PLAY BY A DIFFERENT SET OF RULES

The only thing that stands between a man and what he wants from life is often the will to try it and the faith to believe that it is possible... Richard M. De Vos, Billionaire Entrepreneur. If you think more in critical terms, you will observe that your mind does not have to work very hard to believe all the negative stuff you think about yourself. It is an easier trend to believe you are not good enough, not able to trail- blaze, not to be accepted and all of those negative thoughts.  You see, most of the improvements in your life come from changing the negative beliefs or thought patterns you have about yourself and your potential. Personal growth comes from changing your beliefs about what you expect you can do and about what is possible for you.  The supremely confident person thinks, beliefs, and expects with every cell and fibre of their being that they will succeed and win in life. Self-doubters always expect to fail or lose or they simply stay neutral and accep

DEALING WITH THE NEXT-LEVEL CHALLENGE

I believe it's the heart desire of vision driven people to advance and make progress in specific areas of interest. As we cultivate these desires in our hearts, it is important that we get ready to yield to the experiences that comes with a next -level increase.  We celebrate our victories when we have our heart desires met, but on a second thought, those hearts desires have generated a next level challenge which we have to deal with at different points. For instance you were trusting God for a child, and now the child has come, you have celebrated the answered prayer but you have reduced hours of sleep, you are a bit stressed out, sometimes you wish you could hand the baby over to your mum and have some good sleep you know. The idea is this, the desire has been met, and the challenges are there to train you as you deal with them.  My younger brother who has been enthusiastic about studying in the UK after going through the rigorous processes is now living  his dreams an

WHAT TIME IS IT?

Hello friends, hope you all are having a great year already. Just few weeks ago, we wished our families and friends a happy new year- with high expectations.  And few days from now, we will say bye bye to January and we will usher in another month. The year is already one month gone.  What have you achieved so far? Are you still lying down all covered up in dust? You haven't stood up yet? Are you still crying over those spilled milk? Are you still lost?  Whatever you may be going through, I want you to know that time waits for no man.  And while you are still there wallowing in self pity,  your mates have gone far, already achieving their set goals. There's still time for you my friend. Stand up and dust yourself up.  There's greatness inside of you. Why not spark up that little light in you. You have cried enough, regretted enough, blamed enough. Now, it is time for you to do yourself some good by setting up your life. Get up and move my friend.  When you ha

BASING YOUR DECISIONS ON VALUES

A friend of mine boldly told me that her mother said, "To live long you must be selfish". I pondered over this statement for a while and i wondered why and how such line of thought could spring up from a motherly figure. I am not being judgemental but then  I thought about It and as much as I could relate to that but I would like to share my analysis and paradigm. Possibly she might have had her shares of disappointments, heartbreaks, betrayals and an a consistent negative response to her genuine motives. However this piece is neither to agree nor disagree with her opinion because most often than not we are shaped by our experiences and choices.    As much as I respect the underpinning rationale behind her assumptions and choice of dealing with her experiences, it is ideal to understand how much our rash ideologies and actions affect the people around us. Responding to the issues of life from the stand point of how it affects us alone can push us into formulating i
