Moments Of Inspiration: Endless Possibilities with Pharm. Onyinye Dumebi

Greetings to everyone that will be reading this, I will like to state that I am not an inspirational speaker but I draw lessons from every single moment I live and I believe strongly in endless possibilities.

We have more possibilities available in each moment than we realise. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do. Life is so full of endless possibilities and only those who remain optimistic will get to see and utilize those opportunities. Most times our habituated conception of what reality should be limits our ability to see new possibilities when they arise. Stop thinking in terms of limitations and start thinking in terms of possibilities. Just like Chimamanda Adichie’s “danger of a single story”, I would also like to say that there is also danger in limiting our thoughts and viewing life from just an angle. The sky is too wide for everybody to fly and every new day is a new opportunity God gives us to explore.

These possibilities are greatly seen when we have a committed relationship with our creator. The bible reminds us in mark 10 vs 27 that with God, All things are possible. My emphasis is on ALL. And the surest thing we know is that heaven and earth will pass away but Gods word will never. When men have said it’s not possible, God has said it is.

Let’s not be shaken by the goliath we see today for we shall see them no more. With God lies all the possibilities, embrace him and our story will never be the same. And also let’s remain optimistic and hopeful as we deal with challenges in life. It’s not easy but with God all things are possible.

Thank you for dropping by to read this piece.

Monday Inspiration: Being Relentless, a drive towards Success

Hello my gorgeous readers, today I will be sharing articles on what others have said on how being relentless in Life's pursuit can make a success out of you.

Have a Successful week ahead.

Who says there are Limits? Kanya Sesser Says, even with NO leg, there are NO LIMITS!!!

Kanya Sesser is one lady that watching her video got me almost in tears. She is a model, a surfer, an actor and lots more. Kanya does not have legs to move but then she does not need support. She learnt how to do things on her own. Without her legs she got herself to be a face model, she got herself to be a surfer and lots more.

So what then is your limit? What have you been told will stop you from moving ahead in life? What is limiting you from living your dreams? Why have you decided to set a limit for yourself when there really are no limits?.

Until you begin to put to use every obstacle you see ahead of you, they will only end up stopping you from completing your journey in life.

The obstacles must come, but you have to learn to sail through them, you have to learn to fly through and you have to learn to drive through them.

Life is like going on a journey either by road, by air or by sea. There are bumps in every ride, but you do not stop when you see a bump, you rather learn to drive through them and head for your destination.

We should apply same principles to our daily life, you are the sailor, pilot and chauffeur (driver) of your life. God is the mastermind behind the creation of your method of transportation and he has trained you to learn how to overcome the bumps on every ride. Do not let the bumps stop you, because you have a destination ahead of you and you must get there.

So say to yourself today, I AM THE DRIVER, PILOT AND SAILOR of my journey and I have to drive well because if I crash, I crash alone and if I stop I will never make it to my destination.

I can only be a co-driver,co-pilot and co-sailor and I sure will be glad to help with that, but you control the wheels, I can only support, so does everyone around you support. Until you start your journey no body will understand that you even have a journey. Do not allow anyone tell you about the obstacles in life and scare the thoughts on your inside because now you know you can go through.

I tell you today, there are no Limits in life. You only get limited to what you feel you cannot handle.

What really has life got that you cannot handle?

Nobody can make you see the best in yourself, only YOU can.

Lets watch Kanya Sesser as she speaks about No Legs, No Limits.

It's up to you. Make that decision today and tell yourself, THERE ARE NO LIMITS.

Are you ready to live a limitless life?

Let's hear from you, what did you ever think you were not able to achieve?

HOW TO BE A WINNER AND STAY A WINNER PART 2

Last week on our moment of Inspiration segment, we discussed in the part 1 on five characteristics winners have and you too can possess to be a winner and stay a winner for ever. First of all, to all my Nigerians how did the Holiday go? Personally I loved it.

In this part 2, I will letting you in on 5 more characteristics that a winner should possess. The characteristics are a lot but I will be taking them gradually so we can digest them and practise them before adding more. They are short and simple if we decide to let them be.

Here we go, 5 Characteristics of winners include:

-Winners are Passionate: Passion is the drive to success. They love what they do and are passionate about it. They do not just do things but they do what they are passionate about. The inner obsession is the fuel to move them especially when the going gets tough.

