Dare to Predict the Future by the Awareness of a Unique Purpose

Ponder about it: Haven’t most of the unfocused people around you totally lost sight of their purpose? Identify your purpose. Napoleon Hill said, “There is no hope of success for the person who does not have a central purpose, or definite goal at which to aim.” Decide upon your major definite purpose in life and then organize all your activities around it.

Purpose is unique. When God blessed man with a beautiful environment after creation, He told them their purpose [Genesis 1: 28-30]. It is just becoming more unfortunate when the people you know are complete strangers to themselves. Dr. Wayne Dyer asserts, “Everything in the universe has a purpose. Indeed, the invisible intelligence that flows through everything in a purposeful fashion is also flowing through you.”

Steve Goodier, from Follow Your Bliss, declares, “Not everybody can identify a purpose in life. But when you do and when you pursue it, you will be living the kind of life you feel you were meant to live. And what’s more you will be happy.” You have the green light to feel good. Just focus towards the direction in which your effort is going.

Consider it: “All successful people, men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day towards their distant vision, that goal or purpose” [Brian Tracy]. Always find yourself in that position of discovering your goal and aiming towards a unique future. The most frustrating and exhausting thing in life is to live it not being aware of your purpose.

Helen Keller discovered the right idea: “Many persons have a wrong idea of what constitute true happiness. It is not attained through self-gratification but through fidelity to a worthy purpose.” Never wish to be anything be what you are created to be—your purpose. “We must have a theme, a goal, a purpose in our lives. If you don’t know where you’re aiming, you don’t have a goal. My goal is to live my life in such a way that I die, someone can say, she cared” [Mary Kay Ash].

Nothing Significant Can Be Accomplished Without Preparation.

Preparation. Does this word scare or give you inspiration at every moment? There is nothing significant that can be accomplished without equipping or training ourselves. “A good education is not so much one which prepares a man to succeed in the world, as the one which enables him to sustain a failure” [Bernard Iddings Bell]. Don’t tolerate failure to meet you without you being prepared.

When you spend time preparing yourself, no one will stop you from accomplishing a good result. I agree with Fred Couples when he said, “When you’re prepared, you’re more confident. When you have a strategy, you’re more comfortable.” The most significant people are those who prepare themselves today to accomplish tomorrow. H. Jackson brown Jr. remarked, “The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.”

Benjamin Franklin said, “By failing to prepare you are preparing to fail.” Can you constantly progress if you cannot equip yourself? Impossible! Ralph Waldo Emerson declared, “Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for there victories.” Our readiness to undertake the outstanding opportunities and courage to start living a high-quality life can greatly add to our success. “It is better to be prepare for an opportunity and not have one than to have an opportunity and not be prepared” [Whitney Young Jr.]

Life is about preparation, not luck. Consider what Seneca said, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” When Abraham Lincoln discover the importance of preparation, he said, “I will prepare and some day my chance will come.” The same kind of preparation that brought you to where you are today, can necessarily accomplish your dreams when better chances runs your way. With your permission, nothing difficult can stop you from going forward.

Malcolm X said, “Education is our passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today.” When you focus your time and attention on things you are gifted to do, every limitation that should stop you from progressing, run absent–people begin to imitate you. Raymond Berry said, “The most prepared are the most dedicated.”

As a refugee youth, I've value the importance of Preparation than Pleasure! You can do the same and live your Dreams.

May God bless your day!

In What Direction Is Your Dream Taking You?

JOEFORLOVE Asked: In What Direction Is Your Dream Taking You?

For you to start accomplishing your dream “Hold fast to dreams, for if dream dies life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly” (Langston Hughes) “You can’t build a reputation on what you are going to do.” (Henry Ford) Don’t try to demote yourself for something you are capable of; instead try to accomplishing something repeatable within yourself.

