OVERCOMING CHALLENGES ON YOUR JOURNEY OF SUCCESS

In life if you have decided to join the success club, you must also know that success is the most bumpy journey to travel. It has a lot of ups and downs and sometimes it will make you feel like you can't do that anymore and you will want to drop from the bus and go back. Every successful person has passed through that phase where he feels that everything is falling apart and sometimes regrets why he chose to be successful, he would have stayed normal instead of persuing the dream. Truth is success is not an easy road to travel through because  a lot will happen to you in order to put obstacles in your way and even some obstacles might seem bigger than you. But there only one things which you can persevere in your journey of success, is controlling your EMOTIONS.

If you want to be successful then you have to be a great master of your emotions because if you can't handle your emotions then getting where you want to be is so difficult. Many challenges are going to come your way and face you but they can only take you down if you allow them to rule over your emotions. Most people get discouraged along the way because they are weak in emotions. You can't be successful if you can't rule emotions.

It's true you will face a lot of challenges on your way but what matters most is how you respond to what happens around. Because the enviroment has no single impact on you unless you allow it to. How you respond to situations is very vital and that's part of controlling your emotions. Your emotions creates the same reality which looks like it. The more you are able to master your emotions the more you will develop the spirit of overcomer and build down easy way to your destiny.
\

How do you learn to control your emotion then?!,..you learn to control your emotions by being positive in every challenge you face and respond to it in a positive way with actions. If you face a challenge of giving up be positive that you are going to make it and act that way.

HOW TO FIGHT WORST ENEMY OF YOUR DREAMS.

Hi friends i know it's been a while since i published last article. I have started my CHOOSE TO BE A SUCCESS UNIVERSITIES TOUR so have been moving around but here we are again hahahaha. Today i want to share with you about how you can attack your worst enemy of your dreams. You know everyone has a dream on this earth but unfortunately few of them get to the end of their dreams. Many have remained to be wishers because they have failed to overcome this enemy which is called FEAR.

Fear has put most of people in a prison of not accomplishing their dreams. Fear has killed more dreams than you can imagine but you know what, when i was thinking why it has so much power like that, i found the real truth which you will be amazed at.

As you may think that fear is real, well is not because fear is the state of mind nothing more than that. The only place you can find fear is in your mind. Fear is formed from 2 things
i)From experiences you passed through
-There might be experiences you passed like tough times now this situation might inject you with fear of doing anything good which comes with that same overall.

ii)From experiences we see others passing through
-It's true you might witness someone closer to you going through some hard moments this might also build fear in you.

The worst thing is when fear grows in you it runs directly to your vital place called thoughts. Thoughts are very powerful and can change your life totally. What you always think is what you become. If you let fear climb your thoughts then your life will be of defeat always. So how do you eliminate fear in you?!..i have prepared simple steps which you can practice over and over again.

STEP 1:

Ø  Take a notebook

Ø  Write the list of all your fears(Be honest with yourself)

Ø  In each fear you have written below it write present positive thought i.e Am afraid of speaking in public---àAm speaking in public (When you write in present positive thought it helps you to feel that you have already overcome and this will sparkle your will power to overcome).

Ø  In each fear commit one week to visualize the present positive thought you have written

Ø  During the week choose a day and time you can take action and face your fear

                        

STEP 2:

Examine and write down the level of your fear between 1-10 .The only key to know the real level of fear you are in is to be honest with yourself don’t try to play tricks because you will be fooling yourself. These levels are explained in words which are very funny to show the state of fear you have. Reason I have put this is to make you engage inform of your sentences to talk to your fears which will help you to develop more determination to eliminate all of your fears.

LEVEL                                                      STATE

1                                                                                                               Read to rock n roll baby.

2                                                                                                               Watch me making it.

3                                                                                                               On your face fool

4                                                                                                               Surprised uuh?!

