You Need A New Mindset To Experience A New Life

“No one pours a new wine into an old wine skin (bottle),” Mark 2:22

   As Albert Einstein reportedly said, “it is foolhardy to do something the same way and expects a different outcome” (paraphrased). The same philosophy is applicable to everyone today: to experience a new life or a new success, it is imperative that people must adopt a new way of thinking, living and reasoning.

  This begins with the stark realization that you are solely responsible for some of the things that happened to you. It is reasonable to state that there are other circumstances that may be beyond your power, which people normally refer to as the “act of fate or destiny”, and from which God has the supernatural power to rescue you, but there are some problems in your life that a little transformation in your attitude, belief and mindset may help resolve. Take for instance, a person who lacks personal accountability in the areas of finances, time management and interpersonal communication may learn how to change his or her bad habit and re-position himself or herself for greater successes.

 The funniest thing is that most people cannot actually identify those success-inhibiting mindsets that they possess. This is because if you can identify that line of thought, belief or philosophy that stands between you and your success, you will, for sure, do everything within your power to remove those obstacles.

 So, here are some of the mindsets that can hinder your desire to achieve enviable success in life:

·         Negativism: Entertaining negative thoughts, ideas, messages et cetera can turn you into a die-hard pessimist—someone who can never see any positive thing or opportunity in everything!

·         Low self-esteem: There is little you can get done if you don’t actually believe in yourself, your ability or capability, and your skills. No one can help you believe in YOU if you are not willing to do so. It is a personal duty that everyone grapples with on a daily basis.

·         Unteachable: People who are not teachable never learn anything new: they often let their ego, personal achievement and level of education stand in the way of learning how to overcome the problems in their lives.

·         Comfort-zone dwellers: Those who dwell happily in their comfort zones never aspire to learn how they can expand their horizons. They are already settled and mostly unwilling to welcome any new thing that is capable of tipping them off their current comfortability scales. Such people never believe anyone can live happily and healthily in stupendous success. They are satisfied with their current meager livelihoods!

The Power of Love

Love holds the key to many locked doors

“Love” is a word that often brings up different feelings in different people. It is a highly debated and publicly proclaimed word. Love is expected to create an atmosphere of peace, happiness and mutual respect among people. Love should be a balm that eases pain and heals the broken-hearted.

To accomplish anything successfully in this life, love is required. Whether the love of oneself or the others or both. The power of love is real, impactful and success oriented.

It is true to state that everything begins with the love of oneself. When you love yourself, you won’t hold anything back in seeing that you become successful in every area of your life, whether in business, dating, marriage, career, education and, of course, in health. You must love yourself strong enough to fearlessly pursue the dream (s) or goals that you are passionate about. Self-loving will propel you to seek help or mentorship in other areas that you are lacking.  It will push you to take greater risks for the purpose of making extraordinary successes. A warning: loving oneself is never equated to selfishness, so be careful!

Loving the others is as beneficial as loving oneself. When you genuinely care about the wellbeing of the others, you are indirectly creating a peaceful milieu around yourself. In this scenario, there will be no room for unforgiving tendencies, hatred, malice, envy and other malicious propensities. What goes around comes around!

Moving Ahead from Where You Are Now

Don’t get stuck. Keep moving 

   Your current status in life, personally and professionally may not necessarily indicate how your future will turn out if you choose to be dynamic and goal-oriented right from this moment. The only problem lies in your decision to remain in your comfort zone, settling for something smaller than you are capable of achieving.  Forward-looking people excel in every facet of their life, be it in business, academic pursuit, marriage, career, relationships and health wise. With all the power in them, they turn disappointments and failures into springboards for greater achievements; they utilize their skills and knowledge to create a better life they so desired.

  As the saying goes, falling down is a given, standing up thereafter is a choice. You’ve got to make the choice to forget whatever had happened to you in the past and forge ahead towards a glorious end. You cannot assume a better lifestyle while saddling yourself with the old baggage of failures, sadness and disappointments in your past life.    

To make this new journey, you will need not only a new mindset but also associate with positively minded people. Each day has its own amount of distractions, and in order to run smoothly toward your goal, you have got to decide that you are in the company of good people who can lift you up whenever you need some encouragement.    

