If you truly want more out of life, chances are you are not really going to fit in anywhere. I mean really fit, in because the majority of people settle for average and if you don’t drop down to their level, there’s going to be conflict. They won’t like the fact that you are committed to your dream because it reminds them that they gave up on theirs. One of the biggest reasons most people don’t follow through with their dream life is fear that they will be left out if they achieve it, this may be conscious or unconscious but most people give up not because they can’t make it, not because they aren’t capable but because; they are surrounded by people who have settled, people who don’t want to see you succeed because it will remind them that they didn’t which might lead them to start saying; you’ve changed since you became successful. Not knowing or understanding that your goal was always to change, to develop, to re-invent yourself, you will hear ridiculous comments like: “successful people are greedy” or “there is more to life than money”. Of course there’s more to life than money, there’s also more to life than struggling to pay bills and put food on the table. So much negativity towards the successful! And the sad part is they will never be successful with this mentality.
You ask 99% of successful people how they achieved their dream life? I can assure you the story will be the same; they worked harder than the majority, they kept going when the majority gave up, they suffered through failure but made sure that was not the end, rather a lesson learned. They went through hell but always focused on the end goal. Sadly; most people would rather argue for their limitations than know there are no limitations, most people would rather hate on the successful than learn from them or model them, most people would rather pick up a beer rather than a book and start complaining that they are in a dead end job or complain that they got laid off from their job. But if they made the right decision earlier on! They wouldn’t have to clean up their bad decisions later on!
Most people would rather party now and suffer later; maybe that’s why most people are not where they want to be, maybe that’s why most people complain, maybe that’s why most people live with regrets, all because they refuse to leave their comfort zone which is their worst enemy. If you are the most people, commit right now to becoming the minority, set your goals right now, don’t you waste another moment of your life, find a mentor in a book or a person and learn from them; model them, develop your mind, re-invest your, make a commitment to be different, make a commitment to never give up on your goals (your dream) .
Your future self is begging you to make that commitment now, your future self is begging you to stick it out.

In a world of inaction over promising and under-delivering, every second man seems to claim himself an “entrepreneur”. An entrepreneur is someone that would never call himself or herself an entrepreneur, an entrepreneur is someone that is happy to work while all others are out partying, an entrepreneur’s drugs is success because an entrepreneur is addicted to success and finally an entrepreneur knows one simple fact; I will make it may be not immediately but absolutely and definitely. You have to hustle; you have to think outside of the box to make things happen when it seems impossibly difficult for anything to happen, to continue to get up off the canvas when you are beaten down relentlessly. I never lose, I will succeed not immediately but absolutely and definitely, I will take action when others hesitate, I will think big when others don’t, I will sacrifice when others won’t, I will dare to dream of greatness when others fear it........

I want you to know that no matter where you are in life, no matter how low you have sunk, no matter how big your situation, no matter what you are going through; this is not the end, this is never the end of your story and this is not the final chapter of your life. I know it may be hard right now, but if you just hang in there, stay with me for a little while, you will find that this tough moment will pass and if you are committed to using this thing, using it to build your character, finding a greater meaning for the pain. You will find that in time, you can turn your life around and help others who are going through the same struggle.
The world right now is the middle of a mental health crisis. It is estimated that almost half the population suffers from depression at some stage throughout their life, rather than join the queue, it’s important that we learn why we get down and how we can change it because believe it or not, we created our own negative feelings and we can also make sure that we turn our life around and be a positive change for others. The reason anyone gets depressed always comes down to the consistent thought we think and the consistent believes we hold, the point here is that anyone that is depressed is so because there is an external factor that get materialized in their life, they have lost something outside of their control or don’t have something that is out of their control.
In school we are taught how to get a job, when no one teaches us how to live in a state of happiness, no one teaches us how important our conscious and unconscious thought and associations are. Does our happiness not worth more than the job? Yes it is. And before you say happiness won’t pay my bills, happiness will pay your bills, when you realize you will be ten times more energized, focused and take positive actions in your life when you first chose to develop yourself as a priority and then get to top of the world. I have seen some people who many will consider to have it all in their life because they thought they were not good enough, a thought, a believe within them told them that they were not worthy. This people that many would jealous of, many envious off where not good enough. You must value yourself enough, to take the time every single day to work on you, to engage in something that ensures you are a positive influence on the world, but that doesn’t mean life will certainly be perfect, the same life challenges will show up but if your mind is strong, if your mind is at peace then your reactions to the challenges in times will be very different, your reactions will be “how can I make this work” not “ why is this happening to me ” and then others will look to you not with pain but with hope because your strength will become their strength, their hope, you can really be that powerful. You can ditch the victim’s story; you can leave the pain behind and focus on how you will react next, how you will react positively or you can read to get your mind in a positive place. Take steps to ensure you will be in a better position next time and soon you will be in top of the stair case, don’t give up, you are worthy, you are more than worthy, you deserve to experience how great life can be and you owe to the world; to be that positive to others, to inspire others who will look to you and say “he did it” “she did it” and “I can do it too”
If you are suffering from depression please seek help.
Talk to someone.
Commit to work on yourself.
Life can be great, you can happy.
You are worthy.

