The mindset we all had as kids growing up was those of a child full of vision and belief in ourselves. children without fear of the future, bright and confident in themselves and capable of taking steps without fear. What happened to you now? grown up with fear and a polluted mindset? Because that high school coach told you you can’t make it to the football team or  that cheerleader team leader don’t like you involved ?,  its not good enough for you to loose self confidence and hope in yourself. This is time rewrite the software program of your life and put on  the thinking hat and start believing in yourself again.

Because someone is more beautiful than you, think he/she is smarter or more intelligent than you is not enough for you to loose sleep over yourself.You have to break free from these mindset of i am not good enough, i can’t do it, no one has done it before, i am too old to succeed, its too late for me now!, i am not gonna get well i have had this problem a long time. Time for you to press the DELETE button and erase that stronghold out of your system holding you back. If you don’t do it now, no one else can do it for you.

You need to start deleting that junk of false believe telling you can’t do anything or rise higher or be better. shut-up that tiny voice screaming inside your head right now telling you how impossible  that task is to accomplish, who is the BOSS? you or the voice?, stop letting somebody tell you what you can or cannot accomplish, enough is enough and time to shift your paradigm of thought from what the world tell you you can accomplish or not. The laws of gravity did not stop man from breaking through the earth force fields and dominating and exploring space. there would be no laws of aerodynamics, flights and space vehicles if some group of men and women believed they could not accomplish much, instead they allowed the limitations as a break-field to support and nurture thier ambitions
It is time for you to step up today and ask yourself the big question “WHO AM I?
Why do i think this way? who programmed me to start feeling inferior? who programmed me to think that i am only to settle for average? Is it the environment you found yourself growing up? who told you it is normal just because you feel so? question yourself. Just because you grew up around people who did not have dreams,  goal or ambitions, or that other family members went around with  low self esteem, self inferiority complex. Do not make the mistake of thinking all these is normal because it isn’t.

Take a Leap of Faith Becuase You Can Succeed!

It is not too late to change if you would get rid of those mindset now and get in life with God, a belief in yourself and think of possibilities.There is still time to fulfil your possibilities. Don’t be part of the history that never made a difference in your society and the world. If you think you have reached your limit, yes you have because you have convinced yourself so. Nothing even the best psychologist can get you inline to change your mindset if your mind is not made up to accept change. You are your own best psychologist. When that voice keep singing in your head you can’t, say oh yes i can, when you hear its not impossible,  ignore the thought and speak possibilities in your favour.

Carl Lewis was a sport athlete and long jump hero who before his ground breaking round of 30 feet long jump, performed a feat no man had before his day. journalist and sport analyst said it was impossible to achieve a 30 feet  jump record and no man did before his day. Carl said i knew thoughts like that has a way of sliding down my feet. in that year he broke that record and ever since man has gone a step further beyond Carl Lewis bravery. As the experts and professionals said its’s impossible but he proved them wrong. Prove someone wrong today and don’t left your destiny and who you are or can be be dictated by someone else. They day you stop listening and paying attention to every form of negativity and impossibility is the day you are reborn!

“In an ever changing world there are principles that should govern your life. they explain why you do the things you do, and what you stand for.they are not just cultural norms,  religious doctrines or impositions, business strategies or response to market changes: they are non-negotiable that dictate how you live your life” —-culled from UCB word for today.

It takes a lot of courage and determination to live and work by a set of core values, as one who has been involved  from one leadership position to another i can tell you having a set of core values makes life easier and less cumbersome, we all admire and love quality works, a set of accomplished goal, good standards of life and discipline and all these rely on core values to accomplish astonishing results. I was watching the parliament meeting  in the house of commons on BBC 1 on  Wednesday 4th of may and one of the rules been passed on is the issue of more sex education for females between the ages of 13 – 16 years of age as a result of high pregnancy rates and less support prior to pregnancy from the people they love , and the law been passed on that day was a strong emphasis on Abstinence as a core value to which sex education is to be championed.This not only prooves the importance of core values but the importance and how it can help you and i live a much better and fulfilled lifestyle.

