YOUR FUTURE SUCCESS DEPENDS MOSTLY ON THIS! CHECK IT OUT

Were we born to live a purpose-achieving life? I truly believe so! We are all entitled to vanquish all our current temporary challenges that are prevailing and derailing our path to success. But has this really been the case? In my perspective, one of the critical things we need to note is that for us to achieve our best, the decision has to come within us.

Our dreams have to be practically achievable .We ought to come up with a well stipulated strategy on how to make them realistic within a particular span of time. Constant focus is what will keep us moving. Just like a ship focuses on how it is going to reach the shore by the captain consistently checking on the compass direction, so should be our focus.

I have always believed that for us to achieve our level best; the zenith or culmination of our achievement, we should be doing what we actually love best. This is because our passion and zeal will drive us to contribute and channel all our rejuvenated energy towards making the best performance.

Apparently, quite a large number of people are in jobs and occupations that they actually don’t feel any sort of happiness while undertaking different tasks. This has been an inhibition on their path to success.Actually, a certain research showed that almost 80% are dissatisfied with their jobs but they are still doing it.

They have become constantly stagnant. Some even cannot break outside that “yoke” that has entangled them thus they have sort to pursue their success under the confines of such “walls”. This has actually made many people not to achieve what they are destined for.

When it comes to starting business, you have to be so crucial on whether the business would ultimately make you achieve what you deserve to. Apparently, according to research, you will realize that quite a huge number of entrepreneurial businesses collapse in the first five years after their incorporation.

This is because some people find themselves doing business without considering their interests; they actually get tired on the way and quit! Also, I suppose it is mostly contributed to poor strategy and lack of consistent passion to maintain the business. I do believe that something that you love doing, it would be worth fighting for; you will dedicate your commitment and hardwork to ensure that it stands in the long run.

Therefore, once you resolve to do what you love most in terms of either your professional career or entrepreneurship, this will be a starting point to your success journey. Choose to live a positive life by making the right life choices with better future consequences!

WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT POPE FRANCIS AS HE PLANS TO VISIT KENYA

One of the great leaders the world has witnessed is actually Pope Francis. This is due to his outstanding leadership qualities that have been demonstrated in the Roman Catholic Church. Since coming to power in 2013, Pope Francis has been spearheading immense reforms that have undoubtedly made him to be recognized as an exceptional leader. He has come out clearly to champion for proper consideration of the less fortunate in the society by encouraging people and countries to come out willingly and contribute in charitable functions.

  His utmost simplicity made him come out distinctively as a leader who is ready to fully serve people. Actually, during the time he was being inaugurated to take charge of the office, he came out wearing a simple papal vestment without even putting the red shoulder cover which was contrary to his predecessors. Actually, you will be surprised that he chose to live in just a one-bedroom apartment rather than having a high stylish lifestyle.

The Pope, who actually received his name from a saint that had committed his life in serving the poor, has been on the forefront to ensure that there have been continuous amendments in relation to financial situation in the world. One of the key factors he has stressed on is for countries to try and curb the rate of corruption that is prevalent in many institutions and also to reduce the rate of extreme poverty that looms especially in the developing countries. He further states that “A little mercy makes the world less cold and just”.

As popularity of Pope Francis continues to rise, and so is his achievement. Actually from a research about nine out of ten Americans approves his leadership and above 60% of people in the world are impressed with his performance as the Catholic leader. Some of the major issues he has been able to bring about have touched on homosexuality, divorce and economic reforms for the church at large.

As the Pope is imminently planning to visit Kenya, Uganda and Central Africa Republic in November, there is hope for the faith leaders and people during his visit. For the Central African Republic, they hope that he will foster restoration of peace to the country. In his historic three-day visit to Kenya this year (from November 25^th-27^th), we highly anticipate that this will bring transformation in the Kenyan Catholic Church and a message of hope and unity to all the church denominations.

As I conclude, one interesting quote from Pope Francis states that “Each one of us has a vision of good and of evil. We have to encourage people to move for what they think is good.. Everyone has his own idea of good and of evil and must choose to follow the good and fight evil as he conceives them. That would be enough to make the world a better place.”

