Don`t wait for opportunities.Create them !!

They say you have : to lose yourself in the moment ,live the moment and seize the moment,for opportunity knocks once in a life time .Yes opportunities are many but there are those that breed more opportunities,those that  change our lives in a positive manner,those that motivate and inspire others.When an opportunity knocks do not just "open " the doors ,instead open them wide and explore.Many of us come across opportunities but give up along the way .You will agree with me  that we let go of a lot of opportunities because we are expected to complete application forms,to meet the required qualifications ,to carry out medical tests and at times to posses certain specific traits .At times we are even expected to move from our comfort zone  and  in worst cases we have to compromise on our personal values. All theses challenges tend to hinder many of us  from fully exploiting our potential .Such challenges shut us out and reduce our success possibilities, but if we approach opportunities with the future in mind ,if we start with the end in mind we will realize that we are powerful beyond measure. My first trip to Europe (Sweden ) was a challenging one as i had to pay  for a number of  expenses including the visa .I had to mobilize both financial and non financial resources.Back then i was still unemployed ,as a result i had to humble myself and carry a sponsorship sheet and ask for contributions from those that i knew and in many instances from people i did not even know.It was indeed a tough and somewhat embarrassing  period but because i had the future in mind i humbled myself. I did everything that was required to make  my participation in the World Youth Convention a reality.  It was from that time in 2010 that more opportunities have come my way and i have explored the world, with Denmark and Lebanon being my recently visited places due to my leadership abilities and motivational speaking passion .All you need to do is to compliment the opportunity with efforts .When opportunities are fully exploited your motivation is increased and you are able to set big and powerful goals .For its not what a goal is that matters but what a goal does .Beyond waiting and seeking opportunities you have to create them yourself .So start now and be creative !!

Money :Is it the greatest source of motivation?

Some call it cash money, imali, muler  ,some say its the love of it is the root of all evil whilst others say it makes the world go around.The most interesting thing about money is that some of us cannot leve without it and neither can they live with it for to them its a case of "more money more problems" .Over the years,scholars have argued that: "the greatest source of motivation is money.Well we all need money as a means of exchange and to facilitate trade transactions and a store of value .However ,to a greater extent money has failed to motivate many people for  the greatest motivator is a strong, clear and passionate vision. This surpasses the desire for money or any gain whatsoever!Money cannot buy you a vision but a clear vision can get you money.

The influence in a leader

Every song comes from another song, every leader succeeds another, every story end is the beginning of another, every person is from a successfully fertilised sperm and every story repeats and continues another. Likewise success breeds success and so shall the sperm of success when natured, monitored and groomed well it shall produce success. The power of influence can only be useful when put into motion , the same applies with leaders who have influence but don’t direct it towards transforming societies. The power of influence however cannot function without the necessary environment.Influencial leaders are people who are able to create a conducive environment for them to exert that influence, they don’t force people to buy into their vision but their works act as a bait to lure followers. Influence is earned over time, remember that there is always competition for it .In the same fashion only a competitive sperm can result in fertilisation. “We are all cut out from the sam...

The power of motivation

The power of motivation is the positive feeling that we give to others ,that jump- starter ,that push ,that support,that understanding,that voice that says to someone :"Yes you can do it " makes a difference on a daily basis .The power of what we say to others has the potential of nurturing great leaders or to totally destroy them ,for indeed there is power in what we say .As such a good leaders have the ability to motivate ,to acknowledge and appraise good perfomance that is  done by others Motivation is spiritual and leadership is viral.Motivation is not a new subject but an old theory which is still practical and relevant in both leadership and management   today,tomorrow and in the future.Stay motivated!!
