TWO MILLION CLOTHES FOR CHARITY

Growing up as a teen on the streets of Obalende has shown me that a girl can 'hawk' or sell herself just to eat and get clothings. Boys can steal just to keep clothe on their body. In 1998, I received a vision to to reach to the youths and the less privileged. That's the brainchild of our coming together. To provide succor for those we can, for someone whom today is a little less privileged. Someone out there can benefit from what we have.

Our goal and desire is to gather 2,000,000 clothes for the poor. A larger part of this will be washed by celebrities and willing individuals. Our primary goal is to create awareness and motivate Nigerians and Africans to always remember the poor especially the naked because we will always have them in our midst. Let's encourage people to give out what they are about to throw out from their wardrobes. Africa has always waited for relief materials from foreign donors but how can we ourselves help ourselves?

1. As part of activities marking my birthday on Sept 18th, I will want us to give out the first 200 clothes from the 2,000,000. And on December 12th another 2000 so that people can have clothes for December. We will be helping to reduce crime and atrocities by this. You can help by donating clothes or helping in gathering from people who have to donate.

I am gathering clothes here in Lagos for charity and I also have some Exercise books. The essence is to give them to those who truly need hope.

On my birthday, Sept 18th, I'll like to flag off some of the projects by taking the things I have, to IDPs, orphanage, Schools and indigent children but I can't do it all alone. So I need a team especially reps in each state

2. We want to hold Wash for charity in Lagos on the 12th of Dec and a national Wash For Charity grand finale on May 28th 2016. Wash for charity is an initiative to turn public attention, people's attention to the naked in the society. There so many less privileged walking amongst us on the streets, even next door to us.

The idea is to generate awareness for the project using celebrities and the general public

Can I add you to a list of volunteers I already have?

To volunteer 4 WASH FOR CHARITY click www.eventbrite.com/e/wash-for-charity-2000000-clothes-for-c…

Let's exchange ideas and information.

3. You can also be a part of the stay in School project. We have some exercise books to donate freely to schools or IDP camps with school or indigent children. The goal is to produce 10,000 exercise books for free donation as Part of our educational support. At the moment we only have 500 books.Other plans include providing a free lunch bag, food & water flask, a pen, a pencil, so that in the Bag, an under privilege child can have one lunch bag, 10 exercise books a pen, a pencil and a May be a mathematical set. You can decide how you can come in, whether it's in cash or in kind. God bless

4. You can recommend an orphanage or charity home or School or any one you know needs all the above mentioned.

5. It will be a gr8 idea to have representatives in every state in Nigeria. We need to be on the team, everyone, to the schools and orphanages. At the moment we have a rep in maiduguri, cameroun, jos and the bulk of us are in Lagos.

Motivation Channel: YOUR VISION IS YOUR MOTIVATION - Empowered Vision ...

Motivation Channel: YOUR VISION IS YOUR MOTIVATION - Empowered Vision ...: Vision is the engine that keeps you going while passion is the fuel that drives you. So while passion keeps you moving (in motion), Vision...Your vision is your best raw material, the one you need to succeed in life. Your vision is one of your greatest assets in the world. When you believe in your dream/vision, it begins to attract its own resources.

YOUR VISION IS YOUR MOTIVATION - Empowered Vision Series - 07

Vision is the engine that keeps you going while passion is the fuel that drives you. So while passion keeps you moving (in motion), Vision keeps you steady; it keeps you together. 

You won't be wrong to say your Vision is your Drive or the spirit that moves or motivate you to take certain cause of action(s).  

Don't lose your vision, so that you don't lose your steam. Don't lose your vision so you don't lose your drive.

Often, you see people give up and become beaten by life or circumstances, the simple reason is the fact that they've lost their vision; their motivation. They’ve allowed temporary things, things substandard to their vision/destiny overwhelm them.

When you see or hear of suicide victims or those who've attempted suicide, you discover that they somewhere along the line lost their motivation for living. When people loose their hope for living they start dying.

What is Hope? Hope is expectation of what is yet to come. You don't see what you hope for physically most times but you see it as something you are expecting or anticipating; usually you see it as a Vision. You begin to envision whatever it is you are hoping for. You have a vision of that thing. 

