Many times in life, I have thought about the problems and challenges of people who inhabit
third world Africa, and I have thought about how people of black hair and skin can solve
some of these prominent challenges of food security, health challenges, underdevelopment
and all the various challenges that confront us as a people, it is imperative for us as
a people who have not lived in countries where the government has taken absolute responsibility
for the welfare of people to stand and do what we must do to own our world and live
in a world we can truly call our own. Where we can take care of our own personal needs.
That is why I share alot of solutions, life changing solutions, about how people must
grow to maximize their potentials in their families, at work and everywhere they find
themselves. Greatness is real, Fulfillment is possible, but such things as greatness
and Fulfillment do not come to people who decide not to do something real about their
lives. Greatness does not just come by desiring, it comes by taking critical decisions taking
actions steps that will position you for the kind of greatness you desire. Imagine a Young
lady who is Obese and is trying to shed 4 to 5 lbs every week, and he or she just decides
to sit down and think about it, "well over the next few weeks, I will loose about 4 to
5 lbs, and he or she thinks they will lose those 5 lbs by just thinking. Now it doesn't
work that way, you must take critical steps like going out to exercise and shedding, reducing
your food intake, discipline yourself on what you must take and what you must not take.
The same way it works for our work, works for our career, it works for our family, we
must decide, we must make decisions that will guarantee the things that we desire in our
lives, if you want a raise in your pay at work, you must think about what you must do,
you must satisfy your boss much better, add to yourself and look for more critical skills
you must hone, how you must get more requisite skills and knowledge and probably additional
certifications to position yourself for that kind of relevance that you want. You cant
just decide to desire, you must desire and follow up your desire with critical work,
what new friends must you make? what new training must you attend? what new platforms must you
latch on to, what new relationships must you initiate, these are a few questions you must
ask your self, and as you do so, you will be different from every other person who is
in our world today, who is just thinking, who is just imagining, who is just trying
to feel that, wooah, the Government is not doing enough, and so he complains and complains,
you cannot just keep complaining, you must do something about your life, I will be back.
After you have answered some of these critical questions, then you must have the discipline
to evaluate, what are you evaluating, the ability to evaluate where you are and compare
it with where you must be, that is the GRADIENT FACTOR. You must be able to evaluate the gap
between where you are and where you must be, or where you want to be, okay? When you understand
this gap, then you must look at what actions must be taken to fill the gap. Such actions
might include the questions I asked earlier, when you have been able to provide answers
to those questions, and you have developed the willingness to do the things that you
must do, then you will find out that you are already closing the gap, Okay? If you have
a dream, that at the end of the year, your salary would have been raised from $1000 to
$1500, as you take actions to cover that gap, you might find yourself going from $1000 to
$1200 and covering this gap gives you some form of excitement that might encourage you
to keep pushing, to keep working, to keep acting, smart, so that at the end of the day,
you would have been able to achieve your critical results, now you see it's not just about,
how much raise you are able to get, it's also about what kind of peace you desire in your
family, how you want your family to grow, and what kind of emmm, personal actualization
or accomplishment you desire in any area of your life. but you see, the principles are
thesame, okay? From desiring a cup of coffee to desiring a salary raise, to desiring some
form of peace between you and your spouse, all those things are the same, and the principles
work, just try to close the gap between where you are and where you must be, and what must
you do to close this gap, take critical actions in the direction of what you want, don't keep
complaining to people, don't keep asking people, the wrong questions. Just do what you must
do, Okay? Most times it is not what we are not doing that is hindering us, it is what
we are doing that we are not doing correctly. So find out what exactly you are not doing
correctly and see what you can do to do them correctly. And as you close this gap, as you
close the gradient you will see yourself appearing at the apogee of your success, your greatness
is possible your success is real.
