557. How Daily Acts of Love Generally Lead To A Better Life
Success and a life of legacy are always in the vicinity, or at least we have around us a place where we can start crafting it. The most oblivious thing that we are blessed with is the day. It is in the day that we can find solutions.
The greatest question that we must answer each day is this: What good did I do today? If there are positive answers to this question, we are well on our way. In this episode, we look at one more thing that we can do today that can lead us to success.
Listen to this.

556. Did I Do Today What I Was Created To do. Why This Power Question Is Important
The most forgotten day is today. Why? Because it might not give us the instant breakthroughs that we are looking for in life in order to be successful. The fact that we might not get paid today does not mean that it should go to waste.
Success is brought about by faithfulness in expending efforts each day that we are alive and healthy. Without effort, forget about success. Without patience with process, forget about success.
Therefore, our question remains the same: What can we do today that is good and will contribute to the success and the legacy that we desire?
Listen to this.
555. Even If You Did Not Earn Today, This Is One Thing Worth Doing Daily
Someone said that if I were to see success in your life, it would be found in what you are doing daily. They meant that each day consistently taken specific action on constitutes success eventually.
An effort a day can be something that can easily be taken for granted. Probably there will be no major reward in the day. No earning. No contract. No connection. However, that activity that you have done, that effort that you have expended cannot be counted as nothing just because there was no pay in it.
The question we need to answer is this: What good can you do today? Or better yet, What good did I do today? Listen to this.
554. Success Through An Effort A Day. Why Everyone is Invited
Success in life can have as many meanings as there are people who are seeking it. True success though is never attained acutely or big bang. It always is going to take time and process.
The most oblivious thing that we are aware of about success is the day. That 24 hour period. What we look for success outside of the day could not necessarily be available. However, around us we have the day, and whatever effort we expend on that day will eventually result into the success we seek.

553. Why An Effort A Day Is The Most Forgotten Power Today
Ask different people about their opinion on the most sinister word in the English language and you will definitely get different answers. It depends on people's belief systems and their values...but also on what they see in their productivity.
For me, the most sinister word is the word "oblivious". It tells me that all that I needed to be successful could be around me, but all along I am looking for the expensive, the complicated, the spectacular and the elusive green card.
All along, the answer is around or within me. Listen to this.
552. Here Is The Secret To Achieve Just About ANYTHING You Desire In Life
What If I told you that EVERYTHING you an I needed to be successful in life is already available around us and within us? What would you say?
Someone said that the secret to life is what we do daily. The key therefore is what you and I have: A day. We both do have that advantage every 24 hours. It is what we do in terms of efforts that will contribute to our success.
For a day to count, we have to have the spine to ignore the words and perfections of the critics. Without you, the critic would not have his life anyway. Listen to this.
551. The 6 Reasons Why Vision Is Important To Children
Do not be fooled that the language of "vision" is only applicable to "mature" adults, and as such, children cannot have vision. If we think that way, we ought to blame the way we were raised up.
Where there is no vision, people perish. Certainly, one of the most potent things we can ever give our children, one critical weapon for success in life is a life with a vision. In fact, the only thing that we need to do is to emphasize it.
We need not teach them, we just need to help the catch it, for it is already there. Here are 6 reasons why it is important. Listen to this.

550. Why We Need To Teach Children the Vision of Serving Humanity
At times parents make vows that their children will never go through the same "hardship" that they went through. And so we go through great lengths to make sure that they are shielded from our perceived hardships.
At the end of the day, there is a way in which we deprive them of the vision to serve humanity. One of the greatest things we can leave in our children is vision. Since vision is always outward looking to other people, there is a way that it can help people to serve humanity.
Listen to this.
549. How Vision Galvanizes A Child's Selection of Partners
Someone said that what you leave to a child is not as critical as what you live inside a child. In other words, if you put vision in them, it would be much more potent and critical than leaving them with things they can touch and feel, minus vision.
What vision does is to compel them and constrict them. The child with immense vision would not worry you about the company of people that they are going to keep. Friends, business partners, lovers and so on will be sieved through that vision.
Listen to this.
548. Why Vision is The Seed of Productivity For Your Child
There could be a slight difference between productivity and performance. One can lead to another but one can do one and not get another.
The seed for productivity in the life of a human being is vision. If you were to give a child one potent weapon to make it in this life, that weapon will have to do with vision. There could be many other things that we can give them but without vision, they will struggle.
Listen to this.

