What are YOU Becoming !? Pt 9


Your current identity exists because of the disciplines you’ve been engaged in, and pending any changes, will keep engaging in, in the future. Take an example of someone whose identity isn’t one of a fit person. No matter the effort he puts into becoming fit, he won’t be able to sustain it, because his identity doesn’t match that of a fit person. You need to keep shifting your identity, with your NEW results, skills, emotional state or character. Let’s examine another example. Happy people, aren’t in that state, because of what happens to them or for them, but because of who they’re becoming. They’re happy because of the promises they keep to themselves and others. So, whatever they experience doesn’t change their emotional state. The same goes for peaceful people; they’re peaceful because of what they’ve come to understand about life. UNDERSTANDING brings REST.

Ways To Shift Your Identity

Your disciplines are the EVIDENCE for your current state in life. The same goes for success. See post, Being Resourceful Pt 8-9. If you want to keep shifting your identity, you need to keep improving and sustaining your disciplines.

Next, your association. Who you actively share your life with, plays a major role, on the quality of your life. You need to keep attentively observing the life of those you aspire to be, if you want your identity to improve.

Finally, you need to keep changing your controlling story/belief system. This is perhaps, the most important of the three discussed so far, and the main reason, why people get stuck in life. Your story is like the sign post and capacity of your life; everything starts, and stops there. In order to go further in life, and experience more success, you need to keep changing your story. For more on your controlling story, see post, Being Resourceful Pt 8.

Conclusion

In shifting your identity, you also have to let go of what’s no longer needed. Don’t allow an old character, story, emotional state, discipline or association, hold you back, whether they be good or bad. And remember, you have different identities prevalent in your life; one in your faith, relationship, career, health, finances; in every area of your life that matters. You have to keep shifting all of them at the same time, if you don’t want your life to implode.

Being Resourceful Pt 2

If it wasn't obvious in the last post, being resourceful is the key to getting anything in life. But this week, I want to focus on another underlying truth people neglect; one which their lives consist of, and that is,  experiences , and the treasures they hold. What Does Life Consist Of? Life is the combination of experiences. To live a full life, you need to fill it up with experiences. How many you may ask? As many as you possibly can. What kind? Ones that have learning opportunities. NOTE, don't confuse gratification for a learning experience; gratification is temporal, and if not checked could hold you back, but what you learn can live on forever. Just as there is benefit in experiencing new things, there is also loss, if you stop experiencing new things; you might as well be dead. We all know death is inevitable, but with a healthy obsession for growth, you have a good chance of keeping it at bay. More Than Meets The Eye Now, what is there in our experiences to glea...

Building A Thriving Business (What's at the VERY CORE) Pt 2

Image
Last, we talked about clearly defining roles for every team member, and the 20-80 rule. So this week, let's digg deeper into the rule. What Really Matters Some might think this is just talk, but don't be deceived, success is not by accident, it's planned. To build a thriving business you need to plan for it. Now, the 20% effort every team/business leader should be focusing on is not based on allocated activities; that will never yield 80% of the desired result. What I mean is that, they shouldn't be focused on taking 20% of the work; in fact that's even worse, because the team will see it as not pulling your weight. Rather the 20% effort is ensuring that every team member has BOUGHT INTO THE VISION. The Power Of One Voice When there is unison in a team, it is equivalent to an immense amount of energy that can break down a boulder. Unity in vision is what really matters. That's what ensures your team members remain vigilant and accountable even when you ...

What are YOU Becoming !?

Oh, there is so much desperation in Nigeria; so much perceived poverty, but WAIT! Does that mean we should treat ourselves like animals, with no regard or care, even to the point of killing one another!? There is NEVER a justification for that. The Truth Now most Nigerians may be desperate, but NONE is poor. This blog is all about being resourceful - using what you have to get what you want. And everybody is resourceful, in one way or another. Today I will be shedding light on one resource in Nigeria, that if FULLY utilised, will yield immense returns. Diamond In The Rough TRUST!! How if Nigerians knew that trust has value, and such value can become profitable for them. But people are so blinded by immediate returns, that they are missing out on IMMENSE returns. In whatever you do, if there is no trust between you and whomever you are reaching out to or in contact with, It won't be sustained. Trust is the one resource people cherish, and if they can find a trustworthy soul, Oh, how...
