500. The 4 Crucial Advantages of Personal Numbers

One can never over-emphasise the power of numbers in life. All around us, we are governed by numbers. Our performance and productivity; and indeed, our very existence in life is governed by numbers.

What we ought to do is to become intentional about this. It is easy for us to track and recite numbers of our favourite athletes and sports personalities. It is easy for us to track numbers for business and even for the companies we are employed at.

Where the rubber meets the road is when we come to terms with our very own numbers at a personal level. That is when we shall see revolutions in our lives. Listen to this.

499. You Want To Accelerate The Attainment of Your Goals. Have Numbers

The New Year will always be that one single time that all of creation stands in awe of life and has heightened hopes. It gives us a psychological "new start", if you will.

Part of what billions of people around the globe do is to decide and resolve. We call this "New Year Resolutions". Of course, many a motivational speaker will tell you that the resolutions do not last.

Why is that? The answer is simple. There is lack of numbers. Measures, metrics and statistics are great in governing decisions and resolves. Without these, the decision will be an emotional high that will lack the power to prevail when things get tough.

That's why numbers are important. Listen to this.

498. How Numbers Help us Stay on Course With A Vision

It is one thing to have a vision and quite another to have the vision fulfilled. It is one thing to have purpose and quite another thing to pull through a day of drudgery where the inspiration of the purpose is not there.

This is where numbers, measures and metrics come in. At the individual level, it is important to run our lives with some measures and metrics. It is important for us to have statistics that govern our lives.

Without personal statistics, we are like a ship on the sea with no direction to go. It is just tossed up and about and ends up wherever place. The numbers do something unique to our vision. Listen to this.

497. The Importance of Having Personal Statistics in Life

A friend of mine says that "Growth is not the default mode of operation in the human...drifting is". I totally agree. If you will not be intentional about anything in life, there is a pretty high chance that that thing will not see the light of the day.

That is where numbers come in. It is easy for us to track stats for players, business entities, athletes and so on. It is quite another for us to have our own personal statistics to track. Numbers are critical in our growth and development for they help us to see where we can change.

496. If You Were To Just Track One Set of Numbers in Your Life, This is It

Life is defined by numbers. We might not have given attention to that fact, but it is what it is. Everywhere you look, numbers are there to define life. When you talk about performance, you cannot do so without the help of numbers. In fact, if your performance is not governed by numbers in any way, there is no knowing how much you can do and how far you still have to go. Much as we track numbers for sports teams and sports personalities, we only realise late on that this trait can be flipped and used in our own individual lives. When we start tracking ourselves and how we are doing in life, we will go places in terms of our potential and our performance. Listen to this.

Numbers warn, they instruct, they inform. They tell us how far we have come and how far we are yet to go. They gauge our performance.

I think where the rubber meets the road is when we will start agreeing about numbers in our individual lives. What are our personal stats? If we can answer this question, we are well on the way. Listen to this.

494. The Power of Statistics in Revolutionising Relationships

Let me ask you a question. Who out there does not want a sizzling, romantic, rewarding and fulfilling relationship? We are all built to want love and tenderness and care, to feel that we are wanted and needed and appreciated.

However, if we will only transact our relationships based on feelings, woowoo, spirit, romance, lovey-dovey and flowering feelings, that relationship will hit rock bottom faster than a tonne of stone thrown in the sea.

Introducing numbers! Yes, you heard that right. Numbers do not lie, they tell us. Numbers govern even where feelings have stopped...and someone aptly said, "You can act yourself into feeling more than you can feel yourself into acting".

Here is how personal statistics can make a difference in your relationships.

The funny thing is that if I asked people about the numbers of their sports teams, they will give them to me adequately and eloquently. But when I ask them about their own numbers, they will stare blankly at me like a cow on a new gate.

Let's face it: Statistics are a very critical part of life especially in terms of productivity. That is why I am advocating for individuals to start adopting and even having a lifestyle of tracking their personal stats.

We can do this in different areas of life that we want improvement. I can tell you this though: that there is no improvement in life without taking care of numbers. Listen to this.

Sports fans track their teams numbers. They track the numbers of individual performers. Whenever a record is broken, numbers are always in play. It is a momentous occasion.

I would to God that we would track our individual numbers with the same fanaticism that we do sports and business and government things. When a recession happens, it happens in your house, with your individual numbers.

