WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT, YOU BRING ABOUT

 "I f you are going to win a battle, you must ensure that the mind controls the body. Never the other way around.” General George Patton Whatever you think about you bring about. Whatever is impressed must be expressed. Be careful what you think about. Never think about what you do not want. Do not talk about the things you do not want. Do not even entertain ideas which you do not want showing up in the canvas of your life. If you do not want it, do not think or talk about it. Put it out of your mind, you have the ability to choose. The Law of Vibration states that we attract those things with which we resonate. To change what you attract, change your resonance. No matter what is going on in the outside world, ensure that you are vibrating at higher frequency on the inside. Always maintain a positive inner dialogue as the importance cannot be overemphasized. If you change your thinking, you are going to change your beliefs. If you change your beliefs then you are going to change y...

SHOUTS OF VICTORY

Image
 SHOUTS OF VICTORY Desire makes one achieve in the heart. Work makes one achieve on the earth. Success will not come to you. You must go to it. "Victory belongs to the most persevering" - Napoleon Hill The story is told of a wise old man who had answers to knotty questions and solutions to life issues. One day, a young man came asking the question, "How do I get success in a definite manner; How do I get success badly?" The old man did not say anything. The young man came every day for the next four months but the old man did not so much as utter a word. On the fifth month, the old man took the young man into a nearby river and dipped the young man into the waters while covering the young man's nostrils with his hands. Just as the young man was gasping for breath, the old man brought him up. The young man was furious as they left the river. He angrily asked the old man, "What was that for!" The old man simply smiled and said, "When I put you under...

TIPS ON CROSS-EXAMINATION

Image
Cross examination is a delicate act and art that requires mastery of the intricacies therein and understanding of the subtle nuances of human nature. The following tips are relevant.  The first rule of cross examination is not to examine crossly. Abuse is not an argument, no matter who gives it. It is dog's eloquence to  abuse and stoop low to injure another's personality. Get the defendant to commit to absolute statements; then confront him with the damaging letter or evidence. Proceed with as much easiness as if the value of a loss in cross examination were less than a kobo. Establish other possibilities that are open even when the evidence is or appears to be  substantially true. Cross examination can be directed to show that witness was occupied with circumstances surrounding the fact rather than the fact itself. This can be skewed to show that the witness was completely inattentive when the incident happened.

AVOIDING THE HIV SYNDROME

  The HIV syndrome stands for having insufficient vision. What do you see concerning yourself? Your finances, your health, your career? Your future? Your marriage? etc. Make sure that you are seeing yourself not as you are but as God wants you to be. Make sure you are imagining the best about yourself because your imagination is the workshop of God upon which engravings of the future are carved. It is what you see that you are empowered to seize. I will quickly tell the story of two people who visited a poor village. The village was characterized by pervasive poverty. One of the two persons focused on the poverty and said: "I have never seen this large number of poor people gathered in one place". Thereafter he shook his head and left. The other man was not looking at the poverty in the village. Guess what? He was looking at their feet and the fact that the people had no shoes. Instead of leaving like the first man, the second man, having seen a business opportunity, left the...

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INFLUENCE (PART TWO)

Image
  Always remember that the only way to get the best of an argument is to avoid it. An Appeal that everyone likes is an appeal to nobler motives for everyone as a high regard for themselves and like to be fine and unselfish in their own estimation. This is why you must paint other people in a good light. Another key to influence is to dramatize your ideas; the movies does it, the TV does it, why don't you do it, - Dramatize your ideas, it works in business and home life as well and this explains why a lover goes down on his knees to propose to his sweetheart. Also, when nothing else works, throw down a challenge. Charles Schwab: The way to get things done is to stimulate competition. I do not mean in a sordid, money getting way but in the desire to excel. "All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward  sometimes to death but always to victory..." Motto of the King's guard in ancient Greece.

THE PSYCHOLOGY OF INFLUENCE

Image
Dealing with people and relationships generally require some level of adroitness. Keep these tips in mind: Call attention to other people's mistakes indirectly. Talk about your own mistakes first.    Humble yourself and praise the other. No one likes to take orders. Ask questions relating to what you want. Let the other person save face rather than find fault. French aviation pioneer, Antoine de Saint- Exupery wrote: "I have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him but what he thinks of himself. Hurting a man's dignity is a crime."        HOW TO SPUR PEOPLE ON TO SUCCESS You encourage people to be their best selves when you praise even the slightest improvement.      This is not about excess flattery. It is simply capitalizing on the inherent need in every human to feel appreciated.      Psychologist Jess Lair said, "Praise is like sunshine to ...

