Practice makes perfect

No matter who you are, no matter the line of work you are into presently, you can triple your productive capacity if you beg right now to practice all you know how to do and halt practicing those things you know you should not do. Success doesn’t come just by practice; you must practice right and do the right things.

Even the Holy Book attest to it in 1Tim 4:14-16 saying, “Neglect not the gift that is in you which was given to you by prophecy with the laying on of the hands of the presbytery. Meditate upon these things; throw yourself into your tasks so that everyone will see your progress, then take heed to yourself and to the doctrine; continue in them; for in doing this, you shall both save yourself and them that hear you.

Furthermore, Dr John Maxwell also gave us four pillars of practice we should incorporate into our daily lives in order to succeed.

1.     GET A GOOD COACH: Have you ever heard or seen a person go ahead to operate a factory machine without ever been taken through its working mechanism by an individual who knows more? What do you think would happen to the person? He would definitely not progress and could ultimately harm him or herself. That’s why you need to learn and grow by associating with the right persons considering your line of work.

2.     YOUR BEST EFFORT: Are you practicing in a way, a time and a place that allows you to give your best? Are you giving yourself incentives? The Book of Life, points out to Paul’s motivation. He always had in mind that a “crown is being held for him”. That thought drives him to give his best. What’s your own drive?

3.     A CLEAR PURPOSE: Certainty is the word. Be certain about whatever you are trying to accomplish. There is a saying that “Effort without knowledge is like speed without direction. So, define what you want to do so as to make your efforts drive you safely to your desired destination.

4.     THE RIGHT RESOURCES: What working tools have you invested in to make or help you excel? Is it reading to brighten up your horizon, working according to a doctrine or following some set rules and regulations to guide you?

Get this straight today; you only play if you practice well. So, where are you on the practice continuum? Just started? On a level of rapid progress? Have you made your greatest gains? Knowing your position helps you to know what you need to do. Get practicing because PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT.

10 QUESTIONS YOU NEED TO ASK YOURSELF ABOUT YOUR FRIEND.

“A friend in need is a friend indeed”. You would agree with me that this quote has been relevant for ages. But as it is, not everyone has been opportune to enjoy its significance.

Below are ten questions you need to ask yourself about your friend.

•  Is my friend committed to me?

• Is my friend willing to sacrifice/ share his or her most important asset such as time with me?

• Is my friend willing to go an extra mile to make sure I achieve my goals?

• Is my friend willing to share in my pain?

• Has my friend impacted my life positively in any way?

• Does my friend show up anytime I need his/ her assistance?

• Does my friend neglect important issues affecting my life for less important ones?

• Can my friend put up a strong defense for me in trouble times?

• Can I confide in my friend?

• Am I worthy to be seen with him/her?

Your answers to these questions would reveal to you how unfriendly your friend is or better still, tells you how close you should hold on to your friend.

THE CLINICAL INSTRUMENT.

Achieving success in life is determined by so many factors and as it is, motivation is one of the key factors to realizing a successful life.

    

   Motivation is a driving force that makes you to do something positive disregarding physical factors that might want to deprive you from achieving a set goal. Even the oxford dictionary defined motivation as ‘making somebody wants to do something especially something that involves hard work and effort’.

    

   The driving force attached to motivation could be gotten in so many different ways:

• 1.       It could come through your submission to God’s authority i.e. trusting in Him and putting Him first in all your doings.

• 2.       It could come through associating yourself with people of great values who have achieved lots of great things in life. You could even adopt them as your role models or mentors.

• 3.       It could also come through self confidence i.e. having the belief that you can do it, you can achieve it.

• 4.       It could also come by reading mind lifting motivational writings from prolific writers.

• 5.       It could also come by getting close to texts from the Holy book. Reason being that the daily confession of these inspirational texts from either the Bible or Quran could help towards guiding you to fulfilling your heart desires.

   The essence of motivation is that it gets you focused to accomplishing the set goals you have highlighted and to achieving things of utmost priority in life. It also assists to guide you along the road to achieving success in those set goals of yours and also shapes your life aspirations to its full realization.

   The detriments of lack of motivation in a life could bring about mediocrity in that person’s dealings. For instance, a person who is good at writing fiction stories and lacks motivation in this aspect might produce not well enough result with his ability.

WAYS TO GET SOMEONE MOTIVATED.   

1.       Show love and attention to the individual.

2.       Use kind and encouraging words.

3.       Enhance close monitoring and supervision.

   These would go a long way to getting an individual motivated because it makes the individual feel a sense of value.  Through this, hidden treasures, virtues, ideas, talents could begin to show up in the individual and your ability to back up the individual with these three (3) ways would not only save him, the nation but change the lives of the people around for the better.

  

   Lastly, motivation yields success. Your ability to get it through the Most High God, self, family, friends, or mentors who are positive minded is a clinical instrument to accomplishing great ideas, dreams and most importantly, living a successful life.    

LIVING HEALTHY.

Medically, health is a state of soundness of mind or state of feeling good. Today, there are many ways to achieving a sustainable health one of the most popular being through the use and production of organic food production.

WAYS TO EATING AND SUSTAINING A HEALTHY LIVING.
1. The addition of staple food such as fruits, plantain, banana, maize or corn, rice, bread to each meal would be best.

2. Concentrate on the consumption of high fibred foods and low in fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrate.

