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”.
