GUMPTION

GUMPTION

Skills, talent, knowledge, and ability are not always enough to win certain battles or sail through some challenges in life. Many a times, we need some guts, some assertiveness, some gumption. Life does not serve us our wishes, neither does it pay us for our intentions, it only responds to our actions, our drive, and our determination to get to our destination, and have what we want.

Many dreamers and wishers abound with nothing to show for their dreams and wishes; many wanted to, never did, and would never become or receive, but those who in spite of challenges, obstacles, and inhibitions woke up, rose up, stood up, and fought for what they wanted, will always get that which they fight for, and sometimes even more.

Life is not fair, and that would not change, but those who would not be fair with the unfairness of life would would eventually have a fair life. It takes a lot of guts to not look back at quitting when life beats you hard. "When the going gets tough, the tough gets going" they say. If you have come this far in the struggle, if you have been beaten and stricken by happenstances that has slowed down your journey, do not quit, but keep moving.

Quitting is the resort of losers, it is the stamp of failure. Build your guts, strengthen your gumption, you would need a lot of it on your journey. Do not let the fear of what could happen, make nothing happen; if you have wings, but does not have the courage to fly, you would crawl for the rest of your life. No guts, no GUMPTION, no glory.

FULFILLMENT

FULFILLMENT

Different people would define fulfillment as different things, to some fulfillment would be the accumulation of financial and material wealth, to another it could mean rising or getting to a particular position they have always dreamed and hoped to get to, to some it could mean reaching a level of personal satisfaction in their life. Could this all actually be seen as fulfillment? Maybe personal fulfilment, but is that all we are made for?

True fulfillment is the realization and actualisation of a man's purpose in life. Every man has a purpose and a man's purpose is always beyond the man, everything one does for himself should be in a bid to fulfilling the bigger purpose. Self fulfillment is partial fulfillment, but the fulfillment of purpose is the real definition of fulfillment.

Many a men have come and gone, many never fulfilled purpose. Though rich and famous, many lived only for themselves, their legacies never lived after them, but left with them. Some left legacies of regret that even their offspring are not proud of. Martin Luther King Jr., lived a short but fulfilled life; Nelson Mandela lived to the full realisation of his purpose; Mahatma Gandhi, Mother Theresa, and many others lived lives that still impacts many other lives positively today.

What are you running after, is your life, actions, and activities all about fulfilling purpose or making yourself alone comfortable and satisfying. You can not say you have fully lived if you only lived for yourself. Whatever we do, we must do with the consciousness of our purpose and not ourselves, immortality is not in not dying but in living on the the hearts and lives of others even after we have gone, this is to have lived a life of FULFILLMENT.

ESSENTIALS

ESSENTIALS

The insatiability of man's needs has been a major cause of drifted focus by man. Many people have made nonessentials their major aim and focus and have prioritised needlessly the achievement and accumulation of material objects rather than more essential and more important aspect of their lives and existence.

Many things are important to man but only a few are non negotiable. The absence of these things would not amount to an incomplete life, but it would mean a life of low value, quality, and effect. Without a sound mind, an healthy body, and a wise spirit, we would not live our best life, we would not function at our best potential, and we would not be able to direct our paths and that of others right.

These essentials are not free meals served on tables for everyone to enjoy. Anyone who would have these must be conscious of the need of it, and work in full commitment, and focus towards achieving it. One must understand the dos and don'ts of having a sound mind, an healthy body, and a wise spirit and must be ready to do what it takes to have them if he must live a worthy life.

The best life is the life lived with purpose and vision for the good of others and ourselves, anything outside this is purely irrelevant, but anything including this, makes life even better, and more enjoyable. Life is not to be lived in misery and boredom, but in amusement, pleasure, excitement, cheer, fun, and merriment; life should not be lived on nonessentials, but on real ESSENTIAL things of life.

DETERMINATION

DETERMINATION

"Nothing in this world can take the place of persistence. Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent." - Calvin Coolidge.

Nothing can stop the success of a determined man. Dreams, desire, vision without determination to see its fulfilment is mere mirage. The firm resolve of a man to bring his dreams to life cannot be tromped by any force outside that man, he is the lord and creator of his own future, and unless he relinquish his power to another man, he remains unconquerable.

It will not always be easy, but our determination will make it so, because, we will not see the challenge but the victory after we have fought bravely. Until we have shown enough level of doggedness and determination, we will not have a clear path. The world gives way to those who knows where they are going, and what they want from life.