Always be proud of moving yourself right. Kahlil Gibran exhorted, “Advance and never halt, for advancing is perfection. Advance and do not fear the thorns in the path, for they draw only blood.” David Lloyd George counseled, “Don’t be afraid to take a big step. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.” To move and advance yourself when you are perfecting a dream, you must visualize something which will actualize.

Andrew Carnegie said, “Any thing worth having is worth working for.” Failure is not an option. Any thing you wish to have in life is worth getting. Jawaharlal Nehru said, “Success often comes to those who dare to act. It seldom goes to the timid who are ever afraid of the consequences.” Charles Buxton warned, “You will never find time for anything. You must make it.”

You cannot accomplish your dream by sitting on it. Get up and push your dream ahead. Dr. Tale Turner said, “Dreams are renewable. No matter what our age or condition there is still untapped possibilities and beauty within us waiting to be born.” Listen to Robert Goddard, “Its difficulties to say what is impossible for the dream of yesterday is the hope of today and the reality of tomorrow.”

If you cannot dream of advancing by doing the right thing, you will regret not reaching them. You will never be the person who can never quit dreaming. “Having a dream is not trying to believer something regardless of evidence, dreaming is daring to do something regardless of consequences.” (John Mason)

Are You Living Learning How To Live?

“The tragedy of life is not that it ends so soon, but we wait so long to begin it.” Anonymous

Life, according to Microsoft ® Encarta ® 2008, it is ‘a term used to summarize the activities characteristic of all organisms—ranging from such primitive forms as cyanobacteria (formerly known as blue-green algae) to plants and animals. These activities fall into two major categories: reproduction and metabolism. The mechanism of reproduction is now known to be controlled by the properties of certain large molecules called nucleic acids.’ Practically, this definition means nothing to a group of youths who has no adequate experience to enjoy the wonderful opportunities that life offers. Shamefully, a deserted mother in the West of Africa, especially Liberia, do not have enough words to explain to her five kids the real meaning of life. Yet, we are all under the heaven living LIFE.

Spanish writer and philosopher, Miguel de Unamuno y Jugo (1864 - 1936) once reflected, “Life is doubt, and faith without doubt is nothing but death.” What is the value of life if we do not value it?

Do you know the meaning of life? Have you personally encounter the definition of life? As a young boy, I believing that life is the period between birth and death. According to classic dictionary, it is the quantity that makes living animals and plants different from dead organisms and inorganic matter. If this is a true definition of life, why some human live as if they are dead? Why should a kid suffer without a parent, a girl without self-esteem, and a youth without a vision? Are they living or living dead? If for any scientific or divine reason a dead body cannot talk, think and help itself, is it different from a living individual who does the same?

One morning a Ghanaian friend came running to me saying, “Joe, an old man told me to tell all my friends that we should try our best to visit the court room, the church and the mortuary. I think before people die it is logically they visit these three places.” After he left my house, I knew that I was not dreaming. It may be what U.S. poet, Edwin Arlington Robinson (1869 - 1935) said, “Life is the game that must be played.” Visiting these places could help me live a better life. However, as a Christian who have confess with my mouth the Lord Jesus, believe in my heart that God has raised Him from the dead, can it benefit a youth like me to visit the court room, the church and the mortuary? To get rid of such an elusive demand that was creeping my mind, curiosity found the following:

THE COURT
U.S. proverb declares, “In hell one should pay court to the devil.” The court is an insecure room full of few crooked judges [unjust men and women who neither feared God nor man] and corrupt lawyers getting the innocent guilty and the guilty innocent. If you do not believe what you are reading, visit the court room few hours to understand how this life is lived and ruled without your concern. Pat Robertson, author of the best-selling, The New World Order wrote:

“One man set up a loaded shotgun in the bedroom of his farm house.
During the night a burglar attempted a break in and was shot in both
legs. Later, the burglar sued the man and collected a $30,000 award.
In another case, a jury ordered an outdoor restaurant to pay $3 million
to a patron who was stung by a bee.”

Dr. Robertson also quoted Charles Evans Hughes of the Supreme Court who had made the cynical statement, “We are under a constitution, but the constitution is what the judges say it is.”