5                                                                                                               Almost there

6                                                                                                               Keep pushing

7                                                                                                               Freedom is the must

8                                                                                                               I must overcome

9                                                                                                               I will go even harder

10                                                                                                          Aaarggh!!. i still can’t do it

Repeat the process till you reach level 1. Hope this will be good for you enjoy!!

ENJOY EVERYDAY LIFE.

Back at the days i used to think that in order to enjoy everyday life you must have plenty of money, to go nice places in town, having a lot of friends. Well in reality it was just day dreaming because it has never happened the way i imagined. But till yesterday when i was reading the bible i found a great secret on how you can always enjoy your days from january to december, because is until you learn to enjoy the day you will never be successful or see any opportunities. You will never have a sense of calmness and focus to work on your dream because you will be always under stress and pressure. So i want to share with you this verse and tell you about things i learnt,

1 Timothy 6:17-19 (NIV)

¹⁷ Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment.

So let's focus on the last sentence which says but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. What a wonderful God!..it made me fired up with unexplainable joy. In this sentence i want to show you 2 thoughts God has for you.

i) God always wants to be happy. 
This is running in God's mind always that he created to you to be happy. God's always thinks good of you and will never dare to let anything bad happens to you. I always wonder how some people tend to take it on God when bad things happen to them but the God i know can never do that to you because he loves you beyond words. He always think of the ways he can make you happy and put smile on your face. You have to know that and appreciate.

ii) Learn to have gratitude in everything.
When you know God loves you and he always plan to make you happy then he expects you  to learn to receive each day and make the most fun out of it. It doesn't matter how you woke up or how miserable you are but the fact that you have not learnt how to enjoy the day things will never change. Learn to live joyous life everyday is the life you were created for. Even though things may not be the way you wanted them to be but if you learn to see things the way God sees them then you will develop an attitude of gratitude in each situation. See life is simple and full of happiness if you decide to see it that way and learn to enjoy everyday of your life.

WHOSE OPINION ARE YOU LIVING IN?!

Remember life is full of choices we make everyday. We are products of our own choices and the results we are getting today come from the choices we made long ago,yesterday or today. But always these choices will come handy with opinions. You will make choices of your life based on whose opinion  you are living in at that moment. There are 2 kinds of opinions which people live in.

i) Opinion of others.
This is where biggest percentage of people live in today. Reason why people are not happy with their lives, have low self esteem, fail always is because they have let others people's opinions to take over  control of their lives. The reasons you are not where you want to be is because you have allowed others who have failed to accomplish anything for themselves to affect your life with their opinions. I don't say opinions of others are not important but what i mean is you have to find right opinions from right people because right opinions will always build you to become what you were meant to become. But most of people are blindly folded and feed on every opinion comes their way. Other people have no control over you unless you allow them. If you are going to consider opinion of others first analyze it and see what good it can add to you life or if not leave it.

ii) Opinion of yourself.
Keep in mind that change starts from you. The opinion you have about yourself will determine how people will relate to you and perceive you in daily basis. You can't have an opinion of weakness about yourself  and expect people to see  you strong, you can't have an opinion of a failure and expect people to see  you as a winner, that's impossible. The opinion you have about yourself matters alot than you think. Because you are going to be ruled and controlled by opinions you have about yourself. That's why you wonder many a people can't fulfill their dreams, they just let them die inside because opinion of fear is  controlling them. Make sure you always have positive opinions about yourself no matter what happens, never lose it.

                                Because your life matters most on your opinions.

START WHERE YOU ARE WITH WHAT YOU HAVE.

Any success starts from one step to move from where you are to your destiny. People always wait to become big to start something,  but bad news is they wait for eternity and nothing happens. I used to think that too and sometimes i would make my plans and tell myself  that i will wait until i reach certain level and start. But it was totally wrong because as long as i waited, i was increasingly loosing hopes and faith in my dreams.

