Most of us have tried our hands on a lot of things that didn't work – I get that. However, that’s actually a great reason to question the way things are, the way we’ve always done things, and the way we think.
What I’m trying to say is that - complaining is just such a waste of time and energy! If you’re not comfortable with a situation, CHANGE your strategy! Still unhappy? Change your attitude! If you’re still unhappy, try changing how you think!
Everyone has their long-held beliefs, some of which can be very strange. The thing is, whether we lose or win in life depends pretty much on our willingness to question what isn’t working. If we are able to ask and answer our own questions with courage and with honesty, then the reward we get is positive change in the direction we want to go.
- What questions are you asking?
- What strategies are you employing?
- How much of your time have you invested in self-development?
Here are some questions I recommend you ask and answer for yourself:
- What can you do DIFFERENTLY?
- How can you RE-INVENT the thoughts you are constantly thinking that aren’t serving you?
- What NEW INFORMATION can you consume to help you make better choices in life?
- What actions can you take to START creating the change you want in your life?
For example, if the only motivation you have to be rich is so you cannot be poor, then you might never be rich, because according to financial experts, becoming wealthy starts in your mind—not in your wallet. To get rich, you have to believe that something that is so incredibly far from your reach, is actually possible to grab - with a little hard work and dedication of course. That’s the MINDSET of the rich!
For me personally, I can tell you that by believing my own lies about what was possible, I lived a limited life for a long, long time. I put my dreams on hold for decades. It was the most frustrating experience that I didn’t know how to escape – it was a bit like travelling down a certain path, expressing myself in one particular way, even though my heart was begging me to express myself in other ways.
Then one day, one glorious day, I decided to consider the options and alternatives for my life. I broke out of containment, and the rest, as they say, is now history! I have grown my business and personal brand extensively, and the rewards have been incredible.
The Leap and Shine Conference (LSC) is one visible fruit of my decision to express myself in new, diverse and creative ways. LSC was launched in November 2016, when I hosted 14 speakers from different parts of the world, in a 7-day summit. It was the most amazing summit, and you can find the videos on YouTube.
This year, I’m so excited to be hosting 4 global Thought leaders who will join me to break down the concept of what it takes to Start, Harness, Identify, Network and Express.
The theme of the 2018 LEAP and SHINE Virtual Summit is "Audacity To Shine".
Audacity to Shine is the event to attend if you are interested in exploring Clarity, Personal fulfilment, Transformation and Direction for your next level, whether it’s in your career, business or personal life. The Summit will provide you with the knowledge, information, tips, tools and strategies to guide you into considering the options and alternatives for their lives.
This will help you make more empowering and enabling choices. You should definitely attend LSC/Audacity to Shine - if you would like to FINISH 2018 strong and START 2019 right!
I’m excited to be hosting the following Thought leaders/speakers at the LEAP and SHINE Virtual Summit 2018:
- Vaneese Johnson (the Boldness Coach from California, USA),
Corey Hicks (Founder of the 3 V Philosophy from Florida, USA),
Uchenna Ilo (the Thought Transformation Expert from Glasgow, Scotland)
Alex Okoroji (the Queen of Expression from Lagos, Nigeria).
You'll experience these Thought leaders as they share their message, what’s worked and is working for them. You’ll have direct access to ask them any questions, as well as receive special gifts from each of them.
Here’s the BIG QUESTION I have for you: Do YOU have Audacity to SHINE?
