05/08/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #15 Shifting Desires to the Goodness of All.

“To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayals of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden patch, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you lived. This is to have succeeded”.

When you see success as impersonal, as a way to bring more goodness and light into the lives of others, success becomes much easier to achieve. For example, if you want to get a very expensive laptop to faster create value-packed YouTube videos or informative EBooks and tutorials, it’s a totally different intention than wanting to get a pricey laptop to look better in the eyes of your friends. Find the right reasons why you need to be successful.

Success can very much inflate the ego, but some people become much more human and bring immense goodness into the world when they achieve more success. I hope that the more successful you become, the more light you will bring into the world, as the world now is filled with suffering, and it cries out for hope and inspiration.

Our nation and society needs more good than harm, it needs more people who are successful at the right things and it is looking up to us with the hope that maybe, just maybe, we will make it better with our successes.

Be that hope; be the best you can be. Because if you are, your presence alone can lift someone up from deep depression and make them understand that they, too, can become successful. People seek role models who they can draw experience and guidance from, your success will give them exactly what they want. Do not also forget that the destinies of the next generation is tied to our successes. 

“I believe negative thinking is like having measles of the mind. Instead of itching, you get bitching; instead of scratching, you get bashing; instead of irritation, you get frustration. Now, do you really want to be close to people like that?” ~ Harv Eker.

It’s your duty to become successful. Don’t see it as personal. See it as something that will help the world. Such a way of looking at this goal will make it easier to achieve.

“I alone cannot change the  world but I can cast a stone across the water to create many ripples” ~ Mother Theresa.

Have a great Tuesday.

I honour you.

03/08/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #13. Never Giving Up!

“When you are at the end of your rope, tie a knot and hold on” ~ Theodore Rosevelt.

It’s a beautiful Sunday morning and a great one as well and we are still on the series of success habits you need to develop. Of all that we have looked at thus far, one of the most important is never giving up. When you throw in the towel, it’s over, nothing can be done, no other habit can hold.

In all that you do and in all that happens along the way, be it failure, setbacks, disappointments or even betrayals, do not let go of your dreams, not even for the best excuse.

Let difficulties toughen you up and polish you. They’re forming you into the person who will be ready to meet success when it comes.

“Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be” ~ Jack Welch.

People who avoid difficulties at all costs are weak. They think that by avoiding difficulties they somehow outsmart life. Life, however, gives them exactly what they deserve –“mediocrity”, because there’s no way to get anything for free in this life.

Henry David Theresa once said “The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it”. Never assume that you will get it free, like they say “Even in Freetown, nothing is free”.

There are certain laws that govern our lives, and you can’t outsmart them. The smartest thing to do is to understand and work with them. One of them, as it’s probably obvious by now, is persevering no matter what life throws at you, as it’s a price you have to pay for success.

“Take control of your destiny. Believe in yourself. Ignore those who try to discourage you. Avoid negative sources, people, places, things and habits. Don’t give up and don’t give in” ~ Wanda Hope Carter.

Have a wonderful Sunday celebration and thanksgiving. 

In the place of praise,your life will be raised.

I honour you.

04/08/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #14. Following Your Conscience!

The ability to choose is one of the greatest gift God has given to everyman, it is left for us to use that gift at our discretion. And that is why the right to life is one of the fundamental human right in every normal society.

This gift makes everyone of us different because we all need different things at different times and we make choices and draw conclusions based on our needs. 

The same applies to the pursuit of success in your group, project, business, academics, dreams and family. Just as much as you get advices from different professionals and individuals on what you need to do to achieve success in different aspects of your life, it’s still your choice to decide what is right for you and your goal.

This is because it is only you that understands better why you set out to pursue that goal in the first place.

In the same vein, only you know what’s best for you. Following experts’ advice is dangerous if your inner expert is not counseled with.

Someone once mentioned that one of Nigeria’s most respected speakers who was teaching on marriage said ‘God never planned to create a woman, she is an afterthought hence she must see her husband as her master’ it was so disheartening when he went further to make statements like ‘You must never argue or disagree with your husband in all things as that would amount to rebellion before God’.

The shocking part was that the thousands of people who gathered at the meeting laugh out their life and listened as if it was God speaking. A simple question any right thinking person should have asked him was ‘What is the state of your marriage sir’?

