Unless you change, nothing will change.\u201d Dr.Samuel Odeke<\/p>\n

How dramatically we can change our results is largely a function of imagination, vision, faith, plans and goals. According to history, in 1960, it was a technological impossibility for man to travel into outer space. However, within 10 years, the first man stepped out onto the surface of the moon in the USA. The miraculous process of converting that dream into reality began when one voice challenged the scientific community \u00a0or scientist to do whatever was necessary to see to it that America \u201cplaces a man on the moon by the end of this decade.\u201d That challenge awakened the spirit of a nation by planting the seed of possible future achievement into the fertile soil of imagination. With that one bold challenge, the impossible became a reality.<\/p>\n

The same principle applies to every other area of our life. Can a poor person become wealthy? Can someone become a good person? Of course! The unique combination of desire, planning, effort, commitment, consistency, confidence, courage, and perseverance will always work its magic. The question is not whether the formula for success will work, but rather whether the person will work the formula. That is the unknown variable. That is the challenge that confronts us all. We can all go from wherever we are to wherever we want to be. No dream is impossible provided we first have the courage to believe in it. You become what you think most of the time.
\nHere is how you can do that\u201413 ways to improve your life:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Decided to Face your fears. That\u2019s how you conquer them. Don\u2019t dismiss them; face them. Say, Here\u2019s what I\u2019m afraid of. I wonder what I could do to change that. Face your fears today.<\/li>\n
  2. Exercise your willpower to change direction. Your will is the most powerful force that you use to decide and act. You don\u2019t have to keep doing what you\u2019ve been doing the last 10 years if it\u2019s not yielding the benefits you want. Pick a new destination and go that way. Use your willpower to start the process. You don\u2019t have to repeat last year. Clean up the errors. Invest it now in the next year. Watch it make the difference.<\/li>\n
  3. Admit and accept your mistakes. Sometimes you have to admit them to others. Here\u2019s one of the best phrases in the English language: \u201cI\u2019m sorry.\u201d Those words could start a whole new relationship. They could start two people going in a whole new direction. Admit your mistakes to yourself and forgive yourself. You don\u2019t have to babble about them to everyone in the neighborhood or tell everyone. But it doesn\u2019t hurt you to sit down and have a conversation with yourself. You need to speak to yourself and say enough of this and it won\u2019t happen anymore.<\/li>\n
  4. Refine, review, re-evaluate your goals. Start the process. Set some higher goals. Reach for some higher purpose. Go for something beyond what you thought you could do. We are now in the middle of 2020, have you reviewed your goals? Where are you going? What brought you here? What happened? Did you miss the direction? Goals create a path that leads to success. Always focus on your goals.<\/li>\n
  5. Believe in yourself. You\u2019ve got to believe in the possibilities. You\u2019ve got to believe that tomorrow can be better than today. Believe in yourself. There isn\u2019t a skill you can\u2019t learn; there isn\u2019t a discipline you can\u2019t try; there isn\u2019t a class you can\u2019t take; there isn\u2019t a book you couldn\u2019t read. Do not believe what people will say about you. Only believe what God says. Make your faith(belief) work for you?<\/li>\n
  6. Ask for wisdom and apply the knowledge to make the right decisions. Ask for wisdom that creates answers. Ask for wisdom to deal with the challenges for today and tomorrow. Don\u2019t wish it was easier; wish you were better.
    \n7. Conserve or Redeem your time. Sometimes we get faked out. Motivational speaker Bill Bailey says the average person says, \u201cI\u2019ve got 20 more years.\u201d But Bill says you\u2019ve got 20 more times. If you go fishing once a year, you\u2019ve only got 20 more times to go fishing, not 20 years. \u00a0Whatever you choose to use your time, defines you. Make use of the time you have. Be productive and do not be lazy. Do something that helps you grow. Stop wasting time.<\/li>\n
  7. Invest in your personal development. Whatever you invest in, grows. If you spend time developing yourself, you reap. Most people never engage in personal development. They watch movies, films and listen to music thinking they are enjoying life. Wait after 5 years, they will still be the same.<\/li>\n
  8. Live with intensity. Most people have no passion of what they do in life. Invest more of you in whatever you do. Be a little stronger; be a little wiser and smarter. Step up your vitality contribution. Put everything you\u2019ve got into everything you do and then ask for more vitality, more strength and more vigor, more heart and more soul. Your intensity implies, you do things Now. Do not keep on post ponding.
    \n10. Find your place and do your best. If you just work at a job, find the best place you can serve well, and sure enough they\u2019ll ask you to occupy a better place. Keep doing a job well; do the very best you can. That\u2019s your best way out.
    \n11. Demand integrity from yourself. Integrity is like loyalty. You can\u2019t demand it of someone else; you can only demand it of yourself. Be the best example of loyalty and you\u2019ll get loyal followers. Be the best example of integrity and you\u2019ll have people around you who have integrity. Lead the way and they will follow you.<\/li>\n
  9. Welcome the disciplines. I can\u2019t give you much better advice than that because disciplines create reality. Disciplines build cities. A well-disciplined activity creates abundance, uniqueness and productivity. Discipline is the path to success and saves you from pain.
    \n13. Fight for what\u2019s right. It\u2019s extraordinary to be able to say: \u201cI fought for future, dreams, vision,; I fought for what was right; I fought for good health; I fought to protect my company; I fought for a good career or job that would bless my family. I fought a good fight.\u201d It\u2019s good to fight the encroachment. Opposites are in conflict and you\u2019re in the middle. If you want something valuable, you\u2019ve got to fight for it. Good things do not come easy. They come from fight, persistence and discipline.
    \nThanks
    \nDr. Samuel Odeke<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    retention, it\u2019s one thing to get them to say \u201cI do\u201d; it\u2019s another to hold them and keep them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
