Your MISSION Prt3.




Do you have a sense of Direction?

Any one who wants to grow but don't know himself will end up going through cycle in life says - John Maxwell

To go forward in life, you must know yourself : your strength and weaknesses, your interests and opportunities.

You must be able to gauge not only where you've been, but where you are now. Otherwise you can't set a course for where you want to go.

To reach your full potential, you must know where you want to go and where you currently are. With both of those pieces of information you're liable to get lost.

There are three kinds of people when it comes to having a sense of direction in life.

1. People who don't know what they would like to do
- these people are often confused. They lack a strong sense of purpose. They don't possess a sense of direction for their lives. If they are growing, they are unfocused about it they dabble. They drift. They can't reach their potential because they have no idea what to shoot for.

2. People who know what they would like to do but don't do it.
- These people are usually frustrated, everyday they experience the gap between where they are and where they want to be. Sometimes they aren't doing what they want because of fear of losing. They are not ready to pay the price to learn, grow and move forward. No matter what the reason, they too miss their potential.

YOUR FUTURE ( TIME )

If you work a full-time job, you see your coworkers, clients, and customers more than you see your family every week. In the end, jobs and people come and go, so do NOT take your family for granted. It’s important to cherish the time you have with your loved ones as much as possible. They should be a priority in your life. But creating and maintaining strong relationships, family or otherwise, is not always easy, which is why I've created this week's blog post... Start here if you want better relationships: do-this-if-you-want-better-relationships Here’s something else I want you to think about when it comes to making the best use of the time that you have. There are 4 rules of time:     Time is perishable - It cannot be saved, only spent. So the only thing you can do with it is spend it differently. Allocate some of that time to your loved ones.     Time is indispensable - Everything you decide to do, even looking out the window or sleeping in a few e...

Financial Success 3

MONEY: WHAT I WISH I KNEW 15 YEARS AGO I've wanted to do this for a while. Following the recent economic upheavals in our nation, many have desperately searched for ways to hammer. Some have been unfortunate victims of get-rich-quick schemes. I wish someone had told me fifteen years ago what I'm going to tell you now about money: 1. Money is seasonal. It comes and goes. This is not my first recession. I've worked for over fifteen years, so I've seen at least two major "recessions" in Nigeria; times when my clients tightened their belts, prices of basic goods & food skyrocketed and my standard of living plummeted. But the interesting thing is this - before the times of lack came, there was a period when money just seemed to flow. New jobs came, new ideas came and with them, a steady stream of income. It is what I did in those times of plenty (whether I invested or not) that determined how much I suffered during the bleak times. Pay attention to yo...

If you can lead yourself and younger ones well, you can lead others as well. All goals and objectives are achievable with unwavering determination, resilience and persistence. However, determination, resilience and persistence, are all test of time. For we to be agents of transformation, we must be ready to sacrifices our time and enough of other valuable resource, together we can Everyone has the potential to be a leader, only few knows this and only a small amount of those few has answer the called to leadership.  A follower is not a leader, but a potential leader waiting to discover himself. A leader take the lead, he dose what is needful and others take the initiative and follow, one who give orders and stand aside is a supervisor and manager not excellent leader. A E- leader don't point at a problem, a leader take the lead, create initiative to solve the problem not complain about it. Leaders are builders, they work to make things better than they met it.
