SUCCESS VISA (Part Five)

....Continued from Part Four on Sacrifice visa

1.  THE SACRIFICE OF LEARNING: Your vision will grow lean if you don't learn enough per time and over time. The greatest hindrance to the fulfillment of vision is ignorance and the greatest weapon is knowledge. While it is needful for you to be very passionate about pursuing your vision, don't do so without first arming yourself with the relevant knowledge. True, there are some things you learn on the job, but there are some knowledge and skills you must possess for you to breakthrough.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Four)

V – Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A - Attitude

S - Sacrifice: Life is a market place and everything has a price tag. Once you've placed your orders and made payments, you have a delivery of what and how much you paid for. Life does not cheat and cannot be cheated.

For every vision you are running with, there are specific demands life places on you. When you are able to meet these demands, you mount up in greatness. But when you are not able, you melt down in mediocrity.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Three)

V - Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A – Attitude

I - INITIATIVE: Discovering and defining your vision is not success yet. You have to begin to live the vision every day and for the rest of your life. You must strive to initiate that plan you have on your head. You need to start something irrespective of prevailing circumstances. Don't complain things are not good that's why you couldn't do anything. Do something instead and make things good, better until they are best.

SUCCESS VISA (Part Two)

Continuation from SUCCESS VISA (PART ONE)

VISA:

V - Vision

I - Initiative

S - Sacrifice

A – Attitude

V - Vision: Dream is what could be, while vision is what would be. You need more than mere dreaming to succeed. The heart of a man is full of many desires. So, you need to make a stock count of all your present desires, wants, interests, cravings, and passions and sieve out that "one thing" that makes the difference. You can't really be a difference maker in life if you don't know what really makes the difference.

SUCCESS VISA (Part One)

Nobody is born a success or a failure, we all live to be either successful or as a failure depending on how we lived our lives. Everybody is born with all needed potentials to live a fulfilled life but how much of these potentials we discover and maximized determines how successful and fulfilled we become.

Success and failure are not functions of our background in the real sense, but how well we've discovered and developed ourselves to maximize opportunities for growth around us.

LIVING THE FUTURE (Part Two)

More on steps to self-actualization: (continued from Part One)

1.  Document the picture of the future you have sculptured in your mind. Try to print out the mental picture physically using pictures, graphic illustrations and words that correctly portray the exact image of the future you have created. Be very detailed, simple, specific and realistic in doing this. Keep these information before you all the time in parchments, diaries, wall frames, as wallpapers and screensavers on phones and computers and any other form as applicable.

LIVING THE FUTURE (Part One)

Living every day like the person you want to become in the future is the beginning of fulfillment. A major part of tomorrow is lived today. Thinking that the future is still far ahead is one of the greatest risk ever, it makes you to be taken unawares by the unfolding of life realities.

Let's look at it this way: some hours ago, today was tomorrow, and some hours from now, tomorrow shall become today and today shall become yesterday. So, every tick of the clock brings the future closer than you think and you may be overtaken by events if you are still thinking the days are still far ahead because they are not. To fulfill your dreams, therefore, you must strive daily to beat the time and start living your dreams now.

ON RESPONSIBILITY: being in charge of your life

Motivitals Quotes

Have you imagined why in the same environment where people fail, others succeed? Have you thought of the reason why in the same land where some people fold up their businesses, others keep expanding? 
At times, the same circumstances that get some people frust

UNPLUG: reinventing yourself for maximum productivity.

Motivitals Quotes

As we go through life every day, we are being exposed to different circumstances both good and bad. There are times a bulk of our experiences do contradict and contravene our life expectations. We are often faced with mountains that could look insurmountable, situations that are too bitter to our taste. 
Meanwhile, inbuilt in us is the survival instincts which are being activated in response to those circumstances.
This is when we begin to stagger in order to regain our stand instead of falling when the stormy wind of tribulations blow against us. We tend to struggle to bring our stock of experiences, knowledge and all energies inherent in us to bear in order to overcome the challenge at hand.

True, the determined soul is never ready to give up come what may. To this end, we often find ourselves wrestling with one challenge or the other at a time. In the process, we expend energies either spiritual, physical, mental and otherwise.
 At this state, we become vulnerable in so many ways. If enough effort is not being made to replenish our depleted energy levels as soon as necessary, we may become totally spent and exhausted making us even more vulnerable.

Some people have lost their mind in the process of trying to get things fixed. Some have lost the little they have gathered in the process of trying to gather more. Some have come down with self-hatred in the process of trying to address the hatred from others. 
In the process of trying to put things in place, many have lost their places. Many are still losing more while seeking that which has been lost.

Now, could it be more advisable not to make further determined effort to handle things that are getting out of hand? Not really. The only advice is, be well guided by your heart and your head in balance.

You need wisdom, and the wisdom is to unplug, go back to your drawing board and look at the setting, again and again, to see what fits and what doesn't.

Motivitals Quotes

It is not enough to make relentless efforts to succeed, you must ensure all your efforts are in the right direction. 
After taking some steps towards achieving a goal and things are not working as planned, try and find out if you are really doing the right thing and no essential part is missing out. Try to find out if there is anything you are doing that you are not supposed to do, or if there is anything you are not doing that you are supposed to do. Then, make amends when and where necessary. Of course, from the things that are not working, you can learn the things that could work.

THINK BIG (Part Seven)

Having done all to start the pursuit of your dreams from the preceding series, always remember the following as you go on the journey:

1.  There are potholes ahead: The road to success is never a smooth one, not at all. Your journey will always be checkered with challenges. Things may not go as expected. Friends may fail you. Attacks from both known and unknown sources would come. But remember, if you would fail or succeed, it's a choice you would have to make. God's promises for your life does not make for the absence of obstacles, they only guarantee your victory.
