Insight into my third book : "Motivating the Inner Soul"

This compendium of wise sayings, teachings, philosophy and life experiences is aptly titled, Motivating the Inner Soul, for indeed it simply does that. The analytic reflection on everyday themes of leadership, vision, hope, happiness, love, faith and motivation is quite refreshing and leaves the reader profoundly transformed. Also, this work is simple and straightforward making it user-friendly to the various classes of its readership.
It is very likely, perhaps by design that each reader would come out with a different story from this book. In motivating the inner soul of each individual different life experiences and one’s goals in life would most likely result in differential motivation per individual. It is, as the author says that life is like reading a book, every page raises a question and an answer. The inner self is brought to the fore.
While this work motivates and inspires at the same time, it provokes questions that have dominated history without agreed solutions. The issue of leadership is a profound question, especially in Africa and the developing world. Leadership as a concept and practice has proven to be elusive and hence the abysmal state of affairs afflicting many societies and communities. Leadership goes with vision, an equally elusive phenomena that many leaders are grappling with but to no avail.
Reading through this book, your spirit is lifted. You get inspired. You become hopeful. It talks of transformative leadership that is viral and inspires hope. Hope is a choice, we are told here, and motivation is the source of that hope. Nurturing your vision, dealing with fear, managing influence and success are unpacked with unusual flair. One time, the Bible story or verse are cited and next a lesson is drawn from the Brazilian soccer performance.
This book can be read or consulted like a story book or a reference book. Some may read it from cover to cover but some may forage it anyhow, whichever way one approaches it the effect could be the same. It motivates. Actually, there is no ending to the message contained since transformation is itself a process and not an end in itself. Enjoy reading this work.

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...

FEAR ,NO FEAR! Move from a moaners and a groaners to movers and shakers

  Fear kills more people than death .In order to have self motiavation  you need to acknowledge your fears.That you fear something is a first positive step towards setting your mind free for fear is truly and purely a mind game.You can overcome your fears,yes you can all you need is to take the next essential move   of practical action oriented.It is this action step that determines whether we challemge and change the way things are done or we just conform to situations and rot inside us in fear and our dreams are buried inside our hearts.As a  result we cheat the world of an important leadership gift and seed that is in us  .We can overcome our fears by  challenging the way things are done.     Fear can be simple defined as:   F-alse E-vidence A-ppearing R-eal As leaders we become effective when we first deal with our internal fears,for the world out there is built on fear of the unknown whilst success is...
