What would you focus on if you were looking…

In other words, where do you see yourself in 10 years? I have often asked artistes this question in radio interviews and some readily share their 5- or 10-years goals. There are some who really don’t have a long-term plan though.

Having a plan (goals and milestones) for personal and business/career development helps us to be focused. It guides our actions to achieve daily, weekly, monthly and yearly milestones that put us closer to our long-term (10-year) goals.

If you have not yet made that plan, I recommend that you sit in a quiet space, make sure there is no one and nothing to distract you. Then think about exactly who you want to be and what you need to do to become that person.

What would you focus on if you were looking through a 10-year lens?

Once you know what you want to do, making the plan is easier than you think. All you have to do is visualize them, write them down and stick to them.

Yes, I can tell you right now that you will always have challenges, but the key to achieving your goals is to never give up. Learn all you can, study people who are successful in what you want to accomplish. Be consistent, be persistent, compliment yourself every step of the way, be grateful to yourself and others who contribute to your achievements. Listen…have fun along the way. Just start!

I am sure you hear this almost every day, but doing nothing about it only makes matters worst. Take action now!

I wish you all the best in all your endeavours.

Selflove!

“Selflove is not selfish; you cannot truly love another until you know how to love yourself.” – Anonymous

I do not know who wrote this quote, but I absolutely agree with it and wanted to put it in my network to inspire someone. You would be surprised that there are many persons in this world who are not really loving themselves. Most times it is not even their fault. It’s the environment in which they were cultured, but there is always hope.

I have always loved myself, however in recent times I have discovered that I wasn’t always in love with myself. How do I know that? Some of the decisions I made in life were not ones that contributed to good health. I strongly believe that whomever or whatever you truly love you take great care of.

Bet you didn’t know that I was a chain smoker for almost all my teen and adult life. Yes, I was! Praises to the Creator for giving me the strength to let that go before it totally deteriorated my healthy. The decision to stop smoking came in 2015 and I am so grateful to myself for making the effort to stop before causing great harm.

Many persons, including my late mom, other relatives and friends chided me about my habit, which was coupled with heavy alcohol drinking. Yep, my friends in the media and music industry would remember that.

We partied a lot when I just started radio broadcasting. Man, those were the days, but sensibly, I made the conscious decision to let go off those and other bad habits. So you see, there is hope.

I write about this part of my life just as an example of how we can badly damage our system because we adopted them from our environment. We know they are bad, yet we continue to abuse our minds and bodies to the point where we become sick and sometimes terminally so. Is that selflove?

You might have read somewhere in something that I have written before that says, “My late mom died so that I could live.” I keep saying that because it was due to the circumstances under which she passed that I decided to learn about healthy lifestyle.

The desire to learn all that I can to live healthy and help others along the way has become a routine. Almost every day I read or watch YouTube videos about personal development. Through information that I deem to be valid, I started learning more about how to take care of my mental and physical health.

This new knowledge is also helping me in other areas of my life. I am grateful to everyone who have provided us with helpful information in their books and on the internet to contribute to the transformation of those who are seeking.

Wow! Seems I have strayed from the quote right? Absolutely not! My point is if we truly love ourselves we have to take care of our minds and bodies. Start by being aware of your thoughts and change those that don’t serve you.

A perfect example is, “I am not good enough.” To hell with that! You are more that good enough. You were created in the likeness and image of your wonderful and awesome Creator. So instead of having those thoughts you have to retrain the mind to think positively.

Think about who you want to be and what it would take to be that person. So you would no longer say the above when you are transformed. With selflove it becomes “I am good enough!” As a matter of fact, take it a step further and say, “I am worthy and deserving of the best things in life. I am good enough to receive them.” YEAH!

Start loving yourself more. Today is a good time to start. I love you and wish you the very best!!

Morning praise and inspiration

Here I am publicly journaling my morning praise and sharing a morning inspiration with you. I hope it will inspire you to have an exceptional day.

Morning Praise

“I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.” – Psalm 139:14

Thank you my God for the great rise this morning. I know I was fearfully and wonderfully made to live an exceptional life and for an exceptional purpose. So this morning I am truly grateful that I am able to breathe the breath of life and build my confidence to outstandingly carry out my personal and professional duties to impact this beautiful world.

