Hello friends, it's so good knowing that you're there reading my blog posts, You are my Dream-lifters!Yeah...in life we have Dream-lifters and Dream-killers! Someday, we'll talk about them...infact I'll do a Double Dose(DD) today, just to make up for yesterday's absence.
Continuing on our discussion on The Power Principle of Time, I have come to know, that when people respect your time, they will respect your wisdom. The currency of this world is time...infact time is so important that literally everything we do on earth is time-based. Your job is time based, your age is time based, the calenda is time based, even eternity that is a period that is actually endless is still qualified as time-less,...you see, time is still mentioned there!.
So, I want to ask a thought provoking question of this sort: "what do you do with your time?", after working hours, what do you do with your time? What's your idea of leisure? Do you keep your appointments? If we are to fix a meeting for 4.00 pm, will you be there 3.45 pm or 4.45 pm?...hmm...I just wonder.
See, friends, I have come to realise that people judge you most of the time by your respect of time...yeah!...as shocking as it seems and as trivial as you may put it...people describe you and form an opinion about you with your respect to time. If you think am tripping, come to work 10.00 am for 5 days...then you'l tell me the story.
In concluding for the now...I love to say this " Time is the currency of life, everybody is blessed with a fresh dose of it everyday...the amount of hours you have in a day is the amount of useful ones used to develop yourself for your glorious future". Your thoughts and comments are welcome and highly treasured. I love y'all, and TAKE CHARGE!

THINK BIG! - Keys to Success (Part 3)
Hello friends, hope you were inspired by the earlier post today, since today is friday, I've decided to make it a double dose of "Inspiring Moments" with John Obuku. Now let us finish what we started two days ago; the concluding part of Dr Ben Carson's THINK BIG acronym for success in ones choosen field of endeavour and life in general. The excerpts from the book Gifted Hands:
THINK BIG
K= KNOWLEDGE
Knowledge is the key to independent living. The key to all your dreams, hopes and apirations If you are knowledgeable, particularly more knowledgeable than anybody else in a field, you become invaluable and write your own ticket.
B= BOOKS
I emphasize that active leaning from reading is better than passive learning such as listening to lectures or watching television. When you read, your mind must work by taking in letters and connecting them to form words. Words make themselves into thoughts and concepts. Developing good reading habits is something like being a champion weightlifter. The champion didn't go into the gym one day and start lifting 500 pounds. He toned his muscles,beginning with lighter weights, always building up, preparing for more. It's the same thing with intellectual feats. We develop our minds by reading, by thinking, by figuring out things for ourselves.
I= IN-DEPTH LEARNING
Superficial learners cram for exams but know nothing two weeks later. In-depth learners find that the acquired knowledge becomes a part of them. They understand more about themselves and their world. They keep building on prior understanding by piling on new information.
G= GOD
Never get too big for God. Never drop God out of your life
Wow! At last, I think the learned Professor summed it up the way I would really have loved to, never , never get too big for God or think that you can achieve anything significant and end well without the Manufacturer of your soul. He is God and most especially, He's our father, our source, the giver of that burining dream in your heart.
And here's what He's got to say to that your burning desire...YOU CAN MAKE IT...IT IS REAL...GO FOR IT!...YOU CANNOT FAIL. So friends, henceforth, start living the THINK BIG! Life style...stay blessed and TAKE CHARGE!

THE POWER PRINCIPLE OF TIME
Good day friends, I will like to rush this thought to you before we continue our discussion on THINK BIG. I have come to know that anything significant can only be achieved if The Power Principle of Time is strictly adhered to.
The currency of the world is time...You are paid in your job for the time you spend there, if you come late, you are querried orally, if it becomes a persistent and consistent habit, you are given an official querry that you must answer, and that in itself is derogatory to your profile.
Dr Mike Murdock once said "Someone who does not respect your time will not respect your wisdom". The proof of relationship and love is an investment of time...relationships will be severed and withered if there is disrespect of time...the depth of love in a relationship is measured in terms of time spent together.
You can only do well in something you love if you invest enough time in it. Every great feat that had been achieved in history are as a result of volumnuous investment of time. I want to ask you, "what do you spend most of your time on? What consumes your time the most? After working hours how do you spend your time?...I just wonder.
In concluding this series for now...I'll love to say this " Disregard of the power principle of time is disregard of your glorious and awesome future"....Stay connected and as I usually say...TAKE CHARGE!

THINK BIG- Keys to Success (Part 2)
Good day friends, wow!...am always excited whenever I have the priviledge to write on this blog knowing that you'll read and be blessed by it...yeah...very very excited. Words can't really describe the great feelings of estacy and humility that fills me right now. Thanks for visiting.
This website was created with you in mind. Shiv Khera in his best selling book "You Can Win" defined Motivation as " to encourage and inspire,igniting the spark of action and the motive for action",this website is about that, and I hope I'll be able to inspire you into action and take that step, that leap, that significant move you've been postponing for sometime, and create something of great significance that would benefit the whole world.
Yeah, now back to the topic we started yesterday, THINK BIG by Dr Ben Carson, our world reknown neuro-surgeon, so let's get some of the excerpts from the book Gifted Hands:
THINK BIG
H also = HONESTY
When you do anything dishonest you must do something else dishonest to cover up, and your life becomes hopelessly complex. The same with telling lies. If you're honest, you don't have to remember what you said the last time. Speaking the truth each time makes life amazingly simple.
I = INSIGHT
Listen and learn from people who have already been where you want to go. Benefit from their mistakes instead of repeating them. Read good books like the Bible because they open up new worlds of understanding.
N= NICE
Be nice to people-- all people. If you're nice to people, they'll be nice to you. It takes much less energy to be nice than it does to be mean. Being kind,friendly, and helpful takes less energy and relieves much of he pressure.
In concluding this part for now...(we'll round it up tomorow)...I'd love to say this, "your daily habits and routines should be moving you towards your goals and vision for your life, what have you been doing since this week that significantly contributes to your future?"....THINK BIG! and TAKE CHARGE!

