LIVING LIFESTYLE ON THE EDGE


This talks about living life on the edge from day to day challenges we face on the edge of pursuit for goals.

BUILDING POSITIVE RELATIONSHIP WITH OTHERS.

“Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.” ~ Stephen R. Covey

Be Encourages of People

To be an encourager, you need to believe the best in people, to have faith in them. With a little faith in themselves, people can do miraculous things. 

In our society today, most people feel isolated. And many people don’t have the family support that was more common in thirty or forty years ago “Evang.Bill Glass note over 90 percent of prison inmates were told by parent while growing up.  They’re going to put you in jail’ Instead of teaching their children to believe in themselves, some parents are tearing them down. For many people, even those who closest to them don’t believe in them. They have no one on their side. Always remember that your goal is not to get people to think more highly of you, it’s to get them to think more highly of themselves. Have faith in them, and they will begin to do exactly that. The motto of French World War I hero Marshal Feldinal Foch:’’ There are no hopeless situations; there are only men and women who have grown hopeless about them.’ Every person has seeds of greatness within even though they may currently be dormant. But when you believe in them, you water the seeds and give them the chance to grow. The best way to show people your faith in them and motivate them is to focus your attention on their strengths.

CONNECT WITH PEOPLE:

In building positive relationship, you also need to learn how to connect with others.
To connect with others you must first touch the heart of the person you want to connect with. People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care one of the best things you can do for people is to expect the best of them. The greatest good you can do for another is not just to share your riches but to reveal to him his own. If you appreciate others, encourage them, and help them reach their potential, they will connect with you. There’s an old saying: to lead yourself, use your heard; to lead others, use your heart. Always touch a person’s heart before you ask him for hand.


Be a better listener.

Another ingredient in building positive relationship is the ability to listen to others.

No man would listen to you talk if he didn’t know it was his turn next.

Woodrow Wilson, the twenty-eight America president, once said,” the era of the leader must ring with the voices of people.”

The Value of Listening

Here are some listen values which you can apply in any where, anytime.

First, Listening show Respect. A mistake that people often make in communication is trying very hard to impress the other person. They try to make themselves appear smart or enter taming. But if want to relate well to others, you have to be willing to focus on what they have to offer.

Second, listening Increases Knowledge. Wilson Mizner said.” A good listener is not only popular everywhere, but after a while he knows something. Beware of potting yourself into a position where you think you know all the answers. All great leaders are great listeners, only if you develop good listening skills early, and then continue to use them, will you be a able to gather the information you need to succeed. As you proceed through life and become more successful, don’t lose sight of your need to growing and improving yourself. And remember, a deaf ear is evidence of a closed mind.

Third, Listening Generate Ideas. When you consistently listen to others, you never suffer for ideas. People love to contribute, especially when their leader shares the credit with them. If you give people opportunities to share their thoughts, and you listen with and open mind, there will always be a flow of new ideas. You will never know how close you’re to a million-dollar idea unless you’re willing to listen to people.

HOW TO PUT YOUR IDEA TO WORK

In this article am going to talk on how you can change your life by change the way you think

To put your ideas to work you most know what is an idea and source of good idea. Because in the world today there are many ideas that are not good idea some to destroy, and some to build, so we need to examine the source of our ideas,

You also need to understand that ideas are seed. What are really ideas? They are Spiritual seeds they are fundamental principles that round through every aspect of life. You also need to understand how human’s brains function. What is a brain? The brain is the equipment that God gave to us; through the brain we can capture ideas-seeds from Heaven and reproduce them here on earth to make a world better place. Because in the beginning of the creations of a things God did not finish everything .He only did the basic work and left the rest for you and I, God put everything you may need in this life inside the grand it is left for you to use your creative thinking to make them useful for yourself and the world.

Where is your brain child that is your ideas?

The whole world is waiting for your ideas don’t die without give birth to your ideas look at everything’s around you they are somebody else ideas, for examples look at the whole world today the most popular things that everybody want to know about now is a computer how do you  see it, you know that computer is someone else brain child which is an idea. The big question today is where are your brain child? If you can give birth to your brain child people can do everything to pay for your brain child.

Here is another question had you catch the idea that can make you great in life? If you’re answer is a yes good congratulation for you, the moment you catch an idea your future success is absolutely guaranteed because people with seeds have a harvest waiting for them in the future. Those who do not generate ideas will always have to serve those who do; I have seen that in life the most miserable man among all men is the man who does not have any idea that he is pursuit. 

How to Generate Ideas 

To generate ideas that will turn your life around positively.

You will need to reprogram your mindset which means you have to delete every negative thinking, and negative words out from your vocabulary. I reed that several years a go scientist discovered that the nerves at the speech centre of the brain control the nerves that control all the other parts of the body. So once a word is spoken, the whole body responds accordingly. Negative speech and negative thinking are major reasons why some people will not receive the ideas that will launch them into breakthrough because their minds cannot nurture creative ideas. If you want ideas that will separate you from the average then prepare your mind for them. Sometimes we do not attempt great things for ourselves because of lack of money. If only we knew that it is the quality of ideas that flow through our minds that matters. If you have an ideas you are not a poor man, remember that ideas are gateway to success. We should never say that things are impossible. 

The great French General. Napoleon was going to carry out, an invasion. One young officer came to him and said “sir, this mission is impossible. “The general turned to him and said.” The word “impossible can only fund in the dictionary of fools.” In reality nothing is impossible. The word impossible only exists in the mind. So prepared your minds for success. If you can do all you can do to eradicate the negative, impossibility words from your memory, and begins to install new information that will change your thinking. Commit yourself to readings books, and learn a new skill never think that you cannot improve.





