LIMITING BELIEFS

Image
Let's Talk About Limiting Beliefs! So through the weekend, I had a power-packed online conference I attended that repositioned my life and I'm sure many of us here also attended that summit - Headstart Summit. One of the Major takeaways I had from that summit was - Destroy Limiting Beliefs. While I paid close attention to the 17 different power speakers of that conference, from Disruptor Ubong King, to Disruptive Creator Kunle Soriyan. I discovered that significant progress in life is bounded (Permitted and Restricted) by our belief system. No matter your business or professional inclination, you are at the mercy of your mind. In fact, your business goals, financial projections, leadership goals, management targets are as big as your minds eyes can see. So if it's about the mind, you can understand why it's about our belief system right? Because  our mind is the headquarters of our beliefs. It not only processes those thoughts, it also decide to what extent you can even

THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT 2

There's a way that seemeth right unto a 21st-century youth. (Contd) She was really pissed off by asking for recharge card money from her petty-trader mum and felt the best bet was to seek from the guy down the street. * She could have helped mum sell and get some share plus effrontery to make her request, or better still learn a skill or help mum get more customers online... But she felt her beauty could pay without such stress. * The success of the first episodes usually blinds the eyes to the reality of the looming consequences. She counted her mint Mayra notes with shoulders high, hailing her bravery and applauding her courage. "Use what you have to get what you want" became her slogan. * The Second escapade got more cash but... * The pressure from friends appeared so much that his No sounded like evidence of cowardness. From a sip to a single gulp, then a bottle was no longer enough. * He was sure it was a wrong habit, but the glory and cheerings from his friends gave

THE WAY THAT SEEMS RIGHT

There is a way that seems right unto a 21st-century youth. It's a way that massages his ego, dignifies her beauty, and satisfies their longing to belong. At the junction lies two sound systems. One gives old fashioned advice on moderation, the other an active lively appeal to youthful exuberance. I'm scared of their choices. Not because I've lived through the lens of both adverts, but because I've learned from the mistakes of many, whose tears forever flow. Just beyond the junction are a kiosk painted pepper red, cockroach brown, and mango green. It's own by an influencer whose products appeal so much... He has a spicy flavor of old fashioned rightness, but his works are laddened with the justified abnormalities coated to seduce the mind for possession. I got perturbed when she gave a loud cry. Just after that came the sobbing of a male voice? What could have gone wrong I pondered....? To be continued...

Good Day Amazing Leaders. I trust we are doing good amidst the challenges! We are in a very defining moment of human history. In such a time when the world is having several lockdowns from our normal lifestyles and all we count as default. A point where we wonder at the possibility of adhereing to unconventional instructions,  all towards a sincere effort to safe our lives. COVID-19 has indeed taught us that we can do without many things we attached "constant" figure to in this life. Truth is,  if we must make the best out of this isolation period of history,  we must embrace the virtual realities that have been created to compliment physical experiences. And more importantly,  we must relish in the lessons this reality teaches us about the true longings of humanity. It's a time to deepen the learning process and pick up those skills that you've envied having,  but have been always robbed of, by your core stifling capitalist working environment or endless

GENERATION NEXT!

Which generation do you belong to? What’s peculiar about your generation?   With the trends of your generation, how much can you vouch for a better next generation? How passionate are you about giving your kids a world worth living in? What efforts are you making in ensuring the next generation celebrate memories of your lifetime? These are the questions that run through my mind from time to time, and I think you also need to consider them as important if you see life from the perspective of Making A Difference. Welcome to a technology age where the speed of communication has been geometrically improved, while deepened the gap of genuine human interaction with real feelings. Welcome to an age where kids are succinctly educated about the historic significance of memorial dates, without being taught the priority of forgiveness beyond painful past. An age where immorality is being justified with an excuse of self-actualization, body autonomy, and liberalism of

21st Century Leadership (Part 1)

Leadership Have you ever wondered about the difference between 1st World and 3rd World leaders? If at all you have, you'll discover that its not about the resources at their disposal, it is primarily a function of their MINDSET and Approach to Life. They have Measurable Visions, They are Productive leaders not consumptive. They think Transformation not just Change. They think about Service NOT being served. They think more about Human Resource Development than Financial Capital. They think from and sit at citizens level, they don't take pride in titles. They Think about and Love Knowledge base expansion than financial enrichment. They think of Value addition than Profit margin increment. Which kind of leader are you? Which kind of leader do you want to grow into? Friends, Its self-insulting to settle for a value lesser than your real worth! Join me explore these qualities in subsequent post.... Quintessential Danny!
