For the future | Separate yourself

 No one owes you anything, life does not owe you. You need to realize that sooner than later. Stop talking about the future, rather start acting for the future. You future starts now.

One of the hardest things most people find difficult to do, is to separate with people. No wonder people keep useless people who pulling them back and slowing down their progress. There are people you should separate yourself from in order for you to realize the future you are dreaming about. Some people were great in your past but there are not good for you in the future. Step Up for your future. No matter how awesome your grade one teacher was , it came a time where you had to separate with  him or her. The same goes for life, don't be stuck with an awesome person who is no longer of benefit now and in the future. Come on act for the future.

One of the bold steps l have ever taken in life was to reverse a mentor mentee relationship l had gotten myself into. I had asked one man (a Pastor) to mentor me, in less than a week l apologized and reversed the whole arrangement, l don't regret doing that. If that man was my mentor today, my life would have been destroyed by now. Don't get me wrong, the man was great in my past but not for my future. Right now he is a mentor to a number of people but he is not good for my future. I realized that very early and acted on it, even though my decision was not understood by my wife at that time and even by the pastor. What are you waiting for? Act now for the future.

Power Mind

Stop and think just don’t stop thinking: No matter the situation keep your mind functioning and occupied. Everything we see today is a result of a mind which was put to work. Your mind only works when it is put to work. People of progress are people of continuous and constant engagement of the mind. Only you set parameters to what your mind can do and achieve.     

Employing the mind for the future: It is up to you to use your mind to focus on your expected future or reflect on your yesterday. Thinking about yesterday only brings memories but thinking about your future brings and creates momentum towards that envisioned future. As powerful as your mind is, it is under your control. You determine what your mind ponders on. Most inventors are people who thought about solutions to the challenges that had presented themselves to them. If all you see around you are challenges, it means your mind is focused on challenges rather than on solutions.  

Your mind has power to shape your future and determine how you will arrive to your goals and vision. So shape your life by shaping your mind through information. The information you allow into your mind determines the knowledge base of your mind and the knowledge your mind has determines the course of your life. In any situation you determine what your mind thinks about, between the challenge and solutions.    

Time & Money

Time once gone can never be gained nomatter how much you work. All you can do is work harder to cover-up for the lost time. Money once lost, more can be created by working. Success is tired up to how you use your time and money. Wise-up, Step-up use time and money wisely.

To benefit from Time and Money

• Plan/ Prepare: Nothing will fall into place on its own, you must plan/ prepare for things to happen. If you leave life to chance you have no chance.

• Act: Planning will not benefit unless plans are acted upon. After planning you must ACT. Do something   

• Evaluate: Make checks and adjustments as needs arise. Check whether you are making progress and not only progress but planned and meaningful progress. Flexibility is vital.
