Are you helpless?
It is pathetic to hear fellow human beings cry out despondently that they are helpless. Can this pronouncement you made really be accurate. Now take a good look at yourself in the mirror. What do you see? Do you see a helpless wimp? Or do you see a person capable of pursuing his own destiny and winning in life. My task in this article is to go ahead to unravel the total package of that person in the mirror right away.
*What label have you placed on yourself?
The act of putting a label on something for instance is to differentiate it from others in the same category and enhance its worth. So I ask you, what are you worth? Can you accurately answer that question and assess your true value? Let me begin to give you an idea of your real worth. You are blessed with two legs, arms, ears and eyes, a great brain and a mouth.
* Analysis of your personal assets
Let us analyse how powerful those assets are to any human being. On this earth you need your two legs and arms to move about, this means you are not hindered. Your eyes function perfectly which shows you are not blind. You have a head and a mouth. Inside your head is a brain which has been confirmed to be more powerful than the most sophisticated super computer ever manufactured on this planet. It is common knowledge that most people regarded as geniuses utilize less than ten percent (10%) of their brain power. With your mind, you have the perfect equipment to create anything you desire. Your imagination enables you to travel to any place you desire without paying a dime. You have the capacity to say whatever you wish with your mouth and you are capable of influencing a vast majority of people packed in a massive theatre just to hear you speak or sing. You can express your wildest wishes and they are carried out which shows you are not dumb or ineffectual.
* Results of your personal assets analysis
Having analysed the awesome power you carry, you will begin to see your body in a new light. My friend that body you have is so magnificent, so powerful and carefully and wonderfully crafted by the creator of the universe and certified as excellent. Your personal value is immeasurable.
* You were crafted with care and excellence
The creator made you after his own likeness. Do you know the import of that word “likeness”? It means you are like God and so you ought to think, act and speak like God. If you believe that, then you ought not to be limited by anything or circumstances on this planet. If you are “like” God that means you are god. Let us demonstrate my claims. A dog gives birth to a dog, a lion gives birth to a lion hence God cannot but be the father of a "god". Hence you have his attributes and nature and thus become a co-creator with him on this planet. Your comprehension of that simple conclusion should encourage you to take that bold step, that action towards pursuing your unique purpose on this earth.
*Take your rightful place now.
I urge you to begin to take your rightful place in the affairs of men. Just find your unique assignment and pursue it with vigour similar to a laser beam which when focused can cut a bar of iron in two. Friend, you are not helpless you are more than you can readily comprehend. Believe this and new windows of opportunities opens up to you, as your brain which was shut down before opens up and light floods in to chase away the shadows of self doubt and self defeatism to assume the role of a conqueror.
You are not helpless please stand up to take your rightful place. You will excel just believe you can and take action immediately.

