It's In You, II.

This is the second part of the post title I shared yesterday and in case you missed it, kindly read it here: It's In You.

A Sound Mind:

When your mind is sound, fear is nowhere to be found. You can train your mind to be sound. There is no gift of knowledge, only the discipline of study. You can train yourself to be sound in the mind by the things you allow yourself to do every day.

You are a leader as I have said earlier, so you need to have self-control and be disciplined. You cannot act anyhow. You cannot just do things without thoughts. So many bright minds have been ruined due to lack of self-control and discipline.

A life of self-discipline plans for the seed for the right outcome. You don’t wish to get to the top, but you have to work your way through it. Wishes don’t get things done, but acting gets things done. All the great people you see out there don’t wish, but they act and this is why you have to act it if you want to have self-control and be disciplined. It doesn’t work like magic or conferred on you overnight, but you have to act it.

As a leader, it is okay to fall but always learn from it. You don’t wish to have good children alone, but you also have to train them. In life, we create our outcomes. Often times we ask others to do for us what only common sense can solve. We all have one but most people always fail to use it. The lazy ones always find it tasking to engage their common sense. You can create your outcome by planting the seed of self-control or discipline. A life of self-control or discipline would chase away fears.

Deal With Your Insecurities:

I decided to detach this from fear because I want to talk a little more about it. As humans, we all have our insecurities. As humans also, we all have what we respond to. What motivates you when you wake up every morning? If nothing stirs you or motivates you, then you are as good as dead.

Be genuinely happy for others. When you are unable to accept the good things that are happening in the lives of others, then it shows you are insecure. If you are not happy for others, then how do you expect those good things that you desire to also come to you? Never attack what you secretly desire because if you do, it will move away from you.

Deal With The Tendency To Procrastinate:

Never put away what you are supposed to do today. Procrastination is indeed the thief of time and the robber of destinies. Many people have missed valuable opportunities because they deferred what they were supposed to do.

You need to stay focused and run your own race. Stop looking at what others are doing and walking at their slow pace. What works for the goose might not necessarily work for the gander. When opportunity meets preparedness, then success is inevitable. Never forget that today is the tomorrow you talked about yesterday.

We often wait for a perfect condition to do what we are supposed to do. We should never forget that there can never be a perfect condition. You have to make every condition perfect for you to operate. If you postpone till tomorrow what you are expected to do today, remember that you have just added to the workload of tomorrow which could have been avoided. The higher the load, the bigger the frustration. You can avoid some unnecessary pressure if only you would learn never to procrastinate.

Deal With Laziness:

In a simple man’s language, a lazy person is someone who finds nothing to do. What do you have in your hands? What can your hand find to do? Often times, so many people hide under the umbrella of ”I have nothing to do”. When the system is not giving you what to do, but what can your own hands find to do? We are always willing to be limited by our society or whatever. We are always blaming others for our predicaments but ourselves. ”Oh! If only that my uncle helped me out”. ”I wish my friend didn’t do that to me”. ”If only the government can do better”, and so on. We blame others while we fail to look inwards and see what we can do with whatever situation we have found ourselves. Your background should never allow your back to be on the ground. Your destiny is in your hands and not in the hands of whoever left or whoever failed to help you. Everyone has a battle they are fighting but they might not tell you.

A lazy person is also a person that did not finish what he started. When you have started something but you have chosen not to finish it, then you fall into that bracket of laziness too. You are lazy if you have books you have never read. You are lazy if you have books you have never written. You are lazy if you have assignments left undone. You are lazy when you have deals that you are supposed to seal but you chickened out. You are lazy when you have relationships that you are supposed to cultivate but you left it un-watered. Whatever you have started and you failed to see through is laziness and you need to deal with it by facing it and getting through with it.

Thank you for your time.
