CAN WE ALL HAVE HAPPINESS RIGHT WHERE WE ARE? - YES WE CAN & HERE'S WHY Happiness happiness, elusive happiness, how shall humanity attain happiness and contentment? So much has been said, researched and written about happiness and its pursuit. We pause for a moment and ask ourselves is happiness really attained by pursuit? or can it be attained by relentlessly going after it like a predator pursues prey? The world is awash with examples to show there are no guarantees for success in that approach. Happiness is actually available to all of us, every living being, how so? Happiness is first of all a state of mind and a conscious choice we make no matter the prevailing material circumstances because it comes from a higher level than just the physical and tangible. Happiness must  ensue from us rather than be pursued as an external object because it will never be found stashed in some secretly located warehouse or hidden treasure trove, each day we wake up we have a choice...

WHO WORKS FOR A GOOD COMPANY, SO GOOD THEY CAN BRAG ABOUT? WELL CONGRATULATIONS....BUT, CAN THE COMPANY EQUALLY BRAG ABOUT YOU??? We all have an idea of "THE" companies and organisations which everyone envies to work for, these companies are the standard bearers in their fields of operation within various economies from country to country, some are international  and even rule the roost in the global stage. Such organisations have been built by visionaries, passionate entrepreneurs  with focus and unwavering purpose. The question therefore to each one of us who finds themselves in the payrolls and premises of such companies daily is; ARE WE DOING OUR BIT diligently and vigilantly to ensure we propagate the vision, culture and most of all the kind of work ethic expected of individuals working for such organisations?? If we found it being an iconic organisation getting all the accolades, what are we doing today, right now to ensure the accolades keep coming and the organi...

BEYOND THE PAYCHECK AND THE PROFIT-SHARING - WHY WE SHOULD ALL TAKE A PEEK, IT'S WORTH LOOKING Fact: Bills are paid with money, the goods we consume even the most basic ones are bought with money! Hence the necessity for all independent thinking individuals who attain legal age of majority to rise up daily and literally earn a living until they reach at least retirement age when this socio-economic obligation to earn a living gets relaxed. In light of the above we are driven as people to pursue money with ruthless tenacity all  in a bid to secure a comfortable life and get out of the proverbial rat race, we pursue it even with vengeance for being elusive and denying us the good things of life we desire. It is whilst we get lost in these   maddening pursuits and exploits in our various occupations that we lose the point of being alive and forefeit certain invaluable and priceless benefits of being in a work environment and belonging to a certain community with common obj...

LEADERSHIP; WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER FEEL ALONE THROUGH CHALLENGES AND CONTROVERSY AS A LEADER No matter how good a leader one is, troubles and challenges are guaranteed to come one's way along the course of leadership. This is due to the varying and in some instances competing schools of thought out there and belief systems. So anticipating challenge and controversy is good strategic thinking on every leader's part. Every leader who is authentic and democratic gets buy in and voluntary following of those who share a common vision and ideology with them. This literally makes the leader the face of the group as well as it's voice. However when the inevitable happens and challenges come one's way sometimes leaders feel attacked as individuals and faced with mountains to move alone. This can be disheartening and devastating. It is under such circumstances that as a leader one must realise that as  somebody once said "Though he may battle alone, he fights with the ...

DID YOU KNOW? - THERE'S PHYSICS AT PLAY IN EVERY SUCCESS STORY Desire alone is not enough, it is a good place to start though, desire is scalar in nature it has magnitude, so much magnitude it can burn one on the inside and we call it a burning desire. However to unlock it and realise victory we must employ  actual calculated vectorial action with both magnitude and direction to get us from where we are right now to where we intend to get, once the action gets rolling and we maintain focus doing what needs to be done in good yet tenacious and unrelenting faith we find ourselves even beyond our imagined ultimate destination. When energy is thrown behind a genuine cause of which there is total conviction no amount of pitfalls and obstacles should deter us from manoeuvring and staying the course. Desire to succeed alone is not enough, it requires the tenacity, determination, perseverance and sober mindedness. Sometimes we need to dig a little deeper and put in more than the bar...

WHEN THE VISION FINALLY SPEAKS, WHEN IT TARRIES NO MORE! Having envisaged a certain desired state of affairs and order of things with faith and trust that it surely comes to pass when the time is right, with vivid imagination one can't help but feel as if they have experienced that scenario before in real life. One may also initially feel as if one's mind is playing games with them as things play out, however we soon realise that it is all real and could be happening a second time indeed because it would have occurred in the mind already and validated by our desire to realise it because a visionary always works with the end in mind. The strategy is designed backwards from finish to start and executed forwards with fiery determination. This is what happens when the vision speaks! When it finally comes to pass and tarries no more at the appointed time. Our faith is revived and whatever doubt that may have crept in during the season of waiting is dispelled like the darkness...

HOW STEWARDSHIP ACHIEVES MORE - MERE COOPERATION BECOMES TOTAL COLLABORATION Stewardship as a concept is phenomenal, historically a steward was an officer in a royal household  and if one looks up the definition of this word we find among others these three meanings given as follows; (i)A person employed to manage and take care of another's property, big house or estate. (ii) An official appointed to  supervise arrangements or keep order at a large event (iii) A person who looks after the passengers on a ship, aircraft or train and brings them meals It is interesting to note that in one dimension the steward seems to be a lowly individual who looks after passengers, brings them meals whilst they sit and give orders, in another dimension the steward is an official who is appointed to manage the property of another, supervising with authority. The two dimensions may seem to be on the extreme opposite ends with one wielding power and the other having power wielded over...
