Did you know that every time you thought you were multitasking, you were actually switch tasking!!!

Hello Fam ;

It's been officially 3 weeks since I last wrote a post on this blog. I missed y'all so much but I had some deadlines to meet. I know some of you thought I had withered by the way side or lost my passion but hey it was none of that.

 I had gotten busy with a project that had a deadline  and i really couldn't add any other thing to my already tight schedule so something had to give way.  As sad as it was to give up my blog for 3 weeks, it was a great opportunity to refresh my mind and return stronger and better.  

I had initially tried to combine the new project in addition to my 3 hours of daily driving back and forth, taking care of my family, work and a few other extras but i knew i had very limited time to think which would result to a poor post. Rather than give my half best to the task of blogging, i decided to switch task and focus all my energy one project at a time. This experience brings me to the crux of my post today.

Multitasking!!!

A lot of people think that multitasking is a great skill to have and we have often defined it as the ability of doing more than one thing at a particular time.   According to the Webster dictionary, multitasking is defined as the concurrent performance of several jobs by a computer.

My question to you is this, are you really doing more than one thing at a particular time or are you switching between task over a period of time?

Are you also getting the job done in the best possible way by doing more than one thing at a time?

Would it have taken you a shorter period of time if you prioritized your to do list and treated the items one at a time?

Research shows that the brain doesn't really do task simultaneously as we all think. Most of the time, all we do is switch between task quickly. Every time  you move from playing music, writing a text or talking to someone, the brain stops and starts the process. This process actually cost more time. It is more expensive to do more than one time at a particular time. Imagine me thinking about this post, typing it on a computer and talking over the phone  whilst feeding a baby all at the same time?

Multitasking creates room for mistakes and un-necessary error.

So next time you think you are multitasking, stop and be aware that you are only switch tasking and figure out how to do one thing at a time if you want to be more efficient and effective. you could actually save more time and become a better individual if you learn how to commit to one thing at a time.

hope my 2 cents makes a difference in your life.  Thank you for taking out time to visit my blog. 

I am so glad to be back.

Happy August to y'all. From your one and only askadey_

What the average person doesn't know about wealth

A question i received last night from one of my readers inspired me to write this post. The young man asked me how to make wealth and said he receives very low income and he thinks that if he saves from today till the end of his life time, he will still be poor and he just wanted to know if there were other ways to make wealth.

Yes there are other ways to make wealth besides saving, although saving is a very important skill. The problem with this gentleman's situation is his income. He makes very little so he can't really save much or better put, his savings may not really make him wealth.

My first advice would be to increase your income and the easiest way to do that is to increase your skillset. The more skills you have, the more money you can make. Make sure the skills are relevant to todays world.

More importantly, what we must all understand is that wealth is usually disguised as a problem. Most of the guys who are wealthy are the ones who saw the prosperity behind the problem and made an effort.

You must understand that behind every problem is prosperity. Look for problems around you and pick the one you are most competent to solve. The better you are able to solve a particular problem, the more successful you would become.

There are problems everywhere, you just have to find the one that speaks to you.

Wealth is the reward you get in exchange for solving a problem.  it does not matter your location, problems exist everywhere.

Take your time and do your research after you figure out what problem you want to solve.

Lastly go for it. You must have the courage to move your idea from the planning stage to the execution stage. That is when the money is.

You will make mistakes but those mistakes will make you better at solving that particular problem.

I wish you all the best my friend as you pursue wealth.

Happy Friday

Do you know you are wealthy?

What is Wealth?

Wealth is an abundance of valuable possessions.

While Wealth has always been mainly attributed to money and material possession, most of us are wealthy in one way or the other. You just have to figure out what valuable possession you have and how you can translate that to money.

For a lot of people that do not have a lot of money or material possession, Time is something they have. The problem with these group of people is what they do with it.  I am sure you have often heard that time is money, a much valuable possession that you can never get back when lost.

If you fall into this category, all you have to do is go look for someone with too many things to do but have no time and trade some of yours in exchange for money.  In simpler terms, go find work. Find a job that will pay you for your time.

