Simon's Nugget: Love and commitment are the keys of kicking starting any change process.

ACTIVATE YOUR SENSE

ACTIVATE YOUR SENSE We all were given brains to process things before acting on them, but it is sad to note that from the way most people behave, you are tempted to ask, if they have brains? Our brains was put in us to think through things   to become better persons and also make our world a better place. The people that rule the world today are those that make good use of their brains to bring about development and progress to our world. Like Pharm Isaac Onoja rightly said, the certificate you have gotten is only a minimum qualification for you to start thinking. In view of this, the certificates you have garnered should not make you lazy, rather it should help you make good use of your brains. All that you desire to be can be achieved when you make good use of your brain. Maximally use it and stop under using it. Also, before taking in any information or adopting it, process it in other words, edit it to be sure it is what you need and is valuable to your life. ...

THE BIG IS IN THE SMALL

THE BIG IS IN THE SMALL The title I used is a statement credited to Pastor Sarah Omakwu and it talks about the power of doing little things and it is on this note, I want to talk to us on something very important. I want to talk about TO DO LIST. To begin with, what is a to do list? It is simply a list that contains in a written form list of what we hope to do or tasks we want to achieve either on daily, weekly or monthly basis. Now that you know what it means, let's move on... I know that many of us have big goals that we are pursuing, but get frustrated when they are not achieved. Base on our upbringing, we are wired to look at bigger things and motivational speakers have further made matter complicated by preaching messages on dreaming big, making it big and so on. Our society affirms this expectation by celebrating those who have made it big and they tend to look down at those who are still playing at a smaller level. However, not all of us would have that o...

Be Responsible

BE RESPONSIBLE It is becoming a norm in our society to put blames on others for what is happening to us that is most times unpleasant. It is also a norm  for the society to blame her leaders for what she is going through. Everywhere you turn to  when something happens, you see people looking for who to blame for it. However, for everything you see that has happened or is happening today in our lives, society and the world at large have our direct or indirect contributions to it. I can see your reaction or the expression on your face right now reading this, but it is true. What we have been doing over the years is to live in denial about this fact. You are largely responsible for your life and how it turns out to be, whether positive or negative and not your parents or the society you live in. As a citizen, if your country is not doing well, you are largely responsible for it and not the leadership. Your active participation or indifference is the reason why the ...

LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE

LEADERSHIP BY EXAMPLE In one of my posts here I wrote about "leadership by design" I spoke that we all are born leaders. In this post, I want to take the discuss further by adding another perspective to it. According to John Maxwell, he said that "leadership is influence" meaning that if you have influence over anyone you are a leader. However, my question to you is, what kind of leader are you? Are you the kind of leader that talks one thing but does another? Are you the type that does not practice what he or she teaches? You see, until you are a leader that leads by example, your leadership may not be effective. Leadership by example builds trust for you in the minds of those you are leading. It shows them that you are a person with character. It also shows that you are feeling what they are feeling. The reason why many don't take your leadership seriously is because you are not leading by example. Leading by example also make those you are le...

Be compassionate

BE COMPASSIONATE We live in a world where the difficulties of living in our times has made people so occupied with themselves that they care less about others. People are so carried away with the care for themselves that they bother to know what happens about the next person. The above is the reason why people developed what is called "entitlement mentality". The mindset is inspired largely by selfishness and love for self. The mindset is the reason why people would prefer to get everything for free than pay for them. It has made people move around with "unconscious hate" for the next person. To change the above narrative, we need to cultivate the habit of compassion. Being compassionate will help you look out for the good of others than yourself. Having a compassionate heart will help make our world a better place and move us from the place of difficulties to a place where things are a bit better and working well. Being compassionate will inspire you...

Why do you want to be in front?

WHY DO YOU WANT TO BE IN FRONT? Everybody want to be in front, in other words everyone desires to be a success in the endeavor they are involved in. A lot of persons want to be known for something and that's why they do everything that needs to be done to achieve this aim. The major reason why you wake up everyday and you do the things you do is to make something meaningful out of life and the reason for making something meaningful is to be seen or recognized. This desire could be conscious or unconscious, but it is something in every one. However, the question is, what is your motive for being on the front line? Motive is key in every human endeavor. It determines whether you will be happy through what you do or not. It also determines the zeal or passion with which you will do what you are doing. Why are you doing what you are doing? Is it for money alone or for both money and impact? Like someone rightly puts it "if all you are living for is for money, you ar...

