And The 5th Month Is Here!

 


And The 5th Month Is Here!

 


Exciting

Amazing!

Awesome!

Exhilarating!

 

Finally, the long awaited 5th month of the year 2021 is here - the month of May.

The second month in the second quarter of the year 2021.

A new chapter has been given to us by God so that we might continue with the critical assignment He gave to us.

If He has kept us away from all the noisome pestilence and preserved us up until this day, it is only because our assignments are yet to be done.

It is of His Own Grace and Mercy that we are not consumed

Today I pray for you, that God shall

-      enable you to experience growth and elevation

-      allow your borders to expand and your coasts to enlarge

-      perfect all that concerns you, He shall fight your battles and you shall just hold your peace

-      not allow any weapon fashioned against you to prosper and to condemn every tongue that shall rise up in judgement against you 

-      be Your Provider, Protector, Shield and Guardian and under His very watchful Eyes, nothing shall be by any means hurt you.

-      allow your enemies to be at peace with you

Grace is made more manifest and abundant in the month of May.

May, May favour you beyond your wildest dreams.

Always be grateful

Welcome to May

Happy New Month

Every Adult Male Should Know These 5 Things

 


Every Adult Male Should Know These 5 Things

 



Having come this far on the ladder of life, and seeing things from a different perspective now, here's what I think every adult male should know.

There are 5 of them in the main and a little 6th

1. Don't Depend On Anyone To Validate You.

Create a video if you want to make a TV show. Write a book and self-publish it if you want to.

Find a business that wants to be sold and another that wants to buy it and position yourself in the middle if you want to be an investment banker. You are not required to be "selected" by Goldman Sachs.

 Find a way to learn online if you want to get an education. To be X, you don't need a degree in X. (unless legally).

 2. Don't Entrust Your Self-Esteem To Anyone

When I've met a woman, I've essentially given her my entire self-esteem to look after.

Then she gets tired of me, bored with me, and dumps me, robbing me of my self-esteem before I can reclaim it.

It's difficult enough to maintain one's own self-esteem, let alone yours.

Maintain your own sense of self-worth.

3. Health

Men die at a younger age than women.

There are only three things you can do to improve your fitness. I'll throw in a fourth.

a.     Good night's rest.

b.     Eat healthily.

c.     Low levels of anxiety.

d.     Exercise is also beneficial to all of the above.

To me, stress is evident. 

A number of men died as a result of a stroke they suffered while arguing about property or money or having heated arguments over things that don't matter much.

If you don't get enough sleep, you'd likely get sick. 

And if you don't eat well, you'd be hungry most of the time and that will make you sad. 

But that's all the truth you need to know, you don't have to read any books on the topic.

Fill in the blanks with how you intend to complete the tasks mentioned above. It makes no difference.

If you want a high quality of life into old age, you can do it as long as you are mindful of how critical the above four are.

4. Ingenuity

You become professional when you are imaginative. Try to do one creative thing that makes you happy every day.

This is one way to make yourself the most important person in your life.

What is the reason for this? And your own view of the world's beauty or horror would be special. It is going to be yours. It's yours.

Does this seem to be self-centered? It most certainly is.

However, a 1% increase in creativity every day turns you into a giant in the eyes of others.

You will feel healthy, have stronger interpersonal relationships, and be able to accomplish your goals.

5. Resign From Your Job

A work would not allow you to become wealthy. You must either start a business or have several sources of income to become wealthy. A work is just one source of revenue. "Me, Inc." could broaden its horizons.

Don't leave your job the next day. I didn't leave my job until I'd been running my side business for 18 months. Take responsibility for your actions. Just take it slowly and steadily, working toward this target every day.

Why do you feel the need to become wealthy? Is this something that only a man can notice?

Not at all. This is something that women should do as well. But, traditionally, men have been the breadwinners in our country, and if you can do it, you can feel better about yourself.

So go ahead and do it.

Oh, there's one more, and it's pretty self-evident. See? Always be truthful. Self-evident.

That's it

Thank you for reading

Stop Limiting Yourself

 

Stop Limiting Yourself

 


I have since found out that our reality is a reflection of our strongest belief

You see everything that happens in life from the lens of that which you hold very dear, that which you would never want to be parted from and this does not have to be right or wrong, it is just your belief.