THINK BIG! -The Secret to Success
I just picked a book recently,by now you all know am a voracious reader, I love books, good quality books. The title is Gifted Hands by the world reknowned Ben Carson M.D., the first man to successfully separate a Siamese twins. He said some things that I would like to share with you, I find it very very profound and informative and these are what I love us to talk about today.
A little boy asked him, " what is the key to your success?" and here is what he said: "it wasn't a new question. I'd heard it so many times that I finally worked out an acrostic (acronym) answer. He then said to the boy "Think Big". Think Big is an acronym for 10 key steps for success, according to this highly reputable doctor, and 10 in scriptures means Completeness...I find this very profound and informative.
THINK BIG
T= TALENT
Learn to recognise and accept your God-given talents (and we all have them). Develop those talents and use them in the career you choose. Remembering T for talents puts you far ahead of the game if you take advantage of what God gives you.
T aslo = TIME
Learn the importance of time. When you are always on time, people can depend on you. You prove your trustworthiness. Learn not to waste time, because time is money and time is effort. Time usage is also a talent. God gives some the people the ability to manage time. The rest of us have to learn how. And we can!
H= HOPE
Don't go around with a long face,expecting something bad to happen. Anticipate good things, watch for them.
In concluding this for now...I'll say this, according to our Manual (which is actually a Kingdom Document),from our Manufacturer(our creator,our father, God), "for as he thinks in his heart, so is he.." other tranlations put it as "as a man thinketh so is he" Prov 23:7. Do you Think Big of yourself?. TAKE CHARGE!

WHAT DRIVES YOUR LIFE?
This is another important factor that actually determines how far we go in life. Drives are what fuels our actions, the reason why we do certain things, it could also be defined as passion. Your drive in life will tell me your purpose, it would indicate the centre of what you are all about. So, I ask, what drives your life?
Is your drive money,(yeah that's a big one), is your drive based on how much wealth you can gather? Is your drive just based on the fact that you want to become a millionaire? Pastor Matthew Ashimolowo said "the proof of burning desire is the actions you carry out". Your drive wakes you up in the morning, your drive is that thing you habitually do, that if you've not done for a day, you feel as if your sick. Your drive determines when you go to bed and when you wake up.
You should be sincere with yourself and really sit down and define your drives. For instance, my drives are music, Gospel music, I can't do without listening to Sammie Okposo, Donnie McClurkin, Kirk Franklin, Juanita Bynum,Women of Faith,Cece Winnans,Bene Winnans and a host of others everyday, yeah, you heard me rigth everyday!
And also, Motivational tapes from Myles Munroe, T.D. Jakes,Matthew Ashimolowo,Brain Tracy, John C. Maxwell etc. Wow! Boy! These things are my daily drives...I can't do without singing on top of my voice every morning...Jesus I can't do without that...these are my drives, they fire me up for the task ahead of each day!
Friends, find your drive and experience a new sense of living and direction for all you do, and I'll like to close this talk with the words of Dr Mike Murdock( King Solomon of our time) "Loneliness is the absence of direction"....I believe in your dream...TAKE CHARGE!

WHAT IS YOUR PURPOSE (Part 2)
Today is a significant day, it's the first day of the last quarter of the year 2009 A.D. I think it's a very significant day because any wise individual should sit down and access his or her progress for the first two quarters of the year. Have you achieve all you've set out to do? On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you score yourself in terms of attainment of personal and corporate goals?
I believe every 1st of every month should be used as a period of "Inward Analysis" because someone once said..."an unexamined life is a useless life to life". So, one of the most fundamental ways in which one examines his or her life is to ask this question: What have I acheived for today? What did I acheive in the past week,month,quarter and year? I believe we should be ever improving and moving forward towards our goals and aspirations in life.
Now, back to the topic on discussion, "What is your purpose?"...this like I said yesterday is one of the most fundamental questions you would ever ask yourself in life. There are many ways to identify your purpose in life. According to Dr Mike Murdock, your purpose is the same thing as your assingment and he said "You are here on Assignment. Everything God created is a solution to a problem. Your eyes see. Your ears hear. Mothers solve emotional problems. Dentists solve teeth problems. Lawyers solve legal problems. Accountants solve tax and financial reporting problems."
I would love to end this post with this, still from the Solomon of our generation, Dr Mike Murdock, "Your assignment on the earth is to solve a problem for somebody, somewhere and receive a reward for it".
There are businesses hidden within you, schools and higher institutions of learning within you, there are Cybercafes and beauty houses within you. Only discover them and bring them alive to this physical earth. Don't deny me of my goods and blessings that you carry! Please...dont leave a long ripe old age on earth without fulfilling your purpose because buried within you are treasures unlimited. Wow! you are too loaded that if God should tell you what you carry you will not believe.
I believe in your assignment, find it and let's enjoy the sweet fruit that it bears and it would definately bless the whole world. Take charge!
