  • Yourself-Image Determines Your Performance

    We all have formed an image of ourselves in one way or another. I have been doing a personal study of my performance in relation to my personal image.

    The discovery has been phenomenal. I have discovered that the way I view myself has a direct relationship with my task performance and my general life output.

    I believe that this is true for most of us. We live our lives based on our self-image. We form our self-image based on many factors especially external ones.

    If your self-image is that of a failure or of a loser, believe me, you are most likely living a failed or losing life. However, the opposite is also true.

    When I am carrying out a task and my personal thoughts are negative the results are also not very encouraging. Sometimes I have spent hours and hours writing articles only to realise that I have not done a good job.

    This happens mostly when I am having negative feelings. The articles produced with negative emotions never find their way onto this website.

    It is, therefore, important that you create a positive self-image if you have to improve your performance.  Having a positive self-image is one of the key factors for enhancing your personal growth.

    A positive self-image will accelerate your performance levels and speed up your goal attainment process. There are times when you just feel negative about something, it is absolutely okay to feel that way.

    The key thing is how quickly you turn your negative thoughts into positive ones. I have written enough articles on this website that sometimes when I feel demotivated, I start going through some of them, and boom my mind is filled with positive thoughts.

     I have also gotten inspiration for writing even more articles just from reading motivational books. I am not blowing my own trumpet but just merely stressing the point of reading motivational articles.

    If you have always had negative thoughts about yourself, I encourage you to read the Bible for inspiration. There are many books out there but, the Bible is the book of life. It is the manual for your life.

    When you read the Bible, you begin to see how precious you are in the eyes of God. Failure is mostly associated with our negative self-image.

    You have the capacity to change and shape your destiny if only you can change your personal self-image. Change begins with you.

    If you want to improve your performance and live the life you’ve always wanted, you must make the mental change to believe that you are the best at what you do and begin to take action.

    You are responsible for your life and should learn to take full responsibility for your actions and your current situation. If you are an adult you should not expect a bailout.

    Just take responsibility and begin to act on making things better for yourself.

    “The moment of enlightenment is when a person’s dreams of possibilities become images of probabilities” – Vic Bruden.

    How Do You Change Your Self-image?

    This is perhaps the starting point for your personal growth. You, alone are responsible for creating your self-image.

    It’s like in a marriage, what you tell your relatives and friends about your spouse is what they will know about them.  If you disrespect them, believe me, they will also do the same.

    What you call your spouse in public is what they will call them. So if you want people to respect them you will always endeavour to tell positive things about them and you will treat them with respect.

    Those of you who are married must take this advice seriously. You will respect your spouse in public regardless of the differences you had at home.

    It’s those that do not value their marriages who will talk negatively about their spouses in public. Yes, every marriage has its own unique problems and we do not want to bring them out in public.

    The same is true with how you view and portray yourself to people. The more positive and confident you show people the more positive and confident people will see you.

    But this begins with yourself seeing the many positive things and qualities you possess. Take a sheet of paper and just write out 20 things you think you are.

    You will be amazed at what you will write down. Yes, we fail but that does not mean we should not try again. The most successful people fail many times before they succeed.

    The less successful people give up once they encounter a challenge. Failure to me is merely an obstacle to be overcome. Life would be very boring without challenges.

    Many of the times when we encounter challenges it simply means that there is an opportunity to develop a solution for the challenge.

    If you keep trying and trying things differently you will surely succeed at what you are doing.

    Fill your mind with positive self-images about yourself and sooner than later your mind will change the way you look at yourself.

    Create a deliberate habit of saying “I like myself” repeatedly every time you feel low emotionally. When you wake up in the morning ask God to help you focus on the positive things in life.

    Refuse the spirit of negativity and put on the image of positive thinking. Believe that you can complete a task with better results and make time to develop your skillset.

    Have an open mind to learning new things. Always see failure as a challenge and refuse to accept it.

    Surely changing your self-image will make you feel much happier and definitely help to improve your performance.

    When you feel good about yourself you will perform much, much better. After all, what you want most in life is the feeling of happiness.

    Know that you will come across people that will say unpleasant things about you. But you have the ultimate control to either accept or reject them, and besides, we all have skeletons in our closets.

    No one on this earth can claim to be pure. It is also beneficial to hang around people that have a positive image of you as this helps to keep you motivated.

    When you create a positive image about yourself, somehow it flows from you and attracts the right people. Make a deliberate policy to evaluate your friends, some of them may not be very beneficial to your personal growth.

    Maintain the Discipline of Doing What is Right

    There is a good feeling when you do something that is right. The feeling is just awesome. I would not be wrong to say that we all possess the ability to do the right thing.

    There is just something nice when we feel that, what we have done is good. All well-meaning people have a conscious that tells them about what they are doing.

    Usually I go with my first thoughts or rather my instincts. If I am doing something that am not sure of its effect on other people, I back out unless am convinced otherwise.

    This is not to say that I have never done wrong things before, No. Believe me, I have and, have learned to take responsibility for them, and help to correct them if I can.

    I am not ashamed to go back and say am sorry let me correct my wrongdoing. I have developed the discipline of doing what I think and feel is right especially for my success.

    Self-discipline is one of the most difficult traits, but an important one for personal development and growth. We keep fighting every day to do the right things.

    Our minds are always telling us to do the easier things in life than to do the most difficult and important things first. Like delayed gratification, we always want to spend money rather than save for the future.

    I also struggle on a daily basis to do the easy things and forget the difficult and necessary tasks. But tell you what, every time I conquer this edge, there is a feeling of joy and satisfaction.

    Developing the discipline of doing the right things first is a good attribute to have in improving your performance.

    Doing the right things always makes you feel motivated and proud of yourself.

    Society lacks men and women who can stand up to do the right things even in the advent of criticism.

    It seems to me that many of us have fallen prey to doing what is popular or trending for fear of being called bad names.

    We would rather be on the same side with the majority even when we know deep down our hearts that what we have done is wrong.

    Conclusion

    “Believe in yourself” – Unknown. The essence of personal self-image is very critical to personal growth as it is the centre of your performance attribute.

    We should try as much as possible to create a positive self-image if we have to enjoy our lives. Most of the people who have a negative self-image are low performers.