Be doers of the word and not just hearers
What you truly believes in determines how you act and manifest yor action steps on a daily basis. According to John Macy, Author the enemy called Average, “It means making yourself valuable to someone today…tackling a problem bigger than yourself’”…’getting to know God by studying his word, helping someone who can’t repay you,  not been afraid to ask for help,  doing today what you want to put off tomorrow.. remembering that the time and place to be happy is here and now… taking small steps to conquer bad habit… and evaluating your actions not by the harvest they produce, but by the seeds you are sowing.’

As a  man of principles nothing gives me greater joy than knowing i leave people a little better than the way I found them.Are you doing enough? if not how about taking a u-turn and making an impart in the world. remember the greatest legacy you could ever leave is not stone monuments nor names carved on streets,  the greatest of all legacies  is leaving  monumental imprints in the heart of people stamped by time —– Louis Redemption

The Partnership Factor

Partnership? how does this help improve my relationship you may say. what on earth this got to do with having a healthy relationship? If all these have  just plagued your mind , then go get yourself a drink and seat tight. Many people go into relationship not realising it is more than just snuggling or having intimate sexual encounter(s).If you want your relationship to be a lasting success, then you need to learn and understand that relationship is a partnership between you and your significant other. Learning to respect and appreciate the views, ideas, opinions, rights, duties and responsibilities of  one another is what makes your union strong. relationship is not an ownership. it cannot be owned or controlled by you. there is no boss. if you are able to realise and apply this one principle to your relationship, you are on your way to solving half the problem encountered in relationships

The Gratitude Mindset
A sign of appreciation is always a welcomed gesture in any relationship that wishes to stand the test of time. One of the worst feeling that one can ever encounter in a relationship is to not be appreciated. showing gratitude and a heart of thanksgiving towards good gestures showered upon you by your significant other .Never you underestimate what thank you can do for you.You must eradicate every ego and pride you have and exercise the spirit of humility and obedience to one another. It pays to humble oneself in a relationship and learn to appreciate each other. This simple  and often overlooked secret of healthy relationships will save you a lot of pain and heartbreak overtime.

Forgiveness
Do you have an open-heart to forgive a friend?, family member? or even your significant other? forgiveness is a big player when it comes to relationship. As humans we are all prone to error and offend each other. It is not the hurt that matters the most but the action you take to the hurt caused is the critical key. In other to have a vibrant and healthy relationship , you must be willing to forgive and let go completely an offence ,abuse or hurt received. it is not an act of cowardice to say I AM SORRY! neither is it a weakness to be remorseful for an irresponsible action undertaken. Learn to say i am sorry and forgive and you will be so amazed how this goes a long way to keep your relationship strong and firm.

A relationship built on solid foundation can never be pulled down. it may be shaken and tugged by the trials and challenges and these are the things that strengths a relationship even more.

Our brain can only consciously process a minute percentage of  the data and stimulus we encounter. Our brain power usage is only a tenth of its actual potential as we most undermine using it. For survival and sanity our brains are wired to deliver the data it deems important. Importance  is defined by  whatever we train or teach  our brain to focus on or act,believe upon. This is a logical explanation why negative people tend to have bad days and positive people tend to have good days. Haven’t you ever gotten really pissed off,angry and irritated  at a  chubby happy merry-go colleague(s),friend who never seems to have a bad day and you wonder how he or she could  possibly be so composed, confident and totally ignore every little bad circumstance?  I can assure you, you’re most absolutely right, He or She is ignoring the bad stuff – but not with a conscious state of mind but unconsciously without even knowing it. His or her brain simply filters it out because he or she’s not focused on it. So as far as he or she’s concerned the bad situation or circumstance never happened or occurred, or it wasn’t translated as “bad” with an emotional response.

