NURTURE YOUR DREAMS.

Image
Dreams without goals are just dreams and overtime they breed disappointment. It's not enough to dream. Its not enough to aspire and wish for things to happen. Take extra steps of determination and persistence to bring those dreams to reality. Those are the two necessary habit every winner should imbibe. I won't tell you achieving your dreams would be easy. No! Actually its not easy. Things gets so tough and difficult that you are pushed several times against the wall. But you will have to make a commitment in your life to live that life you dream. That is what keeps you going through the difficult days. A committed life to living your dreams is what Is required. Listen! It's either you work hard to produce results or you give reasons why you ain't achieving your dreams. It's either results or reasons. Which are you breeding? You have to make that decision right now. Be decisive Be fearless Be dauntless Acknowledge that you have got all ...

EXHAUST IT ALL !

If you die today, what gifts, abilities and talents are you going to the grave with? Look into the future, what do you want to be known for? What do you want out of life? If you have not sat down to answer these questions explicitly, then you need to. Take time all by yourself, without distractions and find out who you want to be. Discover the gifts and talents inside of you. When you have done that, leave your comfort zone and get on with impacting the world with it. The world is too noisy. The world is full of people who just want money for survival and nothing else. They are hopeless wanderers who pass through the world with no aim and influence others to do so. You are not like that. Have an aim for existing Live a purpose driven life. Be passionate about life and the course of living. Exploring yourself would surprise you. You will discover how rich you are. Bear in mind, the gifts inside of you are not meant to entertain you. Its for the world. You must learn ...

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF.

Image
What is that one thing you are sure of? Who is that person you believe so much that you nod your head 100% to his/ her ideas and opinions. If there is anybody to be sure of......its YOU. The truth is that no one cares about how good you are except you. The way you carry yourself is a reflection of the level of confidence you have in yourself. Do you believe you are the best or you just assume that maybe you are just good enough. (Just maybe I'm good and if I try, by chance I can be taken for a particular job). Listen! If you believe you are the best painter in the world, you will carry yourself like the best, relate to others like the best and act same too. I know we all have that mental doubt, that comes to play in our minds, but what makes others confident of who they are is that they DON'T dwell on those mental doubts. They forge ahead and prove those doubt's wrong. Drown the voice that antagonizes your self worth. Rise above "maybe I can be the bes...

INVEST IN YOU!

Image
Being busy does not make u effective. Watch it! What do you spend most of your time doing? Running round the clock yet accomplishing nothing tangible? That's being busy. Being busy only accounts for things that does not add value to you. Things that literally takes your time and yet leaves you unfulfilled and empty. The world is looking for effective people. Productive people who are continually investing in themselves and making good use of their 24 hours. Effectiveness is what distinguishes you from others. Most people love to appear busy and yet they do nothing. They have a day all planned out and they repeatedly say "oh, I have been so busy" What have you been busy doing? Developing yourself? Making others happy? Engaging your talents? Or just like the rest.......busy doing nothing! Effectiveness makes you a master in your field. It increases your self worth. Great people are known to be effective. What's the difference between you and th...

DON'T SELL YOUR DREAMS!

Image
Growing up, our dreams and aspirations were beautifully captured. We had a clear mental image of what we wanted to do, who we wanted to be and how we desired life to turn out. Then comes growth and we become adults. Life presents us with different options. Too different from what we dreamt of. Most of us got side tracked into jobs thay we don't like. The thought of a Monday morning literally gives us heart attack. We gradually loose the taste of all the beautifully captured mental picture of our dreams and purpose. Why? Maybe cause you have been told that your dreams are not realizable. Maybe cause you have been forced to settle for what you can lay your hands on simple because you have been told that economy is bad and you can't get there. The society subjugates us into something we don't want to be. Into a mediocre life because we just want to survive and that's all. Others exploit us and turn us into "beasts of burden". Many use our intellect...

NIGERIANS ARE SO STEROTYPED

Image
I know you must have heard of this a million times (that's if am not exaggerating). I too may have heard it countless times and I have lost count. I disbelieved this saying due to certain reasons I can't exactly say or maybe cause I'm not stereotyped like most Nigerians......or so I thought. Recently, I heard a colleague of mine asking another lady who equally is a colleague to repeat what she said. Apparently he wanted to confirm if he heard her right. Upon repeating what she said, he asked if she was from a particular side of the country. When she affirmed, he confirmed his suspicion on all he thought about her. He claimed that persons who hailed from that part of Nigeria behaved and spoke in a certain way. He argued his points so strongly that I had to help my lady colleague win her point. I sincerely asked myself if there was a thought pattern encoded into the DNA of individuals who hailed from the same village to make them think alike. I couldn't underst...

MY THOUGHT PATTERN UNCENSORED !

Image
Guessing what my thoughts are on today..........Keep reading and you might just be thinking in the same direction with me or maybe not. I consider this a bit strange to write on this, but like I said, Its my thought pattern and am free to express myself. The more I try to defend the not so innocent, the more I find out reasons and excuses behind each action. (You'll understand with time) I took a trip some years back to somewhere still in Nigeria. I went for a conference and after the tiring lecture hours and few tea breaks, I was totally worn out.  I took my freedom and opportunity to explore the city into my own hands and within few hours of exiting the conference center gate, I had visited three wonderful places (The art center, the museum and the resort).  I finally decided to rest at the resort and have a nice rest (hehehehehe).  The night at the resort was so beautiful and further leisure walk down the tiled and neatly cut grass walk way bro...

INVESTMENTS AND LESSONS LEARNT.

My expressions most times don't match what's going on in my head. I really wanted to quit the pity face and give my dear new friend the advice she solicited for.  Prior to now, I was sitting all alone patiently waiting for the closing hour. Hands on my system and going through posts on Instagram. My usual smile played on my face each time I saw a post that totally slayed.  ''A little digression'' Slaying in what sense? Great inspirational quotes slay  Great fashion sense slay Finally the funny pages with funny videos slay.  So basically these are the things that kept me entertained while waiting for time to tick faster. Amidst my unconscious  smiles, a tap on the shoulder instantly turned my head. She sat helplessly looking like the world had come crashing on her. On asking what the matter was, she replied with another question. ''Have you ever invested an amount of money into a business you were so sure would make so mu...