Listen, success starts form where you are right now, it doesn't matter where you come from, how small you are to start but there is the right place to start with combined with your intense desire to succeed. Since i was in high school i dreamt about owning companies all over the world and i had mastered the principal of thinking big but missed the principle of starting small. So it was hard for me to start my big dreams because i waited to be big to begin. But when i realized that you can think big and start small immediately i took actions.

So i had to start my first company but without any quality equipments required. I only had a half screened computer as you see and that is what i started with as my office. As you read this article am using that computer to write my blog posts. I know some people may think is awkward but you know what i started where i am with what i have and i have managed to touch people's lives with my half screened computer. Sometimes what you need is right next to you but you don't see.

If i had waited till i get nice office in town i wouldn't be writting this to you right now. What you see there is my office and it's in my room but is where i have started moving on towards my dreams. I don't know about you may be you might be better than or worse than me but what matters if you have a dream start where you are with what you have that's all you need. Your dream or success is built by amount of small steps and processes till it becomes they way you imagined it. You have to start where you are with what you have.

WHAT DO YOU CALL LIFE.

God did not give us to life but he gave life to us which means he gave us to control and make it follow our directions and orders. But unfortunately it has been other way around, that life controls many of us. You don't want to experience when life makes you  its' slave which many people are. Is very tough play you will encounter. You have seen many people become victims of life for nothing to an extent they give up without knowing they are bosses of the life they are serving. Life can be hard or simple depending on how you name it or call it.

Life has alot to do with how you call it because of the following 2 reasons.

i) What you call life is how you will see it.
This is very factual thing to most people who are failures or successful in this world. Especially people who are champions in life they are very careful on how they call things around their lives because they know it has the power to alter their destinies. You can't call life  hard then you expect it to be simple for you no!..you can't call life is poor and expect to live  richly because how you call things changes totally on how you see them and it gives you equal results to what you called it. You might have been complaining so much about how things are not going so well in your life but real problem is check first how did you call it..

ii) How you see life is how you will relate to it.
How you see life also influences how you relate to it. If you see life is full of problems you will relate to it in problematic way. You wonder why you can't be successful at anything?!, is because they way you relate to it is from failures paradigm. Wonder why you are successful?..is because you relate to life as full of opportunities and possibilities.

 As i always say is very possible to change your life if you decide to because the life you have is supposed to be your slave not your master. You have to take full control of it in order to be where you want to be. Is your choice and only you can make that choice. Life is meant to enjoyable and full of happiness as we fulfill our purposes and dreams. But is going to be so if you take control of it and change how you call it.

AWAKENING THE GIANT IN YOU.

Inside of you lies a greatest person you have never imagined in your life time. It's sad to watch how people look down on themselves while they are capable than they think. Yesterday i was discussing something with my friends but one of them made a very desperate comment "in this world no one is special" and all people agreed with her, what a misleading comment. I believe one things God created everyone of us special because he is special, so he couldn't make anything less than him. In each one of us there is a giant which God has purposefully positioned for our greatness. The world is for us to own it but this comes only by letting our giants to be awaken. Here are 2 ways you can awake the giant in you.

i) You have to know there is giant in you.
The first thing to greatness is when a man comes into understanding of himself. One thing you should  know is God didn't create losers or failures because he is not one. Everything which was made by God is powerful and has great potential. You are not an ordinary person than you think you are. Problem is you have let people to define who you are and honestly people will only project their lives into yours. Don't let enviroment shape who you are. Your enviroment is supposed to follow your lead not you following it's lead. There is a giant of music talent, leadership, business waiting to be awakened by you, you have to know that. The world is waiting for you.

ii) Cast away your fears.
Only one way is guaranteed for your giant to be dormant is the fear of awakening him. No fear can ever produce greatness in you. The reason you were created as giant but living the life of weakness is because of fear. Fear is the enemy of your giant inside you. You have to be a daring character and take risks if you want to live champion's life. What is your greatest fear?!..then let it be the greatest catalyst for your greatness in life, because your success lies behind your fears. Turn your fears into advantage, ladder to where you were meant to be.

