We are all resourced in our DNA to succeed.  However, it requires a personal optimisation of those resources to arrive at the results we want.  One way to optimise your life for success is to deploy the Law Of Important Things.  Know when to hold on and know when to fold them.

In the lyrics of the Song Gambler by Kenny Rogers; “the secret of surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep, because every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser.” 

You can win if you focus on important things.

“The secret of surviving is knowing what to throw away and knowing what to keep, because every hand is a winner and every hand is a loser.” – Kenny Rogers (Gambler)

Life is full of pressures; there is so much we are expected to do – from the daily hustle and bustle of living to the constant demand of family, academics, business and relationships. How then do we achieve our goals and fulfil our dreams?  One key is to know those things that only you can do in moving your dream forward and if you want to go far you need to focus on them.

When God created us, He gave us free moral agency which is captured in our will and interpreted by the choices and decisions we make.  Despite God's call on his life and his parent's efforts to ensure that they did their best to prepare him for this call and it's fulfillment, Samson's choices and lack of discipline and power of will made it almost impossible for him to achieve all that he had been equipped and called to do.

Sometimes we take ownership and pledge to be good stewards of our dream and purpose yet, find in the end that we don’t do much with the dream.  What could be responsible for this state of lethargy?  How is it even possible that one discovers and takes ownership of a dream and yet isn’t able to deliver on it?  Between our creative genius and productivity is usually a gap that we cross using the bridge of Willpower.

Now that you have discovered why you are on earth are you progressing and achieving the results you had hoped?  If not, what might be the problem?  Between when a dream is discovered and achieved is the phase where you OWN your dream. At this point, the dream no longer is something you work in or at.  It becomes an extension of you. 

Beyond ownership is the issue of Stewardship when you realise that every thing you have been given is an investment and not only is profit required but accountability too.

The proof of ownership at it's highest is production, the proof of stewardship at it's highest is accountability.  Are you producing? If you are, are you accountable?

Quite a number of people are pushing dreams that are not original to them, therefore they get really frustrated. We must realise that even though God gives us dreams, their fulfilment only depend on our working it out.  Every dream takes both a sense of ownership and stewardship to birth. It is not enough for us to have a dream, we must also take responsibility for it and understand that we are accountable to the One who put the dream inside of us – God.

Is your dream original to you? Have you taken ownership of it? Do you have the commitment required to birth it? Do you also realise that you are accountable to someone greater than you for it?

Join me as I examine  stewardship and ownership and how every dreamer needs to take ownership and be a steward of what’s been committed into his hand. (more…)

Are you of the school of thought that some of us are more opportune than others?  Do you see life as pre-ordained or something that we live by chance?

Most of us have heard about Olajumoke Orisaguna; the bread hawker turned Model and Dr Innocent Chukwuma, the Managing Director of Innoson Group of Companies, manufacturers of the IVM brand of vehicles.

What can we learn from their stories, how can we lead ourselves into our own places of success using their stories.  If I had the opportunity to sit with Ms Olajumoke today, what will I say to her and by extension you?

To be able to deliver at the best level of our lives, one of the things we must seek to know is God’s original intent for us. What was God thinking when He was forming you? Even though we may chance upon success once in a while, most people who make it to destiny or fulfill God’s mandate for their lives are those who discover their original intent and deliberately go after it.

God is our Creator and he has a manual for why he’s created each and everyone of us. He’s given everyone equal opportunities, depending on what He’s called us to be and do. We may not have the same status, level of education or background, but we’ve been gifted with something in our individual DNAs that will help us actualise God’s dream for us. (more…)

“The whole world is a narrow bridge. The important thing is to have no fear”. Hasidic Master Rabbi Nachman of Breslov

Have you ever set a big goal then you suddenly became afraid or start to doubt if you could really achieve it? I have been there several times. Whether we like it or not, fear is a part of life and its only objective is to cripple and stop us from achieving our desired goals. We have the choice to either allow it hold us down or spur us to succeed.

For most of us, fear presents differently and can be difficult to discern.  Do you know how your fear presents?

Fear is a clear and present danger to every goal and the journey to destiny. Whether in business or in our daily lives, there comes a time when we need to decide to continue or go beyond our fears regardless of what we think might happen. Amazingly, most of the time, we are stronger than we think we are and what is before us isn’t as difficult as it seems. (more…)

Now that your goals are set, what is stopping you?  I find that fear is a great challenge for most of us and this fear manifests differently in different people.  You may not even realise that the manifestation is a fear issue until you probably listen to this.

Do not let fear stop you, find out how it presents for you and take care of it so you can move forward.
