INSPITE OF ALL ODDS…

This article is purely and highly inspiring and motivating. The gospel question is this; who told you that, you can’t make IMPACT in life and what makes you feel you are the worst and can’t step and rise up to become a world figure?

You can live your dreams, even when faced with challenges, oppositions and storms of life!!!

These are examples of men and women who made impact and living legacies against all odds:

In spite of blindness – Stevie Wonder became a global figure in music.

In spite of deafness and being told by his teacher that he has no hope as a composer – Beethoven became of the greatest composer in the history of mankind.

In spite of being born without limbs – Nick Vijucic became one of the world most respected men. His story became a source of inspiration and motivation to the world of man.

In spite of not having a college degree – Inazio Silva ruled Brazil for two terms as President.

In spite of dropping out of school – Bill Gates becomes one of the world’s richest men and a philanthropist of high pedigree and he today, employs best brain in the field of technology of which most are graduates from the school he dropped out.

In spite of being told by his teacher that he is too stupid and lukewarm to learn anything when he was a schoolboy which was a reason that he dropped out of school without a degree – Thomas Edison became the greatest inventors of all time, leaving his name and legacies on the sand of time.

In spite of being abused at a tender age – Ophrah Winfrey put her past behind and went ahead to become the world’s most sought after and paid entertainer and the weathiest black woman on earth.

In spite of spending 27 years of his entire life in prison as a result of fighting against colonialism and apartheid in South Africa – Nelson Mandela becomes an African leader the world will never forget in a hurry. And at the same time became the President of South Africa.

In spite of being told by his teacher that he can never become a millionaire – Farrah Gray became a self – millionaire at the age of 14

In spite of being a slave boy in no man’s land (Egypt) and imprisoned – Joseph became the first Prime Minister in a foreign land.

In spite of being imprisoned many times – Apostle Paul still followed his purpose and passion which was to preach the gospel and he wrote the largest portion of the scripture (New Testament) in the prison and;

In spite of being born to a poor carpenter in a manger – Our Lord Jesus became the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the greatest man that has ever lived with great display of wisdom… Hallelujah!!!

The story goes on and on, about people (men and women) who have lived their dreams in the face of numerous challenges, oppositions and storms.

What is it that you are facing now which seems difficult for you to overcome? “You are the way you are because of who you are and the decisions you make” – Myles Munroe. God want to use just the way you are. You don’t need anything you don’t have to be who God created you to be. You can still live your dreams despite the storms you are passing through right now. Only God knows why he created you the way you are and why you are passing through all you are passing through. They all happened for a purpose, and sooner or later you will see all working together for you good.

Whatever you are going through in life is to help you fulfill your purpose on earth and at the same time bring glory to God, you and mankind.

So, look for God intent in that situation in your life. Instead of complaining and murmuring about the way you were created. For all that you are going through in life, all you need to do is to find out why you are the way you are, why you went through all you went through or why you are going through what you are going through? Your answers to these questions may lead you to discovering purpose which is the essence for your existence.

Be happy about yourself because you are the best. Nobody is better than you and at the same time, nobody can be you. Develop a positive mental attitude (PMA) that will propel and spur you to greatness and success in life.

Despite all that these people who are our main point of reference pass through, they developed and maintained a possibility and positive mindset about themselves and also understood that their life could only be what they made it and not what anybody says about it. They had the ‘will power’ to go after their dreams and at the same time live it.

So, if they did it, you can even do more. Wake up, sit up, rise up and start up!!! Believe in yourself and your dreams.

NO MATTER WHAT, YOU CAN DO IT!!! YES, YOU CAN AGAINST ALL ODDS…

It is time for you to ‘arise and shine’ …

RUN WITH PURPOSE!!!

Over the past two weeks I have not been too committed to posting and updating articles on my blog. This was in connection with the pressing demand on my time to project my vision to my place of birth, I mean my very origin. The capitol of Kogi state (Lokoja). Lokoja is the capital city of Kogi State, in central Nigeria, and is a port on Niger River. Founded by William Balfour Baikie according to European historical records, although there have been indigenous people living in the area for thousands of years. Lokoja was the capital of British Northern Nigeria Protectorate and remained a convenient administrative town for the British colonial government after the amalgamation of Northern and Southern Nigeria Protectorates into one nation called Nigeria in 1914.^[2]
The first Governor General Lord Frederick Lugard ruled the new nation of Nigeria from Lokoja. The city has since grown to an estimated 90000 inhabitants. ^[3] It is a trade center for its agricultural region because it sits at the confluence of the Niger and Benue rivers, and is close to the new federal capital of Nigeria in Abuja. Near Lokoja (in Ajaokuta) are metallurgy facilities and iron ore mines

Lokoja is also a Local Government Area of Kogi State with an area of 3180 km² and a population of 195,261 at the 2006 census. It is bounded by the Niger in the north and east upstream from the capital until the border with Kwara State, and includes the city of Lokoja. The postal code of the area is 260.^[4] It is home to the Kogi State Polytechnic

I will be sharing on one of my greatest experience in the course of this journey which is in correlation with purpose. Despite the storms and pressures of life, men that always run with purpose will survive the test of time. In the word of Robert Bryne - “for the purpose of life in itself is a life of purpose”. And when the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse becomes inevitable – Myles Munroe. And when a man run with purpose, he/she has the capacity to survive every opposition and storms of life. My beloved, am challenging you to live a life of purpose and run with that purpose. Putting your life in your hand, with the mindset that, ‘if I die, I die, If I perish, I perish. Looking you in the eyes and telling yourself the truth that; I AM BORN TO DO THIS... Until a man comes to this understanding and make such decisions irrespective of the challenges around you’re him/her, then a life of purpose which propels greatness and success in life’s endeavours is not in view.

