Is my Normal Normal?

2016-10-10T15:29:00.000+01:00

We are wired (designed) to make decisions, consciously and or sub-consciously, that will ensure that we remain or return to our "Normal" also referred to as "Comfort Zone".

This is why, more often than not, you can take a person from a poor environment, plant them in a rich environment, give them time they will turn the new environment to look like the old one unless something is done to change the "normal" they carry inside.

This 'normal aka comfort zone' was designed to keep us safe and comfortable; to enable us to make decision to bring us out of danger and uncomfortable place back to the normal – place of refuge, happiness and productivity.

How is a Normal Created?

Our normal is created by the physical, mental and spiritual environment we live in for a considerable period of time, which in turn, dictates what we know and experience we have. As we live these experiences, we record them and adopt them to be normal – consciously or subconsciously.

For instance, walk in a room and see a spec of dirt on the glass window – it bothers you but you are busy and do nothing about it. Next day you see it again and think, I should clean that but again busy day and the spec remains for week and soon you don't even see it while physically it is still there. Then you hire an intern, she/he finds the spec on the window and do nothing because, it is normal to the environment.

Once I understood that, I began to examine the normal I have adopted about my relationships, finances, quality of life and service to humanity. I became conscious of what I allow my children to experience and accept as NORMAL.

Is my Normal Normal?

How can we say one's normal is not normal? it is their normal to be had in the first place.

It will be quite presumptuous of me to tell anyone that their normal is not normal. I think it is all subjective to what they want to experience and accomplish in life.

There was time, growing up, I believed it was normal and acceptable to be fearful of new anything. There was a time I believed it was normal to struggle for money and time – after all, if we had all the money and time, how will we appreciate God when He provides? So not only did I thought and believed it was normal to lack, but I expected it so that when "God" provides I will have a testimony, isn't that the whole purpose of having God in one's life? I thought…

No matter how much money I earned, I always bought "used" staff; used car, used TV, used house, used clothes, used everything was full in my used house…I saw no problem with that paradigm, it was Ok for me as long as the 'thing' was working, it didn't matter that it came down from other people.

Today I have a new normal, which made this old normal abnormal or less useful to me. I experienced a new environment (places and people) that changed my knowledge and I was open to change from within. This new normal has allowed me to make decisions and choices that create repeatedly this normal regardless of where I am.

Do I need a New Normal?

The normal we carry inside is so strong so that, even when we hear something good and exciting about a new normal, we may be excited and motivated for a while, but when we are asked to make a step out into the new environment, we make all kinds of excuses not to – we become afraid to change what we are used to – accustomed to, no matter how bad or average it is.

Tell your friend about a new business opportunity; show them what it will mean to them, their children and family. Show them how it will change their life . . . they become excited and want in BUT big problem, to get in, they will have to CHANGE lifestyle by saving 30% of their monthly income for 6 months – ask them to sign up TODAY and listen to the excuses they will pour out.

The problem is not lack of time, capital or inspiration; the issue is, they will have to WALK OUT of the current NORMAL to a new normal and that is SCARY for anyone. Whether they will do it or not it will depend on how TIRED they are of the current normal and determination to change it.

Where does determination come from? how deep they have been immersed in the new normal INSIDE.

So What?

Is your current normal serving you? Do you enjoy the life you live? are you able to meet your need and have enough money and time to serve others? Would you be happy to pass on this 'normal life' you have to your children and children's children?

Want to Change?

To create a new normal, simply visualize and enunciate the normal you would like to live. Cut out from newspaper or download from Internet images of the new normal you want to adopt, speak about this new normal (first to yourself – in the mirror) several times daily.

TV commercial is the best illustrations how we are hooked to fall in love with a new product and buy it. They show in the telly a new product and what it can do, they get a person you like to hold it and use it and say something nice about it…they show you this commercial over and over and over until you walk in the supermarket you buy the product – they have influenced your choice by shifting your comfort zone using the way we are designed.

As you 'visualize' the new normal you want and 'hear' it (with emotions), soon your mind begins to adopt it as a desirable, safe and comfortable place to be AND will begin to allow you to see and act on opportunities that will create that new normal for you.

This is why, for example, if you decide you want to buy a certain car, you see it more often than before. it is not that there are more of them on the road, but because you have decided this type of car is important to your future…you mind allow you to see them everywhere you go.

The same goes to opportunities and connections; imagine how many opportunities you do not see every day because you have not decided on the new normal you want to create.

…you are a thought, vision and sound away from the new normal to become your experience.

PhD - SignPosts 2 DreamLife

2016-07-25T19:28:00.000+01:00

SignPost - a sign giving information such as the direction and distance to a nearby town, typically found at a crossroads; warning, instruction such as speed or alert pedestrian crossing ahead.

Imagine you are driving on a busy public road, full of cars, cyclists and pedestrians but there are no road rules, you can drive any side and speed, there are no road marks or road signs – would you feel safe? What chance do you have in arriving at your destination in one piece?

Imagine again you are driving in a foreign city and you arrive in a major intersection where the motorway splits into four major highways – but there are no overhead signs to tell you which one leads to where (and you have no GPS – Navigation Equipment in your car)…frustration is the word that comes to mind.

It is not enough to drive safely; you have to drive in the right direction. This is why we have road signs and road marks.

Road rules, signs and marks are there to instruct, direct, inform and warn all road users with safety and security as the primary aim. They are there to guide all road users so that each can reach their destination safely.

As we travel in life towards our destiny, DreamLife, to live a life as we would like to live – and life as we were intended to live; along the route the almighty (universe for others) has placed road signs and road marks for everyone so that they act as our guide and safe guard to our intended destination.

Failure to read, understand and abide by the life road signs and road marks will lead to delays in arriving to your destination or end up in a wrong destination all together.

The following are what I believe to be the three major road signs [PhD – Peace, Happiness, Delivery] to DreamLife:

1. Peace – inner calmness

Peace as a signpost to DreamLife is not absence of battles and struggles, it is rather a product of inner assurance, inner knower, that comes from knowing you are at the right place and are doing the right thing. It transcends from a soul that is not conflicted on what it is becoming in the process of what it is doing.

When you teach, you become a teacher – educator, one that brings lights to those in darkness.

When you mentor, you become a coach – guide, counselor, trainer, instructor and a teacher.

When you steal, you become a thief – crooked, bent in mind and spirit, violator of others

Are you at peace, deep down inside, in what you become out of what you do? Do you find rest at the end of a busy and hard day doing what you do? If not, re-evaluate, your soul is communicating to you that you have missed a turn.

Judas traded (betrayed Jesus Confidence) for 30 pieces of silver; he thought he had a good deal. In the end he threw the money away and killed himself – he had no peace in the person he had become, he had become a traitor.

Always strive to go to a place where you are at peace in what you do and what it makes you become…money or no money, fame and power or not…are you in peace within?

2. Happiness – Fulfillment and Satisfaction

Travel back to the place and time where you were most happy. If you examine the root cause of your happiness, you will discover it was a result of deep fulfillment and satisfaction at the time. Fulfillment and Satisfaction is a product of being and doing what is right at the time and place.

Nobody likes to stay in an environment where they are not happy; we are designed to function properly when happy. We are designed to always seek things and places that makes us happy the most – the tragedy is, we don't realize, to be truly happy, we must be and do who we were meant to be.

When you feel sad (unhappy, unfulfilled and unsatisfied), take a closer look…you must have wondered away from your path to DreamLife. Always strive to surround yourself with people, places and productive activities that takes you back to a happy place, without infringing the happiness of others – of course.

3. Delivery – Competence and ProVision

We know something is wrong when a car won't move; we clearly understand a plane needs fixing when it runs speedily along the runway but would not lift off the ground…why? They would not function the way they are designed to. No sane person takes a car to the garage for not flying, it will be absurd and that person will need to see a Doctor.

Delivery as a road to DreamLife signpost is a function of design, input and output. A brand new plane will need fuel and a competent pilot to fly, right? Likewise, a brand new no squabble car needs fuel and a driver to move.

Competence and Productivity [Producing] (or lack of it) is a clear sign either we are not doing the right thing or we are doing the right thing in a wrong way or we are doing the right thing in a right way at a wrong place and or time. When you are competent and there is no productivity i.e. you solve problems but there is no money? STOP and reconsider your approach.

When you become competent at delivery of something i.e. solving a certain problem, two things happen. ONE: You attract those who NEED your competence and, TWO: You attract those who will PROVIDE for your competence. If neither of these happens, consistently over a good period, you need to STOP and re-evaluate.