- Winners are Hard Working: Winners are never found to be lazy about what they do. They put in all of their best, strength and time to see to the best result of their task.

-Winners Take Action: They stop speaking and start doing. Some people get stuck in their words as they never turn it into actions maybe because of fear or making a mistakes but a winners takes action.

- Winners are Risk Takers: Its a 50-50 chance of profit yet a winners gets into it. Why you might ask? That is because if you are a positive thinker no matter how tough the front looks you know you can make it, so winners always believe that taking the risk might just be a good try.

-Winners Learn from mistakes: Winners never dwell on their errors for too long. Rather they automatically use their errors to learn so as to prevent further occurrence of such. Rather than dwell on their errors they learn form it.

Let's hear it from one of our popular winners (Usain Bolt of Jamaica) on how he stays positive, believes in himself, takes action e.t.c.

Negativity are the nails used to build a house of failure

When things are not going well, we tend to blame other factors and other forces. We do not know how powerful the things we say stand as obstacles to our very own life. How did your exams go? My dear, you see that exam I wrote now I am not even sure of getting a D. How Did you know? Have you written the exam before and not passed or have you seen the lecturer mark the first page. How did that Job interview go? My dear the rubbish I said there, I was just shaking and I could not give a reasonable response, I am not sure I will get the job. How Did you know?

Have you heard of speaking things from what they are not to what they are supposed to be, that's what I call Positivity. I so much hate negativity that it takes me far from people. I was going to fall a victim of that sometime in my life or rather I fell victim but God rescued me and since that day I vowed to always stay positive with my words.

I went for an interview in one company and when I was done, one of the persons waiting to enter asked me "how was the interview?" and I started, I said that annoying panel, I think they planned me, the questions they asked me where totally different from everybody's own, I do not even know what made me waste my T-fare coming here. But God being so kind after saying all the Negative statements I ended up saying to the person but if the Job is for me let God grant me favour even though I said rubbish inside there. And I got home, I was asked the same question by my sister, I quoted the same thing I told that person that was waiting to go in, *lol* and then I was really bothered because I needed that job. 2 weeks later my phone beeped and I noticed it was a text message from that company and I did not even open it, I started talking again, why will people just waste their time to compose a "WE ARE SORRY, WE CANNOT TAKE YOU" text message, this people must be jobless o. I did not even bother about the message.

Some hours later I got a call from the company calling to confirm if I got the message, as they awaited my reply. Huh? My eyes opened and one kind of smile came to my face, though I did not know whether it was good or bad o and I started wandering, so what are they talking about, as the caller did not even make me know whether it was for good or for bad but then I thought to myself they cannot be calling me for bad (guess that was my only positive thought all through the period), I quickly sat up and tried to find the message, when I opened it, Ah!! My dear, it was congratulation o.

So imagine if they did not call me, I would have stayed there wallowing in my world of Negativity and that would have caused me a job offer I really wanted. Imagine if that had happened to me like 3 times, going for interviews, speaking Negative, they send me a message, I ignore it because I assume it is bad news and then no job was coming my way.  obviously I will start blaming one force from somewhere when actually my negativity was my major force that led to my failure.

In the chart of success you have to make a choice.

You do not stand in the middle, it is either you speak positivity and believe it or you speak negativity and forget it. You can never do both. You cannot be negative and decide to act positive , it does not work that way. People spend so much energy watering their ground of negativity than nurturing their ground of positivity. Negativity is not a fertile ground but positivity is a fertile ground that even if you do not see it today, keep speaking, the seed keeps growing and in no time you will be due for harvest. Remember there are no forces but you are the force that gives room to failure, because once you speak negativity the forces automatically get the key to your success but when you speak positivity you shut the door to every force.

Once you replace negative thoughts with positive ones, you'll start having positive results.- Willie Nelson

Are you ready to always speak positive?

If yes... start by speaking positive about all that you have once said to be negative. It is never too late you can start now.

Moments of Inspiration: How to be a Winner and stay a winner Part 1

From childhood I was made to understand there are two kinds of people, we have the winners and the losers. From childhood till adulthood, I notice there are people called out to be the best in sports, politics, academic competitions, business and various spheres of life and I also noticed that in the world at large people tend to scream and jump for winners but when one fails, heads are turned down and there is no excitement.

