PEACE OUT

Image
We all started together and now we're here, Seems like yesterday but blessed to the times we dare. Some we started together, some we stood till the end, Some left in the middle of the way some were lost, but glory to jah for keeping us thus far. Kudos to the world called school that brought us together, Despite how people despise you, still you gave me a beautiful life to always remember. Many fail to know and many will get to know that their becoming successful in life is tied to how they live their school life. 90% of the lads you passed through school together are definitely going to be the definition of your future. The lives you touched, the lives you spoiled, the ones you raised and the ones you drained... All will stand to speak for or against you on your journey to success. Look back through the years and ruminate how you've lived it. In pain, hatred, anger, pride or love... I'm not your mate, I'm older than you, hope this is not your school life mantra. My brod...

FEAR

Image
The creation of fear in a person's life is the beginning of a failed life. Let me rephrase; a man that fails must have made a friendship with fear. Having a phobia of the future builds nothing but an unfulfilled destiny. Fear has no partnership with success as it is never a step to a glorious life. Ask fortunate people if they ever had the fear of the future. They never did, not because they were born with silver spoon, or fear never came at the course of their beautiful plans but because they were stronger in faith , they rebuked it and they knew it's works. Fear destroys, fear begat defeat, fear kills, ruins, waste, brings laziness to do greater things, fear hinders exploit, fear equates failure. You have to be strong and courageous, not because of yourself alone but because of the generation you belong and generations to come. They need you, they are expecting the works of an hero which is you. Do not fail them. The world needs you. You can do better than whatever you are do...

I LET THE SHOE GO

Image
A strong lesson HALF SHOE actually taught me last year was that; UNTIL YOU POSSES THAT TREASURE, HEIGHT AND POSITION WHICH YOU ENVY WHEN OTHERS DO, YOU MAY NEVER UNDERSTAND THE PAIN THERE IN.   Whenever I see a young man putting on this shoe, there is always a joy that emanates within which afterwards provoke a kind of hunger to posses it. This hunger keeps hunting me for days and months until I finally yielded and I got myself one.   The purchase of this beautiful treasure marks the beginning of my understanding of the words written in capital letter above. Not that it only looks good and nice on me, I also receive complements from people on how well it fits me and how smart it is whenever I walk with it. Little did they know they pain I pass through having to put the shoe on for a whole day (it’s always like a baking room).   My Points; * Many times we long for the things people possess and we do not. * Many times we envy people doing well in some areas ...

IN A TIME LIKE THIS

Image
We've seen how the situation of the world was turned around by the global pandemic. What we see as normal was replaced with a new normal, what we think was not possible was made possible, what we couldn't think of before was brought to reality because we had a shift in our thought. We have people that have been able to adapt to this situation and we have people who find it very difficult to adapt. I just launched a book that will open your eyes to some certain realities and also help you in your quest for success and fulfillment.  Check it out and you'd be glad you did:  https://bit.ly/IATLTPaymentPortal

CALM DOWN, TAKE A REST

Image
Dear change maker, Yes, the quest for personal development can get exhausting, especially with the unprecedented amount of personal development opportunities in form of webinars, courses and the likes available these days. You start to feel it when it constantly seems like your to-do list is an unending compilation of tasks. Even worse is the feeling of inadequacy, that you should be doing more, that even with all that you're doing you're missing out on a lot of other opportunities. Then comes the information overload. You're taking in much more information than you are putting to use. There's so much information floating around in your head, you can't even take a break to sort through them. It's dizzying. Tiring. You wonder why there are only 24 hours in a day and only seven days in a week, like shouldn't there be more?? You are stressed out, overwhelmed, and on the verge of breaking down... I see you. Just like you and thousands of other youth ...

REJOICE

Image
Rejoice! Rejoice!! Rejoice!!! I wouldn't want to sound controversial in this piece but permit me to refer to the words of the scripture; Philippians 4:4  Rejoice in the Lord always; and again I say, rejoice. ___ This picture was shot few days back during my visit to a friends official launching of his business and also to share some good time with like minds. Basically, I wanted posting the picture with no caption but the word REJOICE keeps ringing in my heart and I strongly believe its actually for someone that will be opportune to read this.  ___ Life can seem like an endless round of tasks that need to be accomplished, bills that need to be paid, a to-do list that only seems to get longer, and our body gets weaker as the years go on. And that doesn't include the sometimes more serious situations that can crop up tribulations we haven't chosen and have no power to practically change or overcome. ___ Many times, statements like; if I could just take a vacation;...

YOU CAN ASK, BUT NEVER BEG

Image
“The strong individual is the one who asks for help when he needs it.” Rona Berett.  We all need help at one time or another and there is no crime asking for help anytime you need one. You don’t need help because you are poor or week, but you need help in order to remain strong. At every point of need, someone somewhere has been assigned by God to help you and it’s your duty to ask so as to be given.  A lot of people gave up their dreams just because they couldn’t get necessary assistance needed to fulfill such dreams. But I encourage you not to give up when you are turned down by those you expected to help you. May be they didn’t have what you need at such times. And you need to do is to make further attempts elsewhere. As much as you need help, make sure you don’t subject yourself to a nonentity or allow yourself to be ridiculed by anybody. You don’t deserve the help of anyone who sees your request as a burden or those who would treat you as a nonentity just because you need...

