The Purpose Driven Mind (Making a Difference in Life)

People say that if you want to go fast, you can go alone, but if you want to go far, you need to go with others. This is a major difference between shared thinking and solo-thinking. Have you ever seen someone who started a project alone and took it to conclusion alone? In Shared Thinking, you recruit other people whose thoughts will help you go far with your endeavours and you join forces with them. You don't do solo thinking to go far. Most times, actually, in these fast-paced days, you need to be able to collaborate with other good thinkers to be able to have quick results. 3 key Differences between Shared Thinking and Solo-thinking Shared thinking is good for innovation. Innovative thinking always utilizes shared thinking and not solo-thinking. Note also that Shared thinking breeds maturity. When you are able to hook up with what another person has done, you grow in maturity. Other people's experience will make it easier than you trying to get the experience first-han...

Hi there,  In one of my videos. I mentioned that every worker has his or her tools. A worker without a tool can't accomplish his mission and a worker without the right tools will exert energy, burn out and turn out frustrated without reaching the targeted goal. But the worker with the right tool and the knowledge of the usage of the right tool will be efficient, and effective and will produce massive results. We are created with the capacity to analyze, process information and solve problems and your brain is the tool for your productivity.   Your brain is designed to keep you safe at all times. It can resist your true intent if you don't practice how to keep it on track and foster holistic growth through the power of mindfulness.   Mindfulness is maintaining a moment-by-moment awareness of our thoughts, feelings and bodily sensations, and our surrounding environment.   The ability to be fully present, aware of where we are and what we are doing at tim...

Possibility Thinking is allowing yourself to think possibilities, moving away from the given into thinking “this can happen”. It is where you choose to think possibility despite facts. Take for example, you could be tempted to reason that your life will reflect the tough economy in your part of the country. It could be true that the obstacles and harsh conditions are present and staring you in the face; but ‘Possibility Thinking’ is your tool to break through. Remember Myles Munroe’s words; “the future you are looking for is trapped on your inside”. So, despite the situation around you, there is a tool within you for breaking out. One of the tools God has given to us is your mind; you need to know how to engage it during crisis. This is what ‘Possibility thinking’ is about. Now, according to John Maxwell, “Possibility Thinking” is a way to see possibilities everywhere instead of limitations. Read this: To be a possibility thinker, you must learn to be comfortable with failure. ...

  This is the final episode of our success mix, the A-Z of success.

It is you implementing knowledge you have gotten. For example, I am believing that you will sit back and try to apply everything you have learnt from our A-Z of success.   Youthful-at-heart It does not really matter how old you are; if you are youthful at heart, you will find strength to keep going.   Zeal Be passionate in your pursuit of whatever you have set out to achieve. Be zealous; you will need it going forward. Please watch the brief video I recorded on these 3 words below;