    If you are in a leadership position take a closer look at your subordinate’s performance reports, you will realise that one of the major factors of low performers is a result of a negative self-image.

    The high performers are more usually confident and have a positive self-image.

    You should consider helping those that are low performers as this will inadvertently reflect on your leadership skills and enhance your performance as a team.

  • The Five Principles of Self-Management

    “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference” ~ Serenity Prayer.

    Self-management refers to the act of taking responsibility for our emotions. We all have emotions and you will notice that our emotional being has a direct effect on our daily lives.

    The ordinary man, who has no definite knowledge of cause and effect, is governed by his feelings or emotions. When we take responsibility for our emotions it gives us an edge and tool to push us further in our daily lives.

    Self management is one of the key pillars for personal development and self improvement.

    Without knowing and having the descipline to manage your life, there is very little meaningful achievements that can be attained. You will simply be existing.

    Self-control

    Self-control is the ability to refrain from knee-jerking reactions in response to your emotions. Without self-control, you cannot achieve your intended purpose.

    Our bodies naturally make certain emotional demands. It is entirely up to you to control them. This ability to refrain is what is called self-control.

    Human beings have developed certain habits that have to be done on a regular basis. The body becomes accustomed to what it is trained to do.

    In order to possess vitality, thought must be impregnated with love. Love is a product of emotions. It is therefore essential that the emotions be controlled and guided by intellect and reason.

    One of the best ways to help improve your self-control is not to react on impulse when faced with challenging situations. Stop and think before you act.

    I learned during my Junior High School days to think before acting. This is because in the workshop we had a big poster as you entered, depicting a man with bandages all over his body with a big label below saying “THINK BEFORE YOU ACT.”  The reasoning is simple. The workshop is a dangerous place, you may injure yourself if you do not take precaution.

    The emotion of anger is a strong one, but it can be controlled and tamed. Everything that can be learned can be unlearned, including emotions.

    Another way to enhance your self-control is to reflect on why you feel out of control in the first place. Researchers have proved that all major emotional reactions tend to come from two main emotions – Desire and fear.

    If you can learn to handle your desires and ensure that you are able to handle fear, you will have a better chance of improving self management.

    Trustworthiness

    Without trust, you cannot function and later on succeed. If you are in business am sure you will know that if you have to succeed you need your customers to trust you.

    The best way to think of trustworthiness is to align it with integrity.  The more trustworthy you are the more integrity you have. If you value your job, you will definitely do more to achieve higher productivity and give the best results possible.

    Trustworthiness is paramount especially to those of us in the service industry. But all in all, we as human beings must endeavour to achieve the highest possible trustworthiness.

    Imagine living in a society where each and every one of us is trustworthy? Wouldn’t that be a wonderful thing?

    Well, change starts with you and spreads to the next person and the next, before you know it everyone is affected.  Imagine you go to see a doctor when you are ill and are told that your doctor is not trustworthy.

    How would that make you feel? What would be your reaction? If you are a medical practitioner you can help change that perception, by being trustworthy.

    Live Conscientiously

    When you are conscientious you are in control and responsible for your emotions. This in turn means that you take responsibility for your activities.

    The biggest advantage you have when you are conscientious is you have full control over your actions and what you say. You will not have regrets such as:-

    • They made me do it……
    • I was upset…..
    • I was irritated.….

    In other words, you will not have to place responsibility on other people. You will take full responsibility for your emotions and actions.

    Embracing ownership of your emotions empowers you to discover new possibilities. You are not just a passive participant in your life; you hold the reins. This control allows you to make intentional choices about your words and actions, setting the stage for your own success and fulfillment.

    Adaptability

    Perhaps one of the key principles of self-management is adaptability. This is one skill that we all have used either effectively or negatively at some point in our lives.

    Being adaptable can be a distinguishing factor in a work or business environment. Things change every time and with every change comes different and sometimes new methods of doing things. The biggest question is how adaptable are you?

    I have come to understand that as human beings, most of us are resistant to change. But rather than resist change learn to embrace and adapt to it.

    Sometimes it may require that you leave your current employment or change the way you do business altogether. Whatever the situation may be, you must try by all means to adapt to the new change.

    Every change that happens comes with opportunities. Look for them as you navigate through the change.

    I know that change, more especially at workplaces or in relationships, comes with different emotional feelings. It is very cardinal that you learn to manage the change.

    Achievement Orientation

    Self-management requires that you are goal-oriented. Besides how can you manage yourself effectively without setting goals or targets to achieve?

    When you are successfully managing yourself you are able to choose the actions and behaviours that help drive your personal or team’s goal achievements.  To help enhance the skill of achievement orientation try doing the following:-

    • Determine what is important and prioritise accordingly
    • Delay gratification when necessary
    • Don’t let your pride get in the way of your actions
    • Admit it when you have a problem and ask for help when needed
    • Take great care of yourself

    The highlight of achievement orientation is setting your personal intended purpose. This is the driving purpose for your achievement orientation and self-management.

    Without a personal intended purpose, you are living an aimless life and that is not what God created you for.

    Conclusion

    I believe that self-management is a very wide topic. It is also very cardinal and important to achieve the highest standard possible in self-management.

    The more self-control you have over yourself the better the chances of being a better and successful leader.

    The above principles if followed can greatly improve your self-management skills and enhance your overall quality of life and character.

    I would like to end by encouraging you to take the first step towards self-management and help change the world.

  • 3 Reasons Why Success is in Your Hands

    “The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret to outward success.” – Henry Ward Beecher.

    You are the master of your fate and the captain of your soul. You are in charge and responsible for your life. How far you go in life is highly determined by how far you are willing to go.

    If you want to achieve more you need to become more. To become more is no small feat. It requires that you put in the effort.

    It takes a lot of time, discipline, and courage to achieve above-average results.

    If you keep doing the same things and hope for different results, prepare for a wake-up call. Remember, nature reflects your actions. When you plant lemon seeds, you don’t just get lemons; you cultivate entire lemon trees. So, take charge—plant the seeds of your dreams and watch them grow into something extraordinary!

    You cannot expect to get good results if you are not putting in the required effort and doing the right things.

    Those who have succeeded have had to give up many of the short-term gratifications and this is the major difference with those who are still struggling.

