Becoming The Best There is to Become

Is the person you are capable of taking you where you wish to go?

Our world is changing, yesterday is not today and tomorrow cannot be today. There is no time new things do not emerge and existing ones submerge. To be a better you, you must be constantly emerging.

Becoming a better you is a conscious effort which includes many different aspects that you may not really like, but if you are sure that you want to be a better version of you, you must do them still.

The communication system today cannot be compared with the communication system that existed ten years back. I am pretty sure the human generation back in time did not have any problem using a large phone. None of them knew the potentials that was hidden away in those telephones. But through constant work and investment we arrived at our present day mobile phones, small and portable. Who knew and who knows?

The human system is built with the capacity for upgrades. When you fail to consciously and constantly work on yourself you remain outdated, in other words submerged in the human index. The original version of which you were born with was never enough for you to survive in a harsh world like ours. To make sure you possess the version that will enable you to survive your parent upgraded you through the school system.

However, this was only to help you survive, not to die. Now it’s up to you to decide how you wish to survive, do you want to live and die a failure, mediocre or the opposites? This choice is yours to consciously make, and it determines how better you will be.

There are limitless potentials left untapped within you, and until you decide that you are no more comfortable with your level existence you can never discover them. There is a better you in you, waiting to be discovered.

So many people live and die a little different from how they were born, they never discover what they are capable of, such a wasted potential.

If you want to get to anywhere in life, you have to be better than you are already. You have to know a little of everything, you have to know how to blend into anywhere, you have to know how to use your mind, you have to master yourself and you need to be a person of principles.

Originally you were created without any software. The creator consciously left those empty spaces for you to fill the way you like. What you were born with is likable to a computer hard ware. Refusing to be better is like refusing to install the necessary software which will help you maximize the full potential of your computer. The computer manual may say that you will be able to input words through typing, the computer company may promise all this things but if you don’t install the Micro Word software you will never discover that potential.

Until you bring into your being the right components consciously and consistently you will never discover your full potential. In the computer aspect new software are being replaced by newer software for best experience. Same with the human system. What you know at this moment is not enough. But to keep learning is how to stay afloat. There are four ways in which you can constantly keep emerging.

How To Constantly Emerge and Remain Floating.

1.  Master yourself: you cannot set out to do a thing and do it till completion without self-discipline, and until you master yourself you can never tell it what to do. Its only masters that tells the subordinate what to do and it obeys. To become better you, you must possess first of all the spirit to shun habits and method which does not move you any further as much as it pushes you backward.

2.    Invest in yourself: you have to invest in yourself constantly. When last did you pay for a seminar, when last did you attend a workshop training? You are not reading books. See yourself as your only turning point. Favor yourself. Continuously put more money into you. That is how to invest in you. When you invest in yourself you become an asset. People value you.

3.    Use your mind: think. Stop living according to fate. Think out your path, choose the way you want to be and start working towards it. The mind is the most powerful asset that you possess, there is nothing the mind cannot achieve. You should never ignore the mind if you want to be better.

4.    Know yourself: most people are living a life that is not their own because they fail to discover their true self. They are fascinated by other people so they spend a lot of time studying and copying them. You have to spend time with yourself to know yourself. Give yourself a break from always going with the crowd and go alone. Stop taking permission for the things you want.

Make a plan to consistently keep yourself moving. Know clearly that what you know is never enough. Analyze yourself at every moment. What do you know? Is that all you are capable of knowing? How far can this take you in life? Becoming a better you is a conscious decision which a person must make for himself. 

The Outstanding

To stand out is a conscious decision a person must make for himself. You may go through the whole of life unnoticed not because life made it that way but because you choose it that way. So many people who are living their dreams today knew if they were going to get anywhere they can never let the crowd shield them from the light.

There is a light in you, it was there since the day you were born. This same light is in every person in the world. Some have refuse to harness the energy from this light and radiate, and very few are using it. What is the usefulness of a lamp if it is not shinning for all to see, can it then be called a lamp? I would prefer to call it a furniture. You are a lamp.

Refusing to shine means not fulfilling the purpose which you were sent to the world fulfill. The talents you have are not by chance, there are there for a reason. You are the light of the world, the world is waiting for your light to see. Deciding not to standout is morally wrong.

People who are outstanding in the world today were not born special as you may choose to think, there are people like you. The only difference between those people and you is in positions, they have chosen the front rows  as their preferred seat throughout the ride and you for certain reasons say safety, have chosen the back seats.

What you need in life is not to be like anyone. What you need is the decision to make the front seat your permanent seat. Enjoy the fear of seeing the path before the back sitters do. Stop trying to copy someone else, the secret in shining out lies in following your internal callings no matter how critical you may see the road as.

Decide that you won’t hold yourself back no matter what. Keep going. You are scared but you are still going, you are tired but you still going, people say it’s not meant for you, you still going. That is how to standout.

It is safer to watch from the crowd, than to be watched by the crowd. But it is better to be watched than to watch. So which one is it going to be for you, stay safe and unfulfilled or risk it and be fulfilled?

Step out of the crowd let the world see you. You are too good to be where nobody sees you. The world is facing different crisis today because the right people have decided to hide away and so we are ruled and controlled by people who should be controlled.