A LEADER BY DESIGN

A LEADER BY DESIGN Hey there! You have always been a leader but you just didn't know it. When He (the Almighty) created you He deposited in you all you need to be in charge of your life and your world, that's why when He was done creating you, He made pronouncement that you should dominate and fill the earth. You reading this right now, do you know that you have been a leader all your life, you just didn't know it. No matter the level you are at right now, you are a leader so long as you know something someone else doesn't know or you have  influence over someone or some persons. You don't need to be appointed a leader before exercising your leadership role. The easiest way to begin your leadership role is to start by leading yourself. However, to effectively lead yourself and others, you must develop your leadership skills. Developing your leadership skill gives you an edge over those that didn't develop theirs. Our world is in dare need of lea...

Be Generous

BE GENEROUS I know some or most of you are  familiar with the word generosity. The question is this, are you generous? I know we are in an economic state where being generous is perceived to be stupidity especially by economist. Due to the hardship that seem to exist, the normal reaction to this situation would be to hold on to whatever is it you have and only release it when it is extremely necessary, as being generous is perceived to be a factor that could lead to poverty or lack to the human mind. Though the above might seem to be true base on scientific proofs, on the flip side is the part of faith in other words, the part of the spiritual that states that the more you give, the more you receive. The Almighty in His abundance nature has given us all things to enjoy, but beyond that, He has deposited in us more than enough so that we can bless others. Let me further break it down... The secret of having and living in abundance is  generosity. The Holy book st...

MOVE ON

MOVE ON Most persons are of the habit of staying put in a condition that is doing them more harm than good. It is for that same reason that they are not experiencing any improvement in their lives and it makes me wonder why they should remain in something doing them more harm than good. I remembered several years ago, I was working for an organization. At first, the experience was good, but toward the time of my exit, I started feeling uncomfortable remaining in that organization and the signs were everywhere for me to quit, but the fear of what would happen if I quit the job hindered me. Cut long story short, I eventually left through an unpleasant situation, but I was glad that I left, because my life started making sense afterwards. It was after I left too that I discovered my purpose in life. My dear brother or sister, why stay put in that injurious relationship hoping that it may get better when it is clear to you that things won't get better? Why remain in that emp...

Letter to mentees

LETTER TO MENTEES Dear Mentee, I want to first appreciate you for deciding to take your life a bit more seriously by committing to a mentor. I commend you for doing so, because among several others who have desires to be successful in life, you are among the few that have decided to take a step further to know how to succeed. However, there are certain things I want you to know about mentorship. Mentorship is a two way traffic and so your input and that of your mentor is required for any success to be recorded. Also, don't approach your mentors with an entitlement mindset, rather, approach them with the attitude of gratitude and humility. Furthermore, don't be a pest to your mentors, rather find ways to help them even if it requires you paying for the services they are offering you. In conclusion, instead of only going for freebies, opt to pay instead to encourage your mentors to continue the good work they are doing. Lest I forget, before signing up for any mentor...

The Menaca of Drugs

Image
My Observation Series THE MENACE OF DRUG AND DRUG ADDICTION The recent reports about the high prevalence of drug abuse and addiction among youths in some states in the northern part of Nigeria, calls for concern and immediate actions to be taken by all to stop it. These epidemic is what has accounted for the increase in crimes and criminality and if nothing is done urgently, it might escalate to something disastrous that would be hard to be stopped. For the purpose of clarity, let's define what drug abuse and addiction is. Drug abuse is simply the use of drugs without, below or beyond description. On the other hand, drug addiction is taking drugs without a reason or being addicted to it. Now that we know what drug abuse and addiction is, what are their causes... They include: Peer group pressure. Lost of family values. Relegation of parental duties to caregivers. Lack of parental or societal love. Lack of vigilance. Etc. There are several other reasons to...