Conclusion:

When you are in Peace and Happy in what you do and who you are becoming as a result of what you do, AND, you deliver Competence and Productivity. Rest assured, given time, you will arrive at the place you have designed – a DreamLife as you desire.

Generational Thinking

2016-06-22T08:32:00.001+01:00

When I look at my father and my father's father, I see many choices that they made which, has huge impact on my life today. My great great grandfather decided to move from South – West Kenya to North – Eastern Tanzania, which essentially translated for me (160 years later) being a proud Chagga from Tanzanian as opposed to a Taita from Kenya. Sometimes I wonder what my life and my children's life would have turned out to be had he (great great grand father) not made that decision.

My father was working as a missionary in Nakuru Kenya, back in 1976 he decided to relocate to Dar Es Salaam Tanzania; the result, I grew up in Dar – made friends I made, went to schools I went, had experience I had and here I am today . . . my childhood and consequently my children's childhood came down from my father's choice to raise us up in Dar, Tanzania.

Today, we have many people, particularly men, who make life changing decisions in an impulse not knowing it will remain in the family for generations to come – be it positive or negative.

What decision are you making today which will have a significant impact in your life and that of the generations to come. Think about a business you are thinking to start, a company you are building or about to build, a school, college or family.

Critically I think the most important decision which you need to make are 1. Profession, 2. Career, 3. Life Partner, 4. Geographical Location to live, 5. Association|Affiliates...in light to YOUR CONTRIBUTION to the Society.

I would love for EVERY person to do at least one thing in a lifetime that will remain a memorial to the generations to come. Something that will cause the next generation to say, we are happy this person went before us and paved the way for us.

But here you are, thinking only about your car, your job, your house, your wife and your children…shame on you if you die having only provided for just those!

What are you going to be, do and have as a seed for generations to come?

Are You Common Man?

2016-06-01T05:16:00.000+01:00

Recently, opposition party parliamentarians said, "the current budget will create uncommon hardship to a common man". I began to think, if this is true, then should we change the budget or change the common man? Which one is possible, easier or sustainable – changing the budget or change the common man? Who is this common man?

Who is a common man?

Merriam Webster Dictionary defines a common man (commoner) as, "person lacking class or rank distinction or special attributes". Other dictionaries defines a commoner as "a person of average means and life". Another definitions, I am told is, "a person with no significant contribution to the society".

I think I like best the definition that placed a common man as a man of average means and life. Why would a person remain common if being that brings nothing but pain and suffering?

I believe it is because – this person has chosen to remain average:

-Average Thoughts: Self, Survival, Me, Myself, My Family

-Average Dreams: Enough resources to live average life

-Average Learning: Just enough to be able to do my work

-Average Actions: The bare necessary to get by

-Average Results: Predicated by the action

Are Common men born or made?

If you take a commoner being a person with average life – leading to little or no significant contribution to the society, then I believe it is safe to say that some people are born common (though they don't have to die common) and some become common by virtue of their actions or lack thereof.

You can substitute the word common with poor and you will still be describing the action of a common man. The illustration below depicts 10 things that common (average)[poor] people do. Do any of these and you can guarantee your stay in commoner status.

How do you defect from being common?

How do you defect from the commoner status? Follow the advice of Steve Harvey, he said, "watch what poor (common) people do and swear not to do it, ever"

You can (we ought to) create a plan (begin with a vision, dream) followed by strategy to navigate from commoner status to uncommon status.

In addition to NOT doing what common (poor) people do, here is what you will need to BE and DO if you will get a transfer from commoner world to un-common men island:

1. You will need to have un-common DREAM,

2. You will need to have un-common FAITH,

3. You will need to have un-common MENTOR,

4. You will need to have un-common ACTIONS, and,

5. You will need to have un-common PERSISTENCE.

SEE you at the Unc-common men Island.

You Don't Belong Here!

2016-05-02T06:08:00.002+01:00

A man walked into a concourse of a premium exclusive banking hall in New York and casually strolled towards the available Teller; half-way to the window, the security and the bank hallway supervisor grabbed him and pulled him to the side door – he was clearly out of place from the way he was dressed, surely a man dressed in a cheap suit and shoes, carrying an old suitcase like him could not be one of their customers, after all they are a premium exclusive bank. With that in mind, he was

shown, rather shoved, into the exit side door quickly so as to avoid other customer's look of disdain and embarrassment.

As he strolled out, he turned around, removed a shabby hat and showed them his ID. It was Mr Henry Ford (Founder – Owner of Ford Motors); he was their No.1 customer, banking more than half of the other customers combined. Long story short, Mr Ford changed bank despite numerous apologies from the bank.

I must admit, Mr Ford was a bit unfair because it is a reality of life that people will judge you FIRST by your external appearance. BUT, again it is a powerful lesson to us all that – though we tag and label people initially by outward appearance, we should not stop there, find out more – dig a little deeper. Just because he is in an expensive suit, does not mean he is a genuine businessperson, he could be a bank robber or a conman.

But I want to go a little deeper, I would like to propose that we search inward and see how many times we have written ourselves out based on the way we look today or in the past. We idolise others we see on TV, Internet and Newspaper – we compare them to our present and past and we tell ourselves "we don't belong" to that class and we shove ourselves out.

Pay attention to the inward dialog that you have when you encounter someone or something that you feel is Superior to you. What do you tell yourself? Do you disqualify yourself from the race even before you begin to run it? Remember, you lose 100% of the race that you don't run, but if you run, even when you don't win the first place you may get consolation prize and get the experience to run better next time – who knows.

The most detrimental force is not from others telling us where we don't belong; the most powerful force comes from within when we tell ourselves that we don't belong. When we reach a place where we already have convinced ourselves that we don't belong, it does not matter anymore - no amount of inspiration or motivation will help. At this moment, the only hope that you have comes from Education - enlightenment - someone to help you see from within.

My intention today is to inspire you to think before you say, "I don't belong", how many times you have said inwardly, I don't belong with people who have incredible wealth; I don't belong with people who have wonderful marriages and family; I don't belong with people who have more money than the can spend in their entire life; I don't belong with people who are learned…and with that you walk away from their presence and deny yourself the opportunity to get what you know you earnestly desire.

The fact that you see and desire those things, it is a proof that there is something in you that says – we belong with that, give it a go – besides you have nothing to lose, since even if you lose, you gain experience and wisdom.

My Counsel?

Get Closer to the people who have what you desire, clearly they know and do something you don't. Pay the Price it takes to Learn and Apply the Knowledge from them and for heaven's sake, Stop Idolizing and Worshipping them – give them their due respect but remember they are just like you but with little knowledge and experience that you need.

Blessing Your Way

POWER in the SPOKEN WORD!

2016-04-28T13:21:00.001+01:00

Blessing and Curses – are Words

When you curse someone, you utter words that carries certain meaning and consequently create whatever the word was sent to create – both in the mind and eventually in the physical realm. Likewise, when you bless someone, you speak words that carries the spirit behind the word and inevitably create the world that the word was intended to.

When you take public office, you are forced to take an oath i.e. you swear (speak words of intention). When are summon to court, you have to swear. When you take a partner in marriage, you have to swear before God and men. When you get a job inter-view what do you do? Words, words, words – why is this?

We begin to speak before we can read or write; if you cannot speak, you learn how to use sign language or written words, one way or another – the universe around us forces us to use words to inter-act with one another physically and also to inter-act with the creator of the universe through what we call Prayer – utterance of words.

So what are these so called words?

a word is a specific combination of alphabet aimed at conveying a thought from one entity to another, usually received in image form.

When I say "Cat" what did you see? the letters C-A-T or the image of a cat? what if I say Black Cat, did you see it? again let's try, "fatty black clean cat" you saw it, right?

YES, we now understand that words carries images – and more importantly, words carries emotions. When someone you like says, "I love you", there is a tingly warm feeling running down your spine, right? what about when someone you like say, "I hate you", or your boss say, "I hate your guts" how about that?

But today I want to add one more entity – words can be used to carry a spirit (influence) from one person to another. This is what happens when you curse or bless someone. You use words to transfer a spirit that enables or dis-ables the intended recipient.

The most POWERFUL word is the one that we tell ourselves and believe it. The words that we talk ourselves to believe have crippled many otherwise powerful people.

How often have you told yourself "I can't do that'', "I am not like them", "They are powerful", "They come from privileged background", "I am not educated enough or rich enough", "I am ugly", "I am short", "Who do you think you are".

