OVERCOMING CRISES in life and leadership

OVERCOMING CRISES in life and leadership.. 🌐
➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖

No matter how bleak and  blur our nation is right now, and no matter how uncertain the future is, YOU and I HOLD THE KEY to making a progress in life and turning things around for our nation. The poverty in this era is not the lack of natural resources, rather the lack of responsible and wise Leaders who will effectively utilize the human resources and make a positive impact in society. The general needs of the masses are ignored, whereas the priorities of the few rich are imposed on the society.  The principle is, "when you put your trust in men, you will be doomed" just as the Bible clearly states. Men do not value you because they did not create you. Only God values you more than anything else cos he created you and sent you on a mission here on earth.

Undoubtedly, they do not even notice the availability of unlimited, skillful and unique human resources. They only foresee nice and gargantuan edifices and infrastructures in society. Tell me, what hope is left in a family when the Father chooses to invest all money in building houses and structures when the entire welfare of the kids have been abandoned; no schooling, no feeding, no love. We eat to live but we are not alive to eat, we are alive to learn and make life right. Let's learn from the errors of today's leaders and make our resolutions clear. For whatever you tolerate, you cannot change; if you tolerate their errors, you will keep repeating them. But if you don't, the errors will be unstayed and the future will be bright.

The truth is the "world" (controlling systems) will treat you as if you never existed, yet when you discover your potentials, skills, talents and purpose, you will become their number one priority. They will either chase you to break you, or chase you to MAKE you. The principle is, 'no one really knows what you are capable of doing until you have found out yourself'..

Forget the world and it's devilish systems and FOCUS on who God made you and what he gave you. The real you cannot be determined by anyone else other than you; do not follow the crowd (friends, society, media, etc), stand distinct even if you stand alone. When the REAL YOU IS noticed, you will be a toastmaster. Work hard on yourself, spend time alone with God and know that if you do not do what you must do, an entire generation suffers. But when you do not do it well too, an entire generation becomes the more confused. Discover yourself and be the light of the world.

Self discovery

SELF DISCOVERY... Part 2

Dedication: To a friend, Helen kpobi, whom I gave an exercise to undertake in DISCOVERING her true purpose in life. Now I'm pretty sure her determination to achieve her dreams is unlimited.

For the records, discovery means "the act of uncovering or revealing something". Therefore, self discovery is the act of uncovering or revealing the real identity, potentials and purpose of a person. Where there is no self discovery, there is always self doubt; and where there is self discovery, there is always self confidence and self induced focus.

In my quest for self discovery, I have attended numerous diverse seminars, read several books and articles, listened to different speakers with their diverse views on self discovery, and then finally I undertook one special exercise before realising my true potential, my purpose, my duties, and my freedom as an individual.
Conforming to the views of many speakers, folks will actually be confounded as to what exactly to do, what not to do, and how to do it. Myriads of people will end up majoring in the minor simply because they tried applying some philosophies prescribed to them as the solutions to self discovery.

Let us critically and sincerely follow, and answer the subsequent analogies; 
Should in case my "Apple" i-phone develop a fault, which Mobile brand shop do I have to send it for repairs or fixing?
When your apple Laptop gets damaged, will you send it to an "HP" laptop dealers for repairs? Or when you need detailed Information concerning the functionality of a Mercedes Benz car, do you approach the Henry Ford car company for that? I presume the answer is no.
I recently asked a friend to stay awake during her free time at about 10pm to 12am. This request I made prior to a chat I had with her earlier. I had realized that as talented as she is, she still did not know what exactly she wanted to do in life. She wasn't sure why she was alive and what really she has to offer to make a meaning and a living out of her life. Probably, she might end up experimenting with her life in many things which might take her off track.
I wrote a quote which reads, " a time wasted, is a life wasted". Why? Because any success or failure, achievements or struggles, and the likes in the Human life is all quantified in TIME. Whatever you do with your time today, reflects what you become tomorrow. Therefore asking my friend to stay awake around that time is a habit we all must cultivate for a genuine self discovery. We get so much busy in the day chasing after the wind, following the crowd, conforming to the status-quo, fitting in and impressing people so much so that we forget all about ourselves and what our purpose and mission is in life.