BURN THAT BRIDGE

My Observation Series BURN THOSE BRIDGES I notice something and it is really funny and it has to do with how people boast of their educational qualifications that has not translated to anything meaningful. Education is only a bridge to a destination and not the destination. Some persons have made their educational qualifications stand between them and their blessings in life. You might ask, how? I'll tell you... When you give some persons the  opportunity to work let's say a job with salary that may not be in their own eyes attractive, they  turn the offer down, claiming that their educational status does not befit such salary and so can't do it. What these persons fail to know is that there is something called 'experience' and it is required in the so called 'lucrative job' they are looking for and taking up such opportunities will give them that. For others, you give them the opportunity to learn a skill or trade, they will tell you things l...

SUCCESS IS UNIVERSAL

My Observation series SUCCESS IS NOT A RESPECTER OF AGE, SEX, RELIGION AND RACE. Today, I stumbled into one of my mentors' post where she mentioned her age, what she's been through and how she is still strong and all... I was shocked at her age, because judging by her age and achievements, I was thinking she is older than I am and to think that she is a woman(like we would say in Nigeria) Now, I didn't say all that to shine the spotlight on her matter or make her feel somehow, but I said all that to make the point below... Success respects the hard work + smart work, diligence, and others you are willing to put in. Success is universal and not gender or age sensitive and so if anyone pays the price to succeed, they sure will. I have seen older people succeed in the field they are involved in and on the other hand also, I have seen younger persons like my mentor succeed where older persons have failed. By the way, my mentor is a best selling author, internat...

KNOWLEDGE IS DANGEROUS

My Observation Series KNOWING TOO MUCH IS DANGEROUS Hey! Don't get it twisted, knowledge is very good and lots of it is even better as it stands you out among your peers or equals. There is even a saying that knowledge is power and I believe it too and having lots of it makes you powerful. However, we are a generation that is opportune to know so much because we happen to find ourselves in the information age, where information is at our beck and call.  How come despite our knowledge and even lots of it, we are still poor, behind and frustrated? I think the reason is simple.... We know so much and we do too little with what we know. In case you don't know, know this today that like a water that stinks because it isn't flowing so would you start stinking(irritating people) because you have not created outlets for what you by putting into good use what you know. Also, the knowledge that empowers you is not the knowledge that you store up, rather it is the one...
MY OBSERVATION SERIES As I was putting together my previous post together, a forwarded message was sent to me by someone I can't remember chatting with before. Personally, I feel it is really inappropriate to do so. Atleast courtesy demands that you greet someone first before you push a message to them. Aside that GET THIS CLEAR THAT PUSHING PRAYERS TO PEOPLE AND THREATENING THEM TO SAY AMEN AND FORWARDING IT TO OTHERS IS NOT A YARDSTICK FOR GOD TO DO SOMETHING FOR YOU, PLEASE READ YOUR HOLY BOOKS WELL. Learn to be creative by writing something genuine from your heart and send to people. If you must send something forwarded to you to another person, PLEASE LET IT BE SOMETHING THAT WILL BETTER MAKE THEM BETTER, BUT BEFORE DOING SO, GREET THEM FIRST. I don't know about you, as for me I don't take people engaged in such acts seriously. Lest I forget, learn to be original, because the world sef don tire for fake people. By the way, forwarded messages are those me...

Observation series

MY OBSERVATION SERIES I remembered jogging one morning and a thought dropped in my mind and the thought was about how exercising relates to business. Don't get it twisted, follow me carefully as I explain it what I mean... Most of us engage in physical exercise for different reasons, some to keep fit, some to loose weight, some to add some abs, and the host of other reasons. No matter the reason we have for engaging in exercise, one factor that is needed and peculiar to all is PATIENCE. You see, you don't just step out on the first day and achieve your desires, you patiently follow the process prescribed by an expert to achieve your goals. In like manner also, you must learn to PATIENTLY FOLLOW THE PROCESS OF GROWING YOUR BUSINESS OR WHATEVER IT IS YOU SET AS GOALS TO ACHIEVE. Don't get carried away by all the sharp sharp ways of doing things flying around today. You still need patience to go through a process to build your business or career and the reason is ...