Readers are Leaders
Introduction
There is a wide notion that knowledge is power but this assertion is not correct. However, you will be right if you say that the acquisition of knowledge gives you potential power.
Acquiring information in a specific area either by reading or by research gives you a great store of knowledge. You may have a store of knowledge in a specific or diverse area but until you apply it to make a decision that will be beneficial to either yourself or fellow human beings, that knowledge remains dormant within you and unprofitable to everyone.
* How can you acquire knowledge?
You acquire wisdom when you read books, magazines, newspapers, watch documentaries on television, listen to people adjudged to be more experienced than we are, get mentored by experts in particular areas of interest to us, from the internet, from libraries and finally through formal education to mention but a few.
My assertion that readers are leaders may be challenged. However, I wish to open your eyes to the fact that when you read you become a leader. Please follow my arguments carefully.
i) Books are sources of knowledge that enlightens and develops your mind.
A book is a written material whether soft or hard copy. The mission of most authors is to inform you about specific areas where the author has sharper insights or expert knowledge. Reading any book therefore gives you new knowledge in the subject covered by the author.
Let us illustrate my claims by giving a vivid example everybody can easily relate to. Let us assume that you bought a book with a title “EFFECTIVE DRIVING TECHNIQUES THAT SAVES LIFE”. Now this book will teach all the techniques you must apply to become an effective driver and any one that reads and applies what they have read becomes an effective driver.
Anyone interested in updating his or her knowledge in the subject treated in the book will simply buy this book read, digest and apply what you have learned.
As you read and assimilate this book, you enter into the authors mind and extract some new information on the subject treated. This extracted information improves your knowledge bank such that when next you drive a car, you become conscious of the need to drive effectively. You apply this knowledge by reflex action as if programmed.
The insights you acquired by reading the book will enable you to counsel others on this issue of using effective driving technique any where the issue is discussed. As you counsel, lecture or teach others in this particular area you become a leader in that subject and it also impacts on your driving skills.
ii) Reading makes you an authority
Reading has the capacity to empower you. It is a known fact that you can become an expert in any subject you desire by researching it, reading it up and applying the knowledge gained to move ahead of your peers. As you become more knowledgeable you develop into a leader as other people too lazy to apply themselves the way you did by reading, ask your opinion on those areas they perceive you have better understanding.
iii) Why you must read books
I make bold to say that books from what we have discussed so far, are priceless opportunities. To further buttress my submissions above, I declare that the easiest way to lead others in this 21st century is to read books for the following reasons:
1. Books expose you to other cultures enabling you to relate with people from diverse cultures.
2. Books remove ignorance from you and make you highly knowledgeable.
3. Books give you access to millions of authors minds thus making you wiser
4. Books make you better prepared to take opportunities boldly in business
5. Knowledge acquired by reading makes you a role model in your locality.
6. Application of the insights you have makes you a refined person
7. Books help you achieve your purpose due to exposure to good information
iv) Still not convinced?
Reading books expands your mind such that your life will hardly ever remain the same thereafter.If you dare to apply the nuggets of knowledge acquired through dedicated reading of an area you are passionate about, your horizon becomes enlarged and your world expands tremendously.
Conclusion and suggestions.
I urge you to grab a book on any topic you are passionate about and read with an open and inquisitive mind of a baby, eager to either prove my submissions totally right or wrong.
I wish to reiterate the fact, that readers are leaders and urge you to become an avid reader if you desire to become a man of influence in this information age.

How to control procrastination
Introduction
This fifteen letter long word, has amongst many factors been the worst cause of mediocrity, indolence and lack of aspiration attributed to a lot of people in our planet. Procrastination hinders many people from achieving anything worthwhile in this life. As a result of this setback, they are unable to archive meaningful objectives mainly because they refuse to take action. They make it a habit, to put off things they ought to do immediately as long as they could, hoping to tackle the job or assignment at a more favourable future, which of course we all know never really comes. So days turns into weeks, and weeks into months, and months into years, but the person remains in the grip of this habit. This process continues until this habit forms in stone and becomes difficult to break. This habit, gains a stranglehold on the neck of its captive, as it totally saps their will to act on anything meaningful thereby, rendering them incapable of initiating and completing any project no matter how easy the task my be.
* Motivation enters
At this stage the need of the captive to this debilitating habit, is for a quick solution that will free that person, to enable him or her live a fulfilled life once again. Because every action that has a beginning, must of a necessity have an end, the application of Motivation with less number of letters, but with a better sound to the ears comes to the rescue. And all that person suffering from this habit needed to do, was to find solace against the total powerlessness they once felt in the vice like grip of procrastination, by being motivated to act.
* How does motivation tackle procrastination?
All the person under the grip of this bad habit needed to do, was just to utilise emotional therapy to cure this problem. The person is simply made to be interested in a vocation, an assignment, a business proposal, a talent discovery or a hobby etc. As this person is engaged in this new found love and gets absorbed and consumed by this new activity, there is a sudden discovery of self. This new habit being formed now creates a reawakening of his hitherto dead sense of living a purpose driven life. As this person comes to terms with the reality of his or her former state, and attempts to shake off the yoke of procrastination, the death knell of procrastination is rung. Since there can never be a vacuum in our minds,a new pattern of positive thought is formed and reinforced, leading to the replacement of the old despicable habit with a better one.
* Enter passion
As day turns into night and a fresh day dawns, complete commitment and passion for the new way of life is ignited and comes to a peak. The person sings a new song of freedom which soon reaches a crescendo as passion overwhelms procrastination completely. The persons new attitude, creates so much difference in his or her former way of life. As motivation stimulates passion, the person regains all lost glory and now rules his or her world. Confidence grows, leading to a bold declaration of independence for ever.
* Freedom expressed
That person hitherto under the influence of procrastination now restored, is motivated and empowered to launch out on their new found vocation or assignment, with total liberty, excellence and zeal to achieve meaningful goals. Having won this battle, that person becomes a shining example of the power of the mind, to achieve whatever it desires unhindered by procrastination. As a matter of fact that person now becomes a crusader, fighting a battle to annihilate this evil by total commitment to excellence and productivity due to passion.
* Advice
To beat procrastination, search your mind and pursue any goal you have chosen with great passion and singleness of purpose. You overcome a bad habit, by replacing it with a better one. Consistent performance of the new habit, stimulated by passion soon replaces the bad one forever. Just dare to create a change in how you respond to internal stimuli, and it will manifest in a changed life. You must realize that your outer world is a mirror of what your inner world transmits.
Make that change now and transit from a person that procrastinates to a goal getter.
Yours in success,

