Break New Grounds


Happy new week! As you set out for activities this new week, I want to challenge you to break new grounds and do something different.  Dare to be different. Do something better than the way you’ve been doing it.

Someone once said, if people knew what they had to do to be successful, most people wouldn't. Don’t be scared of taking new adventures or trying something new. Many of us know what we need to do to come out with distinctions, be the best employee, be a successful entrepreneur, the best spouse or make a relationship to work. Even we know what to do to have a glorious relationship with God.

If we know, then, why wait a little longer? Why procrastinate? Yours might be that you just like to do and follow what every other person is doing. You enjoy moving with the crowd. You are always moving by what others do or do not. Let me echo this to your ears that the man who follows the crowd will usually get no further than the crowd. And the man who walks alone is likely to find himself in places no one has ever been. Got that? Good.

You want to succeed? You want to be great? You want to be the best? Then dare to break new grounds. Dare to do what others says is impossible. Don’t give up till you breakthrough and break forth.

And remember, your better grounds (days) are not behind you, they are before you.

Got any question, comment or observation? Send it to ableabayomi@gmail.com

You and your Weakness

S o many times I have had interactions with people on particular negative habits they exhibited and more often than none their responses has always been, 'that's just my weakness'. Therefore I attempted to learn more about weakness and thus I'm sharing with you my discoveries about weaknessess. First,  a weakness is a crack in your wall. When you don’t master a weakness, it leaves you exposed, helpless and defenceless. Those who don’t pay attention to their fallibility fall in disgrace and face dismays.  Examples of weakness include but not limited to, Lack of organization, Exaggeration,, Discontentment, Gluttony, Procrastination, Lack of time management, Lust, Excessive spending, Anger, Jealousy, Impatience, Pride. Arrogance, Talkativeness, Inability to keep secrets, Inconsistency, Hot temper, Non-challant attitudes, Sluggishness, Indecisiveness. Lying , Laziness, Fear, Not knowing how to say no, worrying, rudeness and many more. There are 10 major thing...

Career Fulfilment

Many of us work an average of eight (8) hours a day five (5) days a week between the age of 18 to 65. The amazing fact about this is that we spend a total of 100,000 hours of our lifetime working. Can you then imagine doing something that doesn’t give you fulfilment? One of the keys to career fulfilment therefore is to enjoy what you're doing. It's burdensome to be doing what you don't like or created to do. It's totally frustrating and time wasting. And that's the reason many people are not productive in their work. When I said productive, I'm not talking about acquiring material possessions because even some that engage doing what they don't enjoy doing have been able to acquire cars, built houses and have the 'toys of life'. Productivity here is mind creativity; a sense of fulfilment, a sense of joy that comes from doing what you are wired or created to do.  This is the difference between those working to make a living and those working to make ...

Favour Demystified

W elcome to another Wednesday’s insight series.  I believe you are set to get another insight today so, let’s dive in. Dictionary defines favour as an act of kindness done or granted out of goodwill. It is also to show preferential treatment to someone. Favour is derived from the same root word as Grace, CHARIS. And this makes favour to be as powerful as grace. But while grace is totally unmerited and unearned, favour can be deserved, gained and entreated. There are two dimensions of favour; favour with God and favour with man. The greatest dimension is to be in favour with God because when you have that, favour with man comes cheaply.  You don’t beg for man’s favour when you are in favour with God, God himself will cause men to favour you-He will cause you to find favour with people regardless of how high and mighty they are.  Another truth about favour is that it does not have prejudice for colour, race, gender or location. You’re a candidate for favour as long...