MR ANONYMOUS THE TABLE TURNER

Image
Good day world changer  I bring you greetings in this pressing time from my humble abode  As much as I do not want to partake in the trending ANONYMOUS message flying all over the air, so also is the effect won't stop reflecting back and drawing my attention more closer and this has ignited me to drop my view We often say that 'for every action we take as individuals, there is always a reflection of our actions at a later time and season in life!' and so, many pay less or no attention to this as they live their lives with the ignorant conviction that nobody is watching and with "IT IS MY LIFE" ideology  What will people say about you after you cease to exist on planet earth has been a common and general question we do ask but reverse is the case as MR ANONYMOUS turns the table around to be WHAT IS PEOPLE SAYING ABOUT ME WHILE I'M STILL ALIVE I stumbled on different anonymous messages and to some, I laughed, to some, I gave accolades and to some, I ...

COMPARISM

Image
Comparison  or  comparing  is the act of evaluating two or more things by determining the relevant, comparable characteristics of each thing, and then determining which characteristics of each are similar tothe other, which are different and to what degree. Where characteristics are different, the differences may then be evaluated to determine which thing is best suited for a particular purpose. The description of similarities and differences found between the two things is also called a comparison. Comparison can take many distinct forms, varying by field: Many atimes as human, we compare ourselves with our fellow human and in doing this, it most times cause us more harm than good 7 REASONS WHY YOU MUST AVOID UNHEALTHY COMPARISON 1. INFERIORITY COMPLEX: When it seems what others have are better than what you have, you won't appreciate things you have anymore because of inferiority complex.  2. COMPETITIVE JEALOUSY: In an attempt to be like othe...

BECOMING A BARRIER BREAKER

Image
The story of Roger Bannister is an inspiring example of a barrier breaking personality. During the first half of the twentieth century, many sports experts believed that no runner could run a mile in less than four minutes. And for a long time they were right.  But then on May 6, 1954, British runner and university student Roger Bannister ran a mile in 3 minutes 59.4 seconds during a competition in Oxford. Less than two months later, another runner, Australian John Landy, also broke the four-minute barrier.  Then suddenly dozens and then hundreds of others broke it. Why? Because Roger Bannister was determined to change the order of thing by breaking a long-standing barrier of self-limitation, and they all began to adopt the mind-set and belief of those who had broken the barrier.  Bannister’s attitude and actions compounded when exposed to others. His attitude spread. Today, every world-class runner who competes at that distance can run a mile in less than fou...

Increasing Your Value Before Anyone

Image
I got into a discussion this morning with a Corps member who was having issues with her boss at work on a powerful secret that affects the progress of many in life. I got into a the discussion and asked her "if someone meets you and ask you about Mr. Abiodun of so so so, would you have something to say?", and her answer was yes. I pressed further what she would say if she was asked. She then mentioned that "I will say  He is hardworking ". Like really! How do you know that? I created an impression on her mind when we met for the first time speaking for only about 10 minutes. That is just an example of how the first impression we make on people's mind go a long way to determine what people perceive of us and how valuable we are.   Darling, we can create an impression in 2 seconds that people can carry for up to 2 years. You can create a bad impression in 2 minutes but need 2 years to change it When you go before people, always remember their impressio...

MY ROTARACT STORY

Image
It all started about some reasonable years ago! My elder brother happened to be a bonafide member of Rotaract Club at the Prestigious Owo Polytechnic in Ondo State. His style, way of life and sudden transformation in approaches to life issues caught my attention and made me deep further to what he has actually engaged himself in that caused this kind of positive shift and it was through my findings I got to know about Rotaract Club. The Purpose and Goals of Rotaract then attracted me so well that even when I was yet to gain admission into a tertiary institution, I was already a Rotaractor at heart. In the year 2013, I gained admission to the Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti (Fresher as fondly called) but with the mind-set and mentality I've developed overtime, I vowed not to settle for less and mandate myself to pursue greatness even outside the confine of Academics which happened to be my primary aim of coming to Ado-Ekiti. Was introduced to Rotaract Club meeting on camp...

PROCRASTINATION

Image
Procrastination is the mother of delay and enemy of progress in any faculty of life, whether in business, academic, ministry, and even family.  Procrastination is like virus. It eats into the very fabric of life. He who cannot manage his time cannot manage his life.  Procrastination ties itself to time, giving an impression that the day is still young.  Procrastination whispers to you that you are still as young as ever, till all privileges and opportunities pass you by.  Fight procrastination, and kick it out of your life.

