AGE IS IRRELEVANT

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Mon, 21 Jul 2014 11:02:00 +0000

It is never too late to begin! Don’t let age or circumstances of life deceive anyone into believing that is too late to begin. There is no magic age at which excellence emerges or when quality surfaces.

You are old when you stop learning either at 20 or 80 years old says one of the wise men. Let look at it from these two angles;

First, we think we are too young to be an Hero or make impact. Consider the following;

Alexander the great, at 32years in 323 B.C.E he conquered kings and made Greece the fifth World power. Gen. Yakubu Gowon was 30 years and unmarried when he became the Military Head of State in Nigeria. Charles Dickens was 25 years when he wrote his famous book Oliver Twist. Sir Isaac Newton was 24years when he formulated Law of gravity.

Second, we sometime think that creativity and invention belongs to the young, check this out; the patriarch Abraham ministry started at the age of ninety. Michelangelo painted his masterpiece between the ages of 71-89.

Ever heard of the eighteen/forty/sixty rule? When you are eighteen, you worry about what everybody’s thinking about you. When you are forty, you realize that it doesn’t really matter what they think about you. When you are sixty, it dawns on you that most of them weren’t thinking about you at all.

In most cases age don’t necessarily make us better, often it makes us rigid in our approach to life.

FAILURE IS NOT FINAL

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:59:00 +0000

I wonder if you are like me! I have failed in many things, in many ways, so many times.

Even when you fail, it is not over. Failure is not a person, it is an event. Failure is not suppose to make your bitter but better. As we all know that no condition is permanent therefore failure is not a permanent situation.

John Mason said “if you fall pick something up”. The issue is not whether you will fail, because you will. The issue is what you do when you fail. Failure can either mark the beginning of your rising or destruction.

A lot of great people being talked about today, failed several times but never give up. They kept standing up after every fall and know they are standing tall. Michelangelo failed many times before painting his masterpiece between the ages of 71-89. Abraham Lincoln failed so many times, am sure you know his story, yet became the 16^thPresident of USA.

Have you failed so much you lost everything? Sorry, but that is the perfects place to start. You don’t begin to live until you have lost everything.

Don’t let the fear of failure stop you from moving out of your comfort zone, because the earlier you test the waters the better for your destiny.

Failure is an opportunity to do it better next time, it is a stepping stone to your greatest. He who fears to fail, has already fail. W. Clement said “Failure is experienced by those who, when they experience defeat, stop trying to find something more”.

Remember you don’t drown by falling inside water, you drown by staying there. Stop beating yourself up over your failures, opportunities far greater than those you have lost lies ahead of you.

GET RID OF FEAR

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Tue, 11 Feb 2014 09:04:00 +0000

The world is a narrow bridge. The important thing is to have no fear’ Hasidac Master

Rabbi Nachman. As we walk down life’s path, there are challenges to be faced

up with everyday, they either make or break, you either overcome or be overcome. The

difference between those who win and those who don’t is there attitude towards

fear.

Fear makes threat/problem bigger than it really is. Be sure when

making any decision in the face of intimidation, it is not driven by

fear. Don’t let fear dictate your direction,because a fear driven

decision, will only lead in the wrong direction.

To accomplish any goal, first overcome the biggest enemy –Fear. Anytime there is

something great to achieve the fear of failure stares us in the face. To experience a

miracle, face your fears and the sky will be a stepping stone to greater height.

You will never know the success of an idea if you let the fear of making a mistake

paralyze you. As this year counts down, don’t stay in that familiar place/comfort zone

rather face challenges, dare the impossible, move forward.

Bishop Oyedepo said “In every man’s promise land there are giants”.The giants

are obstacles that need to be overcome for destiny to be fulfilled. We cannot overcome

obstacle if fear causes us not to take action in time when action is

vital.

Whether individually or corporately, face your fear and it will give

way to greatness.

11 Thoughts on life

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Mon, 29 Jul 2013 11:41:00 +0000

1.Each moment of life is a miracle; good times, bad times, hard choices, costly mistakes, lost opportunities, wonderful times. Never regret your past, rather embrace it as the teacher that it is. Always remember that what lies behind you and what lies ahead of you is nothing when compared to what lies within you.

2. The rich invest their money and spend what’s left, while the poor spend their money and invest what’s left.

3.Successful people think about what they want and most times get it. Unsuccessful people think about what they don’t want but they get more of it. You want to be happy and successful, think about success and happiness always.