 Once again, the decision to move ahead in life is basically yours. Your personal coach, educator or trainer cannot make this decision for you: they are basically like a map pointing you toward the right direction in life, but the actual journey has to be undertaken by you.   In short, God has given you the power to choose between success and failures; whatever you go for will surely become your reality! 

Time Management (7): 3 Disturbing Facts about Time Management

Time management is an ageless process. Several theories and procedures have been put forward, tried and refined in the past centuries as people aspire to have some control on the use of their limited time. However, time management has not always been an easy thing to do for everyone: while some people are good at it, others don’t just get it!

   But these 3 disturbing facts about time remain undeniable:

(a)   Lost time can never be redeemed:-It is always advisable to plan, strategize and utilize time wisely.

(b)   Engaging in time-wasting activities is always counter-productive:-Spend your time doing what will contribute meaningfully to your career, marriage, happiness, success, education etc.

(c)    Time-keeping gadgets can’t actually help you achieve your time management goals:- This is very true on most occasions. Alarms, clocks, prompters, and other electronic gadgets cannot help you control your time if you lack personal discipline and the willingness to be the master of your own time.

Organizational Performance (7): 5 Attitudes For Enjoying Absolute Job Satisfaction

     Absolute job satisfaction is an issue that has been heatedly debated at every organization that pays serious attention to employee performance. Invariably, it has been discovered that the happier the employees, the better the quality of their performances. And individual employee or worker needs to play a major role in making themselves happy at work.

     Here are 5 attitudes that can guarantee you absolute job satisfaction:

Infuse passion into your work: The best advice is that people should look for jobs they are mostly interested in. But in the absence of this, they can still bring passion into whatever they are doing and personally increase their morale.

Cling onto the positives: Discover some positive aspects of your job and judiciously cling to them. These may include your nice benefits, good rapport with some colleagues, better working environment and the possibility of career development.

Identify the source of unhappiness at work: Find out what is responsible for your unhappiness at work: a bad-mannered colleague or boss? Poor working conditions? Poor communication network? 

Confront these problems: After identifying the sources of irritation at work, you can then proceed to address them with the appropriate authorities in charge of managing grievances from the employees.

Constantly motivate yourself: At the end, it is You that applied for that job, accepted the job and reported to work; so, you have got to motivate yourself on a regular basis. Doing this, you will be able to stay happy and productive; you’ll surprisingly discover that your job satisfaction has gradually improved.

Personal Transformation (7): Stop Doubting Yourself!

    Self-doubt is a destructive attitude; it doesn’t only render a dream unachievable, it also renders the affected person incapacitated. When unchecked, self-doubt makes it even difficult for people to dream—they are always cautious of taking risks or getting out of their comfort zones. The downside of this habit is that it hinders self-transformation in every facet of human experiences. Anyone who fails to break free of his or her self-limiting thoughts will forever remain stuck in the same state for years to come.

       Do you want to stop doubting yourself? Consider taking the following steps:

Actions are inevitable:-Nothing will happen unless you actually do something to make it happen. Decisive actions are required to achieve anything in this life.

Fill your mind with positives:-When you occupy your mind with positive thoughts, you will be able to drive out those negative thoughts that have rendered you powerless for a long time. In fact, self-doubt is a typical negative mindset.

Carefully choose your companions: Remember to have as friends or companions people who believe in you and are willing to lift you up when you need some encouragement on your life journey.

                                

Success (6): Maximizing Those Little Opportunities

The adage that “little drops of water make a mighty ocean” is forever relevant in human life. This is because we are sometimes guilty of passing off “little” opportunities as insignificant and unneeded. Our attention is rooted mainly on the “big” successes, miraculous wealth, and unexpected, huge achievements. This mindset might be wrong to a certain extent. Not everyone can suddenly achieve huge success or wealth beyond their wildest imaginations. However, we are all fortunate to be presented with what we could refer to as little opportunities on a daily or regular basis. Hence, it is everyone’s duty to convert these little opportunities into a gigantic one.