490. The 7 Elements of Life That Helps To Live A Life of Legacy

If you wanted to leave a life of legacy, there are some things that you need to be aware of. Legacy first off, is not something that you can legislate. Legacy is an overflow of a life well lived. When you are gone, what people say about you positively is your legacy.

Today is the day that you need to put some things in perspective so that legacy becomes something that is an offshoot of your life, not something that you have to worry about.

In this episode, I share in summary form, 7 critical pillars of a life of legacy. The other succeeding episodes have already expounded the individual pillars. Listen to this.

489. Why A Life of Contribution Impacts Us To Leave A Legacy

There is happiness on one hand and then there is fulfillment on the other. Happiness is fleeting and just on the surface. But that is not to say that it is not important.

Fulfillment is deep, long lasting and it is stuff of legacy. Our pursuits in life should rather be for fulfillment that for happiness. Some people normally say that happiness is a decision. You can decide to be happy regardless of what's happening.

But fulfillment is a result of your life being lived circumspect. That is why a life of legacy is important. What can you do to experience that life? Listen to this.

488. The Importance of Persistence In Building a Life of Legacy

In his very last speech, Martin Luther King said something very profound. "Longevity is not something that I am concerned about...I just want to do God's will"

He said. "I have been to the mountain top and I have seen the promised land. I might not get there with you, but we as a people, we shall get there".

We celebrate him every year as his legacy is talked about to succeeding generations. What made him have that legacy? There are several things that I have already alluded to in the previous episodes.

Today, we add one more thing that is critical to having a life of legacy. Without this, there is no having a life of legacy. Listen in.

487. The Catalyst That is Excellence In Building A Life of Legacy

One of the ways to build a life of legacy is to build a life of excellence. They normally tell us that "cleanliness is next to godliness", but I will tell you that "Excellence is godliness".

There is no one in the entire creation that ever create a life of legacy living without excellence. It is not an easy thing to have excellence because it is costly. It will cost you not just an arm and a leg, it will cost you everything.

But that is how you build legacy. Listen to this.

486. Why Uniqueness and Difference Are Important In Building A Life of Legacy

In building a life of legacy, there are some aspects of life that have to be looked at. If you studied big time visionaries that have a life of legacy, you will notice a common denominator around them.

Much as they might not have gone out to specifically create a legacy, you will notice that there are some things that run in their character as they lived that led them to leave a legacy behind.

One of those things is leaning on their uniqueness in life...no one ever created a legacy in life by doing things that did not exemplify their difference. Listen to this.

485. The Critical Importance of Systems in Building A Life of Legacy

Legacy is something that every human being should think about. Unfortunately, we can find ourselves so steeped in trying to eke out a living that at the time we exit the earth, there is nothing to write home about.

To create a life of legacy, we have to be deliberate about it. There is no knowing how that legacy will look like and to what extent it will reach. However, for us to have the legacy, we have to be intentional about it.

One of the ways to do it is to create a system that will govern our daily productivity endeavors. Listen to this.

484. Don't Worry About Your Legacy, Ask This Question Instead

📣 New #Podcast!

It is a waste of time to worry about how you will be buried, where you will be buried, what people will eat at your funeral and who will preach at the service.

By extension, we might find ourselves caught up in the thoughts of what kind of legacy we shall have. You see, legacy will always take care of itself, it will have it's own dimension that you cannot legislate.

However, you can do something that contributes towards that legacy. You can design it or can determine where exactly you want to be remembered in terms of a niche. How you will be remembered is another ball game altogether, something that you are not in control of.

483. Trying To Build Legacy? Listen To This

Legacy. What a fresh thought. I know that every one born of a woman will leave a legacy. The question we have to grapple with is this: what kind of legacy will it be?

I know it is counter-intuitive to be thinking about the kind of legacy you will have. What happens with legacy is that it will take care of itself. Probably what you think your legacy will be might not necessarily be what people will have in remembrance of you.

483. The 5 Ways To Balance The Law of Attraction

If you haven't watched "The Law of Attraction", popularly packaged as "The Secret", you need to do so. Just go to YouTube and check out for it.

You will be inspired, no doubt. However, I am more for transformation that is sustained than just an inspiration that is fleeting.