…and with that, we remove ourselves from the platform; little do we understand we have lost 100% of the venture we don't try. We don't want to be disappointed, we fear failure and shame for failing; even when we hear our heroes how they failed 1,000 times before they made it, we talk ourselves into believing they are different and special – it cannot happen to us.

Solution Words:

Here is what I propose you do, begin to audit what you tell yourself; better still every morning – talk yourself into being someone or acquiring something you have always wanted. I know you say, how can I tell myself something that I don't believe in? This is the beauty of words – keep on telling yourself what you DESIRE and WANT and you will eventually BELIEVE and naturally MOVE towards it.

Tell yourself "I am beautiful, handsome", "I am courageous", "I am married with three children", "I am healed", "I am a CEO of International Firm", "I am Powerful and Influential", "I am the best there is in xxx", "I am an asset in my family, community and my nation", "I am that I am", "I am a deliverer to someone", "I am a problem solver and I am making millions helping people"

When we speak these words, they CREATE at the beginning a little cloud but as you continue to speak it to yourself and later to a confidant and eventually a group of people – IT SHALL BE AS YOU SAY!

Kiss Your Own Frog

2016-03-30T05:44:00.002+01:00

Story is told (Old English Folklore) of a prince whose evil auntie turned him to frog so that her son (auntie's son) could inherit the Kingdom; the myth continuous to tell that the only way to turn the

boy back from frog to human was a genuine passionate kiss from the right girl at the right time and place.

A few months later, an orphan girl mourning the loss of her parents came to fetch water at the pond, she sees the frog and stretch her hand to catch it; when she does, she leans forward to kiss the frog as she be mourns her parents. To her surprise, the frog instantly turned to a handsome young man . . . long story short she became the Queen of a wealthy King.

The moral of the story is, you have your frog out there waiting to be kissed. You may have kissed many frogs that did not turn to prince charming – it does not mean the right frog for you is not there, you keep searching (caution: beware of poisonous frogs).

What is your frog – it is that something you give your Passionate Touch and it turns into a Wonderful Success – it may be a Business, Career, Employment, Charity, Entrepreneurship . . . it's your frog, find it.

There is something unique to you, something that when you (and only you) touch it with your passion, it evolves into a magical sensational adventure flourishing with success.

I wish I could tell you exactly where you frog is; I wish there was a short cut to finding one's frog. Bu, the truth of the matter is, all we get in life are clues towards the pond where our frog is.

I would like to share with you what I believe are the Clues, road Marks if you will, to Signal if you are in the right path towards your frog or not.

Clue 1: Passion

Are you passionate in what you are doing? Does it give you goose bump, peace, joy and satisfaction even when it leads not to money, power or fame? If what you do is a mundane task just to pay bills, go back in-ward and ask yourself – what is it that I am passionate about? You will never succeed (be creative and innovative) doing something you hate.

Clue 2: Competence

Ask yourself, when people call you for advice, solution to their challenge or problem, what is it that they seek from you? We go to a Doctor when we are sick, we go to Lawyer for legal advice. There is something people see in you, which keeps bringing them back to you, what, is it? Find it, Cultivate it, sharpen and raise the standard to the highest level you can.

Clue 3: Favour

What you do and where you do it is crucial. Doing the right thing at a wrong time or place is catastrophic. Pay attention to a place where you see favour towards you and what you do – your frog is not far from where you are liked, loved and favoured. When you or what you offer is rejected – consider, most probably you are not where you should be.

Follow these three clues and you will soon meet your frog; when you do – kiss the heaven out of it – do it with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind and what it turn to a wealthy King and you inherit a wealthy Kingdom designed for you and you only.

Mzee – Unatuachaje?

2016-03-18T06:09:00.003+00:00

Every time I visit our shamba, just about time I leave the shamba, shamba boy – if I have not given him anything – he would ask me, as I walk into my car, "Sasa Boss Unatuachaje?" literal translation – "Boss, how do you leave us?" meaning, I should not leave them without some means to improve their livelihood in the shamba in my absence.

I thought about this one day as I was leaving the shamba, one day on my death bed, my children, grandchildren, friends and relative will look me in the eyes as I am about to leave this earthly existence into a better world, they will have the same question to me, "Timothy, HOW do you leave us?"

I want to pause this very same question to you Sir, Madam, Young and Old . . . what will your answer be when your time come to exit this earthly world when you are asked, "How do you leave us – Madam|Sir?" would you have the guts to smile and tell a tale of the legacy you are leaving behind?

I would like to inspire you, regardless of where you are, to begin to think of what you are going to leave behind when you time is up – when your name is called to be absent from the body and be presented before the Almighty God, have you thought and began to prepare your legacy for the generation that is going to come after you?

No Regrets – this is the life I have chosen to live; that at the end of my life I will have no regrets.

For this reason, I will not allow fear of what would people think, fear of people, fear of failure, fear of criticism, fear of unknown stop me…I am here to do one thing and one thing only – live my life to the fullest – in service to those that I am called to be their servant.

_hire a car? return in a better state vs state you took it earlier on,

_tenancy ended? I leave that house in a better condition vs you found it,

_when I leave a hotel room likewise? do you leave mess or order?

_when you leave someone's presence, are they better off vs before you met?

The philosophy is LEAVE every-thing and every-place in a better state than the way you receive it. When you leave the world – those close to you, will they say you have left them better off or worse than before you entered their Lives?

So, question – UTATUACHAJE when your time is up?

Create a New Normal Today!

2016-02-25T04:10:00.001+00:00

– WHAT is Normal?

Normal is what we have accepted as Okay, usual and|or typical but more importantly normal is what is Expected, other factors considered, normal is what is typically agreed to be a standard considering what it is, place, people and environment around it.

For instance, it is normal, in some places (and usually expected and contingency set for it) for people to be late while in other places it is not normal and never tolerated. Same thing, normal in one setting and outright offensive in another.

WHERE do we get our DEFINITION of NORMAL?

Usually we look back (past and present) to decide what is normal and what is not. If we all had one eye, a person with two eyes will appear to be not normal and perhaps a monster – but today two eyes are normal and one is not.

The sad thing with normal is, once we accept the 'normal' that has been handed down to us; we resign inwardly, "this is the way it is supposed to be", we think and never question it or raise a finger to try and change it. Whatever it is, will remain that way until kingdom come.

Here are a few things that we objectively call 'normal':

-normal to need (your) money to make more money,

-poor performance in school = poor performance in life,

-normal income, given my education, qualification and experience,

-not having own money is reason for being poor, broke and broken,

-feeling inferior towards those with more money, power or education,

-believe only what we see with natural eyes – discredit everything else,

-not attempting (thubutu) what others haven't done or done but failed,

-kazi ya Mungu haina makosa:: God's doing is without fault|error

Ask yourselves this, how many things have you accepted as normal and resigned to that fate? Even right now you are struggling in your mind and thoughts of things you believe are normal and should be left alone.

But what if what you call normal is not normal but it is what it has been made to be? what if what you resigned to be can actually change if you "change your mind"? You can have your own normal – separate from everyone else, you know!

HOW does one CHANGE his/her NORMAL?

We change our normal by replacing old normal with a new normal – beginning with a thought, belief, word and action.

Normal means comfortable, acceptable and expected…so when I change what is comfortable, acceptable (tolerated) and expected of me, I acquire a new normal. We cannot change anything we tolerate. . . normal is our "comfort zone", if you are comfortable in your current comfort zone...that's it, you are done...it starts with rejecting the current normal and embracing the new normal.

For instance, if it is normal for you to fall sick (or be broke) every other day; start by being "uncomfortable" with this norm, begin telling (speak loudly to) yourself hourly and daily, "I am healthy and wealthy, this is my norm" [hint: do not affirm what you don't want, speak and affirm what you WANT as if it is already in and with you - that is faith]

If you keep (persistently) telling yourself of this new normal - with intensity and passion, eventually you will believe it and more importantly you will begin to SEE Doors of OPPORTUNITIES (ideas and connections) that you will need to ACT upon to change your status quo and walaaa a new Normal appear.

How long this will take to materialize for you will depend on how PASSIONATE you have become in HATING, DISGUST of your current normal and ability to SEE inwardly your NEW normal as ALREADY in place. The more intense the passion the quicker the result...but direct your passion in SEEING yourself in possession of the new norm than in dreading the current norm.

Try it today . . . begin your journey of changing your normal!