    Here are examples of how to use what we have to obtain what we want:

Business opportunities—Are you running a business you think is small and slightly profitable? Remember that businesses are conduits or media for providing goods and services for people. If you improve upon the quality of services or goods you offer, you are likely going to increase your customers’ base and eventually increase your profitability.

Job benefits—On the other hand, if you are working for someone, you should utilize the benefits your job proffers. Apart from saving yourself to prosperity, you can also acquire skill and knowledge you can use to set up your own business in the future.

Communication & connections—To succeed in anything, whether in business or at workplace, you definitely need to maintain a robust communication strategy that will ensure that you are connected to the right people that will give you a leg-up in life.

Time Management (6): How Valuable Is Your Time?

Regarding your time as a valuable entity is the very first step to becoming successful in whatever you do. Time is so precious, so fickle and practically limited. Everyone is given twenty-four hours a day! It is up to you to maximize the one you have been given to change your circumstances and aspire for better things in life. Time management, an ageless concept, and ever dynamic idea, requires that you learn, practice and implement procedures that can help you control or manage your time in order to achieve higher return-on-investment in every facet of your life. You probably have heard people saying “time is money”; a single hour, for some people, may worth over a $1000. And no one in his or her right mind will like to squander such a fortune by engaging in frivolous activities.

     Below are some tips on how you can manage your time:

Avoid time-wasting activities that add no intrinsic value to your life

Maximize your time by engaging in essential and life-enriching events

Use devices (alarms, schedulers etc) to keep a tab on your time

Identify things or people that seem to take a bite at your precious time and avoid them

Learn how to simply say no to things that are not edifying in your life

Plan ahead and concentrate on your responsibilities accordingly

Organizational Performance (6): Self-motivation & Organizational Culture

Are you one of those who gets up every Monday morning with sadness because you seriously dread your job? Research show that most people who have heart attacks do so just before 8 a.m. because they will be heading to jobs they hated so much. Why is it like this? It is evident that something is inherently lacking here, and that is self-motivation!

   Every company has its distinct organizational culture designed to make its employees enjoy the work they do. It is helpful for people to explore the benefits proffered in their companies’ organizational cultures.

    Here are some essential issues you must understand if you want to have a wonderful working experience at your workplace:

Do you utilize the communication channels in place at your company to communicate your concerns and complaints to the appropriate authorities?

Are you excited about the benefits offered by your company? Does that constantly make you happy?

Do you usually use the environment for good relationship in your organizational culture to have mutually engaging conversation with your colleagues?

Do you constantly remind yourself of the purpose for working? That you have responsibilities that are there to be met? And that you are better off working?

Do you see yourself growing professionally doing that job? And don’t you derive some satisfaction from such a feeling?

  Most of the time, what people see are the bad happenings at their workplaces. They mistakenly shut their eyes to the benefits of having a wonderful working experience as enshrined in their company’s organizational cultures.

   From now on, work smartly. Work happily!  

Happiness (6): You Want To Be Happy Forever?

    It is a fact that everyone wants to be happy all the time. Some have taken significant steps in pursuing happiness. People have been taught how to achieve and maintain their state of happiness. But most people have seen their happiness disappeared after a brief period of time. This experience could be sad and energy-sapping.

   So, if you want to experience a state of happiness forever, it is very important that you must avoid attitudes that may kill your happiness on a daily basis. Here are the right attitudes to life in order to stay happy:

  Do not keep pessimistic or negative people around you for so long

 Be satisfied with what you have at the moment as you work hard with all determination to improve yourself and move up the ladder of success

See every problem as a step to gain more experience in life and not something to be seriously worried or depressed about

Smile always, show love to people around you and share your joy with them

Identify things or activities that make you laugh often and do more of them regularly

Be yourself but seek advice when necessary

Personal Transformation (6): Stretching Your Boundaries

    It is true on most occasions that the limitations around us, limiting our personal and professional achievements, are mainly the ones we set ourselves or allowed to exist. If you want to accomplish more than you currently have, it is imperative that you should step out of your comfort zones and stretch those restrictive boundaries surrounding you.

       Fear is the main hindrance to stretching one’s horizons!

