THE ARCHITECT’S MIND

You can hardly build anything in isolation. One man’s dream could be a whole generation’s work to accomplish! 

As affirmed by Ed Rowell “A dream is a better future in need of an architect who will show others how to make it a reality.

It may just be smart to outline your vision for 2014 this early in the year in order to enlist the desired support you need. Conscripting the support of the appropriate team can be a daunting task particularly if your dream is an uncommon one!

Again, people do not just follow anyone for following sake- they must be convinced in the vision and dream the fellow is pursuing. Remember to write your vision out clearly for easy understating and execution.

What Next!

i.                    Enumerate your vision for the year 2014 and beyond?

ii.                  Don’t just make a mental guess of it; carefully list and write them out clearly;

iii.                Can you accomplish that dream alone?

iv.               If your answer is not in affirmative for (iii) above; humbly enumerate those you think will be required to accomplish the task;

v.                  Enlist the support of your vision helpers;

vi.                Begin today to move the vision forward, every single step and action is vital in the accomplishment of a dream.

Thought for Today

For the vision is for an appointed time……though it tarry….. it will surly come to pass!

SUSTAINING THE CHANGE

Thursday 2^nd January 2014  

To really sustain new values, one must wittingly unlearn negative habits to acquire new ones; just as we need to gracefully unfriend some fellows for the new life we wish to live.

If you take stock of your acquaintances, you may like me sample a few who have over stayed their welcome! I don’t mean to belittle anyone by this; but the good book asks in rhetoric “if two can walk together without agreement?” Emphatic no, will be the obvious answer!

Hence carefully seek to know who and whose company you need in 2014. No self-deception here-a person can only add value or deduct it from you.

Knowing who you need this year

I may not know who you need in specific, but I can help you identify those you do not need! Use the checklist below to provide the answer yourself:

i.                    Your top 3 partners in all mischief and regretful acts;

ii.                  Those folks whose company encourage your depravity;

iii.                Persons who hurt you at ease or without remorse;

iv.                Those who do not share in your vision and dreams

v.                  Those who remind you of your errors and failures in life!

Thought for Today

The gain of holding on one more year to a failing company is equivalent to a two year loss!

This may just be the day to delete some phone numbers and erase some memories!

BEGIN THE CHANGE TODAY

Wednesday 1st January 2014

New Year Day! 

Every first day of the year begins with the traditional New Year Resolution for most people. The challenge has never been the choice of the resolutions to make for the year but will to keep them throughout the year. In the remaining days of 2014 you can sustain your planned change by simply developing the will to alter and modify the attitudes you considered as counterproductive to your success in 2013. 

Change can be very difficult yet inevitable. To avoid the change necessary for growth and success is to accept the consequences that comes with repeating your past errors.

Steps to the new Change

i.                    Identify the attitudes, lifestyle and practices that did not deliver your desired results in 2013;

ii.                  Specifically list persons, places and situations that cause or are responsible for the items listed in (i) above;

iii.                For each negative vice/element identified in (i) above make a direct positive replacement;

iv.                Consciously begin the change today by attempting to practice all the positive values listed in (iii) above and

v.                  Don’t try to pretend about it seek help both spiritual and otherwise where you need one.

Thought for Today

Refusing to change in 2014 what failed for you in 2013 is an admission to last year’s results!

Happy New! 

Begin the Change Now!
