Dec 22nd
1. No negative force can withstand the tip of a sharp pen driven or controlled by a focused mind. Wisdom will not diminish when the inspired keep recording their inspiration for posterity. Wisdom contained in one vessel has limited chances to impact humanity. Wisdom shared is vital for human growth and inspiration.
2. Everything we will ever desire for life on this earth is in God. God lives outside our definition of property ownership. He lives outside time as we know it. If you are willing and obedient to what he desires of you, you will eat of the good of the land, guaranteed. God will step into your zone. Will you ready when He does?
3. When we use God given resources for show off then we are compromising the purpose of wealth. It is God who gives you the power to make wealth. He however puts an expectation for stewardship not misappropriation. Be careful when you get blessed that it does not come to sorrow due to misuse. Ask for Ananias and Saphira for lessons on accounting for blessings
4. The fact that you are out of a situation physically does not necessarily mean the situation is out of you. If you have experienced extreme poverty, you may still behave as if you have nothing even after upgrading your financial status. Its in the mind. It takes determination and willingness to fore-go this mindset.
5. No one ever makes mistakes deliberately. You may see an error prone person but they are possibly at their optimum best. Never use your own thoughts as benchmarks for others. You can short change them.
6. He who gives advice has to be careful to obey what he proclaims or suggests. Life is a culmination of seasons. You may be giving judgment today only to be the accused tomorrow. Be conscious of the reason behind every season. You reaction to the season will determine how far you will go in life.
7. The strength of any family is in the things they choose to do together. There is no place for individuality and isolation. A family that prays and plays together is a healthy family. More-so, a family must be the safest place where the deeper issues of life are discussed without anyone feeling the brunt of judgmentalism.
8. It is easy to see problems and shortcomings in another person than the ones you carry. The reason why you are almost a specialist at judging others is largely because there is abundance of the same shortcomings in you.
9. Leaders are in the business of creating winners in those they lead. Leaders who view followers as competition will never think of hiring people who are sharper and more articulate. Furthermore they cease to develop themselves beyond where they are. Stagnation is a detriment to a leader’s greatness.
10. Your mind, will power and your emotions are constantly driving your body to act on things that will either grow you or destroy you. It is however unfortunate that by the time you discover it, the deterioration would have gone to irreversible levels.

1. The main reason why people fail is because their level of awareness on failure being an option is very high. When your perception of life has a more vivid picture of failure than success, you will gravitate towards the more dominant and prevalent mindset. You will actually find creative ways to justify how failure is so human.
2. A seed is as useful as the soil that incubates it. There can never be a yield merely because of a good seed. Other environmental factors come to play. An idea is therefore as good as the mind and body that carries it. Some ideas have faced ideas rights violation where they have been mutilated and ignored instead of their full potential being realized.
3. Your mind power alone can not change the world. When you make a decision to sharpen your character by the ideas generated by your mind then you have a chance to transform humanity.
4. It is wrong to dismiss everything at the point of imagination. Many ideas have fallen victim to judgment before the embryo could even be given a chance to develop only to be shocked when someone else starts making money from exactly the same idea. There is no monopoly in ideas. Many may get the same imagination but few may develop it to the point of realization.
5. Possession of skill and talents is not good enough. The only way to make them useful is to use them. The choice you have to make is to use your gifting or lose it altogether.
6. The quality of your life is determined by those things you find pleasure in doing effortlessly without any reminders. Daily tasks and decisions culminate in the formation of a life story where you are the main focus. Your purpose is your compass that eventually leads you towards your own destiny.
7. Allotment of time to any tasks or activity should mainly be based on complexity of the task and more importantly the urgency or level of importance of the task with relation to where you are going. Not everything that is urgent is important. Not everything that is important is complex. All tasks however deserve your most excellent attitude towards their successful implementation.
8. Writing a book is about the easiest part in the publishing process. What is more crucial though are the tasks that come after your thoughts are in print. Books are rated in their sales but those sales are also driven by the value of the contents or what the book purports to carry. Your recognition is on how best you are at selling more than the actual writing. I advise that always make your material excellent enough to draw multitudes than focus on selling what you haven’t perfected.
9. No matter how talented or skilled you maybe, you still need to carry the winner’s attitude for you to succeed in the face of competition. You may never win until your view of winning becomes so possible in eye of your mind and so real that you feel you can actually achieve it.
10. Spectators have no business judging those in the field of play. The only people with the right to talk and criticize on performance and progress are those with the willingness to get their hands dirty. Surely you may crown yourself the best spectator but it is not what you shout on the terraces that can change the world. When you get down to the field of endeavor and act, you acquire the license to add value to the processes.
