You can kill your vision instantly by telling it to every Tom, Dick and Harry. How does that work? Simple. Not every Tom , Dick and Harry has a vision, and the first opposition against your vision is someone who has none for themselves. However, you can also give your vision great power and wings to fly when you tell it to people of like passions. People that you can sit together and talk about th...

A true personal vision is going to constrain you. All of a sudden you realize that you cannot continue hanging out with the boys. You realize that you cannot continue feeding on gossip and constant negative news. Vision is like a pregnancy. You cannot do drugs when you are pregnant (nor should you even when you are not). My point is that vision constrains you and therefore, if you will activate it...

So you have your vision crafted and documented. Probably that was three or five years ago. You look around at your life and wonder what happened? Why is it that the vision is not bringing forth results? What could you be missing? Like I have said, vision is for the long haul. Vision is also like a baby. If you do not do the vision, it will not take care of itself. There is one critical aspect of v...

The coming up with a vision is straight forward. In this day and age, it is easy to google and find answers on how you can get clarity on your personal vision. And yet, we still have millions of people who do not have that bit sorted. Where the rubber meets the road is what we have to do in order to bring this vision to fruition. Just the fact that you have vision does not mean that things will no...

It is written that where there is no vision, the people perish. They cast off restraint. One of the greatest softwares in the renaissance of our individual lives is a personal vision. To have it or not to have it is the ultimate question. However, there is reason to believe that coming up with the vision is perhaps the simplest part. What needs to be focused on is what we do after knowing what it...

I know it sounds cliché but the notion of a personal vision, in my estimation, is one of the greatest key words in personal development. We need to clarify what our vision is at the individual level. I'm sure we have no problem doing so at the corporate or organizational level whatsoever. It is sad though to find a head of a department in a multinational not having their own vision quantified. We...

There are perhaps two major reasons why people would not want to discover their purpose ON THEIR OWN. First, they are not so confident that they can do that. They would rather an external entity helped them, such as a spiritual man, a coach and so on. Second, they are afraid that they might "discover a miss". In other words, they might spend their life doing that which they thought was their purpo...

Familiarity breeds lots of contempt. What you have you take for granted until you don't have it. What you don't have you treat it as treasure until you have it. In talking about purpose, this analogy can work pretty well. One of the ways you can fail to know your purpose is through familiarity. You are so adept at something that you don't treasure it. It is within you or around you so you don't ta...

If you are interested and committed in identifying your life purpose, there are quite a number of ways you can do that. In the previous episodes, I have talked about questions, gifts and talents, ideas and action. Did you know though, that if you noticed your emotions, you can discern from them what your purpose in life could be at least to some degree? That's right. Emotions are a critical way in...

Perhaps one of the greatest mistakes I ever made with purpose pursuit was to stop everything I was doing and wait until my purpose was revealed before I could start living. I know I was being zealous and radical at the same time. Was my purpose revealed to me through that mode? Nope. It wasn't. Does it get revealed to other people in that mode? Not all the time. So I noticed one clear path to take...

If you wanted to discover your purpose in life, there is one thing that is commonly available to you that you can use. In fact, all of us have it. What you are passionate about might not be what I am passionate about. Consequently, what you "see" in life might not be what I "see". Why? Because we are uniquely different. Perhaps that is why we need to examine the ideas that interest us. It is from...

What if I told you that your purpose is not so lofty and complicated as many think? What if I told you that it is readily available for you to know it and pursue it, centring all that you are doing in life on it? The fact of the matter is that it is easy, let me say that again: It is easy to find your purpose. One of the ways to do that is to look at what comes to you naturally: Your gifts and tal...

If you look for something like hidden treasure, chances are that you will find it. And when you do, the way you will treasure it will be impeccable. Purpose is a treasure. If you asked people about purpose, most will acknowledge that they would love to know specifically the reason why their are existing. But they don't. They want help with that. They would rather that the heavens opened and God "c...

Someone gave me a memorable quote of sorts. He said, "The main thing is to keep the main thing the main thing". That's what purpose is all about. There is no one on the face of the earth that lacks purpose. Yes, you might not have discovered what it is, but that is not to say that it is non existent. Purpose is. It is there. It is the reason you are alive. What needs to happen is the realisation t...

If you find yourself in a rough economic patch of life where mostly it is called "Jobless", there are two options involved. First, you can allow that label to govern your life. It has its consequences at the individual level. The other option is to choose to label yourself as an "Steward". If that is done, I believe that the identity alone goes a long way in alleviating joblessness. There are at l...

Do jobless people study just for the sake of increasing their capacities? Answer that for yourself. Can you remember the day that you did not have a job? Did you engage that incredible time in study? Unfortunately we burn our books whenever we are through with school. Study is seen as some kind of sentence that we break free from. If you are a jobless person, or if you knew one, I can tell you tha...

When a person decides to take up on the title of "Jobless", quite a number of things happen. Chances are that the level of activity in their lives would diminish. Chances are that they will feel dis-empowered and unmotivated for life. I think the identity that we put on ourselves determines how our life will turn out. For example, if a man decides to see himself as a steward instead of "jobless" a...

We see people in the twilight of their years forming organisations and foundations that they can use as a conduit to help society. Somehow, we feel like we can only be of help to society when we are old and have accumulated resources. But being of service to others can be one of the greatest weapons that a jobless person can use to alleviate their situation. There will always be someone that you c...

The person who is jobless is by definition someone who is not engaged. On paper, let it be so. In reality, to be disengaged is one of the greatest disservices that you can ever mete on your life. A disengaged mind, heart or body is simply a recipe for death. The biological term is called "Apoptosis". In essence when the brain see that the body is disengaged, it send signals to the rest of the body...

If you give two people in the same situation an opportunity to rise out of it, the perspective that either of them will adopt will be critical to the transformation that they will have. If you are jobless, you can decide to call yourself jobless and have a mental assent to it. That will most definitely define what you will do with your situation. However, if you are jobless and you decide to see y...

The first thing about stewardship is "servanthood". H. E The President of Uganda at one point in time was quoted and the clip spread throughout the internet. He said, "I am not your servant!" We are discussing the aspect of healing the identity of the jobless person. I have posited that the solution is found in choosing to call yourself a "steward" rather than accepting to be called "Jobless". A s...

What if I told you that a simple change in your identity can see you through a "jobless" situation better? What if I told you that accepting the title of "Jobless" is defeatist and dis-empowering? The reality is there on the ground for all to see. Life is about a journey. In that journey, there is a danger in camping permanently at a place because of a wrong identity. Instead of "jobless" can the...

At the end of the day, what is the function of the human? Really? If we do not have an answer to this question, the quality of life that we live will be affected. In this #NewSeries, we introduce the topic of Stewardship vs Joblessness. Th identity that we impute upon our lives will determine the activities that we shall do and our outlook in life in general. If there was one thing that can oblite...

Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. What we miss to find is the treasure. For instance, if you knew that the child in your house will for sure be the UN secretary general, or a Nobel laureate how would you raise them? The fact is that every baby is a messenger of God, an ambassador on a mission sent by God himself. If we had that revelation, the way we will raise these children...

Realizing that our children are one of the greatest weapons in the hands of God, it changes the way we approach their growth radically. If we keep looking at them as ordinary, we get oblivious of them. But if we have this revelation that they are weapons in God's hands and that we are stewards, the way we bring them up changes totally. The truth is that every child is a treasure and is sent here o...