    They like to eat dessert before the main meal and this makes them full. They eat without thinking about tomorrow.

    They live for the now and not for tomorrow. They live as if tomorrow will never come.

    In fact, most people I see around live to show off. They are always worried about what people think and say about them.

    The Bow and Arrow Scenario

    Let’s take an example of an archer. Let’s say your life is like an archer’s bow and arrow.

    For the archer to hit a target that is further, he needs to pull the arrow as far back as possible.

    This is the only sure way that the arrow will gain the required momentum and velocity to move through the air and hit the desired target.

    However, this is not a guarantee that he will hit the target as aimed. A good archer does not only pull the arrow backwards but also aims it in the sky so that it can withstand the force of gravity as it propels towards the target.

    That is how your life is. The pulling back and aiming of the arrow is the preparation. God is simply preparing you for the coming challenges.

    The more you prepare for challenges that lie ahead the easier they become to navigate. Like a hot knife piercing through butter.

    Yes, sometimes it will feel or seem like it’s impossible, but with God by your side, nothing is impossible. He makes a way where there is no way.

    I always say that what lies ahead is much more than what we have experienced or accomplished.

    There is much more to be accomplished than what we already have. The future is always better than the past.

    There is always a solution to every challenge that we encounter. Every challenge we have faced has been faced and resolved before.

    Take the above example about the bow and arrow again. Compare the distance the arrow travels towards the target versus the distance it moves during the aiming process.

    As can be seen, the forward thrust is much greater than the backward pulling. Yet it is the pulling that takes up a lot of energy.

    Your preparation will also determine how quickly and efficiently you will move forward. The more you prepare for a challenge the more confident you become.

    However, preparation can be time-consuming but if done well it yields wonderful results.

    Your Life is Like an Arrow

    Your life is like an arrow in the archer’s hands. God is the archer preparing your life for the journey. He already knows the target.

    Like the arrow, all you have to do is stay put and follow through God’s instructions and counsel and you will hit the bullseye.

    Since he is your creator he has already created a conducive environment for you to thrive in. He knows your weaknesses and strengths.

    The Bible says that before he formed you in your mother’s womb he knew you, before you were born he appointed and set you apart.

    So he knows your breaking point and will not let you break. If you pay attention and listen to him, God always provides a way when it seems that there is no way.

    He also opens up doors when one is shut because he wants to see you succeed. That’s his nature.

    You Decide What You Want

    The beauty with life is that God gave us the freedom to choose what we want. He does not force anyone to make a decision.

    He only provides the tools and environment for you to exploit. You are basically in charge of your choices and you make the final decisions.

    However, you should know that for every decision that you make there are consequences. It is entirely up to you to make the right decisions.

    Sometimes the consequences may be dire and sometimes they may be very favourable.

    That is why it is always important to seek the face of God before making life-changing decisions. Make sure you align your life with God’s plans.

    It is better to delay making the right decision than correcting the wrong one.

    Conclusion

    The decision to succeed and how much success you want to enjoy is entirely in your hands.

    The effort you invest today lays the foundation for your future. Every action you take is a step toward the rewards that await you. Remember, what you nurture will flourish; the choice is yours to make it happen.

  • Life is Like a Seed that Needs to be Nurtured

    “Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap, but by the seeds you plant” – Robert Louis Stevenson.

    Your attitude about the future depends on your ability to see the future.

    Every person has the inherent ability to dream, design, and experience the future through their hopeful imaginations.

    Whatever the capacity the mind has to imagine, it also has the ability to create. All human beings carry a seed to create.

    All growth comes from within. We all carry the seed to succeed and grow in whatever we put our minds to.

    In other words, life is like a seed. If you look around, you will realise that there is nothing that was not created. Believe it or not, everything you see was first conceived as a seed.

    The question you might be asking is if we all carry the seed of success why is it that only a few people are successful?

    Well the biggest challenge with most of us is that we let the seed go to waste. We do not take good care of it.

    You see for any seed to grow, it must be nurtured and nourished. This is the process that we do not want to undertake.

    Nurturing and nourishing a seed takes a lot of effort and time, discipline, and is hard work.

    Recently I started a small backyard garden. I have been growing plants from seeds. It has taken me close to 3 months to grow pepper, from seed to now almost harvest time.

    I have not yet harvested it and anything could go wrong before then. So not until we have enjoyed the first harvest, we have not yet enjoyed the benefits of our labour.

    So it is with life, it is like a tree. It starts as a seed and grows into a tree. Any seed has the potential to grow into a tree.

    However, whether the seed will grow into a tree and produce good fruit or not will depend on the quality of the nutrients.

    See for any seed to sprout and grow it needs dirt or better still soil otherwise if left open the sun will burn it.

    Now soil contains nutrients that are necessary for the growth of the seed. I believe it takes a lot of energy for the small seed to push itself up from underground to the surface.

    Better still it has to adapt to the different weather patterns and conditions to grow and start bearing good fruit.

    Nurture and Nourish that Seed

    Whatever it is that you want to do in life starts with planting a seed of it. If you want to be successful, you need to understand that it takes hard and smart work to achieve it. Plant the seed of success and begin to work on actualising it.

    Look, “somewhere in the Kafue National Park every morning arises an Impala that realises that it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten and die that day, in the same National Park arises a lion that realises that it must run faster than the fastest Impala or it will starve and die that day.”

    The moral of the story is that no matter what you do in life you have to run.

    No matter who you are you have to run. The running symbolises the work that you have to do on a daily basis.

    If you’ve had the opportunity to watch national geographics and observed how both the Impala and the Lion run. You will realise that they do not just run in a straight line.

    Life will throw things at you. It’s, therefore, important that you learn how to navigate through those obstacles.

    Learning how to navigate through life is not the easiest of things to do. We are constantly learning and adapting to life everyday.

    If you are not changing with time then, you are not improving and are most likely to remain behind. It could be the reason why you have stagnated in life.

    The dirt or soil symbolises the foundation. This is the hardest part. Making the soil more fertile and conducive for the seed takes learning and discipline.

    This helps you build character. Now that you have character with time and endurance you will have nurtured and nourished your ideas and will give birth to your plans or project.