ARE YOU A LEADER? IT'S A MUST YOU HAVE THIS QUALITY!

Sometimes when I envision the kind of leadership that is explicitly displayed in our contemporary society, I feel that in some instance we are deprived of the exceptional qualities expected from them. Actually, this has been a prevalent case especially in the political arena where quite a number give ‘empty’ promises once they are vying for the imminent posts, only to become oblivious once voted in and even dissociate themselves from those who acted as “stepping stones” for them to be in their current or intermediate positions.

 From my own understanding and in-depth insight, a leader is a person who is ready to serve willingly and diligently his or her followers and distinctively provide an exemplary leadership that can be emulated. A leader is someone who is ready to associate with the followers, listen to their demands and come up with effective, concrete decisions that can help solve any arising issue in a satisfactory way.

One outstanding leader of all times was Mahatma Gandhi from India. He was indeed a transformational and a futuristic leader. Through his charismatic nature, he used his position as a leader to inspire and motivate his followers thus making them become part of his vision of bringing change and transformation in the country.

Interestingly, this incredibly amazing leader absolutely led by example by even lowering his status to that of many Indians who were living in abject poverty. This made it easier to understand their feelings and boost their relationship and in the process they felt the inner drive to tirelessly struggle to make their country a better place. Mahatma Gandhi instilled a strong interconnected bond between him and other Indians making them trust in themselves and change their perspectives to a positive one and in unison this was a huge step towards achieving their long yearning freedom.

Leaders who are ambitious in nature with a strong clear vision actually depict a symbol of hope, motivation and inspiration to their followers. As a leader come out full of self confidence and express their ideas with utmost brevity, and demonstrating extraordinary characters, this actually makes his or her followers see a bright future that is bestowed for them.

 This is the kind of leadership that is required, a leadership that will be an embodiment to many. Are you such kind of leader? This should be a self-reflection for you!

Actually, by the age of 16 after her mother had died of AIDS and her father had left her, she had no choice but to find solace on the streets. Surviving in such extreme unfavorable condition by occasionally stealing food, what is encouraging is that she had this ardent passion and zeal to accomplish in life. This made her to commit herself in seeking knowledge from the books and encyclopedias she could find dropped in the public litter bins.

Her unquenchable resilience, commitment and determination to ultimately achieve in life were her driving force. Her efforts yielded fruits when she got the precious opportunity to join the Ivy League.

WHY TIME IS A CRITICAL FACTOR TO YOUR SUCCESS

Apparently, I have discovered that each one of us has got this burning zeal and eagerness for success within us that keeps on creates a continuous upsurge for us to follow that path. I was even amazed to hear that even a lazy person yearns for a good life which is contrary to the presumed expectations. When time is guarded with utmost commitment, it positively transform to the expected yield that had been systematically planned for.

I have always believed that those who are successful, have always committed themselves to their goals, dreams and putting into consideration the time factor. In the book “Top 200 Secrets of Success and The Pillars of Self Mastery”, Robbin Sharma states that when you become a high disciplined time manager through maximizing on the 168 hours we have in a week, you will discover that you have plenty of time to achieve what you actually yearn to accomplish.

He further outlines “Be ruthless with your time. Set aside a few minutes each morning to plan your day. Plan around your priorities and focus on not only those tasks which are immediate but not important (i.e., many telephone calls) but especially on those which are important but not urgent, for these allow for the greatest personal and professional development.”  It is stark truth that if something is worth doing, then, it is worth planning.

What you actually do with your time matters most and that is what will determine what you will ultimately achieve. You should avoid the great impediment of procrastination that has hindered many from grabbing the current opportunity with the hope that other better opportunities will emerge in the future.

Actually time is infinite and each moment it continues tickling. Once you are able to master and plan your time effectively, then you are on the right path to achieving maximally what you want to. Actually, a couple of seconds utilized can make a difference.

Always keep in mind that time is more valuable than money and it is either you take control of your day or it will be the reciprocal way!
