The Way I See It

I interrupt my series on 'Running Chronicles' to bring you an inspiring interview with multi-million property owner and surgeon, Dr Titus Odedun. He tells us about his work ethic which took him from being an out-ofs-chool mechanic on the streets of Lagos to becoming a multi-millionaire in the UK.

I discuss how people run really fast and then get tired early. I encourage you to learn to create a pace that suits you. Do not worry about how slow or fast others are going. Life is rarely a sprint, so settle in for a marathon.

Secondly, life can be so busy with so many demands on our time and ourselves. Learn to make space for solitude to think and to grow and to heal.

In this episode I discuss how we must keep running even when it hurts. If the rain cannot stop us doing what needs to be done, then that mindset should mean that problems cannot stop us from pursuing our vision.

I also look at the parable of the talents and how we can liken that to the importance of mentorship and reproducing ourselves in others.

To read my book 'Running Chronicles: Twenty-One Lessons I learned from Running' on which this episode is based, then visit my website to order it at www.nanaoguntola.me or order directly from Amazon.

In this episode I look at how necessary it is for us to keep moving what ever the circumstances we may find ourselves in. We need to run even when it rains.

I also discuss the importance of allowing ourselves to cry when we need to. It is healing for our souls and as humans we need to acknowledge the hurt and pain before we can heal and move on.

We would all like the right tools, the right people, situations, circumstances, the right amount of money to enable us to achieve or pursue our dreams.

Sometimes these are not available. What do you do? Stop and wait till everything is in order or keep running despite it.

This is the theme of this episode of 'The Way I See It'.

In this first episode I discuss chapter one of my book 'Running Chronicles: Twenty-One Lessons I leaned from Running'. The chapter discusses the idea that we inspire people by our actions whether we mean to or not, whether we are concious of it or not. Also we need to be inspired in order to inspire others.
