Walking Through the Shadows: A Letter to a Sad Friend

I don’t know what you are going through and I can’t claim to understand my friend. I don’t know how much you have suffered; I don’t feel what you are feeling; and I can’t evaluate the intensity of all the punches you have received from life just because you woke up to a new day. However, one thing I am too sure of is that you are alive and for this reason, I know that whatever you are going through is time-bound and in its time, it will pass. My friend it will pass.

The biggest mistake you can make when responding to a painful situation is to think the situation is peculiar to you – to believe its some sad fate designed just for you. Giving in to that thought, is like giving up on the grace you enjoy as someone who the Kings of Grace died for. Worst things have happened to you, to me and to the engineer who coupled the device you are reading this article on. Pain is a natural course of life; sorrow comes; joy comes – each has its time. Would you give up just because sorrow is having its time?

My concern is that you don’t give up so soon; that you don’t drop your weapons in a haste to run away from pain. You have what it takes to have at least a fighting chance. You have what it takes to turn your pain to gain. I wish that you would believe this because I know it’s true. You don’t see it because you have dwelt so much on all that has gone wrong in your life. What about the good things that have happened to you?

Life! Life! Life! What is life? Really think about that for a while. What is life but a period of pains and gains; of downs and ups; of sorrow and joy? Each of these experience, it’s a king overwhelming in power but not of control – only you can give them control over you. You cannot change the nature of this game called life, but you can determine how you want to respond to the fouls you were penalized for and the goals you scored during the play.

Who ever told you life is smooth has lied to you. The geometry of life has more of curves than straights. When you woke up healthy this morning, somebody else arrived this day with a condition so sad it is even too painful to think about. Every day is a challenge; this is good for your mind and your body. A challenge, when faced with austerity and conquered, is like a new strand of a bird’s feather, it can only make you soar higher and last longer in the sky.

There are two ways to look at the sad things that happen to you. You can either see them as a bunch of bad fate that is packaged to make you fail or you can see them as a chain of experience designed to make you stronger. What will it be for you? Do you want these experiences to have both power and control over you? What makes you give up without a good fight? How do you want to live your life? What hope is there for you to let pain take charge of you?

Do you want to take control of how you respond to the sad part of life? I am sure you do. Try the exercises below

1.      Close the pathways of sadness in your life

What are those things or people that consistently make you sad? Pick up a pen and list them. List as much as you can. Thereafter, group them into those you can cut off and those you really can’t cut off.

Now for those you can cut off, take proactive steps to let them go no matter what it will cost you. Remember nothing is worth more than your happiness.

For those you can’t cut off, start finding a way to reduce your dependence on them.

If it is about the lack of money, find away to manage the little you have and to increase your income. You can take up a part-time job or go into a trade no matter how small. What skills or passion do you have that you can turn into a money maker?

If it is about friends, start working becoming on independent from them for anything. If you are lonely, make new acquaintances. Define your relationships with such people. Give them just a space in your life.

If it is about some mistakes in the past, start doing as much good as you can do. Help more people, visit orphanages, advise less experienced people, talk to God to forgive your past – talk to Him, he will answer. He is a merciful God.

2.      Leave your bed with as much energy as you can muster

Talk to God each morning. Thank Him genuinely for another new day. Tell Him what you want for the day. Say some wonderful things to yourself as yourself. Shout out the following after your prayers

i.                    I am happy. God! I am just so happy

ii.                  Wow! Today is going to be a great day!

iii.                I am wonderfully made! Oh my God! I am so beautiful, so confident, so successful!

iv.                I have so much love around me

v.                  Thank you Lord!

vi.                My God is right beside me!

3.      Determine to leave each person you see that day a happier and better person

Go out and smile so well to each person you meet. Let your love for people overwhelm you. Let love rule you. Become genuinely interested in people. Play with as much people as you can play with. Laugh as much as you can. Let your guard down. Give as much as you can to people in need.

Refuse to be defensive. When people hurt you, forgive them immediately and forget about the incidence. Blame it on their ignorance. Pity people who knowingly hurt you, they are only victims caught up in web of selfishness.

4.      Set out to achieve what you left undone.

You can increase your chances of happiness by simply doing something about that thing you have left undone for a while. Set up to achieve little things. It could be a call to someone that has offended you in the past. It could be fixing something in your room, relationship, car or studies. It could be any other task you bailed out on. Just do something to get a little forward!  