Decision the key to winning in life.
The key to winning in life and in any endeavour is decision. The day you decide to stop wasting the scarcest resource, time and do something tangible with your life, something changes in your mental thought pattern.
You move from the unknown to the known territory. That decision you made to go to school, to get additional education, to run for a political office, to open that business, to be a teacher, a lawyer, a musician e.t.c is what really makes the difference. You just made a choice. There is popular saying that “it is better to do something imperfectly than to do nothing perfectly”.
Decision carries you to the land of opportunities where dreams come true. Why you may ask? Because decision is a well thought out plan, a capital project or a move one makes when one is at crossroads or at the threshold of a new dawn, a new beginning, a fresh start. One yes decision, takes you a step further to the chosen field where you hope to deliver a product or service with a passion for excellence. To lead the field in your niche, you must stand out, rather than live the normal dull routine life you were used to.
You must realize that the reason you were not able to achieve anything tangible in life was because you never really determined to do so. If you give this my assertion a thought you will realize that my claims may be true.
I challenge you today to step out of the regular mould of people and choose to make a difference. Step out of the fold of the faceless humanity and become a face to be noticed.
In closing, recognize that you were born to succeed because when the almighty God breathed into you the breath of life Gen 1:31, he passed a judgement work tested and certified very good.
So step out of the fold of people with no ambition boldly in faith and be the person you were created to be a masterpiece of the creative intelligence called the almighty God.
Yours in success

Confidence; the key to fear
Introduction
What you fear most in your life has an uncanny habit of becoming reality.Fear can be described as false evidence appearing real (F.E.A.R). This acronym defines what fear really is. Fear stimulates a strong belief, that something we do not like or something bad will happen, even when we do not have any real proof or justification for our feelings.Your mind is programmed to absorb everything it sees but it is left to you to select what to believe and what to reject. What you feed your mind with, is what it will believe.
* Why do we fear
We fear the unknown, we fear because we have no real knowledge about a thing. We fear because the human mind relies on experience to achieve confidence. Having identified the cause of fear, we can now move towards finding the solution to fear.We fear because we do not have any record of achievement(s) to rely on in that area or thing we fear. So the key to fear is to dare to do the thing we fear and gain experience in that area or thing you fear.
Let us illustrate the truth of this assertion I just made. Take the fear one gets the first time one attempts to drive. You will notice that this fear gradually wanes and fades away with daily practice until one can drive almost automatically without seeking for where the gear of the car is or where the accelerator or break is. We know almost mechanically what to do with the car and so become very confident and relaxed.
* Gaining confidence
Fear disappears when the mind gains confidence by doing the task we dread. Another common illustration we can readily refer to is that of a toddler who is learning to stand and walk. When you observe the child, you will notice that it fears to stand or walk but that fear does not paralyse it from trying to get up or to walk. From constant practice, that baby step will one day metamorphose into a joyful run.The above scenario plays out in our lives daily as we attempt to do anything worthwhile. My suggestion to all is to do that very thing that terrifies you and master fear in that area. We must not freeze when we are challenged by situations we have never handled before. I urge you not to run from what you fear, but rather run towards the source of fear. You will soon pleasantly discover that the fear was in you to energise you to take action and master that situation you fear.
* Advice
My advice to everyone is to attempt to do great things, make big plans, give that speech, take that medical test, go for that surgery, drive that car, and enrol for that course. Do something, do anything and don’t be immobilized by what you fear. Run towards what you fear, radiate boldness against all odds and soon fear melts away.Stand to be counted, breast that tape, my friend because you are a winner, I say to you fear not.
Yours in success