Morning Inspiration

“Build your own dreams, or someone else will hire you to build theirs.” – Farrah Gray

Life is full of beauty!

“Life is full of beauty. Notice it. Notice the bumble bee, the small child, and the smiling faces. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential, and fight for your dreams.” – Ashley Smith

Something in me lit up when I saw this quote by Asley Smith. Yes, because I just got through my spiritual routine, glorifying the Creator and giving thanks for life, not just mine but yours too and then I saw this quote that says life is full of beauty. It surely is!!

Do yourself a favour, sit for about five minutes in a quiet space, I know you are busy so set the timer to alert you after five minutes. Just close your eyes, stop thinking about your problems and societal problems for a few minutes. Think about something that brought you joy. It could be something very simple, but it made you smile or laugh, filled you with sheer bliss and you felt awesome.

Did you know you can turn that five minutes into twenty-four hours of sheer bliss? Seems impossible right? Well it’s not impossible because I have done it and so can you!!

Of course you will experience negative challenges almost every day, but if you decide that you want something and you work hard enough you will achieve it. So when challenges arise, simply take a few minutes to do an analysis. Find out the cause and how to solve it.

Be sure to solve it no matter how long it takes to do so, but bear in mind that how you deal with the situation determines whether or not you will have peace of mind and remain blissful during the whole experience.

It is up to you to determine how you spend each day. Do not allow externals to cause you to remain in stressful situations. Yes, there will be moments of stress, but snap out of it as quickly as possible so that it doesn’t captivate your mind, keep you stressing for long periods. This will definitely cause you to have a bad day and if you continue like that, you will cause yourself to become ill.

Anyway, set your intention for the day. Tell yourself every morning that life is full of beauty…you are full of beauty and you are going to have a beautiful day no matter what happens at home, on the job, or wherever you go today.

Thank you for reading and have yourself a beautiful day! I love you!!

Relationship Advice!

Today I am sharing seven relationship advice with people who are single and looking forward to getting in a happy and healthy relationship.

Deepen your relationship with the Creator

This has nothing to do with religion – when we get deep in our spirituality and learn how to love ourselves, we becoming loving, confident, compassionate, understanding, kind, stable and forgiving people.

Don’t seek another half

Have you ever heard persons talk about their other half? Well I am advising you not think like that. You are a whole person, who will be getting involved with another whole person who hopefully will compliment you regardless of their shortcomings!

Avoid controlling people

They only come to silence your personality. You can’t breathe around them, because you always have to be doing what they want, how they want it, when they want it, and you have no say in the matter – that will only kill your spirit and dreams. Be vigilant!

Respect other people’s relationships

This simply means that you should not be a home wrecker. There are people who you are attracted to for one reason or another and they may be into you too, but you have to do background research to find out about this person and if he/she is already in a relationship this is not for you. You deserve someone who can give you their full attention and build an amazing life with you.

Live within your means

Make intelligent decisions when choosing a partner. There are persons who get into relationships just for a financial bail-out. Don’t do it! Most times people end up in miserable long-term situations, just because they made poor decisions. You can do better, work with what you have until you are able to achieve more and also have a blissful relationship.

Connection

Make sure you have a connection with the person you are dating before making that important decision. You may not immediately pick up on it but look out for it…don’t force to find the connection, just relax when you are on your date, it will come to you. If you don’t find it by the third date though, hmmm I would think twice if I were you.

Sometimes people rationalize the situation by saying, things like “He/She doesn’t have feelings for me right now, but he/she will grow into it.” Don’t be desperate. You will only get deep and then stuck in a miserable relationship. Have fun when you are out on a date but look for signs. You must be able to connect to find balance for an amazing relationship.

Exude positive energy

Your lack of positive energy usually turns people off. Sometimes this is because of the protective wall that you have up after breaking from another relationship. You must heal from past relationships that cause you to live in fear and start living by faith. Make yourself approachable: so change your mindset about relationships, love yourself more, speak well about yourself, make yourself attractive, live as healthy as possible, learn more about something your are interested in – in other words be confident and as I said before, approachable.

Best wishes

Kindly share relationship advice in our comments section to help people who are seeking to be in healthy, happy, romantic relationships. Thank you for reading and I am sending you love and best wishes for a beautiful day filled with love a pure bliss. Love yourself more today and have an amazing life!!
