Mad Men Speak In Dreams

So, I had a dream that I became the President, got the country running, and changed the world round about me. But then the dream was short lived by the buzzing sound of some terrible mosquitoes. #naija ehn#

The greatest King ever-recorded had this to say, "In the abundance of words and activities dreams abound; but in the multitude of dreams there is vanity. Do not let your heart make utterances hastily, but let your words be few. For while you stay busy with the business you've been provided, fulfillment and increase would come thereof." (Excerpt from the Book of Ecclesiastes by King Solomon)

Prior to the fear of losing one's dreams to imitators or already established competitors, alot of people end-up holding unto whatever idea they have locked in their heads, at the expense of practically living it.

While most of us spend forever telling ourselves why we shouldn't *kick our ideas out of the nest, and see if it would fly or not*, some are rather nescient of the fact that "it is at the point we give up what we have, that we find what we're looking for."

It is no myth that riskbearers take all of the profits. But as morphine is to a man in pain, we get high on our thoughts and enjoy the warmth of its embrace, though the reality is far from us.

Don't get me wrong, 'dreaming' is great but 'doing' is the only thing that matters. For what's the use of the dreams and strategies if not effectively executed.

Although, true dreams show us the weight of our responsibilities and the height of the profits locked-in thereof, until it is actualised, dreams are no different from a myth that attracts 'zero' investors.
...

Quit talking and get busy, as your story is to the benefit of the world roundabout you.

*From me to y'all, do have a fantastic new month to yourselves.*

...Reggae and Blues...

"If life were to be music, what genre would yours be...?"
Reggae, Blues, Pop, RnB, Afro, Rap, or Country?

Our hearts majorly resonate with the essence of our being and eventually who we become. No wonder we're attracted to certain tunes and compositions.

By our heart we receive moral obligations, this isn't about choices but us responding to our abilities; and to which the success of many are tied.

Life is about so many things, it is as well about 'gives and takes'.

Dreams (1)

Ed. Note
Dreams will only remain in the confines of the mind except if made a reality.

I guess the saddest loss for any man would be for his dreams to never take off������.
For just as planes were built to live in the skies, so was man born to live out his dreams. So much that you can't possibly get it wrong with the right dream in the right direction������

On your way to the top, you're probably gonna fall������ a couple of times or more, but the reality remains, no one will be counting except you1⃣2⃣3⃣.

Indeed, i guess i can say that you are the greatest enemy of yourself������, and until you win over yourself, there would be less that you can accomplish.

Therefore, there's a need for you to liberate your mind from what it had been wired around - in which case failure it could be failure������- and embrace the chances of maximising opportunities regardless of the obstacles.
Give yourself to learning a new thing per time, whereby you create a new pathway in your mind and have your belief-system structured around it, until you fully gain the power ������������ to bring the ideas birthed into fruition.

Until I see you again, Conquer your fear, Conquer your world. ��������

Cheers

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.

Thoughtful

"...You're what you think..."

Human beings can alter their life by altering what they spend their time thinking about -as it is said, we become what we think.

The human mind works as the land does -just as when you plant a seed and it germinates into the fruit from which it was collected, with the land providing not too much but nutrients and an habitat.

The mind delivers relatively the same provision as the land for our thoughts to germinate. Meaning, the real essence of life isn't in the things money can buy, rather it's in our thoughts.
Therefore, you must control your thought and it's pattern.
(This might sound cliché but it is highly valuable).

Life is a journey, you can either be in front of it or behind it. You can either think success or failure, but not-in-between.
The choice is never far-fetched, it is in our everyday life-bound decisions, and our level of commitment.

Life isn't about trial and error, it's about us embracing what's best for ourselves, relatives, friends, and the legacies that's to be told.

Forget about certainty, hope is enough. Life is hope:
Be Hopeful, Be Thoughtful, Be Successful, Be the Best you can be. But most importantly, be RIGHTEOUS.

Happy new year folks, trust it's been a great year so far. It's been one year already, can't wait for it all to unfold.

What's your goal for the year...?
You sure should make it clear.

Till next time, stay focused.
