Between Reality And Possibility

 


Hello My Friend,

Life can get difficult, right?

There’s no secret there.

Sometimes work might seem like a burden, home life can get hard, and many other things can go wrong.

But the challenge is to not to look at any of these things as being indicative of what you will have or experience tomorrow. 

The great trap almost everyone falls into is using one’s senses to determine what is real and what is possible.

We look at our bank account to decide what’s possible.

We succumb to the feeling of hopelessness when things go sideways.

We hear things that cause us to question our dreams.

Despite all this, it’s important to remember that what we are sensing is only real beyond that moment if we allow the thoughts to continue.

Understanding the difference between what you think of as reality versus the  possibility available to you is the key to success and to effective leadership.

Do you still feel like something is holding you back from becoming the person you really want to be?, the one who manifests his dreams and the life you were designed to live?

Drop me a private message and we shall take it from there

Have a great day

From The Stables Of Dr. Jerry - the First

 


A Solemn Message From Me To You

 

Listen,

as the month of May 2022 unfolds, let me tell you something!

The most empowering thing you can do in life is to take 100% responsibility for everything in your life. Your failures, your successes, your guffaws, your mistakes, your over indulgences, your tomfooleries,  your one- night- stand, your one -drink- too -many, your everything

Stop blaming past circumstances.

Stop blaming people.

Stop blaming what happened to you.

Stop blaming your parents

Stop blaming your ancestors, they are dead and gone

in short, stop the BLAME game

Stop pointing accusing fingers, when you point one finger, three others are pointing back at you thus declaring you more guilty

You cannot undo what has been done BUT you can learn from there and do it better next time - there will always be a next time.

You cannot turn back the hands of the clock neither  can you fast forward it, you just have to use the time as it is now.

Stop playing the victim, it only gets you deeper into the pit

Man up to your situation

Life happens as it is meant to

Accept it and move on

You are brought into the World to be a victor

Go and be one

I am Dr. Jerry - the First

Monday Morning Motivation - Gratitude Is The Greatest Attitude

 

Gratitude Is The Greatest Attitude

 




Growing up, my Father taught me that gratitude is the best route to getting anything one wanted out of life. It was not a lesson taught by words but one taught by actions. Because I noticed that whenever he did something for me and I forgot to thank him, the next time I ask, he would delay so much that I ended up forgetting what it was I even asked for in the first place but whenever he did something for me and I immediately thanked and appreciated him, the next time I ask, he would do it without delay. That was how I learnt that lesson and it has taken me to places and gotten me things I ordinarily may not have had easily.

I have learnt to be grateful for what I have and I have always ended up having more.

I have always refused to hunger for the little things I don't have because focusing on them takes me away from the realm of being grateful to my Maker for all the multitude of the things He has bestowed on me which money alone cannot buy.

Sometimes we are too busy thinking about all the things we don't have or all the opportunities we have missed and lost that we forget to actually live in the present appreciating what is in our lives especially the most important single factor that we are still ALIVE and BREATHING, And that only the living can have hope of a tomorrow and make plans for such a tomorrow.

An Igbo proverb has it that "ekele onye akidi, ya agwota ozo" meaning when "you appreciate the one who prepared the bean salad, she would bend over backwards and bring some more"

The time has come and is actually now when men should learn to live in the present and stop being worried about yesterday or concerned about tomorrow - both of which they have no control over.

Live in the present.

Live your life to the fullest

Learn how to appreciate the little things of life, they are the things that bring the most joy and happiness.

Be kind to yourself

No matter your expectations, don't beat up yourself when you don't meet them

There is no man alive who has all his expectations met

In this game of life, you win some and you lose some but life continues.

Life is not a bed of red roses

It will be hard

There will be trials of your faith

There will be turmoil

There will be landslide disappointments

You shall be betrayed by friends and family

But being grateful for the life you have

shall place you a pedestal ahead of all your detractors put together

Gratitude is the greatest attitude to attain your highest altitude

Real happiness is not found in money or things or fame or possessions no matter how costly or expensive, not even when you have achieved a particular success you have hankered after for a long time. Real happiness lies in GRATITUDE.

