Initiative: Go to the ant, you slacker! Observe its ways and become wise. Without leader, administrator, or
ruler, it prepares its provisions in summer; it gathers its food during harvest
I have always wondered what on earth is the difference
between a rich man and a poor one, and my discovery after a long while revealed
to me is in their taking initiative and daring to do the impossible. They don’t
wait for their ship to sail to them rather they swim to meet up their ship.
Dear friends, the only way to grow and succeed in the 21st century
is to constantly develop the ability on daily basis to act out and do that
thing you ought to do even when it isn’t sure that you will succeed.
A dreamer is someone who sees the opportunities around
and makes the most of them by taking action. He or she does today what others
are not doing in order to have what others will not have tomorrow. That’s why I
agree with the wise words of Dwight Roosevelt which says that “Do what you can with what you have right
where you are”.
Everyone has what it takes to start something, no
matter how small; therefore, don’t hesitate to start with what you have now.
Start doing something with what you have because until you take steps nothing
takes shape. The Chinese proverbs says, “Don’t be afraid of doing slowly but
only be afraid of standing still.” A great life and business can’t be realized
without making things happen.
Creativity: One great thing that will differentiate your life and business to attract favour, influence, resources and great relationships that will pace you is creativity. A lot of people today are drab, mediocre and live average lives all because the lack creativity.
“One good idea
is all you need to start a fortune. Business breakthrough come from finding
faster, cheaper, better and easier ways to perform a task. “Brian Tracy
We need on a daily basis to be original, make new
discoveries, work out new concepts, and possess the idea of doing common things
in uncommon ways. I dare you today to do things differently in your life and
business approach. Take out time to do the analysis of your present reality and
work out a new course of action as to what you need to do to become a
phenomenal success and a role model to others, it’s time for us to start
thinking outside the box and unleash the power of our imagination and move out
of the things we are used to as we stretch ourselves to new boundaries of
possibilities and opportunities Even the sky is not your limit as you dare to
be creative in the way you live and do business.
Excellence: one great quality that is lacking today in our world is the capacity to do things in an unusual way. In order to survive in today’s world we need to develop the passion for unlimited quality in every sphere of our influence. Excellence is the habit of doing the best with best resources to achieve the best. As someone said,” Those who always deliver on quality never go unnoticed.” The habit of excellence prevents you from being an apostle of mediocrity who does things shabbily but it makes you do things better today than you did yesterday. It is true that little things make for excellence, but excellent is not a little thing. See thou a man diligent in his ways, such man will stand before kings and not with mere men. My submission to you is to go and do beyond your current efforts in your quest to live a full life in this 21st century.
Aristotle said, we
are what we repeatedly do. Excellence therefore isn’t an act but a habit. In
a nutshell you need to daily place a demand on yourself to find ways of doing
things in a different manner so as to attract more opportunities in to your
life and business.
I leave you with this African proverb that never
seizes to inspire me,” “Every morning in Africa, a GAZELLE
wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest LION or it
will be killed. Every morning a LION wakes up. It knows it must outrun
the slowest GAZELLE or it will starve to death. It doesn’t
matter whether you are a LION or a GAZELLE . . .
When the sun comes up, you’d better be running.”