Skills for Successful Life

2016-01-13T11:18:00.001+00:00

A successful footballer has mastered certain skills, both on and off the football field. Likewise, a successful Politician has mastered certain skills both on and off the office. In the same manner, a successful Boxer, Entertainer, Business Person, Entrepreneur etc they all have mastered certain skills both on and off their field of expertise.

This writ is an attempt to shortlist the half dozen skills successful people have in common in an attempt to decode their success.

What is a skill - knowledge plus ability equals skill, put in a proportion that brings competence. We learn the skills they have in common irrespective of their fields of expertise.

In no particular order, here are the skills that you will need to master, if you are to raise to the top of your game and lead your field:

One_Goal Setting – we all have limited resources at our disposal, especially time, thus it is of utmost important to know how we ought to assign our resources to what matters most and what will have greatest impact.

Two_Time Management - you are either on the way or in the way, you will need to have pre-set goals, priorities and established discipline if you are to raise above average. Time is well spent if effectively spent on a preset aim.

Three_Money Management - time is money and money is time, as we plan, budget, set priorities we must also have discipline to follow through. Money, like time, if not assigned a specific task before is acquired, it slips between our fingers.

Four_People Management – people if one of the greatest asset in any undertaking, if we learn how to influence them to willingly cooperate with our goals as opposed to forceful control. People are more productive|creative in cooperation than in duress.

Five_Information Management - we are bombarded with information every second, to be successful we must master the skills to separate wheat from chaff. We must decide what to tune into and what to ignore and let go.

Six_Stakeholders Management – whether you are employed, self-employed, entrepreneur or investor, there are people and organization whose interest is your business, take care of them closely, do you have skills to manage their expectations?

Seven_Failure Management - everyone who has ever done anything worthwhile has failed at some point, the key is to learn how to survive failure. Failing is not a problem or an issue, but are able to raise up from your failure?

The Desire to Win is Godly!

2015-10-27T12:07:00.000+00:00

We are all born with the desire to be on top, winner, No.1. The desire to win is Godly, the desire to win at any cost may not be, the desire to win even by violating the rights and or at the expense of others is Satanic [Demonic, Evil by Nature].

Every person born was born because he/she is a winner; a healthy adult male can release between 40 million and 1.2 billion sperm cells in a single ejaculation but ONLY one will reach the target ahead of all and get fertilized. That one in 40 million is YOU.

Napoleon Hill once said, “An educated man is not, necessarily, one who has an abundance of general or specialized knowledge. An educated man is one who has so developed the faculties of his mind that he may acquire anything he wants, or its equivalent, without violating the rights of others.”

What I am trying to say is, the DESIRE in you to be a WINNER is not EVIL; it is GODLY and VIRTUOUS in essence. How you go about it is another thing.

So how do you win against all odds, against all evil in the world without compromising your morality and beliefs?

#1: CHOOSE right now to live by Choice, not Chance, change begins within you.

#2: DEFINE specifically what your win is – in lifetime, 10yrs, 5yrs, 3yrs and 1yr.

#3: WRITE it down – there is a reason everything of value is written down, WRITE.

#4: STUDY what you consider your win – get in a group, buy a book, video, STUDY

#5: PLAN your ROUTE – you need a MAP for any destination you have not been.

#6: STICK to the plan – promise yourself to keep at it faithfully until you win.

#Choice

"Destiny is not a matter of chance; it is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for; it is a thing to be achieved" William Bryan

#Define

If we blindfold Mohammed Ally or Mike Tyson, anyone can win a fight against him –reason? He will not see his target. "It is virtually impossible to hit a target you cannot see" Zig Ziglar

#Write

What you do not write down, stays lingering in your mind, clogging its ability to efficiently create ideas to realize your desires. "Use your mind for creative thinking not for storage" Jim Rohn,

#Study

Be, Do, Have; you must become in order to do and consequently get what you desire. Study Law to become a Lawyer, Study Medicine to become a Doctor, Study Engineering to become an Engineer, Study Wealth, Happiness, Success, Prosperity, Health to BEcome it.

#Plan

"If you fail to plan, you are planning to fail" Old Adage,

#Stick

"If you fail to persist, you will persist in failing" Author Unknown

The Esau Generation

2015-09-30T06:32:00.001+01:00

A story is told of a hunter who, after a day's work came home empty handed, find his twin-brother, a tent_dweller, with a ravishing rabbit stew. Hungry as he was, he asked his brother for the meal and his brother said, "you can have it for a price", "what is the price", asked the hunter drooling for the meal, "rabbit stew, right now, for your place as first born son".

Without hesitation, driven by the pain of his hunger, he asked, "where do I sign?" and he sold his birthright (his inheritance and bright future) for a single_meal.

I tell this story to illustrate this one very crucial point; we all have short_term needs (and wants) and long_term goals. The trouble comes when we sacrifice the long-term goals at the altar of the short-term needs.

What I mean is this, you want to save_money for that business capital, buy a house, go back to college but for you to save money, you have to go without your ''usual'' eatery and dressy. Can you handle that? Save money or spend money to keep up your "image", short-term needs (wants rather) versus long term-goals (desire|dream)?

You work 9 – 5/6D a week but aspire to become entrepreneur, to do that you will have to cut down on your 9 – 5 or steal away some family, resting or God time in order to invest on the future you so desperately desire. Continue with employment, to satisfy your short-term needs (wants rather) over the long-term goals (desire|dream)?

Many of us have chosen to continue satisfying the short-term needs, praying and HOPING somehow God, Universe (or rich Uncle) will take care of our long-term goals. I am here to burst your bubble, unless YOU change, nothing WILL change for you; unless YOU INVEST in the future you desire, it will never come.

What we sow – we reap, likewise, what we reap – we have sown in the past. Look at your TODAY, it is the result of what you INVESTED YESTERDAY. if you don't like what you have today, DO SOMETHING with your TODAY.PRESENT so that you can have a DESIRED TOMORROW.

Sow laziness and unpreparedness, ignorance and lay-backness – you reap poverty and backwardness. Sow diligence, preparedness, knowledge and pro-activeness, spend well your time and money – reap wealth, long happy life - DreamLife.

If you are in Dar, I invite you to INVEST 2 hours of your time, come to a FREE Hekima Clinic Coaching Session this Friday 2nd October @ Victoria Service Station, 5pm to 7pm. This month we are looking at 7.Obstacles 2.DreamLife_do you know what is stopping you from working on your dream.

Confession of a Dream Killer

2015-09-22T10:34:00.006+01:00

I am a dream killer; I take shape, size, form and personality to blend in with my opponent – the dreamer with chief aim TO KILL the dream i.e. a hopeful future.

Here is how I work

#1. I aim to prevent conception by keeping the dreamer in ignorance,

#2. If the a dream is conceived, I induce abortion by fear, self-doubt and unbelief,

#3. If a dream is born, I kill the baby by poison called procrastination and mediocrity

Using ignorance as my keen tool, I have kept millions from thinking and hence dreaming – leading to no conception in the hearts of men. For the few thousands who manage to escape my vice and conceive, I have a powerful drug of concocted mix of fear and un-belief; if I can inject enough dose of this to a conceived dreamer, abortion is inevitable.

Yet still for few hundreds who fall through my hands conceiving and bearing a dream, I have a special assassination plan executed by two skilful assassins called procrastination and self-doubt, it is next to impossible to escape their powerful riffle – except for the very few who have learnt how to bullet proof their dream – baby.

Protect You and Your Baby

Here is what you need to do, if you are to protect your dream baby:

i. Deal with your Ignorance

You must be a "student" for life, study your dream, study from those who have done what you would like to do, get a mentor if you can or buy books, dvd and youtube downloads from your favourite.topic|speakers. Learn from the failures – what not to do and learn from the success stories – what to do.

ii. Deal with Fear, Self-Doubt and Unbelief

Fear believes something dreadful (bad) will happen; it does not mean it will happen but you are afraid it might and you become anxious and despondent.

fear_face the things you fear [what won't kill you, will make you strong]

un-belief_is believing you don't believe, it is deadly to your dream. If anyone can, YOU can.

iii. Deal with Mediocrity and Procrastination

Procrastination (and mediocre life style) is a result of deep-rooted fear that what you have to do either will not change much or will not matter at all in the bottom line. If a knife is thrown your direction, will you procrastinate moving out of the way? Of course not.

We deal with procrastination by writing a list of what we want to do daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annually and 5yrs, 10yrs, 20yrs and lifetime. Then write the impact of both doing and not doing. What happens if your income will remain the same a year from now?