Gratitude gives you the strength to go on.

It gives you the strength you need to be stronger to face all the challenges of life

It gives you the strength you need to accept yourself as you are

It gives you the strength you need to cherish the blessings you have on daily basis

It gives you the strength to love yourself and be able to love others as you love yourself

So from today, learn to be grateful, learn to be alive, learn to live every moment as if it's your last.

The 3 Pillars Of Success Mastery

 

The 3 Pillars Of Success Mastery




Thanks for being a regular visitor to my blog and for reading my posts

I hope that you are taking these lessons to heart and putting them into action. 

I want you to be successful and there was never a better time to do it than right now. 

However, you will only achieve what you have earned through having the right mindset, the right strategy, and learning the right skills.

I created a thinking framework that simplifies understanding what it takes to be successful.

I call it the Three Pillars of Success Mastery.

Let me share it with you.

If you want to be successful in any area of your life, you have to MASTER three things.

1.    The first Pillar of Success Mastery is to Master Yourself.

You have to get control over your actions, your thoughts, and your schedule to even stand a chance at ever being successful. 

Most people fail because they either give up, don't work hard enough, don't want to make sacrifices, or can't keep a positive mindset. It's a fact.

You have to decide what is important to you and then carve out the time in your schedule to show how important it is. 

If you can't find time for your business, but have time to watch television or browse social media, then you don't REALLY want an online business. That is a choice you make in your head. 

If you quit working on your business, or jump from program to program, that is a problem with your thinking.

When someone has mastery over themselves, then they can get up early and stay up late if that is what is necessary for success. They can quit television and other entertainment to devote their time and energy on accomplishing their goals. They keep going even when most people would have quit because they know that success isn't easy and "get rich quick" is a myth. They can get themselves to put in the work.

 

2.    The second pillar of Success Mastery is to Master Your Strategy and Foundations.

You can work really hard and be completely committed to success, but if you are using the wrong strategy, then success will never come. 

You can spend months and years climbing the ladder of success only to find out just when you are almost at the top that it is leaning against the wrong wall and it just came tumbling down.

If you were trying to lose weight and your strategy was to eat a gallon of ice cream each day, then you would probably not reach your goal. That is a bad strategy.

If you want reliable online income, then the best strategy is to build an audience of people who know, like and trust you. Then you can sell things to that audience. That is a winning strategy. Trying to sell to strangers (most people's strategy) is a bad idea.

You need to constantly be upgrading your strategy and knowledge of how marketing really works so that you can master the second pillar.

3.    The third pillar of Success Mastery is that you need to Master Key Skills.

You can work hard (Pillar 1) and be following a good strategy (Pillar 2) and still not be successful if you don't know how to execute that strategy.

For example, if your strategy was to build a big email list, send them emails to educate and motivate them and then sell to them, but you don't know how to write emails that are compelling and informative, you are doomed to failure. You are missing that key skill. 

If you want to build an audience on YouTube but have no idea how to make a video, then you strategy isn't going to work.

The great thing about Pillar # 3 is that you can learn any key skill that you need to be successful. 

Want to write more compelling emails? 

Read a book on copy-writing by Dan Kennedy, John Carlton or Gary Halbert. 

Take a course on writing emails by Andre Chaperone.

Get a coach or a mentor. 

You can learn anything ... if you commit the time to do it.

Most people don't want to do this part because they don't like to learn. Learning new skills seems boring and it takes time to see results. That may be true, but the reality is that time is going to go by anyway. 6 months from now, you could have learned a new skill and gotten results, or you could have wasted your time and money on 5 new "money making opportunities" that didn't pan out. Improving yourself pays off forever.

The Three Pillars of Success Mastery dictates that the amount of success you achieve in life will be held back by whatever pillar you have the lowest level of mastery at. You need to identify which Pillar is the cause of your low performance and focus your energy on improving that area first.

If you are working hard and staying focused, but not getting results, then the problem is probably with Pillar # 2 (Strategy) or Pillar # 3 (Key Skills).