In Texas for example,  the minimum wage a worker gets is $7.25 an hour.  so all a worker has to do is figure out how many hours he/she wants to work a day or a week and that translates to how much can be made within that time frame. If you decide to earn higher than minimum wage, then you have to get certain skills and look for people willing to pay you a certain amount for the skillset. For example, the average pay an IT consultant gets in Texas is $50 an hour, some get more. So if you want to earn higher, all you have to do is get skills in certain fields that have opportunities to earn higher.

Also, you could start a business if you have time on your hands. But before you do, get the necessary skills needed for the business and start small.  Search within you for the skillset that can be translated to money and horn those skills.

Search your day to day activities and find those things you do that waste your time. Delete or replace them with activities that can bring you more wealth.

Remember that for every hour wasted is a minimum of $7.25 gone.

You are already wealthy. You just need to figure it out.

Hope this post gets you to start thinking and viewing your time as money because that is basically what is is.

Everyone has the same 24hours in the day so you have the same chances as everyone else to make the best use of it.

Happy Thursday

Lots of love

From the table of Ask Adey

what type of person are you?

Have you ever had a business plan that never moved from the idea stage to the execution stage? A Plan that the only thing that stopped you from moving further was your fear of the unknown and procrastination?

Have you ever desired to get something but only made it far to wish land and never made out a plan on how to achieve it?

Have you ever thought of a business idea for so long that when you were just about to start, you saw someone else executing that same business plan? You could have sworn they store your idea but the sad part is you guys don't even know each other. Still you gave up.

Have you ever desired a better life but made no effort in doing the work required and later wondered how your peers are making it?

Have you ever had a friend or two whom you all grew up together and suddenly they are very successful due to their hard work and dedication yet you remained on the same spot and position?

Have you ever desired something so bad, that you did everything you could legally and ethically and today you are proud of yourself for a job well done?

Have you spent the most of your life wondering how people are achieving their dreams and goals and you took no step to work on yours?

Have you spent all your time watching and criticizing those making an effort to be a better version of themselves while you remained the worse version of yourself?

Are you among the few making good things happen for themselves and their community?

There are mainly 3 types of people in life.

Those who wonder what happened.

Those who watch things happen.

and Those who make things happen.

we all have a choice and you can decide what type of person you want to be.

If you fall under the category of the ones who wonder. Its about time you stop wondering and start doing.

The world is big enough enough for everyone of us to be successful in our various fields. Don't wonder how your childhood friend made it. Be that childhood individual who made it.

Don't watch good things happen to everyone around you. Make good things happen for you while celebrating those with good news.

Be that type of person who always made things happen with even the little that you have.

Everything you need to be great is inside of you.

There is always provision for the man with a vision.

All it takes is for you to have an idea and work that good idea into action.

Be that type of person that people can look up to and want to be like.

Be that role model, that example for the generation after you.

Be that type of person that you want your children to become.

Be you because greatness is inside of you.

Happy Mid Week

What type of brand are you?

Have you ever heard of Coca-Cola, Sprite, Facebook, Pepsi, Samsung, Apple, Google, Amazon, Instagram, Microsoft, Lexus, Mercedes Benz or Toyota? I bet you have and even if you haven't heard all those names, you must have heard a few of those names.

These names are not just names anymore, they have become household brands known worldwide by millions of people. These brands cut across national boundaries, cultures and barriers.

These names didn't just wake up one day and become popular. They worked their way up that ladder. There was a time these names never existed and there was also a time  no one knew what or who they were but now almost everyone in the world must have heard of these names one way or the other.

I know the names i listed are corporate brands but people are behind those brands and people made those brands what they are today and you too can leverage the power of branding, harness your potential and take charge of your life and business.

You don't have to be the richest man in the world or an artist or public speaker to have a personal brand. As long as you are human, you have an identity, you act in a certain way, you portray a certain image to the people around you and that my friend is a brand.

A brand is your identity. So do you have a name? Yes i think so then you must understand that you are a brand. The question is what type of brand are you?

