How to Get the Best Out of Yourself


The Power Within

**You have what it takes**

You have the dynamism to cause change in your environment, your nation, and (at least if you would think a little bigger) your world.

I am not blabbing. I know the last time you might have check yourself at the mirror in your bedroom, you may have seen quite the contrary- that is a poor, lonely, frustrated and hopeless YOU and nothing more.
…but I’ve got good news for you!
I don’t really care what the study about yourself really is or whether your circumstances is kissing you too hard. The truth of life is that, the power of the mirror is only useful to the physical manifestation of things. The mirror makes no sense when it comes to figuring out things that are spiritual, unseen or within. The truth about yourself cannot be seen through a mirror.

**There is an untapped wealth inside of you**
There is a superior power within you that only need to be unleash to spark the miracle the world is waiting for.
What I am telling has nothing to do with you believing it or not; it’s but the PROFOUND truth that you have no choice but to accept.

Within lies all you need.
Within lays the POWER.
Within lies the uncommon treasure that would feed our hungry-stricken world…

The world is waiting…
How long will you keep hiding in your cave?
Don’t ask where the power is; just figure it out.
You will never understand the mystery of what lies within you until you try to figure it out.

Unleash Your Very Best

**Usain Bolt has taken Beijing by storm at the 2008 Olympics. Bolt electrified 90,000 fans at the Bird's Nest, striking not once but thrice with world records. First, he blew away the field in the 100m on Aug. 16, lowering his own world record to 9.69 seconds despite looking around, raising his arms out and then pounding his chest over the last few meters. Then he became the first man since Carl Lewis to sweep in the 100m and 200m at the Olympics, and he broke Michael Johnson's 12-year-old record in the process. Bolt dominated the field to clock 19.30, bettering Johnson's mark by .02. Finally, Bolt ran the third leg of Jamaica's 4x100m relay, handing off to Asafa Powell, who brought it home for an easy gold. **
After such a huge success, this man did not relent or decide to travel for a long vacation to the East or Secret Place like most people do; rather He made a shocking statement when preparing for another Event shortly after his Olympic success.
I want to get my blood pumping again,” said Usain Bolt, “and I want to do more and achieve more”.

Bolt knew that the power within a man cannot be measured, evaluated, or perceived by winning Olympic medals (or setting records or gaining rewards); but rather, when you dare for more.

One of the most difficult researches in human history is this: finding a man who may have reached his/her full potential and power.
No matter what we think we have done, it’s always half-way of our power.
**The world only has great men with half-fulfilled potentials. (I am sorry to say).

…but I have a dream: My dream is to one day see a world…a world where everyone would be able to recognize his/her potential and power and use it to the growth of humanity and to glorify God the giver.

The Seven Golden Words for Getting the Best Out of Yourself


**One oft-told tale about Kissinger involved a report that Winston Lord worked on for four days. After giving it to Kissinger, he got it back with the notation, “Is this the best you can do?”
Lord rewrote and polished and finally resubmitted it; back it came with the same curt question. After redrafting it one more time- and once again getting the same question from Kissinger- Lord snapped, “Damm it, Yes, it’s the best I can do”. To which Kissinger replied, “Fine, then I guess I’ll read it this time.” (KISSINGER, WALTER ISAACSON, 1992)**


It will be a great tragedy for Senator Barack Obama to say ‘what else is there to achieve?’ after becoming the first Black-American to win the U.S presidency.
He recognized that, life is far larger than the U.S presidency!

**A top football club in Spain was having a terrible season, so they tried to figure out what is the source of there sudden break-down.
“Could it be injury problems?” thoughts began to fly around. “Could it be that the coach has lost its touch?” “Could it be that the players are not good emough?”
They search and search. There were no injury problem(s). The coach was practically okay and hasn’t really lost his touch, and also the players are good—at least it was this same crop of players that won the last season championship in a record breaking style.
“Then what could be the problem”, you may ask.
When one of their key players was approached to give his opinion about the terrible situation, He did not hesitate but said, “I think we have lost our motivation…our enthusiasm; for we saw nothing else to achieve after last season great success. This is why we are suffering and paying dearly for it.”**

What is truth!!!

To be sick means, not to have the spirit to pursue new things anymore; having no more dreams.

Life is better when we say ‘what next can I achieve’ rather down saying ‘what else is there to achieve?’

What makes men like Michael Jordan, Tiger Woods, Jose Mourinho, David Beckham and so no, truly great?

Their secret is nothing but the self-question of ‘Is this truly the best I can do?’ becoming their watchword and motto.

You have no idea of how much power you’ve got inside when you learn to always look up to news things…new dreams…no matter what you have or have-not.
No matter the success, there is always a new season and also a new trophy to be won.

You must allow these seven golden words- is this the best I can do? - to become your guide and watchword..
It will inspire and it will awake the greatest giant the world has never seen

Yes; celebrate, enjoy, pat you back if you like, but the issue is never go to sleep.

ALWAYS DARE FOR MORE!!!

How to Overcome the Negative Concept of Life


What is Your Perception of Life?

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more
-- Virginia Woolf

Our lives are controlled by our perceptions.
I think the phrase that says 'what you see is what you get' is really making more head-waves than ever. It's truly an absolute truth we can bet our neck on!

