Where are your works?

Two years ago, I needed to upgrade my social network and in order to do so, I had to look around for an influential figure that would serve as a mentor for me.

Honestly, the search wasn't easy but I was able to get the attention of one of Nigeria's top trainer and consultant.

And of course, looking for a man that influential was one thing and getting his attention was another thing. In a future post, I will share about how I succeeded in getting his attention.

But when I finally got to meet him, he shocked me with the question, "where are your works?"

At first I didn't seem to understand what he meant until he said ............

Have you heard about the story of a man who was faced with a problem and right under his nose was the solution to his problem? In case you haven't heard about the story, I will briefly share it with you.

Many years ago before diamonds began to be mined, a young man inherited a land full of diamonds from his father After inheriting this large piece of land, he began to pride himself as influential because in those days, people are rated based on the size of their land. Although this man happen to have a large piece of land, he finds it difficult to feed himself because he had no money.

One day while he was meditating on his land,

Wow, 2018 has almost ended but before you draw up that New Year resolution or your goals for 2019, I would like you to take a journey many don’t like taking.

It’s been said that “the journey of a thousand mile begins with a step” and for your own good its best you begin the first step in the right direction.

The year 2019 is filled with so many opportunities to exploit but you can only access these opportunities if you begin the journey into 2019 in the right direction.

What step then should you take first that would lead you in the right direction? The first step that would make 2019 a fruitful and memorable year for you will be taking a step into self-discovery.

It’s so sad that many have good plans for themselves but the plans haven’t come into fruition because their effort is been sabotaged by themselves.

Many have been drafting goals and New Year resolutions whenever it’s time to go into a New Year, however, when they finally enter the New Year, they found out that they weren’t able to actualize any of the goals.

The reason the goals, the New Year resolutions and aspirations haven’t been actualized by you is because you are too focused on the hardware of your life while paying little attention to the software. No matter how big your dreams are, they will only remain dreams if you don’t work on your software.

Did I hear you say, what’s this dude saying?

Which one is software and hardware again? How do they determine my future?

Don’t worry, I will take you on this journey of self-discovery and open you up to ways you can self-actualize in 2019 starting from tomorrow 31st December, 2018.

In other to walk on this journey with me, I would like you to join my facebook group with the name Samblaque Network. It’s a leadership network where individuals are built into leaders.

KEEP STANDING

Warren Buffet once said “No matter how great the talent or efforts, some things just take time. You can’t produce a baby in one month by just getting nine women pregnant”. Great achievements are not easy to come by because it requires a price to be paid.

One book I love dearly says “having done all things, stand” and this can be interpreted to mean “having expounded all energy, stand”, “having done all is required, stand”. I could hear someone say “I have done all I know but it’s not working”, please my advice is “stick to it”. I could hear some other person say “I have put in all the resources into my career or business but nothing is working”, my advice remains “stick to it”.

There is a story about a young man who fell in love with a beautiful young lady. His love for her so consumed him that he could not sleep for many weeks and because his lack of sleep has started taking a toll on his health, he made a decision to go and speak to her.

The following day, he waited on her at a particular junction he had always seen her ply and after some few minutes of waiting, she passed by. As she passed by, he beckoned on her and told her he would like to have a brief discussion with her.

At first she was surprised because this was the first time someone would seek her attention and not waiting to hear what the guy had to say, she asked him a stupid but intelligent question “How did you see me?”

The guy was dumb because to him the question looks stupid but because of his quest to win her love, he agreed to look stupid for the moment and replied her by saying “I was able to see you because I have two eyes”. The lady laughed out loudly and told the guy “eyes that look are more but eyes that see are few” and as she turned to take her leave the guy ran before her, now on his knees, he begged her to hear what he had to say.

Out of pity she listened to what he had to say and when he was done, she revealed her identity to him saying “I’m the goddess of wealth and I’ve been sent from my kingdom to give wealth to anyone who is ready to pay the price”.

At this point, the guy’s interest doubled because he realizes now that once he can get her, he has automatically gained wealth; so he asked her what he had to do to get the both of them. The lady told her that the only way he could get her and the wealth was that she would have to become human and once she becomes human, she will change into a little girl and he must raise her till when she is ripe for marriage.

Without thinking deeply, he agreed to pay the price and immediately the girl turned into human and became a toddler. Looking left and right to be sure if anyone was looking, he carried her, took her to his house and began to raise her like his child.