CREATING A BETTER FUTURE

Fail to plan is plan to fail. We can guarantee the future of people by what they are doing with their life today. If you fail to plan you are planning to fail. Every seed have potentials of harvest in it, but until it had been realest in to the grand it can never become harvest.  
  “Even if I knew that tomorrow the world would go to pieces, I would still plant my apple tree”. –Luther.
Always remember that your ability to think, and plan, and act effectively will affect your success more than anything else.
the only time you, can have is now the most important thing is what you do with this moment determines your entire future. I have observed that no success without a price, Remember that difficulties come not to obstruct, but to instruct.
I learned later that often the most important thing you can do when faced with a new problem or situation is to stop and think for a while. Don't rely on your own limited knowledge. Ask someone for input, advice or guidance. Sometimes a few words or instructions from an experience person can save you huge expenditures of time or money.
"Success is a journey- a process, not a destination"
 In creating a better future there are many Sahara desert, you may come are cross. You may be crossing your own personal Sahara right now. The key is the persistence not to give up, and you can accomplish almost any goal that you set for yourself if you persist long enough and work hard enough. The only one who can stop you is yourself, always open to new lesson in achieving your goal you can learn anything you need to learn to achieve any goal you set for your self. Your personal boundaries are determined more by inner limitations than by other circumstances. The only real limits on your potential are the ones you impose on yourself by your own thinking.

"Before success comes in any man's life, he is sure to meet with much temporary defeat, and perhaps some failure. When defeat overtakes a man, the easiest and most logical thing to do is to quit. That is exactly what the majority of men do." Napoleon Hill                                                              

LET YOUR CHALLENGE TAKE YOU TO YOUR PROMOTION

“You and I are like rubber bands: We’re most useful when we’re stretched.”(John Mason)

What is difference between losers and winners? It is how they view problems. Every obstacles introduces a person to himself how we respond to obstacles is of ultimate importance.


Always remember that your challenges is what will bring your promotion, and you can never be promoted by the challenge you complain about but the one you overcome.
The story of young shepherd name by David, in the Bible is the greater examples for us to learn from. A giant called Goliath confronted the whole armies of Israel, and intimidated them including the David brothers, but they choose to do anything it was big obstacle for the brothers of David, and they concluded in their mind to do anything about it, but David did. What was the difference? Both armies of Israel and David brothers saw giant Goliath as an obstacle, but David saw it as an opportunity for him to be the next king of Israel. The point is that the way you look any life obstacles that confronted you in life make the difference. Let each new obstacle force you to go to the next level with God. All ways remember that great general had not being made in office but in the battle field. Obstacle intimidate average person, but successful people see it as opportunity to be promoted.

Look around you, there are many problems that are not being discover by the average person, always remember that every problem in life have solutions to it. You may not discover the solution to the problem. But that doesn’t means; there is not solution to it. The solution is there you are the one who doesn’t see it. Doctors solve physical problems. Mechanics solve car problems, even mothers solve emotional problems. You see everything God created was created to solve specific problem that was existing in life. Are you jobless? And you have been looking for a job and you couldn’t find one? That is an opportunity for you to start your own business where you can employ others that are jobless like you. Then you become your own managing director. There are gift and talent inside you which had not been discover by you, there are potentials inside you which can make you great person in life think about it  you are like a deep well full of waters. Thousand remain poor because they have not recognized the problems closest to them, that need to be solved. Remember that when Joseph solved the problem nearest to him, he moved into his next season of promotion. You were created to solve problems. Be a solutions to people don’t become a problem to others , you are not design for that you were design to be a solution to people that is the plan of God for you.



FINDING YOUR PURPOSE IN LIFE


This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.  ~George Bernard Shaw



  • The greater tragedy in life is not death, but life without fulfillment.

  •      The story of Joseph in the bible was god example, to learn from, Joseph had a dream when he was seven-thing years, old read (Genesis 37:6-9) because of his dreams his brothers hate him. One day when his brothers were grazing their father’s sheep, Joseph went to see how they were doing, when they saw him coming, his brothers plotted to kill him int5o a dry well there in the desert. When a band of traders came along, another brother suggested that they sell him into slavery. Thus, Joseph went to the land of Egypt as a slave.
  •   In Egypt he was sold to the Egyptian captain of the guard, whose wife accused Joseph of improper behavior toward her because he would not allow himself to be seduced by her. That landed him in jail, were he was soon put in charge of everything that was there. Sometime later two Egyptian officials from Pharaoh’s household were imprisoned with Joseph, because they had displeased the king. Each had a dream that Joseph interpreted for him. What Joseph foretold came true, although the official that was released forgot all about Joseph.
  •   Note: Had you been forgetting by the people, and you want to give up from pursuit that dream learn from this young boy, and continue you will make it, you will reach that goal.

  • The story continues … two years later. Pharaoh also had a dream. None of his magicians or wise men could tell him what it means then official who had been in jail remembered Joseph and spoke of him to the Pharaoh.
  • Joseph was thus brought from prison to interpret Pharaoh’s dream.
  • When Joseph was able to tell Pharaoh the meaning of his dream, Pharaoh put Joseph in charge of the preparations for the drought that he foreseen. Thus many years after he had dreamed it, Joseph’s dream came true. His brothers came to Egypt to buy food. Not recognizing him, they bowed down before him when they were ushered into his presence for; Joseph was governor of the land and the one who sold grain to its people. In time, Joseph revealed himself to his brothers and told them that God had sent him, a head of them to Egypt to spare their lives and that of their father and their families, so many years after God revealed His purpose to Joseph the dream was fulfilled years after God revealed His purpose to Joseph the dream was fulfilled.
