I'M NIGERIAN

Image
Once I used to be indifferent about the state of the things in the country Once I used to think that just my family and few close friends mattered Once I neglected to vote.........Just cause I felt that My vote didn't count Once I felt the government was far away from me and so long as I had breath in my nostrils, I will fight for survival. Now I know BETTER!  Nigeria is mine and I must fight for not just my family and few friends, but for the thousands of lives that die daily due to  Poverty Unemployment Disease.......etc I'm deeply pained at the way things have gone from bad to worse. Maybe am affected now because am an adult and I fend for myself. I feel the pain most parents go through when they can't provide for their families. Now what's my pain? When I heard of the protest/march, I was happy. I longed for the day to come so I could equally express my self via any means comfortable . I was grateful for the platform ma...

ROCK BOTTOM............ THE PERFECT PLACE FOR REBUILD.

Image
What happens when you get to work and you are told your services are no longer needed?...............In essence fired! What happens when you invest all you had into a business and it collapses? What happens when after many years of hard work and strive and yet there is nothing to show for it What happens when the world treats you with disdain and disrespect like you are nothing? What happens when situation bangs your head against the wall? The answer is NEVER GIVE UP. Am not writing from a perfect point of view. Am actually writing from experience. I have experienced the lowest point of my life and I know someone maybe in that situation now. Rock bottom is the lowest point of one's life. It's that stage of your life when everything seems never to work and you are down all by yourself. Rock bottom is a terrible experience and most people at this point give up on life. Some commit suicide or even get dissociated from the world. Being fully...

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.

EXHAUST IT ALL !

Image
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...