Running a life of purpose means deadly commitment to one’s vision and goals in life which have the capability to bring about quantum change and improvement to his/her family, immediate community, society, nation and the world at large. A man that must ‘run with purpose’ is a man who purpose is driven to live a life of achievement and fulfillment that will bring about greater glory and honour.

Apostle Paul in the Bible is an example of a man that runs with purpose. While speaking about his life; he said and I quote, ‘I run straight, to my goals with purpose in every step. What a way to live! Running straight, not up and down, helter-skelter, nor crooked. Running to his goals not aimless pursuit. He knows how to move in every step. No wonder! He achieved greatly during his mission in life. He made GREAT IMPACT in his lifetime. Like Mathew Arnold said and I quote: “resolve to be thyself, and know that, he who finds himself loses his mastery.” That is; it is better to live and run with purpose rather than have a purpose.

For a man to be able to run with his/her purpose, the following must be fully observed:

ü  Choose your purpose

ü  Choose how you spend your TIME

ü  Choose how to develop your natural talents, skills and potentials and;

ü  Choose how to make use of your natural talents skills and all of that.

The entire above put together, helps to create joy and meaning for yourself and others. Now is the time for you to re-organize your entire life and at the same time re-strategize. It is also high time for you to clearly define what your own quota will be to your generation which will in turn guarantee what you can get out of life; for it is your input that determines your output in life.

Finally, set yourself to pursue your purpose. For it has been said that; if you aim at something, you will hit it. Because, if you think you have a very long time to live, think again.it is high time you begin to make meaning out of your life by living a life of purpose and running with it, for your existence is not an act of accidence. Aim at a defined goal every single day of your life.

 CHALLENGE: Don’t be a YES man!

Word for Thought: “when I chase after money, l never got enough. But when I got my life on purpose and focus on giving myself and everything that came into my life, I became prosperous”  –Wyan Dyer. 

You will make IMPACT!!!

THE POWER OF GOAL SETTING

It is not position that makes the leader; it is the leader that makes the position via accurate goal setting. This is because; when it comes to identifying a leader, don’t listen to the claim of the person professing to be the leader, don’t examine his/her credentials, title, status or facial appearance but, check his/her influence which could only be exhibited through an unflinching goal setting. For the proof to true leadership which is accrued to goal setting is found in the follower-ship.
Goals are vision with feet. Goals are set of specific, measurable steps to achieve one’s vision life. It will deliver a leader from crisis management and help the leader to know the right direction whenever the vision seems blurred. You switch from ‘fire fighting’ to ‘fire prevention’.
The most effective goals in the history of mankind are stated in the present tense, and yet are entirely believable to be you. They are worded which make your goal now to be in the process of happening in the course of pursuing your life purpose – not that it has already been achieved, which is not believable. “I am a great leader or I am a millionaire” is stated in the present, yet it is something your conscious and subconscious mind will have difficulty to agree with. But in reality, you are struggling to pay your rent every month. Here is where the power of goal setting and positive affirmation lies; it has worked for me and millions of people out there. Once you start affirming your goal’s list positively, naturally over the time they start getting clearer and clearer with the pictures of those goals in view – and those pictures started to include some very specific step to take that will in turn guarantee the actualization of your dreams.
6 questions that will help a leader establish some long range goals over the next 10 years:
1.What do I want to do?
2.What do I want to be?
3.What do I want to see?
4.What do I want to have?
5.Where do I want to go?
6.What would I like to share?

When a man is able to have a clearer understanding about this all time questions that bring about an outstanding lifestyle then you are on your way to making impact and achieving greatness.
A man with a goal set for his/her life has a ‘yes’ face, because; they inspires their followers to greatness and greater heights. Goals are essential keys to achievement and success in life. But, it is so touching that, of only 3% of people have goals and write them down; 10% more have goals but keep them in their heads; while the rest 87% drift through life without definite goals or plans – John C. Maxwell. They do not know where they are going and allows other people to drive them through life by taking the driver’s seat of their destiny. Most importantly, the 3% accomplish from 50-100 times more during their lifetime more than the 10%.
To cap it all, goal setting is an on-going discipline which generates greater respect for the goal setter. You have to avail yourself to setting goals if you must achieve greatness and actualize your vision in life.
You will succeed and become great!

