Elevator - The Journey to Possibilities

2010-11-25T00:00:00.000-08:00

Life is a journey. We embark on different journey in life; in some we arrive safely, while in others we crash on the way. When we arrive safely that means we have succeeded, if we crash on the way, that means we have died and left nothing that people may refer to as our accomplishment. In the journey of life you either succeed or you end up in the grave-yard of dead dreams.

Overcoming the impossible, that’s quite easy if I may say, but before embarking on the journey there are some principles, disciplines, you have to take along with you in embarking on the journey to success.

In life there are two things involved: you either pursue a goal or you remain constant; and if you pursue a goal there are also two things involved: you either you succeed or fail. Both are optional. You choose within yourself in either option. To reach your desired goal, you have to overcome failure or rather I say you have to move through the road of failure, and to get across the road of failure you have to remove a very important obstacle out of your way which is the obstacle of “FEAR”. Fear of what awaits you on your journey; fear of failure is what makes most people never try to pursue the goal they want to achieve.

Most successful people in the world overcome fear before getting to the destination of success. Keep within you when embarking on the journey of success the sufficient power that which will stabilize your fear. Fear is a hindrance to success what you have to do to overcome failure is to overcome fear in within you. You have the power within to overcome it just search it now and you will find it.

Embarking on the journey of success what should always be in your mind is everything is going to be alright -- I am going to get to my destination at all cost. Forget every failure you must have encountered -- think as if you’ve never failed -- don’t say I have tried everything nothing worked -- that shouldn’t be your MOTTO -- your motto should be – I shall be successful.

Have you asked yourself this question -- why do most people fail? Why do I fail? Life is all about decision making; choice to succeed or fail. One obstacle that kills most dreams very gently is procrastination. I call procrastination the killer of dreamers, each time you procrastinate you are killing that dream of yours gently and before you know what’s going on, that dream is out of your mind; what you now call it at that particular time is failure.

Has the dream come to its destination? NO! That dream didn’t arrive at its destination, but you ended the journey on the way yourself, so you are the failure of that dream, when such a dream becomes failure, don’t run from it embrace it, when you embrace such kind of dream you start working a new; this time put in more determination. Impossible is nothing, and when there is life there is hope.

When you embark on the journey of success again never look a hitch back, move ahead with great enthusiasm, you will get to the destination safely, getting to the destination of success you have made that impossible possible at such time you can say you are living in a world of “H-endless Possibilities”.

Life Challenges - How to Overcome the Impossible

2010-11-02T12:00:00.000-07:00

Many successful people overcome the impossible before allowing that particular dream possible. In our current world many thinks and looks at a dream and immediately come to a conclusion, saying that dream is impossible; while others take a look at that same dream, and immediately sight success ahead, without even getting started to achieving that particular dream.

Everyone is the architect of their future. What you do now determines your future; doing everything in life, but if you haven’t achieved anything then you have automatically done nothing; you may try everything in life, but if you are not proud of one, then you have automatically achieved nothing.

Never take a negative sight at any goal you want to achieve because that determines the result. Any goal you want to achieve just think positive. If you think positive you achieve positive; if you think success you achieve success. Anything you think determines the outcome. To overcome the impossible, you have to live in a world of “HENDLESS POSSIBILITIES”. And living in a world of endless possibilities, you think positive and do positive; that positivity will attract more success, and automatically everything around you would be in a world of H-ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES. And you would be of great benefit to yourself and to humanity

To overcome the impossible, you have to look at the impossibilities as possible because other people have done it and failed does not automatically make that course impossible.

Everything you look in a positive way will also come out to yield a positive result. Anything you possess in a positive way will also make you a positive man. Overcoming the impossible doesn’t just happen like that; even if you sighted success ahead, you have to put in determination, concentration, and consistency. Working your dreams out may seem like chasing after a ghost and makes you feel like giving up. Some dream might look like an unending world, they may look unachievable, but continuity and persistence is the key to such kind of dream. Nobody said it's going to be as simple as anything.

Though, some dreams might come very much easy but that doesn’t mean all dreams must come really easy. When a dream looks impossible, one thing you should never ever forget, and that which will always keep your dream alive, is the reason why you your should put in mind, to never relent because that dream may be the most valued of your life, and never ever forget nothing good comes easy, that why most successfully men who struggle tremendously before achieving their goal reap tremendously.

The Magical Magnitude of Attitude

“Too often we underestimate the power of a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn life around”
-Leo Buscaglia.

If you have a poor attitude, and think you don’t have the potential to achieve your desire goal or don’t deserve to live your ideal lifestyle, you are already whipped even before you start, you must have read about someone who has far less potential than you and attain massive success, what is the difference; between you and this person “Attitude”

No one can prevent you from reaching your destination except you, so don’t be your own obstacle.
Attitude determines all the outcome of your life, whether you believe it or not.

This means if you want a better result than you have been getting then start developing a better attitude towards other people, towards the things you do, and towards life in general.

Most times, I realize having a positive attitude alone won’t get you everything you want in life, but if you have a great attitude your chances of achieving your desire goal will be higher.
You can begin developing an unstoppable mind-set by trying something new, at least for this week; treat everyone you meet, including your demanding boss, friends and co-worker with a smile and an enthusiastic greeting.

You may be saying how can I be nice to such person when he/she treats me so poorly?

“No kind action ever stops with itself. One kind action leads to another. Good example is followed. A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees. The greatest work that kindness does to others is that it makes them kind themselves” -Amelia Earhart.

