RE: First quarter Achievements?

What do you hope to have achieved by the first quarter of 2018?

It seems like yesterday that we crossed over into 2018. I there say that we have spent over 50 days already in the year 2018 and it is time to begin to think clearly about what we intend to have achieved by the first quarter of 2018?

The truth is that many of us have written down what we want to achieve in 2018 as a list of things to achieve but not too many have written down in very specific terms what we want to see happen by the end of first quarter 2018.

If we do not know what to have achieved by the first quarter then how do we measure our level of achievements in the course of this New Year?

This is the best time to put pen to paper and write out in clear terms what we want to see achieved before the end of the first quarter 2018. We must tackle this by realizing that our lives are made up of different areas including spiritual physical, mental, social, financial, material, and physiological?  This work requires more focus, more energy and more concentration to get it done.

We need to determine in all these areas what we want to achieve in every quarter of this New Year, 2018.  Let us no longer procrastinate and just get straight to work by writing out in each of these areas and facets of our lives what and what we want to achieve in all the different quarters of 2018 knowing fully well that there are four quarters in every year and we are almost ending the first quarter.

When we know clearly what we want to get accomplished for every quarter then we can work judiciously at achieving specific goals for every month and in extension for every quarter knowing fully well that 3 months of the year makes a quarter and there are 4 quarters in every full year.

It is also clear that we do need an accountability partner to help us monitor how we are doing in the course of the year especially if we are working for ourselves and thereby not directly reporting to anyone.

Please if you know that you are yet to put pen to paper on this exercise then do not procrastinate any longer but get right to work on tackling this exercise. You will use your list of to accomplish for the entire year to allocate what you want to achieve per month and therefore per quarter. 

When you are done with this exercise send your exercise sheet to your accountability partner so that he or she can help you monitor how you are faring in the course of the year so that you are not left without proper monitoring.

As they say better late than never. Let us not leave undone what we need to have done. Let us choose to live a different style of life this year and let us not allow the new year to slide into months of mundane and non-achievement because we could not discipline ourselves on this simple task and exercise.

See you at the topmost top of life by the end of 2018. I am dedicated to paying the price for greatness today and not just tomorrow. Procrastination is the thief of greatness. Let it not happen to you.

RE: CHOOSE TO DO GREAT THINGS THIS WEEK!

CHOOSE TO DO GREAT THINGS THIS WEEK.

Life is too short to waste by doing just the mundane. What have you planned for this new week ahead of you? Do you have plans to do great things some that you have never ever done before? Or is the week just going to ordinary, unexciting and mundane?

The power of choice is in your hands. Make this week count by designing for yourself the most amazing, the most beautiful and the most perfect week possible.   

You might ask how does one plan for an exceptionally beautiful week. Well the answer is simple. Your plans for an exceptionally blessed and fabulous week must start with having a great expectation of the week and then prayerfully planning for it. What kind of week do you expect in this new week even if it seems your plans and expectations are bogus and ridiculous by every standard.

Well this is why it is a plan. This is why it an expectation, a hope and a dream. Who knows whether providence will choose to smile upon our plans this week and subsequent weeks of our lives.

Praying is important, powerful and necessary because without prayers our plans have no power and lack the needed fire to happen.   When we pray we are committing God Almighty to come to our aid and God knows that we do need all the help that we can get.

I always plan my week ahead and I imagine the week to the best of my power and ability and envision it in the place of prayers to my Creator, Maker and God.

In this new week ahead of us let us choose to do great things in God and for God and for ourselves. Let us purposefully plan to do great things. Decide what you consider to be a great thing to do in your life and plan on how you intend to carry out this plan.

Decide 5 great things that you want to do in the course of the new week and pray about them for God Almighty to help you to accomplish this goal. My idea of what I might consider to be a great thing might be different from what you consider to be a great thing but let your great thing be really great and then work to make it happen.

I must not forget that we are about to enter the love week or love day in a couple of days from now. Well do not wait to be loved find someone to love. Love is not limited to a spouse or a boyfriend. Love your enemies. Love your parents and your siblings. Love your nation. Let your love be rich, deep and wide.  Do not just be fixated about loving a man or a woman. Love God and love His kingdom.

Remember to do 5 great things in the course of this new week. See you at the topmost top shortly.

RE: DREAM BIG!

Dream Big!

Life is too short to live it small, insignificantly and unexcitingly. Life is just too short for that. We all need to be very intentional about our lives. We need to think greater thoughts, and do greater things in life.

There is no greater time than now to plan to do the seemingly impossible because for him or her that chooses to believe nothing is too difficult to be thought about and to be done. Simply said impossible is nothing!

As I said in one of my quotes if you can think it then you can pray it, and if you can pray it then you can achieve it! We have to allow ourselves to dream bigger dreams and these dreams come first from our thoughts before they become what we dream about, talk about and eventually achieve in our lives.

It is important that we keep a journal of our hopes, dreams, goals and aspirations. We can call it the goals book. In this book we should write out all our deepest and wildest dreams because they have the potential of coming to pass especially if we are prayerful and powerful in our habits and our doings.

Aside from thinking it, dreaming it we must also talk it to the right people who have the influence to impact our lives positively and powerful to take action. The last thing that we must do is to act out our dreams. We must take out time to make our dreams our realities by daily working at our goals, hopes and aspirations.

The truth is that providence has a way of backing us up and helping us achieve our written down dreams, goals and aspirations. I read in one of Pastor Joel Osteen’s book of the story of one of his congregation members who was a regular business man who dreamt of owning his own private airplane. 

He believed in the dream. He took steps to make it happen by placing the photograph of an airplane on his desk and after some years passed he was able to afford to buy an airplane at a price that was not just ridiculous but laughable. God Almighty saw his heart, loved his power of faith and decided to help him actualize that dream in his heart.

It is time to dream big, talk big, act big and live big.   Life is too short to remain small, insignificant and unknown!   Make your dreams come alive!
