On Crises, Perspectives and Opportunities

 Most crises can be resolved with the right team members. Crises are solution waiting to be explored, especially, when we approach them as opportunities for contributions, learning and growth. Then we will be able to commit with the ideas and insights needed to possibly convert them into solutions. 



It is obvious, that every setback can become a bounce back when armed with the right knowledge, the required skills and insights. Every predicament has many solutions. For this reason, we could learn to be more focused, discerning and engaging with the right team.



When we want to achieve any vision. We identify clients, employ the right skills, who are ready to work diligently toward our goals, we go through trainings, we choose to be enthusiasts at building confident commitments. Having at the back of our minds, that functioning in a team, requires cooperation. 



The wisdom for productive contributions can be seen in our personal drives for hard work, we commit our ways to God for direction, we ask the right questions, develop discipline for better philosophies, better perspectives and sound judgements. 



Our mindsets are the magnetic fields that creates our realities. It is when we keep telling ourselves empowering stories, over and over again, that we will be able to give rise to the future we are committed to, irrespective of what others label us.



We must never lose heart, because anyone who wants to achieve should expect hurdles. At the planning stages, we could do an evaluation of the operations, strengths, weaknesses opportunities and threats (SWOT) analysis, in studying the risks and opportunities. What we believe when circumstances seems to throw things off course should help our flexibility and objectivity and not necessarily dissuade us from our goals. Failure is never final. It is when perspectives are not clearly spelt out, that losses, misunderstanding and complaints, could become the order of the day. Especially when we do not quite yet appreciate roles and responsibilities in team play. 



We can always start out with the bits and pieces that we have taken time to research into. Usually there could be lots of excuses for procrastinations, the lack of capital, inadequate preparations, pasts disappointments, past failures, lack of employment opportunities and so forth.



However, our resourcefulness in times of challenging difficulties should always take us back to the drawing board to help us forge ahead. It is with our hearts that we win. Engaging our minds to see into the future, weigh our options and projections, deliberate issues, interpret scenarios. Then we discuss possibilities with our team members and convince ourselves, developing Industry, to transform Instead of remaining in the status quo. 



Consequently, in understanding the frameworks for creating value, modelling and mentorship are two (2) strong relationship tools that some have learnt to engage at improving resourcefulness, leveraging commitments into manifesting thriving outcomes.



It is important to  realize that it is our perspectives and outlooks to life that determine the stories we are telling ourselves. As it  explains why things turn out the way they do for different people. This is the reason, several persons can be in the same situation, presented with identical problems and opportunities, yet they get very different results. The major explanation for the differences in their results being their different perspectives. 



In making appraisals, the edge we all have in this life is our choices, our convictions, our mindsets, our insights, our discipline and our staying power. We are all geniuses emerging in our own rights. Planning, researching, simple understanding of accounting, budgeting and goals setting with very realistic objectives play their roles, when they are in consonance with our drives and designs.



In conclusion, we can all choose to embrace our opportunities with ardent zeal and intense exertion through the definite stages of transformation. It is our perspectives and resourcefulness that determines what we are focusing on, which in turn can drive us to persevere for good outcomes.


Stay diligent,

A worthy reminder, that while opportunities appear in disguise, the challenges, what seems to appear as obstacles are only the tools that of and when allowed do transform one.

On relationships and forgiveness

  Letting go of deep emotional hurts can be quite difficult and distressing when not properly handled. The fact is that it can keep replaying in our minds, bringing more anxieties, bitterness and sadness, if the matter lingers on unattended to. We all have experienced hurts of some sort whether we categorized them to be deep hurts or not.  Most of us will be able to associate with what it feels like to have been betrayed by a loved one, or have been through a difficult time when there was strain on our friendship, that it was characterized with pain, resentment, hurt and anger over a wrong judgement of us, whether we felt we deserved or didn’t deserve the ill-treatment we were given. Then you are not alone. It is important to realize that our responses to the same perceived wrong vary greatly from one person to another, depending on our interpretation of the situations.

On The Importance of Staying Calm and Purposeful through Trials and Challenges

  Good day my dear friends, In this journey called life, every now and then, whether we are simply minding our daily businesses and endeavors or following up on loved ones, on gossips or on things that doesn’t directly concern us in the name of caring, we very often may also have to face trials and challenges. Trials and Challenges are a part of life. In this life, if we are to ever achieve anything worthwhile, or anything at all we should better make up our minds to face challenges gallantly.  For so many reasons, whenever we are confronted by challenges, it should not be strange to us, because we are not the only one.  Most times, trials and challenges are opportunities to learn from and they allow us to relearn the opinions we have held so dearly to us over the years.  Trials and challenges are periods that take us back to the drawing table to reevaluate our positions on things. They should not be periods of discouragement, despair and hopelessness. We should purp...

On team spirit, looking out for each other, while achieving set goals and objectives

 The strong organizations  have members that have come to terms with their diverse roles and functions, yet are well focused on carrying out clearly spelt out constitutions and policies. Broadly speaking, they have learned to subordinate their differences, ideological views and Interests for the realization of the higher purposes of their organizations. They have team spirit, seek to grow together, support each other, understand loyalty, sacrifice and trust each other. Their operations endeavor to compare to close family units, and to individual musicians who synchronize in playing orchestra. They seem to have a better understanding of what Organizations stands for,  they believe in synergies, they know the major products and services being rendered, aptly communicate roles and responsibilities, along with modes of operations, needed towards the effective implementation of goals and objectives. They have firmly inculcated and communicated the proper narrations of what eac...
