our tongues to pray that God continues to shield and protect us from all the raving and roving exotic diseases flying around

Whatever it is you have to do to move yourself forward, stop prevaricating, stop procrastinating, stop rationalizing, stop making too many motions with no movement, stop making too much analysis that will lead to paralysis, just do it NOW

Now is what matters most and any minute lost can never be regained

Take control of your time

Take ownership of your time

Don't allow another to spend your time for you by engaging you in meaningless and unproductive chatter

Make every second count, by so doing, you would make every minute count and every hour to also count

Your time is yours, use it effectively

Max it out each day, satisfied that you have done your best for that day

Oh Yes We Made It To February 2020

It looked like it will never come, what with January taking its snail paced walk but finally it is here

February 2020 has just arrived

This is the month of uncommon things

And the Good Lord shall lift us up higher than where we are at the moment

He shall cover us with His Wings that we shall know no storms

He shall give His Angels charge over us that they carry us and we do not hit our toes on a stone

He shall provide for us day in, day out that we hunger not after things to eat or thirst after things to drink

He has promised not to let us suffer unnecessarily and he shall verily keep His promise

May God bless us beyond our coasts and borders from henceforth and even for ever more

Amen
