AFFIRMATIONS, MEDITATION AND VISUALIZATION
Positive affirmations are great tools, infact an affirmation opens the door. It is the beginning point on the path of success.
Meditation, it power cannot be kept as a secret, because it is a critical tool towards self-development, strategic thinking, and growth.
Visualization, the key to manifesting the life you desire, a technique for refining self image. Visualization can be put to be a mental rehearsal, it is an empowering tool to enhance consciousness and self awareness and to focus on the mind. Visualization expands one's capacity for creativity.
INTEGRITY LINE is a must real for all.
Affirmations, meditations and visualizations are all wonderful tools, but as far as I can tell, none of them on its own is going to bring you real success in the real world, you have to take real action to succeed..
Am not in anyway condemning the afore mentioned. Infact they are totally cool, necessary for step up in life, it results are powerful, great and mind blowing, but you need not to depend on them totally.
P.S If you want to see results put up action in the midst of meditation, visualization and affirmations and see to what great extent it can help you achieve..
I would love to hear from you and know how positive affirmations, meditation and visualization has helped or impacted your life. Drop in your comments and let us know what you think, this is the gist with ZOEY..
The next post tells us why action is so critical..

BUILD STRONG CHARACTER THAT COMMUNICATES
People are like icebergs, there's much to it than the eyes sees. There are lots of successful people that we know of, that has made it to the limelight, but the ones who have neglected to develop strong character rarely stay there long. Because people cannot climb beyond the limitations of their character.
No one can expect to succeed without strong character below the surface to protect his talent and sustain him during difficult times.
Character holds us steady, no matter how rough the storm becomes.
The choice to develop a strong character may not be the most important one to make the most of your life/career. But it is certainly the most important to make sure you don't make the least of your life/career.
The impact of character cannot be underestimated by anyone. Roger Benson asserted that "A character standard is far more important than even a gold standard". The success of all economic systems is still dependent upon both righteous leaders and righteous people.
Character creates a foundation upon which the structure of your life and carrier can build. If there are cracks in that foundation, you cannot build much, but only a little. That's the reason why you must first develop within before you can achieve much without. But once you build strong character, it does more than provide a platform for your personal success and the maximization of your entire life. It also impact others and allows you build with them. It does that through what it communicates to people.
START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE is a must read for all! !
I have observed that the people with the weakest character tend to place the blame on their circumstances. They often claim that poor upbringing, financial difficulties, the unkindness of others, or other circumstances have made them victims.
The fact remains that we must face many things in life outside our control. But while your circumstances are beyond your control, your character is not.
Your character is always your choice, developing your character is your sole responsibility, therefore take control of it..
Drop your comments let's us know what you think about developing strong character..

START WITH WHAT YOU HAVE!!!
And I quote one of newton's law of motion that states "All objects remain in a state of rest until a force is applied". This may be true of our aspirations in life. Things do not move, until we move.
Action orientation remains a major requirement for success. The question for most people however is 'HOW DO I START?? ' or 'WHERE DO I BEGIN FROM?'. That's why am putting up this post to help you overcome inertia and get you moving in the direction you desire. Remember a job begun is a job half done.
The problem with most of us is that we feel we do not have what it takes to start. However, God will never allow things to degenerate around us to the point where he has nothing with which to move us to the next phase of our breakthrough.

YOU TOO CAN BECOME A CELEBRITY
There will always be a seed in your life that God will use to meet the need of your life. There is a miracle around you waiting to be discovered. However, it is in the potential form.

There will always be a seed in your life that God will use to meet the need of your life. There is a miracle around you waiting to be discovered. However, it is in the potential form.
For as long as you hold the belief that what you need to start is what you do not have, you'll never start. And of course you cannot finish what you have not started. If you start early, you can finish early. But if you start late, you will finish late, if at all you still have enough time to finish.
Therefore, am urging you to start right where you are, with what you have, and stop hoping for what hasn't yet arrived..
BEST OF LUCK!!!

YOU TOO CAN BECOME A CELEBRITY!!!
Stop seeing yourself as inferior to others. Everyone has his own strengths, and weaknesses too.
No one has it all;
There's something about you that many people don't possess.
No one knows it all;
You too know something that many don't have an idea of.
No one is perfect;
Those people also have flaws and they fumble sometimes, too.
So, if you see people doing well in one area, don't feel intimidated. Rather, identify your own strength and focus on it. Oprah Winfrey is a celebrity today because she focused on her strengths.
#MichelleObama is a celebrity!
#WoleSoyinka is a celebrity!
#DonaldTrump is a celebrity!
#RobertKiyosaki is a celebrity!
#Obama is a celebrity!
#focus on your #strengths!
YOUR BIGGEST MOTIVATION IS A MUST READ
You too can become a celebrity, if and only if you can focus on your strengths and improve yourself daily, through a conscious and intentional personal development.
#You are a celebrity!
This is me celebrating all women worldwide..

