Position yourself for what you want.

You know, back in the days, I used to compare life to a football field/soccer field. On the soccer field, you have to be at the right position to get an uninterrupted pass to be able to move or score goals. So, in life, you must know how to position yourself for you to have a successful life. Therefore, positioning is very important in life. When you want something in life, you have to position your life for it. Make yourself available and qualified for it. This is what happens when you position yourself well for what you want; you cannot be ignored. A few days ago I was thinking and I asked myself, why is it that some people are everywhere, but at the end of the day, they are nowhere? Like the saying that says " Jack of all trades, master of of none". When I asked myself that question, an answer came to my spirit. The answer I got was, such people have not discovered themselves. Discovering yourself means, realizing who you are and knowing what you want in and out of life. Don't always be the one on the bench observing everyone else. Discover who you are, know what you want and position yourself for it. There is a decision I have made that I would to share with you all. I have decided that I will never let any opportunity pass me by. That's why I have a problem with the clause "I know" that has become the in thing today. Before you start talking to someone about something, the first thing that comes out of their mouths is, I know. Let me tell you something, people who know two much never go too far in life. This is the reason. When you know everything, it makes people stop talking to you because they assume you already knew. Don't know too much. Rather, cease every opportunity to learn something new. You never know where they might be useful to you. Don't let anything be common to you cause everything is important. If you want a job, position yourself for it. You want a wife, a husband a new career! Anything you want in life, make sure you position yourself for it. Don't let anything distract you. Not even yourself. Like I said in my other post, sometimes we can be our greatest enemies. Make a positive effort everyday to do something new. Learn from others. Do not limit yourself cause there is so much more out there. The things you accomplished today are proves that you can do even more if you put your mind to it. Learn to trust God and let Him direct you, and I bet you you will never go wrong. God bless you.

You, Your Greatest Enemy

A lot of times, we are so quick to see what others do, how they don't treat us good, how they ignore us and stuff like that. Sometimes we blame everybody for what happens to us and what we go through. But I tell you the truth, in most cases, we are our own problems. If only we can take a second to look at ourselves inwardly, we would realise that a lot of things are being taken for granted and as a result, we pay the consequences that we end up blaming everybody for. One of the things about us that we always overlook is our habbits. Do you have a specific habbit that stops you from doing what you need to do? or become a bump between you and the way you ought to live? Do not take it for granted. Make it a responsibility. Change whatever you don't want while you still can. Only you can make personal changes and when you do, you will see a lot of things working even more than you expected. Make a conscious, constant effort to always put yourself on check. Sometimes ago, I wrote something and made mention of the common things of life. This is very important. Every little thing we do matters. Don't allow yourself to be your own barrier. Believe me when I say this, everything is possible. When you plan something and they don't work out, take a minute to look back at the steps you took and you will be surprised there is something you did not do right. Don't get caught up with things that take your attention away from yourself. Always put yourself first cause, when your life is straight, you can do and achieve whatever you want and even be a blessing to others. Don't be your own enemy, but be a blessing to yourself. God bless you and give a week full of God's blessings and favor.
