Recently, I forwarded a graphic on my social media handles that is still receiving some attention. The essence of the message was that we shouldn't look at children as people to be given one same direction to take that we have taken ourselves.
Rather, we should look at children like they are mysteries and adventures to unravel. In our career and purpose pursuits, the greatest mistake we make is akin to the one size fits all. There is more to that phenomenon. Listen to this.

In pursuit of purpose and our professional and career choices, clarity is important. We as humans have no problem taking action. We are so prone to be action oriented that at times we miss the chance to clarify before we act.

The heart stores critical information about our purpose than we are willing to admit. This is not just for those who have discovered their purpose, but also for those who haven't.

So how do we prepare to pass this heart test? Listen to this.

This episode marks the last of a short series we have been doing on the subject of events vs. processes in purpose pursuit and fulfillment.
Whereas both are needed, we find that if all we are looking for in life are events, we miss quite a bit of essence that way. For instance , if you thought purpose discovery is an event, you will be looking for prophecies and proclamations rather than apply yourself to a seeking process.

I will always lean on the side of processes and systems Instead of events. Why? Because events are always going to be taken care of if processes are in place.
In purpose pursuit and fulfillment, both events and processes are important. However, the power is not in an event or a string of events. The power is in a process like life is in a day. Listen to this

Our lives are littered with events from conception to burial. The moments and memories that events create are important in our lives. Naturally, we tend to celebrate the events and even look forward to more.
With fulfillment of purpose, we will be doing ourselves a great disservice if we look more for events than steep ourselves into a process. Both are important but here is why you and I must love processes more. Listen to this.

Somehow, we are more inclined to events than process. This is because events create elevation and moments to remember. They can be very defining and momentous.
For Jesus, the moment of crucifixion was defining. For Obama, it was that speech at the DNC. At the end of the day events mark special purpose moments in our lives.
So should we be chasing after events or looking out for processes? Listen to this.

Self leadership is so powerful because no one is exempt from it. It is powerful because it's not about privilege, power or politics. It's about personal purpose.
That's why it is important for us to try as much as we can to increase our personal leadership capacities. This episode is a summary of a series of episodes where we were answering this question: is a great president the answer? Listen to this.

There is a misconception that leadership is all about guiding other people. In fact this is so much so that those who are not in "leadership positions" tend to do little about being circumspect.
Granted, when I take up responsibility to lead a team, I am compelled to rise up to it. How great would it be though, when I rise up and be circumspect even when not leading others? This is where self leadership begins. Listen to this.

Self leadership is what we need more. However, the way we are clamoring to be led, one might think that the leaders we elect will come to our homes and help us with home improvement.
Whereas great leaders are a blessing for a nation, without self leadership, the great national leaders wouldn't perform a miracle for individuals. The other component of self leadership is exemplified in our relationships. Let's discuss it here.

Self leadership is to be touted at the rooftops more than peddling presidential candidates. It's a sorry day when millions of people in a country think that one leader is going to sort out their individual needs. Such people think that the greatest work they can do is to vote in their person.
We are answering this question in this episode: is a great president the answer? Well, we all desire and even deserve great leadership. But is that the answer to our individual and personal questions? If we knew this was not the answer, we probably would be more objective in politics. Listen to this.

People will tell you while quoting John C Maxwell that everything rises and falls on leadership. True. Only that people wrongly think that the only leader is the president.

When I sat down to have a conversation with him at his office at Kingdom Kampala, I was not prepared to hear what he said in the two hours that followed so much so that we didn't talk about his life's work. We shall reschedule another episode for that.