Mind whose counsel you seek Rehoboam after being made the King due to the death of king Solomon, decided to seek counsel on how to lead the people.  The first set of counselors came and they gave him wise counsel but the second group came and counseled him otherwise. He decided to follow the wrong counsel given to him and it was recorded that the kingdom divided as a result. Lesson Not all counsel will help you, some are given with the intention of destroying your dreams. My take Instead seeking counsels that will destroy you or your dreams, pray to God and follow your instinct. Reference: 1kings 12:1-19. Simon O Matthew.

Opinions

OPINIONS Earlier today I asked a question on Facebook about whose opinion one would  take either that of a business coach or that of a successful business person and the answers I got were amazing. Some went for that of a business coach, while majority went for that of a successful business person. Going by the reasons behind their answers, both answers are correct. Reasons... That someone is successful doesn't automatically make them an authority in art of teaching principles of success in business. On the other hand, that someone knows all the theories on how to succeed in business does not make them an automatic authority to teach success in business. Am I getting you confused? Calm down and follow me carefully. Experience is one of the keys in business. It is one thing to be taught how to do business and it is totally a different thing to put them into practice. What you were taught in business school or by a coach may not be totally applicable on the field. E.g s...

Happy democracy day Nigeria

LESSONS FOR DEMOCRACY DAY Democracy day in Nigeria is a day set aside in Nigeria every year to celebrate the coming back to Democratic system of governance in Nigeria. Despite the way it has been practiced in Nigeria, it is still for me better than military rule as one is guaranteed protection of their fundamental human rights under a democratic dispensation. Aside the guarantee of protection of one's human rights, it also gives one the privilege of aspiring to be anything you want to be, provided it is legal. Democracy depicts freedom meaning that it is a system where freedom is guaranteed. Thinking about democracy, what comes to my mind is that God is the Author of democracy. How? You may want to ask For the singular fact that he made man as a free moral agent, makes me believe that democracy originates from God. However, despite our freedom to choose or do what we want to do, how come we are still living below ideal standards? Why aren't we up there yet eith...

Child training

ON CHILDREN'S DAY Yesterday we had a service that was a little bit different as it was a service dedicated to celebrate children. It was characterized by activities such as children singing to us, a short stage play, children reeling out what they want from their children and a short exhortation on training children in a Godly way. However, the reason for this post is to highlight two activities that stood out and which applies to everyone that have children or hope to have children someday. One of the highlights was the part where children were asked to tell their parents what they wanted from them and if you permit me, I will share some with you and they are these: *They want their parents to spend more time with them. *They should take them to school more often and bring them back, not assigning someone else to do that. *Fathers should love their mothers more and not turn them to punching bags. *Their parents should be good to their neighbors and not be trouble mak...

Revelation

REVELATION Earlier today I asked an interesting question about who God is. I asked the question to remind you or awaken your consciousness about God, because in our pursuit for things we tend to get carried away by the cares of this world that we forget His existence. From the answers I got, some said that God is Yahweh, provider, all in all and other great things and they are all correct and in fact God is even much more than that. However, who God is to you personally by revelation and experience would determine the kind of life you would live. Like Christ asked His disciples about who people say He is and Peter's answer to Him of who Jesus is to Him, it is your revelation of Who God is to you that will influence your life. To further push this matter, it is the revelation of who God is to you by experience and living according to that revelation that will translate to your being empowered to live according to His purpose on earth. Caution: the revelation of who God ...

Responding

Image
RESPONDING Often a lot of us pay little or no attention to the all important issue of responding and it has landed us into places we lest desire. When we are faced with the issues of life or opposition from people, how do we react to it? I often tell people that how you respond to challenges or confrontation is what matters and not the confrontation itself. So mind how you react. Your reactions are what would determine how you will be judged and not necessarily the cause. The next time you want to react or respond to any issue, first think about the consequences of your reaction before carrying it out. When life throws challenges at you or when you are confronted by an opposition, respond with the right attitude. Don't allow the actions to determine your response, rather be in charge of your emotions and respond positively. Simon O Matthew.

