THE NEED FOR A CIVIL MIND

I and a friend got into a discussion recently, the discussion was why some old f**s think younger than their age and why some young ones think older than their age. And our conclusion was that, the young ones stretched themselves, they go the extra mile to expand their mind and be more experienced. It was this discussion that made me realized that technology didn't bring civilization, it only helped civilization. That's why we still have modern day youths, who are still living in some centuries ago in their minds. The mere things that are civilised about them is their dressing (some are still backward in this area though), their phones etc. It's only their physical appearance that's civilised, but the real things that matter are still reliving the world of their fathers. Their mind for example is dampened, their thought life is immature. They still live in past discoveries and inventions, they pamper their past successes like it's the end of life. I thought I made a wrong realization, until I looked up the meaning of civilization in the dictionary and I saw that it's about high standard of behaviour and behaviour of course is a concept of the mind.
We no longer need civil men, what we need are men with civil mind. Men who make things happen through their mind, men who see how the world could be in their mind. Men who from the conner of their room break limits, and set standards. There's nothing like "this is how a 14 year old guy should think" anymore. Begin to think five years more than your age, that's the edge you need above your equals, that's how you get it. Don't let what's outside you get within you, the old principles, outdated limitations, a 'crappy' pattern of behaviour, drop those ones, be like fishes in the seas. Water doesn't get into them, though they live inside of it. Begin to feed your mind with great thoughts, begin to explore the world of imagination, to pick some great ideas.

BECOME AN EXPERT IN ENTERPRISE
“One can choose to go back toward safety or forward toward growth. Growth must be chosen, again and again, fear must be overcome again and again.” - Abraham Maslow
Most people have decided to settle for less, they've joined the league of the averages, they've failed to grow and they've remained the same.
No one is ready to commit anything into the hands of a mediocre, and the only cure to mediocrity is growth. When you begin to step up from the medicrity level, and you begin to grow, people will see it in you and it will give you an edge over others.
If what you have is talent, sharpen it to become skill, so as to raise yourself up the bar. Someone once told me that, " People easily forget how long it took you to do a job for them, but they'll forever remember how well you do it"
As we are crossing over into the new year, create a personal growth plan for yourself, that will help improve you, and put you in the top class in your enterprise.
It's your time to rise, rise up to the challenge and GROW. Be Wise

COUNT YOUR BLESSINGS
If you can allow me take you back the miles, so you can see how far you have come, the successes you've had, the victories you've had, the battles you've won, the stairs you've climbed, the heights you've reached,the challenges you've overcome and the growths you've experienced. Maybe then you can appreciate and celebrate yourself. It has not been easy, but yet you've gone this far.
Yes ,you still have goals you didn't achieve, battles you lost, but if you look back to when you started pursuing those goals and compare it with now, you'll see that you've not remained the same, some things have changed in you, you've improved, and that's a reason for you to be glad. My team's mentor said something, she said,"The ultimate aim of goal setting is not to achieve the goal, but what you become in the process"
One sure way to happiness, is for you to count your blessings, it makes you feel good about yourself, it gives you motivation and momentum to do more. You don't have to nag yourself always for the things you failed to get, be thankful for the things that didn't get you.
And maybe you discovered that you've not really done so much and that's why you've not achieved so much this year, don't feel bad, use it as the wings you need, to soar higher in the coming year.
It's your time to rise, Be the reason why you smile, by counting your blessings. Be Wise.

MAKE MEDITATION A HABIT
"Life's greatest secrets are locked up in the mind of thinkers" - ONI PETER OLUWAGBEMIGA
The headstart that God gave men during creation was their mind. And that's what puts them above other creatures. The power that the mind posess is the greatest in the universe , with it, men became gods capable of creating, inventing, innovating and even destroying the world that God created.
But one disheartening thing is that most men are yet to tap into the resources of their mind, and that's why they've found life difficult, stressful, and uninteresting. Because the spice they were given to light up their life, they've left it unexplored.
There's a whole lots of good you can do yourself, if you can make your mind your friend, and meditation a daily thing in 2019. If you can revel in the world of imagination and mine some treasures for yourself.
To start, get your place, your time, that will be good for your meditation.
It's your time to rise, think more, talk less as you cross over to 2019. Be Wise.