If you can only find 2 hours a week to work on your business, then your problem is definitely with Pillar # 1 (Master Yourself).

Which Pillar is holding you back? What are you going to do to improve that area?

11 Hard Truths about Love You Should Know






1. There is no love without self love

Pay close attention to those people who tell you how much they love you, but who treat themselves as if there is nothing worthy about them.

If a person has no love for themselves, they will have no love to offer to those around. How can anyone offer you something they themselves don’t have? It’s just not possible.

“I don’t trust people who don’t love themselves and tell me, ‘I love you.’ … There is an African saying which is: Be careful when a naked person offers you a shirt.” ~ Maya Angelou

2. Love is not selective

I used to be so proud of the fact that I had love only for a selective few.

And in my ignorance, I failed to realize that my love was flawed and imperfect. Because just as the Eckhart Tolle so beautifully said it,

“Love is not selective, just as the light of the sun is not selective. It does not make one person special. It is not exclusive. Exclusivity is not the love of God but the “love” of ego. However, the intensity with which true love is felt can vary.”

3. Codependency is not love

So many people confuse co-dependency with love when in fact these two have nothing to do with one another.

Love is pure, perfect, and honest. While co-dependency is nothing but fear masked as love trying to cling onto other people by sucking the life out of them and by making them feel responsible for our own happiness, fulfillment, and well-being.

4. Love is not blind infatuation

You often hear people say things like: Oh my God, I fell in love! I’m so happy. And then after a little while, the same people will affirm: Oh, I’m so unhappy. I no longer love them. I fell out of love. 

But the truth of the matter is that what these people felt wasn’t love, but rather a blind infatuation that lasted for a little while and then it disappeared. Because that’s what infatuation does – it comes and goes. 


Love isn’t something you fall in, and out of. Love just is. Love is eternal and always present. And if there’s true and honest love in your heart for someone, this love will remain with you for as long as you live. And whether you allow this love to be felt or not, that is your choice.

6. Love is not blind, or foolish

Love is not foolish, and love is not blind. Love will not permit us to be walked all over by those we love.

If somebody you love treats you in toxic and unkind ways, out of love for them and yourself, you will be guided intuitively to do what’s right – by either removing yourself from the toxic relationship or by asking them to change and correct their ways – but under no circumstances will love ask you to stay in a relationship where you will be abused, manipulated, and mistreated. So keep that in mind.

7. Love is to be offered to all

You might think that the only people worthy of your love are your family, your partner, your friends and a selective few.

But the truth of the matter is that the whole world is worthy and deserving of your love and affection. And since we are all ONE – connected with each other in a profound and meaningful way – it is your responsibility to expand your circle of compassion and offer your love and support, not just to those close to you, but to the whole world.

8. Love needs nothing in return

If you think you have a right to receive just because you have given your love to others, that is a clear sign your love is flawed and imperfect. Because love is pure and unconditional. It offers itself to the whole world without wanting anything in return. And even though we were taught to believe that we should only offer our love only to those who offer their love to us, we should never forget that true love comes with no conditions.

9. The word Love has become empty of meaning, but love itself has never lost its power

We go around throwing “I love you’s” as if love was nothing. But love is not, nothing. Love is everything. Love is the Source of all things. Love is what we all need, what we all seek, and what we all need.

And even though the word love has become empty of meaning through years and years of misuse, love itself has never lost its value and its power.

10. Love isn’t what we think it is

Love isn’t what we think it is. Love is what we feel. And since the majority of people have become disconnected from their own hearts and feelings, what we are getting is not love, but an idea of what love is supposed to be.

11.    Love Is Not Sex

A lot of people have been ruined because they thought that they could use sex to hold someone down in love. So many girls have become Mothers by force, so many boys who were unprepared to become Fathers have become emergency Fathers simply because they confused sex for love.

You do not use sex as a show of love or as a sign that you love someone.

If you love someone, you love them for who they are and what they stand for and not necessarily for what you can get out of them

And these are 11 hard truths about love we should all know.
