MASTERPIECE INSPIRATIONS FOR SUCCESS

Emotional Intelligence (EI) and Spiritual Intelligence (SI) are important in every relationship, because "If you cannot control your emotions, you are as helpless as a city without walls, open to attack." Proverbs 25:28 GNT There are key basic needs of every relationship and they includes; acceptance, identity, security, purpose, friendship, and Emotional Intelligence (EI). Acceptance is the acknowledgement that you are loved, valued, appreciated and needed  in that relationship. Identity  is the acknowledgement that you are significant, respected, and special in that relationship. Security is the acknowledgement that you are cared for, provided for and well protected in that relationship. Purpose  is the acknowledgement that you understand the reason for being in that relationship and that you are committed to a mutually benefitial relationship. A Purposeful relationship supports each other's aspirations, hope, goals, vision and provides a shoulder to lean on when t

You can not change your present circumstances in life, without first changing the vision or picture of life that you hold in your mind (mental photographs). Ideas, thoughts, imaginations, and words are seeds. When they are based on the positive images of what you desire to accomplish (seed dream), they are seeds of greatness with the potential to create or produce after their kind. However, if the vision or picture of life that you hold in your mind, is based on the negative images of your present reality and the associated societal influences that focus only on the gloom and the doom, they will produce destructive seeds with the potential to sabotage your chances of ever succeeding in life. The vision you hold in your mind is the promise of what would eventually unfold in your life, because every seed has the potential to create or produce after their kind. This is why you can not successfully maximise your potentials to fulfill your purpose in life, without first changing your vi

In the Parable of the Talent (Mathew 25), Jesus illustrated how the master gave each servant talents according to their abilities. The parable showed that each servant was considered an entrepreneur but with different skillset and  Mindset. “To one he gave five talents [A talent was worth several hundred pounds.] of money, to another two talents, and to another one talent, each according to his ability. Then he went on his journey." Mathew 25:15 NIV. However, the master expected each servant to add value to their talents. So the servant that received the least talent but buried it instead of adding value was rebuked and punished by the master. The same is true for our lives. Your gifting makes you unique, special and valuable to the world. Every one of us was born with unique talent to add value to other people’s life and become successful doing what we were born to do. Sadly, most people die and are buried with their talents. “A gift opens the way for the giver and ushers hi

Words can make or break a business or personal relationship, because words are so powerful that they can be either a dynamite or diamond, empower or dis-empower, encourage or discourage, promote or demote, provoke or pacify, build or destroy, create friends or make enemies. No wonder the Book of Proverbs says, "Words kill, words give life; they’re either poison or fruit—you choose." Proverbs 18:21 MSG. For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction (Newton's Third Law of Motion). Likewise, negative words attract negative reactions and positive words attract positive reactions. In other words, "A man reaps what he sows." Galatians 6:7 NIV. Words are like seeds and the type of seed you plant in any field of life will determine your harvest: If you plant the seed of love you shall reap a harvest of love If plant the seed of hatred you shall reap a harvest of hatred If you plant the seed of joy you shall reap a harvest of joy If you plant the se

True wealth and riches in life is determined by the state of one's mind, because your perception becomes your reality. " For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.." Proverbs 23: 7 It takes a creative mind to create and cultivate the seed of the ideas that will produce  and multiply wealth. If you are never grateful and happy for who you are and what you have at every stage in your life, the chances that you will ever be happy and fulfilled in life by accumulation of financial wealth is very low. If you don't celebrate your current achievement no matter how small it may be, you will be setting up yourself for a very miserable life. And if your current financial status determines your happiness and controls your emotions, then your potentials in life could be limited by your mindset, because poverty is a reflection of one's state of the mind. " Some people are so poor because all they have is money." Money is an amplifier and it will amplify the

I believe that every human being was created to fulfill a unique purpose in life and your purpose should contribute to the benefit of humanity, because God is not selfish. That's why the scripture says, "He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the righteous and the unrighteous." Matthew 5:45 NIV. This is the reason why you were created with limitless potentials as God's Masterpiece (in His image and likness), but until you tap into your true identity, you can never maximize your full potentials in life. "For we are God’s masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago." Ephesians 2:10 NLT. God is Omnipotent. The word "Omnipotence" was derived from the Latin term "Omni Potens", meaning "All-Powerful"  That is having unlimited power and able to do anything. Come with me as I introduce you to the steps that can help you achieve good

I have realized that success oftentimes comes to those trailblazers who venture into unfamiliar territories to make their mark even when it requires the dreadful challenges and loneliness that most people fear.  It could be lonely at the top for any trailblazing Enterpreneur; and also during the journey to the top as well, but sometimes it is the journey that makes the destination worth it all! In other words, success comes to those that have reached a turning point in life, where they have made the decision and taken actions to transition from the victim that always blames the government and the society for their failures, to the Problem Solver, that sees opportunities in the midst of scarcity and economic instability.  "Every problem is a business opportunity, because whenever you solve a problem, you increase your value in the marketplace and hence your earning potentials." - Clems Successful Entrepreneurs are those that have made that transition from being the vict

Your greatest failure oftentimes precedes your greatest  success in life.  Unfortunately, many people quit the race, without realising that they are just few inches away from the finishing line. Whenever you hit major obstacles on your way for success, it is a signal that you are about to break through the barrier and it takes the Law of Persistence to turn your greatest failure to your greatest weapon of success. In other words, if you can turn every disappointment in your life into an opportunity to prepare for the next appointment with destiny, and equipped with the benefit of hindsight, you will surely become unstoppable by any obstacle. "Greatness is oftentimes forged in the furnace of persistence."
