AS sure as the sun will rise tomorrow and as sure as the winds will blow the mountains you will expire (die). Yes, at one point in the future you will meet this fate and unfortunately stop to exist thereafter. There isn’t much you can do about this and nothing you can do or say after death.
That is a fact no matter how stubborn and cold it comes out. But there is something that needs to be done before that happens, which is within you before you expire and that is within your sphere of influence.
What do you want to be remembered for? You can choose to be inspirational.
We have written about business this business that but forgetting to write about that one person that matters the most.
That person is such that without that person there is nothing to talk about.
Without this person there is no business there is no Government to talk about and that person is you.
YOU are everything to the world and yet we never talk about YOU but today is your lucky day in that we have dedicated today to YOU.
YOU are put on this earth for a purpose. YOU were wired with a brain to oversee the world, its animals, seas and environment. Humankind was put on earth to make a difference.
In fact we are tenants in that we have been positioned to watch this world until the day the Landlord comes back.
We have been empowered to do all we can in our power, to do what we can prior to our Master’s return.
Since you are passing through why not leave a legacy therefore strive to make a difference, that is, inspire those around us.
There is no need to give up as that is dying many times before the final death. Be the hope of aspiration to yourself but above all to others.
There is no need to be negative can you imagine your child exhibiting negativity all day and all night.
Everything you do give it your all. Exhibit your talents for all to be inspired. Never ever sit on your talents and hope they will multiply on their own.
Since you are the temple of the Most High use your body to inspire the youth and children.
To the youth who are lost, guide them religiously and don’t tire.
Exude health like you the epitome of life itself and you as an employee you need it to have an honest and decent living for a very long time.
Take care of yourself as you are an asset as an individual. When we look at balance sheets, profit and loss accounts for year end results we always forget the biggest asset: You.
The individual employee the biggest asset that doesn’t appear on the books. You have value that cannot be quantified and yet people marvel at sterling performance as if it comes on its own. You are those results. Where do we think excellent results come from?
Companies exist because you exist. Everything is there because you exists otherwise nothing flourishes without you. You are what water is to plants, life to companies without which they will die. Be that shining pebble on the beach, a twinkling star. Be that light that is shining in dark places for everyone to emulate. Be that torch that is seen so that they can be financial freedom.
Be that guiding way for prosperity. Be that force that is looking beyond tomorrow.
You need to explore, dream and discover your talents to serve the world uniquely, effectively and efficiently.
Celebrate your competence and live your life to the fullest. Touch other people’s lives with your talents. Donate your time, your talents and your resources to those in need.
Let bygones be bygones and fill your mind with fertile thoughts so you can grow. Think of today as the history in the future and your difference should be felt now.
In whatever you do put the best foot forward and give it your all. Be at your level best at all times. This is you and it can’t be played better by anyone else.
Let’s be positive and full of enthusiasm to reach dizzy heights.
They say your attitude determines your latitude in life and that includes business. We are what we give out.
Remember those that give away receive tenfold and blessed is the hand that giveth. When you give you create space for more within yourself to receive.
In a world of so many questions and so little answers you need to be that voice of reason.
You need to give up on all vices that make you not attain financial freedom. For all what we do we do it for the future generation.
You need to evolve (spirit and mind), grow so that you can serve us better. Up skilling and learning will keep you abreast and relevant to industry and commerce not to mention your family and community.
We need a very sharp mind that comes with continuous learning and belief in yourself. Believe in yourself and you could achieve what you never thought possible. That flickering hope is what keeps you going and it shall be well with you and that which surrounds you. You go out and make that difference.
