Self-analysis constructs straight paths

Self-audit or self-analysis is a qualitative measure of assessing oneself from time to time in quest of identifying any drift in pursuits, wallow in stagnation or flow in excellence. To audit yourself, order your conducts and attitudes aright and watch yourself from the back to see how far you are faring. You also ask questions about what you do that add no value to your accomplishments. All achievers in one way or the other had encountered a tap on their shoulders respectively through experiences they came across with. They also had series of encounters with encouragements and rebukes that made them who they really are.

Rebukes made them knew they were drifting and all they needed to get more applause was to re-align. Offer the opportunity to similar minded people to tell you about where you are going. You can know what goes on ahead of you by asking those who had been there. Similarly, you can also know the road you create is going crooked by asking those behind you.

Be consistent in your commitments

To be committed means “to be dedicated to a task or a purpose”. All great achievers both living or long gone have in one way and another stayed truly committed to what they did. You can also be like them!

You don’t waste your time jumping from one task to task to see yourself as a master in a particular task if that’s not the purpose of God for your life. That is called inconsistency. Rolling stone, I heard someone said, gathers no moss. By often falling on the same spot, the rain makes holes in the rock. Just stay true. Be committed to your purpose and consistent in your goals and you will become the very person you dedicated yourself to become.

Dreams are real

Don’t think dreams are not real by applying your studies in Physics or Biology or Chemistry. It may be a fact that dreams don’t have weight, neither do they occupy space. They lack mass and for that matter have no density. It’s a fact that we can tell the phylum to which dreams can be classified. However, they are mental imaginations, motivated by drive to fulfill a purpose, the reasons why Science existed. Science also existed once as a dream and today it becomes a reality. What you imagine doing today will be real if only you appreciate the grace to work it out. Shalom!

You are unique

I kept wondering over why among the 6.2 billion people on earth right now, including the 97,000 born last night, none of them have the same fingerprint. Each and every creature of God seem to be unique in such a way that none of its kind is either available or will ever be. You are the only you on earth. There can never be another you! He may create someone like you, but that fellow will just resemble you, but I not you! You are for that matter destined for a specific vision; only you can do that and without you, am sorry no one else can! Don’t always try to live in someone else’s shadow. Don’t attempt copying someone blindly! You have yourself to copy because you were created with a unique identity and only you can identify that you!

You will need that bridge one day

What do you do to your enemies? Kill them? Or bind them? Or call fire from heaven to burn them? Oh no, take it easy. You know why? “He who cannot forgive destroys a bridge over which he may one day need to pass”, says Larry Bielat. We live to see things turn upside down and it marvels us. It happened somewhere when a certain nurse became a patient for someone she once nursed and a once rich man was given a lift by the one who once opened the gate for him to bring his car home. So you see? Breaking the bridge is very fatal. Rescue the bridge because it may save you one day

Detractors are more like a public toilet

Do you know how uncomfortable it is to stay in a house behind a public toilet? So uncomfortable it is when detractors pursue you in life. You either get used to that common stench or you relocate. But bear in mind that the only time some detractors also succeed in life is to take a bite of your sweet skin, behind you. Hence they are called, back-bitters. The moment you begin to do something good, rest assured, you will get people to stand against it. If you don’t want to get accusers and critics, the method is easy; just don’t do anything !

It’s hard to be humble, but it’s necessary

Humility, to some people is seen as an “underwear”. They feel shy and it’s hard for them to have it exposed. Few others however see it as an “apron” and for that matter, they wear it outside and everyone can see it. Take it or drop it, humility is a secret of greatness. This is how Rev. J.K Ahiaxornu put it; “humility is a winning strength that got its source from the Holy Spirit; it means meekness, but mistaken by some to be weakness”. The fact that you humble yourself for a fellow does not mean you are a fool. It rather means you considered it as an “apron”, but not “underwear”. Humble yourself and the Lord will lift you up.