You are not technically a product or a service but you are perceived in a similar way by people who come in contact with you. Hence the reason for personal branding.

When people meet you, what do they see or perceive?

What or who are you identified as?

Right now if people were to give you a feedback on your attitude and personality, What do you think their responses would be?

If at this point, you are not happy with who you have portrayed yourself to be, Stop everything you are doing and take a sheet of paper and list all the things you would like to start doing.

After that, paste it on the wall of your home, somewhere very visible to remind you of who you have decided to become and begin working towards everything on that list.

Have a clear vision and mission for your life and things you want to accomplish.

Set timelines that are reasonable and realistic

Understand that your brand cuts across your appearance, your behavior, your words, your actions, your associations and affiliations.

Your brand is a summary of you put together.

It doesn't matter if you were once perceived as a negative person, You can decide how you want to be perceived from today.

Remember that Today was the future sometime ago. You can start NOW. It is never too late to become a better you.

Lastly and very important in your personal branding goals, Learn to be loyal and kind to everyone around you. This will make you earn a good reputation and find favor.

Happy Monday People.

Lots of love

What skills do employers want the most in their employees?

Dear Adey,

Is it possible to write a post on the skills that are needed the most by employers?

Thank you

Desmond.

Hello Desmond

While every company is different and probably need different skillset in their employees at different points in time, some soft skills cut across all industries and once you can develop those soft skills in addition to the technical skills that you possess, you would probably be on top of your game.

Here are some skills that will help you definitely stay on top;

1. Ability and willingness to learn:

You need to possess the ability and willingness to learn new skills: Every employer wants that candidate with something extra. Currently i run two positions within the company i work for. I am the Human Resources and Marketing Manager. I was recruited for the HR position but due to my Marketing background and experiences, it was easy for me to crossover into the marketing department and today i manage both departments successfully due to the size of the company.

   2. Critical thinking and problem solving

Second you need to have critical thinking and problem solving skills. Every employer wants that employee who has the ability to think and come up with creative solutions that can cut costs and increase profit.  Remember that the goal of a business or an organization is to look for how to provide their goods and services to their target audience in the seamless and most cost effective way, thereby maximizing profit. So Desmond you have to always look for how to accomplish that within your position and you do not have to be a manager to do that. All you need is a leadership mindset.

   3.  Collaboration and Team work

Every Employer wants their employee to work well in a team. Team work makes the dream work.  One can go a thousand mile, while two can go 10,000 miles. You cannot be a lone ranger and expect to succeed within an organization. You have to help the team succeed. That team could be your department or your branch.

   4. Interpersonal and communication skills

Attitude is everything and communication is an important part of your job.  You have to learn how to communicate well with people and have a social relationship with your colleagues. Be friendly and courteous to everyone. Do not engage in office gossip. Communicate fluently with all personnel and work on your courage if you happen to be a shy person.

   5.  Ability to analyze and synthesize information.

As an employee, you need to be able to process information and data.  Employers use data for a lot of things. For example, with my industry, we need to process data to see how well we are positioned in front of our target audience and to see if we are sending the right information to them. A lot of employers are like mine, they need individuals who can help them use their data and information to make informed decisions. You can be that go to person within your department.

If you can work on these 5 skills, Trust me Desmond you will be unstoppable and will become the most desired.

I hope my 2cents will help you as you pursue your goal of becoming a better version of yourself.

Kudos to you.  I am super proud of you

Kind Regards

Adey,

Who are you?

Often times when the question “ Who are you?” is asked, it is usually followed by these types of responses. I am the CEO of ABC Company or I am daughter of the richest man in Mars.  Most of the responses you get are attributed to material possessions or accomplishments. While this is not entirely wrong, it creates a huge disparity between the haves and haves not. Individuals who don't possess anything simply accept the fact that they are nobody just because they don't even have a car to their name. 

Who you are as an individual is deeper than the material possessions you have within your reach. Who you are is deeply rooted in where you come from and whose you are.

A Lion only births a Lion and even though they start their life as a cub, it doesn’t change the fact that every characteristics of a Lion is in them.

