Thank God its Monday

“When a man or woman has a vision their life becomes very tight” ~ Dr Myles Munroe. This is one of my favorite quotes because I feel like vision makes life very simple . I strongly believe that once you know were you are going you automatically know which roads will take you there, who will take you there and what you need to avoid as well. Vision for me defines what you need to do, it gives a clear view of your destination. It becomes easy to say no because whatever offered to you needs to align to what you see for yourself, if not then its not for you. The reason for most people not living the lives that they want to in my view is to a greater extent their lack of knowledge on who they are. Self discovery is possibly the best thing that can ever happen in your life. I think the term life begins at 40 was coined after they realized that on average people slowly get into who they really are and start becoming more of themselves around 40. This could be a result of numerous year...

I am sure we have all been through a phase where you are stuck between knowing what to do and doing it. “ Tomorrow is a new day ” or “ I am going to start tomorrow ” or “ New day new me ” have always been my favorite statements to fire myself up for the next day which in my mind would be the day that I change the course of my life. The sad thing is that day never came because the zeal and energy I had when I made those statements seemed to fizz out as soon as I wake up the next day. This is what most people call procrastination and Mel Robinson calls it the knowledge action gap where you know what it is that you must do but you just can’t get yourself to do it. Personally, I have been going through this and I am still working on ways to become more productive. I have some habits that I have found to be helpful and have really helped me improve productivity and actually get things done. Wake up early The start of all my problems usually came when the alarm clock went off an...

In life we are faced with God ordained opportunities that are perfectly disguised as problems and challenges. We need to realize that the moment we stop fighting for what we want then what we don’t want automatically takes over. One thing I have learnt is that it all comes down to the “ inner game ”. Changing the course of your life is all about changing the inner game which means a drastic change in your own mindset. This year is all about challenging one’s self and pushing yourself to the limit . Here are 3 ways I feel can greatly help in your journey :   Connect to the source                                                                 All religions share one thing in common which is the belief that we all come from one source which is a supreme being. Myself being a Christian I call my source God and to m...

We have all been through times or met people who have made us feel like we aren't worth as much as we feel we are. We have been through times where we ourselves question our own self-worth . The good news is " someone's opinion of you does not have to become your reality ", this statement has the potential to change your entire life if you believe in it. This has propelled many successful people into chasing their dreams which brings me to the number one dream killer FEAR . People don't go after what they want because they fear failure, rejection, judgement and worst of all they fear getting out of their comfort zone. This entire year is all about breaking all these barriers that are put up by fear by mastering the emotion itself. I have done some research throughout the week on how people who have made it in life have conquered their fears and marched onward to their destinies. Focus on the result Before we venture into anything new, there is always ...

"Never discourage anyone who makes progress, no matter how slow...even if that person is yourself" ~Plato. Success is a long hard journey, it takes a lot of self discipline and determination . Within this hard journey there are often times where you feel like giving up because "IT IS HARD" but the honest truth is the harder it gets, the closer you are to where you want to be. I am sure a great number of people have already set their new year's resolutions and some are already on the verge of giving up. Well there are still 11 more months to go and you can still make it . I have compile a short list of things i feel could be of some assistance in your quest to fulfill these new year resolutions : Snowball This to me is one of the most effective ways to ensure efficient progress. The snowball effect represents a continuous growth in small increments. This simply means that you need to use the momentum gained from one victory to propel you to the next. Tha...

"You become what you think about most.. But you also attract what you think about most" ~ John Assaraf. This famous quote never made sense to me especially the second part, this was until i read a book by Rhonda Byrne called The Secret. The book opened my eyes to a lot of things and i got so excited that i just had to tell everyone only to realize that the book has been around for a very long time and its lessons have been implemented in the lives of thousands across the planet. The book basically focuses on bringing awareness to the strength of the mind and how proper use of it can shape your reality into what you want it to be. It got me thinking about how best one can take control of their mind and shape their own reality, so i have compiled a list of things or techniques you can try which will help you gain control of your mind and create the life you want: It all begins with your  thoughts. Like have always highlighted in all my previous blogs, the key to obtaining an...

"Whenever you read a good book, somewhere in the world a door opens to allow in more light" ~ Vera Nazarian. One of the greatest indicators that someone will be a great person is their thirst for knowledge . They are always great readers. Reading not only gives you a habit that is beneficial to your mental well-being but it also gives you the ability to articulate, speak and have great command of the English language. This in turn makes you seem a lot smarter than you may actually be and it will open up certain doors for you . Though for beginners it may seem like a dull and tedious hobby, the more experienced readers will tell you that their lives were never the same after their first few books. The habit on its own brings about a lo of benefits and i will mention a few that i have noticed in my life : Mental Stimulation and increased creativity Stress reduction Greater knowledge of the world Vocabulary expansion(my favorite) Improved focus and concentration ...
