Build Your Advantages, Kill Your Fears

Irrespective of how cynical you may want to be, one thing you can’t take away from my strides on this turf is the steady progression in the right direction, especially with the rebranding and proper focusing of this Blog. While it is daunting for a lot of people to consider venturing out; I have thought, planned, gathered resources and I’m right now in the rings, taking relevant actions in precision and also very willing to take responsibility for whatever result I produce.

I’m just been factual and I know that it’s only a matter of time before the marketplace begins to acknowledge and celebrate my contributions. Not only have I studied the terrain (of work, business and everyday life); I’ve nonetheless grasped its intricacies and I’m right about now consolidating on my advantages in this regard. Of course these are some of the key actions expected from a diligent soul who’s interested in making the journey from obscurity to relevance in today’s sophisticated and highly-challenging marketplace.

“Find what the market is missing in your field

and make it available at the best possible price.

Do this consistently and you will sure transcend

from a little Cat in the neighbourhood into a

mature Tiger in the jungle, in a record time.”

The good news, however, is that you can indeed live the life of your dream... But such will only happen if you are willing to commit your time, energy and resources to a worthy course; particularly at the expense of personal comfort. Do not allow your disadvantages to becloud your senses and imaginative capacity. Every man, woman, boy or girl out there has some shortcomings to deal with, either physically or spiritually. Of a truth, those who are making significant progress in their respective fields have mastered the art of keeping their weaknesses at bay and they are steadily projecting their strong points. Stop focusing on your shortcomings; otherwise you may lose the flavour that should naturally usher you into your next level of relevance.

All spheres of life are governed by specific principles and such laws have been put in place by divinity to produce consistent results for anyone who aligns himself or herself to its tenets, irrespective of race, tribe, gender, etc. The least you can do for your destiny is to leverage on the universal principles governing your field of endeavour. Don’t be cajoled by the “exceptional performances” or “great business acumen” of those ahead of you, to think that they are perfect. Far from it! They too have one or two challenges to deal with, but have mastered the art of checkmating same. Do the same for your life’s pursuits; your results will be predictably exceptional.

The sad history of the family that brought you into this world should never be allowed to form an invisible ceiling on how far you can advance in destiny. On the contrary, you must learn to see your pains as the necessary training that’ll birth your glory; as this is meant to strengthen you to work diligently for the realisation of your dreams and aspirations through divine assistance.

“Position your equilibrium now:

the level of commitment you exhibit in

another man’s business and the amount

of resources you also channel towards your

exit plan from a salary job will ultimately

determine the degree of success

you will record in your own venture.”

Inside your many abilities lies your real deal; so you’ve got to imbibe a very high level of discipline that would enable you locate your place in destiny by initiating a separation session with your maker with a view to sort out all identified grey areas of your journey. Do not live on your individual strength, societal trends or by just following the easy path. Also, your acquired degrees and skills should not necessarily dictate the pace either. Today, there are too many cases of Master and Doctorate degrees holders working for conglomerates that are founded by university drop-outs. And this is happening because some persons are erroneously depending solely on their intellect for survival, rather than the instructions of their maker – the Infinite Intelligence.

In case you do not know, statistics have shown that majority of today’s comfortable men and women are people making their income from disciplines that have no relationship whatsoever with their degrees. The world is changing fast my friend, and so should you too! Education should not define your limits; it should be a support – a leverage sort of. There’s something inside you that can take you beyond the limits of your degree(s). Search it out and nurture it in preparation for your critical platform. What is coming will come; it is your level of preparedness that will either make the difference or mar your chances.

You can’t really know what destiny has in stock for you until you muster enough stamina to venture out into the field, with the sight of an eagle and doggedness of a born champion (which you are). I have no doubt in me that you possess that ONE THING which divinity has destined to position you for relevance in your field of endeavour. It’s there, waiting to be exploited! There is also the possibility that you are already using it, but you may need to increase your knowledge bank through engaging in targeted personal development exercises.

“Do not allow the fear of failure to

cripple your God-given potentials.

Put yourself in the mould of the

proverbial Cat with nine lives,

believing that if you fail in one area

you will succeed in another.”

On this note, I urge you to take out time to locate and access the latest information in your industry with a view to keep yourself abreast with the facts. Do not rely on the much you already know; yesterday’s knowledge seldom tackle today’s challenges effectively. In this age, virtually all industries and sub-sectors are changing rapidly; faster than an average person can manage. So you must strive to upgrade and keep upgrading your performances, your products and/or your services in compliance with modern best practices by getting relevant information through courses, seminars, reading and listening to relevant materials that will help to redefine your thoughts and actions in conformity with your life’s purpose.