Fear exists only in your mind but it can be a greatest obstacle if you let it grow, it's your choice.

TIME TO RISE UP.

Today i don't want to teach you anything but i want to inspire you. Do you know that you were created for  greatness?!..do you know that you are more than you think?!...ooh, you don't believe me?!. Yeah it's true  you are one of the unique people in the world, special you. Listen not for moment did God create awful things no, everything made by God is very special including you.

You know you have been in the pits for a long time now it's time you need to shine the world your light.Look within you for a second, you have everything you need to succeed. God made you full equipped and ready for success. You have talents in you why can't you use them?!..you have great potential why don"t you utilize them. Or because you are fearing?!, you know what , fear is just state of mind. Don't ever allow your past experiences to take you down who you were meant to be. We all pass through some tough times but those times are there to make us grow not fail.

The world is waiting for you to show up, it doesn't matter where you are, how you are but what matters is for you to rise up and show what you got. Where you are is the good place to start the journey to your great destiny before you. You don't need to be big to start but you need to rise up and start. I know you have visions, dreams which you think they can't be fulfilled since they look stupid, but  know this always what we call stupidity turns out to be knowledge and wisdom. It is possible to achieve whatever you want in life you just have to rise where you are and get busy. Decide today to rise up and go out there become great. Many lives depend on your arrival so that they can be changed but you are still wondering here and ther, move. You have failed to rise up because you let people control your life, now it's you need to be the boss of your own life. Get up and become the real you.

HOW TO CONQUER FEAR.

HOW TO INFLUENCE THE WORLD.

The world is most beautiful place to be living in but it has to have people who are willing to make it a better place everyday. And the people it needs is those who are willing to live their lives to change others to become better people. You might be among the people who longed to influence the world from what you do. It is possible you can be among the champions the world will  celebrate but you have first to know what kind of person it wants because to be a catalyst of change is wonderful things but you have to know the principals of influencing the world. There 3 principals to follow if you want to influence the world.

i)Do you have a dreams?!
The dream am talking here is not the when you go to sleep at night no!..the dream am talking here is that which is practicle and intended to change enviroment from the way it was to a way it is supposed to be. Am talking about the dream which is transformational like sort of mandela, martin luther king. The world needs people with  dreams that's how you are going to influence it and i know you also have a dream. These great people we celebrate today they started with the dream to change the world, also you can do that but question is do you have a dream?!....Only a real dreamer will be received with open hands of the world. Don't accept to die with your dream because it is important to the world. Some lives are waiting to be changed just because of your dream. Never allow people to tell you that your dream is foolish because those dreams we call foolish are the ones which change the world.

ii) Believe in your dream.
One of the things which you need to do in order to gain world's trust is believing in your dream. No one will believe your dream if you don't believe in it. Believing is contagious, it affects people around and force them to take the same way you are going. Those who influence the world believed that they can influence it that's why they were successful in whatever they initiated. You are the one who gives the first entrance ticket to your dreams then the world follows. Believe in what you have inside is very important, very important. When you believe in your dream it increases your faith, makes you see possibilities and makes you persevere in all storms. Just believe it and the world will have no option than to follow you.

 

iii) Act on your dream.
Nothing influencial will happen if there is no action on it. Every thing happens in reality because it's put into work. You can have a very huge dream but you lack actions it won't help you. People who want to influence the world know that after having a dream they need to get their hands dirty to make it happen and that's only way no short cut around. You either take it or leave it.

You have no excuse rather than getting results only. You have to put in everything you have to make it happen.

HOW TO GET WHAT YOU WANT IN LIFE..

Hey...how are you doing today my friend?!...do you know is very easy to have everything you want in life?!..If you want a good house,car, job,business, or anything is very easy to get. Now i know right now you may be wondering like "is this guy serious?!", ooh yeah i am serious. I know you might be saying now "i have been trying to succeed for years but i couldn't" , well sorry for disappointments but is because you didn't know the principle of success. This principal is called " what you see is what you possess" and this lesson we can learn best from Abram in the bible. Come on let's look at it.

