Living a passionate life

"A life without passion is not living, its merely existing" ~ Leo Buscaglia. Passion can be defined as  a strong feeling of enthusiasm or excitement for something or about doing something. For me this means an uncontrollable urge to do something, to make a change. Most people have a passion for sports meaning that they have an uncontrollable urge to do anything sports related which is why you can find a student being an active member of several teams in several disciplines. This is simply because they can not help but be on the field. Passion brings happiness because once you discover what you are passionate you start living a narrow life . I received some advice from a colleague and it changed the way i saw things, i decided to share 3 important things he touched on :

  • Don't live a limited life
    Growing up we have always been told to stay in our lane and not bash into the world so much. We were told not to make too much noise and just live a normal simple life. The funny thing is that all those people who made up "life rules" were nor smarter than you are. This to me means that we can change how our life plays out. 
  • Have passion
    In everything you do you need to have passion. There is nothing more frustrating than being in a place you don't like doing something you don't like. Find something you absolutely love doing and dedicate some time to doing that. Grow it and you will be surprised at what you will achieve.
  • Build around adding value
    I have chosen to take this year to invest in myself in everything. Read more books, attend more seminars, read some more, network, learn as much as i can and work on becoming the best version of myself.
Maybe it is time for you to take action and make a change in your life. Take time to find what you are passionate about and explore your gift. Have a blessed week and Thank God its Monday

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo

Value your identity

Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity

If not now then when

I feel like this week's article is a sequel to the one from last week because I have the same thought process and emotion as I did last week in relation to just starting on whatever it is you want to start on. I have had times where my mind has just been rich with potentially scalable project ideas which would not only benefit me but also those around me. The reason why none of you have heard about these projects is because all of them are still waiting for something to happen first before they can take off. Bear in mind the biggest dream killers are procrastination and the search for perfection. Procrastination is is the action of delaying or postponing something. So basically everyday you say I will start tomorrow or next week Monday for no clear reason then you my friend are slowly turning into a consistent procrastinator but it doesn't have to be like that. Like I always say...the reason why you never do things is because your brain is always trying to keep you safe and com
