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

My 10 Stops To You This 2020

Stop wishing for things to happen

No one ever told a story in the wish land

If you wish something good for yourself

GO OUT THERE AND TAKE IT

Stop hoping that one day, you would be better

Hope is good to be entertained but nothing concrete ever came out of hoping without a tangible effort made to actualize the hope

If you are hoping for a better tomorrow,

TAKE ACTION TODAY

Stop fasting and praying for things to happen

Praying is the best way to communicate with God, YES

and fasting is a way to discipline our bodies and soul in readiness for receiving, YES too

Fasting and praying are good in and by themselves BUT no matter how much you fast and pray, if you are not doing anything to put yourself in the position to receive that which you are waiting for, your fasting and praying would be all in vain.

When you fast and pray, DO SOMETHING - POSITION YOURSELF TO RECEIVE.

No matter how much God wants to favour you, HE WOULD NOT DO FOR YOU THAT WHICH HE EXPECTS YOU TO DO FOR YOURSELF.

Stop waiting for doors to open for you

If you never KNOCK on a closed door, it will never be opened

Knock so that the door can be opened for you

Stop waiting for things to happen for and to you

if there is something you earnestly desire and it is not coming your way

GO OUT THERE AND MAKE IT HAPPEN

Happen on and to life

Stop blaming others for your poverty, your life of want and deprivation, your misery, your state of unhappiness, your lack and all the negatives in your life

Take RESPONSIBILITY for your life and begin a new page

Stop getting angry with people, holding grudges against people and hating people

You are only HURTING yourself

Anger, hatred, grudge are like HOT CHARCOAL

How do you expect another person to bear the brunt of the hot charcoal which swells up in you and burns you up whenever you are angry?

Stop begging people for things especially money, stop ingratiating yourself on people so as to be given some crunches, stop crawling under the table to collect the crumbs that fell off the dining table

You were put into this world and given a command - GO YE AND OVERCOME, SUBDUE and take DOMINION

God expects you to live your life to the MAX and He has equipped you appropriately for that

No beggar ever lived life to the max

Stop analyzing and over-analyzing opportunities to make money or create a program that can impact upon the world and your generation.

You can never get out of the RUT if you don't have the GUT

Stop taking advantage of people's vulnerability, stabbing your friends at the back in the name of politics, arranging and organizing in such a way as to favour you, making yourself an opportunist despite close relationship and friendship.

It might favour you today but remember - What goes around always comes around

And as the Preacher said

VANITY UPON VANITY - ALL IS VANITY

This is 2020, be very mindful of these

Choose Your Struggle

*Nobody ever gets what they DESERVE, people get what they WORK FOR*

So if you really desire to have a *LION SHARE* of life's goodies, then you need just one thing

a *LION'S HEART*

And to acquire a Lion's heart, you must CHOOSE your struggles, don't let your struggles choose you.

Mother Nature will always throws spanners into your life's moving wheels so as to distract you from going after your goals, you must choose to *FOCUS with CLARITY* on that which you earnestly desire.

*ELIMINATE* the great noise of sounding cymbals of empty vessels

*STOP the BLAME GAME* - stop blaming your past for your present realities, yes sure your mistakes of the past must have made a great contribution to how your today is BUT there is no road to the past, all roads lead forwards to the future.

Stop blaming your parents for how your life has turned out, don't forget that as soon as a man reaches the age of reasoning, he becomes directly responsible for what becomes of his life.

Stop blaming your poor background for your continued romance with poverty - it is not your fault that you were born into a poor family, Mother Nature put you there so that you can escape out of poverty by dint of your own hard work, so it is your fault if you are still romancing with poverty even when you ought to have bid it an eternal farewell.

Stop blaming others for your state of unhappiness, happiness is a choice and you can choose it; if you refuse to be happy, nobody can help you.

Today, don't just wish it, work it and free yourself from all entanglements of struggles that do not pay you any dividend.

Choose your struggles

The 1st Of January 2020 - Happy New Month

It is the 1st of January 2020, the beginning of a brand new month, the FIRST month of the year of our Lord, Two thousand and Twenty (2020).

It is another God-given opportunity for us to make a go at life and living; to erase the bad memories of the past year and concentrate on moving forward.

Interesting things would happen in this month but the most interesting is that you shall witness it all and be alive to tell the tale.

In this month, God shall re-write your history, and you shall have every reason to rejoice.

In the place of stones in the mouth, He would give you meat

In the place of rock, He would give you bread

In the place of bitterness, He would give you honey

In the place of barrenness, He would give you children

In the place of mourning, He would give you joy

In the place of lack, He would supply all your NEEDS

In the place of joblessness, He would lift your head up

When your detractors confound you, He would raise a Banner of protection

When they come against you in seven ways, He shall scatter them in a hundred ways

He would provide the Strong Tower into which you shall run in and be Almightily protected

He shall not allow you to be put to shame

He would uphold you by the Power of His Mighty Right Hand

And any tongue that shall rise up in judgement against you, He shall deal with

He is God, He is your Father, He loves you so much, He would bear you in His Palms and nobody can prize you away from Him.

That is my prayer for you this 1st day of this new month of January 2020, by the 31st of January, we shall take stock.

It is also my prayer for myself

Happy New Month

Do have a great month

Today

Bless and be Blessed