·      Who you are is not your current situation.

·      Who you are is not the experiences you have been through

·      Who you truly are remains regardless of what you have and don’t have

If you are unsure about who you are, maybe a few of these scriptures from the bible can help you get a better understanding

·      You are complete in Him Who is the Head of all principality and power 

·      You are alive with Christ 

·      You are free from the law of sin and death

·      You are far from oppression, and fear does not come near you 

·      You are born of God, and the evil one does not touch you 

·      You are holy and without blame before Him in love 

·      You have the mind of Christ 

·      You have the peace of God that passes all understanding 

·      You have no lack for your God supplies all of your needs according to His riches 

·      You can do all things through Christ Jesus

·      You are God’s workmanship, created in Christ unto good works

·      You are a new creature in Christ

·      You are a spirit being alive to God

·      You are a believer, and the light of the Gospel shines in your mind

·      You are a doer of the Word and blessed in your actions

·      You are a joint-heir with Christ

·      You are more than a conqueror through Him Who loves me

·      You are an overcomer by the blood of the Lamb and the word of your testimony

·       You are an ambassador for Christ

·       You are a part of a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a purchased people

·       You are the righteousness of God in Jesus Christ

·       You are the temple of the Holy Spirit; I am not my own

·       You are the head and not the tail; You are above only and not beneath

·       You are the light of the world

·       You are forgiven of all your sins and washed in the Blood

·       You are delivered from the power of darkness and translated into God’s kingdom

·       You are redeemed from the curse of sin, sickness, and poverty

·       You are firmly rooted, built up, established in your faith and overflowing with gratitude.

·       You are called of God to be the voice of His praise

·       You are healed by the stripes of Jesus.

·       You are raised up with Christ and seated in heavenly places

·       You greatly loved by God

·       You are strengthened with all might according to His glorious power

I hope these scriptures give you a better understanding of who you are.

Don’t let the world define you based on their standards. You define yourself based on the standard of God.

Happy Thursday

Make your personal finance a top priority

There is no straight forward way to guarantee yourself a rich fortune but planning can be a huge factor. when you don't make a plan for something then you have indirectly made a plan to fail at that thing.

Making money can happen by chance but keeping money is a choice and it takes a disciplined and matured mind to do so.

Your personal finance should not be left to chance. It takes your ability to save, spend, pay off your debt, make a wide variety of investments and diversify. Personal finance is how you handle your money.

In order to make personal finance your priority, you need to think about it very seriously and have a plan.

The first step is to learn the habit of saving and delaying gratification. That is because saving helps you increase your money.

Many people say it could take a life time to save and most wealthy people did not make their fortune from savings.whilst this statement could be somewhat true, the entire truth is that every wealthy person knows how to save and has a plan for their personal finance. Wealth is not just making money one time, its your ability to consistently make and keep money.

One could win a million dollars over night and become a millionaire in an instant and be poor in another year or two. what you does with that money and your ability to multiply it makes all the difference and that is what personal finance is mostly all about.

In order to save, you need to have FREE Money from your income. Your expenses need to be less than your income and this is when managing your debt and getting rid of them become a crucial factor. It is very hard to save when you have debts all over the place. over 50% of Americans live from pay check to pay check and over 80% of Americans spend more than half of their income paying debts. Debt makes you a slave to your borrower and keeps you below average more than half of the time. It deprives you your freedom and peace of mind and it also deprives you the opportunity to amass more wealth most especially when this debts are personal ones like credit cards and car notes.

Here are a few action steps to take;

Get into a budget and keep track of your spending.

Make a conscious effort to pay off your debt starting with the smallest amount of card and stop charging more to those credit cards. It is off no use if you pay off only to spend more.

Delay gratification. Save and buy instead of buying now and paying more later

Take care of your personal finances today and be financially free

Have a blessed Wednesday'

How to be a valuable employee within your organization

Being a valuable employee is one of the greatest things you can do for yourself. It not only makes you secured within an organization, it also makes you employable anywhere. Employers are constantly looking to cut cost but never will they want to cut talent that can help them improve their bottom line.

