Who you are + What you are = Why you are

It is no doubt that success is about becoming the best version of yourself. The more you dwell on this personality and align it with your purpose, the more it brings-out the essence of your existence. And the more people you help on your path to finding fulfilment, the more you meet at the place of your fulfilment.



Finding and giving purpose is the linch pin of a driving society. And it is upon this reality that a whole new community is built per time.

For there is no greater discovery as that which is yet to be discovered.


If we would keep discovering and in-turn offer as much as we discover, our world would be a better place.


The question I often ask myself is, what have you found so far, and how much have you given...? Remember, "the meaning of life is to find your gift, and the purpose of life is to give it away."~Pablo Picasso


It's been a great day so far, has it not?

YOUR TIME STARTS NOW

YOUR TIME STARTS NOW

Ed note: "The minute you choose to do what you really want to do, you begin a different kind of life."
R. Buckminster Fuller

I never was a fan of corporate writing and so were some of my colleagues. At a point, the mention of a business proposal or the likes would set my whole nerves in an unease while rendering my creative mind ineffective.

Fast-forward to a few years down the road, and the same me received an award in the freelance writing category -courtesy the GNBS society. Plus, I've generated several contents and contributed to the development of other materials that were either used for research, socially or strictly for business.

Like the naive me, I can tell that so many people must have asked this same question frequently: When am I going to be finally successful?

Some even go as far as saying, "without a business plan or any of the other trappings of traditional entrepreneurship, how can I tell if I’m actually succeeding in my business?” ~Aura Alex

I am of the opinion that the answer isn't far-fetched and it is as plain and simple as the saying: If you do what you love, get paid for it, and in-turn use the resources generated to sort a bill, put gas in your car, buy your kids new shoes, take your significant half out for a dinner, and keep some as savings, you’re indeed succeeding in your very own little way.

It is quite understandable to say that a lot of us have contrasting definitions for success, I however believe that success is in activating, magnifying, and fulfilling the essential part of us called purpose.

Success doesn't have to follow the script written by someone out there, it just have to follow your own script. 

What is on your script...? 

Till next time, remember, your time starts now.

It is all insanity

"If you think anyone is sane you just don't know enough about them" ~ Christopher Moore.

I want to believe that at the time Christopher Moore made this statement, he must have seen the very things I am seeing presently.
I mean, it appears as though the number of sane people had not only reduced but had been replaced by their insane counterpart.

What would you say of a medical practitioner who teaches on the mode of operations of drugs and the side-effects, yet a chronic addict.
The law enforcement agencies whose job description is to ensure that the law is duly enforced, yet breaks the law at a regularly.
How about a clergyman who is trained and ordained for religious service, yet drenched in the pool of immorality.

"Wisdom is profitable to direct"~ Ecclesiastes 10:10, a prove that having knowledge is not enough to succeed in 'life'. As success requires a combination of knowing and applying, and unless you figure that out it might prove elusive.

Get Knowledge, Get Understanding, Get Wisdom.

Getting acquainted

Ed Note:

Just as journalism thrives on controversies,  success rests upon the shoulders of consistent and effectual information ~ Michael Obajowo Jimmy.

"I had gone out for the most part of the day,  and on returning I felt exhausted and as though I had gained nothing tangible for the day, therefore a need for refreshing. 

 I had little or nothing much to do, so I decided to engage some of my friends on some discussion,  and the result, mind blowing".

"Life we all say is beautiful, but truth be told, beauty is only a function of what you make out of life, and a sum total of the knowledge garnered and well appropriated.

Many of us are quite knowledgeable in our own space, but a large percentage of the things we believe to have knowledge in are obsolete,  yet we are oblivious of this fact. Therefore, we wallow and are [more often than none] bewildered on how to navigate our way to the top.

Limited to my understanding, the most inviolable,  infallible, and intangible way of knowing is by having a touch of the minds of people via the instrumentality of reading. The importance of reading can neither be under-estimated nor over-emphasized, for it is as a tool that liberates a man’s heart and sets him in constant motion towards the discovery of new concepts.

However, one cannot stop at reading alone, as there is a need to stay on  the information chain consistently without a break. Therefore, one needs to improve on his technique, for ideas keeps proliferating without bounds. “To be relevant is to hold the keys to mind-blowing information”. 

One need to consistently conceive the thought of achieving some feat better than the formal, “as the success of yesterday is usually eclipsed by the complexity of today”.

Finally, I would advice that you use every available platform around, to attach yourself to updated and revised information. Someone once said “the most dangerous set of people are those who make important decisions based on some stale and outdated knowledge”.

Remember, “you can never get it wrong with the right information".

Till next time, I remain Michael Obajowo Jimmy your friendly neighbour.
