B FOR BALCONY!

SUCCESS TABLETS IN ALPHABETIC ORDER.


Have you ever played or watched the game of chess? Things are not as clear to the player as they are to a spectator. When you are not playing the game, your perception differs from those who are playing. You can win the game easily from the terraces, and think the guy who loses is useless.

There is a concept taught at Lead Us Today, where i am a leadership facilitator. The Balcony concept. I would like to help you understand the power of perception in a way a balcony gives you a better view of things. It can be in your business, school work, love life or wherever. I want us to apply it in the real world, believe me you will begin to see the challenges and mistakes that have been hindering your progress. To live a better life or improve your business, you must be able to see patterns as if you were on a balcony. What you see from the top is what you apply on the field. Its like a diagnostic machine, it helps you identify a problem.

In a game of soccer! Players might not recognize the larger patterns of play that a coach or fan would easily identify. The players may become so engaged in the game such that they get carried away. Their attention is captured by the rapid motion, physical contact, and the pressure to win. All this pressure makes the players lose focus. They may not see who is open to pass, who is missing the block, or how the offence and defence work together.

What does that have to do with your dream? You may ask.

It means that in life, you may become so focused on just attaining your goal such that you ignore the necessary people. The pressure to score good grades will cause you to turn a blind eye to some good direction. Your mind becomes clouded with a lot of pressure. You do not know who to consult or what area to study to get to your desired profession. The pressure of life can cause you to shut your ears to some good advice, your perception becomes your own deception. You will judge according to appearances. You say to yourself, "This mountain is too high, its not possible, i will never succeed in business, i am just not good enough." Your talk becomes negative, all you see around you is defeat and failure.

Take some time to clear your mind, relax and leave those tasks for a moment. Where did you go wrong, who can help you solve that problem. Begin to identify people who can help you score, stop giving the ball to the keeper, you need a striker to score a goal. You cannot do it on your own. You will never appreciate the beauty of this world until you view it from the top. "Missionaries thought the world was flat until they sailed the oceans and discovered continents". Until you start passing the ball to the right people, then you begin to score. Get on the balcony today, i know you will see things differently this time. Change your perception today and live a better life tomorrow.

Thank you once again for visiting this page, i hope you have been challenged to embrace the power of perception using the balcony theory. Get on the balcony.
 
 
 

SUCCESS TABLETS IN ALPHABETIC ORDER!!!



A For Action

"Action is the foundational key to all success" Pablo Picasso

No one can achieve something out of nothing! The secret to achieving all your goals lies taking action. At this very moment or any given day, you have three choices set before you:

* Give up
* Procrastinate
* Take action

I you give up, forget about living a good life. If you choose to procrastinate, pushing your goals for a later date, you do not value your dream at all. If you are to take the third choice, congrats you are on your way to the 5% minority who make it in life. Its time to stop talking and start walking. You must take action.

Action is a principle that works for people who take the first step; if you do not take the first step, kiss success goodbye. Success does not belong to the elite minority; it belongs to people who decide to take action. It is not a possession of an influential group of people, but it is a tenure of them that quit talk and day-dreaming but begin the walk.

If today you commit to follow this principle of ACTION, you will shatter the shackles which appear to be holding you captive. When you decide and make a choice of achieving your goals, you will feel the urge to take action. It is the only way you will achieve your goals, it works as a springboard. If you are not taking any action, the path to success will just be an illusion.

There is a direct correlation between the degree of action you take and your success. There is no way you can make progress without an incredible amount of action. You cannot sit and wait expecting a big break by doing nothing.; get up, take action and make your own break.

Successful people take action every single day of their lives, every act takes them closer to their goals. Waking up early to do an exercise in the park is an act! Doing it once will not give you the desired result, but doing the same act every single day will give you the break.

Thank you for reading, i trust that you will now stop talking and start walking.Watch Out for the B tomorrow. Clarence T

BLAME YOURSELF

If today you find yourself putting the blame on someone for your failures, think again. This universe we live in operates inside out. What you see outside is what is on the inside. The roots produce their own kind of fruit. The me you see today. Is the me you thought yesterday, its still the me you will see tomorrow. Man is not a creature of circumstances, circumstances are the creatures of men. To change what you see today, change the way you think.

PAIN PAYS

One of the leading reasons why people quit time and again is their unwillingness to embrace the pain of doing things that will change their lives for the better. You know you are not living the life you want, you know what to do in order to change that but you just avoid the pain. If you are really going to overhaul your situation, you got to embrace the pain that comes to you.

There is a saying, "Pain is weakness leaving the body". This means to say that no matter how much pain you are feeling right now! Waking up around 2am to study you mathematics, going to the gym, trying as much to get that tender. Doing these things may only be painful for a few days or months but you will eventually emerge stronger after that. Do not be discouraged when things get tough. Rather be tough when the going gets rough. Push yourself to accept what is coming instead, you will grow from it and become better.

Waking up to study Maths, will pay off by giving you a straight "A" in the subject. Going to the gym for just one day will not make you lose 10pounds and keep you in great shape, but going to the gym everyday and facing the pain will. What are you afraid of? Go out there and do it. If you do not get tough on yourself, life will not spare you from the worst.

Your Mind is a Mine of Great Ideas.

Our minds have a great deal of power; they have an incredible ability to take us places, places we have never set foot. Our minds are like a garden! We can plant and cultivate what we want them to produce, be it positive or negative. Deep in our minds are some precious minerals called ideas! These minerals can change our lives and that of a nation, only if we extract and use them purposefully.
Scholars have it that an average person uses about 10% of their human mind, which means 90% is not being utilized. Imagine what we could do if we used the full capacity of our minds? Surely we would turn the world upside down. The newspapers and magazines we read are an idea that was put to use. For us to receive beautiful and inspiring messages, somebody extracted and purified their mineral [idea] which produced a device that enables us to connect with our friends and loved ones across the globe. Mark Zuckerberg also came up with facebook. Thomas Edison, the light bulb. The Wright brothers used their idea to prove that humans could also fly. Today you and I can enjoy the comfort of an airplane as we fly across the oceans to other continents. We all experience these things because some people used their minds.
The successful people we watch on television, read about in newspaper and have no choice but to listen when they speak on radio. They got to where they are because they discovered and understood the power of this precious mineral found in the human mind and used it.
You can choose to invest in this mineral today. It is said that formal education will make you a living but self education will make you a fortune. Before any individual invests millions if not billions of dollars to a certain company, they first have to invest and digest millions and billions of strategies in the minds. They work on their ideas! Spending at least 30 minutes a day on a subject that is related to your idea will give you some amazing results. Walk and talk with likeminded people too. In the next four to five years if you work hard and take your work seriously, you will be at the top. One day when you have made a name for yourself, I will be glad you never took your ideas lightly.
Would you rather be counted as one of the many individuals who died with their unborn companies or be among the game changers, people who will shake nations right to the core? You have it in you, you can make a difference. All it takes is you believing that your idea is a precious mineral. The sky has never been the limit; we are the ones who limit ourselves. Let me meet you tomorrow and shake your hand after you come up with a new invention. Your mind is a mine of great ideas.