It is not enough for you to have just technical competency. You need to have other skill sets that will distinguish you at all times.

It is very important to have technical competency because, without it, you would not even be able to do your job perfectly but above that, you also need to have at least 3 other competencies which are management, technological and leadership. These extra competencies are very vital to your success in any organization. They make you very valuable and make you almost indispensable.

You do not have to be a manager to possess management competency. Management is simply your ability to manage things and people which could range from time, resources to human capital. you could be a front line staff and still be a manager. you could be great at managing your time and the company resources in your care.

Second, you need to be technologically aware at all times. you need to know the latest trends regarding your job. Technology has become the new order of the day and companies that are not technologically aware are quick to fold so you can imagine an employee who is lagging behind in technology

Finally, you have to learn leadership. Everything rises and falls on leadership. Good leadership makes everything exceptional. It makes you stand out from the crowd.

Learn these skills today and you will begin to see dramatic value in yourself.

Have a wonderful Tuesday and remain great

Kind Regards

Attitude is Everything...

I received a call from a gentleman earlier today and he couldn't believe what had just happened to him. He is a consultant by profession and his type of work makes him come in contact with professionals from different parts of the world.  Earlier last week, he had received a very difficult case from another client and it was important for that case to be dealt with in an excellent and  timely manner.

Almost everyone on his team feared that case because it was a very demanding one  and it was one of such cases that could suddenly expose to management how detailed and experienced you are as a consultant. If you handled that case very well according to expectation, you could be exposed as a bright consultant with great potential, likewise if the client had terrible feedback, your career could be on line. so you can imagine how scared my friend was when he had no choice but to deal with such a client.

With little or not choice he emailed the client to request more information and he was shocked to get a very pleasant response from the client. The client responded in a familiar tone and it was like the client knew my friend. After a few minutes my friend looked at the signature of the client only to realize that this same client used to be a very good friend of his from way back. It was very shocking that this client that everyone feared was a close friend.

In less than a minute my friend also realized that  he had a disagreement with this client a while back and they were no longer on talking terms.  You can imagine how sad that story could have ended but the good news is that my friend and the client resolved their differences and i guess that was why my friend received a pleasant email from the client.

Imagine if they were no longer friends, How frustrating do you think the whole process could've been?

How does this story affect you, you may wonder?

This story affects everyone of us and it just goes to show how small this world is. It also goes to show how careful we must be as individuals.

You are  the same everywhere and it doesn't matter, if you are at work in the midst of your colleagues or at home with your friends.

Attitude is everything and a good attitude will always take you to places far greater than your talent can ever get you.

• Always be nice, forgive and let go.
• Stay positive at all times
• Treat people the same way you will like to get treated.
• Respect everyone and care for all mankind.
• It doesn't matter where you are today, You will not always be in that same position forever.
• Do good and say good things 
• Keep the right attitude always regardless of any situation you find yourself.

Have a blessed day

Kind Regards

Adey,

Just before you complain, Read!!!

Life can be so unfair to a lot of people and that is the point when you ought to realize how lucky you are to be exactly where you are.  You might not have everything you desire but i bet you will not want to trade where you are for something worse.

How do you compare to someone who was born blind?
How do you compare to someone who is crippled and on a wheel chair?
How do you compare to someone who has no clue where the next meal will come from?
How do you compare to someone with no roof over their head?
How do you compare to a barren woman?

• So before you go about complaining about the taste of your food, think of someone with no meal at all
• Before you go about complaining about your feet and how big they are or hard it is for you to find your size, think of that person who cannot afford to buy shoes or that person who don't even have feet in the first place
• Before you complain about your problems, find out if you have learned the necessary lessons to help you at the next level. 
• Before you complain about your life, think of others who died too early to even make any meaning out of it
• Before you complain, try to understand
• Before you criticize, try to praise
• Before you hate, try to love
• Before you complain about today, be grateful you even have breath to complain with
• Before you complain about your children, think about the women who desire to have kids but are barren
• Before you complain about your spouse, remember how you prayed for them to come into your life and remember how many will do anything to have a spouse to call their own 
• Before you complain about not getting what you want, think of those that will never have what you have today
• Before you go about complaining about everyone else, have you considered what you might be doing wrong?