    Before you know it you will be reaping the fruits of your labour. The hardest part, however, is the nurturing and nourishing part.

    Every good thing takes time. Most of us do not want to endure the soil. We do not want the dirt being thrown at us. We want to skip from seed to fruit.

    Allow God to Be at the Centre of Your Plans

    The Bible says “For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future” – Jeremiah 29.

    Allowing God in my life has been huge for me. To me, it is clear that whatever plans we have before we implement them we must put them before God.

    Ultimately the Lord knows what he has planned for us. It is, therefore, imperative that we conform to the plans of the Lord for our lives.

    Allowing God to lead is just wonderful. Yes sometimes we miss it and get off target and yes sometimes things do not go as we want them.

    The bigger picture is that God knows what is best for us. I am human just like you and sometimes I question God when things are not going as I expect them. But I have learned to let God to be God in my life.

    The comforting thing is that God always makes a way where there seems to be no way. He has better plans for my life than I would ever know.

    God is a teacher and accepts anyone as they are. The beauty of following God is that it is at your own free will. He will never force you to obey or follow him.

    I have made mistakes and some of the things I have done am not proud of. But I know that he accepts me just the way I am and he can accept you just as you are if you call on him.

    Conclusion

    “Commit to the Lord whatever you do, and he will establish your plans” – Proverbs.

    Do not let those plans; those seeds that you have, go to waste. You have a duty or rather a responsibility to ensure that you do not deprive the world of them.

    Lastly, we should learn to give thanks and praise to the Lord because he gives us the opportunity to live and go on with our lives.

  • The Power of Letting Go: Freedom Starts with Forgiveness

    Human beings are social by nature. We depend on each other. Whether we want it or not. Whether by design or not. Whether we like it or not. We need each other.

    We all depend on each other and even though sometimes if not most of the time we come into conflict with each other. We were meant to co-exist.

    Though there can be a lot of friction when people clash, the most important thing and most important lesson to learn in life is having a spirit of forgiveness.

    Harbouring bitterness is poisonous to yourself. When you hate you hurt and block yourself from God’s blessings. You shield yourself from his grace.

    The question then is, why do you keep hating even when the person you hate has moved on and most of the time they don’t even know that you hate them?

    You have no moral right to keep hate in your heart. It just burdens you. It hurts your feelings. It’s stressful for nothing.

    Allow your heart to be free and experience true freedom. God created you to enjoy a peaceful life. You can never have peace when you are hurting inside.

    Hate is bondage. Forgiveness is freedom from bondage. You will never be free if you have a heart of unforgiveness. You wiĺl never experience full happiness if your heart is burdened with hate.

    The reality is that most of the time we keep hate for no real reason. Ask yourself why you hate someone and the reasons will be flimsy.

    God Forgave Us

    We have no reason to keep hurting in our hearts because God Almighty already forgave us at the cross. Every whip and tear he shed at the cross was for you and me.

    So who are we to keep hating each other when the creator of heaven and earth, the one who knows us inside out, already forgave us? He bore our infirmities and by his stripes we were healed.

    The Bible is always encouraging us to live in peace with one another. In fact it commands us to “love your neighbor as you love yourself.” Surely no one hates themselves. I have yet to come across a person who hates themselves.

    When we live in peace we are able to progress as humanity and we can help make the world a better place.

    The main source of conflicts today is people harboring hate against each other. People looking down upon each other thinking they are more superior than the other. People wanting to subdue each other.

    We can reduce wars and conflicts by sitting down on a round table and asking each other for forgiveness. In other words, sitting down and having honest conversations with each other.

    There is absolutely no need to fight both physically and mentally. Today, the world witnesses one of the bloodiest wars in the middle east in modern day history all for no real reason.

    It All Starts With You

    You have a huge part to play. The decisions you make today will definitely affect the outcome of so many things.

    You may not realise it but what you do today has an effect on the general well being of the world. You may be a small entity but you are part of the larger world family.

    If only you can do the right thing, you may just be one person but imagine if everyone of us did the right things. Just how much would the world benefit?

    Change starts with one person and it moves to the next and the next before you know it, it is all trending and the world is being changed and transformed.

    So don’t underestimate the power and the weight you carry. You are such an important component of the world at large.

    Remember that a population is made up of individuals that have an independent mind. Collectively we form a united population.

    It Frees You From Bondage

    You experience freedom and unburden your heart when you practice forgiveness. We all want to be shown love when we make mistakes. Why? Because we are human.

    It’s just human that we feel appreciated. Some need more love than others. It is our duty as human beings to forgive and show love to each other.

    This way we create a fertile environment and open our hearts for God’s blessings. There is nothing so soothing and refreshing than knowing that you have been forgiven.

    You cannot hope to succeed when you are carrying bitterness in your heart. Bitterness is poison.

    This is most common especially among us who call ourselves Christians. We like to have double standards. On one hand we preach God’s word on the other hand we are not living what we preach.

    Before you judge your friend, look at the life you are living. Give it a test by comparing it with the standard that has been set by the Christ you profess to follow.

    Does it fall short or is it in conformity with his standards then you have the right to judge your friend. Am sure that if we all did this we would not be judging one another instead we would be asking each other for forgiveness.

    To Err is Human

    If you are a human being you will always make mistakes. There is no one on this earth who is perfect. We all make mistakes.

    No one can claim to live a life that is without blemish. That is why we should all seek God’s help and guidance everyday.

    Believe it or not you get through the day by God’s grace. Without which you cannot make it. Whether you are a believer or not, God is so merciful and gracious to all. He lets the sun shine on all his creations. He has given each and everyone of us an equal opportunity.

    We have the opportunity to seek God’s guidance and forgiveness on a daily basis. He is not a God who forces things on his creation.

    He has given us free will to choose but remember that the choices you make have a large bearing on the results you desire.

    It is human to make mistakes. Don’t feel ashamed when you make mistakes, instead it is an opportunity to learn what not to do next time.

    We would never have learned as much without making mistakes. It is part of the growth process.

    It all Comes Down to You

    You make the final call. The ball is in your court. What you decide today has an effect on your future.

    The more good decisions you make the more influential you become and the more you impact the world in a positive way.

    Your legacy will be determined by the way you live your life; it is what people see that attracts them to you. You cannot expect to leave a good legacy if you are not good yourself.