Unveiling

Image
About some months ago in the land of The Federal Polytechnic, Ado-Ekiti. It was a moment of truth and revelation as the students of the great citadel of learning were exposed to diverse knowledge and they were made to come to the knowledge of some secrets to relevance both earthly and beyond. A bit of the English definition of ‘WORLD’ is a distinctive class of persons or their sphere of interest or activity. We believe the school to be a sphere that its activities, operation and focus is distinct and its influence and importance cannot be over emphasize in the generality of the world’s activity at large. This is a kind of setting that has the highest stake in either making or marring the future of the younger generations. OutWorld Summit was birth through the passion of a young Nigerian Student who is concerned and passionate about seeing the younger generation equipped and well prepared for the ‘After school realities’. The first edition was held in The Federal  Po...

HONOUR YOUR SPOUSE

Image
Relationship is one vital part of life which cannot be left unattended to. Irrespective of a man's vision or aspiration, when his relationship is not right, everything will in no time become wrong on his path.  This is just an extract to feed our mind as husbands and wives Whenever your husband is returning home, the moment he enters the house, as a wife, halt whatever you are doing immediately:  -If you are on a call, end it.  -If you are surfing the net, drop the phone.  -If you are on a chat, suspend it.  -If you have visitors, leave them and walk up to your husband.   -Whatever chore you are doing, abandon it, if it can't be abandoned, say something positive.  -If you are in an online live event, suspend it.  -If you are watching TV, abandon it.  For indeed, your husband is your king and if a king enters his palace, it's not befitting that he shouldn't be welcomed, so hurry up to welcome your king, collect his brief case/...

Image

Preparation and Opportunity births Success

Image
Late Stella Obasanjo, the wife of the former President of Nigeria, Olusegun Obasanjo, attended a programme close to where she obtained her Secondary School education. After the programme, while stepping out of the venue, she heard somebody shouting from behind, "Aunty Star!, Aunty Star!, Aunty Star!..........." This was the name her juniors in school used to call her while she was in Secondary School. She turned around and saw the woman calling her and beckoned on her escorts to allow her pass through. The woman informed her that she was one of her juniors while they were in school. Her Excellency was so pleased to meet her. The woman took the opportunity to plead with Stella to assist her as she was a widow and was suffering with her children. Her Excellency, being a very compassionate woman asked her to name what she wanted her to do for her. The woman replied her by saying "Anything". This question was put to her again and she repeated the same answer! So Her Exc...

EVEN DOGS DON'T FORGET

Image
The late king of a certain community had ten wild dogs. He used them to torture and eat any of his servants who made a mistake. One of the servants gave an opinion which was wrong, and the king didn’t like it at all. So he ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs. The servant said, “I served you for ten years, and you do this to me? Please give me ten days before throwing me to those dogs!” The king agreed. In those ten days, the servant went to the guard who looks after the dogs and told him he would like to serve the dogs for the next ten days. The guard was baffled but agreed, and the servant started feeding the dogs, cleaning for them, bathing them, and providing all sorts of comfort for them. When the ten days were over, the king ordered that the servant be thrown to the dogs for his punishment. When he was thrown in, we were all amazed to see the ravenous dogs only licking the feet of the servant! The king, baffled at what he was seeing, said, ”What has happened to my dogs?...

HAVE GOOD OPINIONS OF YOURSELF

Image
We all compliment other people's look, outfits, cars, children, businesses, families, etc but most often we forget to neither compliment nor appreciate ourselves or things we have.  The quality of self-opinions you have about yourself would go a long way to determine the consciousness of your thoughts, words, decisions, and actions. You can't think like a slave and live as a king, just as you can't nurture poverty in your mind and live in abundance. No! Stop having negative thoughts and opinions about yourself. Negative opinions of yourself by yourself limits your abilities and inhibits you from living a productively. Think and say positive things about yourself and to yourself, and you would see them manifesting.  NOTE People would treat you the exact way you think about yourself. So you must learn to always demonstrate the best of your being both in your thoughts and in your actions. Credit to: Gbenga Emiloju (DMPII) I am Daniel Oluwayiose Feeding the MIND...t...

5 Ways to Make Yourself Mentally Stronger This Year

Image
New Year’s resolutions aren’t particularly effective–in fact, most people give them up by mid-January. The reason resolutions fail is because people set big goals to change their lives without working on the mental strength they’ll need to succeed. So this year, as the resolution you set on December 31 falls by the wayside, don’t be too hard on yourself. Instead, take a step back and commit to building the mental muscle you need to achieve your goals. Here are five things you can start doing now to make yourself mentally stronger this year: 1. Practice labeling your emotions. Putting a name to your feelings decreases their intensity. So whether you’re feeling sad, anxious, angry, or scared, acknowledge it–at least to yourself. Also, pay attention to the way those emotions can affect your choices. When you’re feeling anxious you may be less inclined to take risks. When you’re excited you may be more impulsive. Increasing your awareness of your emotions can de...