   Research and some thought-provoking interviews have shown that successful people also have fears in the hearts, but they chose to confront and deal decisively with them so as to emerge victorious.

         Do not settle for less when you possess the capability to achieve more. Identify the kind of fear holding back. Deal with it as if your entire life depends on it. Go ahead and do things your “fearful mind” has constantly told you are impossible. Believe in your strength and ability. And seek help from those who will be able to strengthen your weak mind and safely guide you through the process of achieving more in life.

Organizational Performance (5): 3 Ways to Work More Efficiently

      Consider these 3 ways of working more productively:

(ii)               Timeliness:- Be time-conscious; every project you are assigned has a time limit. But if you often fail to meet deadlines, you are probably going to invoke the anger of your superiors or colleagues.

(iii)             Innovation:- The concept of innovation is not about using only new technologies and tools to do your job, but it also involves reinventing your working procedures. In other words, if you are the type who shoddily undertakes his or her assigned duties, you will probably need to adopt some effective working strategies that will add more quality to your work.

Personal Transformation (5): Creating the Better YOU!

You can confidently create the better YOU. Whatever personality that is! Have you always been concerned about some chinks in your armor, some bad habits that have held you back for so long? Is your current status in life unsatisfactory? Do you think you deserve better lifestyle than this? Have you ever worried about how you can transform yourself in order to reposition yourself for future blessings and opportunities, some of which have eluded you in the past because of your habits?

Here are some of the important steps you can take in changing yourself into a better personality:

(1)   Identify the major weaknesses in your life:-they may be slackness or laziness, fear, doubt, self-pity, poor human relationship, bad mannerism etc

(2)   Map out a strategy to combat them:- work hard, confront your fears, believe in yourself, connect with positively minded people

(3)   Persistently do the right things:- it is amazing how one can change his habit by persistently doing the right things. Great habit-forming tendency comes from repeatedly doing those great activities that are meant to enrich our souls, actions and personality

(4)   Be prayerful:- Commit yourself to God in constant prayers, and He will speedily help you accomplish that which you’ve longingly desired

Happiness (5): Enhance Your Happiness with These Three Lifestyles

   You can maintain a constant happy life by considering and emulating the attributes of the three lifestyles outlined below:

(a)    Being grateful:- When you express your gratitude to God and to other people who have done something great for you in the past, you are likely going to enjoy natural and sustainable happiness. Showing gratitude every time has the power of creating a comfortable environment for interaction, understanding and cooperation. You can establish a peaceful atmosphere around you by being grateful to people.

(b)   Worriless Lifestyle:- Once you learnt to ditch all your worries and embraced everything that comes your way with a strong resolve to solving all your problems, happiness will flow in your life like a river. A worrisome person is a restless and always nervous person: you need to remain calm, purposeful and pragmatic in order to put everything that happens to you under your emotional control.

(c)    Being Contented:- Try to be content with what you have and do everything in your power to enjoy your life on a daily basis. This does not mean that you should settle for what is less and lose optimism in pursuing and achieving what you are capable of getting. But try your best to enjoy life as it is and aspire for greater achievement all along.

Time Management (5): Will Time Always Change Things?

   People often say that “time changes things”. In reality, time doesn’t necessarily change anything unless we do. From experience, you can relate to this assertion in one way or the other: whatever you have achieved came from your singular, dedicated action, not from waiting endlessly for months or years to pass. It may be true, to some extent, that certain things in our lives may require the passage of time to mature, but the act of “doing” the things we want done is truly non-negotiable.

Here are some useful primers for anyone dreaming of enjoying greater achievements:

·         Outline your desired goal(s)

·         Map out the strategies to bring it (them) into existence

·         Identify the hindrances (fear, inactivity, negativity etc)

·         Work hard on removing these hindrances

·         Persevere

·         Seek advice or education on how to improve on getting what you wanted

Success (4): Albert Einstein’s Formulas for Success

Do you want to be successful in life? Here are some of Albert Einstein’s formulas for achieving outstanding string of successes:

(i)                 Use your imagination: In his own words, Albert Einstein states that “the true sign of intelligence is not knowledge but imagination.” When you let your imagination runs wild, you are likely going to discover the better way of living your life.