    If they see negativity you will surely attract negative people around you. If you radiate positivity you will see positive people around you.

    The choice is yours to make. You have the final say of what you want to be.

    Conclusion

    The ultimate goal in life is to experience freedom. This can be achieved when you learn how to forgive.

  • 5 Reasons Why You Should Be Responsible For Your Life

    Life is what you make of it. If you make it happy you will enjoy happiness. If you make it boring you will definitely be bored; make it positive and you will live a positive life. You take out of life what you give it, nothing less and nothing more.

    In other words, you are responsible for your own life. You are responsible for creating the life that you want. You can chart the course of your life. No one has the right to prescribe what your life should be or look like, without your permission. This is your birth right and your responsibility.

    Quit blaming people for what you do not have or have not achieved and start doing something about it. If you are miserable you are solely responsible for ensuring that you change it.

    In the first place, you must realise that you are the one who got yourself where you are, based on the decisions and choices you have made.

    This is what many people do not realise, that it is everyone’s responsibility to make decisions that will help chart their own lives.

    Instead, they wait for someone to come and make decisions for them and they end up waiting for eternity or continue living a life that is controlled by other people.

    Do you realise that every decision you make has an immediate or future influence on your life? Your life is made of the small decisions and choices you make every day.

    That is why it is important to make the right decisions and choices that have a long lasting and positive influence on your life.

    As human beings, we have a tendency of turning a blind eye to facing the reality of making those tough decisions and choices. Especially, if the decisions will lead to some temporary setbacks. This is a bad habit that must be broken.

    If you do not make the decision to resolve certain problems, they have a way of showing up in the nearest future. It could just be the reason why certain things are going wrong in your life. Have the courage to make decisions and learn to live with the consequences.

    Do not shy away from making those uncomfortable hard decisions that could make or break your life. Do not allow people to take away your responsibility for your own life.

    Take Control of Your Destiny

    The results of being responsible for your life are many. When you are in control of your life, you also control your destiny. You decide what is good for you and what is not good for you.

    You decide what your life should look like, what direction it should take and what it should be. In other words, you are the captain of your life.

    Sometimes things will not go accordingly, but you will be absolutely pleased that you are responsible for everything that happens to your life because you made the decisions and choices yourself. The other thing you will take away is that you will have no one, but you to blame.

    Instead, you will find solutions to fix your current inadequacies and correct the situation. Equally, when you succeed you will take all the credit.

    Well, you know how it feels to be credited with success. This is what makes life worth living for, the ability to make adjustments and decisions that help propel your life forward.

    It doesn’t mean that things will be easy when you are in control, No. But it motivates you to do even more things that make you happy. You set your own goals and move at your own pace.

    Experience Personal Freedom

    Every good thing comes with a responsibility. Being responsible is a requisite for personal freedom. It’s an expression of personal freedom and signifies maturity. It is a good measure to use as a self-check to achieve personal development and self-improvement.

    There was a time son was learning about his rights as a child at school. One day when he came back home from school he was very excited to tell me about his rights, I asked him to list them down one by one.

    What I noticed is that he was not told by the teacher that to every right there is a responsibility. He was only told one side of the story.

    I got his list and also wrote down the responsibilities that go with the rights he had listed down. It then dawned on him that to every right he has, there is also a requirement to take responsibility in order to enjoy them rightfully.

    I think that is the way life should be. Personal freedom and responsibility go hand in hand. If you want to enjoy the freedom you must take responsibility for it.

    We must ensure that we put in place things that will enhance our freedom without infringing on other people’s freedoms. We must learn to coexist as human beings.

    Accountability

    Accountability is “responsibility to someone or for some activity.” If you are married you are responsible and accountable to your spouse. Yes, it is your responsibility to be accountable. I know that most men do not want to be accountable to their wives. But it is our responsibility and duty to do that.

    I believe that we are all accountable to one another not only to our spouses but to the community at large. How we live our lives is a reflection of how accountable we are.

    How then, can you be accountable if you are not in charge of your own life? I am a Christian and believe that one day God will ask us to give an account for our lives.

    Being accountable is being responsible. If you work for an Audit or Law firm you are taught to account for your time by way of filling in a timesheet on a regular basis.

    You have to be in control of your time because every minute you spend on a file is charged to the client. This is just one way of asking you to be responsible with your time. You do not want to overcharge a client and you also want to give the best advice or service possible.

    A Sense of Belonging

    You feel a sense of appreciation when you are contributing to a just cause. You can only contribute more when you are in control of yourself. Those who are totally in charge of their lives contribute more positively to society than those who are not in control of themselves.

    As you may well know, human beings are social by nature. Belonging is the feeling of security and support when there is a sense of acceptance, inclusion and identity for a member of a certain group. We all strive to be accepted socially because that is in our nature.

    Creating genuine feelings of belonging is a critical factor in improving engagement and performance. You should not trade your acceptance to a group by giving up your responsibility for your life. You have the power and will to choose what type of relationships to belong to.

    It Is Your Duty

    Your life is your responsibility. It is your duty to look after it and do what you feel is right with it. At the end of the day, it is you who will be answerable for it to your creator. You will stand in the “dock” and be answerable for how you spent it. What you did with it.

    Taking responsibility is acknowledging that you are taking control of your life, it is telling your friends and the world that you are in charge and not your spouse, father, mother, or anyone else.

    It brings out the best in you. It is your duty and your birthright to be in charge of yourself.

    Conclusion

    One of the most important aspects of taking responsibility for your life is that you will live your life according to your will. No one will live it for you and everything you accomplish will be duly credited to you.

    No one will take away the joy and the happiness you will experience. Make sure you are responsible for your life.

  • Don’t Give Up on Yourself, You Have a Second Chance

    Every day you wake up you are presented with a chance to impress. Not only yourself or your peers but the world at large.

    God always gives us a second chance to redeem ourselves. He knows that we are not perfect and that we are far from being perfect.

    He is such a merciful and wonderful God that he always gives us a second chance at life. That is why we should never give up when we are faced with temporary setbacks. 

    No matter what you have done or have not done in life, just know that there is always a second chance at life. 

