Who Said It'd Be Easy?

It's not easy

It's hard to change your life

I'm talking about the problem in your life

I don't know how you're handling it but you just have to handle it

because the problem will not just go away on its own,

you've got to handle it.

You can't sleep it away,

you can't drink it away;

you'll wake up from your sleep and it's right there beside you starring you in the face

tormenting you

You'd become sober after your drunken stupor and it will be right there hurting you the more; it's always tugging at the very fabric of your soul, you wish it's not there but anywhere and everywhere you look, it's waving at you and tormenting you

So I'm telling you today to DEAL with your problem;

and the sooner you deal with it, the sooner you get your rewards,

the sooner you get on the other side of it, the sooner you begin to feel fulfillment

The sooner you get on the other side of your problem, the sooner you'd be on the side of self-actualization and your dream becomes a reality

The sooner you get on the other side of your problem, the sooner you'd find out that there-in lies the world of success

The sooner you deal with the fact that you have anxieties, the sooner you'd be a free person

Deal with it, it's not the end of the world

Deal with the problem because when you do, you'd create a solution for it and you just get over it - Deal with it

That you and your children don't have the best of relationships - deal with it

Deal with the fact that you are procrastinating

Deal with the fact that it's hard for you to execute things

Deal with the fact that every time something happens, you're so worried about it

Deal with the fact that you have this attack of nerves (anxiety) every time you're about to reach another level of success

Deal with the fact that you're struggling with your success

Deal with the fact that you feel guilty that you're successful - deal with it

Start working on your dream

Most people don't work on their dreams because of either the fear of failure - they can't handle shame because they don't think it will work out - or fear of success - what if things work out and they can't handle it? -

Again most people don't work on their dreams because they become comfortable with who they are at the present time - that's their comfort zone -

they stop growing,

they stop working on themselves,

they stop stretching, they stop pushing themselves,

they stop expanding and start contracting and they end up becoming cynical about life and they then throw in the towel on themselves, on their family members, on their dreams.

And the other thing is that most people don't feel worthy of success because they did not have a College Degree or they take to heart what other people are saying to them and they do not believe in themselves and so they fail to act on their ideas.

Let  me tell you something my friend

All you need to achieve success is a belief in yourself and your capabilities and a belief in your Creator - Your Silent Senior Partner -

So it's possible for you to choose your future and to create it

but to do that, it's necessary for you to work on yourself and develop yourself

It's necessary that you get the energy drainers out of your life - people who don't want anything out of life, people who are not challenging themselves anymore,

people who are no longer striving,

people who have given up on life,

people who are not growing,

people who have stopped dreaming -

these are the energy drainers you need to extrude them out of your life

It's necessary that you align yourself with people who are hungry for success,

people who are unstoppable,

people who are refusing to live life just as it is (default mode), people who are asking more out of life,

people who would not take no for an answer.

There's this popular saying that "birds of the same feather flock together"

so if you run around with losers, you'll end up a loser.

It's necessary that you get the losers out of your life

If you want to change your life's default mode, it's necessary that you realize that no one is going to do that for you except you

And even though you face disappointments, even though you experience some set backs, it all comes with the territory.

If you are starting something new and you call for meetings and no one attends, even if someone says to you "count me in" and they don't come around, you won't just give up on yourself, you've got to continue believing in yourself, you've got to continue visioning your dreams and goals

and you've got to keep saying "It's never over until I win, until I succeed"

To succeed, you'll encounter difficulties, you'll meet obstacles, you'd fail severally, you'd be disappointed severally, even by your own family and trusted friends,

you'd suffer lots of setbacks,

you'd suffer anguish and pains, defeat will laugh at you most times

but if each you fall down, you rise again, you shall overcome.

The trials and temptations will teach you things that you didn't know you possessed like the fact that you have greatness inside of you,

the fact that you are powerful beyond measure

and the subtle fact that you're greater than your circumstances

and that you can't afford to go through life as if you were a victim when just a little more push would tilt you down the road to victory.

So I want to invite you right now to think about that your dream - yes that dream that won't let you have peace of mind,

that dream that won't let you sleep well,

that dream that makes your heart skip a beat, that dream that you wish you had all the money in the world to chase, pursue and close it in - yes that your dream

I want you to begin to envision it right now, visualize its completion, its attainment

Ten Absolutely Amazing Success Rules From Bruce Lee - Pictorial

And here's the VIDEO 

10 Absolutely Amazing Success Rules From Bruce Lee

Bruce Lee remains the greatest icon of martial arts cinema and a key figure of modern popular media.

Had it not been for Bruce Lee and his movies in the early 1970s, it's arguable whether or not the martial arts film genre would have ever penetrated and influenced mainstream North American and European cinema and audiences the way it has over the past four decades.

The influence of East Asian martial arts cinema can be seen today in so many other film genres including comedies, action, drama, science fiction, horror, and animation.....and they all have their roots in the phenomenon that was Bruce Lee.