(ii)               Educate yourself: To succeed at anything, you must brace yourself for a new set of learning. You cannot approach a new problem with the same old solution(s). So, Einstein says “You have to learn the rules of the game. And then you have to play better than anyone else.”

(iii)             Listen to your heart: Explore the strength within you by listening to the still, small voice of God because it is advisable that you “never do anything against your conscience even if the state demands it.”

(iv)             Withstand criticism: You need to learn how to stand or take criticism without allowing it to break your spirit, because Einstein noticed that “Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds.”

 Transform yourself with these powerful thoughts!

Happiness (4): Why Some People Are Not Happy

 Several theories about happiness have been proffered from time to time to explain why some people, no matter what, will always find it difficult to be happy. One of these theories attests that human happiness, on a daily basis, results from the actions we take and the things we regularly expose our minds to, consciously or unconsciously.

    Please consider these four (4) happiness-destroying mindsets:-

(a)   Overt negativism:- People who are absolutely negative, who find no good thing in life, people or things around them, will always spend their entire existence on earth in perpetual sadness/unhappiness

(b)     Succumbing to Peer Pressure:- If you are the type of person who constantly succumbs to unnecessary or avoidable peer pressure simply because you want to satisfy your friends or companions, happiness will be an elusive experience for you

(c)    Absorbing bad advice:- Listening and acting on bad pieces of advice may rob you of continual happiness. Take for instance, when people encourage you to act against the laws and rules of the society you live in, you are surely going to lose your opportunity to live an enviable happy life

(d)   Lack of self-control:-A person who lacks the power to control what he or she hears, listens to, does or accepts may find himself or herself at the lowest rung of happiness, always at the beck and call of people who will use him or her against his/her own wish

Organizational Performance (4): Understanding the Processes of Having A Good Day At Work!

    It is an undeniable fact that anyone who wants to have a great working experience must first of all examine himself or herself to discover some aspects of his or her lifestyle that have been making it difficult to derive maximum enjoyment from his or her job. You can never enjoy the job you are doing if you possess some counter-productive attitudes.

Here are examples of bad attitudes employers hate:

(i)                 Apparent loss of interest in the job:-Eh, if you demonstrate acute lack of interest in your job, it will be obvious to people around you, including your colleagues and bosses or superiors.  And you know what? They will by and large categorize you as an indolent, unprofessional worker!

(ii)               Rigid and  not teachable:-People become experts as they spend years on the same jobs or projects, learning  and re-learning until they reach near perfection and master all intricacies of their jobs. You probably won’t get peace of mind at work if you argue a lot with your superiors and refuse to humble yourself to learn how to carry out your assigned functions in a more organized and acceptable way.

(iii)             Not sticking to the rules:- No employer likes a willful and uncooperative worker.  The main purpose of establishing laws or rules and regulations at workplaces is to guarantee decorum and encourage peaceful co-existence among employees.

     So, spend some time scrutinizing your work habit—are you really making your workplace comfortable for yourself?

Personal Transformation (4): The Dangers of Toxic Relationships

Toxic relationships are usually unproductive! They sap useful energy out of you and normally leave you weakened, confused and inactive! Such relationships, on most occasions, are inappropriate for anyone who desires to enjoy continuous experience of happiness and wellbeing. For you to attain a higher status of achievement and personal transformation, you need to get out of the following toxic relationships, as fast as you can!

         Incidentally, toxic relationships include but are not limited to:

(i)                 Any relationship with absolutely negative and pessimistic people

(ii)               Any relationship that demands more from you but gives little or nothing in return

(iii)             Any relationship full of acrimony, backbiting, slanders, teasing, bullying and heckling

(iv)             Any relationship that has led or may lead to physical or legal battles

(v)               Any relationship that undermines your worth and belittle you and your achievements

(vi)             Any relationship rife with cutthroat competition and do-or-die rivalry

  

It is your duty to identify other forms of toxic relationships in your life and do everything in your power to STEP OUT OF THEM right now!

Time Management (4): Does Time Management Matter?