    No one should deceive you that you can never get up and make it. Life has given us all an equal opportunity to succeed. Yes, some may seem like they are ahead. 

    But, no they are not, your time is coming if you can work it out, you will achieve your goals. They say that being ahead does not mean you will arrive first.

    You are not in competition with anyone. You are here to live your own life. You are not responsible for someone else’s life but yours alone.

    At the end of the day, you will be accountable for what you have done or have not done with your life. Not for anyone else but yours alone.

    Get Up and Get Going

    We all fall down at one point or another and that’s what life is, the only thing you can do when you fall is to get up and get going again. 

    When you are faced with adversity don’t be discouraged. When things are not going your way don’t give up. When you try and it seems there is no way, just keep pushing. Sometimes life gives you the unexpected.

    Those who succeed are those who never give up. Those who achieve more are those who overcome adversities. Those who live to tell the greatest stories are those who have been bruised and have overcome many adversities. 

    Remember that, it is impossible to move forward if you do not get up after you fall. Do not remain down, get up quickly and figure out what went wrong and resolve how to correct your current pitfalls.

    Learn from your failures and always make sure that, you avoid the same mistakes. Failure teaches us the things that we should not do. That is why I always say don’t be afraid to fail. It is part of the growth process.  

    If you are in a devious situation and you think that it’s the end of the world, you are mistaken there are many people out there in even more precarious situations than you are faced with.

    Maybe you don’t know that there is always someone in a much worse condition than you, you should know that today.

    Look at what you want to achieve. There is more that lies ahead of you than what you have accomplished so far. There is still more that needs to be done. 

    Look, God is not done with you, for as long as you have the breadth of life. He still has use for your life. So, get up and go and fulfil your God-given dreams.

    You Could Be the Solution

    The world is in need of people who come to offer solutions to the many challenges being faced. You could just be the answer to someone’s problems. 

    Always be ready to take advantage of what’s coming ahead no matter how little. Be prepared when the chance comes through. You do not want to be a statistic but counted among the people who contributed the most.

    Sometimes, we get discouraged or think that we can only contribute small things. But do you realise that it is the small contributions that make the big ones?

    Every effort you put into doing something does not go unnoticed. It may not mean as much for now but the more effort you make the closer you move to achieve your success.

    Your small contributions done regularly will result in big contributions. Don’t shy away and think that your contributions are not needed or do not count. Every small contribution when added up amounts to something significant.

    Small as they may seem they could just be the final bits to achieve success or help out someone. Remember that a journey of a thousand miles begins with one step. So take that step and begin the journey.

    Every step you take or make moves you closer to your target. Yes, sometimes you may deviate but ultimately with persistence and hard work you will achieve your goals.

    If you do not take action, nothing will change and nothing will be accomplished or achieved.

    You cannot just sit back and hope that things will work themselves out. You need to work them out yourself. Play your part and leave what you cannot do to God Almighty.

    Have Faith in Yourself

    Faith is what keeps us going. Faith is the evidence of things to come. Without faith there is very little we can accomplish. 

    You cannot achieve much if you don’t have faith in yourself. You cannot claim to have faith in God whom you have not seen and you have no faith in yourself, whom you see and feel every day.

    Create an atmosphere of having faith in your abilities even when the task at hand seems impossible. Remember the bible says “I can do all things possible through Christ who gives me strength.” 

    Have Faith that God will give you the strength to achieve your goals. But don’t just end at having faith. Back up your faith with your works.

    You can have as much faith as you want but without works, it amounts to nothing. The Bible says “faith without works is nothing.”

    The more faith you have, the more you will overcome what comes ahead of you. The more involved you are the more opportunities are created and presented to you. 

    Action creates opportunities. So the more action the more opportunities the less action the fewer the opportunities. 

    Develop an attitude of having faith in yourself and that the sky’s not the limit. If you believe you can do it, just go ahead and do it.

    Conclusion

    Life is dynamic and demands that we keep pressing to achieve our goals. Nothing comes on a silver platter. We work for our own breakthroughs and miracles by doing what is right. If you do not act, nothing will happen, life will pass you by.

  • How to Create a Long-Lasting Positive Self-Image

    “Life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself” ~ George Bernard Shaw.

    Before we start please get a piece of paper and write down the answer to the following questions. What do you think about yourself, what do you think your friends, colleagues and peers think about you?

    The answers of course will vary from individual to individual and will reflect what you think you radiate and transmit to your associates and peers.

    Galileo Galilei once said “you cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”

    What most of us do not know is that our positive spirit is the adventurer in us. It’s just a glimpse of what we are capable of doing. Yourself, image is the person you think you are. You are your own creation.

    When you carry a low self-image you attract into your life all the experiences and conditions that tell you how poor and pathetic you are.

    Conversely, when you are high in spirits you attract all the experiences telling you how great you are.

    When you have learned to form mental images of the conditions desired, it will be the easiest and quickest way to secure results; if not, results can be accomplished by argument, by the process of convincing yourself absolutely of the truth of your statement.

    Personal development and success have no room for a negative self-image. Which successful person have you ever seen carrying or putting on a low self-image?

    Have a Positive Mind

    “Whatever, the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve” ~ Napoleon Hill.

    Life requires us to put on a positive self-image. You see, everything begins with your mind. Have you ever noticed that when you have a positively inclined mind about something the results follow suit?

    If you have never observed this try to deliberately have a positive conscious mind about something good happening to you today.

    Believe me, just the thought will make you feel good and act positively.

    Imagine living in a society with positive-minded people. Individuals, who do not talk or act negatively towards each other, well it all starts with one person and that person is you.

    Creating a positive mind is one sure way of creating a positive self-image.

    With a positive self-image, even the people around you will be infected with it. This is the only disease you and I would be glad to spread.

    They will begin to treat you positively. Remember you attract what you think. The more ambitious and positive you think the more you attract those things that you will need to prosper.

    I agree that you may be distracted by temporal setbacks. But remember they are temporal and they offer us an opportunity to learn and grow from them.

    Imagine how boring life would be without challenges. Without having to sweat before sweet comes.

    Most of us especially the young generation, want to have sweet before we sweat. We want to cut corners and start enjoying good things where we did not sow, the end result is usually terrible.