Genesis 13:14-18 (NIV)

¹⁴ The Lord said to Abram after Lot had parted from him, “Look around from where you are, to the north and south, to the east and west. ¹⁵ All the land that you see I will give to you and your offspring^[a] forever. ¹⁶ I will make your offspring like the dust of the earth, so that if anyone could count the dust, then your offspring could be counted. ¹⁷ Go, walk through the length and breadth of the land, for I am giving it to you.”
¹⁸ So Abram went to live near the great trees of Mamre at Hebron, where he pitched his tents. There he built an altar to the Lord.

If you normally read bible then you will understand well the man called Abram and what was his problem. The greatest desire of Abram was to get a child because he was at his old days without a child. So God appeared to him and promised  to make him father of nations but according to what facts said about him, he couldn't believe that he can be a father of nations. So God knew this and he had to train him how to see that's where the scripture kicks in.

God already blessed Abram but he also knew that those blessings can never reach him in reality unless he learns to see them first, if he couldn't see he couldn't possess them even though he was already in full ownership of them.  That's when he took him to the land and started training him how to see things first before he possessed them. Now that's what applies in our lives, you always want to become successful but you can't  is because you have not seen success already. You can't have what you don't see in life. Is until you see that's when  you own, now you want to be a big business man/woman in the world, okay question is do you see yourself as a big business man/woman in the world?!..you want to the best doctor, mum,dad or anything question still is do you see yourself being so?!..

This is very fundamental principal i learnt from the bible and it has helped a lot in my life. Now you may ask yourself that "how do i see success then?!"..well here is the secret.

On this passage the bible teaches how to see things we want before possessing them. How do we see them?..well before we own our dreams first we start seeing them in our souls or spirits. Our spirits are the first place where we get things we want, if you fail to see a business in your spirit don't expect to see it in your hands. Why so?

Proverbs 4:23 (KJV)

²³ Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life. Here the word "heart"  is used as figurative language indicating the "spirit". Bible says our spirits are issues of life that means everything you ever wanted in your life is in your spirit. If you want to live the reality of your dream you have to see it first from your spirit. No wonder you are a failure because that's what you saw and possessed. You have to learn to see things from your spirit first that's when you can possess them.

QUESTION IS TODAY:  What do you see?!! .

3 KINDS OF MINDSET.

Well, in the last post we looked at mindset and it's meaning. We also looked how it is formed and works. Is good to know how your mindset operate but is not good enough because you have to know in which type of mindset do you operate on. When you know the type of mindset you have is easy to re-direct your life to a better angle. I want to share with in short the three types of mindsets as follows,

i) FIXED MINDSET.
As it sounds, this is type of mindset which is stagnant in one place. Is mindset where it refuses to expand it's own horizons. It is stuck in only one type of belief, thought and mental attitude. The danger of this kind of mindset is that it forces you to stay within your limits and make you feel comfortable when you are not growing. The most common characteristic of this mindset is fear of moving out of your comfort zone. The person in this category can never achieve anything great because he is afraid and scared, because great achievements need a dynamic mindset not static. So if your stuck in a fixed mindset of being ordinary when a person comes and motivate you to be more than ordinary chances are you will see him/her as enemy because you are comfortable staying as a failure.

ii) GROWTH MINDSET.
This is one of my favorate and i advice you to build yourself in this type of mindset because is where success,greatness and winners are born. This type of mindset allows you to grow everyday to reach your full potential and accomplish your dreams. This mindset allows to expand your territory through learning from others, your experiences. This mindset makes you strive to become a better person each day in your life. It doesn't allow stagnancy but allows dynamic well being of your life. Mind you though, the greatest enemy of this mindset is wrong friends, wrong thoughts, don't invite them in your life at all because they are poisonous. To grow this mindset you need right people and thoughts in you.

iii) DOUBLE MINDSET.
Now this is most dangerous mindset of all because it leaves you in dilemma. One of the valuable asset it will rob you is your FOCUS. That's why it's called double, it blinds you of what you want and you can't make any decision in life. I guess you have ever come across such kind of people when you ask them about their vision,dreams and hope, what they will tell you is they don't know what the future holds for them. Is so sad to live in this kind of mindset because you will never be happy at all. People in this agony don't know what they want, they just live for the sake of living.