Dreams come true, but the dreamer must first be awake from his sleep, and put in the required work with enough, zeal, drive, and determination. We don't get in life what we want or even deserve, we get in life what we fight for and are determined to have. Success is not what you get after your hard work, pain, stress, and fight; success is the hard work, the pain, the stress, and the fight, don't let it waste.

CONSISTENCE

CONSISTENCE

The subject of consistency can sometimes be controversial. Consistence can be both a set back and a propeller.

The most consistent phenomenon in life is change, but we are sometimes urged to remain consistent, that is, remain unchanging.

To be square on this subject, wisdom is necessary in determining when to be consistent and when to change. Israelmore Ayivor said in one of his books, “Do it again and again. Consistency makes the raindrops to create holes in the rock. Whatever is difficult can be done easily with regular attendance, attention and action.” if a part is clear, and the road is all mapped out, you need consistency to get to your destination, otherwise you will fall short by the way. The secret to success of a well mapped out journey is consistency. 

Contrariwise, nature forbids consistency. Almost everything changes consistently. In the words of Aldous Huxley “Consistency is contrary to nature, contrary to life, the only completely consistent people are the dead.” Dynamism is important to our personal endeavours, we must know when to keep moving, when to stop, when to change, and when to remain rigid.

In all, we must understand ourselves, our journey, and our process. This is the only way through which we can identify what to do per time, as it relates to consistency and flexibility. Every man has his own path, and every path requires different approach, be sure to know what approach works best for you and follow through.

BURGEONING

BURGEONING

"Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit." (Ecclesiastes 7:8).

The only way to have a better ending is to have began something, what was never started will never end, not to talk of being better.

It takes a lot to start any journey, and most of what is needed and necessary sprouts from within us. You need self confidence, high self-esteem, and belief in your abilities, these are some of the most important things you must have to begin the burgeoning process. Growth is gradual, but intentional, to have a chance of becoming, we must begin the process and be ready for whatever we encounter on our journey.

The days of new beginnings and fresh starts will not always be rosy, easy, and smooth, but as tough times never lasts, but tough people do, that phase will pass, and the next will emerge. Growing a plant does not end at burying the seed, it goes beyond that, the watering, weeding and nursing processes must follow until we have a plant that can survive any weather without any care or support.

Patience and care is necessary to sail through these days, we must not be too hasty to achieve results, we must not rush the process but follow through with care and attention. What we learn and become in that process is our real benefit, not what we get. We can lose what we get, but who we become can never be taken away from us. Keep BURGEONING in the process.

ASPIRATIONS

ASPIRATIONS

James Dean once said, "Dream as if you will live forever; Live as if you will die today."

Success comes from a lot of hard work on our aspirations, it does not come from mere wishes, and dreams. Dreams come true, but not in sleep, if you must achieve your dreams, you must wake up from your sleep.

Our dreams and aspirations are the essence of our living. If we do not have dreams to actualise, and aspirations to follow after, we would be living empty and baseless lives. We must dream big dreams, and have big aspirations. You must shoot for the moon, if you don't hit your target, you will at least land among the stars.

In the words of Henry David Thoreau "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavours to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours." There is no other way to success other than a determined movement in the direction of that which we desire. Aspirations are free, but its achievement require a price, pay the price and you will get there.

ZING

ZING 

Zing goal ward,

Zing progressively,

Zing courageously,

Zing towards greatness.

Haste, sometimes always lead to delays. When we attempt to do things hastily, we eventually fall into a twist, and we start to find ways of getting out of it. Haste may be an enemy of progressive process, but we must not fail to move swiftly in the direction of our goals and dreams when the paths are clear for us.

We must not relent in the progressive advancement towards achieving our purpose, and vision in life, it would not be an easy ride, it would not be a piece of cake, but it would be worth everything we put into it. Courage is a necessary ingredient and catalyst to this progressive movement, we must therefore endeavour to be courageous on this train.

Greatness is right ahead of everyone who aspire to be great, it is not a phenomenon to be experienced only by a select few, but by anyone who would do what is necessary to be great. It is in every one of us but we must bring it it out from within us, and manifest it for the world to see. ZING progressively courageous in the direction of your dreams, and it will be a just as you want.

YIELD

YIELD

Yield to progress,

Yield to personal growth,

Yield to productivity,

Yield to a better future.

