We live in a
world that is characterized with “Three C’s namely Competition, Change and
Complexities. If any one of us must live and do businesses in today’s world
must be ready to embrace and tactfully understand these powerful 3C’s to
achieve unlimited success.
Amazingly we
all dread and detest change but you will agree with this wise saying that “One
cannot keep doing the same thing and expect different results. If you want to
experience a full life full of possibilities and opportunities, then you must
be ready to attempt and do the unusual as this is what is required to stay on
top in today’s world. Look at our world today, science and technology as
impacted almost every aspect of our personal and business life. The
introduction of the personal computer and the internet is no doubt transforming
the way we go about life today and guess what you must not be left out of the
enormous opportunity to be live your best life now.
It’s indeed
a big world out there, a big world full of enormous opportunities and
possibilities to be your unlimited best in every aspect of life and business.
Think about this, How easy it is to be “average”. The ranks of the mediocre are
crowded with status-quo thinkers and predictable workers. How rare are those
who live differently!
Now, indeed
you can be productive, relevant, secured and wealthy in today’s world, all that
is required is to develop some certain personal qualities that make up the
traits of leadership and vigorously apply timeless principles that would bring
about the desired change you want to see in your life. It’s so sad that many
people go through life hoping for the best, however you need more than a hope
to live successfully today, you need a plan and a right course of action to
maximize every opportunities that life will present to you.
In the
school of life and business in the 21st century, you need four innate,
personal tools that will consistently guarantee immense success and
significance that you seek passionately. The deployment of these four innate
tools have been used by great business thinkers like Bill gates who is the
richest man in the world today, Albert Einstein, Barrack Obama, Aliko Dangote,
Helen Keller who was blind and deaf but became an Elder state woman, writer and
a lecturer in her time. These four innate tools are:
1 Dream
2 Initiative
3 Creativity
4 Excellence
Dream: Friends you need to realize that
all things in this life are created twice, their is first the mental creation
before the physical creation. That is why the scripture says that “ Where there
is no vision the people perish” if you really want to be super successful and
be productive in all aspect of your life then the starting point is you need to
develop the capacity to see beyond the realities of your life. Your
circumstances are not the conclusions of your life. Eyes that look are many but
eyes that see are few. Celebrated men and women in our world today have learnt
to go inside of themselves to draw inspiration and deep revelation from their
rich resources of their mind. The starting point to dreaming is to first of all
on a daily basis change and upgrade your thoughts to world-class regularly.
Change your thoughts and you change your world.
“One
philosopher states that the purpose of our life on earth is to learn that our
thoughts have power. William James wrote that the greatest discovery of this
century is that by changing our thoughts, we can change our lives. We are
constantly thinking, and every thought is filled with creative power. We are
constantly creating, but more of it is done unconsciously. The purpose of a
dream is to get us in to conscious creating.
A dream is
not the images you experience when you sleep but it is an “ IDEA, A PLAN, AN
AGENDA, A GOAL “ which you have deliberately determined to pursue in other to
make your life and business a phenomenal success.
A whack on
the side of the head is a book on how to break the inertia and unlock your mind
for innovative thinking. By adopting a creative outlook, as Roger von Oech, the
author of the book, points out, we open ourselves to new possibilities and
change. But that requires thinking outside the prisons of common boundaries. It
requires a Dream.
Friends my
submission to you today is that on a regular basis, take out time to unleash
your imagination and see the great things you want to have, experience in your
lifetime and stop seeing and focusing on your present circumstances because “imagination
is everything,” wrote Albert Einstein. When you are dreaming, think about a
world where, “With God, anything is possible.”
Color
outside the lines. Look at people who are having, being, doing, and creating
what you want to create as role models. The illustration is simply this, You
Think – You Do – You Become
”Nothing
limits achievement like small thinking; nothing expands possibilities like
unleashed imagination”
