Someone said that if I were to see success in your life, it would be found in what you are doing daily. They meant that each day consistently taken specific action on constitutes success eventually. An effort a day can be something that can easily be taken for granted. Probably there will be no major reward in the day. No earning. No contract. No connection. However, that activity that you have do...

Success in life can have as many meanings as there are people who are seeking it. True success though is never attained acutely or big bang. It always is going to take time and process. The most oblivious thing that we are aware of about success is the day. That 24 hour period. What we look for success outside of the day could not necessarily be available. However, around us we have the day, and w...

Ask different people about their opinion on the most sinister word in the English language and you will definitely get different answers. It depends on people's belief systems and their values...but also on what they see in their productivity. For me, the most sinister word is the word "oblivious". It tells me that all that I needed to be successful could be around me, but all along I am looking f...

What If I told you that EVERYTHING you an I needed to be successful in life is already available around us and within us? What would you say? Someone said that the secret to life is what we do daily. The key therefore is what you and I have: A day. We both do have that advantage every 24 hours. It is what we do in terms of efforts that will contribute to our success. For a day to count, we have to...

Do not be fooled that the language of "vision" is only applicable to "mature" adults, and as such, children cannot have vision. If we think that way, we ought to blame the way we were raised up. Where there is no vision, people perish. Certainly, one of the most potent things we can ever give our children, one critical weapon for success in life is a life with a vision. In fact, the only thing tha...

At times parents make vows that their children will never go through the same "hardship" that they went through. And so we go through great lengths to make sure that they are shielded from our perceived hardships. At the end of the day, there is a way in which we deprive them of the vision to serve humanity. One of the greatest things we can leave in our children is vision. Since vision is always...

Someone said that what you leave to a child is not as critical as what you live inside a child. In other words, if you put vision in them, it would be much more potent and critical than leaving them with things they can touch and feel, minus vision. What vision does is to compel them and constrict them. The child with immense vision would not worry you about the company of people that they are goi...

There could be a slight difference between productivity and performance. One can lead to another but one can do one and not get another. The seed for productivity in the life of a human being is vision. If you were to give a child one potent weapon to make it in this life, that weapon will have to do with vision. There could be many other things that we can give them but without vision, they will...

The Bible says that without vision people perish. They cast off restraint. It's true. I do believe that the worst thing you can do for a child is to give them a parent with no vision either for themselves or for that child. The opposite is also true. The best thing you can do for a child is to give them vision of the best possible outcome, and also have a vision for yourself as a parent, guardian,...

Children are impressionable and malleable. Just about the same way that religious people are but let me not digress. My point is that it is possible for a child to follow course that they have been put on and go through it in absolute trust and blindness. Yikes! So when we tell our children to study hard so that they can get a job and escape hardship and poverty, guess what? That is exactly what t...

Can you remember as you grew up when people spoke highly of you? When they said that you have a promise and great potential? What did that do to you? Of course it inspired you. If you do not remember that part, you know exactly what you missed. Unfortunately there are those who remember the complete opposite. They were told that they would not amount to anything. It must have affected them. Just a...

You can never fail to talk passionately about children. They represent potential and possibility more than any age group in life. The represent malleability, pliability and ease of shaping. If you asked different people about the most important thing that you can give children, you will probably get different answers. I saw a friend asking for any three books that you can recommend for your son. D...

At the end of the day, the quality of life we live is directly connected to the quality of decisions we make. Granted, we unconsciously make decisions on a daily basis. However, there are a pocket of decisions that need to be made intentionally, deliberately, consciously, instantly and incessantly in order to direct the kind of life that we would love to live. If you asked different people, they w...

We live and transact in a body. Technically, we are spirits, but no spirit operates on earth without a body. That makes the body one of the most fundamental aspects of life. It is therefore important for us to make critical decisions regarding our health. The key decision is not just to maintain health and to be healthy. We need to go a step further and make sure that we are healthier as the years...

The growth and development of the individual person can be attributed to not very many things, but just a few pillars here and there. One of the main things that will necessitate one's growth, improvement and development is the habit of making instant, constant and fast decisions. It goes without saying. There are not so many decisions that one needs to make. I am talking about the major decisions...

One of the characteristics of the human race is that we are always predisposed to improve. We have gone through one revolution and another and still when you look at the projections in robotics, AI, Nano tech and so on, we can still be better. Take a look at it from the individual perspective. There is a great chance that I can be a better man. I can be a better father, husband, CEO and so on. Thi...

There comes a time in life when we have to make a decision concerning how our lives will go. Unless that moment comes, nothing happens. The default mode of life is not growth, it is always drifting. That is why decision-making is one critical aspect of life. What we do not have can be brought about by making a conscious decision. That's where the rubber meets the road. In this episode, we look at...

There is one major thing that we can do daily that can impact the quality of life that we live. You notice that on a daily basis, from the moment we are awake, we are thinking all the while about activities. We want to do this and that. Tackle this and that. Solve this and that. In between, there are many distractions and detours that we need to handle. Before you know it, the day is gone, well sp...

When it comes to forging forward in life, one person said that it could be simple...and yet not necessarily easy. All of us have the wherewithal that we need to make changes and transformation in life. It is within us or around us. There is one major ingredient that shapes the way our destinies will look like. That one thing is simple: Decision making. Think about it for a minute: Before you make...

There could be many things available either within us or around us that would be the starting points of our breakthroughs. If you are talking about health, wealth, relationships, businesses and so on, the biggest mistake we make is to think that the breakthrough lies elsewhere. The truth is that we could be oblivious of what seeds of breakthrough are around us and we just ignore. There is only one...

You can have your vision written down in less than an hour, actually in less than 15 minutes. You know why? Because you already know what it is. It is not foreign to you. It is not something outside of you. It is not even complicated. What is keeping you from not having your personal vision written down is simply a decision. Probably you do not feel so comfortable and confident enough to craft the...

W. Clement Stone said that "definiteness of purpose" is the beginning of all forms of success, something like that. This means that it is important for individuals (that's what I am drawn to) to determine what their life will be all about. Frankly, people think that coming up with a personal vision is one of the most complicated things. It is not. We all have passion, desires, wishes and so on...a...

Like a broken record, let me say this: Coming up with a vision is the easiest part. In fact, that can be done in a sitting of 15 minutes, I kid you not! If you do not have a personal vision, you are only 15 minutes away from crafting one. Make a decision and do it. What is the difficult part is what follows after you have crafted the vision. To bring it to fruition is the most critical part and pe...

The fact is that working on your long term personal vision is not the only option that you do have in life. There will be very many opportunities for you to work on other people's vision. Heck, most people do that for their entire lives. However, in the wake of the uncertainties in life, and in the availability of different options, what do you do when you have to make your vision a reality? Do yo...

One of the greatest reasons as to why people would rather be employed than work on their vision is impatience. A job gives you instant cash in 30 days. Your vision gives you no promise, at times even for years. However, when the vision starts paying off, it doesn't just pay your bills. It pays for families. If you wanted your vision to come to fruition, one of the most neglected things you will ne...
