Who do people say you are?
While we must not live our lives for people or wear whatever cloak men are actively attempting to put on us, what they say about us is also important. We will not always be able to speak for ourselves under all circumstances. People and influencers will not always have the opportunity to ask things of you first hand or hear your own side of the story. This is why one needs a conscious and consistent plan to project the type of image you want the world to have of you, whether you feel like it or not. We are all brands, and any brand with a conflicting message or purpose will generate staggering sales and curtailed lifespan. The plan should be that if 10 people are approached to give a comment about you, 8 out of 10 should say the same thing about you at least in one or two areas. So, think about the value you want your brand (which is YOU) to project and be intentional about showing up daily delivering that brand promise, otherwise society would label you with whatever they like.

Talking about the "what I am passionate about" conversation. That is a question I have no consistent answer to you. Does it mean I halt my life till that question is answered? No. It's always in my consciousness to know what I was born to do. Every fibre of my being desires to latch on to what it is. It is the longing of my heart all day and night. I will find it . Between then and now, I will be faithful and diligent in what I find to do with my hands. I have learnt that the way to develop interest in what you have no interest or flair for is to learn more about it. This takes discipline. Distancing your thoughts and intelligence away from that chore that you abhor will institutionalize the apathy. This trouble with this distancing mindset is that it wastes precious time, and you have no story to tell also of how you got victory in this situation because one thing is for sure, many are in the same arrangement in life. What story can you give to inspire someone going thro...

My preparation out of season is more important to me than what I do in season. I have always understood that, for example, if you want to be nice to your customers at work, and you find that you are always livid or you have a short span of patience towards them, the total solution is not just a one-hour motivational talk or coaching during work. It's more about incorporating niceness into your lifestyle. You have to be intentional nice outside work, when you don't need it, when you are not being corporately assessed on niceness. If you can win that out of season or out of work discipline, it would spill over into work effortless because you have now built yourself that way, it's now your personality, rather than an occasional performance or a hat that you wear on and off. Any skill you want to have for work has to be diligently pursed when you don't need it. The goal is to routinize it so you can output it always. If I want to bring creative ideas to work daily, I must ...