Therefore Vision is a source of hope; it’s a source of courage; it’s the source of perseverance in the midst of difficulty. Your vision becomes a source of motivation.

Stop holding on to your past, Stop holding on to your failures, they will keep you in bondage if you dwell on them. "Tomorrow contains more joy than any yesterday u recall". Hold on to ur vision, don't give up on it; Keep believing.. We can have faith in the future only if we have faith in ourselves .

When Paul said "...I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus" in Philippians 3:13-14, He was sharing his vision, his motivation with us. 

Paul kept the vision of the prize of the upward call of God and that became his drive.

Vision gives us endurance.

In the second verse of Hebrews 12, it says “Jesus for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God”. Here vision is being referred to as the joy set before Jesus. In the same verse, we are encouraged to fix our eyes on Jesus as our example.

The cross even though it was meant to make Jesus give up couldn't because Jesus had His eyes fixed on the Big Picture; His vision. 

Each time you are down, just look at your vision it will motivate you. Your vision should motivate you. There is light at the end of the tunnel for you, Don't give up on ur vision.

One other way vision provides motivation is that it gives you joy. A vision is meant to give you joy. Vision is an enzyme for motivation. When a vision enters ur heart, it releases an enzyme call JOY which serves as a catalyst for your fulfillment/success.

I remember catching a vision as a teenager in 1998 at Discovery for Men organized by Pastor Taiwo Odukoya, I went in as a boy & came out as a man. I even had to trek home that day cos of the joy released into my heart.

That's what vision does to an individual. Your Vision should propel Joy in You.

Your Vision may not look like what you desire now, don't worry your vision will give you joy, one day soon. Just hold on to your vision, don't give up. Keep believing, It will happen for you one day when you least expect.

You may be working for somebody today, don’t lose your own vision.

You may be going through hard & difficult times, fret not, the vision God gave you will still come to pass. You may be down in that valley of decision today, God will bring you out & your vision will come true.

Your vision may be way bigger than your, do not let it weigh you down, God can and He will see you through.

No one was born to be a failure. U need to have faith in the future & have faith in yourself; start living your dream.

Spend at least 10-30 minutes on your personal vision daily & see great results.

Your vision is your best raw material, the one you need to succeed in life. Your vision is one of your greatest assets in the world. When you believe in your dream/vision, it begins to attract its own resources.

My desire is to see you Achieve MORE, I believe in you & I know you will succeed.

Dear friend, there is light at the end of the tunnel for you because your vision was given to you to motivate you.

Remain blessed in Jesus name.

I appreciate your feedbacks, Thanks

EMPOWERED VISION 06 - VISION IS THE ART OF SEEING WHAT IS INVINCIBLE TO OTHERS

(THE 4TH DEFINITION OF VISION - ON THE JOURNEY OF EMPOWERED VISION)

Vision is the art of recognizing opportunities. Daniel records in Daniel 10:7  "And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they fled to hide themselves". The people around Daniel never saw what Daniel was seeing. The vision Daniel saw, made him superior to others. The people around Daniel became inferior to Daniel because of the Great Vision Daniel received.

One surest way to lead and remain different in any given stance/field is to have a superior Vision. Vision is one thing that God gives you that makes you superior. 

It is my prayer that you alone will see that vision that will make you the reference point in your sector. This year you will see what your competition and colleagues will not see.

Like Daniel, you will see/conceive the vision that will make you stand out where ever you are or where ever you go in Jesus name (Amen). Vision takes you into the future before others get there.

Vision makes you stand 'head above shoulder': Your vision can make you stand head above your mates.  

Vision helps you recognize growth & opportunities others wouldn’t see.

Anyone who has ever invented something has had the privilege of seeing what others were not seeing. They've had the benefit of doing what others haven't done; that's the power of vision.

You are one information away from your next level of success or your next breakthrough. The difference between failures and success is information - MIKE MURDOCK. 

When God said He would do much more than we could ever ask or imagine (Ephesians 3:20), i believe He was also referring to releasing the power of vision.

The Encarta Dictionary defines Invincible as:-  

1. UNBEATABLE (too strong or skillful to ever be defeated) -Your vision makes you unbeatable.

2. TOO DIFFICULT TO OVERCOME (so great or difficult as to be impossible to overcome)-Your vision makes it difficult for you to be easily overcome. Have you noticed that “men and women of vision rarely die easily?