IDENTIFY YOUR TALENT AND CAPITALISE ON IT
Identify your competence; know for certain your area of strength. Identification of your natural endowment is paramount in this life. Without this singular act of finding out who you are, what you are blessed with by God to effortlessly deliver, you would be in a very great confusion as one may be likened to a man trapped in an arena with wild animals striving to attack him.
This confused state of the man can be likened to a situation where these wild animals attack the man from all directions. You can imagine the sorry state and picture he would paint as he whirls around in a circle in a bid to defend himself from his predators. He turns around aimlessly and soon becomes worn out thereby falling prey to his wild attackers.
So it is with a man that has failed to seek a clear cut choice out of myriads of life’s activities. I urge you therefore to identify your capability; capitalise on it and bloom in that area.
You know my friend God picked you out for greatness. He said before you were born in Jeremiah 1: 5 of the Holy Bible, He knew you. He, God knew you and planned you to be a positive wonder to your generation. So go to him in prayers and ask for direction. He knows you more than you know yourself. Meet him and he will begin to direct your footsteps to the very thing you were created to fulfil on this earth.
To point out whom you are and what areas of strength may be found in you, ask yourself this question, what is my gift? Begin to look towards those things you do effortlessly, those things that give you joy, those things you do without tiring, things you can even do for free because you enjoy doing them, your hobbies, even chores in your home you do and enjoy may be pointers to what you have been set up by God to fulfil.
Identify this thing and flourish because that originally was God’s agenda for you. Your success is guaranteed in this thing, this area of intense interest is who you are.
Find it and you are on your way to fulfilling it and having an awesome experience.
Yours in success

DECISION DETERMINES YOUR DESTINY
Introduction
In this life, everyone starts on an equal footing. Except for those whose benevolent parents or relatives left money, everyone must create their own destiny. Henry Ford was quoted as saying “that if you think you can or you think you cannot you are right”. In other words, whatever you choose to make out of your life, it is up to you.
The truth is that life has no friend or foe. It can be good or bad. It is really up to you to choose what to make out of your life. You become its friend or enemy to the extent you are able to master or break its principles.
So what are lives great principles and how do we harness and apply them to live a good life? Lets learn how below.
Ask pertinent questions
One of the great principles of life is that you must decide to do something and make the commitment to accomplish what you have decided to do. To discover the route to take towards achieving your life’s purpose, you may ask yourself some pertinent questions such as: What exactly am I here to fulfil in this life? Why am I alive? Is it just to eat and drink, sleep and wake up, grow old and die? Is it to get married and have children? Or is there more to this life than I can see?
Having asked those soul stirring questions the next step is to answer them frankly.
Give quality answers
Answering those questions for many people is an enormous task. While for others the answer does not matter at all. For a few others, the answer is crucial and could lead to the attainment of anything worthwhile in this life.
Answering above questions becomes critical for a few individuals who have made that decision to become persons to be reckoned with in this life. For them, every minute spent on this planet must count for something.
Time is a wasting asset. Time is valuable and utilised to create a preferred future. Time is quantifiable and attached to achievement of worthy goals. Time must not be wasted because any time used up pursuing a worthy cause or wasted by doing nothing, can never be replaced or recovered.
After giving quality answers to those questions, you must identify the exact vocation you must pursue.
Identify where you belong
After giving quality answers to those questions, you must identify the exact vocation you must pursue.
Consider the above thoughts and identify where you belong. Are you one of those people searching for that “one thing” or are you careless about what the day brings? Any how you look at it and no matter where you fall in, the critical question that arises, is how to move your life from the level it is to a higher level? You owe yourself the task of identifying your place in life and giving the pursuit and realization of your vocation the maximum effort it deserves.
The solution
Decide to make a difference, choose to stand for something and choose to become great. The next thing to do is to start. Have the courage and enthusiasm to pursue your choice passionately.
Following above mentioned steps with dedication to your chosen field of endeavour, will undoubtedly lead to the attainment of your goals. You will achieve your goal if you are determined to do so. Just pursue it with the dexterity of a bulldog after an elusive bone rather than remaining still. The law of motion states that “nothing will move until a force is applied to it”
Make that choice today to create a better future for yourself. Do something valuable with your time or life. Don’t just drift along and live a worthless life.
A word is enough for the wise. Be among the wise and let your decision determine your destiny.
Yours in success,

In this life, everyone starts on an equal footing. Except for those whose benevolent parents or relatives left money, everyone must create their own destiny. Henry Ford was quoted as saying “that if you think you can or you think you cannot you are right”. In other words, whatever you choose to make out of your life, it is up to you.
The truth is that life has no friend or foe. It can be good or bad. It is really up to you to choose what to make out of your life. You become its friend or enemy to the extent you are able to master or break its principles.
So what are lives great principles and how do we harness and apply them to live a good life? Lets learn how below.
