In my last writeup, I began to explain the supernatural dimensions involved in becoming an acheiver. I concluded by pointing out that there are mindblowing achievement locked up in your spirit which amy never get accomplished if you do not know how to tap into them and bring them forth in the natural. Today, I will be taking you through one of the ways of unlocking this hidden,coded accomplishments that are in your spirit. This way is sometimes referred to as the 'power of imagination' or the 'law of mental picture'. This law simply states that before any acheivement can happen in the natural,physical world, it first had to have happened in the mind of the achiever. simply put, the achiever's first responsibility is to get the image of what he seeks to achieve engrafted in his mind. The question then is, where is this image which is to be in the mind of the achiever supposed to come from? To answer this in simple tenses, you have to first be rooted in the consc...

If you did go through my last writeup, you would by now  have yielded to the call to belong to a spiritual sphere of influence. You would by now have accepted Christ as your Lord and saviour,thus entering into the same spiritual sphere with God, the creator of the universe and you would be determined to give all it takes to achieving all  that the creator God will have you achieve so as to become the ultimate achiever. In this writeup, I want to take you through how to decipher what is happening in the spiritual so that you can give ex...

In the last writeup, I began to talk briefly on how to partner with the supernatural in achieving our goals. I also mentioned that any goals achieved without the involvement of the supernatural will not give you the ultimate satisfaction. In the world today, a lot of things are happening. The social world is become more involving, the political world is failing, the financial world is evolving, the education sector is become less relevant and also the spiritual world is appearing insignificant! However, only a few in there pursuit of achievement have come to realize that the world is controlled from the spiritual realm. Things happen here in every sphere of influence because there are spiritual forces put to work. This shows that for anyone to cause any major change and become a major achiever, he has to have a spiritual standing. Now, when I talk about the spiritual, I am not talking about religion as to whether you are a Christian or a muslim or a budhist-No, I am not! I am talkin...

Having said a lot about how to be an achiever and the methodologies of acheivements, I would like to point a very important reality to you, the ultimate achiever. This important reality is the bedrock of acheivement. If you lack the insight into this reality, you will never really become the ultimate acheiver experientially. Your creator as placed a void in you that cannot be filled with purpose, goals and visions that are outside Him. God has placed in you a hunger within,that can only be filled by Him alone.  Most men do not know this, so they try to fill this seemingly unquenchable hunger with achievements. If however, your reason for wanting to become an achiever is because of this feeling of 'there is more to me', then this write up is for you. Yes, you are right! There is more to you than meet the eyes. There is a you in the mind of the creator when He was fashioning you. A you that in Him should by creation achieve a certain goal, a you that the world do not yet kno...

In my previous writeup,  I have taken you through the processes involved in setting  goals and how to set achievable goals. I then continued to explain that goals should be set in the dmensions of growth.i.e. in areas where growths are desired. I have been taking you through a series of ares you must pay attention too for goals settings. You can read the previous writeup to get this insight. However, today, I will be taking you through other aresas where the force of goal setting must be put in place for growth to be actualized. PHYSICAL AND HEALTH Health is said t...

In the last writeup, I began to examine the various aspect you should focus your long term goals. I want to go further today by talking about some more areas where goal settings are important SPIRITUAL AND ETHICAL Let’s get this cleared, any goals set without careful consideration of its spiritual effect on the one setting it and on the people that will be influenced by such goals doesn’t make a good goal. A good goal is one that motivates, leading to a better spiritual growth. It is of outmost importance that in all of your setting of goals, one should deliberately create goals channeled towards spiritual growth. Growths are not accidental, spiritual growth happens by a deliberate action steps taken by the person growing. To grow spiritually, you may have to decide to start going to church regularly, to start praying for a certain number of minutes every day, to study the word of God every day. Spiritual growth is consciously achieved when you deliberately set out time f...

In my last write up, I began to explain the different classes of goals you must set in your path to achievement. I called them the "Short term goals and the Long term goals". I also explained succinctly what short term goals entailed. Now, I want to take you through my discovery about long term goals and how to go about setting them. I discovered also that there are goals we have over a long period of time. These goals extend for quite a long range. It talks about series of plans made towards achieving a definite vision. For example, a student’s long term goal could be graduating as the best in is class. The student will then make a series of small term goals. What I am trying to say is that, often times, series of small term goals are usually set to achieve ...

By now, I am sure you are convinced like I am that goal setting is important. I found out that most time after people have gotten to this point, they begin ask and wonder how to go about setting goals. So if your question is ‘how do I start, what do I put first, what should be my yardstick for measuring progress’. Then, this writeup is for you In answering these questions, I discover by observation and from people who have done this research before me that there are two types of goals. I will succinctly explain these two approaches THE SHORT TERM GOAL I saw that the goals considered as short term goals are the goals you set to accomplish over a short period of time. These types of goals affect your day to day activities. These are the goals you set to make your day fulfilling. I mean every morning before you stand up from your bed, you should know what you want to do that day. Don’t just stand up from bed and do whatever comes your way. Plan your day because your...