3. DEEP ROOTED (too deep-rooted or ingrained to be altered) – when you see anyone who is into his or her vision, they are not easily manipulated or convinced to ‘chicken-out’.

Anyone given to vision stays the course/cause even when others have long given up. Vision makes you deep rooted.

I recently read a story of a female African entrepreneur producing African-crop cereals to feed African infants, her name is Marie Diongoye Konaté of Mali. Her nickname is “L'insubmersible.” The Unsinkable.

Born in Mali, this West African lioness founded her multi-million dollar baby cereal company, Protein Kissèe-La (PKL), in 1995 with only 600 Euros in capital.

She used her own money to set up her small food processing operation, which became known as “an African miracle,” because big banks wouldn’t give loans to new small businesses such as hers, and she wanted to show it was possible.

Inspired to create a nutritious infant porridge that parents could feed their infants quickly and affordably, Konaté first bought a used milling machine, and then rented a stand in a market in Abidjan, the capital of Côte d’Ivoire.

Her aim was to set up a local business, using local crop inputs, to produce highly nutritious fortified infant food, affordable to the poorest of the poor.

Konaté thought it made no sense at all that in Africa “We export what we produce and import what we eat!” even though Africa has the second fastest growing population on earth, doubling in size to 1 billion in the past 27 years. It is projected that this could almost double again by 2050! (Remember, high growth means high opportunity. Young people are an important emerging market within emerging markets! Think about it).

She first asked herself the question - "why must African parents feed their infants imported infant cereal when ingredients are produced locally?"

Konaté’s vision identified both a need and an opportunity to provide local homegrown (non-imported!) infant food as answers to widespread child malnutrition problems especially when giant multinationals like Nestlé and Danone were feeding imports to Africa’s children, while local farmers were growing many of the same nutritious crops, to be fed only to animals . . .

So, she resigned her salaried job and embarked into her own business, taking on some of the largest companies on earth, who remain her fiercest market competition! In Ivory Coast, PKL moved up to second in the powdered milk market, that has Nestlé and Danone. 

Konaté has faced several challenges in the past 20 years – huge international competitors, post-election civil war, and economic turbulence, among others.

One of the biggest crises that nearly sunk PKL about 10 years ago years was toxic waste dumped by a ship, right near her baby food factory. This is may be one reason why they call Konaté unsinkable! (cue from (Strive Masiyiwa #‎AfricanLionessRoar - @StriveMasiyiwa))

Marie Diongoye Konate’s vision made her compete with the giants of agribusiness in Africa. Your own vision will bring you before kings and nations in Jesus’ Name.

Marie Diongoye Konate’s vision made her unbeatable, deep rooted and difficult to be kicked aside. 

Vision makes you relevant and immovable force in your sector/industry.

Often, it is not money that is the problem but the lack of a deep rooted vision.  The problem is not the lack of money but the absence of vision.

Vision will help you to be strong-willed, dogged. You need to believe in your vision and be strong-willed about it. The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams!

This week pick up your vision and take a 2^nd look at it and ask yourself if it's worth dying or living for? Is it worth taking a risk for? Ask yourself what you can do for your vision.

If you are not convinced about your vision or if you are in doubt, I’ll suggest you go to God in prayers and ask Him to help you give clarity & better understanding to your vision so that you can go all out for your vision.

When you connect yourself to God then you connect yourself to unlimited resources.

NEVER EVER GIVE UP ON YOUR VISION BECAUSE YOUR VISION CAN MAKE YOU UNBEATABLE, YOU BECOME DIFFICULT TO BE KICKED ASIDE & DEEP-ROOTED TO BE ALTERED.

May the Lord favor you this week.

Vision makes you outstandingly different.

EMPOWERED VISION 05 - VISION IS AN ‘EXPO’ INTO WHAT YOU ARE THAT IS INSIDE OF YOU THAT IS YET TO COME INTO REALITY.

Mike Murdock says "What you love is a clue to something you contain" and I dare say, what you contain (inside of you) is a clue your vision. The things that are inside of you are pointers to whom you are; or whom you ought to be; the vision of you.  