    If God intended for us to enjoy everything at the same time he would have done that. But, then that’s not the case. That is why he gave us stages in life.

    First, you feed on your mother’s milk when you are a baby, before you graduate to feed on solids. You start small and as you learn to handle small things he increases your responsibilities.

    Some of us though, have remained and have not grown to handle larger responsibilities. This has mainly got to do with our mindset.

    Do you realise that we all have the same mind? It is the same mind that is in you and me. It is the same mind that has had great inventions.

    The difference between success and failure is how we have positioned our minds. What mental self-image do you carry in your mind?

    Having a positive mindset will definitely radiate a positive self-image.

    Act Positively

    They say actions speak louder than words. True to this is how you act in different situations.

    If you have to build a positive self-image then you have to act accordingly. Even when you have been challenged, be it physically or otherwise.

    A positive reaction attracts positive results. You cannot create a positive self-image just in your mind without reflecting on it.

    Your outward behaviour is a reflection or a mirror of your inner self. I always say that your outer reaction is an accumulation of your inner image.

    One always reveals themselves by how one reacts especially in challenging situations. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,

    Self-image can only be reflected by your actions. Therefore, it is very important to act positively if you have to create a positive self-image.

    Without action, there is no reaction. Imagine if all the great inventors did not act on their thoughts, we would not have been privileged to be using computers today later on the internet.

    Action is the key to every outcome. There would be no outcome without some action. Personal development and self-improvement requires us to act on the knowledge we accumulate.

    I don’t know about you but the knowledge I acquire is for sharing with the people I come into contact with including you reading this article. It is no use accumulating knowledge and not acting on it.

    The difference between success and failure is the lack of action or acting on the wrong side of the coin. Positive action will surely enhance your self-image.

    There are many situations that will come your way in life and will require your action. In this instance, your actions will be a reflection of your self-image.

    This is when it matters most, what you feed your mind. If your mind is not well fed it will be revealed. The bible says “as a man thinketh so is he in his heart.” Our thoughts are predominantly what we see, hear and read.

    “Watch your thoughts; they become your words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny” ~ Frank Outlaw.

    Renew Your Mind

    “You shall be transformed by the renewing of your mind” ~ the Bible.

    Nothing beats the renewing of your mind other than reading. It is by far the best way to renewing your mind. What you feed your mind is very important.

    From the time you are born to the time you grow up most of your character is a result of what has been fed to your mind.

    I will give an example if you grew up in a home where your parents fought every now and again you will most likely end up doing the same.

    It may not be your fault but your mind is conditioned that way. That is why it is important to feed your mind with the right stuff.

    If you are a parent PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING, especially with your spouse that sends a wrong self-image in front of your children.

    Their minds are like cameras; they never forget easily. Remember that they learn from us. We, as parents, are responsible for nourishing their fragile minds.

    I have given myself a target of reading one personal development and self-growth book every month this is beside the bible of course.

    I know this is not much of a target but at least I feed my mind positively. Believe me, reading especially the bible, helps to build my mind which in turn helps develop my self-image.

    I have always emphasised in my previous articles the importance of reading. If there is anything that you will not leave anyone with on this earth when you die, it is knowledge.

    Therefore, when you acquire knowledge it is your choice whether to keep it to yourself or share it. Please don’t be self-fish learn to share so as to make this world a better place.

    I am only saying this to emphasise the need to read. The Bible says “By wisdom the earth’s foundation was formed.”

    Wisdom is gained through knowledge and the main source of knowledge is reading. You cannot make a wise decision without having the knowledge.

    “If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest” ~ Benjamin Franklin.

    Conclusion

    Having a positive self-image can greatly accelerate your personal development and success process. We as human beings must always endeavour to improve our self-image after all we were created in the image of GOD.

    The more positive your self-image is the more confident you are, carrying about your daily life.

    This also gives you more confidence in achieving your, written-down life’s intended purpose. I know that there are many other ways that you can use to help improve your self-image. I would encourage you to take them one step at a time.

    Always remember that you are not in a race. Personal development is your own race and only move at the pace you set for yourself. You are not competing with anyone.

  • 5 Ways to Build Good Character for Yourself

    We all have skeletons in our closets. Some of the skeletons do not make us proud to look at. They remind us of the unpleasant bad past.

    There is no perfect individual on planet earth, non at all. Even the so-called righteous men and women of God have dark skeletons. Some are even, darker than can be imagined.

    However, there is room for all to live a changed life. What you did yesterday should not be allowed to discourage you from living a changed life.

    It should never be used as an excuse for refusing to do better. You can make a difference if you change the way of your life.

    You may not know it but we are role models for someone out there. Someone looks up to you. If you are a father or let me just say a parent, your children look up to you and it is your duty to bring them up in the right manner.

    I have made mistakes in my life, some of which am very embarrassed and ashamed to talk about. But you know what, I am ok with the mistakes because I cannot change them.

    I simply cannot change the past. I can only learn from the mistakes and move on and believe me, I have moved on and never going backwards.

    When I look back from where I’m coming from to where I am today, it can only be God and I am very grateful to him that he has allowed me to live a more decent and changed life.

    He has given me an opportunity for a fresh start. He has allowed me to write a new chapter in my life and I believe that there is a much bigger responsibility he has in stock for me.

    My focus for the remainder of my life is to help change the world for the better.

    Yes, there is so much more to work on, but my life is very different from what it was a few years back. I feel much more in control of myself and my well-being. It feels better to live like this.

    I feel God allows us to experience certain things for a reason. All those late nights I used to spend wasting away my life have helped me to stay late at night doing something constructive.

    You do not have to continue wasting your life away. You too can start living a positive and constructive life. There is room to change for all of us.

    Change the Way You Think

    They say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. You cannot change your past. The past is nothing but history. However, you can change the course of your future by changing the way you think.

    All meaningful and long-lasting change begins with a changed mindset. If you want to see and experience significant change, start with your mind. Change your mind and begin to live a much more positive and happy life. Start where you are.

    Be the change you would like to see in the world. Stop complaining about things being wrong. Do something about them, fix them for goodness sake.

    Have you noticed that people who do not have much are always complaining about what they do have?

    Start from your home, if something is not being done properly do it yourself rather than complain. If your house is not being cleaned to your standards, clean it yourself.

