What’s inside of you

Good morning friends, it’s another week of possibilities and achievements.

Quite some time, Ive been rather engaged with so much work could not do any post for some days now.Anyway, its a new week, something must come out today to help your life.You must be a better person this week, your decision must be more accurate and the resultant effect must bring joy and fulfilment to you.

Whats inside of you

It could be a defining week, a defining moment for you.

Fate is said to determine who your parents are, the rest is left you. You can’t decide who your parents are but all other things depend on you. After all you’re responsible for that course you read in school, you’re in oceanic bank by choice.

I read this piece some evenings ago and I feel it should spur us to reflect and make the most of the present.

“On the streets of New York city, there was a balloon salesman. He was a very good sales man. When the balloon business went down a bit, he would let one of his red balloons go up and this would attract the attention of people in the vicinity .In few minutes the sales will increase and business picked up.

Then a little later when it slowed down again, he will let a blue balloon go up and the same results followed(increased sales).In a few minutes he let go a yellow balloon go up and the same thing happened.

However, a black African boy walked up to him and said” Sir, if you let one of those black balloons go, would it go up? With wisdom the salesman answered the boy, he said “son, its what’s inside these balloon that makes them go up, not their colour.'

So it is with us—its what’s inside of us that determines whether we stand still or whether we rise life. Not the colour of your skin, but the content of your character.

My rising in life is a function of…… i.e. rise in life=f(x,y,x,p…)

X= attitude
Y=thoughts
Z=priorities
P=choices

The quality of these factors inside of us determines how high we can fly in this life.

It’s left to you.

Make the most o your life today with whats inside of you

Take charge

Focus




Morning to you friends

Just gettting to work, its another wednesday morning.Thinking on how I can be of positive use to someone today.How can someone be better today, How can people achieve their aims and objectives.Surely, there are no all in all ways to do that.

Started checking up thoughts that i have written down, thoughts that have influenced my life positively and eureka, I found it.Focus.Enjoy


The power of a laser beam is in its focus, the human mind has been created to succeed the most in ventures that attracts our focus.

One of the major reasons for failure in any venture is broken focus.

No one is ever lost on a straight road (imagine).

The influence of anything in your life is determined primarily by the amount of focus you give to it. Your focus can make things bigger or smaller, depending on its direction and intensity.

Have you ever been so totally engrossed by some little things that you completely forgot about everything else for a moment? It can indeed be startling when you experience the raw power of your own focus.

And you can choose at any time to put that power to use. By directing your focus, you can positively affect every corner of your life.

What things would you like to make more abundant in your world? Focus the energy of your thoughts on them and they will grow.

After all, the thoughts in your life are much more important than the things in your life.

Have you been disappointed, slighted, frustrated, angered or insulted? Point your focus toward the positive, fulfilling possibilities and you'll quickly put the negativity behind you.

Focus can get you moving forward with a powerful, nearly unstoppable momentum. Focus on the world you would most like to see, and with the power of focus you will make it appear.

So what do you desire most in this season of your life? Focus on its reality and sooner than you expect you will experience the reality.

Even Jesus said, IF YOUR EYES ARE SINGLE(Focused), your whole life will be full of light.

Today matters

One of the greatest mysteries of mankind is our concern for the future while taking light of our present

If I may ask you
What are your future desires
Where do you want to be in the next 5-10 years
How financially buoyant do you want to be in 3 years time
How do you see yourself at age 45-50
I am sure we’ve got a lot to say. Good

But if I ask, tell me 10 things you’re constructively doing today that is gradually making that future a reality.

The way you live today impacts your tomorrow. Its late for yesterday and you cant depend on tomorrow.

Live today like it matters. Because it does.
There are people you'll never even know who will be influenced by what you do today. So give this day your attention, your love, your very best.

There are ways that you cannot now imagine in which your own life will be influenced by the way you live this day. So live it with integrity, enthusiasm and an eye for the positive possibilities.

The world in which you live will be affected by the way you make use of this day. So fill your moments with thankfulness, imagination and joy.

Today matters, and right now you have the chance to make it matter in a most positive and fulfilling way. Today is the day when your life is lived, and many things in your life will be determined by what you do with today.

If you take this whole day for granted, it will leave you with nothing but regret. Yet it does not have to be that way. Live today like it matters, for now is when you truly can.

The only adequate preparation for tomorrow is the right use of today.

Be a better person.

Select your direction

Your destination depends not on where you are but on which way you go. Your result depends not on what has happened, and not on what you have, but on what you do with it all.

From here, you can go anywhere. There are pathways leading in every direction

What matters now is which of those pathways you choose. What matters now is the next step you take.

Give yourself permission to decide what you truly desire for your life and for your world. And know that there is a way , right now, to begin creating it.

When your thoughts and actions have a clear, specific purpose, each moment will carry you closer to the fulfillment of that purpose. When you move consistently in a chosen direction, you cant help but reach the destination you choose.

Lovingly, thoughtfully and carefully select your direction today. You are always moving towards something consciously or unconsciously, so make that something exactly what you wish.

Never leave your life direction to chance.

The greatest thing in this world is not so much where we are, but which direction we are going.

In life, its so good to be on the flying mode, but if you cant fly then run. If you can’t run, then walk. If you now can’t walk, then crawl.

Worst case, make progress.

God bless

What are you doing now?


Yes, I ask, what are you doing now in preparation for the future? Most of us if not all desires a great future. Wants to be rich, wealthy, healthy, influential, comfortable, financially independent, the list is endless.

One truth stand out, wishes are not enough to experience these beauties of life. No one ever achieved these things without earning them. Earning is the word I choose to use. Earning is a product of work done.

What work are you doing today to enjoy these beauties in the nearest future? We leave most of the things in our lives to chance, one day one day I hope I will be this and that. Wake up friends, it will never happen. Smell a coffee, shine your eyes.

Recession, recession, every where. Bail out plans everywhere. I wont be surprised if some erudite start delivering lectures on how to have a successful bail out , just like those years of mergers and acquisition.

What am I driving at, take your destiny in your hands.Contrary winds will always blow in this life of ours. If you know where you are going, all you need do is alter your sail to favour your destination. But what of if you don’t even know where you’re going, then you will need a BAIL OUT.

This is my bail out plan. Plan ahead, anticipate untoward circumstances, they will surely come and I can bet 99%, it will be unannounced.

Noah built the ark before the flood waters came. Are you building your ark now before the flood waters come? Your financial ark, health ark, relationship ark, integrity ark, intellectual ark, academic ark etc.

If a man takes no thought of the distant future, he will soon find sorrow very near. We have got only one life, and this is it.

Yesterday is a TOMB, Tomorrow is a WOMB, and today is reality. You’ve got influence over today.

Five years from now, I congratulate you in advance for what you would have been responsible for—the outcomes of you life.
