Thoughts Of A Dreamer

Generally in life the highest performing groups or indivuals have one common denominator, THEY JUST DO NOT STOP. And the opposite is completely accurate the poorest performers also have one thing in common, THEY JUST STOP. They stop believing and they stop trying, they simply stop trying to improve. What defines us in the end is not how many times we fall or struggle but what we choose to do after we fall. Some of us fall down and stay down, they let their past mistakes and shortfalls define them. Winners are winners not because of how many times they fell but because of how many times they got up and tried again. All the greatest inventors in history just refused to accept failure, they saw it as a stepping stone. Once you see past mistakes and failures and begin to view them as something to learn from you will begin to see them in a different light. From the light bulb to the Tesla, it might have not worked the first time but they just didn't stop till it worked. Now imagine how...

  Mentality is the particular attitude or thinking of a person or a group. Our mentality plays a huge role in our lives. The way we think about circumstances and situations is what controls our outlook. What is happening to you has happened to someone for nothing is new under the sun . The differentiator between you and all the others who are going through what you are going through is mentality. I recently watched a video in which Jamie Foxx was  talking about the time Mike Tyson had gone broke and lost almost everything, he said he gave him a call and said how are you doing, Mike Tyson responded and said "All Praises to Allah, my brother I am happy". Now this is a warrior' mentality many of us seem to be without. Many of us are not victims in reality but in our minds, there is always someone somewhere going through worse but we magnify our problems and blow things out of proportion. First I want to remind you that if you focus on your lack or misfortunes, they will be...

In the new age of life and business one truth seems to persist, what we were yesterday need not be who we are today. The rate of change and revolution seems to be  faster than ever before. A fundamental change around the rules of business seems to be the order of the day, what got you where you are may no longer be sufficient to get you where you desire to be. In a book by Bishop T. D Jakes titled SOAR,   there is a chapter called, "A new model of momentum" , where he wrote about how the knowledge and skills that got you here may not be able to carry you to your next destination. In fact all you need is a new set of wings, for the new ever-changing world.  We need to be so good at what we do or our "job" that in the conversation there is US and everybody else. Take a Coca-Cola and Pespsi for example, I was going through one case study about their companies and the researcher wrote "The major market for soft drinks is overpowered by Pepsi Co and Coca-Cola compan...

There is a Christian song that goes: "This Little light of Mine, I am gonna let it shine" Today I want to share my thoughts on light, I believe we all have light. There is a whole different conversation to be had about the song I referenced to in the above paragraph, especially the part where it goes "little" light but that is for another day or another blog post to be specific. Maybe the next one, we are gonna see... Today I want you to examine your life, your efforts and actions, is there any light there?The Bible Says in Matthew Chapter 5 verse 14; You are the light of the world, a city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden. The Bible says you are light, meaning you are an illumination. Maybe my title  should have been "Do you Know that You are the Light of the World", because the Bible says you are the light, not just any light, THE LIGHT OF THE WORLD. A great man of God said "It is your light that will chase the darkness away". We are...

I recently started re-reading a book by Ekhart Tolle titled The Power Of Now, it is all about being and living in this moment. Most times we live in the past or the future that we completely miss the most important thing which is this moment. I will not dwell much on the book I claim to now be reading for the second time but I want to remind you that all we really have is this moment. If we want to change it has to happen now otherwise it may never really happen because no other moment is promised to you except for this one. It matters not who you were yesterday but you can choose now, at this moment to be a changed human being. When tomorrow comes its going to come in the Now, everyday may seem to be the same to some because all days are 24 hrs but every day is a new opportunity and in every day are a million magical moments. What a wonderful gift, this moment is. The greater gift is the choice of doing whatever you will with your time (moments). Today at this very moment you can ...

In my perspective, attention is a currency that we utilize in our daily lives. We choose to pay attention to certain people and certain things and this in turn creates our reality. Many pay attention to negativity and this turns them into negative people, the same goes for those who are focused on positivity, they become positive people. Just the other day I woke up feeling blessed, why? Because I pay a lot of attention to my blessings. I count them, I pray for them and I keep receiving them daily. The theory here is I believe I am blessed because I focus on my blessings, in essence I pay attention and I become the things I pay attention to, I also become more like the people I pay attention to. In church  this past Sunday the pastor spoke about how the congregation chooses to trust him and let him be their spiritual father. We pay attention to him, we give him our time and minds and allow him to elevate us and transform us into new and improved people. Who are you giving your atte...

I  was on  Youtube , looking for content to elevate me and transform me when i stumbled upon it... A short clip from one of Vusi Thembekwayo 's interviews where he was talking about how he is learning to see time as a continuum because many are times when we forget that this moment is not all there is but simply a "moment" in time. We get so caught up in the heat of the moment, forgetting that this moment is not all there is. When we go through hard times or experience pain, we are so caught up in that feeling /emotion that we forget that this  is just a moment in time and it is bound to come to an end at some point.When this moment comes to an end, another moment will exist, this is not all there is to your life.. Even when we go through good times, we find ourselves caught up in that moment of joy and happiness, that we forget that this is just a moment in time and not all there is to life. What an intriguing thought this is, it suggests that we are at all times cons...