4. We are poor, not because of God.

5. Don’t blame the world for what you are now. All that a man becomes or fails to become is the direct result of his thought. Aspire to be better, and you will become or achieve, that which you desire. Remember Gen 11:6b. ‘And nothing that they propose to do will be impossible for them.’

6. Thinking about good things helps us to be grateful, remaining grateful helps us to have a positive attitude. Having a positive attitude helps us think about good, which in most cases will manifest.

7. Reading does not make wise, it only informs whereas reasoning enlightens you and makes wise. The final test of any learning is always application.

8. Your condition is an act of the enemy, your portion is an act of God. Don’t settle with your condition; rather reach out for your portion.

9. Change is inevitable, the only constant thing in life. Remember your world will change whether you like it or not but you have the power to choose its direction.

10. Inspirational books are like friends or family who guide you in your dark period, and moral strength and a positive energy that gives hope during bad times.

Magic Rule of -

Nobody gets anything carelessly, you have to work seriously towards achieving your goal. There is the tendency that for the first few weeks you are seriously committed to achieving your goal. Suddenly, your zeal slows down and you feel reluctant to continue.

Incorporating a new lifestyle or stopping an old bad habit could be a daunting challenge, but there is a rule that can help you change easily and permanently.

The magic rule believes that for a new behavior to crystallize into a habit, one had to perform the new activity for twenty-one days in a row. Once you are able to practice the new activity for twenty-one days straight, it will become part of you for life like brushing your tooth every morning.

According to Robin S. Sharma in his book: The monk who sold his Ferrari “The only way to permanently install a new habit is to direct so much energy towards it that the old on slips away like an unwelcome house guest.

The installation is generally complete in about twenty-one days, the time it takes to create a new neural pathway.”

With persistence and commitment no goal or dream is impossible.

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Mon, 01 Jul 2013 13:24:00 +0000

Set deadline – Turning your dream/goal into reality cannot be achieved without defining the time the goal must be realised. To breathe life to a goal you must attach a precise deadline to it. A goal is not a goal until there is a set time to achieve it.

Specify a time for achieving your objective. This is important in motivating you; set out in the direction of your goal and keep moving towards it.Whatever it is you want to achieve, form a perfect picture and put positive pressure on yourself, and set time for your desires to manifest.

Every goal must be time controlled, for example, I want to lose 3kg in 3weeks. For goals with longer time, split the goal and time of achievement further, such as, I must lose 1kg every week.

Time is an essential and irrecoverable thing in our life. Sir Issac Newton said, “A well arranged time is the surest mark of a well arranged mind.”

SECRET 003

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Tue, 25 Jun 2013 11:23:00 +0000

The secret of turning your dreams to reality is not a herculean task, they are simple and

easy to observe rules that can make life phenomena.

To achieve your goals in life, first understandyourself, then define what

you want. And the third secret is put pressure on yourself.

Create Positive Pressure - Pressure is not always a bad thing. Pressure can inspire you to achieve great ends. The main reason people do not follow through on any resolutions they make is that it is very easy to slip back into their old ways.

Humans generally achieve magnificent things when their backs are up against the wall and they are forced to tap into the wellspring of superhuman potential that lies within them.

The question will then be, how can I create positive pressure? Best way is a public pledge; tell everyone what you want to achieve. For example, you want to lose excess weight or write a novel.

Once you make your goal known to the world, there will be instant pressure on you to work towards the fulfillment since no one likes to look like a failure.

The truth is sometimes you may not know how or what it takes to achieve your goal but with the pressure, you will try.

The moment one definitely commit oneself, then providence moves too. And all sorts of things occur to help one that would never otherwise have occurred.

And before you know it, your desire is right on your lap. SECRET 002

WELCOME NEW YEAR

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Sat, 19 Jan 2013 15:55:00 +0000

The year 2012 has come and gone. Visions were formed. Goals were scored. Opportunities were created. Successes were recorded. Despite these phenomenal achievements, I still have some regrets, as am sure most of you do; because of wrong decisions, some goals not achieved, unfulfilled expectations, dashed hopes and much more. But I have decided to let bygones be bygones and choose to be happy. What about you? Wouldn't you rather let bygones be bygones?