547. If Your Child Tells You They are 'Bored', They Lack This
The Bible says that without vision people perish. They cast off restraint. It's true. I do believe that the worst thing you can do for a child is to give them a parent with no vision either for themselves or for that child.
The opposite is also true. The best thing you can do for a child is to give them vision of the best possible outcome, and also have a vision for yourself as a parent, guardian, or anyone in authority over that child.
When your child tells you that they are bored, it is a sign that you have not given them vision or created an environment for engagement of any vision, however big or small. Listen to this.
546. Why Vision Is Important For Legacy In A Child's Life
Children are impressionable and malleable. Just about the same way that religious people are but let me not digress. My point is that it is possible for a child to follow course that they have been put on and go through it in absolute trust and blindness. Yikes!
So when we tell our children to study hard so that they can get a job and escape hardship and poverty, guess what? That is exactly what they do by the billions around the world.
Who takes time to cast vision for them? Vision for leadership? Impact? Transformation of the world? Creation and invention and innovation of things? If we don't do this, the default takes shape. They grow up to "Make it in life" whatever that means. Listen to this.
545. Why Having Vision As A Parent or Guardian Helps Your Children
Can you remember as you grew up when people spoke highly of you? When they said that you have a promise and great potential? What did that do to you? Of course it inspired you.
If you do not remember that part, you know exactly what you missed. Unfortunately there are those who remember the complete opposite. They were told that they would not amount to anything. It must have affected them. Just a few escape from this projection and build exemplary lives.
Vision is critical in the life of a child. Listen to this.

544. The Most Potent Weapon Children Need
You can never fail to talk passionately about children. They represent potential and possibility more than any age group in life. The represent malleability, pliability and ease of shaping.
If you asked different people about the most important thing that you can give children, you will probably get different answers. I saw a friend asking for any three books that you can recommend for your son. Different answers were given.
I tend to believe though that there is one most potent thing that will shape the destinies of children. It is the power of vision. Listen to this.
543. The 6 Top Decisions For An Effective Life
At the end of the day, the quality of life we live is directly connected to the quality of decisions we make. Granted, we unconsciously make decisions on a daily basis.
However, there are a pocket of decisions that need to be made intentionally, deliberately, consciously, instantly and incessantly in order to direct the kind of life that we would love to live.
If you asked different people, they will probably tell you different things about those decisions. Here is a summary of the 6 top decisions that I think we should be making in life. Listen to this.
542. The Critical Importance of Making Decisions About Our Health
We live and transact in a body. Technically, we are spirits, but no spirit operates on earth without a body. That makes the body one of the most fundamental aspects of life.
It is therefore important for us to make critical decisions regarding our health. The key decision is not just to maintain health and to be healthy. We need to go a step further and make sure that we are healthier as the years progress.
Well, just like the previous points already shared, no one will ever be healthier unless they make a decision about it. Listen to this.

541. The Decision To Collaborate and How Critical It Is To Life
The growth and development of the individual person can be attributed to not very many things, but just a few pillars here and there. One of the main things that will necessitate one's growth, improvement and development is the habit of making instant, constant and fast decisions.
It goes without saying. There are not so many decisions that one needs to make. I am talking about the major decisions that we need to effect in our lives. Just a few of them are important. Of them, there is the decision to collaborate with men and women of like passions that will go a mighty long way.
Listen to how this is important.
539. This is One of The Most Powerful Decisions You Can Ever Make
There comes a time in life when we have to make a decision concerning how our lives will go. Unless that moment comes, nothing happens. The default mode of life is not growth, it is always drifting.
That is why decision-making is one critical aspect of life. What we do not have can be brought about by making a conscious decision. That's where the rubber meets the road.
In this episode, we look at one of those decisions that you need to make in life. This is absolutely powerful. Listen.
540. Why The Decision To Increase Your Capacity Can Be of Great Advantage To You
One of the characteristics of the human race is that we are always predisposed to improve. We have gone through one revolution and another and still when you look at the projections in robotics, AI, Nano tech and so on, we can still be better.
Take a look at it from the individual perspective. There is a great chance that I can be a better man. I can be a better father, husband, CEO and so on. This, however, does not happen arbitrarily. There has to be a conscious choice made towards that.
In this episode, we talk about one more powerful decision that you can make in your life that will be beneficial to you for years to come. Listen to this.

538. The Decision To Reflect and Its Impact To Our lives
There is one major thing that we can do daily that can impact the quality of life that we live. You notice that on a daily basis, from the moment we are awake, we are thinking all the while about activities. We want to do this and that. Tackle this and that. Solve this and that.
In between, there are many distractions and detours that we need to handle. Before you know it, the day is gone, well spent. We find that we have not had some time to just be reflective, be quiet and be meditative to consider our lives.
And yet the decision to do this can be very instrumental in the quality of life that we are going to have. Listen to this.
537. The Power of Decisions In Shaping Our Destinies
When it comes to forging forward in life, one person said that it could be simple...and yet not necessarily easy. All of us have the wherewithal that we need to make changes and transformation in life. It is within us or around us.
There is one major ingredient that shapes the way our destinies will look like. That one thing is simple: Decision making. Think about it for a minute: Before you make any decision on anything, things remain the same. The moment a decision is made, changes start being effected.
Indecision therefore is one of the biggest problems we face for individual transformation. Listen to this.
536. We Are Not Having The Breakthroughs We Need Because of This
There could be many things available either within us or around us that would be the starting points of our breakthroughs. If you are talking about health, wealth, relationships, businesses and so on, the biggest mistake we make is to think that the breakthrough lies elsewhere.
The truth is that we could be oblivious of what seeds of breakthrough are around us and we just ignore. There is only one thing that we have to do...and it is simply to make a decision. Listen to this.