THE CHURCH
The Church is the body of Christ. It is a place I must fellowship and encounter my spiritual blessing. I do not know about you. If you are a Christian or not, you must attend a Bible believing Church. Everything you need in life [wealth, success, education, fulfillment, etc] is indeed connected to your faithfulness to meet God. Religiously, find a place of worship. Listen to Desmond Tutu (1931 - ), South African clergyman and civil rights activist, “Beware when you take on the Church of God. Others have tried and have bitten the dust.” Unfortunately, now-a-days, people take the church [God house or holy place] for fun. Robert C. Savage wrote:

“Some go to Church to take a walk,
And others go to laugh and talk,
Some go to Church to find a friend,
And some go there an hour to spend.
Some go to Church to meet a lover
And some go there a fault to cover.
Some go to Church to learn the preacher’s name
And some to criticize his fame
Some go to Church to doze and nod
And some go to worship God.”

It was said that, “In the nineteenth century men lost their fear of God and acquired a fear of microbes.” If you are living a life going to Church with the wrong motive –change it and establish a fresh relationship with God by loving your neighbors and worshiping Him. Remember, “Going to the Church in the morning is nullified if you plan to go to the devil in the evening.” [Robert C. Savage].

THE MORTUARY
The Mortuary is a funeral home or a place where the dead are kept. Maya Angelou (1928 - ), a
U.S. writer wrote, “Death to the young is more than that undiscovered country; despite its inevitability, it is a place having reality only in song or in other people's grief.” If you like it or not, as soon we are giving the only key to eternity [death] we will all end there some hopeful day to come! Visiting the mortuary I think will tell you how valueless you are when you do not have the birth of God in you. The dead bodies of wonderful people are madly handle any how. With your own eyes looking at beautiful but potential humans who could be a blessing to generations to come, you will never waste your life and it’s precious time spending it on things that cannot benefit to yourself and happiness to others.

Beyond my personally knowledge, I have learned that, “The study of the ways in which the dead are treated in different cultures leads to a better understanding of the many diverse views about death and dying, as well as of human nature.” According to research, “The essential purposes of modern embalming are preservation of the body to permit burial without unseemly haste and prevention of the spread of infection both before and after burial. Cosmetic work is used to restore injured facial features or for aesthetic reasons.” This would happen to you. How you invest your life will make you appreciate it when it is about to end. Robert C. Savage reflected, “Oftentimes we don’t appreciate life until it’s time for it to end.”

I cannot scare you! My duty is but to generously inform and motivate you to love other, love God and live a fulfilled life. I believe you are destined to not fail in life. No. Regardless of who you are, God have designed us to overcome the toughness of this world. Leon Trosky said, “Life is not an easy matter… you can’t live through it without falling into frustration and cynicism unless you have before you, a great idea which raise you above personal misery, above weakness, above all kinds of perfidy and baseness.” You stand a better chance to pile up every good thing this earth have. Learn to live your life by organizing your desire dream. Prioritize your goal and go to work. If you don’t, generations to come will never remember that you have ever existed.

Knowledgably, the best way to live life is to experience life. A better way is to live it without ending in the brutal hands of poverty. And to do this, make reading a habit and constantly read the BIBLE [Basic Instruction Before Leaving Earth]. Robert C. Savage wrote in pocket Wisdom saying; “An atheist approaching the end of life made this confession, ‘There’s one thing that mars all the pleasure of my life… I am afraid the Bible is true. If I could know for certain that death is an eternal sleep. I should be happy. But here is what pierces my soul… if the Bible is true I am lost forever?’”

Research from "Eschatology," Microsoft® Student 2008 [DVD], Redmond, WA: Microsoft Corporation, 2007 reads, “The ideas held throughout history concerning the future of the world and of humanity are only imperfectly known today. The belief in a coming destruction of the world by fire or flood is found among groups in the Pacific islands as well as among American aborigines; this belief probably did not originate in astronomical speculation, but was rather engendered by some terrifying earthly experience of the past.”

