I once attended a leadership training and one of the things that happened to me at that training was that “Everyday and in every way I was getting better and better”; that quote also happens to be the first creed the instructors asked us to recite everyday at the commencement of every class.
Why am I telling you this? Because most of the time we do the same things we have always been doing yet we expect a different result; it does not work that way. You wake up in the morning, say some prayer if time permits, dress up and go to work (the job you don’t like), return home in the evening, bath, eat and sleep. Only to wake up the next morning doing the same things – you might never find fulfillment living such a predictable life.
You don’t have to quit your job and start a company if that’s not what you want to do, to be fulfilled. Whether you are rich or poor, fair or dark, famous or not, successful or a failure, all of us have the same amount of time everyday – which means we can choose to do whatsoever with our 24hours but the difference between the people I mentioned earlier is not that they have more time than the others but in what they did differently with their own time. A successful man gets better every day in atleast one way; the un-successful stays at the same point yet expect to be successful. Activity is not equal accomplishment; if it is then the hardworking bricklayers and community laborers would achieve more in life compared to many lawyers and bankers who sit in AC fitted offices.
I have written this short #MondayInspiration piece to motivate you to do something differently today and this week. Dress this week like you have never dressed before, come up with ideas that has never been heard before in your companhy, read a powerful book during work that you have never read before, set a goal for this week like you have never done before. If you can attend a training this week that you have never attended before, write something this week that you have never written before, apply for a new job that you have never applied for before, sell something that you have never sold before, visit a mentor that can help you become better, pray and hear God like you have never done before, and also share www.olatunjispeaks.com (Africa’s first inspirational blog) with all your colleagues like you have never done before. Just do something else other than the usual.
It is only a great fool that refuses to add flavor to the activities of his life yet expect to be great in life. It is my joy that you succeed and prosper but I cannot help you do the things that you need to do; I can only inspire you to do them and I won’t stop.
If you don’t want to have such a commonly predictable future like everybody else alter the course of your life by altering the events in your life; Determine Your Own Destiny.