           Time is one of those tricky, almost uncontrollable entities in the whole universe. It is so important and scarce at the same time that everyone hopes they can get a hold of it, as long as possible. Whatever profession or trade you are in, including schooling, time is the most sought-after substance that for centuries has been quite elusive for everybody.

             So, how can someone manage such a fickle and intangible substance as time?

             Several time-managing techniques have been applied over the centuries for people to actually have a firm grip on time. So, brace yourself for the new DYNAMICS for keeping a tab on your precious time!

     A great time manager possesses and/or exhibits enviable DYNAMICS, as shown below:

                 D: Doing the Right Thing At the Right Time

                Y: Yearning for Competence

               N: Not Procrastinating

              A: Accepting Only Appropriate Responsibilities

              M: Making and Sticking to Schedules

              I: Initiating Actions Accordingly

             C: Canceling All Time-wasting Activities

              S: Simply Saying “Yes” or “No”

Success (3): Some Misconceptions About Success

Success is measured by different standards: in other words, people consider success in diverse perspectives. But there are still some underlying misconceptions about success which include but are not limited to the following assumptions:

(i)                 Some people believe that success is all about making money and creating wealth (this may not be so)

(ii)               Others think riding in an expensive car or living in a posh mansion indicates that someone is successful (this is not true)

(iii)             People think that holding a lofty political, social or business executive position reveals that one is successful (the fact is that some people did hold such positions in the past but are regarded as stupendous failures in life today)

(iv)             Others think that success is only measured by your level of academic education (this is not true; some people do not have education but they are still successful)

                                     So, what is success?

Success is finding what excites you, develop yourself doing it and enjoying life to the fullest. Of course, you can amass wealth in the course of doing this, and you can also live in a posh estate or ride the best car in town.

Time Management (3): Dealing With Procrastination

Some people have labeled “procrastination” as the “thief of time”. Using this description, it is true to say that procrastination normally bites deeply into your valuable time and eats it up so that you can’t utilize your precious time to accomplish enviable deeds.

    Here are some of the practical ways you can decisively deal with your procrastination:-

(i)                 Just Do It:- This quote is attributed to Michael Jordan, and it is the best advice anyone can ever get—go ahead and just do that thing (project, schooling, marriage) you’ve been putting off for so long.

(ii)               Be Fearless:- Fears usually prevent people from doing what they should be doing. But when you become fearless, you will be able to achieve more.

(iii)             Have Some Reminders:- One of the most effective methods of overcoming procrastination is to set up some reminders, they can be object or human reminders—alarms or your friends or spouses.

Happiness (3): Do You Really Want To Be Happy?

    Do you really want to be happy? Happiness is an abstract experience that cannot be physically quantified or measured. But it can be felt and enjoyed. It brings peace of mind, resourcefulness and greater productivity. And for anyone to be filled with happiness, he or she must show the apparent willingness that he or she truly NEEDS it.

     Here are some of the THINGS you should know about Happiness:

(i)                 Happiness emanates from your actions—in other words, what you do on a daily basis contributes to the level of happiness you can experience.

(ii)               Watch your lifestyle, it either makes you happy or unhappy—destructive lifestyles often produce unhappiness.

(iii)             What kind of people do you have around you? Believe this: if your friends are hecklers, sadists and persistent accusers, sorry friend, you will never be happy.

(iv)             Don’t be deceived that having a lot of money can make you happy; not always. Happiness comes from the way you live your life and how you use your wealth.

(v)               Lastly, happiness is a choice: people have the power to choose whether they want to be happy or not. The choice is yours!

Personal Transformation (3): You Are A Valuable Genius to the World

There’s no doubt that you are indeed a valuable genius to the world! There are different definitions of “genius” in the dictionaries, and Webster-Merriam Dictionary defines it as “extraordinary intellectual power especially as manifested in creative activity”. God has input in everyone a seed of intellectualism. In other words, you are a genius if you have at any time—

(i)                 Set your mind on an idea, a good cause, a business, an agenda and achieve it

(ii)               Create something out of nothing

(iii)             Influence people’s lives in a way that they will never remain the same

(iv)             Have the thought of transforming this world for good.

But it is not enough knowing that you are a genius; you must truly get up, get going and actively do something to achieve all your sterling goals!