Attitude makes habit, habit makes character and character makes a man. Attitude is a complex mental state involving beliefs, feelings, values and disposition to act in certain ways. Attitude could also be referred to as the way in which a person thinks or feels, demonstrated by his behavior. Behavior is a manner in which one responds or reacts to any situation.
Character is the mental and moral qualities distinctive to an individual. The definitions above will aid your proper understanding to this piece.
A person’s attitude could make him a pessimist or an optimist. It is a
person’s mental attitude that makes him work hard and excel in life. Attitude defines the “personality” of an individual. Right attitude is formed through ethical values and positive approach to life. According to a survey by a foreign university, good attitude is
responsible for 85% of a person’s success. Attitude can be learnt
through an environment, family values and the right perspective to
resolve problems. A typical example of great men with such outstanding attitudes are; Mahatma Gandhi, Nelson Mandela and Abraham Lincoln who demonstrated unique qualities which differentiated them from others. Gandhi’s resilience and motivational approach, Abraham Lincoln demonstrated persistence beliefs and courage, this piece is a call to attitude development. Due to the fact that the world is full of so much chaos and negativity, we have to
consciously create a positive environment which repels the negativity in the society and influence others positively for a better and greater future.
Let’s say a child who was brought up to always take challenge and never give up, may be due to the circumstances which surrounded him while growing up, this young boy in a way has
imbibed the same attitude to live up to every challenge and never give up even in highly difficult times as a youth or probably as a man. Anyways, it is not yet late to create the right attitude to life and success. In the aforementioned example, this young man with such
strength and courage will become even greater than lots of his mates
who have had it all worked out for them due to his attitude, this tells us that attitude determines the extent to which you go or grow “your attitude to life determines you altitude.
Decide your attitude today and become a great person of character. Your attitude is what you think, what you do and what you feel about yourself. Attitude is everything in life because if rise or fall everything is based upon the attitude that you showed at that moment. You need the lion attitude if you are standing in for greatness because real lions are hungry when the time comes for their mission. Lions are not followers; they are leaders who lead the rest of the animals. Become a lion, be fearless, don’t talk walk the talk. Character is the most important asset which decides the status of any important asset which decides the status of any individual. Character is the biggest part of a man’s success which cannot be purchased.
Remember, attitude makes character and character makes a man.

Good thoughts and actions can never produce bad results; bad thoughts and actions can never produce good results.
Good thinkers are always in demand. A person who knows how may always have a job, but the person who knows why will always be his boss.
The right thoughts plus the right people in the right environment at the right time for the right reason = the right results.