Okay, last year is gone; a new year is here.What do you want to do with it? You have a brand new page before you. Would you rather write the regrets of last year or a brand new story of struggles and successes. As the saying goes: “the ball is in your court”. If you are a believer of making New Year resolutions, then make them. If you are not, do whatever you believe will work for you, to make this year great.

You know all of us die but not all of us live. Living is all about leaving the past behind, working on the present so that the future can be what you want to be. You are living when you a have a purpose, when you wake up with a goal, dream or task to pursue and achieve.

You wake up with a smile not because everything is perfect but because you know that you have the power to make the imperfect perfect. You have that power to design whatever you want out of the raw deal the world is handing over to you.

Let us remind ourselves that life is full of twists and turns, ups and downs, surprises and disappointments, and amazing opportunities. It is up to us to patiently prepare, recognize and utilize every opportunity.

Remember, You are the lord of the earth, with unlimited potentials; your playing small does not better the World. Therefore, dream, arise and act to let the world know that you LIVE.

5 Commandments Of An Achiever

noreply@blogger.com (Deju) — Tue, 18 Sep 2012 19:57:00 +0000

Have you ever been taught exactly how to aim high and achieve your goals regardless of the obstacles? if yes good but if no,congratulations, for you are on the verge of self discovery. According to free dictionary, “An achiever is a person with a record of successes” Do you remember the 10 Commandments? These commandments are deduced from the traits of world achievers. Am sure it will, be a perfect guide for all ACHIEVERS to be.

1 THOU SHALT BE PURPOSEFUL –Definiteness of purpose is a major decision in the life of an achiever. Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all worthwhile achievement. Set your own target, have a step by step guideline to achieve it. Direction makes life feels good. Purpose gives direction to your life.

To quote W. Clement: “Remember – your world will change whether or not you choose to change it. But you have the power to choose its direction.” Having a purpose is choosing direction of your life. Achievers are purpose driven.

2. THOU SHALL NOT PROCRASTINATE – Being an achiever begins with a mentality of ‘do it now’. "Procrastination is thief of time" says Edward Young. The sense of there is always tomorrow takes us nowhere. It is good to do an analysis of what you want to do, write report and evaluate risk but do what you have to do now not tomorrow. As you think of it, write it down and take action. NOW is the way of an achiever. Am sure you know that, the one greatest cause of failure is procrastination. Robert Collier, in his book “The Secret of the Ages” explains.

“ Through waste of time:

Duties go unperformed

Important decisions are never made

Opportunities fly by un-grasped.

Engagements go unmet.

Trains are missed.

Life itself slips by unlived.”

For achievers NOW is the time.

3. THOU SHALL NEVER MAKE EXCUSES – “My life is so hard.”

“I have no one to help me.” Does this sound like you? am sure you have said it times without numbers, because I have.

“The world isn’t interested in the storms you encountered but whether or not you brought in the ship.”

- Raul Armesto

Don’t turn to excuses as a way to explain your failure or to evade pursuing your dream. The world handed a lot of great achiever of today raw deal, but they did not let that deter them from achieving their goal. Instead, achievers use obstacles, problem or challenges as their stepping stone to the next level. Losers blame the world and circumstances outside themselves for their failure. Achievers take responsibility for their life.

4. THOU SHALL BE POSITIVELY MINDED – In all history of the world there was never anyone else exactly like you, and in all the infinity of time to come, there will never be another. You are a very special person. Positive mental attitude is a major attribute of a successful person. Achievers don’t think negatively, they checkout the seed of an equivalent benefit in every adversity. Remember the positive cycle; thinking about good things helps us to be grateful, remaining grateful helps us to have a positive attitude. Having positive attitude helps us to think about good which in most cases will manifest. Be positive – walk it, speak it and you will be it.

5. THOU SHALL IDENTIFY YOURSELF WITH A SUCCESSFUL IMAGE – Steve Maraboli, “if you hang out with chickens, you’re going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you’re going to fly.” Identifying one’s self with a successful image can help break the habit of self –doubt and defeat. It could be a slogan, a picture, or any symbol that is meaningful to you. It could be the picture of your father, a saint, or a mentor. Identify yourself with an image that will inspire you to make the right decisions. When you are faced with a serious problem or decision, ask your picture a question then listen for the answer.

Quite simple , remember that there is a seed of greatest in all of us, we just need a little work on ourselves for the hero's in us to emerge.