The reason others behave towards us in a way we don’t like is because we haven’t been treating them the way we would want to be treated. So we often end up saying something like “If only other people would treat me better first, then I would take better care of them as well”.

This is like getting into your own car and saying “car take me to my house and I will put some fuel in you”.
Unfortunately this isn’t the way life works!
In life you must put the fuel in the car and kick start it before the car will take you home.

What this simply mean is that, if you want other people to treat you in a pleasant way, you must be pleasant to them first, doing so will encourage them to act towards you in the same or even better manner, don’t wait for others to be nice to you before you start treating them the same way, I urge you to start treating each person the way you did like to be treated starting from this moment.

Steer Your Ship Towards Your Goal

2010-09-03T07:06:00.000-07:00

We all set goals with the aim of achieving it at first, not all goal setters gets result, setting a goal doesn’t automatically mean getting the result.

For some goals are set and are gradually achieved while for others goals are set and are faded away into the thin air, every goal setter have a reason for setting up a particular goal, people don’t just jump out of bed with a goal out of nowhere, There source of inspirations, something that boost up our imagination, we usually see or sometimes read something somewhere somehow that make us want to change, there is an initial spark and we are hit with a flood of motivation and can’t wait on this goal.

After a week or even days our enthusiasm dies off and the spark of inspiration becomes a memory, we know what the goal is, but we no longer have that passion burning inside of us.

To achieve your goal we need to stay motivated and we need to keep the inspiration on flow the goal is meant to be constantly in our mind, present where ever we are, if we are constantly in reminder of our goal they will never go away, it means if our goal is always in our mind it’s easy to achieve them, as with most things it’s better to keep this process simple.

STEERING YOUR SHIP TOWARDS YOUR GOAL.

VISION BOARD – This is idea is for you to get a notice board maybe at the entrance of your door, or somewhere that will keep you reminded. It’s best you accompany your board with photo, letter or anything that provide you the reminder of that original inspiration, if your goal is to become a FOOTBALLER think of something that remind you of the goal like football, football field, Messi the current best world footballer, or Christiano Ronaldo you know this lists are unlimited be creative or your goal is to become wealthy you think of cars, houses, unlimited.
Once you are through stick it where you will see it most, you can also have a note placed all around you, you can leave a note like “I want to be greater than Messi” or “am going to be richer than Bill Gate”. The more unavoidable and obvious your goals are, the easier it becomes to remember, and it’s easy to achieve.

TELL FRIENDS (BUT BE SELECTIVE) - Tell your friends about your goal, tell friends that would motivate and inspire you, so u could grow encouragement, the inspiring people in your life will aid momentum, have conversation about your goal often, don’t just tell your friend and never mention them again, you remind them and talk about their goal as well, if your goal is well known and a regular talking points, you will never loss your inspiration,
Stop giving obstacle permission to road-block your vision

Hopefully with the above methods, you will find your goal becoming part of whom you are and you will find the journey to achieving them more easier.

Never Under-Estimate Your Brain Power

2010-08-27T10:43:00.000-07:00

The brain is described as the ability to learn quickly and think about things in a logical and intelligent way.

Some years back I had like most adolescent thought I was quite old enough for any situation, until it dawned on me when my Grandfather passed away, I was the one entrusted with most of his valuables, what you will normally call “memorabilia”. He was a successful man... quite successful if you ask me.

During preparation for his burial, we were so confident of a hitch free ceremony, because one of my uncles had assured us that he had confided in him shortly before his passing away that substantial amount of money was in the bank, of which I was the only signatory as next-of-kin. The proof the bank require from me was a 14-digit account number with which the withdrawal will be activated.

A duplicate copy of his pass book containing this number was previously in my custody for years, but I threw all caution to the wind, at the attempt of memorizing the number. Even sometimes playfully, not knowing that one day, it would ring a bell, and besides I thought to myself, what for? I made frantic effort traveling all the way to Lagos to inform the bank of his death as there was no mobile phone in the country at that time, claiming such a huge amount of money would require a personal appearance at the bank’s head office.

After two days I was invited to come with proof which may either be just a verbal quoting of the account number. I mustered all courage to try my luck since I could not remember where I misplaced the passbook, Sad enough, I missed just one digit as I could not recall the full 14 digit account number, on the spot, right in front of the bank manager, hard as I tried for 3hours, and sweating profusely like a wounded lion. Alas! It was just too late, I quickly decided to make a trip back to Abuja which itself took almost the whole day.

Getting to Abuja, I got another shock of my life as I was told by the house-maid that all papers in the store has been burnt as instructed by my uncle who said my late step dad’s apartment should be thoroughly cleaned up. I gasped for breath and almost fainted, while I then, made attempt to confirm from other members of the family as the burial ceremony is just days away.

Although, the situation was salvaged and interment, burial ceremony and thanksgiving went on beautifully. It took over two years, after this embarrassing incident, before we could claim my late step dad’s money in the bank, Imagine, what if I got arrested for impersonation? What a big lesson! The experience taught me how I had taken all my brain power for granted. Little did I know a little forgetfulness can cause such untold embarrassment, suffering and delay in such crucial situation, Imagine, if I had memorized those account number and quoted them correctly it would have changed the whole scene. Nevertheless, that day, I have since then vowed not to let that happen again, and right from that moment, I started to focused probing into the human thinking faculty and became so fascinated by memory power more so, my greatest joy for the past 16yrs is always the sense of fulfillment I experience helping others, realize their full potential in at utilizing this amazing power to accumulate success in life. I could not imagine it happening to a family less fortunate. I know better, because it had once happened to me.