NOTE:  Well till now you know in which type of mindset you are. My advise is if you are in fixed or double mindset, is time to shift to growth mindset which is the best place you can learn and grow to become what you were meant to become.

CHANGE YOUR MINDSET CHANGE YOUR LIFE.

Among the things you are supposed to be careful with is your mindset because our mindsets shape our worlds. The quality of your mindset will determine the quality of your life. The life you are living today is the result of your mindset of yesterday. You may be wondering why your life is the way it is, but all that came from your mindset.

Our mindsets make us, our mindsets break us, our mindsets build us, our mindsets destroy us you have to be very watchful with it. Now let's look at it in details.

What is mindset?

Now in this definition there 3 important things being put across.

i)Belief.

be·lief

noun \bə-ˈlēf\

: a feeling of being sure that someone or something exists or that something is true. If you are life is not going well the first place to check is your belief. Belief is a strong thing which exists inside everyone of us and  is the foundation of how we will live our entire lives and how we will conduct and lead our lives. If you are born in a belief where it tells you that being wealthy is evil then through your entire life you won't dare to become wealthy and probably you will hate rich people. If you are born in a belief where there is inferiority complex then you won't be able to go beyond your limitations because you are formed into a circle of fear and failure. If you are born in a belief where they see success,possibilities and opportunities then your life will be expanding to the best everyday. Don't start checking the results of why you are living the life of failures, first check the belief behind the results. Our beliefs are obtained from only 2 places
i) From our family backgrounds
ii)From our own personal experiences

Good news is you can change your belief from poverty to wealthy, failure to success, loser to winner, inferior to superior, it is possible my friend and it all starts with you. You don't have to be a slave of your family's belief or your unfortunate circumstance belief no!..you can change it today just decide from now on you are not going to be conformed to your loser's belief, failure's belief and shift to new foundation of winning and success belief.

 

ii) Thoughts

thought¹

noun

1.

the product of mental activity; that which one thinks :

a body of thought.

2.

a single act or product of thinking; idea or notion:

to collect one's thoughts.

It says thoughts are product of thinking , now how are  thoughts formed?!!...well your thoughts are formed by belief. So if your belief is poverty then what you will be thinking always is poverty and that's what you will become a poor person. Your thoughts are very powerful because they can create a reality equal to them. There 2 kinds of thoughts

i) Constructive thoughts: These kind of thoughts allow you to grow and build yourself positively through allowing positive things,idea,conversation to enter in you,

ii)Destructive thoughts: These kind of thoughts can't allow you to grow and are very dangerous, poisonous. They don't let you reach your potentials and become what you were meant to become. They can only attack you when you always let negative things take control of your life.

See how powerful your thoughts are?...so you have to choose what to think each and everyday. Before allowing any thought to enter inside you measure the effect it will have in you.

iii) Mental Attitude.

a complex mental state involving beliefs and feelings and values and dispositions to act in certain ways.

So this falls in sequential order, your belief and thoughts will determine how you will respond to things outside you. Look the way you act everyday if is fear then you have to go back to belief and thoughts. So is easy to know in which condition you are, simply by looking the way you act. Am repeating again it's possible you can change your life just decide and when you do start changing from inside-out.

IN SUMMARY;  Formular of your life success/failure.

               .

              .  .  LIFE = BELIEF + THOUGHT + MENTAL ATTITUDE.