Seekers and Knockers

2015-08-31T12:28:00.000+01:00

Who is to be Blamed?

If you look at your bank balance and you are not happy, if you live in a house you hate, work where and in what you are not happy with, dress and eat what you have to not what you would like to . . . if you would like to have more time with family, travel abroad for holiday and give more to the less fortunate, then I am talking to you today!

The person to blame for your dislike and misery is not to be found at state-house or public office. The person to be blamed or praised for who and what you have become can be found when you stare in the mirror – that's right, YOU!

Today is your yesterday's future, it is not an accident – it is a result of what you planned (or neglected to plan) and implemented yesterday. Likewise, tomorrow will not be an accident, good or bad lack . . . it will be a product of your doing today.

"Failure to Plan is Planning to Fail", there is no two ways about it, if you don't plan your income, health, education, career, relationship etc you are planning to fail it. Those who plan, prepare and brace for the future will employ, manage and rule over those who don't – this is the hard truth of life.

If you don't like what you do [have become], where you live, what you wear, school that your children go to, your business, employment etc the answer is simple, CHANGE IT. You have the power to change your tomorrow by changing your today – your NOW.

3-STEPS to CHANGE OVERNIGHT

answer to ''How Do I Change?''

1] List what you don't like in your – Relationships, Personal Achievement, Finances etc

2] List down the reason you don't like what you have written as response to No.1 above,

3] List what you would like 1 above to be one year from now, 5yrs, 10yrs and LifeTime

4] List what you can do right now aiming to realize the one-year list {seed, cause, sow}

5] List your personal statement commitment to follow through –see and read it daily

If you can do 1 to 5 as shown above CONGRATUTATIONS!!!

You have already created your LIFE-PLAN and you are on your way to success!!!

Remember

1. Most people will find it easy to list what they don't like in their life but struggle to write what they would like the same to be in a year, 5, 10 and life time but keep at it (get pen and paper and it will come to you, trust me)

2. When listing what you would like to be in a year, 5,10 and lifetime – don't think on the HOW, the how has nothing to do with you at this stage…shoot for the moon and if you miss, you will still be among the stars – [Les Brown]. BUT you must write what you believe is "possible" for you, especially for the one–year part.

If your one-year list is too small it will not motivate you, if too big will paralyze you in fear and despair. It must be big enough to stretch and grow you but not too big that you choke on it…how do you eat an elephant? one bite at a time!

3. Personal statement must be true about who you are, what you feel and believe about yourself – this is your life philosophy it is the driver that moves you from within. SEE it and READ it DAILY until it becomes your personal anthem.

4. Those who won't DO the list on No.1, will not do No.2, 3, 4 and 5 and their life will be exactly the same year after year but with increased frustration and dispear because now they KNOW BETTER but lack personal resolve to DO BETTER.

5. How do you change your resolve (will power)? Seek until you find what you desire and Knock until the doors are opened for you. HOW: 1. Become a Lifelong Student of self and what you pursue, buy a notebook and pen, text books – read, study, workout. 2. Join a Study Group of likeminded individuals – don't be a lone traveler…in college we had study groups for coursework and preparations for exams – do you think life exams and coursework are simpler?

Peace be Unto you,

Got Pass-Port of Entry?

2015-08-15T11:56:00.003+01:00

Every time we want to cross a ‘border’, one country to another [one kingdom to another, one authority to another], we will be asked to produce a valid ‘Passport’ with visa.

The passport essentially answers three questions,

ONE: Identity – who is this person trying to cross from one authority to another?

TWO: Passage – where has he|she been before turning up here? Travel History!

THREE: Permit – is the bearer permitted to walk into the new place of authority?

As I meditate on the passport requirement to cross a Physical Boarder, I began to see the similarity with passport requirement to cross the Income Boarders.

Crossing from Low Income to Middle Income and consequently into High Income authority will require you to produce your Passport.

You will have to report to immigration officers [the universal system – the law of success] with your passport and demonstrate your identity, declare where you have been and show if you have permit to enter the middle income land (or high income land as your case may be).

Those crossing from low to middle or middle to high income, they quickly realize they have to answer these questions, otherwise, they can sneak into the country but they will not stay long:

1. Who Are You:

– Identity is more than a name, it is the whole package, what you represent and present as a person, your gift and assignment to the world beginning with your local immediate community. It is not possible to cross the income border if you don’t know who you are and whose you are. If you are discovered to be a cheap copy of great original, you will be deported.

2. Where have you Come From:

– Where we come from leaves a scent in us knowingly and unknowingly, this scent may help or hinder our crossing depending on how we handle the past. We need to realize this if we are to overcome the power that our history holds in our today and future. What have you done in the past, will it hold here and if now, will you let it go but learn the valuable lesson from it?

3. Do you have Permit:

_There is only ONE requirement if you are to get permit to stay ‘legally’ in the new area of authority. As you cross from low to middle or middle to high; you will be asked one question – what service do you bring? – what problem will you solve for us? Your visa to cross the financial boarder is in quality and quantity of the problems you are willing and able to solve for others.

So, if you tell me you want to cross the Financial Boarder, I will ask you ONE question – do you have a PASSPORT? If you don’t have your passport yet – I can help you, I am called to assist people get their passport and move up-country economically and consequently in their purpose for being here.

Peace be Unto you,

The Money Game!

2015-06-23T15:40:00.002+01:00

There are TWO Money Games in town, only two, We all play ONE or The OTHER, be it Consciously or Sub-consciously, Willingly or by Default.

Winning or Loosing depends on the game you choose and, your skills at the game...my question today to you is:

Which Money Game do you Play?

#Game ONE: Retainer

The First Game is called, "See How Much I Retain". We Cheat, Conduct Deals, Legal or Illegal trades by any means necessary to Retain as much as possible. To this end, we live poor in order to die rich.

In this Game, Greed motivated by Fear is the King. I have no record of anyone winning in this game, Everyone around a person playing this game suffers and Unfortunately, in this game, even when you win – you loose.

#Game TWO: Investor

The Second Game is called, "See How Much I Invest". In this Game, Reward for Service is the "Master". Participants in this game think of How many they can Serve and Save instead of how much is retained by them.

The winner in this game is one who finds place that will yield Financial and Social returns then proceed by finding:

_when to invest,

_how much to invest,

_when to cash out and re-Invest.

Winner Takes All in Game #2…which game do you play?
Listen to me, you want to win? Play Game No.#2

Two_MasterKeys for Self-Promotion

2015-05-29T09:11:00.001+01:00

Many of us when we reach a point where we would ideally want or desire promotion in life or at our work place we either march in the boss office and demand it or we prayerfully and eagerly await fate (the universe or God depending on your belief inclination) to grant it on our lap.

I would like to suggest another way, which has not failed me so far; this route when applied, it creates a win-win situation, which is a sustainable and most desirable for everyone involved in the scene.

The Two steps|keys that I would like to present to you works whether you want to be promoted at work, school, life, relationship, move your business and leadership to a higher plane or simply become a better person inward and outward _ IT WORKS!

Here is what you do when you reach a point in life where you desire promotion:

#Key_No.1: Become 'Larger than the Current Space' you Occupy

Nobody elevates to a higher state unless they have mastered the lower one. We do not, generally speaking, pursue Mastery unless we have mastered the basics. No sane person will offer more to a person who has failed to work with less.

My point is, before you begin to think of a higher plane, more influence and better benefits _ have you mastered the current space you occupy? Will those who work with and for you attest to that? Have you become "larger" than the current space you occupy or is it simply your 'ego' that has inflated whilst the rest of you is in shambles?

By 'Larger than Current Space' I mean _ is it evident that you can handle more based on how you have handled your current hand? Is your performance that of a master or "average Joe" in the current space? Would you have promoted yourself if you were your boss and are honest with yourself?

#Key_No.2: Occupy the 'Promoted Space' in your Mind and Action

The more elevated|promoted we become, the more responsibility and accountability is expected of us. The higher the office we occupy, the more people 'expect' us to solve their problems or cause|create means for their problems to be solved.

Thus, if you want certain 'elevated space?' then, find out what 'Problems' the person occupying that space solves and 'offer' to solve them at NO extra pay with excellent attitude and without compromising the performance of the office|space you currently hold.

Do not seek to take the promoted ROLE and benefits yet but rather the LOAD that the promoted mind carries and you do this with a clear conscious that you have reached a place in life where you can give out more and the current space you occupy does not give you the 'opportunity' to give and be more.