After taking care of her for seven years, he was ready to give up because he has almost exhausted his resources. He didn’t know that all he needed to break-even and begin to get wealth was for the girl to become eight years old. The girl actually set this time because she realized that it takes only a determined man to wait that long and not quit. The guy not privy to this information, decided that since he has come this far, he is not ready to give up the resources he has invested in her.

On the night preceding day she would clock eight years, something mysterious happened. There was a heavy rainfall like nothing that have ever been seen before in the history of mankind and as heavy as this rainfall was, no one in the neighbourhood knew about it because the gods put them all to sleep.

The flood moved valuables (gold and diamonds) from different houses and transported them to the guy’s house and the flood disappeared. When he woke up, he almost ran mad by what he saw and not understanding what was happening, he raced down to see if the girl was still in his house. As he opened the door, he saw that the girl has grown into a matured beautiful damsel and he said “finally my investment has paid off”.

History do not remember men and women who quit but will always remember men and women who stood their ground when there was no reason to keep standing.

STEP INTO IT

Thinking deeply on this topic took me back into a scene that happened many centuries ago where I could hear the voice of a great leader asking the almighty God for the next action to take. The people he was leading were mounting huge pressure on him, thereby causing his soul to be wearied.

He looks to the heavens from where his help comes from because he was now at a cross road betwixt life and death. I forgot to tell you how he found himself in this situation and I’m glad I remembered early enough so that you can have a full grasp of my discourse.

The man is referred to be one of the greatest leaders who have ever touched the face of the earth because he was daring. He was daring enough to challenge a high class dictator such as Pharaoh when no one dare not to do so. He was man enough to lead millions of people out of the jaws of a beastly and inhuman character like Pharaoh and this has made these millions of people to look on him as their saviour.

He has made these millions of people hope again when they previously have lost all hope and now he is at the centre of the stage being watched by millions of eyes.

To the multitudes who have gained freedom from a lifetime of slavery, they see him as a being who is in a class all by himself. They marvelled at his bravery and the confidence he exudes when he negotiated their release from their taskmasters and now their hope of getting to their destination hinges on his leadership.

As long as he keeps moving, they kept moving but along the way they all found themselves in between two choices in which one has to be taken. They either go back into slavery or they move ahead into the red sea.

At this point, the one who gave them hope was now being perceived as their undoing just because they have come face to face with a resistance. They fail to realise that every achievement is preceded by a resistance and this resistance was stationed right at that spot to cause men with great dreams and aspirations to give up.

This man Moses was confused and clueless at this point because right behind him he could hear the sound of the Egyptian chariots and before him was a great sea known as the red sea. He was helpless and decided to seek help from the all-powerful being and all he could hear from this all-powerful being is “TELL THEM TO STEP INTO IT”.

At this point he lost it and almost lost his belief in this all powerful being but when he looked back, he saw his testimonies and how this powerful being had helped him, courage came into him and he took the first step into the sea. As he took the step, the multitudes followed him and as they step into the sea, these seemingly mighty ocean which was seen as a barrier parted and they passed through into freedom.

I challenge you to step into that mighty ocean that is in front of you because all you need to get what you want is to step in. Would you do like David who accidentally met Goliath and went for him or will you be like King Saul who was terrified by Goliath.

This Goliath before you which is a typical representation of the mighty ocean or barrier before you must be defeated for you to become who you are destined to be. The reason you are afraid of starting that business is because you don’t have money but why not start it anyway and see how provisions will come around.

One of my mentors in the person of Seun Oyetunji once said to me “provision is for men of vision who are on a mission”. The provision you need for your vision will not come until you take that first step and look you barrier in the eye. Don’t you know that fear flees when it sees courage staring at it?

I watched a video on youtube some months ago about some group of men who stole a meat right from the mouth of a pride of lion. These group of men are called Dorobo hunters or Massai men and they hail from Kenya. They say in my native land “no one dares take a meat from the mouth of a lion” but these three guys called the Dorobo hunters confronted these lions and stole their meat.

These lions saw courage in these eyes of these men and left their prey because fear cannot stand courage. I challenge you today to step into that barrier in front of you with a daring courage and you will see that all that has been stopping you from achieving your dream is just a four letter word called “FEAR”. I challenge you to “STEP INTO IT”.