WHO YOU ARE…

                                                                  WHO YOU ARE…
Most time in life we get to the bend of the road – Yes! But the fact still remains that, the bend of the road in life does not signify the end; it’s just a traffic jam. So to say, we are all here on earth for a given purpose, which whenever I sit down in my closet to ponder on, I always come to the realization that, we all have our different assignment in life which we must bring to fulfillment by putting everything at our disposal (potential, skill , knowledge and talent) into adequate use. That is, every man and woman irrespective of our colour, tribe, race, affinity and culture; we are individually created, designed, fashioned and also wired for a specific task which its fulfillment is of utmost necessity to our creator – (The Infinite Intelligence). All of the above revelation brings me to the conclusion of who you are:
Ø You are somebody’s life

THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…

         THE FUNDAMENTALS OF LEADERSHIP…

It has been my greatest honour and priviledge over the past decade as an ambitious growing young man to mix, mingle and at the same time to be mentored and tutored by many men and women in different field of leadership within and outside the country. It has always been a fascination as I personally come to discover that, people naturally and without stress follow these leaders base on their leadership styles and qualities.

If there should ever be anytime in the history of our generation where we should be studying leadership principles is now. This was in marriage with the fact that, the greatest and daunting challenge of this present world is tied to leadership. I mean leadership on every field of our daily live. That is, the greatest need of the hour is a clarion call for constructive, creative, effective, positive and productive leadership. The church, industry, education, labour and government are all starving and at the same time yearning for positive and qualitative leadership. It is indisputable that, we have a large number of people filling leadership position but the confronting question is; how many of this leaders are fulfilling the core and essence of their leadership?  The above question now brings me to share with you the definitions of leadership in this context.

The concept of leadership over the years has been defined by many authors and leaders from different field and background.

Ø “Leadership is the discipline of deliberately exerting special influence within a group to move it towards goals of beneficial performance that fulfill the group’s real needs” – John Haggai

Ø “Leadership is:

·        Knowing what to do next;

·        Knowing while that is important; and

·        Knowing how to bring appropriate resources to bear on the need at hand” – Bobb Bichl

Ø “Also, leadership is an awesome responsibility, the process of encouraging and helping others to work enthusiastically towards achieving a set objectives” – Bob Baes.

Having known what leadership is, the next thing that comes to mind is; who is a leader? This question is a captivating one that requires an open answer in as much as true leadership is concerned.

Ø “A leader is someone who cause people to take effective action” – Howard Hendricks

Ø “A leader is one who guides and develops the activities of others and seeks to provide continual training and direction” – Ted Engstrom

Ø Succinctly, a leader is one:

·        Who knows the way,

·        Goes the way and;

·        Shows the way.

My beloved friends, you too can know the way, go the way and lead or show the way. But, all you need to do is for you to become ‘UNLEARN’ so as to, ‘LEARN’.

PERSISTENCE: THE KEY TO SUCCESS.

PERSISTENCE: THE KEY TO SUCCESS

Success is not a citizen of any nation or tribe. The above phrase is in agreement with the scripture in the book of Ruth 1:16, the account of Ruth and her mother in-law (Naomi).

The above biblical story has really repelled and propelled me as a young man to cultivate the habit of persistence. In the early 2000, when I gained an understanding of the concept, I begin to develop a routine for persistency by maintaining the culture of not taking ‘NO’ for an answer. And this has really helped me to develop principle that has really contributed to my personal development in Leadership and field of endeavours.

        What is persistence if someone may ask? Persistence is one refusing to say or take no for an answer when faced with daunting challenges or crisis.

It could be in Leadership, Management, Academics, Career, and Business and so on. With persistency in place, you can develop the ability and momentum to convince your Clients/Customers or even Business partners in the business world and vice versa.

        Persistence is an essential factor in transmitting desire and passion into its monetary equivalent. And fully a product of desire, plan and action, which is also called the 3P’s according to Calvin Collidge;

*Passion -    Desire

*Purpose-    Specific plan

*Pursuit-      Action

The above 3P’s puts together guarantees prosperity (success) in any field of endeavours.

I.e. Passion + Purpose + Pursuit = Prosperity.

And these 3P’s when paired together, always end up producing wealth and real success.

        It was believed that, 90% of people quit at 90% of accomplishing their goals/objectives according to Thomas Edison a renowned scientist, but reverse is the case in this present time, where it is believed that, 99% of people quit a mere 20% of the way/journey to success.

The reality of life is that, those who persist win, while those who do not loose.

        You must take note; passion and faith are the fuel that produces persistence. Which in turn guarantee one’s success in life? And the gospel truth is, success is not negotiable and winning is not everything but the only thing in life, business and all other field of endeavours.

Persistence; the only force that turns stumbling block into stepping stones on one’s pathway to achieving success and wealth.

        Succinctly, persistence and determination are the omnipotent. This is because, if you fail to persist, you will persist in failing. Persistence produce success, while every man’s success in life is a combination of idea’s fully backed up by energy and persistence

I.e. Success = Ideas + Energy+ Persistence.

Beloved, Success is yours in as much as you can display persistence at its peak.