    All am trying to say is that do something to change the status quo.

    The mind is the factory of what comes out. You are what you think about most of the time. Your mind is capable of creating the right environment for you.

    Change Your Associations

    If you want to see yourself progress, take time to reflect on the kind of associations you have. The relationships we maintain have a huge impact on our lives.

    Relationships that are not handled properly can be a distraction to your personal development.

    The associations you keep have an influence on your life. Start with your friends because they have a bigger influence on your social life. They say birds of the same feather flock together.

    Some of the people we hang around with are not beneficial. They are toxic. Cut of all relationships that have a negative influence on your life.

    You cannot expect meaningful change when you continue going to the club with your old pals if the problem you have is clubbing.

    If you are in a toxic relationship you need to sort that one out. For those that are not married yet, and are in toxic relationships, my advice is to quit the relationship. It is not worth it.

    If you are a girl and have a boyfriend that mistreats you, leave him. Find someone else. He will never change even when he marries you, in fact, chances are that he will be worse.

    Spiritual Growth

    The church is a good place to be. Find a Bible Based Church. You will find God-fearing people that can help you grow. For me, church is about service to the people.

    There is no greater feeling of satisfaction you can get than what you get when you are of service. A good church always encourages its members to be of service. We serve without expectation. We serve because we enjoy serving.

    There are some good folks you can find in church that will help you grow spiritually. You like it or not, spirituality is necessary for complete personal growth and transformation.

    Look, believe it or not, there is a supreme being somewhere. For me, I believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and have found comfort in the church and reading the bible.

    Spiritual growth has many benefits, one of which is the growth of your faith and the promise of a better life.

    Have Self Control

    Self-control is the ability to restrain yourself from doing something adversely especially when you are emotionally charged.

    Learn to keep your emotions under control. Otherwise, you may end up doing something you will regret for the rest of your life.

    If you find yourself in an emotionally charged argument the best is to keep quiet and keep calm. Better still walk away. It is better to discuss when emotions have settled. That way you will be speaking with a cool head.

    Watch Your Words

    Watch your words and they become life. Be careful with what you say. They say words have life.

    The bible says “he spoke and it came to be.” I know that many of us have been careless with what we say especially when we are annoyed.

    But words truly have life, once spoken; you cannot reverse them. Yes, you may be sorry afterward but the damage would have already been done.

    Words are a direct expression of our feelings and emotions at a particular time.

    Make a decision every morning that you will not curse or swear during the day. That you will not be slanderous or say something that you do not mean.

    Make a decision that every word that comes from your mouth will be that of encouragement. It will not always go right but it is just the right thing to do.

    The magic word to use when you realise that you are wrong is I’m sorry, and please say it unconditionally.

    Conclusion

    Character is what defines a person. Change your ways and be of good character. There are many young people out there who need to be molded into young men and women with the character that can help change the world.

  • How to Enjoy the Journey of Your Life

    A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step in the right direction. Do not be discouraged by what you do not have. Your life’s journey is about to begin.

    “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” Ursula Le Guin.

    Today you begin to chart the course for the rest of your life. Forget about what you did not accomplish or achieve yesterday.

    What you do not have, should give you the motivation to move your life from where you are to where you want it to be. From The state of stagnation to a state of accomplishment.

    What you do not have, you cannot lose. The most important possessions you have right now are your life and your health. These are the two most important things you should worry about. Ensure you protect them at all costs.

    Many of us are living a life that we are not happy with. This should not discourage any of us from aiming to achieve more with our lives.

    You need to start from somewhere. You need to start from where you are. What lies ahead is more than what you have left behind.

    Your current situation or circumstances should instead give you motivation for working even harder to better your life. It will not be easy, but it can be done and it has been done before.

    Your source of encouragement should be, if someone has done it before then you can do it even better by learning from them because you are not reinventing the will but working with a proven method.

    Start From Where You Are

    Do not despise the days of your humble beginnings. Start with what you have and from where you are.

    Be dedicated to your cause and give it all you have. Regardless of what amount of resources you have, just get started. Along the way, you will learn to build more resources.

    Take stock of your current possessions, especially your personal skills set. You will be amazed to learn that you have far more than you thought you had. Your human capital is more than adequate to get you started.

    God has given all of us, unique talents to enable us to do something worthwhile with our lives. If only you can unlock them they are the gateway to a better and more fulfilling life for you. Life is much easier when you are doing what you love.

    If you have been waiting for the right moment to start,  today is that moment. It is the right time to take that leap of faith and move into the unknown.

    Today is the day you will look back with pride and appreciate that you took decisive action and stepped into the unknown.

    Your journey to conquer your fears and experience life begins with the step you are taking.

    Have courage and faith that you will enjoy your journey. Yes, there will be rough patches here and there, but with God by your side, you will triumph.

    Make Everyday Count

    Every day of your life is a blessing, make it count. You are the master of your soul. No one on this earth will make you happier than yourself.

    You are most happier when you are doing the things that you love doing. Time seems to stop when you are enjoying what you do.

    Enjoy these moments and make sure you do more of them very often. Life is too short to be sad. Make every day a special one.

    Not everything will go accordingly but decide to be happy regardless of the situation.

    You owe it to yourself to live a happy and fulfilling life. You are special in the eyes of God. Do not let anyone take that away from you.

    No one has the right to dictate or influence your current situation without your permission. Not even your spouse, your boyfriend, or whoever, they have absolutely no right without your permission.

    You cannot give an excuse that it was so and so who led me to do Something wrong. I find these excuses childish.

    If you are in the wrong place it is your choice. You can either stay or move, the choice is yours to make. But make sure to make the right choice.

    The best way we can contribute positively to humanity is by ensuring that our own lives are a reflection of what we want. If we profess Christianity people must see Christ living in us.

    We must be the change we want to see in the world. That change begins with you and I changing the way we think, the way we do things, and the way we treat others.

    Take Charge of Your Life

    You are responsible for your life. No one is answerable for your life. It is your right. If you think someone will give an account for you, then you are mistaken.

    Nature demands that each and every one of us account for our conduct. It also demands that we do the right things. I know that it is in our nature to do the right things.

    I also know that we have a tendency to do otherwise. God help us.