Do this NOT to be seen by the 'boss' but to honour the natural Law of Attraction, which states, paraphrased, "we must 'become' that which we desire before we can attract and have it". Thus, do not fake it or parade it _ if you are a faker and parader, YOU are NOT ready for that promotion.

Be clear in your mind that there is nothing wrong in giving more and wanting and desiring more from life as it is written, "to him that much is given, much will be required" [Ref Luke 12:48] but I tell you this, "to him that desires much, much will be desired of him".

How Do I Know I am Ready for Promotion?

Here is the 'Litmus Paper' Test for a Person who is ready for promotion:

_They demonstrate they can handle more by their performance and attitude in the current space,

_They desire to get more so that you can give more not primarily for power, fame and money,

_They proactively solve higher space problems whilst in the lower space with no strings attached.

When we read the story of Joseph the convict, we clearly see how he used the two keys above to Self-Promote from Prisoner to Prime Minister through solving problems [Ref Genesis Chapter 39 - 41].

His performance as Head_Prisoner who managed excellently his office AND interpreted dreams became evident smaller than what he could handle when he single-handedly solved the country's problem while occupying a lower office. The King had no option but to promote him to his rightful space based on his performance and understanding.

DO NOT WAIT for GOD or YOUR BOSS to PROMOTE you while the promotion is right in your hand and mind to take.

Cast a SPELL on Yourself!

2015-04-15T13:50:00.001+01:00

We understand that PLANTs respond and need the sun_LIGHT to grow and will naturally grow in the direction of the light. Similarly, a human being as a living SOUL[mind – will, intellect, emotions], we respond appropriately and proportionate to the Light which is 'the WORDs' we hear [i.e. spell cast on us].

When we HEAR WORDS that RESONATES with what we BELIEVE to be true about us [Belief], immediately those words become a beam of light and naturally, like a living plant|soul, we will grow towards those words.

When a spell is cast on us, in other words, when we hear something said TO us, as long as the said words don't have a ring of acceptance in our hearts i.e. there is no doubt or fear in our mind that what is said could come true...then the speaker is powerless over us.

If a word said meets with an ounce of fear or faith that the said word could have some truth in them, we immediately empower the said word to become light and we have no choice but to grow towards those words.

Faith comes by hearing, unfortunately so does Fear. Where do you get your light? WHAT|WHAT do you listen to? Do you monitor what is said TO you?

I have developed a habit of talking to myself, that's right, If faith comes by hearing, then I have to hear even myself talking…

S I can do all things through God who gives me strength,

S If I can believe, all things are possible for me,

S God gives me power to get wealth and abundantly,

S God's blessing makes me rich without sorrow,

S My dreams are meant to be achieved in my time,

S I shall live to see the goodness of God in this Land,

S I am a blessing to many, beginning with my family

S I'm destined to leave inheritance to my grandchildren

What would you like to be, that which you would like to be and achieve, make it your priority to hear it everyday.

Since there are not many people who will tell you what you really like to hear, Tell it to yourself. Successful people talk themselves into success and prosperity, will you?…Become Expert in SELF-TALK!

Here comes the Dreamer

2015-01-16T06:49:00.001+00:00

We Think in Pictures|Images, when I say "Black Cat" you don't see the letters #B-L-A-C-K #C-A-T in your mind but you see the IMAGE of a black cat. It is from these images in our ''thought world" that instructions are sent in real world for us to act – and work on routinely daily.

Human mind process three kinds of images, Past (memory), Future (dreams) and Present (what we see right now). Very often our mind mixes up images of the past, present and future as it sends instruction for action. Why is it that when you have been bitten by snake before, you ran scared at a leaf touch? The reason is, your mind plays past image in the present and you see a snake where there is a leaf hence the instruction to run.

Successful people have learnt to fill their mind with images of what they DESIRE to see instead of what they DREAD. The reason is very simple, as builders use drawings to construct a building, we use mental images in our minds to build our life – one instruction at a time. A great teacher once said, it is not possible to think and visualize failure and produce success.

Getrude Ederle, the first woman to swim across the English Channel in 1926 (21miles – France to England) said when she got tired, she began to visualize herself driving the brand new car (the prize) until she arrived across the other side. Any good athlete coach will tell you that no amount of training is able to overcome a defeated image in the mind of the athlete.

Most of us don't like to hear this, but the life we have today is created by the image we had in the past about our self and our interaction with the world. We are creating right now our future based on the image we currently hold.

We turn down (and in many cases we don't see) – opportunities that are not in line with the image we hold. If you are not looking for a 'car dealership' you will not see (pay attention to) a huge sign before you directing people to the dealership yard.

The moment you plant an idea, an image, a dream in your mind (heart) – step out into the world and you will begin to see opportunities that will lead your way to creating exactly that which YOU SEE.

This is why King David once said two of the most quoted and noble statement in the world:

[1] "As man think in his heart, so is he" i.e. you become the image you have about you
{||Prov 23:7}

[2] "Guard your heart with all diligence for it is the source life" i.e. your projects, books etc
{||Prov 4:23}

If I were you, I will control what I allow to build mental images about me and my world. Who do you listen and believe? Remove yourself from the environment and presence of people who discourage or create bad images about you and your world. Retrieve images you have about you and your world and whatever is not what you desire, delete and upload new ones right now!

So, what does this mean to all of us?

1. Scrutinize the IMAGE you have about YOUSELF,

and YOUR FUTURE, do you like what you see?

2. Create, build, cut from magazine, download from

Internet IMAGES of the LIFE you want to have

3. Put these images before your eyes DAILY and every

moment possible – seeing yourself in them "as if"

4. If you can master eMotions as you imagine yourself

in line with these images, the faster the creation

5. Pay attention to instruction you get daily – especially

those which draws you away from your comfort zone

Decision Point - Place of Power

2014-12-11T08:31:00.001+00:00

From the second we wake up to the time we hit the pillow again at night, we constantly make decisions. Some decisions we makeconsciously and some sub-consciously (automated – pre-programmed) but we are constantly making decisions eg what to wear, what we eat, who we call, route to work, what to buy, who to help, where to invest, who to associate with etc

Sub-conscious Decisions

Sub-conscious decision are those decisions that we don’t think or process the choices presented, we simply and automatically allow our automated motion (pre-programmed choices) to select what we have always selected before and move on.

For instance, if you always drive on the same route to work every morning, eventually it becomes automated – you simply get in your car and your sub-conscious mind takes over. Some people (me included) have reported driving halfway (some all the way) to work only to “awake” at some point realizing that they are not working that day.

We learn to drive conscious, shifting gear, balancing clutch and accelerator; but after a while (repeated actions) we become “learned” and the sub-conscious mind takes over and our conscious mind is free to do other things while our sub-conscious mind is directing our actions to achieve a pre-programmed goal.

The problem with allowing sub-conscious decision to take over all the time is, we will always make the same decisions, driving towards the same destination – good or bad. “if you always do what you have always done, you will always get what you have always got” Henry Ford. Remember, insanity is defined as “doing the same things over and over whilst expecting different results” Albert Eistein.

Think of it this way, sub-conscious (automated|pre-programmed) decisions are like automated car production assembly line…always produce the same product, time after time, until something along the assembly line is changed to interrupt the production. If you don’t like the product, stop automation and do a manual production – take time to consciously think over what you have taken for granted to be true. Take time to THINK over your values, belief and hence paradigm – these are the tools that your automated (sub-conscious) mind uses to make decisions FOR you.

Conscious Decisions

Conscious decisions usually comes to play when we are faced with situations where either it is a whole new scenarios with new alternatives (choices) or some new information is available which brings new choices to a familiar situation. Either way, conscious decisions are made from a mind awake to consider the outcomes – possibilities – having weighed different options presented.

Conscious Decision is made from the Four Platforms:

|Emotions – there are Five Basic Emotions from whence we often make decisions namely anger, fear, envy, grief, love. Of these five, the best platform to make decision from is love. Decision made from a place of anger, fear, envy or grief is often made from a distorted perception of reality and sense of balance.

||Intuition – this is coming from inner knower, you can’t quite put a finger on it but something inside gives you a clear distinct instruction. There is no emotion, no logic and no precedent but deep down inside you know what to do. Caution: your intuition could (and is) often wrong, take time to measure it with your inner man – the spirit, the you.

|||Logic – I am told gamblers lose because they don’t have the mindset of bankers and bankers fair average whilst has potential to be great because they don’t have the mindset of gamblers – and I am confused!!! I guess the point is there are time and place where not using logic is the best logic…disengage autopilot and fly manual THINKING throughout the flight. But indeed there are times you will need to use logic – good old common sense.

||||Spirit – man[kind] is a spirit, have a soul and live in the body. Soul has three components (emotions, intelligence, will). Thus making decisions from emotion, intuition (guts) and logic is coming from the soul. Within the soul lies you, the spirit, the you you.