Divine purpose

DIVINE PURPOSE I trust you all are doing great? In the service today, we listened to a powerful sermon and I thought it wise to share some thoughts with you on it. God deliberately handpicked you to become the best seller that you are, a sought after local or international speaker that you are, a big business man or woman that you are, a rich and famous person that you are, the highly intelligent person that you are, and so many other great things. He made you all that for a purpose or for others some purposes and enquiring from Him to know those reasons is the key to your fulfilment in life. You see you can be known and rich and even super successful in the eyes of the world and still be miserable on the inside. God made you all that for you to carry out His purpose and until you find it/them out, you may just be merely existing and not living. Have you found out your purpose? Have a fruitful week ahead. Simon O Matthew.

God made you all that for you to carry out His purpose and until you find it/them out, you may just be merely existing and not living. Have you found out your purpose? Have a fruitful week ahead. Simon O Matthew.

Move forward

MOVE ON Often times we get carried away by the success we've achieved that we are tempted to just relax and also feel there is no more work to be done. However, the truth dear friend is that achieving success in one deal only helps in opening doors for other deals to be pursued and achieved, because the more the success the more responsibilities you acquire and so you need to achieve more successes to keep up with these needs and wants. You not wired to be a one time success alone, you are wired to be keep succeeding but it depends on your willingness to quickly move forward after any success is recorded. Have you wondered why the wealthiest guys among us today are still chasing more deals, it is because they have realised that if they don't keep succeeding, they will soon become history and irrelevant with time. Likewise you, if you have succeeded in having a successful launch, MOVE FORWARD AND DON'T REMAIN THERE AS THERE ARE STILL MORE VICTORIES TO BE WON. MOVE O...

You have a reason

YOU HAVE A REASON You have reasons for doing these: Drop bad habits to pick up good ones, Damn your fears to launch those great ideas, Stop procrastinating and start doing, Stop being lazy and start being hardworking, Pick up your pen or tab and start writing that book, Stop complaining about things that are not working and start appreciating things that are working, Step out of your comfort zone, Discover and pursue your purpose, Stop complaining about problems and start providing solutions, Do everything possible to be educated, Do something about your poverty status, Expand your business......... Some people or someone out there is the reason why you must get up and do something as not doing it may deprive them of what the Master has deposited in you for them. Get up and do something. Simon O Matthew

What's New?

WHAT'S NEW? Today as I was reading John Mason's book titled "Why ask why" I came across an interesting chapter that has a title in the form of a question, what's new? It really got me thinking and I thought to share some of my thoughts with you. By the way, it's been a while I put up an article here and the reason is because I have been busy lately working on my book which I launched yesterday. Back to the matter at hand.... In the course of reading that particular chapter I saw something very interesting that John Mason said and which is "you'll get more out of every part of your life if you stay incurably curious" implying that the extent to which your life would be is dependent on how you are willing to enquire and dig deeper inside of you to bring news things out. God is in His infinite power has endowed us with all that we need to be all He wants us to be on earth, but the problem is that we allow our little mind to limit us. On...

Stop Cheating

STOP CHEATING!!! Hopping from one partner to the other is not the best. Stick to one partner and do all you can to make him or her happy. The truth is this There is no partner that is baggage free, meaning that they all are linked to one challenge or the other. Sticking to one partner by being faithful is what will give you real happiness. Cheating is very expensive as you would need to go the extra mile to make your multiple partners happy...though happiness in this case is not certain. Some people think that having multiple partners makes one happy, but in reality, it is an erroneous belief. Give that relationship your best, exhaust every avenue to make it work before calling it quit in the event that things seems adamant to working out. Ooops!!! Wait a minute!!! Do you think that I'm referring to romantic relationships? If that's what you think I'm referring to, well it's not. I'm referring to your relationship with your dream. Now that y...

