All big things started small.  Every giant was once a baby. Big trees were once small seeds.  Big mansions were once blocks. Big conglomerates were once small companies. Every big thing that has ever being was once small in size.  So, learn to begin small while you work out that big picture.  Believe in small beginnings while you hope for bigger things.  Keep building block by block. Keep working and reworking it out.  It is a matter of time. With consistency and unwavering commitment it will become big.  Your dreams and desires are valid and they are also achievable.   Start small but don't stay small. Start now. Don't say I'll start one day. No. Make today day one. And whilst at it, keep hopes alive and keep building.  Sooner or later, you will see that small thing grow into something big.  Begin small and continue building it into something big.

Your life will become a lot easier when you build yourself to the point of attraction.  Thus, when you become so good at what you do, you begin to attract people and things into your life instead of chasing them.  The chase has its place and time in the lifetime of your personal and professional pursuits.  And it must end at some point in time. It takes a lot more energy to keep up with the chase.  So, learn to build some leverage over time by building yourself to attract.  Truth is, the chase is hard. Chasing is energy sapping if you have to do things that way every single time.  There are some things you would have to chase in life but there are others you should attract.  You will make more strides in life if become a person or professional who attracts.  So, consciously build your abilities, gifts and talents, and skills to a point where these attract all your dreams and desires. Life becomes easier when you learn to make the law of attraction work for your good.   Lear

Give yourself permission to live and learn as you live. Life is for the living! Give yourself permission to live and grow by the day. Give yourself permission to believe, begin, build and become your best. Give yourself permission to make progress on the daily. Perfection is a myth. But progress is a must. Make progress on the daily, you will be happier. It is okay if you don't know or understand everything. You don't have to see the last step on the staircase before you use it. No one ever did.  But anyone who ever did try, made some progress and became something out of nothing.  It is only those who do not ever try anything that often amount to nothing.  The desire for perfection would often block you from making any meaningful progress.  So instead of letting that stop you from exploring and putting your potential and talent to good use, focus on making progress one step at a time.  Give yourself permission to make progress instead of focusing on perfection.  You

There is a reason your past is called the past. So, learn to move pass your past.  Truth is, there is absolutely nothing you can do about the past.  It will do you a lot of good, if you stopped revisiting the past and dwelling on same. You have no control over anything that happened in the past.  And you cannot change the past unless you have the mystical powers of a time traveller.  You have the present and it is called the present for a reason.  It is a present because it is a gift you get each day.  Today, your present, is a gift, so make the most of it and make your life better.  Change what you can today and let what you can't change go.  Focus on making the best of your present and you will not have to worry about tomorrow.  Accept what has happened and free yourself to experience now and what is ahead of you. Just trust the process.  You will be fine.

Self - care is not Selfishness!  It is only when you are filled and fulfilled that you can pour yourself into others to have them filled.  Take care of yourself mentally and physically because you are all you've got; before any other person or thing.  And while at it, also develop yourself intellectually into a person of substance, so you can pour something substantial into others. Self-care is not self-centredness and definitely not selfishness.  Take very good care of you so you can take very good care of yours.

I haven't been to the pool for some time and was hoping to do so today. But, thanks to the drizzling earlier in the morning, my plans changed and I went cycling.  For my first leg, I did 5.82KM in 39 mins. I took a break at the park to see an ongoing match.  I am about to take my second leg towards home.  Giving yourself some sweaty mornings are good for both mental and physical fitness.  Try it more often if you don't.

A couple of weeks ago, I received a mail, followed by a formal invitation letter to present my research work at a conference in Prague, Czech Republic.  The mail came from the program manager of the 10th World Congress on Cancer Research and Therapy. Last year, I had similar invitations to speak at conferences in Germany and Norway. And in all these instances, they found my works online.  Ours is a world gifted with many platforms where one can showcase their works.  Be deliberate about your online visibility and your value proposition as a professional.  The world is a stage and every act you stage, especially on social media is being watched. So, give your audience a good show. You can never tell who is watching and who will be  mentioning you in the right rooms.  As a professional, identify the platforms best suited for your field and publish your works on such relevant platforms.  Your digital footprints do serve as your online CV and they come in handy when it matters

Success in any field of pursuit requires the right mindset and skill set.  If you want to properly set yourself up for the good that life has to offer, then work on cultivating the right mindset and acquiring the right skill set. Life becomes more purposeful and relatively easier when your mind is set on the right things and your hands are skillful in executing your plans.  You are made for more. And if you can think more, you can definitely do more and have much more.  There are no limits when you have the right mindset and skillset.

Though many be the distractions  Moving forward remains the direction  Though many things make us cower  We’re resolute within us is some power Though circumstances seem untoward  The direction remains forward and upward  Though conscious of the possibility of failure The resolve is to fail and keep failing forward The resolve is to focus on the ball after the fall The plan is to stay focused till we conquer all  Focus! Focus!! Focus!!! Focus!!!! Focus!!!!! #GamelianPoetry #GamelianPoetivation

A lot of young people have left the scene this year. I have observed the development with some considerable trepidation and wanted to encourage young people, especially those who are thirty and above to pay more attention to their health.  Much as the need to build something worthwhile in this phase of life is important, we cannot continually do that at the expense of being healthy. When your health (mental and physical) is not at its best, you cannot be at your best.  And it is a no-brainer that, you can only enjoy wealth when you have good health.  Most of these untimely deaths could be traced to sedentary lifestyles. Some are also a result of what we are eating.  It is about time we learn to engage ourselves in activities that keep us fit and healthy. For some people, keeping fit and eating healthy is seen as a luxury lifestyle but it is not.  Rather than seeing the same as a luxury why not consider it as an investment in yourself? It is about time you became active by engaging your

Life is a cycle of experiences.  So live to enjoy the experience.  Experience the ups and downs.  Experience; the good, the bad, the ugly.  Come good or bad; love, laugh, and live!  But most importantly learn, unlearn and relearn.  Life is for the living. Learn to fully experience it!

Move in silence.  Make success of your pursuit. And let your results show your efforts.

Keep moving. Even if you are moving slowly. Slow movement is better than no movement.  And what truly matters is making progress as you move.  It is worth understanding that every move you make adds up. And they add up fast enough to take you farther from your starting point.  So start moving and keep moving on and on. Every movement as long as is in the right direction will take you an inch closer to your dreams than standing still.  There will be tough times but come what may, you should strive to keep moving.    Make some moves!