“You must decide if you are going to rob the world or bless it with the rich, valuable, potent, untapped resources locked away within you.” ― Myles Munroe, Understanding Your Potential

If God were to give you a slight peep into who you really are, you will be stunned with amazement and you won't be able to sleep, i can guarantee. 

Most times there is the need to see & know the vision of who we truly are, in other words, to see your real self. Vision is the ability to see your real self. 

When God created you He put a vision in you and thats who you truly are and not the faz (whim) or false life you are made to see on the outside.

You must have heard of this statement of fact "while we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal" (2 Corinthians 4:18). So, Vision is an ‘expo’ into what you are that is inside of you that is yet to come into reality or manifestation. It is in seeing those things that are deep / eternal inside of you, that you discover your vision.

“People think that their dream is outside of them. So they go looking for prophets – wanting somebody to prophesy to them". 

God hid your future in a place where He knew you couldn’t miss it. He hid it within you.

Vision is the insight into what God has in plan for you. In Jeremiah 29:11, God reveals his mind towards us "For I know the plans that I have for you, (declares the Lord) plans for welfare and not for calamity to give you a future and a hope. God has given you a future, a plan for your life and that's your vision. The vision of you. 

Vision really is God exposing the true potentials of your life to you in the midst of your present situation/conditions.

In Judges 6:12, the Angel called Gideon "A Mighty Man Of Valour (mighty warrior)" but gideon thought otherwise, he was dazed with amazement in contradictions to what the angel said even though it became obvious that the angel was addressing whom Gideon really was.

In a similar account (in Luke 1:26-30), The Angel Gabriel hailed Mary (the mother of Jesus) as "The Favored One", but Mary was greatly troubled at his statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation that was.  

The truth is that God always sees us in the vision He created us.

When we catch and run with the vision of our lives, we will become unstoppable.

You have being created to do more. Vision here is an eye-opener

I will love to end with a story and this quote from Oprah Winfrey (paraphrased) "THERE IS A VISION FOR YOUR LIFE THAT IS GREATER THAN YOUR IMAGINATION"

A beggar once approached a little boy who was an artist to make a painting of him. The little boy agreed and went on to paint the beggar but never reflected the beggar's present conditions or appearance. The little artist painted the (same) beggar on a corporate suit, designer white shirt, with a pair of gucci glasses, Bruno Magli shoes, a versace embossed leather belt & versace genuine leather watch. The man in the painting had his hair neatly cut and kept with 'wet lips' along his neatly arranged eye brow. The beggar stood speechless for minutes in awe (wonder) at the vision the little artist-boy had of him.

May God reveal to you the true vision of who you are.

EMPOWERED VISION 03 - VISION IS THE MENTAL PICTURE OF TOMORROW!

Do you have in your mind a clear picture of what your tomorrow is? Your vision must be clear as crystal not vague. A vague vision is not a good one; there are times where a vision may not be totally clear but it gradually unfolds. This is called a vision in process (many of us are in that state). Two things worthy of note is that Vision is not static & that vision is mentally visible (first & always), conceivable, (vision can be visualized).                                         

Do you have a clear cut picture of your vision? When you have clear cut vision in life/business, you have taking the first step out or away from obscurity/insignificance. It's when you've settled in clear terms what your vision is that you can then commit to paper, having a real genuine & meaningful Vision Statement.    

EMPOWERED VISION 02 - MYTHS ABOUT VISION

The future belongs to those who 

believe in the beauty of their dreams.

 ~Eleanor Roosevelt

One of the greatest problem of humanity; If not the greatest, is the problem of discovery; the problem of visioning! "For it is the glory of the Almighty God to hide the secret (the deep or uncommon) things of this world but it is the glory and honor of kings to find it (search it out). Proverbs 25:2

Finding vision in life is an assignment given to all.