Respond

RESPOND Hello. I trust you had a great Easter celebration? Welcome to yet another chapter in the book called 2018. Today, I want to share with you on responding. In the scheme of events or happenings, what matters is not necessarily the gravity of the issue or challenge but how you respond to it or them. How you respond to issues will determine whether they can would be resolved or not. Note: All problems or challenges have solutions. In the course of study, I discovered a good way of responding to issues and it was exemplified by Jesus Christ. When confronted with challenges, He spoke solutions to them. In a situation where there are doubters, He addressed those doubts by rebuking their unbelief and ensure there is faith planted first before speaking solutions. One thing I noticed He never did was to recount the problem or lament about it. For instance, when His disciples approached Him when they are in the boat and faced with the storm, He addressed the storm(problem) an...

Before you fire them

BEFORE YOU FIRE THEM In the course doing business, I discovered some things some business owners or bosses do that I feel it is an anomaly. # One of the things I discovered is lack of  adequately training their employees. If you don't train them, don't blame them. The people you hire to manage your business should be properly trained if you want them to function well in your business. It's laughable anytime I see how employers feel that monies spent to train their employees is a waste. It is rather part of the investment you make as a business owner to achieve maximum benefits from your business, so it is not a waste. If you can't spend money to train your employees, you are not ready to do business or maximize profit. Also, you have not moral right to make demands of them to be productive. # Another thing I discovered is lack of proper communication of the vision of a business. Most businesses or ideal ones are built on or are guided by visions and so so...

Don't be shy to ask for help

ASK FOR HELP There is a saying that if you want to go faster go alone, but if you want to go farther get others to go along with you. In view of the above, I wish to share with us about seeking help. Help in other words is assistance. You see, at some point in your life, you would need the help of others to get to point or through a situation, no matter your status. However, what I find funny with some people is their cold attitude towards persons that want to render one form of assistance or the other to them. They feel they don't need any help to get to where they want to get to or get through a situation. They feel they are all sufficient and so can do things all by themselves. Seeking assistance or help to get certain things done is not a sign of weakness, but a sign of maturity and strength. It takes strength or boldness to ask others for help. It is also a sign of wisdom. The Almighty in His infinite wisdom made us all dependent on one another no matter how suc...

Watch your words

WATCH WHAT YOU SAY When you read the creation story, you will appreciate the power of words. Through spoken words, the Creator created the world and all that exist in it. Whatever He wanted to see in existence, He speak them into existence. Likewise we, whatever we are or would become  largely depend on the things we have spoken or would speak on our lives. Words are simply an expression of the contents of our heart (conscious and sub conscious mind). Words carry power. Whatever we pronounce into the universe, it is under obligation to bring it/them to pass. We must mind what we speak. If you must speak at all, speak deliberately and carefully. You can create the kind of world and life you want to live and live in with your words. Whatever damage you may have done with your words, you need words to also counter it or fix it. Don't be hasty with your words. Don't allow untamed emotions make you say things you will not be proud of down the road. Stop saying thi...

A new chapter

Reflect on this Two months down and less than ten months to go. The question is, what have you achieved so far this year? Should you not have anything to show so far, all hope is not still lost as you still have beginning from today to begin the process of achieving something meaningful. It's the beginning of a new month, the beginning of chapter three of 2018. It doesn't matter what stories you may have written in the first two chapters, the stories you would write in this chapter maybe the banger you need to open doors for you. Don't be afraid to express yourself. Be bold, go all out and make this chapter count. Have a blessed month ahead. Simon O Matthew

Principles and Godliness

PRINCIPLES AND GODLINESS In the course of living, I have seen people who have lived and are living. Some are living life to the fullest, while others are living below average or merely existing. I tried to investigate the reasons behind these types of living and what I found out is what I would share with you below. The first sets of persons I discovered were those that live by certain principles. They dig out principles concerning certain endeavors and live by them and guess what... they become super successful in those endeavors irrespective of what they believe in (as per religion or faith). The thing about principles is that they are Divine blue prints guiding endeavors and the Almighty respects them and rewards those that live by them. That accounts for why some are super rich or successful with little or no knowledge of God(experience). Secondly, on a higher level is Godliness. What is Godliness? It is simply living Godly lifestyle or living in accordance to His will....