Progressive living is choice style of life, one must yield to living it out by putting plenty of work into it. The only guarantee to a progressive lifestyle is a dedicated and ready mind, a mind that is willing to live, in a way that yields progress.

Personal growth and productivity does not happen without purposeful pursuit of it. One who would grow and become productive must methodically follow through the growth and productivity stages and process, he must be determined to achieve and become what he wish and want to become and work tirelessly to achieve it.

Yield to a better future, it is the best you can do for yourself and the generations to come. You owe a great depth to yourself to give yourself a life of plenty and pleasure. No one would do anything for you until you do for yourself what should be done. Yield to everything good and positive, it is the key to a better life and a satisfying future.

In the words of the great American writer and Author, Dale Carnegie "People rarely succeed unless they have fun in what they are doing." Life is a very serious adventure, having fun and enjoying the ride is what makes it worthwhile.

Our vision and purpose in life must be one we enjoy, we must be passionate about achieving it, and find ways of ensuring we do not get out of the zeal of pursuing. The process might not be a really easy one, but we should liven up the process to make it worthwhile and fulfilling.

Having fun and enjoying ourselves and our process may go against the tenets of growing up, and adulthood, we may belief it is childish to want to have fun, but having fun has a way of making the task easier and the process seamless. Xaern every bit of what you do, xaern your life.

WILNE

Wilne greatness,

Without the willingness and a strong desire to become a person of value, relevance, and influence, you cannot become anything worthwhile. As much as desire is very crucial and important, it can on its own do nothing.

We must desire to be great, we must desire a better world, we must desire to be better persons, we must seek better lives for ourselves, but we must put into our desire the work that will take us to our desired destination.

Sometimes, our desire is the catalyst we need as push to begin the journey we should begin. The drive to become starts with a desire. Wilne to be great, it starts your journey to greatness, wilne a better world, the work starts from you, wilne a better you, it is the start to who you want to become, wilne a better life, and you will get it.

VITALIZE

VITALIZE

Vitalize your purpose,

Vitalize your drive,

Vitalize your plans,

Vitalize your vision.

Like every living object, our purpose, drive, plans, and visions needs to be vitalized, we need to refresh and bring back to life or give a reawakening. We may be stressed out, we may become weak and weary, we may even question our purpose, but whenever we feel like giving up on our purpose, we must refresh.

Our drive and passion for achieving our dreams may be faced with challenges and difficulties, we may feel like giving up, but giving up will be a loss of investment, a loss of effort, and a loss of time. We should not fight to quit, but fight to win.

Whatever happens in life, whatever we do, whatever we want to become, we must not relent, even when it becomes difficult to continue, we must find inner strength to keep moving. We must keep our plan, purpose, drive, and vision alive so we can achieve our desired dreams.

UTILISE

UTILISE

Utilise your powers,

Utilise your skills,

Utilise your potentials,

Utilise your relationships.

The power to change our life is abundantly resident in many people, they have all that it takes to turn their unwanted situations into an admirable and desirable one. Many people have great powers, skills, potentials, and networks, but have chosen not to utilise these things at all.

There is just so much that one needs to be whatever he wants to be. And everyone has almost everything, the challenge is, how well is it being used? The skills you consider useless or irrelevant can open doors to great possibilities for you; you possess potentials for great achievements, but it will only remain potential until it is properly put to use.

Turning unwanted situations around may not be as difficult as it seems, the willingness and readiness to leverage on what one has would do the magic. Tap into your reserve, and utilise your powers, skills, potentials, and networks, evaluate yourself and see what is missing and what can be gotten from what you already have.

Tune in to better thoughts,

A Chinese proverb says "be careful of your thoughts, it become your words. Be careful of your words, it become your actions. Be careful of your actions, it become your habits. Be careful of your habits, it become your character. Be careful of your character, it becomes your destiny."

By default many people run on negative thought patterns which have produced their current situation in life. If we are to change our results, and turn our situation around, we must tune in to a new wave of thoughts. When we change our thoughts everything around us changes, we begin to see and experience new things.

A change in thought, produce a change in attitude, a change in attitude produce better and goal oriented activities, and a change of activities will lead to a better life. Achieving our dreams is a possibility if we are ready and willing to do what is necessary. TUNE in to a new way of life and produce a better life.

SANCTION

SANCTION

Sanction your thoughts,

Sanction your actions,

Sanction your beliefs,

Sanction your aspirations.

