"Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any other." So said Abraham Lincoln
I was with my mentor Pastor Tola Seedy one day in his office and he asked me, Ben what is your goals, no no he acclaim "what is your ten(10) years goals and my reply wasn't far fetched; I want to be the youngest writer and a renowned public speaker so I replied. My mentor was so conscious to know that I have many dreams perhaps, he assumptions were right and thereafter he said email me all your goals and aspiration, that I did.
Many a times our minds are full of great desires to achieve but our obstacle to thus many of these great dreams is that they only come across our minds and like I said in the other writeup" the mind may be willed but the brain is weak to carry cross our success, once a dream come to your mind the best thing to do is to write them down, after my long conversation with my mentor I will never go out without a pen and a book or I sometimes use my phone and write, most often inspiration on quotes.
I know many of us are familiar with the saying, "readers are leaders." Here I am, telling us that writers are leaders.
O yes, writers are leaders, however, this doesn't mean that every high achievers must be an author like Sam Adeyemi, Barack Obama, Obafemi Awolowo, Sesan Kareem my achiever friend or Osondu C. Benedict. But they are those who write down their goals in life, they write down their daily plan, they jot down in meetings, seminars and conferences. They are always writing, writing every good ideas that comes to the mind.
If you really want to live an extraordinary life, stop trusting your brain, so said the mind. If you have any idea, write it down. Write out your yearly goals, medium term goals and long time goals or if the year seems far write down your monthly plans. Be a writer. Write daily, write always.
The good news is 80% of those who write down their goals achieve 80% of it. Last year, I did this, and even my friend Sesan Kareem achieved 85% of his goals within a year. The bad news is that those who write down their goals are so few, compared to the likes of those educators and football players we have with great spectators watching to see them achieve in Emirate and Stamford bridge stadium. Perhaps, that is why we have so few super achievers in the world, like that of football whose wages are more desirable.
In Nigeria, it's very possible for people to build a 3bed room flat without planning most often some people stop at the end point of getting to achieve it because of the failed plans. If you are keen about living an extraordinary lifestyle then you need to be a writer and have a road map on how to get to your destination.
I just finish achieving most of my 2015 goals and medium term goals and now pursuing most of 2016 set goals. Wow, it's interesting knowing where you are going.
Today, write your goals and objectives for the day. Jot down in a meeting or in a seminar. Just write, we become more of what we write daily.
Remember, leaders are writers and writers are leaders.
You will succeed
