Who are You?




When you wake up each day, what do you do? Do you have some fancy routine to get you in the mood of work or do you look forward to another day of being human. What you do comes from who you are and who you are should not come from what you do. Many people have lives they never get to live, goals they never get to accomplish and dreams they never get to achieve. The direct thought of questioning should be why? While there are many stipulated projections as to why an individual always seems far away from his or her intent toward living, my direct observation is simply they do not believe enough in anything they put their minds to. What they believe in instead is hope. Hope that one day they will achieve this or that. Hope is not bad, in fact, to hope keeps your desire for a better day alive but to hope in an idea is to not have one. If I woke up hungry and would like to eat some eggs with bread cheese, jam and a cup of tea and having none in the house I hope, then if no one brought me what I desire, I would not have it. Also, if someone did bring me something to eat but not what I expected or wanted, then I have just been given what was available.
Everyone has a dream to achieve, a desire to bring to life. Even though not everyone will be successful, everyone should try. Each individual, young or old, intelligent or slow, outspoken or internal, has a special ability and way of doing things that works for the benefit of all people; directly and indirectly. Every created being has that function to contribute just as every element in a plate of food brings some form of nutrient to the body. The question is can everyone thrive!
To thrive in this context is not to be the greatest, best and most educated at something but is simply to be alive in the way that you were created to be. The most common example is a fish out of water. Regardless of the type of fish and the position they hold in the water-fessed ecology, all fishes thrive in water because all fishes can and were made to swim. As an individual, you were created to thrive as what you are. Everyone was born to be something to everyone: Einstein was science to us all, Mozart, composer, Edison, inventor, Maradona, footballer, as well as other life content providers who have filled our lives with virtue, electricians, teachers, cleaners, drivers, helpers, guards, investors, entrepreneurs, media, health workers and the list is endless. In one or more of these fields, every human being will find peace and contentment in their daily practice.
So, where does the practice of unreliability, inefficiency and unsatisfactory work experience come from?! It comes from wrong pegs in wrong holes either for us as individuals or the others around who work with us. Happy people make for a happy atmosphere and the reverse is true also. If everyone, instead of seeking better paying jobs, better quality of perceived environment or even better people to work with, just did daily, what they could to make their environment better while ensuring they are in the place of their natural placements, everything might not be perfect, not at first, but day by day, they will work towards a perfect internal day.
The influence of external forces cannot be overlooked as there will be challenges from changes in administration, leadership, governments, corporate direction, international relations, tensions, unrest and the common human inter-relational challenges but herein lies a plus, everyone will know where they belong, who they are and what they were meant to be and do. You can also be this way, in everyday you do not just work or serve, you know why, you know to whom and you know the function of your purpose. Every human being was made to thrive, to thrive as a part of the societal community in whole and in parts. Take today to think about everything you know, there-in lies who you truly are. I encourage you to start today to know who you are, find yourself in God who created you and begin to work as part of the engine of your community so we all can benefit from the thriving gift called YOU.

Sometimes I Wonder

Sometimes I wonder what life all means. Some days are fantastic while others are just plain and simply tough to deal with. To be alive is a gift given by God who made all living creatures to experience the existence called life. In life there are very many challenges, most of all, the challenges of being human. Every single person that walks the earth has some idea or theory on how they feel life should be lived. The rich dominate the poor, the strong dominate the weak. This is a fact of life that has proven that there cannot in fact be anything remotely close to equality in life between humans. However, there exists a theory in spiritual belief that all men are made equal. However true this is, it still possesses a fundamental flaw in its theory; those at the helm of leadership in these spiritual or religious structures are then treated like small gods which followers worship at the very cost of their lives. What is true about the human being remains true simply in fact, not ...

A WORLD OF CHOICES

Every moment of life is a blessing. Is it? Sometimes things are really good and in those times we are all the things we wish to be and yet other times, not so good and we are worse than grumpy Charly, Femi or Chinedu. Ultimately Life is life. Life is made up of choices, constant choices. When to eat, when to drink, what to eat, what to do… the list is limitless. It is almost insanity to think of all the people that have walked the earth from the very first man on earth; the very first being which we all have come to agree upon as Adam (in His various forms and cultural elements). But this too is a fact: there was a first man. When we are born, we are oblivious of the world we are about to inherit, everything is so simple. Suddenly it no longer is and everything comes at you at such a rush: go to school, learn the language, help at home with chores, make friends, learn diplomacy, human relations and take advantage of opportunities, feed the dogs, mow the yard, milk the cows, te...

The Honest Truth

After many years of working with very many types of people, I have discovered a common challenge. Most people usually have their solutions just around them but are unable to tap into it. The surprising thing and twist is that once they begin to see and experience it, they suddenly want to control it, when they do, they go back to how things were in the beginning: comfortable. This can be said for the case of Africa as a whole and her people in parts. Our solution does not lie in support from external parties, it lies within. It always has and always will. Although we cannot eradicate the support and influence from an external source, we need to properly propagate such waters and be aware of our own circumstances. Th question would arise many times, how can I achieve my dream, hoe can I do this and how can I do that. My answer to such clients is quite simple: 'Do it'. Many times they do not believe me and go ahead to do nothing. But when they pay me to help them, then they,...
