The Future Belongs To You

Being the best version of yourself is all it takes to make your life great. Why are you trying so hard to fit in when you already stand out?

Whatever it is you've learnt from the valley part of your life, why not take to the mountain top and resolve to living each day being the best you can ever be. 

You know, you don't have to figure it all out to move forward. Endeavor to put aside your fear and worries, and whatever setbacks you may have encountered in the past that's been limiting your progress and the will to fight and start rebuilding.

Regardless of what happens in the long run, remember that true happiness begins to arrive only when you stop complaining about your problems and you start being grateful for all the problems you don't have.

The future they say belongs to those with big ideas, thoughts and dreams but I say it also belongs to those who are ready to forgive their past, make peace with their present situation and embrace the future. 

Getting ahead in life basically involves hard work and perseverance, as well as a willingness to take risks and learn from failure. 

No doubt you have failed, but it's time to pick yourself up and start rebuilding. Winning begins with your attitude and it starts with the decision to try again. God bless!

Joy Comes In The Morning

There may be no room for God in your heart but in my heart I know He will not abandon us. 

I know it's been tough but if you give up now despite all the pain and suffering you've been through in the past years, you will not have God to blame but yourself. 

Yeah, no doubt you’ve come a long way, crossed the deserts, ocean, mountains and seen things few men have seen.

But there comes a time you'll sit in the convenience of your home, drinking wine, rejoicing and telling tales few men have lived to tell. 

You know, Although the former state is ordinary but the future will be extraordinary.

Just keep the hope alive and re-ignite the fire within that keeps that desire burning, for there's always light at the end of the tunnel. 

God said it, I believe it, and that settles it.... You should too!

Declaration Of Faith 

Oh Lord, my God, never do I want to be caught operating in the flesh, let my decisions be influenced by you. I want to work and walk by you, with you, for you and through you. 

I pray this day that you give me the strength to hold on to your promises and be able to fight till the end. And as I declare your goodness upon my life and my entire household, let us begin to appropriate your blessings in full. Amen!

Dare To Take The Risk?

 Despite been self-convicted, knowing without an atom of doubt that they are no longer at peace working and making others rich, many are still afraid to quit their day job and resolve to starting up as an entrepreneur in pursuit of their own dream because they think it's too risky and would be a foolish thing to abandon a bird at hand for a million others in an uncertain reality. 

Yes, true… But then, the biggest risk in life I believe is not taking a risk. And according to Robert T. Kiyosaki, risk is diminished if you love what the investment is, understand it and know the game. 

If so, rather than moving with the crowd and allowing them tell you what you can and cannot do, thus depriving yourself a possible reality of success and financial independence, knowing you have all it takes inside of you that has been advocating for a change far too long and wouldn't have to rely on a paycheck to get by anymore, why not pick up and read some books, sign up for seminars that would help broaden your horizon, and even take a step further to talk to professionals in your chosen field on a one on one basis if you have to. 

Whatever it takes, just make sure you do it. You can't allow yourself to be a slave to fear no more. It is meant to be chased and made a reality, that's why it's called a dream. You can live for the rest of your life knowing that you tried and failed but you'll never be able to live a day knowing that you could but didn't, wondering what could have been. 

Take the chance, it's worth it.

A Step Towards Financial Independence

 The first step they say to finding the solution is to know the problem. If so, don't work for money, make money work for you and you'll be on your way to gaining financial independence.

You know, sometime earlier in the year I read a book which opened my eyes to some of the problems that make people struggle financially and according to the author, what differentiates the rich from the poor is financial literacy. 

Many people today make money just so they can spend it all out again. But if you know how this circle works, you'll no longer be a slave to it. 

To this end, I admonish...

Stop enriching others while you drown in your own pool of debt. Become your own boss and it starts with fueling your passion and walking towards actualizing that dream.

Invest your resources and time into it, for I believe we cannot totally commit ourselves to something we are not financially committed to. 

By then, every penny that has gone into it automatically becomes your employee. And the good thing about money is that it works 24 hours a day and can work for generations, without asking for a paycheck I must add, Lol.