The fear factor’s Effect on The Brain Power

Fear as often defined is false evidence appearing real fear is the single most powerful enemy of humankind, countless would have been great men and women have succumbed to her seductive and yet woeful power. Fear is the greatest seductress the world has ever known, it eats deep into you with a feeling like none before and it renders you worthless after sucking the living light of success, boldness and determination in you.Most of us face our fear when we attempt to succeed at something.The graveyard as we know it today is the richest abode of great men and women whose talents have been lost deep and  buried in the pages of time, who out of their own fear where not bold,confidence enough to believe and exercise in themselves their God given talents. Would you rather be timid and fearful or be bold and show the world what potentials you have got? What is the price or boldness compared to a  shameful act of cowardice? I leave you to be the judge of what actions you take, decisions you make and where you want to lead your life up to, but even as we do so, be for warned that “we often neglect and or sacrifice parts of ourselves to fulfil duty, make others happy and do our job”  Jaime Mintun.

We go through life not taking into consideration that just a little show of appreciation for that which others have done in our life can inspire them to do even more in  our life and feel valued. Thank You, these eight letter words is the most power words in all of English language or any language you can think of when translated.

Learning to say thank you or not to can make or break you in a lots of ways that you could ever imagine, homes have been broken, friends killed, wars started and even nations being wiped out all because of a sign of ingratitude and an inability to express and be humble enough to appreciate what others have done for us.

What Will 2011 Be for You?
This year 2011 is going to be a great year, I have decided to dedicate this year to be a thank you year for me, so what will 2011 be for you?  a year of appreciation or a year of ingratitude? If only you can fully understand the power that lay beneath the word that you will see how transformed your world would be. Show an act of gratitude today and commit this year, the beginning of a new decade a year of gratitude and thank you. The rewards far outweigh and consequences. It takes nothing away from you or make you less a better person to say these words thank you even to an humble servant.  Your age does not count and it matters not to whom you give thanks to as much as a favoured has been done unto you, it is well worth the effort to equally return that act of gratitude with every bit humility you can muster from your soul.  I thank God for the breath of life, many longed to see the light of a new day, a new year 2011 but today they are no more, but here are you and I alive and kicking and because we are more special, precious, better or important than those who could not make it alive today, We stand today by the virtue of grace and i give every appreciation and thanksgiving unto the almighty creator and father of the universe.

If you want to experience a life of bliss, show appreciation unto others for the act of kindness they have shown so that you too may recieve an act of kindness for the impact you have made unto the life of others -Louis Redemption

the law of attraction

Where will your thought lead you to? does it matter you ask? Am I to be positive or negative? what difference does it make? These and many more are questions that bugs our mind from person to person, generation to generations.Whether we like it or not our lives are the by products of our action thoughts. Only a positive minded person filled with every reason why there is hope in life will reap the benefit of that action thought. Your mind is a thought factory ready to produce in large quantity what you feed it with.

Aquila, Courage And The Bank

Am not good a storyteller but i can make you laugh. Once upon a time in the city of men housed a called thought bank called CogitaBank . each day Aquila would go to Cogitabank and deposit depression, anger and fear.Aquila had no self belief or faith the his life would be any good even though his situations and circumstances was far better than a close neighbour Courage.

Courage on the other hand, had lost his wife, and three precious children who were the apple of his eyes. even at courage predicament, He believed in his self and kept faith that were there is life there is hope. His only consolation was even in his circumstance there was someone his problem was better than and each day courage would go to CongitaBank and deposit faith, hope and confidence.

The Great Purge

Having traded with the deposits from Aquila and Courage for a number of months, the interest on their deposits waxed greatly and the bank had to send each customer Annual report how well their interest has amassed and grown beyond expectation that the bank was willing to give an big bonus. Do you know what Aquila deposits of depression, anger and fear yielded?  Beside Aquila growing woes were failure worries,,heart-Attack, and impending death.. Aquila died a subconscious death beyond resurrection because his thoughts where byproducts of his actions.

As for Courage he could not believe his luck(what i call opportunity weds preparedness) when his fortune had grown from just a mere investment of hope, faith, confiidence to include happiness,  success, achievement to mention a few.
What courage had to withdraw fronm his bank account was more than enough to forget his pastlife and extablish another life of bliss.

