  • You are not a MISTAKE (Failure)

    You are not a MISTAKE.

    Did I just hear you whispers yessss?

    Know this…it is a fact. You are not a mistake, or is it failure?

    …whatever you want to call it.

    The fact that everything aren’t yet in order as expected doesn’t mean you should berate yourself.

    You are not a failure…you are just testing the microphone of your life; rehearsing your greatness acceptance speech.

    Just imagine how it would feel like to finally become the person you’ve always wished/wanted to be…you are going to feel on top of the world, right?

    Nothing else would matter at that very moment because you are looking success in the face 😳😳😳

    At this kind of moment, you are confident of trying again because you are so sure of the outcome; success.

    That’s the spirit of high flyers…

    But, to reach those milestones you have set for yourself, or those ones that were set by your superior or colleagues, there are some gallops to get over.

    Those trying times that makes you want to question your existence.

    Due to pain of the moment, You might want to quickly forego and forget your WHY (reasons and motivations) for embarking on the journey in the first place.

    I call such moment Your Life Drama Moment.

    When life drama takes its toll on you, the storyline can change instantly. Disregard, disrespect, discourage, and many other DISs of life can sufface in such moment.

    Should you be concerned or weary? Yes and No.

    Be concerned about building/maintaining a thick skin to wade the war against the challenge but don’t be afraid of it by losing your sense of purpose up to the level of challenging your fundamental principles of existence.

    You are not a failure…that you are born poor doesn’t mean you have no hope of a brighter tomorrow…you are not a mistake.

    My friend, I have a good news for you!

    You are getting close to achieving those things you have, or almost, given up on, I’m certain and sure of that. You don’t need to let the situations around you drain out your motivation from going forward.

    When life drama happens, treat it like a movie that always has the positive endings. No matter how interesting and long the movie can be, it will maximally come to an end approximately 120 minutes (2 hours).

    That is the take home wisdom…”tough times never last but tougher people do“.

    Life drama shouldn’t make you soft, become tougher for your challenges.

    You are not a MISTAKE.

    PS: A while ago, I wrote a touching story about my own life drama that I think you might want to read through. Maybe something from it can inspire your spirit being. https://olawaledaniel.com/31-days-gratitude-challenge/

  • The Foolishness of Idle Resources – Olufemi Olumide

    It was my first free Saturday in weeks, With over 70 webinar consulting sessions within the past 2 months as well as other outbound training sessions, I decided my Saturday would be for sleep, premiership catch up and laundry.

    While sorting some clothes I had not worn in a while, I had that incling to search the pockets.

    Interestingly, the first pocket I dipped my hand into had some cash probably left there for a few weeks. After counting, the total amount came to N10,300.

    Hmmmm I said to myself, “but I can’t remember when I left this money here. Interestingly, I can’t still remember. Right then it dawned on me that I had wasted an opportunity to invest loose resources. I asked myself how many people out there had a stash of cash doing nothing for them? .

    I soon realised that we could actually make better use of our resources. Some of us have items in our possession that needs to go on rental, cars in our yards that need to go on Uber or Bolt, land that can grow plantain while we save up for the development. .

    What resources do you have that has remained unused? We stay foolish when we remain like the guy who hid his investment in the parable of the talent.

    It’s another Monday morning…I challenge you to put that abandoned resource to use. Its another Monday morning..

  • Helped Myself Changed My Perspective of Me!

    Helped Myself Changed My Perspective of Me!

    I helped MEself changed my perspective of Me!

    I strongly believe you could do the same.

    Stop doubting yourself, you can actually step up tall and do greater things.

    Irrespective your circumstances, you can bounce back and reclaim what is yours.

    Help yourself change your own perception of You.

    You are rare, you can do virtually anything you set your mind to achieve.

    You can go anywhere, you can drive your dream car, live in your dream home even this year.

    No limit, except those ones you personally and intentionally created for yourself.

    It is set time to get out of that old belief system in You because #YOUcan actually get up again.

    Don’t stay too low for long.

    Help yourself change You.

    I did helped Me change the way I see me and it has changed my life direction since.

    I think I deserve some accolades…so, do you!

    See you at the top.

  • Winning Word – Overcoming The Seed Destroyers

    Today we are going to be talking about overcoming seed destroyers.

    In 2 Chronicles 22:10, when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah.

    The enemy target your seed to stop your potential harvest.

    When Athaliah saw that she has lose her seed she rose to destroy other people’s seed.