The world will shield you from the light if you keep believing you cannot make it without some people. Refuse to depend on anybody but yourself. Everybody have got their light, if you want to shine brighter then you’ve got to reduce the number of people you depend on, that way you will shine more brightly.

That you have tried and that you have stepped out but have not received any recognition. You’ve got to understand that those people who are outstanding today have internalized the behavior of always staying at the front lines that they don’t need to do it once but persistently, you cannot start behaving in an outstanding manner for just a few days now and suddenly you are at the top, you have to persist in that pattern of behavior long enough to standout.

Secondly, every organization have their ways of doing things. If you wish to be at the top rows then you’ve got to understand the culture of that organization and tune in fully. If you want to be at the top row of your church then you know you would have to abandon many life styles that do not align with the Christian doctrine, you will have to change. Change the people around you and change the way you think.

If you want something out of life then you’ve got to step up. Be upgraded in your knowledge, be upgraded in your position, refused to be hidden away and let your light shine for all to see. Standing out and shinning is the path way to fulfilling your destiny, it is scary but that is where you want to be, it is your starting point to a fulfilled life. Be outstanding.

How Much Time Is Left?

                                                               

 How much time do you have left?  

A study conducted by Bronnie Ware showed that the number one regrets     that people have, people who knows      they have exhausted their limited          time on earth is “…they were never       brave enough to pursue their dreams,but settled for what others expected of them. When they look back at their lives, they tend to recall their unreached goals and aspirations”. In other words I wish I have had the courage to follow my heart, I wish I had done the right things while I still had the time. Unfortunately for this folk there is no extra time.

When you go about doing things that has no value you’ve got to understand one thing, your time is limited. The majority of the people in the world will die before they could see their eightieth birthday. When you go about quitting, telling yourself, am not ready yet pushing your dreams miles away have you stop to ask yourself, how much time do you have left?

It is hard to become the person you want to become, it’s discouraging, it is frustrating but if you want to be phenomenal, if you want to be proud of the end result when your time is up, then you’ve got to walk towards your dream no matter how disappointing it might have been.

It is important that you focus on one thing. When you go about chasing different and many things and end up catching none, it’s your time you are using, no one else. People will tell you, you have a lot of time left but am saying to you, you have a very short time left. Live everyday as if it were your last, you might be right someday. Stop postponing, focus.

The reason why you are not battling at your dreams now is you feel there is a lot of time left. How much time do you believe is left for you? It is true that we all will die, death is inescapable for everyone but it is not true that we will be remembered in the same way. While some will live on to become example for others, some will be forgotten. When you go after your dreams no matter how many times you fail at it you will leave behind a number of don’t-try ways and you will be remembered.

Living a fulfilled life basically revolves around doing what you know within your heart that you want to do. Doing what the world thinks is better for you is not going to give you the fulfilled feeling that you crave. You want it to be that at the end of your time you will have nothing to regret.

When you go about doing what others think is great work you will not have the time enough to do those things that you believe is great work and at the end of your life you would have succeeded in living other people’s dream with your own life. We are given our own share of time for our allocated purposes. You can choose to use your time wisely by living your own dreams or you may choose to use it in fulfilling other people’s desire the choice however is yours. Life is an experiment the lesson is learnt at the end of it. You’ve got to be relentless about those things you love.                                                                                                      

                                                                                                                     

                                                                                                                                   

                                                                                                                       

                                                                                                                               

On Fulfilling Your Dreams

In the pursuit of my dreams I have met different discouragements, both from myself and from others. I have given up in  different times just to start again because someone actually told me that I was not good enough.

Life can be a mess when you have down times like mine. You might spend most part of your life visiting and trying out different areas of life without actually belonging to any. Stop and analyzed yourself, after many years what have you achieved by always quitting and trying. The truth is you have only help other people live their dreams. It’s time to start living your own dreams.

You need to stop listening to what people think about you. If you want something, don’t go about seeking for approval, go for it. You don’t need permissions anymore to become what you want to become. Permissions was okay when you were yet an adult, but now you need to take responsibility of your life. People will only talk you out of your original ideas.

Silencing external critics which could’ve been your friends and family is the first but there is a second, silencing internal critics. It says to you did you hear what they said, you know you cannot do this. Yes that’s our internal person talking, it’s been talking since you were born making you back out of what you truly wanted. If you listen to it this time again, you might have to overcome this another time, so you can pack up and quit and come back another time or you can face it now and for all, you can say to yourself I know am capable if am willing. Be willing.

Make a plan to quiet your critics the more. When you know where you want to go, you need a map to guide you. Map brings more confident and tells you look it is as simple as this. How do you want to be there. Tell yourself through writings.

Now that you have conquered all criticism you want to move on. Stop planning and start practicing. Most people spend most time of their life planning that they fail to practice what they’ve been planning. Stop for a while and take the first step. If you ever have to succeed you need to start that which you want right now.

Who said you don’t have the resources. What of that which you have right now, use it. You need to start from where you are. It might be slow but you need a lot of patience and constant work. Put in a little more time and effort and hang in there a little while and you will be surprise to know how far you’ve come.

There are many ways to get to the top. Don’t be trap by other people’s principles. If that is not comfortable with you, create your own principles and live by it. Many people back out because they can’t cope with other people’s principle. Wait, who said that’s the accepted method of getting what you want, create your own methods and lived by it. When you create your own principles and live according to it, dreams come true.