The highest and best place to consult before making decision is drawing from within i.e. from you (the spirit you) emanating deep from unselfish you yet with a good sense balance of what is good for you and another. It is rightly said, “those who cannot go within, will go without”, a decision made from the inner true you can never be wrong, it can never result in loss or destruction because the true inner self you is – love.

Fear Factors Exposed

2014-11-19T07:27:00.004+00:00

Psychologists tell us we are born with only two fears – fear of Falling and fear of Loud Noises. These two fears are inherent in the human DNA and have become a mechanism for survival, which is passed on to new generations. The single aim of these inborn fears is to keep humans alive and motivated in order to avoid potential dangers.

Every other fear is 'learned response' from our environment, knowledge and experience. Therefore, if it can be learned, it can be unlearned too. For this reason, I would like to share FOUR common fears that have rendered many powerless and impact-less whilst full of potential inside:

1:: Fear of Rejection

We all like to be liked and loved by everybody and to this end we manipulate (use: deception, power, money and influence) situations and people to be liked – even when we know the liking is not genuine. We work so hard to get people's approval and once we get their approval we live in constant fear of losing it…it is a bondage and a lonely place to be – we dare not be ourselves, lest we are rejected. Thus, we project what we be believe people want to hear and see from us.

THE ROOT of fear of rejection is lack of (or low) self-esteem|self-love often arising from self-identity issues (usually from childhood negative experiences). A person who has NOT identified (or reject) WHO they are will often seek identity through others for without them he|she is nothing|nobody.

2:: Fear of Failure

We often attach our self-worth to our performance and worse still link self-worth to love and acceptance. We shudder to the thought of attempting anything we believe may not succeed for if we fail to perform, our self-worth, value, will diminish and there goes the love and acceptance we yearn for. We will never dare to think, let alone act, outside the box (comfort zone). We will go to any length to hide our failures and parade our success even embellish them.

THE ROOT cause of fear of failure is, in many instances, lack (or ignorance) of self-worth|self-value arising from not knowing our value is intrinsic to WHO we are and not WHAT we do.

3:: Fear of Criticism

Fear of criticism stems from fear of failure; we know that criticism comes from failure to perform to the standard of people whose approval we yearn. We fear criticism because most of the time what we do is a performance to get people to like us. We become enslaved to pleasing people for we fear their rejection. But Sooner or later we realize people are un-predictable, what they loved you for today is not necessarily what will draw them to you tomorrow.

THE ROOT cause of fear of criticism stems from inferiority complex, believing we are inferior to those whose criticism matters to us. Think about this, i] anyone can be a critic – it is easy, ii] critics are after performers – people whose work is significant.

4:: Fear of Unknown

Fear of unknown is another learned response [mental obstacle] aimed to keeping us safe from the dangers looming in the areas we have not treaded before. Unfortunately, if you are to get what you have never had, you have to do what you have never done. Just because it has not been done, it does not mean it cannot be done – can you dare to be the first, do you have the guts to be the pioneer, inventor, and forerunner?

THE ROOT of fear of unknown is fear of what we do not know and consequently cannot control. I believe the best way to term this fear is to become conversant and confident on our purpose [vision|purpose|mission] you are in control of YOUR DESTINY.

The Universe – Genie in the Bottle

2014-10-13T12:44:00.000+01:00

It used to bother me so much when people said, "the universe did this or that", say like karma i.e. what you do unto others, the universe will conspire to do it unto you but more bountifully. For me it sounded as if we are taking God out of the picture if the universe is in the picture doing 'stuff'.

As I began to be more open to possibilities of genuine knowledge outside my 'comfort zone', I began to realize what people usually mean when they say the universe is ''natural order of things'' or ''principles outlaid by nature''.

The Natural World – the World we see with physical eyes:

I began to understand that just like a farmer in the 'natural world' who plant, tend, water and then harvest from the soil (not from God) so it is similarly in the psyche world. The psyche realm is aligned with similar ''mechanism'' which given certain seed, tending and watering the harvest is inevitable – both good and bad.

You do not plant maize and then 'fast and pray' hoping to harvest beans; similarly, God created a psyche world where there is order and mechanism to adhere to get certain results. We need to know the system and principles placed to work in our favour or disregard them and they still work but in our disfavor.

It does not matter whether you believe in gravity or not, jump from a building and you will fall down…the gravitational force will not ignore you because you do not believe in it. If you plant seeds at wrong time of the season or wrong place, you will have poor or no harvest regardless of who you are…thus it works in your favour to understand agriculture if you are to be a productive farmer.

The Psyche World – world we see with our minds:

The way you get the result you want in the 'psyche' world is simple; you ALIGN what you THINK, SAY and DO irrigating your seed (thoughts) with PASSION and you will materialize in season what we sow in this realm into the physical realm.

Say I am THINKing of having a baby: then what I SAY and DO must align with these thoughts. I begin to talk of me having the baby, I begin to do what a person expecting a baby would do regardless of what I feel and see in the natural world. Buy diapers, attend seminars and teachings on pregnancy and raising children…prepare the crib (childproof the house).

Say I am THINKing of accumulating wealth: then what I SAY and DO should reflect a person who IS (not who is going to) accumulating wealth right now. I must stop thinking, saying and doing anything that is contrary to the THOUGHT of accumulating wealth…sooner or later, the soil where I have planted my seed (thought) MUST deliver. But I must align and emotionalize my thoughts, say and deed else it is a waste of time.

Now how does this work?

Every time you DECIDE to pursue a certain GOAL and you begin to THINK(seed = 1st order creation), SAY(2nd order action) and DO(3rd order action) in the direction of the goal, the universe conspires to bring in your favour and direction knowledge, people, things and environment CONDUCIVE for you to ACHIEVE that very specific GOAL.

Thus as soon as you begin to think, say and do with respect to certain goal; the universe begins to work in your favour to bring to you knowledge, people and things necessary to produce the desired goal. But when you begin to change your thought or start speaking contrary to your thought or do things that do not reflect the thoughts and saying towards that goal . . . then you put the knowledge, people and things in confusion…simply put, you begin to CANCEL the process of materialization.

This is why you must be careful on changing your dream (thoughts, goals) very often. Spend time to carefully pick what you desire to achieve in life. Pick something that you are PASSIONATE about, something that SERVE humanity irrespective of you getting fame, power or wealth. When your Goal does not come from a self-benefit place, it is bound to be a genuine.

Stick to this goal (dream, desires) and let us hear you SPEAK of your THOUGHTS (else do not speak at all) and when you begin to DO anything, it must be in alignment with what you THINK and SAY and nothing else.

This is how you get the universe to conspire with you to manifest what you desire!

Psyche Law

1. If you SOW a negative THOUGHT you REAP negative RESULTS

2. We ATTRACT and BECOME what we constantly and consistently THINK about

3. DESTINY is CHOICE not chance, it is to be PURSUED not to be WAITED for

4. PHYSICAL manifestation is birthed from MIND-SET (Thought, emotionalized Word, Deed)

5. We become AWARE of opportunities when destination is DEFINED in Thoughts & Words

6. What we do to others [good|bad], the Universe returns the same to us but in ABUNDANCE

HOW TO BUILD DREAMLIFE – 21 Days Challenge

2014-05-05T08:57:00.002+01:00

"If you are to get what others don't have, be prepared to do what others don't do'' P. T. Barnum.

Your spirit knows what your mind does not; the challenge is, for you to act on something, your mind MUST be involved. Below is the process that helps you to transfer from your spirit into mind and eventually into a workable plan of action one block at a time.

ALPHA: For the next 21 Days, wake up 1 HOUR earlier than you would, find a quiet place where you won't be disturbed for the whole hour…take notebook and pen…

DAY 1: WRITE your ONE DREAM and its PURPOSE as you know right now, don't worry about being wrong or right…simply WRITE! (if you have many dreams, write the one that excite you most)

DAY 2: on a fresh page of your notebook, WRITE what you believe it will take to achieve that dream. Don't worry about HOW you will achieve this dream; simply write what it will take.

DAY 3: on another fresh page of your notebook WRITE on top: ''what I can do about my dream'' and immediately begin to write down ideas that flows into your mind.