Do you know that there are so many limiting beliefs that people are carrying around and which has limited them in many ways than one?

Do you know that these limiting beliefs are just how we are wired from our nature and nurture?

Do you know that the first step towards freeing oneself from those limiting beliefs is to understand them as what they are - limiting beliefs

Do you know that limiting beliefs are not to be celebrated nor bragged with?

When you say, this is how I am, are you really defining yourself or are you echoing what you have heard about you?

When you say that's the way I used to do it, are you really crucifying yourself or marking yourself?

A thousand and one ways by which we limit ourselves - in our thoughts, by our words, in our actions.

I'm going to share an insight with you:

If you grew up around people with a negative mindset about success and wealth, the likelihood that you would walk the same exact rope is 99.9% and that belief would hold you back a lot unless and until you do something about it.

My message to you today is to stop limiting yourself, you are much more than you think or even know, give yourself permission to grow beyond your own shadows.

Let me ask you some direct questions:

Are you comfortable with who you are at this very moment?

Is there something in your life that you would like to change?

If yes, what is it?

How important is this change for you?

Why hasn't this change happened at this point in your life?

When you reflect on these questions you might discover some resistance that's holding you back from getting what you want.

This resistance is most likely the cause of your self limiting beliefs.

Question those beliefs,, because I see to many people who are holding themselves back and accept a life that they don't truly want...

While they have so much potential that they're not using to their advantage.

 Here's the deal:

Getting rid of self limiting beliefs... creates more potential.

More potential equals more action.

More action equals more results.

Until next time, have an awesome day!

What Does 'Doing' Mean To You?

 


What Does 'Doing' Mean To You?

 


This may seem like a very simple question and it may actually be but the answer you give may even surprise you.

It is often said that a man who knows how to do will always have a job - right?

Which therefore suggests that there is a wide gulf between knowing and doing

It is in the doing of things that we experience the vicissitudes of life and each storm we overcome teaches us some key ingredients for life and living.

These include:

1. Always Have a Plan A, B, C and D. You never know which one will work.

People have lost their tools and implements of work at one fell swoop but because they had adjunct tools, they did not feel the loss as much.

People have lost their jobs without notice - just went to work and were given a letter of redundancy - but because they had already started some side hustle, they did not feel the impact of the job loss greatly

So having other plans aside Plan A would always turn out to be a saving grace!

2.      Panic Will Kill You

Keeping still or otherwise said being lazy will certainly cause one to panic in times of stress. It really makes no sense waiting for godot when you know that he is never going to come or if he actually does, it would take eons of years.

Get on with doing something! Being able to react instead of freeze up is important.

3.     It Takes Time To Get Good At Anything 

And it is popularly said that practice makes perfect

Doing is an active thing, it is a muscle that needs to be honed every day - remember that you miss 100% of the shots you never take. Doing is action, it is taking a shot but it also means taking a good aim before shooting, you don't just shoot at random.

If you want to master any act, do it every day and by the time you have mastered it, you would become proficient in it that it will be like second nature to you.

4.       Don't Let Fear Get In Your Way

 It needs to be repeated every now and then that fear is what keeps men tied to one spot, making them unable to make any movement at all.

Doing is fear that has been allowed to express itself.

Fear is always lurking around us but it we decide to do that which we are afraid of, we might just find out that we ought to have done it a long time ago.

Doing complicated things not only requires time but also requires that we go ONE STEP at a time.

Whenever you step out and fear steps in, address it properly so that it can leave your path and allow you to move on.

Doing starts with a decision to do and so if there is something you have left on the side burner all these years, the time has come to bring it out of the cooler and kick start it. Chances are that you would get to it in less than no time

But remember to give yourself time - don't put yourself under unnecessary pressure; and not to beat up yourself if you miss a step

You have to bear through all the frustrations doing brings and don't panic and give up.

Sometimes your plans fail and having a backup plan or a backup to the backup plan is necessary to stay afloat!

Having said that I want you to be yourself while doing the beats you need to do.