Be careful who you listen to because many individuals make a doctrine out of their errors and you must not fall for such lie.

Always check if advice and guides resonates with your inner self before acting on it, so that you’re walking the right road to success and not the one that someone else defined for you.

Have a productive week ahead.

I honour you.

02/08/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #12. Being Your Own Cheerleader!

Like everything in life, it’s not what happens to you but how you respond to it that counts ~ Steve Backley.

In your everyday pursuit of success and determination to catching your dreams, there would be times when you would make certain mistakes and you would know you actually have made a mistake, maybe early enough or sometimes later. Whichever, the way you go about punishing yourself for your mistakes matters a lot.

Do you get angry or disappointed with yourself when you make a mistake? That’s an attitude that keeps you small. It helps in creating a failure mentality in your head when you spend a lot of time blaming yourself for your mistakes.

Only when you’re easy on yourself and encourage yourself, can you start respecting yourself. Self-respect is important, because it allows you to get more joy and abundance out of life. If you keep yourself small, on the other hand, you will deny yourself a higher level of life.

Being happy with yourself all the time even when you’ve identified your mistakes gives you the strength and confidence to go out and do better than the previous day.

Steve Maraboli once said “Happiness is not the absence of problem, it’s the ability to deal with them”.

One of the things I tell myself in such situations is “I didn’t hit it 100% yesterday but I gave it my best, let’s have a go at it today again”.

Be sure to get better.

Have a fun filled weekend.

I honour you.

01/08/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #11.Being Ready for Success!

"We must not be afraid of dreaming the seemingly impossible if we want the seemingly impossible to become a reality" ~ Vaclav Havel

Everybody wants success but few are ready to receive it. Success doesn’t enter your life until you’re ready for it. You need to consistently remind your unconscious mind where you dream to be even when you have not gotten there. 

Someone once said "dress to look the position or achievement you dream of not the one you already have". By so doing you attract that dream. 

It’s easy to find out if you’re ready for it or not. This is how: 

Close your eyes and visualize as realistically as you can living your ideal life. See it happening now and here. Really try to get the feeling that you’re living your perfect life. 

What kind of feelings arose during the vision? Any feeling of being uncomfortable or feeling awkward, like that you’re not supposed to be there, it's a sign that you’re not ready. If that’s the case, investigate why. Maybe you need more self confidence or more knowledge.

Feeling like at home, relieved or happy, on the other hand, is a sign that you’re ready for success.

If you didn't get the feeling of being ready, do not worry too much, all it means is that you need to put in more dedication to pursuing your dreams. 

Always remember to do this:

Don't start your day with the broken pieces to yesterday, everyday is a fresh start. Everyday is a new beginning. Every morning we wake up is the first day of our new life. Make use of that new energy and determination to pursue your dreams. 

Happy New Month, Welcome to August 2014. 

I honour you.

31/07/2014 ~ #NicholasA ~ 15 Success Habits You Need To Develop. #10. Focusing on Success.

Someone once said “Every great story on the planet happened when someone  in the past decided not to give up, but kept going no matter what”.

One of the wisest thing every success minded individual need to always do is to learn from those who have been there before i.e. learning from history.

 In the years gone by and even presently there are individuals that have succeeded in that field or project you wish to succeed in. It’s a good thing to learn how they did, why they failed in the areas they did, what made them stand out when others didn’t, and how they sustained success.  

Every high achiever always have someone highly successful they look up to, be it a living person, a legend in ancient stories or some high achiever of the past. Reading books written by people who were giants in their field of work is like absorbing their essence, having a feel of what they did. The more you think about and learn from their takes on life, the more alike you become.

There are so many things to learn from those who have made it in the past and even those who failed. Their successes tells you what you can do to get there while their failures tells you what you need to avoid if you want to get there. 

On a lighter note someone once said "nobody is useless in life, if they are good, they are used as good examples, and if they are bad, they are used as bad examples". And that is quite true. 

Going down history, there are some legends who you will never want to be like and there are also those whose shoe you will be glad to walk in. 

So go read up on the people you admire whether living or legend, cos' reading the biographies, works and reviews of successful people attracts success. 

Have a great day. 

I honour you.