You must first recognize your personal concept of life before you can fast-track your moves in life.

I had a friend who would always say, “Life is a battlefield!. Now is a preparing to take a military course to become the next soldier boy!
How else do you want me to tell you this: Life is not a battlefield; and you cannot fight its battles with bullets and knifes.

**It’s true that your CONCEPTS will always determine your ACTIONS**

Change Your Perception

My dear friend, if I may ask, what is your perception of Life? What have you conceived in your heart about the world you are living in?

Your current or present state is your yesterday’s conception. Your life-view point today will determine the kind of future you will have.
God cannot help a man with the WRONG mindset!
** You need to inquire a NEW heart and a sound mind… the one that connects to God’s concept, thoughts and ideas**

If you don’t like what you see in your life, change what you see about life.
If you see a ‘battlefield life’ like my friend, you will probably be carrying guns and knife!

A Life Greater Than Your Thin Perception

I have always tell- as many who cares to listen- that, “Life is not always about what we think is it or should be, cause it’s far larger than our thin perceptions.
Our concepts are measured by the level of our mindset.
Our mindset is determined by our training.
It’s really painful to observe that, most people’s life view-points are only the product of their up-bringing, environmental and association influence.

Your wrong concept of life is only caused by ignorance, misunderstanding and wrong judgment of God’s purpose, thoughts and ideas about life.
**When our concept differs from the creator then it’s said to be misconception**
“Our people perish for lack of knowledge” so says the Holy Scriptures.

The only way you can get the right mindset about life, which is very important if you want to live the right life, is to try as much as to get God’s Original intent, thought, plan, purpose and idea about life.
Why is this very important?
The way you can know the right and best use of any product is to get to the mind of the manufacturer or producer.
God owns life, including yours!
Why not find His thoughts about life rather than depending on your personal or people’s opinion. (Take this advice seriously)

Why Death Should Tell You Something…

It’s too sad to observe that, the only time people try to figure out the true meaning of life is when they are in a burial funeral!

Didier Drogba, one of Africa’s finest football players from Ivory Coast, stated, “The death of my grand mother completely struck me down, more than anything else. This made me to ask a few questions to myself. I wondered what I was running after. I said to myself that it was pretty useless to run after results, stats, or rewards”.

Virginia Woolf rightly said, ‘Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more”.

Listen; not until you come to terms that, life does not consist in the abundance of things you have or have-not, you will never find any meaning about life… and you will only be beating an innocent air!
Life is not about having ‘things’; and not until you recognize, like Drogba, that it’s pretty and really useless to run after stats, results, records, or rewards, life will never make sense to you!

A Better…A Larger Perception

A is truly beautiful when you look at it beyond your emotion.

Life is no longer looking for men who are only running after its treasures and pleasures; but men (also women, boys, even children) who will make it more beautiful andturn it into a blessed ‘holiday garden’.

Change your perception… and live a better life!

How To Become A Lucky Person

The Common Myths

“Successful people are just lucky people”
“If only I was a bit lucky I know I would have become successful in life”
“I am just too unlucky in life”
“Maybe I have a bad head!”

These are the common ‘junks’ you’ll always hear from the poor and losers all every where. It’s really terrifying!

*If you ever want to break-out and truly get to the down-stream sector of success, then you must fight to drop your negative perspective and wrong conception about LUCK and GRACE.*

Yes; it’s true that there is always an aura of grace and luck in the lives of successful men, but this is only because nobody cares to know how they where before they become successful.
Luck has a great deal of effect in the life of successful men, but, I think your greatest search is find out the role they played in seducing the power of grace to become friendly with them. There is a thin line you are missing about their ‘lucks’!

The Principle Of Luck

“Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also want you. But you have to take action to get it” said Jack Canfield.

He that is waiting for favor is sure never to get it.
Opportunity dance with those who are already in the dance floor!

You must be ready to take action to grab good-luck when it cometh to your doorstep.

**A man that has no work has no luck**
The door of favor will never be open until you give out a loud knock.

**Nothing is more expensive than a missed opportunity! **

“ Opportunity is a haughty goddess that wastes no time with those who are unprepared”, so says the Babylonian proverb.
To attract good-luck to oneself, it is perhaps very necessary to be a master of taking advantage of opportunities many eyes cannot see.

**I think two eyes are not enough if you want to be lucky in life. You need to have four eyes! **
A blind man can never see the beauty of the sky. Open your eyes!

Why Successful People Are Lucky People

1. They know what they want.
If you don’t know what you want life will push you around. Have a desire.

2. Be ready. Be Sober. Be watchful.
Successful people are like trained soldiers. You’ve got to hunt for your ‘animals’ rather than just waiting them to come to your house. Be alert to strike when the bird of luck come flying

3. Take action.
You must always train yourself to be an actor, not to remain a procrastinator or a bed-warmer

4. Go and make some else lucky.
This is one of the absolute truths of life. When you choose to be a blessing to someone’s life, then you will become blessed yourself.
This is one law I don’t play it. When ever I want to improve in wisdom and knowledge about a subject, I always try to first teach it out.

*if you want some luck, first give it out! *

Enjoy more grace…