MYTHS ABOUT VISION

1. Vision is Vision Statement: - Many have limited vision to just the writing down of vision statement(s). Vision is not just the writing of your vision statement or a set of visions on Paper but clear cut knowing & understanding of what you are to do and protecting it with your Life. Little wonder, many visions end on paper.
2.  (Quid crastina volveret ætas, Scire nefas homini.) Man is not allowed to know what will happen to-morrow: - The future is a world limited by ourselves. God has given us the ability & capacity to envision tomorrow (what is to come); we are only limited in our thinking/mind).
3.  (Calamitosus est animus futuri anxius). The mind that is anxious about the future is miserable: - there is nothing wrong about seeking the vision/future of anything because  If only our eyes can see beyond our today, then we won't suffer from impaired vision or being miserable. We won't sacrifice/destroy tomorrow today. The mind that cares about tomorrow, will not mortgage the future for things that expires now.
4. Man remains in the end what he started as in the beginning: - Vision changes any man's life except and unless you are unwilling to do something about your tomorrow today. Vision gives one's life a new meaning just as it did mine. God gave Abraham a new vision changing his life from Abram to Abraham. Abraham died at a ripe old age, an old man satisfied with life.

EMPOWERED VISION 04 - VISION IS THE INSIGHT INTO WHAT IS NOT IN EXISTENCE

“I think that the greatest gift God ever gave man is not the gift of sight but the gift of vision,”  “Sight is a function of the eyes, but vision is a function of the heart. When a person doesn’t have a vision, they live by their eyes. That means we live by what we see. That’s one of the reasons why people are so depressed, and that’s why the future never becomes a reality". 
Dr. Munroe says.

Vision is the art of Conceiving ideas that are yet to exist.  Alan Kay says "The best way to predict the future is to invent it". I quite agree with Alan and i'll like to add that one of the greatest way to invent the future is to have a vision. There is nothing wrong if the things you see in your dreams or vision don't exist now, God is just revealing to you things that will make you or your business outstanding. You are conceiving in your vision the future. It is a good thing to be in the future long before others. Imagine if you are already living in the future of that business sector that you are involved in, imagine how relevant & sought after you will become. 

The owner of microsoft once said, their vision was to always be ahead of their customers, so that when their "customers wake up", microsoft will be there (waiting). You can have a vision that keeps you ahead of the pack; ahead of your industry, ahead of your customers, etc.

Vision gives you the edge in your field; vision gives you insight into what is not in existence. God gives us ideas,  He gives us ‘What no eye has seen, what no ear has heard, and what no human mind has conceived’ – these are the things God has prepared for those who love him (according to 1 CORINTHIANS 2:9) – Some ideas that God gives you in the night, don't discard them. No matter how unimaginable they seem or how big they are, don't discard them. It may not make meaning now but tomorrow it will make sense. it may be the very idea that you need for your business success or for the success of your future, please don't discard it.

According to Barack Obama, We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it. Vision helps us to shape the future. Vision takes us into the future before we get there.

In closing, in  Daniel chapter 12, it was reveal to Daniel the things that will happen in the world long after Daniel had long died; the account also records in Daniel 12;4 "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased".

Has knowledge truly increased today or not? This is what Vision can do - it is the power of seeing what is not yet in existence.

LESSONS FROM THE GREAT HOUDINI

He was a Hungarian-American illusionist and stunt performer, noted for his sensational escape acts.

He freed himself from jails, handcuffs, chains, ropes, and straitjackets, often while hanging from a rope in sight of street audiences. He would regularly escape from jails as a publicity stunt. He toured many major towns and cities, and managed to escape from the town or city jail in every case BUT THERE WAS A JAIL-LOCK HE COULDN'T BREAK/UNLOCK.

His ability and acclaimed successes in unlocking any handcuff in the world earned him the name "Harry Handcuff Houdini". Houdini became widely known as "The Handcuff King." Houdini drew tens of thousands of onlookers who brought city traffic to a halt.

For many years, he was the highest-paid performer in American vaudeville. For most of his         career. In 1923, Houdini became president of  America's oldest magic company.

Houdini was locked in handcuffs and leg-irons, and then nailed into the crate which was roped and weighed down with two hundred pounds of lead. The crate was then lowered into the water. Houdini escaped in 57 seconds. The crate was pulled to the surface and found still to be intact.

Houdini introduced his own original act, the milk can escape. In this act, Houdini was handcuffed and sealed inside an over-sized milk can filled with water and made his escape behind a curtain

Houdini in his buried-alive stunt was buried without a casket, in a pit of earth six feet deep. When his hand finally broke unto the surface, he fell unconscious and had to be pulled from the grave by his assistants.

Houdini remained in a sealed casket submerged in the swimming pool of New York's Hotel Shelton for one and a half hours.

