GAMECHANGER

One of the biggest challenges of our generation is knowing what our purpose is and how to achieve our dreams.   I have seen other people who do not have a clear path of what they would do if they won a million dollars. People who procrastinate and are always anxious because they are not sure of the future. One day you are excited about this new idea you’re pursuing and the next day you’re not sure if it is what you want.  Your life goes in phases that come and end as fast as a flame on a matchstick. First there is the ‘I need to buy land phase’, then comes the ‘I need to start saving phase’ and today you’re on the ‘I need to start a business’ phase and the cycle never ends. I’ve heard people say that you are always in the path that God wants you to be and I am beginning to believe this   Why? Because if this is where He wants me to be, i am happy doing what i love doing best   I have seen many of our parents live their lives in simplicity and medio...

To increase your personal success, you need to actively take control of managing your personal brand For a long time, branding was only associated with businesses and companies. But in the current world, especially with the myriad of online social platforms, personal branding has become just as important. What is personal branding? In simple terms, it is making yourself stand out from the crowd to showcase your uniqueness. It involves how you manage others’ perceptions of you and influence how they think of you. Having a strong, vibrant and clear personal brand is something you need to actively cultivate in your quest for personal success. Effective personal branding has played a very big part in the accomplishments of the world’s most successful people such as Oprah Winfrey, Michael Jordan, Bill Gates, Richard Branson and many others. Many people are not conscious of the fact that they have a brand, hence they don’t put much effort in managing and positioning it strategically and e...

This morning I was reading a book as I was javing to work today   “rich dad poor dad my favorite books of all time So I started thinking about my life, some of the things I have   done and those I wish I knew earlier, and I began imagining all of the things I wish someone had told me when I was 18. Then I took it a step further and thought about all the things I would love to tell myself if I could travel back in time to give my 18-year-old self some advice about life. So after a couple of hours of deliberation, here are 18 things I wish someone told me when I was 18: Commit yourself to making lots of mistakes.   Mistakes teach you important.  The biggest mistake you can make is doing nothing because you’re too scared to make a mistake.  So don’t hesitate don’t doubt yourself.  In life, it’s rarely about getting a chance; it’s about taking a chance.  You’ll never be 100% sure it will work, but you can always be 100% sur...

DESTINED FOR DISTICTION Have you ever imagined a blind person that sees? how annoying is it when they beg on the street yet they have clear vision? strangely is when they can even tell you in the face," hallo, the note you have just generously given is invalid" a word politely used for fake currency. AM A BRAND ON MY OWN when I was growing up, I was literally "blind" and could not tell between past, current and future. after undergoing through powerful mind medication, I gained my sight and could clearly see life as it should be. Fear veiled my sight and is the case with 90% of people looking forward to be successful. Research has shown and proved fear as dreadful as Ebola, the rare viral disease that scares even the 'called and set apart'. My dream for success IS SOO articulated, visioned, customized and mastered in brain. Being torn between heart and mind is a very dangerous state and religious philosophers if I call them at times mislead thei...

To be a mother is not an easy task,  Yet you do it proudly everyday no matter what is asked. You have turned your baby into a beautiful young lady. You were there for me since the very beginning and saved me countless tears. The pushy and wise advice you gave will carry me through the years. With my every mistake or wrongful deed, you were always there to understand. You put no limits on my dreams or anything else I wish to do. You never forget to say you care or that you love me to. The smile and tears upon your face when I achieve provides me with more value in my heart then you'd ever believe. There is no other person that will shape my heart the way you've done, your job finished perfectly for your precious daughters and son. We have had a rocky road through triumph and catastrophe, hard time and despair, but not a single moment of time of not having a wonderful mother there. You have always put in your last with love and my whole life is not enough time...

Dad’s influence in his teenage daughter’s life shapes her self esteem, personal image, confidence and also her opinion on the type of men she associates herself with. While growing up, for all young girls, dad is the first male figure in her life. He and mom are everything; they become a child’s first world. If by any chance, that relationship between a father and a daughter is strained at an early age, well it could take a lifetime of many internal struggles and very many challenges with the opposite sex. Young teenage girls who grow up with positive relationships with their fathers (mothers inclusive) tend to be more confident, they choose appropriate partners in their lives and also become quite selective about their choice of friends and especially those who they interact with closely. The young girls tend to respond to situations in emotionally healthy ways and end up having meaningful relationships with both boys and girls. What really matters is while at that early relati...

I had to say goodbye to someone. You know I hate goodbyes, so I struggled with what I needed to say to him. But at the same time I discovered something special about how I feel about people and myself.  The following is taken, in part, from the note I just emailed to him: 'It's the thing about caring for people. They get into your life, sometimes briefly, and manage to become a part of who you are. Not all people, but those special individuals who arrive unexpectedly and linger there. How does it happen?   They are the ones who, the first time you meet them, touch you in such a way that they leave an imprint on your heart. They are the people you look for and hope to meet along the way. They make the journey easier. Some become close friends and share everyday happenings in your life. Others just pass through leaving behind bits and pieces of who they are. Then there are those who are always there, but off in the distance somewhere within reach whenever you ne...
