I know lots of people might be wondering who in the world wants to fail!
Maybe not in an exam –I don’t want that either! who will pay?
But that’s not what I am talking about when I ask to fail.
I want to fail at the things I do.
I want to fail in my coaching program.
I want to fail with my blogging.
I want to fail while I market to you.
And yes I know Why.
It’s only when I fail, I’ll know better.
I used to be scared of failing, after all who doesn’t want to be perfect?
But over the years I have realized that the areas I have become better at, where areas I failed in so many times.
And you know what? I now welcome it.
I don’t see failure as something that stops me or paralyzes me anymore. Nope.
I see failure as a teacher that tells me what not to do next time and what to do better.
By failing we learn things we never would have learnt if we had just succeeded.
So yes fail and fail quickly.
Because only in your failure does perfection come forth.

So I want to attend a program on personal development, add up going for some marketing session
Simultaneously maybe I should look a bit into fashion and makeup
let not forget I need to finish this book review
having so much to do what do I attend to next
Well this is the “typical me” and this is “the typical you”
and this “typical us” is delaying us from achieving our goals
And so the law of first things first set it
It briefly states
Find a balance between your long term goals and your short-term goals.
It states chooses what is needed not what you think you want.
It states to focus on areas that give the greatest returns for your efforts.
It states to choose one area you want to know first.
The law of first thing asks us questions daily
It asks us to make a choice and it asks us to be conscious of our reality
The law of first things say pick what is most important now
So yes you need to acquire a website or attend an online course program – choose which is most important
You need to buy two book – choose which one you need the most
The reason the law of first things sets in is that resources are limited and there is always an opportunity cost for each of our action
For one choice we make we lose another – so choose the one that makes the biggest impact on your life right now
And forget about the one you didn’t choose – it part of life.
when two alternatives come seeking your time, resources or energy – let the law of first things guide you
Ask which should come first?

Why do we act the way we do
Why do we laugh
Why do we cry
Why?
Why?
Why?
Sometimes we can’t tell why we do what we do but sometimes if we look deep we can
and to those moments I speak to you about.
Why do you hate someone
Why do you love someone
Why do you want to live
why do you want to change the world
To thy own self be true — is my mantra
Knowing why I do things, has greatly helped me become a better person
I would confess that asking myself WHY has not always given me the greatest joy but it has helped me find out who I am.
Every time I am able to get to the WHY behind my actions I am set free much further
I call this process Finding Me – I want you to find your true self
Ask yourself the big WHY and the small WHY
The why behind the show-off
The why behind the lady that hides scared to be seen
The why behind the fear
The why behind the independence facade
I don’t promise that you would like all the answers
But one thing is sure
You will never remain the same same
So ask WHY?

I remember a time in my life when I waited for the perfect man to come and marry me. Lol.
Seriously it was a fantasy I lived in, Day in. Day out.
That is the bad thing about watching lots of romantic movies when you are young and naïve.
And while I didn’t consciously do it, I realized I had put a pause on my life till that dream happened. Once I realized this, I was faced with a choice which was either I keep on dreaming and waiting for the ‘dream man’ or I was going to live my life.
Now, I know a lot of people might not always share this same feeling, it personally resulted in me not living out my dreams.
I decided to press play on the button of my life. And I choose to live it out to the fullest!
I decided I wasn’t going to wait for nobody to make my life worth it. I was enough.
So why do I share this part of me? It is to ask you a question. Which is; Are you putting a hold of any dream to wait for something or someone to come?
Are you telling yourself “when I meet him I would be happy”?
“When I get that promotion I would start living my life”?
What are you telling yourself that makes you hold-up on your dreams?
It is time to press PLAY on your LIFE. It is time to start living it.
It’s time to really take your life by its shears and say – “I am going to ride this till the wheel falls off!” “I am my rescue!”
Stopping HOLDING-UP on yourself for anyone. Stop postponing your dreams until you can reach the perfect timing.
Just live!
Press the play button and enjoy the music it gives you…
For me, I am dancing to the music.
I might not always love the song, so this is what I do, I change it to the one I love.
Please share this article with others that you know it would bless.

What do you want from your life? – I have been pondering this question for a while now and the truth is the more I think of it the more I realize how a few people actually know what they want from their life.
What life do you want? what are your dreams? – this year 2016 is almost over and we need to plan for 2017 and while there has been a lot of system and strategies a lot of people put in place I must say one things that has worked for me this year or more correctly the last quarter of the year (you see every year I made goal and I achieved probably just 10% of it till I developed a new system). I was going to plan quarterly goals then break it down to a one month plan then daily plan. BUT even with this system my biggest breakthrough in goal setting never really came until I sat to put specific time slot to those goals for instance if I wanted to write a book I needed to block out a specific time daily to do this else no matter how much I tell myself every day I needed to write it won’t get done because no time allocation has been made in daily agenda – same for every goal I had to find the time to do it and from that analysis I knew where I overextending myself – which I did a lot.
But that majorly is not why I am writing today I writing because I want us all to envision what we want form our life –for me I realize I want more time, my time next year is going to more valuable to me than anything else even above money because that all I have to make any dream come through and because I work a 9-5 job I don’t have much time, so I want more time and more freedom and what I would be driving for throughout 2017.
For You it might be something else but you need to know what it is you want from your life I want you to envision what will make 12 months from now the best you have ever had, that is December 2017 I meet you what would you want to have happened and as you pen all these things down make goals – 90 days, 60 days, 30 days, I week, daily, and time slot to achieve these goals.
And above be thankful for what didn’t happen this year for me that plenty, but in my state of gratitude for the little I was able to achieve I am able to see more clearly why some didn’t and why some were not my fault – life happens to us.
I want to leave you with this: no matter how far the journey is if you will trust yourself to take the first step and no matter how long it may take you if you will be courageous to never stop believing in yourself. you will get there.
I wish you all you want from life