However if at any point in time, you need to talk to someone, remember we are just an email away. Just hola and we shall be there at your front door

Great to have you here

Do have a great day

Why Do You Fear F E A R?

 




Why Do You Fear F E A R?

 

Think about it

You have been struggling to make ends meet, grinding the 9 to 5, taking whatever nonsense your Boss lands on your head, swearing to yourself that one day you shall make it big and then one day, just one good day, out of the blues, an opportunity comes your way - let's call it a golden opportunity.

This opportunity lands before you and then you are like

What if it doesn't work?

What if I lose my money"

What if I make a mistake?

What if it is a scam?

What if I can't do it well?
What if I actually don't know what to do?

What if I can't figure it out?

What if the witches and wizards that have been following me around also spoil this one for me?

What if it's not God's will for me?

 

What if?

What if?

What if?

And yet you have not asked yourself that one what if question that could propel you forward

What if it works?

Yes

What if it works and you're able to make it big from there

What if it works and you're able to leave that 9 to 5 grind of yours that has made you more miserable than happy?

What if it works and you're able to live the life you have always dreamt of?

What if it works and you're able to say good bye to lack and penury?

 Yes

What if it works?

You see, FEAR is always our natural response to things that happen around us of which we have not been exposed to before they happened.

It's our minds default setting and is meant to protect us

But

Obsessive fear is not healthy. It's a made up story in our minds, a pattern we have created over time especially as adults.

Our ego also leads us into obsessive fear and that is what is holding most of us back and down.

You need to remember that FEAR is an acronym that stands for two phrases

False Evidence Appearing Real

and

Face Everything And Rise

Which would you rather choose?

Today I want to say to you just as it was said to us in the Scriptures thousands of years ago

FEAR NOT

The Bitter Truth That Gives Life An Edge

 




The Bitter Truth That Gives Life An Edge

 

 If you want something in life, you also have to want the costs of getting it.

Most people want the reward without the risk.

The shine without the grind.

But you can’t have a destination without a journey.

And a journey always has costs

So instead of thinking about what you want, first ask yourself:

“What am I willing to give up to get it?”

Or, for those inevitably hard days:

"What is worth suffering for?"

Seriously, think about it - If you want the six-pack abs, you have to want the sore muscles, the sweaty clothes, the morning or afternoon workouts, and the healthy meals.

If you want the successful business, you have to also want the long days, the stressful business decisions, and the possibility of failing several times to learn what you need to know to succeed.

And the same general philosophy holds true for HEALING any source of pain in your life – you have to want to WORK through the pain, step by step.

Regardless of what you want the next chapter of your life to look like, you have to consistently DO things that support this idea.

 An idea, after all, isn’t going to do anything for you until you do something productive with it.

 n fact, as long as that great idea is just sitting around in your head, it’s doing far more harm than good.

 Your subconscious mind knows you’re procrastinating on something that’s important to you.

The required work that you keep postponing causes stress, anxiety, fear, and usually more procrastination – a vicious cycle that continues to worsen until you interrupt it with positive ACTION.

That's the brutal truth!

The best action you can take right now, though, is CHANGING HOW YOU THINK about the actions you need to take

And there is a path.

I have walked this path many times. Several decades ago, in quick succession, I dealt with several significant, unexpected losses and life changes back-to-back, including losing my best childhood friend to the cold hands of death - he was just 17 - losing another friend to death due to cardiac arrest, financial unrest, and more.

The weight of these dire circumstances had me STUCK to say the least, riveted to one place and I was avoiding the very actions I needed to take to heal and move forward.

But, somehow I knew that I had to live for them and that I had to be strong and so by changing my thinking, these circumstances became the proving ground for achieving renewed happiness and beauty in my life.

The key is to understand that no matter what happens, or what challenges you face, you can choose your response, which dictates pretty much everything that happens next.

Truly, the greatest weapon you have against pain. anxiety, negativity and stress is your ABILITY TO CHOOSE one present thought and action over another – to train your mind to make the best of what you’ve got in front of you, even when the journey is harder than you expected.

Yes, YOU CAN change the way you think and respond to life! And once you do, you can master a new way to be.

And we are just one email away, should you need someone to talk to.