DISCIPLINE IS DESTINY

25 Habits That Will Guarantee You Success The ancients were fond of an expression: Character is fate. It means that character is deterministic, that who you are determines what you will do. Self-discipline is one of those special things that is both predictive and deterministic. It both predicts that you will be great, AND it makes whatever you are doing great. It is not a means to an end. It is not just something we value until we get something we think we might really value—this job title, that amount of money, winning the biggest game, landing the best opportunity. No. Discipline is the win. When you are disciplined about your craft…you win. When you know you put your best into something…you win. When your self-worth is tied to things you can control (effort, for example)…you win. Who we are, the standards we hold ourselves to, the things we do regularly—in the end, these are all better predictors of the trajectory of our lives than things like talent, resources, or anything e...

WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE

Image
WHERE YOU ARE IS NOT WHO YOU ARE By ISHOLA EMMANUEL There is a very interesting experiment which I would like to share with you. The experiment is this: Try taking a container and put in it, carefully selected big stones. Make sure that the stones are big and put them at the bottom of the container. Now place on top of the container stones of smaller sizes. By now you would have a container with small stones on top and big stones underneath. The next thing is that you shake the container. What would you find? You would find that the smaller stones wuld find their way to the bottom while bigger stones will find their way to the top. The big stones signifies people who have built capacity in areas such as physically, mentally, spiritually, socially etc. but due to the vicissitudes of life find themselves down. Whenever you find yourself in this category, I am here to tell you that it is only a temporary phase. You will rise again. Whenever you find your self down ...

IMAGINATION TO EVOLUTION

Image
Imagination is gotten from two words namely image and formation. So imagination talks about the formation of images. Why is this imagination important to focus on. it is important because You can only feature in a future that you can picture. Instead of picturing yourself as not capable you must picture your self as capable. Instead of picturing yourself as not qualified, you must picture yourself as qualified. Instead of picturing yourself as not healthy, you must picture yourself as healthy and fit. Instead of picturing yourself as in lack and debt, you must picture yourself as having all things supplied because even the Scriptures say that My God shall supply all your needs according to his riches in glory and The Lord is your Shepherd, you shall not want. One man who has two important quotes relating to imagination has to be Albert Einstein. He was a German born physicist and he lived between 1879- 1955 and was popular for his theory of relativity. Concern...

A PIECE OF ADVICE ON PEACE

Image
Philipians 4:7: "And the peace of God which passes all human understanding shall keep your hearts and minds in Christ." Why is your peace of mind so important? It is so important because you can always gauge or measure the quality of decisions that'll you make based on the level of inner peace that you enjoy. When you are living in harmony with your innermost convictions and highest values in life, you have a perfect balance and you enjoy peace of mind. Brian Tracy calls peace of mind your internal gyroscope. You will appreciate this better when you check further for the meaning of gyroscope. A gyroscope is a compass or guidance system usually used in ships and aircraft. It is used to detect the deviation of an object from its original orientation. In the words of Norman Vincent Peale (1898-1993), (a motivational speaker and author of Enthusiasm Makes the Difference, Power of Positive Thinking, Positive Imaging and You Can if You Think You ...

THE FORCE OF FAITH (PART THREE)

Image
Your tongue will end up repeating the thoughts you have entertained in your mind. You must therefore counter negative thoughts that are contrary to or rebelling against the Word in your life and rebelling against what you truly deserve. Do not allow negative thoughts to flow through your mind lest they cripple your faith and make it feeble. Listen to this: When our thinking becomes right, our believing will be right and our talking will be right. If you can control your thinking, you can control your talking and if you can control your talking, you can control your life. This is why James teaches that if a man can control his tongue, he can control his life. Remember that controlling your tongue begins by controlling your thoughts.

THE FORCE OF FAITH (PART TWO)

Image
It is important that you guard your mind against unrestrained thoughts of doubts because unrestrained thoughts leads inevitably to unrestrained words which inevitably leads to an unrestrained life manifested in the actions and events around you. Guard your heart with all diligence for out of it flows the issues of life. (Proverbs 4:23) As a man thinks in his heart so is he (Proverbs 23:7) To boost and bolster up your faith, uproot negative thoughts planted your mind. Instead of thinking lack and poverty or sickness for instance, think about what the word says concerning your health and prosperity like "By his stripes you have been healed" (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24) and "Generous hands are blessed hands because they give of their bread to the poor" (Proverbs 22:9). Your actions will always fall in line with your thoughts and the cause you proclaim determines your course in life.

