WE INSPIRE: A blog on motivation and Inspiration

Some times we spend days, weeks months and even a year without having any meaningful and extraordinary achievement. We feel like just staying in bed and letting the activities of the day unfold on it's own. Sometimes we just feel that whatever will happen will surely happen, we make no efforts in influencing the things that happen around us. Of course I know you have your excuses, strong excuses that you can use to convince yourself. Maybe you think you're less privileged, no academic background, no financial support, or maybe you have some physical deformities. Hellooo, never let your challenges be a limitation to you rather let it be your motivating factor, let it be that driving force that keeps making you to work towards achieving more. Don't let your background put your back on the ground; you didn't go to school? Why not prove to the world that you can still make a difference without a white document with grades. You grew in a home with a very slim financi...

POWERFUL MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH ON COURAGE. Why give up when you have all it takes to forge ahead, let nothing discourage you from achieving your goals, difficult times may come but let them rather be a source of motivation other than discouragement. Let the video do the remaining talks, enjoy!!!

What if wishes were horses??? So many of us would have had a community of them. It's a very good idea to make wishes, especially the actualizable ones. Don't let it end in wishes work towards it's actualization. Some old folks write books/articles and give it titles such as "What I wish I knew before 40yrs", or "I wish I was 20years younger", etc. There might be nothing wrong in publishing such works, but don't be part of the group that will author books such as "I wish I did it when I could" or "I knew how to do it but I didn't" or "Now I regret not trying". Imagining it is just one step towards it's manifestation, don't let it end in Wishes, it only brings regrets at the end. Maybe you don't know how to go about it, well, it's okay to ask for help. Get a mentor, one who believes you can achieve it, one who is ready to guide you rightly. It also helps to get a team, TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES...

www.facebook.com/theSOAbrothers It is said that absence causes the heart to grow funder. People don't know the worth of what they have until it leaves. Sometimes it requires your absence for people to recognize your importance. Sometime ago I wrote on  "YOUR WORTH" stating that self worth is not only limited to monetary acquisitions. If money is the only thing about you that you're growing then you're adding just little to your self value. Do something else no one else can easily do, that boosts your self worth. Your absence can only be deeply felt if you had something no one else could easily provide. Let's look at China, Corona virus and the world economy; if you follow world news you should have understood that the Corona virus had created a serious economy problem for the world, the world economy had gone lower than it was, why, because it struck the part of the world that has what most other countries can't provide. China is a great contrib...

Know your worth... So many times people limit self worth to money, financial acquisitions and other landed properties. No wonder the human race can do anything possible, good or bad, all in search of money. Money is never a bad thing, it's needed for our day to day activities, even in achieving your goals and talents; but making it a number one priority can be detrimental to you and people around you. Self value is not only about money, if money is all you can boast of in life then you have nothing much to boast of, if money is all you can offer in life then you have nothing much to offer. Anyone else can have the same money you have, but there's always this special quality that makes you unique among others. It can be your talent, your character, the services you render etc. Whatever it maybe, guard it jealously. Your worth is your self respect, far greater than monetary value. You can still have money and lack self respect, you can have all that there is to have on Earth...

Some time in the past I wrote that life is not a race; well, I've not given up on that statement, I still stand by it. If it's not a race then it's also not a competition where only one person comes out victorious. In life, everyone has his own timeframe in accordance with God's plans and calender for each individual. But then, if life  is not a race does it mean we shouldn't put in our best into whatever we do? Of course not! I've come ro discover that people only tend to go extra miles in whatever they do if there is a competitor, when there is someone they need to outsmart, just like in business, every business man will do everything possible to outsmart his rival and make more gains. At this point, permit me to say that life is a competition . Am i trying to contradict my own words? Not at all. Life is a competition but here you're not competing against any other person but yourself. In life, you compete against your yesterday . Every new month ...

