#5StepsOnWinningTheFuture - (1.1) DISCOVER YOU

"Cogito Ergo sum": I think therefore I am” - Rene Descartes

Success or failure begins with the “individual”. Nothing will ever happen without your involvement. (Copy and tweet).  I have constantly emphasised on the fact that a person who desire to win should take all the time available to them and do this –study into understanding who they are. All that mass education did was to teach us what others said and did. However, the education we receive from life teaches us to understand who we are and the power freely given to us by God. (Copy and tweet).

We are groomed to be nice, do a lot and go the extra mile for others. We have been conditioned by society to relate to others better than ourselves. Thus many of us walk around with a mindset of guilt if they can’t answer to the demand of the next person. (Copy and tweet). Try making sure you matter first and you are termed selfish. The bible said love your neighbour as yourself – meaning give to your neighbour the same love you have for yourself.  You Matter first in all things! For me, a person’s true value and sense of worth can only be discovered when painstakingly they take time to discover themselves. (Copy and tweet). I believe that it’s only through a person’s self-discovery that they can conquer the challenges of life.

True self- discovery can be equated to self- awareness! (Copy and tweet). It’s only in undertaking the journey of self- discovery that the revelation needed for your success can be found. Human nature is such that we all love winning and hate losing yet only a few are prepared to pursue this simplest strategy of self-discovery in order to win the future. (Copy and tweet). 

The journey to winning the future starts with you I repeat! Patience is the key as you embark on this journey.  Eventually the one who dares wait and exercises patience gets the results. (Copy and tweet). Patience after all is a virtue! Providence often rejects us when we fail to maximise all the gifts and opportunities we've been blessed with but rather question its intentions by our fears and weaknesses. (Copy and tweet). Until you "DISCOVER YOU", your winnings will always be enjoyed by someone. The future is nebulous yet the preparation that starts with you is what will propel you into winning the future. (Copy and tweet).

Success or failure begins with the “individual”. Nothing will ever happen without your involvement. (Click here and tweet this). We have been conditioned by society to relate to others better than we have been thought to do for ourselves. We find it easy being nice or going the extra mile for others. How many truly do so much for themselves? For me, the true value of a person is discovered when they take time to understand themselves. It’s through this that they can muster courage to face the challenges and hardships of tomorrow. We all hate losing but yet at the same time love winning- it starts with you.

The journey to being your best begins with “you". Patience is the hall mark as you embark on this journey. The sport of Angling to me seems daunting. Most of the time the angler has to wait for several hours before the fish bites the bait. Deep within the Angler is the desire to catch fish no matter how long it takes or how smart the animal might prove to be. Eventually, the one who dares wait gets the results. Providence often rejects us when we fail to maximise all the gifts and opportunities we have been blessed with. (Click here and tweet this)

Finding ones’ own path in life and being guided by divine principles produces inner peace. (Click here and tweet this) What worked for someone wouldn’t necessarily work for you. There is so much respect in being a pioneer! When faced with doubt and uncertainty about “you”, never forget the work of artistry that went into creating “you”. To define you carries with it so much potency that if the average individual will spend time and pay the price, he will be astonished. Many spend their lives worshipping others for their ingenuity yet fail to make scratch or make use of their opportunities.

There seem to be a deep desire to win when raised in scarcity. Personally being raised with not so enough instilled in me the desire to define me and subsequently move ahead to win. I believe this is what has informed my desire to see my friends, congregation, and anyone I come across in this life win. It’s even more heart wrenching when you knew you could have won but never yielded when the opportunity arose. (Click here and tweet). My mother made sure I understood that anytime something holds you bound, you will never experience the fullness of what you could have become.

I am great not because a person conferred it on me, but because I am learning to understand who I am. (Click here and tweet this). You are truly great when you understand yourself! The chaos we have in our world is due to people doing the wrong things in the wrong places at the wrong time with the wrong attitudes.

QUESTION: Who are you? How do you define you?