It is time you start investing time in things that you will spend the rest of your life doing. C. P. Kettering said, “My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.” Going to Church may prevent you from entering the court room or entering in the mortuary. “He who provides for life, but makes no provision for eternity is wise for a moment but a fool forever. God’s children never says goodbye for the last time” [Robert C. Savage].

IDEAS WON’T WORK UNLESS YOU DO

Unless you do IDEAS won’t work. Listen to Thomas Edison, “Nearly every man who develops an idea works at it up to the point where it looks impossible, and then gets discourages. That’s not the place to become discouraged.” Keep working until a single idea can create a successful avenue for you.
‘Do,’ is an action word. Until you know what you can do, you will always be told what you can’t do. But ideas are universally created to help you get what is available to you. Working towards a relevant success without a strategic idea leaves one in a lasting failure.

Zig Ziglar mused, “Far too many people have no idea of what they can do because all they have been told is what they can’t do. They don’t know what they want because they don’t know what’s available to them.” In other words, until you have an idea, you will never discover what you can do. In fact, what you think you cannot do places a limit on your mind to constantly see temporary conditions as BIG problems.
Thoughtfully, I have come to momentarily accept the opinions of statistician who believe, ‘many Africans are poor because they lack strategic thinkers.’ We fail to use our minds to produce creative ideas and tend to use our physical strength to work very hard. Where is our eagerness for development? Thomas L. Watson, Sr points it right when he said, “The great accomplishment of man have resulted from the transmission of ideas and enthusiasm.”

The best way to make your life better is to create an idea and work with it, be with it and stay with it. A better way is to start acting upon the existing idea you have available to you. Never quit –keep doing. Pay attention to Marie Curie, “Nothing in life is to be feared. It is only to be understood.”
Ideas have endurance without death and life without existence; men may die, nation may rise and fall; generations will come –generations will go but an IDEA lives on. W. Clement Stone advised, “To solve a problem or to reach a goal, you don’t need to know all the answers in advance. But you must have a clear idea of the problem or the goal you want to reach.”

People without an idea are causing more harm than good. In fact the problem gets bigger when they refuse to help implement the good ideas of others. For instance, marry men see it less important to create innovative means to be a faithful husband; business tycoons are looking for quick or illegal means to make more profit than applying marketing strategies and unemployment is silently increasing across nations because youth still depend on governments or relatives to survive. This means, our world runs bad without idea implementers.

Innovatively, here are ten facts about IDEA:
1.An Idea is one of the most cheapest commodity that can be manufacture with out paying a price
2.An Idea is the foundation for all achievement: great or small
3.An Idea won’t work unless you do
4.An Idea gets you what you think is unavailable
5.An Idea gets us interested in positive matter and productive business
6.An Idea keeps the world moving. It can never be stopped
7.Only great minds discuss ideas. Small minds? Never!
8.You only need an idea to become successful
9.Those who lack ideas are the poorest of all
10.An idea is one of human treasure that can never face death. If is God’s tool for creation because it lives on.

I love how Norman V. Peal puts it, “Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty hands and empty hearts can do that.” Wendy Hearn, from: Use Your Unique Abilities to Shake the World, wrote, “What are your ideas? What are you really good at? What do you want to change?”

Your thoughts are special. Creation is awaiting changes through your ideas. Do not waste your precious moment on negative ideas that will not help you. Rather, think, invent and invest on how to make a single idea work! David De Notaris said, “An idea gets us interested, but a dream gets us excited.” How interested are you?

Hyman Rickover points to the significance of ideas when he said, “Great minds discuss ideas. Average minds discuss events. Small minds discuss people.” Great minds allow their imagination to fly at any height in search for ideas. Victor Hugo once observed, “No army can withstand the strength of an idea whose time has come.” Keep on ‘doing,’ to make your idea work. Create all possible means to generate enthusiasm to further a great idea that will inspire a person or someone!