Houdini escaped after being strapped in a straitjacket, sealed in a casket, and then buried in a large tank filled with sand.

Houdini was magic's greatest visionary.
He had created the richest and longest-surviving organization of magicians in the world.

BUT THERE WAS A JAIL-CELL HOUDINI COULDN’T BREAK
There is indeed a story that Houdini was once placed in a jail-cell where he failed to escape even though the cell door was unlocked! Houdini tried and failed to escape even after he used all his lock-picks on the lock. After several attempts, he gave up and was only able to get out only when he leaned on the door upon his exhaustion, at which point it opened, because the cell had never actually been locked in the first place; unknown to him!

Why did Houdini fail? - LESSONS
1. Houdini believed the jail door was locked in his mind although the door lock was never locked.
Hence he was trying to 'unlock' a lock which wasn't locked!
2. The very reason Houdini stayed trapped was because all he knew was about, were locked doors
3. In his final days, he optimistically held to a strong belief that he would recover, but his last words before dying were reportedly "I'm tired of fighting”.

TODAY’S LESSON
-   Many at times, many of our limitations are in our minds.
-   We ourselves place limitations on ourselves and on our dreams.
-   Many times because of how life has treated us we tend to adapt to that particular side that life has meted (dealt) to us.
- We often use the word ‘I’m tired of fighting’, whether it’s in spoken or unspoken words. We mostly don’t say it out loud but, our approach to life and our dreams show it that “we are tired of fighting”.
- We often fail to fight for our dreams or what we believe in.

Don’t be quick to give up.
Fight for your dream.
Fight for what you believe in.
Inject life into your dream.
Don't get use to staying down
Don't stay down, the ground is too crowded. Aim for the top.
Don't be Myopic (narrow-minded)
Don't place limitations on yourself nor on your dreams neither on your vision. have you seen a fish that can't swim, or a bird that can't naturally fly? You will succeed!
You can be anything you want to be.
Be the best in whatever you do.
Never look down on your small beginnings
Be thorough & shrewd (pay careful attention to details).
No knowledge is a waste, be open to learn.
The very idea you ignore may be the one that will make you.
Even when you are exhausted (when you've tried everything), there is still hope.

God has given you a dream that will not die.....

EMPOWERED VISION 01 - THE QUESTION OF VISION

Those driven by Vision are most likely to succeed than those driven by survival. Sam Adeyemi

The 5th (most likely the last) question on the Journey of greatness is THE QUESTION OF VISION, it is the question of destination (destiny). 

It seeks answers to the questions of "WHERE AM I GOING? WHERE WOULD I BE? WHAT WOULD I BE?" 

Where will i be in the next 5-20 years? What is my destiny or destination? What is the tomorrow of my business/organization? 

You will become bold when you know what you were born to do and when you have the vision for your destiny. These 2 great discoveries are perhaps the 2 greatest discoveries of all times. This is the discovery of your (present) today and the discovery of your future (tomorrow).

If you would be honest, you will agree with me that most of us worry over tomorrow than the past. As a matter of fact, we are concerned the more about how today & tomorrow will go or end but only make reference to yesterday when there is the need. 

That is why i always say, If your today is richer than your tomorrow, there is a problem: there is a disconnect. We are supposed to be richer today than yesterday; richer tomorrow, than today.

Consider this, there are two types of people: those who spend their lives trying to build a future, and those who spend their lives trying to rebuild the past.

Most times the only thing we know about the future is that it is going to be different and so we have a choice, like Barack Obama would say, "We can either shape our future or let events shape it for us".

I'll like to encourage you to come on this JOURNEY OF EMPOWERED VISION with me as i breakdown in series of daily teachings, how you can discover, recover and empower your vision for a better tomorrow. 

In the next couple of days i'll be sharing insights that will motivate you and your team, secrets that will improve your performance, better you and your organization/business.

Stop haunting your past and try to drop in on the future. ~ Antonio Tabucchi

UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

TO UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING FOR YOUR EXISTENCE

You must "Ask Yourself this 4th Question in the Journey of Greatness. WHAT CAN I DO?

“The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry our their dream.”― Les Brown

The average human being on Earth has no idea about their ability! 90% of human population will die and never achieve more than 10% of their true ability; their full potential.

