Become Who You Are

Image
"If you don't know who you truly are, you'll never know what you really want." Roy T. Bennett Keep evolving into what you are, into that special and unique being that you were intended to be. Make up your mind to be willing to go to the dark places that your unique journey will lead you to. The dark places of discipline, commitment, patience, pain and perseverance.  We all feel that inkling, that quiet but persistent disturbance in our souls known as the call of duty tapping us gently and urging us to make the necessary steps that will propel us into becoming Grand Masters of whatever we might have chosen to venture into. Many are unable to answer to this clarion call and this is the reason why majority of us are just drifting through life without a meaningful purpose and with actually nothing to look forward to. We should endeavor to prayerfully make the conscious efforts and steps that will catapult us from average or below average into the shining star image ...

Greatness or Nothing

Image
"God has planted greatness in you. Let today be the beginning of a great adventure as you step into the gifts He's given you."- Joyce Meyer Whether you believe it or not, you were sent here to accomplish great things, to showcase your being for the betterment of humanity. God never created a mediocre and it is we humans that decide to become average limiting ourselves of the gr eat power that dwells within us. Decide to live your best life and make up your mind to be a conqueror. That is what will put a smile on God's face. Commit yourself to making God proud by working earnestly to developing yourself to full capacity. God is waiting on you to start walking in boldness and in faith then He will direct you according to the best pathway for your life as He has promised. He never ever goes back on His word so it is left for us to decide to use this trust to our advantage.

What Do You Want?

Image
“You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose and to do it courageously’- Steve Maraboli Seem like a simple question. A question that great men ponder on and little men avoid. A question that determines the outcome of our destinies. What do you want and how do you intend to live and impact your world? This is the question that we must all answer today and not tomorrow or next week. What is that task that you must accomplish to validate your time here on earth? Tackle it head-on and propel yourself to destiny. The difference between the great and the mediocre lies in their sense of purpose. The Great knows exactly what he wants and the price he has to be pay for its achievement. They make peace with the facts and get to work immediately. Once you are willing and ready to begin, the Lord will direct your footsteps and will guide you along the best pathway for your life as you begin to walk your divine path to greatness. Greatness is what ...

Never Seek Validation

Image
“A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.” ― Vernon Howard A validation seeker is more often than not a destiny loser. To seek validation or approval for your work and creativity is to dilute your spark. Be original, be real and just do your thing. Create and produce your works at your highest levels and try to be the best in anything your heart might have chosen for you. Live your life on your terms and do exactly what it is that you intend to do. Never allow the voice of the next man to rob of you off your passion and greatness. Make it your practice to run as far away as possible from destiny distorters. The sad thing is that some of these people actually wish you their very best and have very good intentions for your progress only if it is line with what they think is best for you. Take three steps backwards from such persons. Really, what is the point of mixing-up another man’s negativity...

Protect your Happiness

Image
“A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?” Albert Einstein Find your happiness in the little things of life. Don’t wait until you reach your destined landmark to be happy but learn to be happy along the way. Do not make your yardstick of happiness too tall or you may be unhappy for a very long time. Happiness comes from being true and frank with yourself and letting nothing come in between you and your very original aspirations. Being happy is of importance if we intend to self-actualize. Protect your happiness and guard it jealously as it is an essential ingredient in your food of life. Make good efforts to understanding exactly what it is- activities, habits or hobbies that give you joy and a sense of fulfillment then do more of these things in mammoth measures. For example, reading and writing makes me very happy so I engage myself with these activities every day. I just never miss out! Life is quite short and frag...

The Story of the Heart

Image
“One love, one heart, one destiny”- Bob Marley The heart is a soft and delicate place. The center and operational hub of our soul. The heart is gifted and highly talented in deciding our outcomes as human beings and also known as the gravitational force of our daily decisions. Likened to a soft and teary little girl in constant need of emotional pampering and petting, she must be timely attended to else she falls ill and dies. The heart is always in constant conflict with the ideas of the brain but somehow manages to secure her position as the leader and master. This makes the brain sad and depressed but what can he do? The heart is often praised for her ruggedness and soft-tendered nature and graced with combining these two highly clashing attributes infused in a single organ. But that is her powerful nature and exactly what makes her different and unsurprisingly distinctive. This very organ is what determines the nature of man- evil or angelic or the combination of both at...

What Are You Mastering?

Image
“You are your master. Only you have the master keys to open the inner locks.”- Amit Ray To master anything- a Skill, a Vocation, an Art or a Business will mean a total and consistent devotion of your complete being- mind, body and soul and the application of your best self into whatever it is you have chosen to master. Until you are ready to achieve this feat, mastery which is already a herculean task, will keep eluding you and hence, become impossible to achieve. What is it you are trying to master? Pour out your soul on it. Dedicate and block out a particular time of the day towards its achievement and make it your duty to be consistent with your practice. Become obsessed with it and never look back once you begin. Mastery is the accumulation of little but consistent efforts built up over time. In other words, mastery is never a one-time event but series of events practiced religiously. Become more mindful of your being and know what it is you are trying to master...