    Whoever that has lost his/her seed running after your seed will collapse and fall in the name of Jesus because this set of seed destroyers are the worst but they will fail and fail woefully over your seed. (Amen)

    Most times many don’t understand the power of their seed and the reason why the enemy is after their seed.

    What is a seed?

    Your potential is a seed. Your vision is a seed. Your children are seeds. Your money is a seed. The word of God is a seed. Your time is a seed. Your wife is a seed.

    Never allow seed destroyers to destroy your seed because they are always after it because they can’t produce their own seed and they can foresee the great harvest in the future.

    Satan from his day of fall has been stolen the seeds God deposited in people because he can’t produce his own seed.

    The secret to save your seed from the seed destroyers is to hide yourself in the Lord that’s why the only surviving seed during Athaliah’s reign was hid in the house of God for six years 2 Chronicles 22:12.

    Prayers Against Seed Destroyers

    1. Thanks you lord for the power of your word

    2. You seed destroyer, you are liar my seeds are covered by the blood of Jesus

    3. No weapon fashioned against my seed shall prosper in Jesus Name

    4. Lord give me the power to overcome every evil war waged against my seed because of its potential great harvest.

  • Being Jobless for a Purpose: Evolve With Time, Long-term, Think SYSTEM

    Being Jobless for a Purpose: Evolve With Time, Long-term, Think SYSTEM

    Happy new week. Do you have enough money?

    This is my candid advice for you as you start your activities for the new week. Be conscious of the fact that our world is changing everyday (it is evolving at an extremely high rate). Technology is reducing manpower every minute, I wrote about this awhile ago. My post on the factory of the future was well received after it was published.

    Truth is, jobs are being lost every moment without prior notice.

    Should you be worried? Yes and No.

    Yes, if you have no plan B. When you have just one source of income, you need to worry about change in job economy.

    However, if you are not dependent on a boss before your family could eat or live through this life, then the second option could appeal to you.

    If you really love your children, get a business, not a job. Why?

    When you die, your children cannot inherit or take over your job, but they can definitely inherit and continue your business from where you stopped. And the most painful thing is, if you die on the job, your boss might or will replace you before your burial rights.

    Do you know why?

    The business must continue. A space must not be empty for days. Someone, somewhere must occupy the space for the business processes to continue.

    And another heartbreaking revelation is, that luxurious tear-rubber company custom made car you drive around like a king would be retrieved immediately. If your family live in the company house, they will kick them out before they could have the courage to say anything otherwise.

    So, what would now become the gain of all those 9 to 5 efforts of yours?

    It is wildly believed that JOB stands for:

    Just

    Obeying the

    Boss

    or the other way round;

    Journey

    Of the

    BROKEs.

    Different people would have different meaning and perspectives to the definition above. But that doesn’t mean that is the general belief. It is up to your definition and the life drama you are currently experiencing.

    So, what’s the way forward from here?

    It is time to think business even while you are still under employment. Think partnership even when your business is not doing well as expected. Think leverage against the times your strengths would fail. Think about putting in 10% effort to get 100% result without defrauding others or depriving them of anything. Think long term financial freedom strategy and most importantly, think SYSTEM!

    Remember that having a working systematic approach to wealth creation relieves you of the pain of working your ass off for peanuts.

    I will see you on the other side where success is sure. To wrap it all, be jobless for a purpose, think about your long-term financial goals and most importantly, think SYSTEM. Evolve with time and be true to yourself.

  • Payments And Pains By Tope Fabusola

    Payments And Pains By Tope Fabusola

    Everything has a price.

    Everything.

    This is an undeniable truth.

    Nothing is ever really free.

    One way or another, everything was fully paid for.

    And that brings us here…

    What are your dues, and how are you paying?

    You see, everyone pays. It doesn’t matter who you are or where you are from.

    The privilege you enjoy or the prejudice you endure has little to do with this.

    The universe demands her rent every day. And, like it or not, we all pay.

    Of course, how we pay may differ. WHEN we pay may vary.

    You may pay with your time, your money, your energy, or your leverage.

    You may also pay now, in installments, or pay later.

    And that brings us to this.

    Everyone pays… And everyone goes through pains.

    But no one chooses for you — not even the universe.

    Whether you embrace the pain of discipline today, or the pain of regret tomorrow, it’s all up to you.

    Here is a plan

    Dream as big as you want;
    Design your preferred pain;
    Decide on your payment plan.

    Or wait…

    Decline today and wait till tomorrow.

    Whatever your choice, in due time, we all pay.

    No one graduates here with their debts unpaid.

    The universe, you see, is a strict head teacher.

    Pay your dues!

    Choose your pain!
