The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast!! Many organizations and governments are making efforts in trying to alleviate joblessness. One of the solutions that is being proffered has been the startup world and the gig economy in the recent past. I do believe that it should be a mainstay other than just being a 'Plan B.' Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Solomon said that there is nothing new under the sun. In matters revolutions, it is increasingly being touted that the purpose dispensation will be the next biggest revolution. As such, the purpose economy is something that we need to consider. However, I have a theory. The purpose economy is not new. It is something old that we departed from as a human race. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Whether we like it or not, we are increasingly gravitating towards the purpose economy. This is the economy driven by our passions, gifts and talents, ideas and startups. The other economy has always been driven by education towards 'employability'. As it is, that is not working ever so increasingly. Things are changing. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Why do we work? When you answer this question, it will start explaining the philosophy behind what we do in order to get work. For instance, a huge percentage of humanity will go to school ostensibly to be "employable". As such our education system doesn't churn out people who can deal well with the growing needs of a purpose economy. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The just concluded series on the podcast focused on Work, and mostly the philosophy behind the work we do. Today, let's start talking about the purpose economy which in many ways affect the work that we do. Increasingly we are seeing that what used to work in the 90's is not going to help us anymore. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! When you have a wrong philosophy about work, you easily become prey to con artists because they will craft a pitch and sell you things that guarantee that you will not work but you will gain. At the heart of every con, there is someone who doesn't want to work, and doesn't want to honor time, processes and principles of maturity. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Why do we work? Why do we look for work? We know that the number one reason for going to school is so that we can be "employable". We go there so that we can raise our chances of getting a job. But have we sat down to think why we do work in the first place? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Some people go to lengths of using scriptures to declare that work is a curse, a toil, an unwelcome punishment. Their philosophy about life is that there should be comfort, coziness, enjoyment and such like things, but guess what, at no expense. In other words, their philosophy is that life should be devoid of work but filled with bliss. Listen to this.

🍾 New #Podcast!!   There is such a thing as the philosophy of work. We identify our work and its proceeds from what we believe matters about the work itself. Frankly, each person has a different philosophy from the next person, but the biggest problem we have here is the sea of sameness. Listen to this.

🍾 New #Podcast!! Is it true that if you discovered your purpose, "You will never work another day in your life"? I contend that if we got our philosophy of work right, we will be saying that that statement is the exact opposite of the truth. So let's ask this question: would you work in your purpose where there is no pay?

📢 New #Podcast!!  We need to talk about this. Why do we work? Why do we go to school? Probably, why do we live? You see, our philosophy affects our approach in life. In the series we are debunking the statement that "once you have discovered you purpose, you will never work another day in your life". That statement is a philosophy that we need to examine. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Motivation is important for humans. If anything, I do think that we are the only species God created who need motivation to make things happen. Other species use instinct and survival. You never saw lions attending a seminar...anyway. Some motivation statements can be a lie, and one of them is "Once you have discovered your purpose, you will never work another day in your life."...

📢 New #Podcast!!  Increasingly, people are being affected by mental health issues that result from participating in competitions. These could be for fun in sports or for serious things such as political elections. There will always be winners and losers. There will always be a moment of waiting, tense-filled nail biting moments where the winner or loser is not known. Here are a few ways we can al...

📢 New #Podcast!! That we daily engage in competitions is just a fact of life. Some of these competitions are for fun, but others have serious life transition implications. Winning or losing therefore at times can become a life or death proposition...but from the grand scheme of things, it might not be. Here is to the winners and how they can help with mental health issues coming out of competitio...

📢 New #Podcast!!  Mental health issues related to competitions are increasingly taking a toll on people. They are being amplified in the sports world as well as in politics ever so increasingly. However, other forms of competitions in academia have always seen people lose. How can we learn to deal with the mental health stress issues related to these competitions? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Let's face it. There are lost of mental health related issues to come from participating in competitions. When we either enter a competition or align ourselves to support another team of person because of our values, there will be an inevitable outcome. Either a winner or a loser. This realization is critical in handling mental health issues. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  It's a paradox. We get stressed out because we care. People who are not sports fans cannot be stressed by Arsenal not winning the title. Why? Because they don't care. They don't have their hearts into it. People who don't give a hoot about Trump or Biden can't be stressed when either loses the presidential race. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Transitions in life are inevitable. Perhaps the area where most people go through these transitions is the area of careers. Victoria Ateenyi Nyanzi has been helping people to position themselves well in order to catalyze their career transitions through great branding principles on LinkedIn. This conversation highlighted those aspects. You will love it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I have said in this new series that we live in a dark, fallen world. Whether we like it or not, we will find ourselves participating in a form of competition or another and we shall inevitably fail at some point in time. We need to realize that such failings have an impact on our mental health. How do we navigate them? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  Someone said, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn". It's just a fact of life. We are all steeped into different competitions at different junctures in our lives. Some of these competitions are institutionalized. The amazing thing is that we have not created structures to help mental health cases that come from losing a competition. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Looking at life critically, you realize that we are involved in many competitions. We are told that even before birth, there is a rush of millions of sperms to fertilize an egg. Competitions mark our lives all through...and the unfortunate thing is that for many competitions, there are losers. How do we handle that? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  We live in a fallen black world. That the world is unfair is not a lamentation. It is a fact. Then, we have to contend with the fact that we are limited in many ways and are also imperfect. Still, we have goals, desires, dreams, wishes and visions to fulfill. How do we handle all that? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We have to be prepared psychologically for some things. Even as we are talking about us being limited and having imperfections, when we get started at something we are passionate about, one way or another, we have to anticipate some setbacks. Things might get worse before they get better. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!!  So now that we are aware that our limitations and imperfections cannot stand on our way, we also need to be aware that they might not go away entirely. They will always be there with us. So if we are pursuing our goals and dreams, starting is critical, but keeping going is another ball game altogether. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Life is full of transitions. James Abola after more than a decade leading Akamai Global and being an entrepreneur, he transitioned into full time employment with the Government. I wanted to catch up with him and break down his transition so as to learn why he did it and what we can learn from it. Here is the how the conversation went.
