The Self Defining Journey Changes your Habit

The Self Defining Journey Changes your Habit

Top of the Day to You.

I trust that you have completed the task of listing your Primary purpose.
I trust that you have completed the task of listing your Secondary purpose.
I trust that you have completed the task of listing your Tertiary purpose.

Note: If you haven’t done this, kindly read the post on purpose before continuing.

If you have done that, then you have set yourself on the path of The Self Defining Journey.

The amazing thing about The Self Defining Journey is that it is a game changer that guarantees a quantum leap in your life.

The moment, you know your purpose on earth, you know where you are going and you begin a conscious journey to knowing yourself more and that is when the self-defining journey begins.

However, your self-defining journey is highly driven by a change of Habits.

At 16, I started a self-defining journey of becoming a leader and I stumbled on a quote that said readers are leaders.

That quote made me develop a craving for reading a minimum of two books a week.

Two decades later, I have read over 2,000 books and have a continuously growing bookshelf of books on topics ranging from leadership, entrepreneurship, information technology, economics, politics and business and I have never stopped learning.

That’s what happens to you when you start a self-defined journey, your habits changes completely.


P.S: A good book that helped me start my self-defining journey is Jack Canfield’s book: “SUCCESS PRINCIPLES”. Sample Chapters can be found on www.successprinciples.com

How to Disrupt Yourself

How to Disrupt Yourself I write this piece with apprehension on my mind. The reason why I am trepidating with fear is because I just got information that shocked me to the marrow. Kodak filed for bankruptcy in 2012. However, Steven Sasson (the inventor of the first digital camera in the world) was an employee of Kodak. In 1975, two years after he joined Kodak, he showed these devices to his bosses. His bosses were unimpressed and were convinced that nobody would want to look at pictures from a television set. Kodak’s marketing department also resisted it, because they believed that it will cannibalize film sales. Sasson filed the patent for the electronic still camera in 1977. In 1989 Sasson and Robert Hills made the first DSLR camera. Kodak didn’t embrace the camera, even though they made billions from the digital camera patent until when the patent ran out 30 years later. I am sure you are pondering, what I am pondering. May we ne...

SHARED ECONOMY

SHARED ECONOMY A wise man once told me that the world is made up of the haves and have not. I pondered on that statement for many years because the impression I had was that everyone has gifts and abilities in their own measure. So why did that old sage say that some people have and others don’t have. The answer is what this article is about. For Example, When you don’t have money to start a business (have not), you go to a bank that has money to lend you. In this context, the bank has money, but you don’t have money. One thing is certain in Economics, “Human beings are insatiable.” That insatiability in humans has made crave to own the best things in life ranging from cars, gadgets, houses, furniture and even computers. What these means is that we will still be left with people who have these gadgets and those who don’t have. What could possibly be the way out for the have not. Welcome to the world of the Shared Economy. A shared economy is an e...

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING

PLANNING IS EVERYTHING I begin with the words of Winston Churchill who said that: “Plans are of little importance, but planning is essential. I couldn’t agree less with this noble man. It is time for us to Plan TODAY. What are we planning for: A Wedding, An Exam, A House Building Project, A Successful Future. Whatever it is, You have start with a plan because: “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail” In a nutshell, I think planning is a virtue that is readily available from the creation of the world till now, yet man barely uses planning as a tool. I look around me and I see that every new technology that is been used today is or was a function of someone’s planning.  The houses we live in are a function of someone’s planning. The decisions we make today are a function of many years of planning which is been executed by us today. Two years ago, I made a decision to join Project Management International (PMI) and a...
