What Makes You Different?

One of the most important things I will ever learn in life is how to be myself. It’s one thing to discover who I am. It’s another thing to be who I am. Many may know who they are, but don’t know how to become who they are. The journey of life is a personal race, never a collective one. Your closest friend or twin brother/sister may not be able to run with you. So, you've got to find your own lane. This is not to separate you from people but to identify your unique difference and know why you are here. Oftentimes, we tend to please people, we tend to live for people and want them to admire us and like what we do. It's good. But in as much as it doesn't happen, you don't need to be bothered by it. You want to talk to people who don’t want to talk to you. You want to live with people who don’t want to live with you. You want to work with people who don’t want to work with you. What do you do? Let them go. Don’t feel ashamed. Don’t feel dejected or rejected. For the fact that they don’t want or like you does not remove anything from you. It does not devalue you. Rather, it makes you discover more things about yourself. It gives you opportunity to learn more and have more time to yourself. In as much as people are important in our lives, we need to be able to think and live on our own without too much attachment or dependency on them. As God wants us to be united and in one accord, he also wants us to acknowledge our individuality and uniqueness. You are different because God made you different. He wouldn’t want you to depend on anyone, but to love everyone. Dependency makes you susceptible to disappointments and frustration from people. You wouldn’t want to feel offended or become callous against people. Better to guard your heart. When you love people, love with understanding. Know what you are doing. Many have claimed to love and have put their life in danger. True love is expressed with knowledge. Know how to love. I see you going higher and higher in life. Blessings.

Keys To Productivity

Productivity is about adding value, contributing your own quota to the system to have a better life. It’s an economic measure of rate of outputs per unit input. Input involves labour and capital. Outputs are measured by revenues (income) and products (goods). Everybody has got to produce what they have. What do you have? You can’t be here doing nothing. You’ve got to do something, no matter how small. It’s not enough to have capital (money or other resources), labour is required. Everybody must work. Except you are underaged or incapable, if you are not working, you are not worthy to live. Work gives you worth. If you are a student, it’s not enough to pay your school fees (capital), you must study well (work). Learning and studying are priority for you above any other thing. If you are not doing this, you are not doing well, and you are wasting your life. On the long run, you won’t be able to add value. There are too many young people these days who have been distracted by so many things. No time to read. No time for self-development. No time for productive thinking. It’s activities all over, a syndrome common among people from undeveloped countries. They are lazy with their studies, but hazy with all kinds of activities. And I wonder who will bale these ones out of journey to poverty. Work is never a curse, God commanded it. Labour is never a sin, scriptures make it clear. God has blessed you, but you must work. God has given you all the riches on earth, but you must do what you suppose to do. It’s not enough to confess, you must go ahead to possess. If you are a student, you must be committed to learning. If you are a business man or woman, you must know how your business is adding value to people and meeting their needs. If you are a civil servant, you must know how you are adding value to government and have good returns as your salary. If you are a servant of God, you must know how you are serving God and his people. Let’s have a new generation of people who are productive and can change nations with what they’ve got. Blessings.