The Lesson

The heart of man a thought factory capable og harnessing and refining the resources we feed it with. John Assaraf in the secret reminds us of our job as human to hold on to the thoughts of what we want,make it absolutely clear in our minds what we want.you become what you think most but you also attract what you think most. everything that is coming into your life, you are attracting it to yourself by virtue of your thoughts.The simplest way to think of yourself and the situations around you is to see yourself as a powerful magnet.You are the most powerful magnet in in the universe and you attract everything your way.This powerful magnet is emitted through your thoughts, both positive and negative thoughts.

One problem, i have come to realise and often conclude is that most people are so much focused thinking about what they don’t want and what they hate and expect it to go away. Instead they receive the opposite because their thought factory is programmed their subconscious to only see the things they don’t want. and we ask why me? why am i in this  mess. when is the last time you spent a day thinking of the things you want so badly, when was the last time you daydreamed of the things you want so much that your thought factory has registered it into your very consciousness???

Paul Gavin is not the only entrepreneur to have achieved this feat.there quite a few notable ones out there, but the question is what made him so different from the rest?  I guess the answer is in the pudding. Learning from his mistakes, not giving up and beliving in himself that he could make with all backed up with full fledged course of action on his part.We all face life with so many challenges and obstacles, when we try a few new things and it does not work, we often chicken out too soon without giving our very self a chance at a second trial.We have been so powerfully created and programmed with super intelligence to adapt and learn from every given field of endeavour we  seek to take part in irrespective of whatever learning curve we possess at that period in time.The wonderful thing about being the person God has created you to be, is that he pre-programmed you to handle new situations, change, adapt and grow.do not build a case against yourself by listening to your old voices within, or speaking words that undermine your confidence and potentials.Doing something you have never done before usually involves an anxiety-induced learning curve with words flowing like “there is no way i can do this…, i am not made for this, i give up., i am in the wrong business… “.

Talk yourself out of negativity from this day henceforth, aren’t you tired of believing and saying i can’t do it?, i can’t make it? how has that been working out for you so far? The answer is you are getting exactly what you are saying and want. FAILURE!
Now is the time for change. If after reading this and you cannot or don’t change, then you are a lost cause!Successful people are those who believe that whatever situation and circumstances they find themselves they can make it and overcome all mountains that come their way. Successful people make a flat ground out of a mountain while failures make a mountain out of a mo-hill. Oh what a huge difference.Choose your path today and make an informed decision. I am done drilling you. am out for now!

He who desires for greatness must be willing to pay the prize of belief,determination and unprecedented willpower to accommodate change.”if you are  bored with your life,if you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things-you don’t have goals”.
The ability and power to do things and set goals is what makes you different from the human race pack,set goals and be prepared to surpass them and you will definitely reap the untold rewards and benefit that comes with it.

Great men of history like Lou Holtz knew the power of goal setting and tapped from the potential reserves.He set 107 lifetime goals to be achieved after reading the magic of thinking big by David schwartz.He has achieved 87 of the goals he set which includes but not limited to having dinner at the white house,appearing on tonight with Johnny Carson,meeting the pope,coaching at Notre Dame,leading his team to national championship,shooting a hole in one golf a feat he has achieved twice!

Take time to make a note of 100 goals you want to achieve in your lifetime. if you have not set any,this is the time to start. get a goal book and start pouring out your ambitions,dreams and goals of life. Don’t ever let anyone pull you done or tell you it cannot be done or that you are insane.Beware! there are  lots of dream killers out there starting from your household,place of work,circle of friends. Safeguard  your goals from them and only share with visionary people who  believe and think you can make a difference in your world.

Do not be deceived that just a single goal will catapult you to the ultimate plan of life that you see for yourself, it won’t happen because it is not good enough, I urge your to challenge yourself and set goals and believe that you will succeed and you will. I have journeyed through the part of life and basked in the glory fulfilled goals brings to you. I have drank the wine of satisfaction and fulfillment and i want more because its not enough. Let your insatiable quest for goal setting and fulfillment be unleashed today!
“If you want to be happy,set a goal that commands your thoughts,liberate your energy, and inspires your hopes.” these were the words of Andrew Carnegie. America’s richest man of the 19th century.