Your comfort zone is your enemy. One of the biggest ironies I can think of is when you live life trying to stay comfortable, life will send you more and more discomfort, life will send u more and more problems, life will keep throwing rocks at you, life will keep handing you resistance, struggles, issues and because people are so concerned about staying comfortable instead of growing and reaching higher, because people don’t want to address their limitation and move beyond them, they keep struggling.
You are not here on this planet to sip apple martinis on the beach, you are here to grow and if you won’t make yourself uncomfortable then life will give you plenty of reasons to push you out of your comfort zone. So you have one of two options
· Commit to constant growth and feeling discomfort on your own accord, and you become the master of your own destiny.
· You hand over the keys and you let life happen to you by default.
From the options above one path leads to success and other path leads to constant struggles and pain, it’s your choice.
Do you think Steve Jobs started Apple feeling comfortable about it? No
Do you think top athletes sleep their way to high performance? No
Do you think Oscar winning actors and actresses procrastinated their way to high achievement? No
So then, why are you giving in to wasting time on Netflix marathons, day dreaming and chronic procrastination?
Why are you running to the bar the moment your best friend texts you to come out? You have to be willing to make the hard decision, you’ve got to be willing to feel uncomfortable, to feel awkward, to face rejection, to fail, to feel pressure.
How many times have you looked at your life and said, “if only I knew then, what I know now, I would live my life so differently”. So
is it not possible then, that the life you are living now, you would be living differently if you began to develop an awareness that you do not currently have?
The only way to develop knowledge and awareness is to try things you have not yet tried, to do things you have not yet done, create things you have not yet created, go to places you have not yet explored. That is how you become the person who is worthy of sitting on the beach with their favorite drink, life will reward you with those experiences after you do the work.
There are real prices to success and life collects the payments, life does not accept payments plans, life does not let you get away with experiencing things that you have not yet earned, your sacrifice must be paid upfront and in full. That is the only way you are going to achieve the life you want.
I strongly suggest you begin to pay with your discomfort, start practicing kindness and compassion over jealousy and greed. You start doing things you know within your heart that you should have started doing a long time ago so you can start to build the experiences and the knowledge that you need to succeed. Read this as a direct message that life is giving to you to wake you up, to help you acknowledge your own greatness. When you put yourself into discomfort, your friends will take notice, your colleagues will take notice, your family will take notice, life will take notice and life will begin to back you up, life will begin to support you and open doors for you and introduce you to the people who will take you to the next level but you must take the first step and watch your life explode into greatness. It’s all waiting for you outside of your comfort zone

Warren Buffett once said; ‘‘the more you learn the more you earn’’. Look at successful people like Bill Gates, Steven Jobs, Elon Musk, Oprah, Mark Cuban, Warren Buffett, David O. Oyedepo and any other highly successful human. They are successful because they use their time right; they are successful because they are lifetime learners. They commit to learning new things every single day.

Warren Buffett, one of the wealthiest humans on plant, is famous for reading more than five hours (5hrs) everyday, Bill Gates reads one book per week, Mark Cuban reads for three hours (3hrs) a day, Oprah is just obsessed with books. Notice a common theme here? Successful people never stop learning.
Think about this, you have $86,400 to spend every single day but when the day is over, the money disappears. You can’t get it back. Wouldn’t you try to spend all of the money before it disappears? Wouldn’t you try to use it wisely? Use it as best you could? The sad part is, we only have 86,400seconds in a day and most people take this time for granted, most people let this time disappear without a second thought. We never get this time back, we must use it wisely! We must be productive, we must use our time to do things that are gainful or use to set up our life. So we can spend our future doing more things we want to do, instead of wasting your time an meaningless things use it to learn new things.
The time you spend playing video games or partying with your friends will never come back. Once you use that time it’s gone forever. Use your time wisely, read books, study hard and learn as much as you can.

Life can be brutal
Life can be unforgiving
If I had to sum up in one word, the difference between the greats and the average, the difference between the successful and the nobodies of the world and one attributes to describe the difference “discipline”.
If you don’t have the discipline, you can forget about the trophy, you can forget about the success, the greatness. All champions have discipline, it’s the discipline to work hard when no one is watching, when the fans aren’t there, when the coach isn’t there, when it’s just you and your character. The discipline to eat strong health foods when you have other tempting options, when those around you might not be strong, the discipline to say no when those around you say yes, the discipline to keep going when it’s hurts because life doesn’t give you what you want. It gives you what you deserve and if you haven’t worked for it, if you haven’t sacrifice for it, if you haven’t given all, then https://evhiemenisa..com.ng/2018/02/discipline.html

You cannot change yesterday but you can do something today that can change your tomorrow. It doesn’t matter how you where born, that was yesterday. It doesn’t matter what happened the last 5yrs the last 10yrs, you may not be able to change that, but you can re-position yourself today, you can make new decisions today that will change what tomorrow would bring. Invest in your future, refuse to be a ‘’Mental Hobo”, refuse to end your life on a side walk.
Every time I tell you something, I tell you that I believe in your future. The reason I believe I your future is because if you hear this word you will act on them and they will change your future.