You need to ask yourself "WHAT AM I REALLY CAPABLE OF DOING, WHAT AM I REALLY CAPABLE OF ACHIEVING". The truth is that many in life are happy and content with 'status-quo', we never ask the questions that will take us to the next level. For every level there is a question you must ask and answer!

Rather than going to a job you don't like, working for a boss you don't like, earning a salary you are not happy with or hating and cursing every Monday because you have to go to work, why don't you ask what can i do?

Too many of us are not living our dreams because we are living our fears. what i am asking you to do today is nothing anyone can arrest you for. No one can arrest you for asking yourself a question just as no one can charge you for dreaming. 

There is nothing wrong in shooting for the moon even if you miss you'll land amongst the stars; today stars  are celebrated world-wide. You will be celebrated for trying.

In life, everyone wants to be successful. 

Have you ever seen anyone who says ''I want to be a failure"? 

Everyone wants to succeed but what is the problem? The problem is One of the primary reasons why the 'grave-yard' is the richest place on earth. The 'grave-yard' isn't the richest place because of the manure it produces but because it full of great mind who never became great men. Its the richest [place] not because of the number of coffins in it but because it has tenants who were gifted and talented but died poor.

There are so many people today dead or alive who never dared to dare. They never dared to become who God made them all because of FEAR. So many people because of the fear of failure (the fear of being labelled a failure) have resolved to wasting their time and potential earning less than they ought, enjoying (official) cars that's officially not theirs. What a tragedy!

There are so many people that will not succeed in life just because you have decided not to become whom God made you. There so many destinies attached to your success.

Imagine if you were created to find or produced a CURE for a certain disease and you didn't or you refused, imagine how many people will die from that disease. but if you do (fulfill your purpose) create the vaccine or drugs that cures that disease, you will be saving many lives and the result will be colossal. God and humanity will be happy you came.

Somebody's life and existence depends on that book you are yet to write, that song you are yet to sing, that message you are yet to preach, that record you are yet to break, that job/company you are yet to create, that school, that health-care center, institution you are yet to build.

Every author or hero was once "UNKNOWN".

REPOSITIONING FOR GREATNESS

(The third (3rd) question you must ask yourself on the Journey of Greatness)

Why did God really create me?

What is the purpose of my existence?

Have you ever asked why?

If you will care to ask,  the positive answer(s) you will get is your purpose or your set of purpose.

In case your answer is, ''God created me to be fruitful, to multiply and have dominion''.

Yes be fruitful, but be fruitful at what? Is at child bearing only!

Yes multiply, are you called to multiply babies?

If our sole purpose on earth is to be fruitful & multiply children then every home may end up becoming a Daycare center. Surely God created us for more than just raising children or family.

Is it for dominion? Dominion is a good one but I agree with Dr. Mensah Otabil, that God didn't create man to have dominion over man but over all things. That's is why 'NO ONE IS BETTER THAN YOU'. For you to have dominion you must be king or master over a domain as Myles Munroe rightly puts it.

What's your dominion?

For you to be fruitful, you must be reproducing something unique to you.

As for multiplication, after God created man He (God) rested because He created man to take over the business of creation and impacting the world. ''LET US MAKE MAN IN OUR IMAGE AND AFTER OUR LIKENESS''. Man is supposed to be like God and be doing same thing as God: continue to change things. As soon as God saw the earth was without form, He created form, created day and night.

Nothing around you is meant to remain the same as long as you are there, your primary call is have dominion and change (impact) the world for good.

No great person ever sits idle: they make things happen.

Purpose is what you are created to do or a set of things you are unique-ly created to do on earth.

So, what have you being created to do?

Your purpose helps you influence your world. Survival is not enough.

Crowd doesn't translate to truths... (Bishop Mike okonkwo).

It's not about the crowd; don’t join the band-wagon. Because everyone is doing & making money or succeeding at it doesn't make it your line.

What have you being created to do?

People die of frustration because they do not know why they exist.

Why fit in when you can stand out? Don't be lost in the crowd!

Move in the direction of your dream/purpose.

Stop blaming others for your failure.

Embrace the future and the destiny God has for you.

The bigger your destiny the bigger your preparation.

If our result must be different our approach must be different.
