Have you at anytime, sat down and asked yourself...

WHY THE HECK AM I DOING ALL THESE?

what is my motivation?

Fact is... there are many questions that can be running through our minds whenever we tend to oblige to sober reflections and i can agree that most of them can be self-building, but we will not deny the fact that if we do not understand why we do things, we will end up doing them for the wrong reasons and that would in turn make it impossible for us to attain the heights we require.

I would like to be very factual here, most people are actually living a copy of life. Because someone you know has achieved something very commendable, you now make it a point of reckon to ensure you tend to achieve similar or same results. Forgive me, but that is balderdash!

Abuse, has been the order of the day in our world tyoday as we see so many people doing things for the wrong reasons. The inevitability of abuse is rooted in the misuse of vision. I believe it is time for a paradigm shift, where we all go back to the drawing board and find out the reason we are here in the first place, i believe am speaking the mind of majority, but first, am speaking my own mind.

#This is it! We’ve come to the end of the road, its time to choose... to choose to remain how we were and walk the same path over and over again, or to create a brand new path for ourselves. Delay is dangerous. You have to buckle up and make a decision, a decision to be true to yourself and to always and only always do things because of what you think about it and not because of what someone else thinks or says you should do, conciously or subconciously.

When i was in college, i met a friend who had several academic issues, with a pile up of carry overs from first year down , and the fear of the fact that he would not be able to go for Industrial Training Attachment, coupled with the low academic grade he had, he sought for help, any where he could find.

We talked and we looked at why he is having such challenges, we came to find out that he is studying the particular course because his uncle studied the same course and was successful in it, becoming the wealthiest man in their family, hence his parents mandated him to do the same thing, and he obliged...

That was his challenge, at that point, he recognized that he had been the architect of his own misfortune, and he began taking steps to change his ways and become a better person with some secrets i shared with him.

Have you been the architect of your own misfortune? Have you been in a situation where you know that if you had listened to your inner man, you wouldn’t have made that mistake and fallen into this? Are you looking for a way out from your present situation that is proving hard to succor?

Well, we all have been in such situations one time or the other in our lives and we sought for help, now we are better. I will be sharing with you some ancient secrets to finding and/or creating your own path to success. This secrets may look simple and ridiculous, and you may choose to ignore them but i will implore you, that if you really want feasible transformation in your life on any aspect, to take note of them, follow them daily and you will be amazed of the changes you will experience.

FOUR LIFE CHANGING HABITS EVERYONE SHOULD PRACTISE

1. FIND YOUR PASSION:

I will like to be very explicit here, your passion is what drives you, what spurs you, what makes you feel fulfilling. My personal Check for Passion habit is whatever i can do without minding any other thing, whatever i enjoy doing that once am at it, time flies, that is what am passionate about. I would implore you to look deep down into your self, and find your passion, your passion is what makes you unique, what makes you different from others. Your strenght lies in your passion. When you find your passion, you will become aware of the various opportuinities that surrounds you which you have been ignoring chasing shadows.

2. BE A LEARNER:

This is the 21st century and in this world, am an avid believer that “all skills are learnable, once you find your passion. The next thing to do is to begin the process of learning, unlearning and relearning. In your head is a plethora of ideas, skills, talents, businesses, and lots more..., most of which are not going to help you in anyway in your journey to success, now you should conciously begin the process of learning new things targetted at improving yourself, unlearning anything that has been a hinderance to you, including habits, wrong ideologies, mindsets and stuffs, and re-learning the right once to have a strong foundation for excellence.

3. BE PRODUCTIVE:

To become successful, you have to ** DO** something, even the bible said that

Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might (paraphrased)

Set a goal for yourself, have a targetr and do not stop at anything until you achieve it, you can start small, like start with the little things you normally do like your daily routine and as you accomplish those tasks little by little, you will feel a joy burning up inside of you, then you find more tasks to accomplish and just like that, one after the other, you will find your way to the top.

4. BE CONFIDENT:

I decided to keep this for last because as easy as it seems (BE CONFIDENT), it is the hardest of them all. “Old habits” they say, “die hard”, as you climb this ladder of success, you will be tempted more often than not to go back to your former ways, to curl back into yur comfort zone and coninue with the mediocre type of lifestyle. This is where courage comes in, you must be confident in the person you are becoming enough to resist all temptations to quit. I promise you, it won’t be easy, but definitely, it will be worth it.

Do these and youre already on your way to success.

This is me advising myself on how to be successful, if you feel this could work for you,youn can try it out and let me know how you feel below, meanwhile, if you had tried any of these methods before, please share with me your experiences as i would be glad to hear from you...

Yours,