Lee was born "Lee Jun Fan" November 27, 1940, in San Francisco, the son of Lee Hoi Chuen, a singer with the Cantonese Opera.

Approximately one year later the family returned to Kowloon in Hong Kong and at the age of five, a young Bruce began appearing in children's roles in minor films including The Birth of Mankind (1946) and Fu gui fu yun (1948).

At the age of 12, Bruce commenced attending La Salle College. Bruce was later beaten up by a street gang, which inspired him to take up martial arts training under the tutelage of "Sifu Yip Man" who schooled Bruce in Wing Chun kung fu for a period of approximately five years.

This was the only formalized martial arts training ever undertaken by Lee.

The talented & athletic Bruce also took up cha-cha dancing and, at the age of 18, won a major dance championship in Hong Kong.

Top Ten Tips For Fast Success From Jack Canfield

Jack Canfield is the originator of the Chicken Soup For The Soul books, the wildly successful series that has sold over 120 million copies worldwide

Canfield has also authored a number of books on the topic of personal development and success and gives speeches worldwide to business executives, entrepreneurs and sales executives on how to achieve peak performance.

If anyone has the credentials to talk about success, it’s Jack Canfield.

Luckily for us, he believes in inspiring and empowering others to do the same.

The best thing about Canfield's approach - his methods are clear, concise, and easily applicable.

So, if you're feeling stuck in life, here are ten tips to get you back on track.

1.     Change Your Thoughts -

Your current mindset is what has gotten you to this point.

If you desire change, you need new thought patterns.

Instead of thinking about how you're not qualified for a job, think about what you need to learn to become qualified.

2.     Take 100% Responsibility for Everything in Your Life -

Only by taking full responsibility for your life can you make positive changes.

This approach means no finger pointing, no playing the victim, and no blaming your life on your circumstances.

Forget blaming others. Instead, take action.

3.     Find a Mentor -

You know the old 10,000-hour rule, well you can cut that time down by finding a mentor.

By learning from people who have achieved what you desire, you can jumpstart your career progress. 

4.     Do More Than What's Expected

Don't spend time worrying about the idea that you're not getting paid enough.

Instead, think about what you could be doing that would lead to an eventual increase in pay.

Continue building your skills until you're invaluable.

The big bucks will follow.

5.      Find Your Core Genius -

Look, you're better at certain things than others. It's a fact of life.

So put in time honing skills that fall into your core genius categories, and you will excel at a faster rate.

What Is Success?

In this Blog Post, I am answering some questions that have been asked by millions of people over time - such as What is Success?, Why is Success Important In Life?, Who Is A Successful Person?, How Can One Achieve Success?

In starting, I would like to mention right away that each and every one of us has the success gene embedded in our DNA and so if any of us is experiencing any challenges in being successful, it only means that s/he has not activated that success gene and therefore needs to do that pronto.

What is Success?

Success is simply the accomplishment of an aim or purpose.

Success is a journey and not a destination

The dictionary describes success as the following: “attaining wealth, prosperity and/or fame”.

Being successful means the achievement of desired visions and planned goals.

Furthermore, success can be a certain social status that describes a prosperous person that could also have gained fame for its favorable outcome.

Why is Success Important In Life?

Life is lived so that we can achieve our utmost desires, hopes, and dreams.

We all see ourselves somewhere in the distant future; we all have goals, dreams, and aspirations. 

Success means achieving those goals; it means that you can get what you've always wanted.

And in a way, being successful is realizing your goals and aspirations; that's why it is so important

Who Is A Successful Person?

A successful person is one who has been able to achieve a balance in work and life. Such a person has mastered the art of maximizing his or her presence where-ever s/he may be.

Successful people are confident and can lead themselves, as well as others.

They have their own vision and mission and seek to bring it to life on a daily basis.

They also know who they aren't and don't waste time on things that they aren't good at or they aren't satisfied with.

How Can One Achieve Success?

There is a very simple format to use in any field of endeavour to achieve success.

a.      Desire

b.      Believe

c.      Visualize

d.      Goals

e.      Plan

f.       Action (Work the Plan)

Achieving goals is powerful and affects our success in life.

When we dare to dream about what we truly desire and set goals in that direction, a powerful shift happens.

Life is now lived with greater direction and purpose.

Top 5 Things To Do In Order To Be Successful

MY FRIDAY HAPPY HOUR - 18. 01. 19

Topic:    Top 5 Things To Do In Order To Be Successful

There are popular sayings about success that I am hinging this presentation on.

It is said that "success is not a destination but a journey", this simply means that there are many facets or faces of success and that one might be successful in one facet and be challenged in the other facet and so one continually pursues success in all the facets even as we pursue excellence and perfection.

It is also said that "success has many relatives but failure is an orphan", the man who has achieved success in one field of endeavour continually attracts more success in that field, this keeps him very busy and active much unlike the person in the same field of endeavour but who has  not made a mark.

