The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

The world has changed. It will keep changing. Gone are the days where major brands will encamp at universities waiting for qualified people to employ. Today, they are in droves, as common as table salt. You will be engaged in life today to the degree that you have a personal brand. Academic certificates alone will no longer work, they will no longer cut it. That is why we need to learn how to craf...

The constant thing about life is change. That means that our contexts are always going to be subjective. What needs to stand like a rock is our content. In matters of fashion, someone said, swim with the currents, but in matters of principle, stand like a rock. What can we do when our contexts are subject to change each waking day? Listen to this.

There is lots of power in taking care of the physical body. Think about it. Is it possible to do anything here on earth apart from the physical body? Now that we are all home, or at least, most of us are...what is it that we can do so that we can continue being productive? You guessed it. We need to intentionally take care of our physical body because there is a lot of benefit to that. Listen to t...

It's a paradox we are living in. Man is primarily supposed to be productive. For that reason, we are here on earth. The bad thing is that we have always thought that productivity is something we do under someone's leadership so we can be paid. Nothing can be further from the truth. And now that we are experiencing lockdowns and closures of businesses, like never before we are being introduced to t...

When all is said and done, a human being finds fulfillment from his work. This work can either be paid for or otherwise, but for as long as a human is productive, fulfillment comes. So what happens when one is jobless and one is sent home due to the Corona Virus pandemic that is forcing lockdowns around the world? We have to remain productive. The question is how do we do that? And the answer is t...

Let's face it: there is no way that we can become productive during a lockdown if we do not have a weekly agenda, or an agenda of sorts for that matter. There has to be some level of intentionality in what we are going to do, whether we will be paid or not. The underlying thing is our productivity. We must remain productive. One might ask: What in the world will I put in my weekly agenda? Consider...

The human being was created to be productive. Our greatest need, all things being kept constant is productivity. I think one of the misconceptions that we deal with daily is that we have to be paid to be productive, or that after being productive, we must be paid. Well, what if we are jobless or what if there are lockdowns and curfews? Does that mean we put our products on the back burner and star...

In moments of crisis, when our world has been interrupted, one of the most affected things is our productivity. We've always thought that to be productive, we have to go somewhere and log in, work and then get paid. But now that we are facing lockdowns and curfews, what do we do in order to continue being productive. It is a fact that if we do not keep our personal productivity going, we can get d...

During the lockdown, we have to remain productive. I shudder to think of the people who have nothing to do as they wait for the lockdowns around the world to end. This is probably the same thing that you will go through when you retire if you are a public servant. The point of existence is not to be employed but to be productive. That means that we can be productive at all times, not just at work....

Having an agenda for your productivity is essential especially when you are working at home or have no job to work on. You will be shocked that you can have a loaded agenda if you were up to it. Having a productivity agenda is not necessarily for the sake of churning out activities. When you are crafting your agenda for productivity, there are certain important pillars that we need to use so that...

The entire world is on virtual lockdown. Airports have their activities grounded into a terrible lull. The world as we knew it is not the same anymore, neither does it promise to go back to "normal". What we need to answer is what can be done in order to stay productive especially at the individual level. There is one silver bullet that I have taught jobless people to use that I think comes to rel...

The most important thing when going through a slump or when you are broke is your mental state. It goes a long way in cementing the actions that you will take as well as creating a psyche with which you will operate. When you are broke, it is not just the physical absence of cash that will bother you. Something much more powerful and negative is happening in your mental state that directly affects...

When you are broke, there is a greater propensity to think that you are useless, worthless and that the situation will stay for a great foreseeable future. It robs you of your essence, your motivation and even inspiration to do anything. You start looking to be helped because you wrongly think that you cannot help. If the situation pervades, what suffers the most is your mental state, something th...

When we suffer a slump of some nature, the lie is that anything and everything we do must result in a direct respite. That is not necessarily the case, especially when facing a financially broke moment. One might be under the illusion that they cannot do anything because whatever action they take does not immediately or imminently solve the problem, so they wrongly refrain from acting. This refrai...

How do you deal with a personal slump? How do you deal with a moment of broke-ness? You are feeling like you are useless and cannot contribute. That feeling can weigh you down so much so that you do not want to leave the house, neither do you want to do anything constructive. How do you handle that situation? I think one of the things that we were created to do as humans is to be solutions, provid...

All of us get to that moment in life where we experience a personal slump of some sort. For the most part, it is a financial crisis, and we are in a momentarily broke situation. The options are binary. Either we can sit back and out-wait the situation, depending heavily on what is not in our control for the situation to change. Or, we can decide to take that which is in our control and do somethin...

We all go through moments in life of a personal slump. At times, it is a personal financial slump where we are so broke. The problem is not the slump, the problem is how you interpret that slump. If you are not careful, you will have feelings of illusionary inadequacy, foreboding, uselessness, worthlessness, and purposelessness. You will feel like you are not needed here on earth. You might conseq...

Life gives us ups and downs. One of the most critical "downs" that we face is that period just after success. It is called Re-entry. How you handle a moment of reentry is important in determining how you will move on with your life. There are several things that one can do in order to handle successfully a moment of reentry. A reentry simply means that you are dealing with a low moment that is cha...

Reentry in a visionary's life can be something so daunting. Remember Neil Armstrong? What else did he do after coming back from stepping on the moon? That low feeling of lack of purpose after stretching yourself so hard and attaining a worthy goal can be debilitating. That is why we need to learn how to handle a moment of reentry every once in a while. In trusting ourselves, we can easily navigate...

At times when we succeed like crazy, we tend to want to identify with that success for the rest of our lives. The downside is that we rob ourselves of the opportunity to even do greater things. That is one aspect of success reentry, where we have to handle "normal life" after coming back to reality from a season of success. How do we handle that reentry? One of the ways to do this is to link up yo...

In order to successfully handle a reentry moment especially after a bout of success, it is critically important for us to learn how to practice detachment. Inherently, we tend to get attached to what we have just "given birth" for lack of a better word. In so doing, we rob ourselves of the power to keep going and accomplishing even greater and mightier things. Perhaps the greatest pain of heartbre...

A re-entry is that moment where you have to deal with a low after a considerable high. Probably you have just shipped out a project and there is "no work" to do anymore. How you handle a re-entry will be critically important in terms of having your momentum of productivity well managed. In so doing, you will experience refreshing and recharging. It is no longer something that you and I can keep ig...

Life gives us ups and downs. One of the most critical "downs" that we face is that period just after success. It is called Re-entry. It is that moment where you are dealing with a low or for lack of a better word, a "normal" just after you have succeeded. We all come to that moment in life where we have to face a re-entry. In fact, nearly every human faces a moment of re-entry. No one is exempt. I...

Success is available to everyone who wants it. It is not arbitrary. There has to be a wanting. Without it, it becomes elusive. That's why Jesus said that the poor you will always have them with you. What a controversial thing to say, but it is the truth. God wants everyone to succeed and to make it in life. However, He has designed it in such a way that each of us has to be responsible for our own...

We are all entitled and even marked for success. All of us. However, success is not arbitrary. That means that it will not come just because we were born. One of the secrets to attaining success is discussed in this episode. That so called secret is not a secret anyway. It is a secret because not so many people know how powerful it is.  Urgency is one such a powerful force in the success equation....
