EMBRACE THE DYNAMICS OF CHANGE

Change is a word that just about every person talks about, I want to change my family, I want to change my world, i want to engrave my names on the walls of history, the list could go on and on.

In my little experience in the years of life I had live, I realize that the sum total of our overall change is gaining mastery over the little daily task. If you can master your day, you can master your life. STOP thinking of changing the future and START changing your day with your goal in mind. Change your thinking and change your life. Embrace it even if it's not easy for you. Nothing good ever crystallize from a goalless, inconsistent life. Leave your comfort zone if you will achieve anything significant with your life.

The world is changing and everything in it, what has value today will loss its relevance tomorrow. Its takes a committed and dedicated approach to life for your desired change to occur. Start little but never remain little.

I leave you with this words from an unknown monk, 1100A.D:

When I was a young man, I wanted to change the world. I found it was difficult to change the world, so I tried to change my nation. When I found I couldn't change the nation, I began to focus on my town. I couldn't change the town and as an older man, I tried to change my family.

Now, as an old man, I realize the only thing I can change is myself, and suddenly I realize that if long ago I had changed myself, I could have made an impact on

my family. My family and I could have made an impact on our town. Their impact could have changed the nation and I could indeed have changed the world.

Go change something and never forget your God factor!!!

BE DETERMINED

When I was growing up, one of the popular quotes like John 3:16 from the Bible is "determination today leads to success tomorrow" now I come of age that truth still remain.

Men we termed successful today in our contemporary world, were determined people. I concur to the Merriam Webster definition "a quality that makes you continue trying to do or achieve something that is difficult" when you are set to make significant contributions in the earth be assured of trials of lack, rejection and criticism from especially the ones you love most. You are either going to continue on your determined course or resort to give up.

Thomas Edison worked tirelessly on his experiment, you know the story better, on one occasion the wife suggested he do take a leave and rest a while and asked where he do travel to for the vacation and he responded ...I will tell you by dawn. By dawn his wife came to greet him good morning in the same lab and he told her he's already on his vacation. His assistant once recounted their many failures to him, he told him they have learn many ways the bulb can't work. He was so determined that discouragement or fear of defeat couldn't knocked at his door. Today his name is everywhere, I guess you've never seen his picture but you've heard of his name.

When you know the direction you are going in life, never give up, when you encounter challenges see them as a sure bet you're heading for the right direction. Do you remember the doggedness of those three Hebrew guys in Babylon, they were determined to the point of death. Can you trust God for your course to such extent? ...hmm! I trust you will never doubt Him in the open what He revealed to you in the dark especially this month.

God bless your day.

BE PERSISTENT

I like to start with a story of a horseman and his horse, this man loved his horse that he couldn't do away with it. A day came the horse fell into a ditch, he called his neighbors to stone it to death that he don't need it any longer as a trick to get it out. They were all glad for the job. As they continue hurling stones at the horse, it keep resisting the pain and persist to overcome each throw. With time the hole was filled with stones and the horse found its way out of the dungeon and the people fled while the man was glad his horse is back.

Just like the horse everyday may not be rosy for you. Monday isn't Tuesday and Tuesday can't be Wednesday, but there's something synonymous with them all...day! If you daily encounter tough times, don't worry it can't outlast tough men like you. Even while others retire, you don't. You just keep digging it. Merriam Webster defined persistence as "continuing to do something or to try to do something even though it is difficult or other people want you to stop"

Don't stop my friend, if people are looking for a persistent figure, let them point at you. John De Lemme once said "the key of persistence will open up any door that has been closed by resistance" do you want open doors? Be persistent! The Bible says "those that call on the Lord should give him no rest..." Keep calling even when you don't feel like it, keep calling and keep doing your best and in the fullness of time you will arrive at your desired destination especially this month.

God bless your day.

BE CONSISTENT

It's normal phenomenon for people to make plans for the day, week, month and year and not too long such plan or resolutions becomes a burden to them. Since it isn't comfortable any longer. 

I like to define Consistence as doing what you are suppose to do especially when you don't feel like doing it. Do you remember this anthem? "Youth obey the clarion call, let us lift our nation high under the SUN or in the RAIN..." Those that served our fatherland will be familiar with it. 

The sun and rain depict

two seasons in your pursuit of purpose. There are times you like to do it and there are times you just hate it. A worker will testify not all day is enjoyable in his workplace and that can't make him give up on the work because he has a target. My friend you have a target this month. Don't allow the worries or storms that may beset knock you down. 

Consistence breed perfection and fulfillment. A footballer was asked why he is good at taking kicks(shot). He said "Everyday i go for training I always maintain 100 (or more) shots daily outside my normal group training" Whatever you are set to do if you must be successful you must be consistent. Mike Murdock said "Successful men do daily what the unsuccessful men do occasionally" 

Do you see a man diligent in his work, he will stand before kings and not otherwise my friend. If you are seeking a place at the top in your field of endeavor, be consistent with your daily input and in fullness of time you will be there.

God bless your day.
