THE ASSIGNMENT

Taking a review at how 2018 has dealt with me, I realized that there are certain events that just happen to you in life and leave you maddened. The defense that you might have is the quality of relationships and mindset you have built over time, which at times is not enough. I say this, for I know these moments are frustrating; they leave you questioning the validity of your existence, actions, and sanity; which can leave you broken psychologically, financially, emotionally, and spiritually. Randy Paush "You can't control the cards you are dealt with, but just how you play the hand", we do not have 100% immunity and can't always control some of these experiences that shake us. But this I have learned, you have the power to decide to Unwind 💃; take a break, have a replay in your thoughts to have a redirection, seek help when and where needed. For like clay in your unwind state, God is faithful to send potters to perfect you and make the coming year...

When you are a good person, you don't lose people. They lose you. - Oleg Vishnelposky. When I saw this post on my LinkedIn, I quickly liked, saved it, and later posted it on my WhatsApp status days later. Upon posting it, I started having misconstrued thoughts, like "what will people think is happening to me, did she lose someone, what is she feeling like, trying to console herself" and this almost made me take down the post. Then again I had a thought redirection, I remember King David, who his wife Micah left because he was playing before God via dancing. Micah thought it was stupid for someone of that regard to dance in public to the extent that he was naked; this made her rebuke and left him because he stood his ground for something of a virtue. You know good people are what the Bible says in Matthew 5: 14-16 ~ Light to the world. You will attract many, but be warned many will walk away from you after trying to rebuke you for they cannot stand the intensity ...

Hi guys, I have been on diet with this book: The 10X Rule , authored by Grant Cardone, an entrepreneur, and sales motivation coach; and want to share the value I got with you. The book is a must-read if you seek to achieve success in your personal life and business. It comprises 23 Chapters built around a discipline called the "10X Rule; which is about pure domination mentality. You never do what others do, you must be willing to take actions and do what you or others might deem unreasonable. Here are the action points that I got: ~ Things change ; nothing remains as it was, for things to be maintained, they require attention and action. Thus to be an extremely successful person you must know that your efforts must continue in order for them to realize new achievements. ~ In life or business, many people make mistakes of underestimating the time, energy, and effort required to achieving their set goals. If you commit this mistake, you will have quit in your mind, voic...

So today, i will be sharing with you my review from John C. Maxwell book on leadership development  Book Title - How Successful People Lead Author - John. C. Maxwell  The Author began by stating the importance of leadership in achieving personal and organisation success in life. Leadership is about dealing with people and their dynamic nature and the goal of it is to create change and facilitate growth. To achieve this goal, you must grow and lead through five different levels. Level 1: POSITION People follow you because of your positional appointment. A major downside of this level is that it places rights over responsibilities; Its a good place to start but not to occupy. Level 2: PERMISSION At this level, people follow you because the like and trust you. You begin to gain influence because you value and have relationship with your followers. The downside of this leadership level is that you cab be taken advantage of! because of your openness. Level 3: ...

#ReadingThursday I am sharing with you a summary of a book I read. How Successful People Think  by John C. Maxwell This book is about personal development: how you can change your life by changing the way you think, it has 11 chapters, and here are crucial points I got. Cultivate Big Picture Thinking : It helps you see the big picture of things, enables you to handle emotions & propels your mental momentum. Engage in Focus Thinking:  Those who develop the process of good thinking can rule themselves, because they will be able to know "why" they take on an idea & get the best out of it. Harness Creative Thinking : Creativity is seeing what everybody else has seen and thinking what nobody else has thought so that you can do what nobody else has done. Employ Realistic Thinking: I wish I had known this earlier in my life: disappointment is the difference between expectations and reality, but realistic thinking help you minimize the difference between the two...

PHYSICAL EXERCISE If we take a look back at a couple of generations ago, most of our great-grandparents were naturally active, working hard physically to accomplish their daily chores. Today, we have escalators, microwaves and remote controls, some people drive around a parking lot for 10 minutes just to get a parking space closer to the door, others wait minutes for an elevator just to go to the first floor and we can fulfill most of our needs literally at the push of a button. This radical change from a vigorous to an inactive lifestyle has taken place; and genetically speaking, in a very short time frame, the human body can’t adapt to such a major change without dire consequences. Our relative inactivity has resulted in an overweight and obese society and an entire host of other functional disorders from blood-sugar problems and over fat bodies, to fatigue and low-back pain and other diseases. Hence, the improving of our fitness and health is associated with physical activity. ...

LIFE Mission: Find a Balance  In social sciences, we were made to understand that man's needs are insatiable. True as it may be, it doesn't stop us from utilizing the gift of life and our daily going forth in search of ways to fill these needs! Year 2018 has started in its majestic regalia, you might have taken time out to write out your yearly goals & dreams, taking action steps towards them every day and prioritizing your immediate wants & needs........good! good! good. I have learned that: Man's life is based on Beliefs upon which he builds his faith; our Needs lay the bedrock on which our Beliefs are built. Despite being aware of the truth that all men will someday pass on to the great beyond and be free of this cycle, many still live a carefree life in the present! with a vain sense of relief and reassurance that the pleasures of now and tempting joys from the imagination of the future will bring them to satisfy all their desires and need...