HANG YOUR EXCUSES
“Ninety-nine percent of the failures come from people who have the habit of making excuses.” ―George Washington Carver
If you look back to all the days you've spent in this year, you'll discover that excuses have always been there with you, and most of the times you've yielded to those excuses. Some are excuses for not acting, some excuses for failing, some excuses for going against your principles and lots more. And now you may feel like I shouldn't have made those excuses.
Anytime you're ready to climb a higher stair, the temptation to make excuses will come, anytime you're willing to chase your dreams, the temptation will also come. This is why you need to hang those excuses, hang them to death! Stop telling yourself it's not yet time, quit telling yourself I don't have enough resources or I don't have the needed knowledge or experience, do it!
The things you will succeed in don't need you to be the best, they just need you to be at your best. So why not attempt them and get for yourself some records of success. 2019 is going to be a great year, but it will only be, if you can take up the challenge hang your excuses and never give them room in your life.
it's your time to rise, begin to disappoint your excuses, as you cross over to 2019. Be Wise

SIEVE YOUR CHOICES
"We are where we are today, by the choices we made yesterday " -STEPHEN R. COVEY
If you've done the evaluation of your experiences that I talked about yesterday, you would have discovered how far your choices have brought you
The shape that our lives assumes is carved by our choices. So also the direction that our life is headed is determined by the kind of choices we make. If you're going to tell a different story in 2019, you've got to sieve your choices, drop the ones that has marred you, retain the ones that has made you and adopt the ones that can aid you as you journey towards making your dreams In 2019 become reality.
There are no two ways about making choices, it's either you chose or you don't, but either ways, you've made your choice. So your best bet will be to make the right choices, and to do that, learn more, expose your mind to new ideas and think more.
It's your time to rise, don't stay long at the cross road, make the right choice and cross over. Be Wise

EVALUATE YOUR EXPERIENCES
"Take a step back, evaluate what is important and enjoy life" -TERI GARR
We do say that experience is the best teacher, but I'll tell you that evaluated experience is. The secret to starting 2019 strongly is evaluating 2018 critically.
You've gone through 358 days in this year, and you've recorded some successes, failures, flaws, you have goals that you've hit and those you've failed to hit, the habits that worked and those that didn't work for you and also plans that you've applied in those day, some worked and didn't work. Take your time in the remaining days of this year, to evaluate all this. Because the success of 2019 is not in the resolutions you make, but in the revolutions you're willing to make.
A mad man was recently defined as someone who does the same thing all the time, but he's expecting a different result. The only secret to getting a different result this next year is to try some new things. That's the reason why reviewing 2018 is important, so that you can know what to drop and what to adopt.
It's your time to rise, explore your experiences in this year, so that you can step up and grow up in the next year. Be Wise

REINSTATE YOUR DESIRES

"Whatsoever the heart of a man can conceive, it can achieve" -Napoleon Hill.
2018 has taught me a lot, and one of the powerful things that 2018 has taught me, is the power of desire. Just as the fire in a local bakery burns so intensely, that's how desire burn within anyone who has it.
Your desire keeps you on your toes, it makes you become wrestles, unsettled until you get that which you desire to have. An example was given to us in the Bible. The story of Amnon and Tamar the children of David . Amnon desired to lay with his sister to the point that he became sick. That's what desire is capable of doing.
Most people mix up desire with a wish, but they are two different things. A wish will allow you to explore, enjoy and elongate your imagination, but a desire will make you equip, empower and establish the thoughts from your imagination. Your desire will move you into doing. It will fuel your passion, and drive you to accomplishment.
So as you cross over to 2019, tap into the resources of your desires. Desire some great things, work towards achieving them and let your desires be the power up you'll need as you journey on.
It's your time to rise, don't just sit down and fantasize, step up and actualize your dreams. Be Wise

"Compared to what we ought to be, we are only half awake. Our fires are dampened, our drafts are checked , we are making use of only a small part of our mental and physical resources "
- WILLIAM JAMES
We can only become better than we are now, when we begin to learn, and try things higher than what we have now. We measure our capabilites by how big the feats we attempt are, but the size of the feats we attempt is determined by how big we think our capabilities are.
You only build up limitations for yourself in your mind. There is no limit to what you can do or achieve, but before you can attempt your best, you need to believe your best. You need to believe that you possess unlimited potentials and that the things you can achieve are also unlimited. We only get to activate our best self, when we believe it exists. If you desire to push you potential to its maximum, believe you can, and begin to try.
It's your time to rise, those who succeed, exceed their limitations. Begin to try by breaking your limitations. Be Wise

Success becomes realisable, life becomes exciting when we activate and unleash our creative abilities.
- SAM ADEYEMI
Your creative powers are capable enough to create for you the kind of success that you desire. But you don't get to unleash or activate this powers, until you tap into the resources of your imagination. People who make things happen as a result of their creativity, are those who've come to the understanding that their mind is a gold mine, so they think more and talk less.
If you also want this class of people that make things happen, you must have a place in your life for solitude, you must have a period in your day that you'll dedicate to thinking. For life only reveal its secrets to those who can dedicate their time to think more about life.
It's your time to rise, as you set out today, think more and talk less. Be Wise