Living with purpose has almost become a cliché statement recently, most people do not really a have deep understanding of what it mean to live with purpose. Many at times people do things without having a tangible and explainable reason of doing those things. In the real sense, they have a reason but most times their reasons are unreasonable.

Living a life of purpose would require that one begin to question, answer, and approve or disapprove his or her intentions for doing things. We must be able to sanction our thoughts, actions, beliefs, and aspirations. Why do you think the way you think? The way you think affects what you do, and ultimately what becomes of you.

Your belief should be sanctioned, your aspirations should be sanctioned. Your belief system goes a long way in determining how you see things and relate with people. What value does your aspirations bring to those around you, the larger society, and yourself. The best way to live is not for one's self but for others. SANCTION your life, live a better life.

RELEASE

RELEASE

Release fear,

Release anger,

Release sentiments,

Release negative thoughts.

The most dangerous prisons to be in are not those made with mortar and bricks, they are not the physically visible prisons, but the self erected prison in a man's mind. Real prisoners are not those in chains and shackles, behind tall walls, heavily guarded by armed security men, but those who imprisoned themselves by harbouring fear, anger, sentiments, and negative thoughts.

Fear, anger, sentiments, and negative thoughts blind a man's eye from seeing clearly, and blocks his mind from reasoning objectively. They hinder him from moving forward, and limit him from growing up. They are enemies that show up as shields to protect us from our shortcomings and incompetence, they do not allow us to become who we really are.

We must endeavour to free ourselves from our self imprisonment, we must seek to know, and understand more than we assume. Fear, anger, sentiments, and negative thoughts should be intentionally expelled from our hearts and mind. If we must be who we want to be, we must work intentionally towards it and RELEASE ourselves from our own prisons.

QUICKEN

QUICKEN

Quicken your spirit,

Quicken your mind,

Quicken your body,

Quicken your life.

There can never be a successful endeavour, journey or process without a lively, excited, active, and vitalised spirit, mind, and body. The spiritual is the progenitor of everything physical, everything that is seen in the physical has first been established in the spiritual, being unspiritual denies one of the privilege of seeing before manifestation.

The mind is one very powerful tool. Most people do not know nor understand the power of the mind. Our thoughts are produced in the mind, and thoughts are a revelation of possibilities. Anything that is conceivable by the mind is achievable, but with the required work put into the process of achieving and producing.

An unhealthy body will not be able to put in the necessary work that is required to get one to his desired destination. Spirit, mind, and body need to be fed with necessary nutritional contents to be refreshed and vitalised. One must be determined to do the work or risk retrogression, stagnation, and failure.

PUBLISH

PUBLISH

Publish your plans,

Publish your results.

In certain parts of the world, publishing or making public your plans is going against the grain, it is considered insensitive to do so, but a lot of times publishing your plans has a way of pushing you to get going when you don't feel like moving forward. A public plan is a public debt. Although following through with your plan is your ultimate responsibility, and largely for your good, making it public gives you a sense of debt that must be paid.

Published works and processes is a declaration of your transparency and integrity, it puts you on the table of trust and make people who may want to tow same path as yours to understand and know what it looks and feels like to be on that path. It help people know what is expected of them to do what you are doing.

Published results are a motivation and encouragement that the work and the process is valid and viable, it brings to the realisation that when work is put into a process, it yield results. Making your plans, visions, and dreams public does not make it impossible to achieve them, it does not put you at risk of losing, what determines whether you win or lose is the amount of work and dedication you commit to achieving them.

Almost every thing we do in life requires a conscious and determined effort to make it work. Relationships don't work on autopilot, if the parties involved in it does not make it work, it won't. Conversations are like wheel barrows, until you push it, it would not move an inch from its position.

For everything we want to see a change in, for everything we desire a better result from, for every progress we want to achieve, we must put in the work of making it work. We must oil our relationships, conversations, processes, and life to avoid friction, wear and tear, breakage, and wreckage. Oiling is our effort to make things work, and until we are determined to OIL, nothing will change, nothing will get better.

Difficulties bring about development of resistive strength, it develops one's wisdom, knowledge and level of understanding.

Standards are your minimum requirements or level of expectation in certain areas of your life and activities you are involved in, they are the principles by which you run your life. Your standards are strictly yours and must be adhered to irrespective of what you do, where you find yourself, and others opinions. Lowering your standard is a compromise of your principles.

