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...
