Motivation for Success

Let me ask you this question: that partner in your relationship, is he/she your soulmate or foulmate? Unfortunately, most partners in relationships think they have a soulmate, but rather a foulmate. Who is a Soulmate? A soulmate is that one person whose heart, soul, spirit, vision and dreams connect with yours. He is someone whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soulish needs, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, and self-awakening. It's the one person who knew you and accepted you and believed in you before anyone else did or when no one else would—Kenny Loggins Who is a Foulmate? A “foulmate” is the person who comes into your life by lying and is attracted to you by vague things, connected by selfish interests, and there is no genuineness in his/her commitment to the relationship. He is an opportunist! How would you know if your partner is a “foulmate”? - When your mate cannot motivate you to achieve your dream, but rather antagonizes it....

Your mindsets and perspectives in life can be a source of your limitations. Sometimes we limit ourselves by comparing our parents with others; why was I not born by rich parents? Why was I not born in USA, Canada, UK, etc.? Why is there no one to help me with my dream? Why did I not go to Harvard, Cambridge, or MIT, like others? This list is endless! You can still go to the best school in the world and be ignorant and a fool. You can have rich background, but your back is on the ground and you are not rich in knowledge and wisdom. You can be born and bred in advanced countries, and still become a nonentity and still fail in life! Your background should not limit you! Rise up and carve a niche for yourself! Break out of the circle or jinx! Discover, exploit and explore your inner gifts! Listen to me: If no one had ever achieved greatness, succeeded, became a millionaire, and experienced uncommon breakthrough, gave mouth-watering testimonies, became a celebrity, a national Icon, a game...

In this world, from the time you are born until you get old and die, there are two possible results: leaving a message and just making a passage. A message is a communication containing information, news, advice, requests, political, social, or moral points, and nonverbal behaviours and lifestyles we pass to others. Conversely, a passage is the action or process of passing through from one place to another. In the context of this nugget, I am talking about passage as a transition in life from birth to death. Are you in this world to give and leave a message, by making an impact and leaving an imprint in society or are you just making a passage with no impact or leaving any imprint in the sands of time? When your words, actions, counsel, motivation, lifestyle, giving, and behaviours are impacting life positively, you are leaving a message, a legacy for now and after you leave this world. Understand that, our lives (actions, deeds, words, lifestyles) are a letter (epistles), or message...

You have always heard the saying, “WINNERS NEVER QUIT, AND QUITTERS NEVER WIN.” This could not be further from the truth, but NOT in most cases. Would you be surprised if I told you that QUITTERS are also WINNERS? For quitters to become winners, they must invoke the power of saying NO. This willpower allows them to reject and refuse habits that can destroy their destiny and hinder their fulfillment in life. A survey revealed that 80% of quitters promised to quit a bad habit, but never did, 15% returned to the habit after a short time, while 5% quit the bad habit. Quitting a habit is a long process that can take several attempts, but requires determination, intentionality, patience, and prayers. Remember, Rome was not built in a day! So, how can QUITTERS become WINNERS? - If you quit alcohol, and smoking, you win healthy lungs, liver and kidney, good health and long life - If you quit a toxic relationship, you will win happiness and regain your self-esteem, self-worth and avoid emotion...

They say, "empty barrels make the loudest noise." This is really the truth. Just look around you, successful people are quiet; they are not noise makers. When you are full of wisdom, knowledge, understanding, and excellent spirit, it doesn't make noise. It speaks for itself. It announces you wherever you go. It attracts people to you! It magnetizes people top you. People become your announcer not yourself! For example, Daniel and Joseph in the Bible didn’t announce themselves or make noise; people announce them to the kings become of what they see in them! They carry gifts that can solve people’s problems. It is the arrogance of ignorance, pride, and emptiness that makes noise. Such people seek for attentions because they are suffering from Attention Deficiency Syndrome (ADS). Successful people don't make noise; they make news; they become news! It's failures that make a lot of noise. Don't announce your deeds. Let it speak for itself. #WisdomNuggets #MakeN...

To achieve some FEATS in life, and LEAD others, we need to take a LEAP. In other words, we need to take a LEAP of Faith. It means doing something extraordinary. It means moving a step AHEAD AND ABOVE others. It means thinking out of the box- that is thinking differently, unconventionally, intelligently or from a new perspective. When you USE THE SAME MODEL to do what others are doing, you will achieve the same result they are getting! Take a LEAP of faith! Taking a leap of faith is taking calculated risk-NOT BLIND FAITH-with focus on the goals and your eyes on God who can empower you to succeed (John 15:5; Daniel 12:32). Know that success is not magical. Its practical and tactical! By the way lets define LEAP: - L-LEARN SOMETHING NEW - E-EXPERIENCE NEW PERSPECTIVES - A-APPLY THE KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED - P-PRAY FOR ITS MANIFESTATION Know for sure that, if you LEAP you will LEAD and if you LEAD you will REAP; but it won’t come cheap on the platter of gold. Therefore, you need to be intent...

For every step you want to take in life, make preparation for a fall. Yes, you heard me right! Prepare for a fall! Like a growing baby, that wants to start walking, the first two or three steps always lead to a fall, even sometimes with injury. But that won’t stop the baby from trying again! After that, the baby build experience and confidence, by perfecting the art of walking. Understand that, we grow, learn and build character through failures, pains, sufferings and afflictions! For any position you seek in life, prepare for opposition. They will mock you, despise you, and throw mud at you! Know that a fruitless tree does not attract stones and sticks. Don’t be distracted, face the goal and focus on the results. People celebrate results and not insults! Therefore, when life throws stone at you, use it to build structures that the thrower would see and be put to shame. When life throws insults at you, use it to generate results that are evident to everyone. When life throws mud at yo...

It is the way of humans to always forget the 99% of your good deeds and then focus on the meagre 1% of your failures, errors or mistakes, by condemning and judging you! I wish we could all be as quick to encourage and counsel others about wrongs they commit as we are to quickly rebuke, judge and condemn them. As humans, we all make mistakes and have our individual weaknesses and strengths. Focus more on the strengths and good virtues of others than their failures or errors. We are not called to judge anyone! (John 8:7–11; Matthew 7:1-2) Let us leave this attitude of “THE KETTLE CALLING THE POT BLACK” aside. We are all products of the mercies of God! Una good morning! One love!😍🥰🌹❤️ #WisdomNuggets2024 #EncourageNotCondemn #CounselNotJudge #IamPOZA

In life, we must understand that, sometimes, God will take us through the road we don't want to take in life, because it is rough, not smooth, muddy and windy; but we have to follow and submit to His sovereignty. If we did, we would later discover it was the best road we ever took. Remember that the road that leads to greatness in life is less travelled. If you want to go far, go with someone, but if you want to go fast, go alone. #WisdomNuggets2024 #RoadLessTravelled #SovereigntyOfGod #IamPOZA

According to Albert Einstein, “Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” Begin with the End in Mind means you must sit down and analyse the benefits, risks and challenges to be envisaged before making any move in life. Beginning with the end in mind is all about asking yourself self-probing questions to determine your objectives and the reasons behind what you want to do or achieve. Therefore; -Before you step out on your daily task, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that relationship, begin with the end in mind -Before you hurt that person, begin with the end in mind -Before you refuse to forgive that individual, begin with the end in mind -Before you join others to backbite, backstab, gossip or hate someone, begin with the end in mind -Before you marry that woman or man, begin with the end in mind -Before you go into that business partnership, begin with the end in mind Concerning our lives, it means always having the image of the end of your l...