Do you ever get to wonder what these people do to stay at the top?, they are not doing anything that you cannot do. I often tell myself every human is created with one head, but we are left with the option of how to use that head right.

Staying at the top is not a thing that happens by chance or by luck, it is by knowing what to do and how to do it right. In this part 1, I will be sharing with you just 5 things a winners does that keeps them as winners:

Here you go:

 -Winners are Positive Thinkers: Positivity!!! Saying I can and it is possible. Winners never say I cannot, winners never say It is not possible. They believe the best out of everything they put their hands to do.

Keep saying it is possible, keep saying you can. Do not go negative about anything.

“An attitude of positive expectation is the mark of the superior personality.”  – Brian Tracy

-Winners take responsibility: A winner trains for his gold. I cannot train for you and you expect to make it, NO!!. A winner gets up and says this is my task and I will fulfill the very best of it. A winner takes control of his/her life and does not blame others or what goes wrong in it.

“Winners take responsibility, losers blame others.” ― Brit Hume

- Winners are humble: A winner never lets pride take his glory from him. He is ready to learn, open to new opportunities. A winner picks intelligent words from everyone, even a child because when those words are out together it accounts for your victory.

Self-praise is for losers. Be a winner. Stand for something. Always have class, and be humble. -John Madden

- Winners are self motivators: Winners do not wait for people to tell them you can do it or you cannot do it. They have the fire burning inside of them to keep them going even when the time gets tough.

“I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.” – Muhammad Ali

-Winners are confident:Winners believe in who they are, they try new things,they believe in their abilities and their talents. They are conformable in their own skin and embrace their strengths and weaknesses.

“The best way to gain self-confidence is to do what you are afraid to do.” – Unknown

Monday Inspiration: The principle of applying the correction fluid

Hello my amazing readers. How are we doing today? Its really cold out here but we stay thankful for every weather we get but sincerely, I feel like running home to my bed, tucking myself in my blanket or duvet like the foreigners will call it, turn the lights off and sleep, but yeeeaaah we have to work. Wheeew!

So what do we have in the bag today for another Monday Inspiration segment. I want to charge us today with the principle of applying the correction fluid.

What is a correction fluid?

A correction fluid or white-out, is an opaque, usually white fluid applied to paper to mask errors in text. Once dried, it can be written over. It is typically packaged in small bottles, and the lid has an attached brush (or a triangular piece of foam) which dips into the bottle. The brush is used to apply the fluid onto the paper.

A correction fluid is used to mask errors, it is used as a substance to place over an error, so something else can be written on it.

My question to you today is do you posses the characteristic of a correction fluid on your inside?. Not necessarily the bottle of the correction fluid but how many of us can act like the correction fluid?. How many of us can play the role of a correction fluid?. Whereby when one offends us we bring out the brush on our inside and mask off the error so it can be written over. Remember if an error is made on a paper there  are two options you either strike it off  or you use a correction fluid.

If you strike it off, you create a distance between the sentences, but if you use the correction fluid, you retain the space and you get the ability to  right the wrong 

The same thing happens in our lives, if we decide to keep a grudge or choose not to forgive we only create a gap between ourselves and the person involved but if we choose to bring out the correction fluid on our inside and mask the error then we give room for the person to re-write their wrong for good.

Do you have the characteristics of a correction fluid or do you find it difficult to mask off an error when someone offends you?

My Advice:

Try and make the characteristic of the correction fluid a part of your life, whereby you do not get to keep errors for too long but mask them so the person can right their wrong for good.

Learn to forgive, learn to look pass people's wrong.

It definitely is not easy but it is possible.

Humans, (Me inclusive) could be very annoying but how long do we want to store anger on our inside, why not just save two things, save the friendship/relationship and save the image you have of that person in your head.

Most times when someone hurts us we start to think otherwise of them, but I urge you today, Think of the correction fluid characteristic and apply it when you are at a point of anger or unforgiveness, so as to keep our friendship and relationships.

 Forgive quickly. The quicker you do it, the easier it is. ~ Joyce Meyer

Are you ready to let out the correction fluid characteristics in you?

If yes... start by masking out the error of the person who offended you who you still have not forgiven.