Spending today complaining about yesterday wont make tomorrow any better. If everyone had the opportunity to throw their problems in a pile and we all saw everyone else's, i bet you would grab yours back quickly. 

So be grateful for the little you have and hope for something bigger as you grow along the way.

Stay thankful and grateful.

Love y'all

Regards

Why Knowledge is never enough!!!

Knowledge is an understanding of someone or something such as facts, information, description or skills which is acquired through experience or education by perceiving, discovering or learning.

It is usually the first step but not the only step needed in your journey towards success but many people just get knowledge and stop there. Some go a little further and gain understanding but while knowledge and understanding are great to have, it doesn't do you any good.

It is not enough for you to know about something or someone, more importantly is what you do with what you know or who you know.

This is where wisdom comes in. Wisdom is the application of knowledge. Wisdom is the principal thing, therefore get wisdom. The problem is that a lot of people have knowledge  but not many people get to do the things they know. For example, you probably know what you need to do to get into shape and loose some weight  but are you willing to do it? knowing all you need to do won't make you loose weight, rather doing what needs to be done, makes you loose weight. Got It?

Likewise, your knowledge about your dreams and aspirations wont make it come to pass unless you are willing to do the things that need to be done.

We have all heard that knowledge is power, while this is true to some extent, knowledge becomes truly powerful when you take action based on the information you know.

I am not in anyway trying to undermine the importance of knowledge rather all i am doing is bringing to your fore the importance of acting based on what you know.

Knowledge will not help you write your resume after you graduate from the university. Imagine you go to college and study for four good years. You graduate with a 3.9GPA. You know a lot about Accounting & Finance but you refuse to go in search of a job. That is exactly what happens when all you do is get knowledge.

Knowledge without action is the same as having a dream without a plan.

Action is very important in your day to day life. You must seek to do something that will bring you closer to your dreams on a daily basis.

Making mistakes is better than playing it safe, for the one who plays it safe will never know what could haver been.

Get knowledge, get understanding but most importantly be a Doer.

Act on what you know.  You must apply. In the same way, Willing is not enough, you must do.

Happy Thursday and keep winning

Have you ever thought about retirement?

Retirement is something a lot of people are not thinking about.  Most people see it as a subject that they will deal with much later in life. Unknowing to these group of people, for every day you defer thinking and planning about it, the more you will regret it.

But for the benefit of those thinking about it, when you think of retirement, what comes to your mind? taking unending vacations, ability to visit all your grandchildren in different parts of the world, ability to rest from your working years?

What dreams do you have for retirement?

While this is not a very interesting subject, it is a very important subject.  Retirement is not an age. it is not 30 years from now or 50 years from now for some. It is a financial number and you have got to have a plan.

Of what use is it to work for over 40 years of your life, to end up relying on your children to provide for you financially or for some relying on the government to provide you with the basic needs of life.

It doesn't matter if you earn $10,000 or $100,000. planning is planning and saving is saving. Little drops of water can make a mighty ocean.

You have got to have a financial plan for retirement.

Decide how much you need to save for retirement.

Do you know that if you are 28 years old and you save a minimum of $300 every month for 20 years and stop saving and you allow it grow in an investment account, you would have over $1,000,000 in that account. i repeat, ONE MILLION DOLLARS. Thanks to compound interest. many of us spend over $300 on food and clothes and entertainment in a month and did not even realize it, yet we don't even have a savings account not to even talk of a retirement account

Not everyone wants to be an entrepreneur but everyone should be intentional about their future. do not be a burden to your family or society in your old age.

If there is anything you should work towards, it should be the opportunity to be a giver and you can only be one when you have something to give.

Botton line is that you can save at any stage of your life even with little money. Start now, do not procrastinate.

Make the rest of your life the best of your life.

Start planning your future today.