DAY 4: this is IMPORTANT DAY, go back to page 3 where you wrote what you can do about your dream…for every idea you have written, decide which one is for immediate action, which one you need time to think some more. Keep adding ideas on page 3 but take to page 4 the ideas that you can ACT on the right now, today and write them there then immediately everyday begin to do them.

DAY 5-20: every morning read your dream, purpose and what it takes to achieve then go to page 3 where you wrote what you can do and keep adding new ideas and transferring the ones you can do right now to page 4...CONTINUE to DO DAILY what you have written as doable now whether you see results or not.

DAY 21: Repeat the above but this time add page 5 on top write TESTIMONY i.e. what you have achieved in the last 30 days…

CAUTION:

1. You must stick to it for 21 days for it to work, don't stop or hesitate…keep going regardless of whether you see visible outcome or not…then you will see in 21 days the miracles that will flow from within, even people around you will notice the change in and around you...it will be a down of new era for you and everyone you love!

2. When you are writing your dream, FORGET about HOW you will accomplish it…all you need to do is listen from within, your inspiration and aspiration and write with a passion what you would really love to achieve if money, fame or power was not an issue.

3. When writing 'what you can do about your dream', this is it, this is where the divine meets flesh. Listen inward and write down whatever comes into mind, don't think or over process it…write!!!

4. Last but not least, when you have stuck to it for 21 days CONTACT ME (fcbk: Timothy Kyara) and I will be more than happy to give you further guidance and assistance as you proceed with your journey into DreamLife...OMEGA!

7 Foundational Keys to Building DreamLife

2014-05-05T08:26:00.002+01:00

Last week we had debut dream summit where we explored the teaching on what it takes to build uncommon dream. Foundations are sub-structures which we don't see but they play a crucial role to what we do see. Without the foundations, the structure we do see would not be there.

Here is a snapshot of the keys:

1. Identity:

Unless you know and are confident on who and whose you are, it is virtually impossible to build a DreamLife; all you will do is become cheap copy of great originals…who are you? Can google help to answer this question for you?

2. Life Philosophy:

Our subconscious mind and conscience make more decision for us than we realize. The subconscious and conscience are programmed by our environment, knowledge and experience. Your internal programming controls your external performance and outcome…learn to program yourself for the results you seek.

3. The Rod:

Where you are today is a product of what you exchange for in the past, consequently, your future will be governed by what you have today to exchange – trade for what you need in the present and future…learn to take stock of your assets and liabilities.

4. The Dream:

Dream is a snapshot of the future, your aspirations and inspiration who you would like to be and what you would like to achieve before you pass on to the other side. Do you know your dream? Have you written it down to as specific as you can see today?

5. Purpose:

Uncommon and great dreams should not be about you, it is about those you can save and serve . . . identify right now what purpose does your dream serve? What will it achieve (objectives) when it is realized? Making money is not a purpose because money is simply a tool you need to build your dream!

6. Authority:

By authority here I mean area of influence; if you are confident with your identity, your rod (passion, talent, skills) then your dream will be unique and no one will be able to compete with you in your tuff…you will be the authority in your area!

7. Focus:

Lack of focus in one area of expertise, competence and purpose driven causes many to loose clarity and authority in building their dreamlife. Focus brings clarity, details and removes clatter and unwanted (liabilities) entities…without focus, building dreamlife becomes hard, complex and takes longer!

Life Philosophy

2014-04-03T11:47:00.001+01:00

"We have to dare to be ourselves, however frightening or strange that self may prove to be." — May Sarton

Introduction

We have all adopted some kind of ''life philosophy'' through which we consciously or sub-consciously build our life, one decision at a time. What we become, achieve and have is DIRECTLY related to the philosophy that we have chosen. Consequently, if you don't see the results you would like to see in your life…it is time to pump the bonnet open and scrutinize the philosophy that you have chosen to live by.

When I say 'philosophy' I mean belief, view point, understanding, pre-decided re-action, notion and conviction on an area of life eg religion, relationship, money, God, business, work, politics, leadership, health, wealth, education etc

How life philosophy is built

We are born with blank mind – no preconceived ideas or notion about anything; but as we grow up – our environment (which controls what we experience and knowledge we acquire) – begins to shape what we "believe" to be a 'safe' and 'best' way to navigate our life. We begin to write "internal programme" that will safeguard our future do's and don'ts.

This 'internal programme' is based solely on what we acquire from environment we live in, experience we go through and knowledge imposed on us. Slowly but certainly we begin to define who we are – our limits and boundaries – be they real or imagined it does not matter…we accept them and refer to them every time we have to make a choice or decision.

For example: a baby does not have understanding (knowledge) to associate (or disassociate) light and heat, so when it sees light, it crawls right to it seeking to 'touch' out of curiosity. When it touches open flame, there and then a clear message is 'burnt' in that child's mind, "stay clear of flames"…and immediately associate open flames with pain. God has designed all living things to walk away from anyone or anything that causes pain and pursue anyone or anything that has promise to pleasure and comfort.

As this (touching flame) child grows, it will continue to stay clear of anything that has to do with 'flames' UNTIL someone comes along with a new knowledge, teach him/her how to ''handle'' flame safely and use flame to his/her advantage.

Now, if you are honest, many of our life philosophies are based on our past ''burnt experiences", pain. The philosophy is then an inbuilt servo mechanism to avoid all chances of coming into contact with pain – never again. Think about it, what is your philosophy on money, wealth, opposite sex relationship, God, religion, work, business etc what is it based on? Is it not based on pain, loss, discomfort experienced in the past – yours or of your loved one?

How do you discover your philosophy?

Ask yourself critical questions and WRITE down answers…eg...what is your philosophy on Money?

1. What is the first experience you recall about money? (could be a talk, conversation, earnings)

2. What is the link between you and money? (this is a relationship, connection)

3. Who controls how much money you get? (could there be a person who has monopoly?)

4. Who controls when you are to get a lot of money? (monopoly over money?)

5. What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of 'lots of money'

How do you know if your philosophy is sound?

For every Genuine, there is a Fake (forgery, bogus); for every Authentic, there is Counterfeit (imitation) and for every Original there is a Copy. Authentic manufacturers worldwide spend

millions of dollars authenticating their products –inserting insignia, logos, publicity so that end users can tell the difference between genuine and fake, authentic from imitation.

Here is a non-exhaustive list to tell if you have sound life philosophy:

1. Materials – fake and forgeries are usually made from inferior goods and services. When a philosophy is made from an inferior place just to avoid ''pain, suffering and loss'' more often than not it will not be sound and empowering. Yes we learn from our pain, mistakes and loss but we choose to make our life philosophy exuding from faith, love and hope not from fear, hate and despair.

Examine your life philosophy (persuasion, conviction, belief) on any subject of choice, be it God, religion, relationships, money, wealth, leadership, government, politics . . . is your philosophy made out of faith, love and hope or fear hate and despair? If it is the latter, it is bound to be unsound and will not produce your life full potential.

2. Function – every forgery, fake, counterfeit will not have the same level of function as the original, authentic, genuine. Any philosophy that belittle, despise and play down your worth, value, ability and destiny is not sound. Any philosophy that puts others on the pedestal will discriminate the rest and it is based on false unsound premises.

Whatever you see others do, you can do and chances are you can do faster and better. . . "the only thing that stands between you and your great future is you and your doubts"– Robert Kiyosaki. If you don't see all the function you expected in your life, chances are you don't have a sound philosophy, examine the basis of your philosophy in the area in question.

3. Test of Time – all fake, counterfeit, imitations and copies do not stand the test of time…sooner or later they will breakdown and crumble. Your philosophy will be tested against time – endurance – if it is on solid foundation (basis) it will stand otherwise it will collapse on weight and you will fall with it.

Examine your philosophy (persuasion, conviction, belief) on any area that you have trouble; if you always change your philosophy based on what you experience, chances are you are on flimsy ground and your basis for that philosophy are not sound. People who change their philosophies frequently are usually flimsy, unstable and dangerous to deal with.

Here are some of my life-philosophies, feel free to adopt if you like them:

Area	Philosophy
God	God created everything and one day we shall answer for what we did with 'time' granted on earth
Money	Money is not a miracle, it is a reward for solving problems; the more problems solved more money
Relationship	Relationship should be based on mutual respect, adding value to each other else reconsider
Religion	Your religion is not good to me if it does not help me, show me answers to my everyday issues

These are but my philosophy, persuasions, conviction…they may be right, they may be wrong but this is where I am today 03rd April 2014…I am a working progress.