WE INSPIRE Look how far we've gone into the new year. A lot of days are gone by and the year keeps getting older and older. Wait a second; I believe you had some plans and goals set for the year, you made a lot of targets you wish to attain before the year runs out. Let me ask; have you started working on those goals, what steps have you taken towards the actualization of those wonderful targets? Do you actually recognize that there seems to be no difference between this year and last year, there seems to be nothing new about this year and nothing old about last year, all are just a migration from one day into another. There's no special boundary between the two years. The difference lies in your mentality and your achievements. There can only be a difference between last year and this year if you move some steps further with your life achievements. There cannot be any difference between both years if you end the year on the same level/conditions you ended last year,...

“If you do not conquer self, you will be conquered by self” — Napoleon Hill Destiny decays when character declines. The Athenian statesman, Critias, said: “If you discipline yourself within, you will be less vulnerable to injury from outside.” In life, you need more than a willing spirit to fulfill destiny; you need a conquered flesh. Self-discipline is the ability to do what is right even if you don’t feel like it. Living a principle-centered life is the hallmark of winners. Great people are greatly principled. The core secret of winners is held up in the belief that to go up in life, there are things to give up. There are two ways of learning in life: By ‘instruction’ or by ‘destruction.’ Winners don’t just show up suddenly; they are all products of a rigorous and disciplined system. Alan Armstrong said: “Champions do not become champions when they win the event, but in hours, weeks, months and years, they spend preparing for it. The victorious performance itself is merely ...

𝑹𝒆𝒂𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒔𝒉𝒂𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒇 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒄𝒂𝒏... Few days ago it was 2019, now it's 2020 and I believe so many of us must have made their own new year resolutions; that's awesome. But let's look at this; did you actually live by all of your last year's resolutions? How about the goals you set for last year, did you achieve them all? Sometimes it's not always about having new year resolutions, especially the ones you cannot stay true to. The truth is that some people make these resolutions just because they hear others talking of their own different resolutions, that's nonsense. New year resolutions are not bad to have, it's awesome, but then, don't resolve because others are doing same, if you must make resolutions do so because you saw a genuine reason to do it, do not make resolutions you can't stay true to. Look back at the past years and the resolutions you attached to them, how many of those resolutions did you actu...

Never mistake a shovel for a spade... Yeah, both look similar but very different. Same thing applies to movement and progress. The fact that you're spending time on whatever you're doing doesn't mean you're making progress in life; don't get me wrong! "The speed of movement and distance covered doesn't count once you begin rowing towards the wrong direction". How would you look at an engineering student who misses his lectures just to attend medical students' lectures? Or a person who's actual destination is Enugu but decides to enter a bus heading to Lagos??? Of course he's making a movement, but that doesn't mean that there's a progress tag on his actual aim. People at home might think there's progress on his journey, but is that actually true?? He will arrive Lagos, which is actually better than Enugu in terms of development, but does that grant him a successful journey, NO! The journey is only successful if y...

I feel good you know; I feel nice... 🤪🤪🤪 Was I singing??? No I wasn't, just trying to introduce one of the dream killers I know; "Comfort zone".  That feeling of excess relaxation, feeling that all is okay as long as you have enough to sponsor your three square meals, your fees are covered, maybe you don't lack any basics in life. Let me think🤔, is life only about the basic amenities and necessities, of course not. There's more to life than just having basic amenities. If life was only about the normalities then they wouldn't be anything like extraordinary; if you didn't have any need to make a difference in this world then there would have been no need for your existence. Maybe you think you were born just to prevent your mom from being called " childless ". Or maybe just to preserve your family name. If that's all you're here to do on Earth then your existence is not necessary. You were born for a purpose far beyond f...

🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬🇳🇬 And here comes, "yet another period of national day celebration". The day we remember the struggles, sacrifices and success of the long-gone generation. That was the generation that was always ready to give all they could for the advancement of their nation. But what do we have 59 years after their dream was manifested and their struggles paid off? All we have is a nation who's pride lies in overpopulation and past glory, a nation with a failed government and pseudo-democracy, a nation where every election/swearing in is an inauguration of yet another set of pocket-concious politicians. We're left with a nation where tribalism, corruption and terrorism is the order of the day, even the government is already a threat to it's citizens.       But then, in the presence of a failed government, are we just going to fold our hands as citizens and watch the country get worse as the day goes by? OF COURSE NOT! It's ...