We must always strive to maintain our standards, however high it may seem to others; a positive attitude is a key ingredient to weathering the storms, and surviving difficulties, we must always maintain it; we must cultivate and maintain positive and impacting relationships, they help us stay strong when we become weak.

A healthy lifestyle is the ultimate, without good and sound health, nothing can be fully achieved, utilised, or enjoyed. We must keep ourselves healthy at all times to function at our best capacity. Never go below your standards and principles. This does not outrightly suggest that we become rigid when we should be flexible with certain things.

Listening is a very underrated and undervalued skill, it is a major means of learning, if not the most important means. A person who listen, is a person who would always learn. It is a different thing to listen, and another thing to hear. One brings understanding, the other brings argument.

What and who you listen to determines who you become, because what you hear have a way of affecting how you think, and what you think affects what you do. You must therefore take caution in who you listen to. Listen to great minds, people whose words will positively affect your mind, people whose words will encourage and not discourage you from being who you should be.

Listen, not just to hear, but to learn; listen more, and talk less, it is a sign of wisdom; listen to your mind, it is a God given compass to direct you in the way you should go. Do not despise old and wise words, they are a reservoir of wisdom; do not despise the words of the young, they are a foretelling of unknown wisdom. LISTEN, don't just hear.

Life does not get easier, the higher you go, the tougher it becomes. Success is a continuous process of becoming, and it does not come cheap.

The going will always get tough, and when this happens, the tough must get going. How do one become tough? We become tough by moving forward in the face of difficulties, we become tough by learning, we become tough by climbing even when it gets tougher to go up, we become tough by working on ourselves, and our dreams.

We do not become anything, we do not achieve anything by mere wish. Whatever we would have, we must fight for; wherever we would get to, we must go to.

One of the most important, and largest sources of inspiration available to man is books. Great men and women who have passed on, and many more who still live have given us a glimpse, if not real depth of their life and how they made it through different phases of their journeys to the top in books.

Many of these books come in direct letters of the subject as autobiographies, and some in letters of people who have worked with them, walked with and by them, observed them, and studied them as biographies. The fundamental thing is that their lives and journey has been presented to us in books for us to read and learn from.

Anne Frank is arguably the most discussed Jewish victims of the Holocaust and can never be forgotten. Why is this? She penned her experiences during this very difficult times in her life. Immortality is buried in journals and books. If you want to be a source of inspiration to others, if you want to remain immortal, JOURNAL your story.

Immersion is the process of being fully buried into something. Many at times, people go through processes without being immersed into that process. Some students go to school (universities, polytechnics, and colleges) but when you see them do certain things, you wonder if they have ever been through any form of organised psychological training or development.

If one must see his vision come to life; if one must be a better person through the embryonic process to adulthood; if one would be able to prove himself to have gone through a worthy process of development; one must be completely Immersed in the vision and the process.

It is not what we achieve after we have gone through our journey to accomplishment that matters, it is what we become. What we become gives us the opportunity to start another journey to a greater level from an advanced position of knowledge, character, and understanding. If our only gain from whatever we do is the reward of doing it, if we do not become better than we were before we started, then we would have wasted valuable time.

Human beings are by nature inclined to diversity of interests, aspirations, and ideas, they are sometimes endowed with multiple talents, and abilities. They also pick up for themselves a variety of skills and can do a lot of things at the same time. All these can sometimes create distractions that will limit the chances of creating a dream life for an individual.

Being multi talented, multi skilled, and multi faceted is a great advantage and opportunity for those who can manage and harmonize these special gifts. Such persons have to look at how related these skills, talents, and abilities are; how they can be used to support each other and what this harmony can bring them.

The gospel of focus is unwavering, the necessity of focus can not be undermined. Focus is very important to any journey and its eventual success. Any force that has lost focus has lost its power, and would have difficulty in effectiveness. Harmonizing is the key to achieving focus.

Whatever you give as a seed into the course and the fight for your desired future you will eventually receive in it when you get there, and the quality you get will be a mirror of what you have given.

You have to protect all that you have, and the things life has given you, and this does not come easy, you must fight for it.

Your fight is not and should never be against anyone, but against evil, against injustice, and against ills and misnomers. Every human is part of a larger society, when there is a fight towards a better society, one should not count himself uninvolved, as a fight for a better society, is a fight for better life for individuals. Life is a battlefield FIGHT until you win.
