David versus Goliath

 Most of us feel overwhelmed by the challenges we face such that fear begins to be the governing authority in our lives. When we live our lives in fear, we develop an inferiority complex. People who feel inferior & incapable are less likely to achieve anything above average. Fearful people live lives plagued with doubt and worry.

The story of David and Goliath is a representation of many of our lives, where we seem to be facing a big "giant" that supercedes our strength and ability. In my point of view, we are "David" and the world is full of challenges (Goliath's). Unfortunately in most cases we do not realize that we are more than capable of dealing effectively with our challenges and taking the opportunity that they bring with them. Challenges have in them opportunity, but it is not always easy to spot.

We often times find ourselves feeling small because of the size of what is opposing us, failing to remember in that moment that we are more than victorious. This type of thinking has a low energy vibration hence it cripples us and hinders our growth and development. Almost all the people i meet have this inferiority complex and they feel victimized by the world. This is NOT the attitude that a child of the most high should have.

My hope is that we can begin to overcome the obstacles that stand in our way through faith, hardwork and prayer-thus inspire others just like our classic example which is David. One of the things that set David apart is that he did not focus on the size of his enemy (challenge) but the size of his God, this gave him faith and courage to do the seemingly impossible in his generation. Be a solution oriented person and you will automatically set yourself apart from the helpless complainers who are wasting their potential. At times the challenge seems too big for you to overcome, but i want to remind you that you were "designed" to overcome. 

Most people died with solutions and answers, my intent in this text is to awaken the warrior in you. The world needs you to play your role and to defeat whatever type of "Goliath" standing in your way.

Imagine You Are A Success

Psychology says that we are controlled by what we think, believe or imagine more than any other factor. Our beliefs control everything we do, If we believed (or rather imagined) that wearing clothes was useless, we would all be walking around naked. It is very imperative that we understand that we control our lives through the type of thoughts we choose to hold in our minds. Take the person who jumps in front of a speeding car on the highway(commits suicide), in their mind their action is justified and probably seen as necessary hence it is carried out. Now that i have laid my foundation... In his book Psychocybernetics, Maxwell Maltz says "Realizing that our actions, feelings and behavior are the e result of our own images and beliefs gives us the lever that psychology has always needed for changing personality.Mental pictures offer us an opportunity to "practice" new traits and attitudes, which otherwise we could not do.  This is possible because again—your nervous sy...

The Unwritten Rules of Africa: Navigating a Complex Identity (Economics part 1)

The economic life of the African continent is shaped by a complex mix of historical events and current realities. To truly understand it, we must examine the deep-rooted challenges and psychological patterns that emerged from centuries of outside control and resource extraction. A History of Economic Struggle The rule of economic struggle is deeply rooted in a colonial history of dependency. Foreign powers didn't just come to trade; they methodically took apart existing African economies. They dismissed local practices as "outdated" and forced new systems upon the people. This historical redirection of resources created a fundamental weakness, turning the continent into a mere supplier of raw materials. All the infrastructure they built, like railways and ports, was primarily designed to transport these resources from inland to the coast for export. This framework created an economic gap and a dependency that has continued long after African nations gained their independe...

A Transformed Mind

Many of us are rigid in thought hence we are stagnant in life. The good news is that we have the ability to change our minds - our thought patterns (perceptions, beliefs..) One of my prayers these days is "God transform my mind". That is because i am well aware that if my mind is transformed, my life will be transformed. Our thoughts are often revealed in our actions. I am writing this right now because an idea came into my mind and i thought it was a great idea to express my revelation about my life in this manner. The action is preceded by thought. The word transformation is a compound word - transition & form or "formation". A transition takes time so it is imperative that we are patient and recognize that it will take time for our minds to be transformed. Transformation is a process often filled with pain and fear. That does not mean we must not persue change but bear in mind that it will be challenging.  Behaviors and/or habits lead to results but we often ...