The Secret taught very pertinent things in life. However, I do believe that the crucial aspects of life were not given prominence. I do understand that the message was supposed to go out.

The problem is that without what I consider the "back-end" of The Secret, what you are looking for in life will not be sustained. Is it any wonder that the craze died down?

Listen to this.

481. This is What The Law of Attraction Will Never Circumnavigate

The Law of Attraction and The Secret had very beautiful topics to cover. First, it was about our thoughts. That thoughts become things. Then we were taught about virtualisation.

We were taught about monitoring our feelings for they reveal our thoughts. We will not throw away the baby with the bath water, but I am sorry to say that what the Law of Attraction teachers left out is the most critical.

In this episode, we take a look at what was left out that you need to include in your pursuit of life and achievement. Listen to this.

480. If You Are Pursuing 'The Secret' And You Lack This, You Won't Make It

I know one thing: That there is not a single formula for success and achievement. It is contextual and varies from one person to another even in application.

That being said, there are some common denominators are critical in the success equation. These are universally accepted and applicable, that if we do away with them, we wont make it.

That is why when I introduce to you something else that I call a secret, you have to be careful in application of the same. If at all it ignores any of these common denominators, you are in for trouble.

That's why "The Law of Attraction" has to be put on the spot today. Listen to this.

479. Why The Law of Attraction Works Not

We will always be looking for what works. We want what can help us with efficiency and effectiveness. In fact, you will excuse us for wanting to achieve things faster.

The reason why many people delved into "The Secret" and "The Law of Attraction" was that it promised some of these things.
It never focused on hard work, blood, sweat and tears. In fact, it taught that nature is about harmony and manifestation. That is until people started realizing that something was off.

There are critical aspects in the equation of success and achievement that must be in place as you are using The Law of Attraction. In today's episode, we discuss one of those. Listen to this.

478. The Critical Aspect of Life That The Law of Attraction Missed

When "The Secret" came out in 2006, there was a world-wide craze about it. People wanted to know it and wanted to use it. That's a given, because human beings will always want to find the better way of doing things.

I keep repeating that we cannot throw away the baby with the bath water. There are powerful teachings in there about money, about thoughts and about visualization. We learn that what we focus on becomes our reality.

However, we miss a lot when we think that The secret and The Law of Attraction are all you need in order to succeed. Here is why that's a lie.

477. Why The Law of Attraction and 'The Secret' Doesn't Work

Why doesn't the Law of Attraction work? Is it working for you? I know for a fact that for a season now, the craze about "The Secret" and the Law of Attraction has tapered off. Why would that be the case?

There are very great merits around The Law of Attraction as it was taught. However, I have realized in life that if someone tells you that life has only one answer, you have to think twice. Unless of course we are talking religion.

However, when we are talking about success, growth, development, achieving our desires and so on, there is no one answer, there is no one secret.

I explore further why I think there is little craze with the Law of Attraction anymore. Listen to this.

476. Debunking The Myth Of The Law of Attraction

Let me ask you a question. Are you using the "Law of Attraction" in your life? Sometime back in the year 2006/7 thereabouts, "The Secret" documentary was unleashed to the world.

It promised us that "thoughts become things", which is a fact. It promised us that what we visualise, we attract. It is also a fact. The question is: How come the same intensity of the craze we had about it has faded?

How come we are looking for "other secrets" in life? If indeed this was the secret, shouldn't everything we do in life revolve around it? Well unfortunately not. This is one reason why.

470. The Power of 'The Impact of Our Lives' In Making Us Even Better Humans

We can easily live a flipped life where the things we are chasing after with all the urgency and strength are not those that we need to chase after all.

The sad part is that we only realize this late on once we have achieved what we thought we must. That's when the feeling of emptiness comes.

The worst of it all is when we have packed 6, 7, or 8 decades in life thinking that the priorities in life are all about us. And then it hits us.

468. Two Extreme States We Can Learn From Today

There is a great sandwich in life. You are in the present, but you also have a past, and yet the future beckons. What we do today determines how the future will be, but what we do today benefits from the intelligence of both yesterday and tomorrow.

Living in these two extremes is done through reflection and visioneering. It can be an absolutely powerful way to gain the much needed intelligence to do life with. Otherwise, we risk doing life as if we are on autopilot, something that the human being was never created to do.