Be motivated, stay focused, balance your life and become a celebrity!!

INTEGRITY LINE
People are rarely angry for the reason they told you. Employees are rarely angry for the reason they explain. Much is never discussed. The trap of deception is deadly . It begins when you deceive yourself, then those around you.
Always be honest to others about the reason for the doors closing, it is not necessary to give every detail, but it is important that the details you give are accurate.
The thing called integrity isn't inborn, rather it is an inbuilt decision. I have come to understand that people that have integrity do not always have the most simple life, but rather a straight forward and a non complicated lifestyle.
Integrity isn't aone day or one moment thing, it is a day to day living. In out world of today where integrity is very expensive, don't expect it from cheap people.
Integrity is saying something and sticking to your word. It is going for your meetings and appointments on time. It is an act people knows you stand for.
Therefore I urge you today to forget the challenges, the failures, the disapointment and the struggles and just go ahead and build a line of integrity for yourself, let people know that this is what you stand for, let your words and believe rhythm with your actions..
Have you read THE POWER OF FOCUS ??
If you're having difficulties building up integrity, drop a comment on the section below, and I will reach out..

THE POWER OF FOCUS.
Focus does not come naturally to us, yet it is essential for everyone who wants to make the most of his life. Focus can bring tremendous power, because without it, you'll often feel drained, unproductive and unable to accomplish much. But with it, you will find that you've gain direction and intentionality.
If you desire to achieve something, you first need to know what your target is. That's true even when it comes to business, family, relationship and even personal development. If you lack focus, you'll be all over the place, attempting everything like attempting nothing will suck the life out of you. It will sap you of energy and new opportunities. And whatever momentum you have going for you will be diminished.
In today's world where by so many things are clamoring for attention, it is the concentration to bend all the energies to one point, and to go directly to that point, looking neither to the left nor to the right.
And I quote Admiral Richard "few men during their lifetime came anywhere near exhausting the resources dwelling within them. There are deer Wells of strength that are never used". One of the reasons that those Wells often go untapped is lack of focus.
Something wonderful happens when we narrow our focus and set goals. That's where the real magic starts.
The mind doesn't reach toward achievement until is has clear objectives. People who are undecided about what they want to do or where they want to go cannot tap into their strength of will or their talent. As a result, they are merely drift along.
And here comes the big question...
- Have you asked yourself what you really want to do..??
- And have you determined that you will pursue it against the odds, despite the obstacles, and regardless of the circumstances..??
MUST READ POST: FEED YOUR MIND
Being intentional is about focusing on doing the right things, moment by moment, day by day, and then following through with them in a consistent way.
Sometimes, Just sometimes, we do have reasons for not doing what we ought to do:
we don't have enough time, we don't have enough resources, we don't have enough help, we have problems, we have challenges and shortcomings, we have distractions, obstacles and struggles.
But should we let these get us off the track...???
Of course NO!!!
Drop your comments let's here your thoughts..

FEED YOUR MIND!!!
The mind is the powerhouse of your life. Every idea, action, plan and programme with which you run your life proceeds from your mind.
It is therefore of utmost importance that you feed your mind with the right resources so it performs at its highest capacity possible.
Like a computer, concerning the operations of your mind, input determines output. Feed your mind with junk, that's what will come out. Train your mind and you will be glad you did.
Ideas for transformation comes when you stir your mind with proper information through reading, thinking(meditation), watching and listening to inspirational and informative materials. It's better to be informed than spend all your time being entertained! Entertainment is generally a passive use of the mind.
Meditation is spending time thinking on what you have read, watched or listened to. The more time you spend thinking and pondering on previous information, the more ideas and understanding are birthed.
Spend time asking yourself questions why, how, when, where and before you know it ideas and solutions start springing up from your mind.
*The mind is like a machine that uses the raw materials you feed it with to manufacture the fabric with which you build your life.*

It's obvious therefore that your life so far is a result of what you've fed your mind with so far... consciously or not.
So the big question is
"what are you feeding your mind with..???"

ELIMINATING EXCUSES!!!
Today, I'm not going to pamper you and tell you that you can do it.
I have said that to you a lot already.
I'll say something else.
I want to tell you to get out there, and do it.
Enough of the "You Can" now get to actually do the work.
Stop talking and start doing.
Are you great at making excuses to justify why you cannot accomplish certain goals?
Then bring your ear closer.
Someone out there has those same legit excuses and are defiling the odds to get it done.
Life has never pampared the achiever.
The conditions of life will never be in your favour.
Achievers don't float with the waves that takes them to any destination.
You have to swim against the tide.
What are those goals you have written down?
What is that business you want to establish?
What is that course you want to take?
How about that skill you want to acquire?
Today I'm not saying you can, you already know that.
HAVE YOU READ OUR LIFESTYLE OUR HABITS..??
I'm saying start doing it.
Take that first step.
What are your excuses?
Today I tell you, they are not valid enough to stop you from achieving greatness.
To your continued motivation and progress.