And it is also said that "success leaves trails", no sentence could be truer than this. The successful person continually drops hints of how he achieved success as he interacts with people either at workshops or seminars or talks and these trails could be picked by anyone and used to achieve their own success.

In order therefore to be successful, here is the list of my Top 5 things to do in this 2019 to be successful

1.    Avoid Procrastination Like The Plague

If you have never achieved much in any particular year, it can be related to the fact that you think that the year is waiting for you; in contrariwise, the year is on the move, whether you are moving with or not, it's just moving and unfortunately, you simply can't catch up with if you allow it to give you such a long gap.

This is what procrastination does to us, it makes us postpone for tomorrow that which we can do today because we think that we shall have more time tomorrow and we forget that tomorrow comes with its own challenges that would also demand our time.

So if you must succeed, you must chase procrastination out of your life and do it immediately.

Whatever comes your way and needs to be done, should be done without delay.

My personal mantra over the years has been - Do It Now and it has helped me quite a lot.

Avoid procrastination as you would avoid the bubonic plague.

2.    Embrace Change

It is popularly said that the only thing that is constant in life is change and I am not talking about it as a political slogan but as a fact of life and living.

Whether we accept it or not, we are changing on daily basis, not only our bodies but also our physical environment continues to change.

Technological development has left many of us trudging along behind because we are not able to cope with the speed of change.

Yesterday, it was the analog telephone that was the in-thing, then Thuraya came but today, all those big phones have become big for nothing, a small phone can do what a computer can do because chips and microchips are now being deployed to do what cannot be done before.

In order therefore not to be left behind, embrace that which is new and learn its ways so that you can benefit maximally from its use.

  

Change is necessary for self-development; both mentally and physically if you want to live a happy life.

At our work places, change is crucial if you want to get recognition and promotions.

You can get quality education to make your CV rich and get a better understanding of the business world.

If nothing changed, everything would become stagnant and never improve.

So, give up your resistance to change

3.    Give Up Your Fears

Fear is the senior brother of procrastination. The fear of the unknown is a very terrible thing indeed and helps to keep us chained at one particular place without making any efforts to take a trip because we are afraid of the outcome of that trip.

But do you know that Fear is a state of the mind? and that we allow ourselves to dwell in that state because it is conducive for us!

There are decisions we need to take, things we need to do but we allow fear to hold us back and down and by the time we realize the harm we had done to ourselves, the years have left us behind.

This, however, is not to disparage genuine and real fears, like the fear of doing any dangerous exercise that may cost us our lives, that kind of fear is what keeps us going but any other kind of fear that keeps us away from what we need to do should be done away with

Fear is a dangerous intangible thing that can hinder your progress and affect your relationships.

It was Roosevelt who said, “The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.”

So this year, replace fear with love and curiosity and watch yourself grow rich in experience.

When fear comes knocking on your door, let courage answer it

4.    Give Up Self-Deprecation

If your mindset is that which often thinks low about you, certainly you'd always talk down on yourself

Low self-esteem is a dangerous thing and often leads to persons having suicidal tendencies.

Undervaluing yourself is surely not the way to go because it ruins your self-confidence and makes you feel bitter all the time.

Self-deprecation always puts one in a sorry state.

This year, remind yourself that you are alive not by your own might and power but by the Infinite Power and your Senior Partner

Remind yourself that life is beautiful and thus needs to be lived while one still has the opportunity to live it.

So, it doesn't really matter what your personal situation is right now, what matters is that you are alive and only the living can have hope because once there is life, there is hope.

Speak up for yourself, never take No for an answer

Regardless of the situation, you are in now, don’t ever think the worst of yourself.

Patience is a virtue and it will help you deal with the discomfort in a way that best suits your life and the people around you.

Why don’t you inspire yourself and work hard to achieve your dreams?

5.    Give Up Over- thinking And Thinking Small

Many people are challenged in the area of thinking.

Some find themselves in the habit of always thinking so much about what has come to them that they even become sick from such action.

It is good to think, that is why we have Philosophers who propound theories of existence from what they have thought out, however, too much thinking or over thinking as the case may be is not good for your health.

I would that you rather practice critical thinking.

Face the situation squarely, analyze it, check the cons and the pros, and then make a decision.

Over-thinking results in over analyzing and which will end up causing paralysis of analysis and leave you prostrate without taking any action.

On the other side of the coin is Small Thinking.

Again quite a lot of people are challenged by small thinking.

They never believe that they are worth more than they are at the moment and so when issues come up that demand higher and bigger thoughts, they get lost.

I need to remind us that we are all born genius without exceptions but most people fail to succeed because of their limited thinking.

Today break that barrier and unleash the you that you are supposed to be.

Give free rein to your thoughts, stop limiting yourself.

Infact, people are often advised to think outside the box if they want to have better answers to issues that are confronting them, today I want to ask you to BREAK THAT BOX and release yourself to be free to operate in a world that you have a right to be in.

Do these and I shall see you in the next Online Edition