Being able to stop procrastinating can completely start to change your life around for the better. Procrastination occurs when you have something to do, you know you should be doing it, but for one reason or another, you’re not doing it. This can be a habit that can literally destroy your life if you don’t take control of it. This article will be about why we procrastinate as well as give you some tips to help you take action more often in order to achieve your goals and get done what needs to get done. What Causes Procrastination? Before you can stop procrastination, you first need to understand what causes it in the first place. It’s actually quite simple. The reason why we do or don’t do anything comes down to two things: Pain and Pleasure . Everything we do comes down to either avoiding pain or gaining pleasure. Let me give you an example. Have you ever procrastinated on studying or writing a term paper? Of course you have. But why do we do this when we know it’...

If you can do what you love for a living, life will be a lot less stressful and a hell of a lot more fun. (Lisa B., 41) A smile is one of the few contagious things that you should spread. So spread it to everyone! (Marcie W., 27) Never be too proud to ask for help (especially for directions, ahem). (Ashley V., 23) Avoid pulling all-nighters. They’re no fun and too much Red Bull is no good for you. (David S., 20) We regret more about the things we didn’t do than the things we did do. Get out of yourself and just do it. (Will W., 36) Stop trying to impress people by being someone you’re not because in the end, you’ll lose yourself. (Anonymous) We don’t have to do anything – we always have a choice. (Tim W., 38) The best feeling in the world is getting paid to do what you love to do. (Laozhang, 36) No one can make you feel anything you don’t want to. (Jennifer K., 28) The older I get, the less I care about what others think of me. Therefore, the older I get, the mor...

LIFE AND YOUR TIMEFRAME, Everyone has their own life calender specially prepared by God; so don't feel bad when your colleagues succeed before you, just do your best and wait on God.  The article is a big-time eye opener that you can't afford to miss. By: Aghaedah, Tochukwu Oti       The word "life" is one unique element in this world. It is the only period/opportunity that man has to achieve all he desires to achieve and it comes only in one phase. Once it is gone it can never be retrieved except by god's special intervention through miracle. So many might believe in reincarnation but it's just nothing but a piece of superstitious belief, even the Bible stated that after death comes judgement, therefore, any second phase of life can only be experienced at your place of eternity, i.e., either in heaven or hell. Life on earth has only but one phase, it has no part/season 2, therefore, strive to achieve the best you can while you have the opportunity, ...

Finding Your Purpose Finding your purpose Do you know what is driving you? Why are you working so hard and doing so much to get what you want? Do you know your purpose for being here? Whatever your dreams may be and whatever you want to achieve, it is important to analyse the reasons for those things. The reasons for what you want to have and to achieve are your “why.” Your why is intimately tied to your purpose in life. Finding your purpose – the reasons for achievement It seems strange that most of the time we wonder through life without any real purpose of our own. At times we do achieve great things and have the appearance of having a wonderful life. We may even have every material thing we could ever want and be successful at our careers, businesses and every thing else. But, as many who have achieved success will tell you, you can still feel empty inside and your life can still lack real meaning. Imagine, for a moment, that you have achieved your dreams. You...

What do you want to do with your life? It’s a question almost everyone asks themselves. It’s also a question  I don’t believe you should bother asking in the first place. “I don’t know what I want to do in life, all I know is that  it isn’t this .” That was the sentiment a friend reflected to me. She’s in her mid-twenties, smart, savvy and hard working. But she is still stuck working jobs that don’t hover much beyond minimum wage. Every year, she tells me, that she applies for Universities, but never goes through with it.  Why?  Because she can’t answer that question. Passion Evolves I worry a lot of people fall into the same trap. The trap of believing that they need to make big life decisions before they can start doing anything. The trap that you need to be born with a passion. And the lie that being able to combine your interests with a profession is easy. When people ask me what I’m going to be doing in five or ten years, I usually tell them I’m goin...