THE FORCE OF FAITH (PART ONE)

Image
THE FORCE OF FAITH Faith is about calling those things that be not as if they were. Even the scriptures encourage us to call things that be not as if they were. (Romans 4:17) Death and life are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21) Before God could perform a miracle for Abraham, He had to change his name from Abram - which means "exalted father" to Abraham which means father of many nations. He did the same for Sarai by changing her name to "Sarah". You will better appreciate this when you consider that Sarah means princess. He did this so that Sarah who previously saw herself as an old woman could perceive as a young woman. You can see how God had to change the words they were hearing consistently in the present even though the manifestation was in future. If hope is the melody of the future, faith is your dance to it in the present. If you change the way you speak about your life, you can change your life. Your declarations must ch...

TWO INCREDIBLE WAYS TO DISCOVER YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE NOW

Image
TWO INCREDIBLE WAYS TO DISCOVER YOUR LIFE'S PURPOSE NOW Listen to this: If you are not satisfied with your work, if you are tired of the rat race and tired of just working for money alone with no satisfaction, then you have to do something about it real quick. You have to look within because that is God telling you that He created you for something more. Have you ever thought about the fact that Adam, the first man on Earth was given his work from his natural environment? Let me explain this. After God created man, He placed him in Eden. Now when God was going to find work for Adam, He did not place Adam in the sky, neither did He place Adam inside the waters to work. No, we read that Adam was placed in he garden to work. That means that Adam as placed in his natural environment. In the same way, your work is in your natural environment. When you do your findings, you will find that Eden - from the etymology of the word - actually means a place of pleasure. S...

LEARNED RESPONSES

Image
🎷📣📣 NEW INSPIRATIONAL WRITE UP; ✨✨🎊🎊🎊🎉🎉 TITLE: LEARNED RESPONSES ENJOY!!! In the year 1902, a Russian psychologist by the name, Ivan Petrovich Pavlov (who lived between 1849-1936) carried out an experiment with his dogs. Anytime he fed those dogs, he rang a bell. He thereafter observed that the dogs associated the ringing of the bell with the presence of food such that anytime the bell was rung, the dogs began to salivate in an excited manner because they could not wait to eat. One day, Pavlov decided to do something different. He stopped bringing foods to the dogs but he continued ringing the bell that used to come with the food. Now, the amazing thing was that the dogs were still salivating even after the bell was rung. Pavlov found out that salivation was already what he called a controlled response from the dogs and that salivation came from the ringing of the bell. Now, why am I narrating all this story and why is it important to us as human beings? I am narratin...

THE LITTLE THING THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE

Image
*THE LITTLE THING THAT MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE* Habits are those little things that make a big difference. Most of our daily activities are actually on auto-pilot mode. Scientists have actually confirmed that seventy percent (70%) of human activities are actually carried out based on auto-pilot mode. Then implication is that most of your activities are carried out without second thought. They are carried out at the flip of a switch and without much thought! This therefore shows just like positive habits can be carried out without much thought and they build your life. The opposite is also true; negative habits can be carried out quickly and they impede growth and progress. The implication of this is that to change your life, you have to begin by changing your attitude. Let me state this; Bad habits are easy to develop but difficult to live with. On the other hand, good habits are difficult to develop but easy to live with. That's so important and needs to be restated...

GET HIGH!!! BUT GET HIGH BY GOING LOW (PART TWO)

Image
Listen to this: Every mountain top vision must include the valley of service. I need to repeat that again: Every mountain top vision must include the valley of service. There are many other examples. One of them is Saul, the son of Kish who is of the tribe of Benjamin. The journey that brought Saul the son of Kish to his anointing as the first King of Israel was not a search for greatness. It was not a search for greatness. It was not even a search for kingship or dominion. He did not go in search of prophet Samuel to seek special prayers to made a king. It was in search of his father's lost donkeys. That right there is service. He moved from one dry land to another, with no money in his jar and probably no water in his jar just in search of the lost donkeys. That is service. Finally, another example is David. David was not seeking greatness when he went into battle with Goliath. He actually went into the battle arena to seek the welfare of his brothers and deliver some f...
