Last Sunday the 27th October 2013 was a healthy discussion with Richard Oluyinka on The Platform talk show on Fire Live Radio. The one thing I will share with you on the 2 hour discussion was that, Richie as affectionately called encouraged us to kiss our excuses goodbye and find that one reason that will cause us to jumpstart our dreams in life. He said, you can find a million excuses why it is not possible but to find that one reason why your dreams can be achievable can be a hardest decision for most of us.
He urged us to first discover who we are, then find your purpose in life and pursue that purpose. He reiterated that the journey of fulfilling your purpose can be full of challenges. However he urged us to learn to find exit routes, be patient in traffic and hope for the best.
The one question that I asked that I would like to share with you is, why do some people stay at a particular level for the rest of their lives? His answer was very simple but powerful, that is those people have lost their motivation. He therefore encouraged us to find reasons why your dream can be possible rather than finding excuses.
Finally he concluded by saying that, success is a journey but not a destination so jumpstarting your dream from one level to another is part of the journey but not a destination. Find your motivation today, find that one reason why you must pursue that dream and kiss your million excuses goodbye.
However next Sunday the 4th of November 2013 will be another powerful discussion with Paul Dayes who will discuss how he turned his life around to achieve his dreams in life. Watch out for more update on that.
The world we live in is now driven by technology. One of the technological advancement that have revolutionised our communication levels is phone. Phones in the 21st Century is one of man’s closest friend. Whenever I’m in the train or bus, I just take a moment to look around and all I can see are people just busy with their phones.
Today’s phone is like a computer. The wealth of information it holds and its functional capabilities is beyond expectation. Being in the information age means your phone needs to be on at all times so as to get access to information at any point in time. When you charge your phone, then it means you have access to all the information available on the phone including phone contacts, Apps, internet and all other information that your phone holds. Everyone who possess a phone have one motive, that is to keep it alive at all times. Therefore it is the duty of the owner of a phone to charge it at all times.
However there is always that time where your phone can run out of battery. This means you cannot make or receive calls or access any information on the phone. Therefore to resurrect your phone, you need to take the following actions;
You need to find your phone charger.
Find a source of electricity.
Plug the charger.
Finally switch your electricity on and your dead phone is resurrected.
Most of us have our dreams dead like that of a phone battery. It becomes very unfortunate when we make no attempt to resurrect our dreams in life. The fact is if your phone battery is dead and you refuse to recharge it, then it means you don’t value the importance attached to having a phone. Bear in mind the phone serves as a resource for achieving a particular objective in life. Therefore living your phone dead without recharging means that objective is of no importance to you.
Therefore making a decision not to resurrect your dreams in life suggest that you don’t value the destination that dream wants to take you to. However if you are serious about awakening your dead dreams, then you need to consider the following;
FIND YOUR PHONE CHARGER AND YOUR SOURCE OF ELECTRICITY
Your phone charger and your source of electricity are the resources you need to start your dream. Every dream needs some level of resources to make it a reality. Learn to gather your resources over time. It doesn’t matter how long your phone stays dead but having a focus of gathering your resources is the key to making your dream a reality. What matters most is having a powerful motive of finding a charger and a source of electricity. This substantiates a positive mentality created to meet the objective of awakening your dead dream.
PLUG YOUR CHARGER AND SWITCH YOUR ELECTRICITY ON
This is about taking action. There are three categories of people in terms of fulfilling our dreams in life. Those that have dreams but no resources and those that have dreams and have resources. Then we have the achievers. That is those that had a dream, used the available resources and finally took action in making their dream a reality. The only difference between the first two categories and the achievers is the decision of the achiever to take action. Taking action is the first step in fulfilling your dreams in life.
Furthermore liking the journey of fulfilling your dreams in life to that of charging your phone can be full of challenges. As you can have a faulty battery, electrical problems or power cut, so as your dreams. However remember that the challenges you face in fulfilling your dreams are just traffic on the road but not fatal accidents. Traffic are just delays but not a way to prevent you from getting to your destination of success. Remember traffic on the road never stays forever, they ease over time. Perseverance and persistence is your weapon to overcome the challenges you face in pursuit of fulfilling your dreams in life.
Therefore create a positive mindset of making your dream a reality, remember challenges are just traffic delaying you to your destination, perseverance and persistence is the key to overcoming your challenges. Focus on your dreams, be passionate about it, believe its possible and you will definitely get to your destination of fulfilling your dreams in life.