3. Drink plenty of water. Avoid drinking coffee or tea until 1-2hrs after meal that is, when the food ingested must have digested or left the stomach to ensure maximum amount of absorption of iron by the body supplied by the food ingested.

4. Youths should include food options that are rich in iron (especially females) such as dark green leaves, fish, red meat, liver and sorghum.

5. Youths should guard against diets that are high in saturated and low in fruits, vegetables and complex carbohydrates.

6. Try to get at least 3 meals per day and 3-6 snacks per day to create a healthy balance of all dietary needs.

7. Avoid sugar-rich, salty, sticky or processed food and ingredients that are difficult to digest because they cause premature ageing and inhibit healthy growth.

8. Exercise your body regularly for 15mins at a time.

9. Covering the mouth when coughing and washing of the hands regularly would go a long way in sustaining a healthy life.

10. 6-8hrs of sleep at least should be observed daily and siestas throughout the day. 20-30MINS of siesta is alright during the day.

11. Grow, buy and eat food locally to improve body health. SHUN OR AVOID CANNED OR PROCESSED FOODS.

Today, the unsettling realities of unhealthy eating practices have increased risk of diseases such as heart failure, diabetes, malnutrition, obesity and so on.

THE HIDDEN SECRET ABOUT LIVING A FULFILLED LIFE.

On an account of discussions made between me and my mentor, Rev Peter O. Adenmosun, President of the Christ Total Gospel Ministries International, United Kingdom. He shared with me one of the secrets to getting fulfilled in life. He specifically told me, “Dayo, one aspect of my life I wouldn’t joke with is my continual devotion to investing in people”.

I sighed on hearing that. Perhaps I didn’t understand. As time went on, I pondered on that piece of thought and soon adopted his word. Now, I can boldly share with you that investing in people is the beginning of not only living a fulfilled life but also adds elements of integrity and values such as being responsible into your life.

The benefits attributed to this are endless. Some of which are;

1. It unlocks doors of opportunities for you.

2. It keeps you on track in the sense that you have people around you who can guide your foot steps to achieving a fulfilled life.

3. It registers a trademark of responsibility and integrity on your chest. You get optimum respect anywhere you go.

4. It unlocks the chains of valuable connections that could catapult your dreams to fulfillment.

5. Everyone wants to associate with you for one reason or the other.

6. You become a figure of emulation in your vicinity & amongst your peers.

7. It keeps you at peace with everyone.

On the other hand, this golden value which I regard as a virtue is very easy to be developed. You can start by;

a. Putting a smile on someone’s face.

b. Helping the needy.

c. Contributing your opinions to the progress of your fellow human.

d. Being a volunteer to a progress minded institution by contributing to their aims and objectives.

e. Being of high relevance anywhere you are that even a 100 billion dollar can’t buy.

f. Show a high level of respect to even the smallest living entity. It develops a passionate feeling about you to others. This would definitely make anyone do willingly just anything for you to make you happy.

To conclude this, sharing a portion of your time, a percentage of your resources, being hospitable and your devotion bestowed upon people would never be regret. Try it and experience its good deeds.

To your success, “it’s all about influencing you positively”.

PLANNED NEGLECT.

A young concert violinist was asked the secret of her success. She replied “planned neglect”. Then she explained, when I was in school, there were many things that demanded time.

When I went to my room after dinner, I made my bed, straightened the room, dusted the floor and did whatever else came to my attention. Then, I hurried to my violin practice.

I found I wasn’t progressing as I thought I should. So, I reversed things. Until my practice period was completed, I deliberately neglected everything else.

That program of planned neglect, I believe accounts for my success.

Friends, I guess you now realise the importance of keeping your top priorities in place. Neglect distractions and always do the right thing at the right time and be at the most important place as at when due.

To your success, “IT’S ALL ABOUT INFLUENCING YOU POSITIVELY”.

HOW CAN YOU & I FORESTALL POLITICAL DISHONESTY IN NIGERIA?

Political dishonesty today has eaten deep into our so called leaders and in fact, it has started giving birth to young ones by the process of reproduction which consists of two deadly gametes, “the lies manager” & the “almighty greed manager”.

These two culprits are fast replicating amongst all and in fact, a dangerous disaster ready to happen is approaching speedily. Did you watch video clips of the show of shame by the House of Representatives lately? That is just a tip of the iceberg.

Imagine you and me in 9months time, working or schooling in an opportunity bound atmosphere to secure a promising future under a sane democratic government with great focus, potentials and sophisticated strategies.

Even, the Bible calls the attention of sane leaders in 2Corithians 8:21 saying: “provide honorable things, not only in the sight of the Lord but also in the sight of men”.

It’s high time you & I suggest ways to averting this demonic destruction by sharing your working strategies with others via our facebook discussion page . And lets forward this to the right government officials we have presently in anticipation of a liable change in the forthcoming new democratic dispensation.

We set to achieve this through an interactive platform with youths towards detecting their hobbies i.e. what they love doing best and also link them up with various institutions that could help nurture such abilities. By this doing, it would replace the dare ‘want’ for a white collar job as it would serve as a source of making a living for them later in future.

4. It also aims at organizing social gatherings where great achievers and inspiring speakers that would shake feet and catapult youths to take action to fulfilling their heart desires would be hosted.