535. How To Write Down Your Vision Part 2
You can have your vision written down in less than an hour, actually in less than 15 minutes. You know why? Because you already know what it is. It is not foreign to you. It is not something outside of you. It is not even complicated.
What is keeping you from not having your personal vision written down is simply a decision. Probably you do not feel so comfortable and confident enough to craft the vision and follow through. Probably you are afraid that what you will come up with would be wrong.
Well, if that is your fear, then how do you compare what you are afraid to come up with with what you already are living under? Listen to this.
534. How To Write Down Your Vision Part 1
W. Clement Stone said that "definiteness of purpose" is the beginning of all forms of success, something like that. This means that it is important for individuals (that's what I am drawn to) to determine what their life will be all about.
Frankly, people think that coming up with a personal vision is one of the most complicated things. It is not. We all have passion, desires, wishes and so on...and those give us a hint of what our personal vision in life could be about. Listen to this and learn how easy it is to come up with your vision.
533. The 6 Ways To Propel Your Vision Into Fruition
Like a broken record, let me say this: Coming up with a vision is the easiest part. In fact, that can be done in a sitting of 15 minutes, I kid you not! If you do not have a personal vision, you are only 15 minutes away from crafting one.
Make a decision and do it. What is the difficult part is what follows after you have crafted the vision. To bring it to fruition is the most critical part and perhaps the difficult part. That is one major reason why people would rather not have a personal vision. Listen to this.

532. You Have A burning Vision and A Job Offer. What Do you Do?
The fact is that working on your long term personal vision is not the only option that you do have in life. There will be very many opportunities for you to work on other people's vision.
Heck, most people do that for their entire lives. However, in the wake of the uncertainties in life, and in the availability of different options, what do you do when you have to make your vision a reality? Do you work on your vision or you take up someone else's vision (get employed?)
How do you navigate that? Listen to this.
531. Why Patience is Critical In The Realization of Personal Vision
One of the greatest reasons as to why people would rather be employed than work on their vision is impatience. A job gives you instant cash in 30 days. Your vision gives you no promise, at times even for years.
However, when the vision starts paying off, it doesn't just pay your bills. It pays for families. If you wanted your vision to come to fruition, one of the most neglected things you will need to do is to stick with it through thick and thin. This is what a baby does when she wants to walk. She tries....UNTIL. Listen to this.
530. The Power Of Masterminding in Bringing Your Vision To Fruition
You can kill your vision instantly by telling it to every Tom, Dick and Harry. How does that work? Simple. Not every Tom , Dick and Harry has a vision, and the first opposition against your vision is someone who has none for themselves.
However, you can also give your vision great power and wings to fly when you tell it to people of like passions. People that you can sit together and talk about that vision and mastermind about it. We know how powerful this works...and we use it especially when we want to get married...Listen to this.

529. Why Non Negotiables Are Critical To The Fruition of Vision
A true personal vision is going to constrain you. All of a sudden you realize that you cannot continue hanging out with the boys. You realize that you cannot continue feeding on gossip and constant negative news.
Vision is like a pregnancy. You cannot do drugs when you are pregnant (nor should you even when you are not). My point is that vision constrains you and therefore, if you will activate it, it is important that you constrain yourself accordingly. If not, I can guarantee you the vision will not work. Listen to this.
528. Without This, You Can Kiss The Fruition Of Your Vision Goodbye
So you have your vision crafted and documented. Probably that was three or five years ago. You look around at your life and wonder what happened? Why is it that the vision is not bringing forth results? What could you be missing?
Like I have said, vision is for the long haul. Vision is also like a baby. If you do not do the vision, it will not take care of itself. There is one critical aspect of visioneering that must be put into consideration IMMEDIATELY you have clarified what it is. Listen to this.
527. What You Need To Realize About Your Personal Vision Immediately You Download It
The coming up with a vision is straight forward. In this day and age, it is easy to google and find answers on how you can get clarity on your personal vision. And yet, we still have millions of people who do not have that bit sorted.
Where the rubber meets the road is what we have to do in order to bring this vision to fruition. Just the fact that you have vision does not mean that things will now fall into place. You need to realize some important aspects of your daily life.
Vision is like a baby. Fragile yet so powerful and filled with great potential. Listen to this.

526. There Are Three Groups of People Regarding to Having A Vision. Which One Are You?
It is written that where there is no vision, the people perish. They cast off restraint. One of the greatest softwares in the renaissance of our individual lives is a personal vision. To have it or not to have it is the ultimate question.
However, there is reason to believe that coming up with the vision is perhaps the simplest part. What needs to be focused on is what we do after knowing what it is. It is said that in any gathering, there are three types of groups.
There are the 84%, then the 13% and then the 3%. These are grouped in relation to their intentional pursuit of their personal vision. Listen to this.
525. Why The Individual Needs A Vision
I know it sounds cliché but the notion of a personal vision, in my estimation, is one of the greatest key words in personal development.
We need to clarify what our vision is at the individual level. I'm sure we have no problem doing so at the corporate or organizational level whatsoever.
It is sad though to find a head of a department in a multinational not having their own vision quantified. We need that done. Listen to this.