In my previous writeup, I pointed out how I discovered that it was impossible to be an achievr without having goals. Then I began to point out the reasons for goal setting.I will continue from there by mentioning some other points Goals give direction Now that you seem to have understood the relationship between goal and vision, I would proceed to tell you that knowing what you want to achieve would ultimately give your actions a specific direction. When you have a mental picture without a definite action plan as to how to achieve them, what you are doing is fantasizing or should I say wishful thinking. But, I tell you, once you know what you want to achieve, you can go ahead to create a roadmap on how to arrive at that future you want to future in. I mean to say that, it should be obvious top you that without goals, you cant set a roadmap as there is ...

I set my mind to understand the secrets of success and witty inventions, to know what makes achiever’s achieve, to understand the methodology and steps to speedy progress and to understand how to stay on top. I perused through the pages of history, to see how men of worth became who they are, to understand how they gained value, I went through ages past, I sought references from various races as to get what differentiates and distinguish people in each generation. This I found and it marveled me, I stayed on what I found, I pondered on it. I discovered the difference between the achiever and the non- achiever, the successful and the unsuccessful, those who enjoyed speedy progress and those who did not is so amazing that I couldn’t but share with you. I found that those who achieved had a specific target in view, that there efforts were channeled towards a particular achievement, that they know what they wanted and they went for it. There was definiteness of purpose with them and ...

      The Bible points it out that as a man thinks in his heart, so is he. Also, Henry Ford was quoted to have said 'if you think you can, you are right and if you think you cant, you are also right. Why did I start with this profound introduction? The reason is simple- 'All potential achievers have excuses to not becoming achievers'. What migrates achievers from being potential achievers to actual achievers are the things they know while going through the various processes that made them the achiever they are. I want to use this medium to show you some of the facts they know. BACKGROUND IS NOT AN EXCUSE Often you hear potential achievers complain about their background and most of these people wish they had a better background. They blame their inability to reach their target on the kind of background they have. This excuse is the most frequent complaint of people who have failed to be real success in life. This excuse is that they had a poor background and could no...

In my previous writeup, I began to mention and explain some facts that achievers know. It is the practise of these facts that produce the achievers out of them. So, if you are to be an achiever, you will have to know and practise these facts. These facts are SUCCESS IS A STATE OF THE MIND Success is a state of mind! Success is first a mindset before it becomes a physical reality. If you want success, you have to dominate your thinking with success. To be an achiever, you have to start thinking as an achiever would. You have to delibrately cultivate the habit of thinking success. This is because, what you think about is what you become,so when you think success, you are cultivating your being for success. Achievers know that life moves in the direction of most predominant thought, so they prodominate there thoughts with success, so there life moves in the direction of success. This is where I stopped in my last writeup. Let's look at another fact NOTHING WORKS WITHOUT A WORK...

To begin this writeup, I would like to explain briefly what opposition means. Opposition is said to be an opposing situation that seeks to negate an expected outcome. In order words, opposition surfaces to provide a result opposite in direction to what the vision of an achiever is. Another interesting fact is that opposition must come in the pathway of accomplishments. However, to overcome opposition, you need to tackle the opposition from the root source. The root source is the mind. What opposition seeks to do is to change your mind and make you become unstable in your vision. Once the opposition succesfully change your mind, the vision becomes impossible to achieve.So difficulties in the pathway of achievement are a means to an end. The end is to shift your focus off the target. It is therefore important you equip your mind before you even begin the journey towards becoming an achiever.     You are not to get discouraged  at difficulties, it may not appear easy wh...

In the previous epistle(The secret behind Great accomplishments), I explained the concept of vision and how that vision is the major secret behind every great accomplishment(you can read it up if you haven't). However, I stated that in the process of getting the right vision, the achiever needs to have available to him, four different kinds of sights. This writeup is to show you what those sights are so that you too can equip yourself with them on your path to becoming the achiever. THE EYE-SIGHT This kind of sight is important to the visionary, you cannot afford to lose them. This sight is not talking about just seeing with you eyes, rather, it is a sight that allows the visionary to know what is happening around him. A visionary with this kind of sight is said to be aware of what is going on around him. He is not having the mindset of yesteryears in the present years. Simply put, he is abrazed with current facts and thus he is very informed in the present. THE HIND-SIGHT It is ...

           Vision is the trademark of any achiever. To explain this in a concise expression will not do that statement proper justice but when you take a country like Nigeria as an example, you will begin see that statement in a proper perspective. There are over 6.6billion people in the world and over 160million people in Nigeria. It has been estimated that Nigeria's population will have grown to about 430million by the year 2050. Out of the present 160million people in Nigeria, it also has been noted that only 20 percent of the populace share in the wealth of the nation. Generally speaking, a look into history has shown that only 30 percent of each generation have there name written in the hall of fame, leaving their impact in the landmark of time. The implication of this fact is that others in such generations have merely existed without anything to remember them by and are soon forgotten. I put it to you, that the reason why most of the 70percent are ...