As concluded in the above analogies; if we would go to the respective brand companies for repairs and solutions or informations concerning their products, then where must the human being (you and I) approach to seek for more details and solutions concerning our lives (self discovery) and repairs?    So far as no scientist, psychologist, philosopher, or any other creature can claim the creation of the human species to their credit, I would rather approach the creator for all I need. For it is HE who said "even before I was a blood cloth in my mother's womb, he knew me". (Holy Bible) I actually asked her to stay awake during that time so she can have a meeting with her inner self, with God her creator and her source of life. She needs time to ask God why she is alive? What is her purpose.

Simply put, I asked my friend to spend that 2hours meditating on the word of God, commune with God, seek God and request of him why he created her. What was her work on earth, what does she have to offer humanity that made necessary to be alive till now.

Surprisingly enough, following your passion alone to discover yourself as most people have come to accept, is a crude way of discovering your purpose. It will only lead you to the immediate but not the ultimate; and when you lose focus of the ultimate, you only become a slave to the immediate. Know your source, accept your source and approach your source for your REAL identity. Just as you would get all the information you need concerning the functionality and content of an iPhone from the Apple factory, same way you would get all the information concerning your content (potentials, skills) and your functionality (purpose) from God alone. Go before God in humility so you can stand before men in confidence to be a blessing unto them.

Thank you for reading, God bless you and reveal to you who you are and how you can impact the world around you..!!

Watch out for the final part of self discovery(part 3). Always remember that what you have is meant for the whole world, it is a global assignment.

Why am I me? Why are you YOU?

WHY AM I ME? WHY ARE YOU YOU?

Your are the  first and only of your kind.. Yes! You may have many things in common with many folks, yet what makes you "YOU" is what made you necessary to be moulded by God...(not scientists and their sciences nor philosophers and their philosophies).... For they say you are alive simply to survive - "born to survive" and to make a living.. But God said, " before you were in your mother's womb, he knew you", and that HIS THOUGHT OF YOU is to prosper you and to give you an "EXPECTED" END.. God was just clear on your PURPOSE, assignment, and mission here on earth before he created you.

Simply put, your PURPOSE for LIVING can not be politically proven, biologically proven, scientifically proven, philosophically proven, nor socially proven as many think. Yet, it is biblically PROVEN. it is up to YOU to choose(gift of freewill) what you believe, who you believe, and WHY you believe WHO you believe for your desired life.

The "world"(controlling systems) is good at making you become who you are not supposed to be; distractions are imminent, serious challenges and difficulties, unnecessary opportunities, undue influences and enticing dangers aimed at leading you astray.. But; SELF DISCOVERY, FOCUS in life and the unending Grace of God does the " MAGIC".... Just know your source, your PURPOSE, and the expected end will surely be made manifest when you take the appropriate steps...

Be smart and conform not to the world and it's enticing systems which only gives you a life of regrets. For the systems of this world is a blindfold to all men; if you do not see it so, you will never realize it. This is why you can not CHANGE what you always tolerate. Be transformed by the renewing of your minds. For you cannot live beyond or below your thoughts, which is why you need to condition your thoughts for effective living. If only you will think it, you will believe it; and when you believe it, you will live it. Exercise your brain muscles and let the world around you feel it's IMPACT.

Lifetime discovery: YOU CAN ONLY BE AN AGENT OF CHANGE or A VICTIM OF CHANGE.. Which one are you?

Real life

MY RECENT DISCOVERY...
I just realized that most folks spend their ENTIRE LIVES preparing for JOBS, and only a handful spend their time preparing FOR LIFE ITSELF... WHY?
cos life isn't just about JOBS, and job is not the only reason for LIVING..
Sometimes the only job we need to do is to discover and to develop ourselves, to change and transform the already messed up society, than following the masses into JOBS. This is the spirit of a TRUE LEADER...