I love you and i want you to succeed

Kind Regards

Your life too can be beautiful

Even though life can be unpredictable, often times we simply get back what we have given. Whatever a man sows is what he reaps. If you sow mangoes you are most certainly going to get back mangoes, it would be really weird to get tomatoes in return.

This simple fact cuts across all areas of our life.  If you desire the beautiful things of life then you need to invest in beautiful things. Beautiful can be anything you want it to be. It could be a better relationship with your partner, family or friends. It could be more money, a better career or business breakthrough.  It could be anything.

So rather than get bitter at others making a life, work on yourself and stay happy and if the things you desire are things that you can't do anything about like a terminal sickness, still stay hopeful and be full of praises. Remember that there is God who makes all things beautiful and he can turn any situation around.

Do not sit in the corner and wonder how great life could have been for you if you were your neighbor.  Your neighbor worked hard to have that life and you too can have it if you work hard. Also be careful about what you envy, you may get it only to realize it wasn't worth it.

Work hard at your goals and don't let your focus be only on material things. Invest in the things that matter. Invest your time and resources.

If you want a good relationship, be friendly and look out for substance in people.

If you want to be rich, get a job, start a business, invest, save. Do all those things that rich people do. Read and research  more on the people you admire and find out what they do so that you can do the same and even more.

You are a unique individual with talents that can make you into something great. Do not waste your time wishing to be someone else. Life is too short to spending it only wishing. Start doing something about the things that you desire so that others can dream to be like you someday.

Also realize that timing is everything. there is a time to sow and a time to reap. You might be in your sowing stage while your neighbors are in their reaping stage. You can't compare both. Focus on your lane and keep the end goal in my mind

Above all, learn to have a beautiful heart for only a beautiful heart can bring things into your life things that money cannot buy.

Stay Beautiful

PS. Always know that you have something no one has and something someone else desires

Kind Regards

Building the right mindset

Your mindset is your most powerful tool and the foundation to getting the most out of your life. It is also the brain behind all your decision making. Your mind is your secret weapon. If you can win in your mind, then you can win with your life.

Every great accomplishment always starts with an idea and your mindset determines if that thought will die as an idea or grow to become something successful.

Most of your outcomes in life are a great percentage of your mindset.  Your mindset controls your attitude which in turn controls your behavior which affects your actions and performance and generates the type of results you get.

Your mindset doesn't care if you are well educated or not, it produces what you feed into it. If you feed your mind with negative ideas, you will always be frustrated for never accomplishing anything, likewise if you feed it with positive ideas, your world becomes one filled with numerous opportunities.

While many people struggle with keeping a positive mindset due to the situations and experiences they may have faced growing up, it is never too late to build a right mindset and here are a few ways;

• Feed your mind. You can do this by reading, doing something new, exercising your brain, exercising your body, thinking positive, eating healthy and getting enough sleep

• Treat your mindset as a voice. Your mindset is always speaking to you. it controls the way you speak to yourself. it tells you, "you can do it or you cannot do it" Pay attention to what your mindset tell you, if it tends towards the negative, then you need to consciously make efforts to speak against it and speak positivity into yourself. The truth of the matter is that no one was born with a positive mindset. we are all work in progress. Most individuals with a positive mindset worked on themselves to be that way and you too can be that way if you choose to be.

• Speak positively to yourself always . SAY IT OUT LOUD. " I Can do it and i will do it"

• Act on your desires: If you desire to be a particular way or you desire to achieve somethings in your life, go for it and just do it.  Its one thing to talk your way through and convince yourself that you can do but its actually another level doing what you have desired to do. The more you do, the more you grow, the more you grow, the more you learn and know and after a while your mindset becomes constantly positive.

• Don't spend your time on things that could have been. Let go of the bad things that have happened to you and don't define your life by them. Its in the past and that is where it should remain. forge ahead and think of the beautiful things that awaits you. you will never know if you do not try. 

Everyone has 24 hours in a day with one head. It is what you do with your time that makes all the difference.  Spend it wisely by building yourself up for greatness

Happy Monday

Kind Regards