Killers Of Our Destiny

Waking up every day with a dream and an empty pocket on your Jean may seem to be the easiest thing for you to do these days but the more they try to frustrate your effort in the fulfillment of your dreams, the more ruthless and determined you should be to achieving them. 

It is a wicked world out there and no matter how much work that's put into making sure your set goals and life aspirations come true, there are people who are set out to nullify every of those endeavors and would rather make you seem lazy, lost and out of place. 

The truth is, I never use to believe in spiritual warfare but it’s real, trust me and only God can ultimately save us from the killers of our destiny. 

With that said, what makes it worse and heartbreaking is the fact that we run to our pastors, prophets and spiritual leaders in general for some kind of safety and comfort and sadly but often true, they are actually the vessels to which these evil plots are carried out. 

Funny enough, initially it seemed pretty hard for me to come in terms with this fact because I couldn't just place my hands on why a man of God would stoop so low into allowing himself to be used by the same people he was ordained to preach and wrestle against in the first place. 

However, it is beginning to make perfect sense to me, what the scripture was trying to say in the book of Isaiah 9:15-16 and guess at this point, it's safe to say that the church can be most persuasive but my vow is to God, not to the man who murder in His name. 

To this end, I conclude by advocating that we begin to love and serve the God of man and not the man of God. Fear Him, believe in His deliverance, keep pushing and most importantly, let nothing and no one stop you from reaching out and fulfilling your dreams.

Winning Begins With Our Attitude, Get A Clue

You may seem devastated and out of luck when you find yourself at a crossroad where nothing seems forthcoming and it just feels like you're taking a step forward and ten steps back. Life has its ways of breaking a man and squeezing the motivation out of him, but what makes it beautiful despite the shortcomings and frustration you dine with every day, is the fact that you've already been able to win the war in your mind, having concluded that nothing will ever make you give up on getting to that desired destination. 

At this point, letting go of the fight feels much a harder fit to achieve and will rather keep pushing against all odds and that for me is the definition of a glorious man. God never said it will be easy, He only guaranteed us that He'll always be there with us through the storm. The truth is, if it came easy, we wouldn’t really appreciate its worth and when you're a major project of God's, be rest assured that you won't only go through the storm but will almost get drown in it and when the tides no longer frightens you, He comes to the rescue, knowing fully well that you're ready to swim its banks, and that my friend, is the kind of soldiers the Lord is in the business of making. 

Instead of whiling up in self-pity and engaging in demoralizing thoughts, why not begin to learn the lessons of life that the storms bring your way and put it upon yourself to know and understand what it is actually preparing you for, because only then can you qualify for the glory ahead. As hard as it may seem to comprehend but the truth still remains that there can never be a glory without a story. Apparently, the depth of your struggles will determine the height of your success. And you know, Sam Adeyemi often says that we cannot rise beyond the quality of our thoughts, which makes perfect sense to me by the way because it all begins in our mind. Basically, if you can think it, you can fake it and better still, live it. So braise up and start living the dream that starts within you.

Luckily enough, I believe you've been racing on the right track and it won't be too long before you arrive at the finish line if you find yourself fitting in the same shoe as I was writing this piece, because it only shows that you haven't given up on your dream and will give all it takes to making them come true. Basically, the only thing I believe that kept you this far is your attitude, that ever burning desire not to give up, because every other thing I must add, plays second fiddle to that. Without the right attitude, our passion, dream and hopes for the future dies and get buried right before our own very eyes long before life itself comes along to strangle the living day out of us. 

"There is no dream too big for you, winning begins with your attitude. Get your mind right and faith it till you make it. Hustle Hard, Hustle Right and Hustle God", I believe those are words of Toke Makinwa, the bestselling author of "On Becoming" and you can make them yours today. I know how frustrating life can get when you find yourself pitching the ball from the wrong side of the line. But remember, when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. It is not over till you win. Inherit a more aggressive mindset by studying the word, reading great books written by great minds and above all, looking to the mirror not to see who you are but who you want to be. God bless !
