Hello friends it's always a pleasure to hear from you guys I really do enjoy posting on this blog and thanks for your comments and contributions! It's a lovely day and we're goona really enjoy ourselves this time, infact, everyday is a good day!
The last statement above should be our lifestyle! You should have a strong positive outlook to life! That I've come to discover is the secret to success! Success really starts from the mind! I've been doing lots of reading lately and all the books, I mean every single one of them, usually start with a statement like this: "you've got to change your thinking in other to change your life!", " your thoughts create your reality", I mean every single one of them usually say this! I think that is very profound.
Throughout history, all great leaders,philosophers and scientists have always agreed on this singular subject of the power of our thoughts on the outcomes we produce in our lives! In other words, thoughts becomes things! What you focus on grows and eventually materializes in your life! whether good or bad! This may sound shocking but it's the absolute truth! What you focus on most of the time would eventually come to pass in your life! It's only a matter of time, where it be positive or negative!
So really, the secret to success is in this little statement : you become what you think about most of the time! I repeat again for emphasis, "your thoughts becomes things!". So, I enjoin you to do this henceforth, change your thinking pattern for the better, have a positive outlook on life. One of the great life coaches we have around today, Art Williams, said "life would give you what you demand of it!" You would get what you deserve not just what you wish! Hmmm... I think that is very powerful! Please ponder on this statement, and I'll see you in the next post! Enjoy!
Selah!

Live life with the conscious act of making a great impact to your direct sphere of influence. Be a positive change agent. What would you be known for? What are you known for? What is your legacy for your children,community and country?
9) Live A Life of Integrity And Honour.
Your yes should be yes, even if it means displeasing yourself to honour others, do it! It gives you honour and high esteem amongst your peers and those connected to you.
10) Make Your Family, Your Nation and Your Continent and Your God Proud.
Your life should be lived in such a way that it brings glory to your family,nation,continent and God. These groups should look at you and say "yes this is our son, in whom we are well please!".
Wow! That was some mind-blowing stuff over there, please go through the whole ten again, and endeavour you build your life on these principles and truly our Nation Nigeria would turn out to be " the most desirable nation to live in by the year 2025", God bless y'all.

4) Be The Best In All You Do

THE REAL YOU: Re-discovering who you really are!
Hello friends, it's always my pleasure to come online and post on this very inspiring forum and share my thoughts of certain issues I find interesting and hope would also interest you. I wanna say thanks to y'all that have been sending your texts,comments and phone calls on how you've been blessed. I do not take them lightly! Thanks for believing in my dream! I am so so grateful!
Yeah!...everyday I see possibilities and the birthing of something great which would soon hit the market with such force that people won't know what hit them! Just watch out and stay on this blog with me. It promises to be a life-changing affair! In these series on "Inspiring Moments with John Obuku", I'll like to go a little spiritual on certain issues, because I've found that throughout history, the truly great men have a strong spiritual centre to which they draw strenght and inspirations.
My strength comes from Jehovah!, sorry to damage your theology or belief system, but hey...listen,listen, you cannot achieve long lasting success that transcends generation without having God on your side! Lets take a roll call on the anals of history, the world greats and legends almost everyone quotes in motivational circles have a very very strong link with God! Dale Carnegie, Henry Ford, Albert Einstein,Wright Brothers,Bill Gates,Jim Rohn,Les Brown,Myles Munroe,Sam Adeyemi,Bishop David Oyedepo,Bishop T.D. Jakes,Pastor Paul Adefarasin etc and the list go on...they all have God as the centre of their lives and strength.
The real you is captured in this very simple statement that many take for granted,you might even miss it when I mention very soon, and here is it: "you are a child of God!",that's it...does it make any meaning to you? I really hope it does... because buried in that simple statement is the whole essence of your life as a human being and it can actually propel you to the next level you are looking for!
We'll talk more on this in the next series on this particular topic.
Selah!

MIND SET MAINTENANCE
Hello friends, hope you've really been blessed and being blessed every time we meet here on "Inspiring Moments", I have to confess that these series have really really changed my life for the better;everyday I see possibilities for a brighter tomorrow! This should be your outlook on life!
Yeah,today we are going to talk about something very very vital, something that actually determines how things turn out in your life. Today's topic is really the main determinant of your success in life! Hmmm...just hang on with me there...you may be saying, "Now John! You've really gone too far now!", but hold on friends, let me land. Your mind set determines who you are, what you do,how you dress, the friends you keep and where you are ultimately heading towards!
Honestly, I wish I could pick up a micro-phone and stand on the highest stage available to tell you and whoever cares to listen that " your mind set ultimately determines how you're gonna spend the rest of your life-whether in riches,joy,peace of mind,living your dreams or in penury,misery,heartbreak and not-living your dreams!".
According to America's most sought-after motivational speaker, Les Brown," you have to be hungry for success to be successful", he goes on to say that "what you feed your mind with everyday, every single, goes a long way to determine how successful you would eventually turn out to be in life". We'll talk more on this in the next blog!
But keep this is mind, the Good Book, the constitution of our Kingdom Country says, "as a man thinketh so is he". Henry Ford said "if you think you can, you are correct;if you think you can't then you are correct!". Keep winning the good life!

LIVING AN EXCEPTIONAL LIFE
Hello friends, welcome to another time on "Inspiring Moments" and I pray on this particular discussion you would be really blessed and find a new reason to get out of bed every morning for the rest of your life.
I believe the reason people think and feel that life is boring is because of the lack of a sense of purpose- the lack of a reason for being,no drive and exciting things happening in their lives. So how can one become self-motivated and start the purpose-driven life? Hmmm...these are some of the things I would like to share in this blog post.
The issue of purpose is very vital to living an exceptional life, one has to get it straight and really have a clear picture and sense of direction on how he or she live everyday life. Purpose is the reason for being, the intent of the manufacturer that made him to produce the product. The discovery of your God-given purpose is the greatest thing that would ever happen to you,after salvation of your soul!
To lead an exceptional life, you've gotta have drive! What are the things that excites you? What are those things that gives you joy that you love doing? And is your daily life and work built around them? Hmmm...to really lead an exceptional life,your job have to be exciting to you!
Are you motivated enough? Do you have reason to wake up 3.00 am every morning to read,sing or write? I believe the reason why people leave the bed late is because they are not motivated enough, they don't have a goal they are passionately pursuing,don't have a burning passion to make any significant influence in their world! Find something that motivates you and getting up early won't be a challenge anymore.
Finally, to live a purpose-driven life, you need to go for knowledge! You need to be an addicted learner! You need to be an addicted reader! Go for rich knowledge! You surpass your peers if you are a serious student of the university of life that is knowledge-driven. Your personal library tells alot about who you are, so what collections of books do you have there?
Selah!
