OUR WORST FEAR

By  at July 23, 2016    No comments


“Take the first step in faith, you don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step” ~ Martin Luther King Jr

Our worst fear is failure, and most people live under the shadow of failure that they are so scared of failing that they don’t take any risk at all.

But listen to me, our worst fear shouldn’t be failure but “How do you rise each time you fail?”

You must understand that failure happens to everyone but real successful people are those who rose up whenever they encountered failure and kept trying until they achieved success.

If you have failed before or even failed many times, then don’t be afraid anymore, rather think of how to rise each time you fail.

I had tasted the bitter pill of failure that I am not scared of failing anymore. All I just do is to take that bold step and if I fail I try again and if I succeed, I proceed to take another step.

So today, like a snail, you must come out of your shell if you must get to where you are going. Don’t be scared of failure anymore.

Ralph Waldo Emerson advised, “Do the things you fear and the fear of death is certain”

WHERE ARE YOU GOING?

By  at July 23, 2016    No comments

It was Abraham Lincoln that said, “The world stand aside for any man to pass who knows where he is going”

Now, the question for today is where are you going? Most people always say that they haven’t achieve anything, others would day that they haven’t achieve their dream. Now ask them, “What is their dream? You will be surprised that most of them don’t even have a dream.

Listen to Lawrence .J. Peters, “If you don’t know where you are going, you will probably end up somewhere else”.

So I challenge you today to have a dream. Write it down. Set daily goals. Write them down where you can always read it. The point is he knew where you are going.

Lets take a close study at the life of Abraham Lincoln. He became the president of America at age sixty(60). He failed more than 11 times. He was born in extreme poverty, but he never gave up all because he knows where he was going. He ended up becoming one of America’s greatest presidents who helped to keep America united during the civil war.

The bottom line is ask yourself this question, “Where am I going?” What do I really want to achieve?” once you have discovered it, then give everything towards achieving it”

            I will end with this quote from Martin Luther King Jnr that, “If you haven’t found what you will die for, then you are not fit to live.

INITIATOR NOT IMITATOR

By  at July 23, 2016    No comments


“It is better to die in originality than to succeed in imitation” ~ Herman Melville

You were created as an original being, formed in the image and likeness of God. You are unique and one of a kind. Stop wishing you were someone else !!!!

Appreciate what God has made you to be and start developing the gifts God has given you. You are a unique blend of gifts and character and you have a special purpose on earth. This you must know.

Long before you were conceived by your mother, God knew you already. He had formed you and destined what you were born to be. God carefully chose your race, sex, skin colour and your physique.

He carefully planned for you and deposited in you the gifts, talents, skills that you possess. You are neither an accident nor a coincidence.

So today, refuse to copy anybody. Be an INITIATOR, and not an Imitator. Think and come up with your own ideas.

William Albright said, “The man who follow the crowd will never be followed by a crowd”

            So step out of the crowd and take the lead. Be an initiator!

TRUST GOD COMPLETELY

By  at July 23, 2016  ,  2 comments


One day, a man planted a tree as ask God for rain to help it grow and God send rain. Next, he prayed for sunshine and God sent sunshine. Finally, he prayed for frost to strengthen its branches and God sent that too, but the tree died.

Greatly upset, the man decided to consulted  Master gardener. “I ordered all the right things to make it grow, what went wrong?” he asked. The gardener took him aside and showed him his own garden, filled with healthy plants and trees.

Listen to the gardener, “When I plant a garden, I ask God to send whatever I feels it needs. I figure he knows best”

Most of us are like the man in the above story. When we pray, we tell God what we want rather than what God wants for us. Most times we act like instructors, instructing God and telling him what to do.

Why can’t we just be like the master gardener in the story. Submit totally to the will of God, trust Him completely for He knows what is best for our idea.

For you to live a fulfilled life, you must trust God completely, submit totally to His will for He knows what is best for your life.

YOU CAN MAKE AN IMPACT

By  at July 23, 2016    No comments


One of my favourite motivational story talks about a man who wanted to make an impact on the world. As a young man, he wanted to change the world but he couldn’t. Days passed by, months passed by and years rolled past and he kept pondering on how to make an impact.

But now an old man, he discovered himself and realized that he would had started by making an impact on his family, his family would make an impact on his community, his community would affect his town, his town would make an impact on his city. His city would impact the country and his country would change the world.

Now, as an old man, the only person he could change was himself and if he had worked on himself many years ago, he would had made an impact.

So if you want to make a change and affect the world positively, start with yourself. And when others see the change in you, they will want to be like you, others will ant to be like them and gradually, you are making an impact.

Don’t look too far, speak to that friend of yours, your colleague, coursemate, boss, leader, siblings, parents, start be impacting their lives.
Yes, you can make an impact.