In all, happiness and sadness are states of the mind. Your mind is yours alone and you can decide what gets into it or to you. To round up this piece, let me lend an ancient but anonymous quote:

“I don’t give up when I am walking through the shadows, because light is somewhere around the corner”

May God engrave this message in your heart and may He also empower you to put to practice what it preaches.

To your success!

Larry

The Winning Mindset for a Job Interview

Are you aware that you may have lost some job because of the mindset you met the interview panel with? Do you know that there is a winning mindset for responding to a job interview? What if I told you that by simply changing the way you think while responding to a job interview you can increase your chances of getting appointed amazingly? Just in case you are wondering about how possible this claims are, please read the following five (5) tips. The tips in this article have made it very difficult for me to lose a job interview.

Discard the “Job Seeker” Mindset

You need to move your thinking from that of “a job seeker” to “a service provider”. Next time you walk into an interview imagine that you are going to propose a service delivery. Do away with the beggar’s approach. Remember you are about to exchange your time, loyalty, and skills for the company’s money. Don’t seek for pity. Don’t beg for consideration. Don’t be so eager to please them; doing so will make you appear insecure and weak-willed. Tell the panel what you have in store for their organization. Let them know that you are offering a service-solution to them.

Be convinced of the value you are bringing in

Every company wants to employ people that will be assets. Make sure you understand what you are offering. You need to be convinced of how valuable your services are to them. Learn as much as you can about the position you are applying for and be ready to sell yourself for it.

Gain mastery of your communication

You goal here is to let your countenance reveal what you carry inside. If you do this right, all verbal and non-verbal communication that is beaming out of you will speak volume of your relevance to their organization. Avoid the temptation of talking in circles. You need to know what needs to be said; say it, and keep quiet! Never get hooked while talking. It is not about how much you have said but about how well your words have related to the gaps in their organization.

Pay some attention to the questions they didn’t ask

Answer the questions in the mind of the panellists. The mistake many people make is to research and focus on the questions they will be asked and on how best to answer. However, interviews are designed to harvest the content of your mind, character, and expertise. Some questions are not good enough to achieve those, so you need to know what they really want to hear and tell them exactly what they need to hear. Use every answer as an opportunity to tell them you know who they are looking for and that person is you.

Never, Never, Never lose your composure

It is an interview, not an interrogation! You are not a suspect. No matter how tricky a question seems, no matter how rude it was asked and no matter how scary the interviewer sounded, hold yourself together! Never let your voice quiver, your hands fidget, or your butt develop a mind of its own. Keep your face calm, your head up and your shoulder relaxed.

Go get that job!

THE MINDSET OF THE SELF-CONFIDENT (Part Two)

How to Build Self-Confidence

The first time I discussed this was in my 100 level in Michael Okpara University of Agriculture Umudike in Abia State – my Alma mater. I was delivering a talk to 400 level students when their lecturer silently sneaked into the lecture room and decided to listen. I didn’t know when he came in but I noticed the class was a little more distracted; and some students were looking at me and giggling. I spoke on for another 10 minutes and with each minute, my presentation became more intriguing and before long the room was silent. I had everyone listening and I didn’t mind the number of eyes staring up at me.

When I eventually finished with what I used to call “Turbo Talks” then, I told them that I am able to stand before them to teach about building self-confidence because I had a particular awareness which most people desire but don’t have, I knew it was right to share my knowledge and I earnestly wanted them to live above the limitations of their self-esteems. The ovation that I received was marvelous  but what got me feeling fulfilled was what the lecturer said when he met at the exit. He asked me to wait a while that he would like to add something to what I was saying. He told his students that he was told I was a 100 level student of the institution. He noted that he heard a little of what I was saying and wished his students could put them to practice. That he was yet to see any student with the kind of confidence I just displayed teaching people that were way beyond me even as a fresher.

Over the years, I have written and spoken about what I discussed with those 400 level students and almost always, I receive calls from participants sharing their testimony about a sudden surge in their confidence. So I can assure you that, if you have a low self-esteem but truly desire to be bolder or more confident, and you do what I will be asking you to do here, you will experience a change in the way you evaluate yourself. You will discover you could do most of what you were shy of doing.

Now you may wonder why you actually need to build on your confidence. The truth is: you can hardly reach your dream without self-confidence. Before you can embark on any great venture, you have to believe in that venture, in your ability to pull it through and in God’s ability to create the opportunity for you to excel in it. Recently, I helped 4 families secure grants of between 7 million and 10 million Naira from the Nigerian government. We worked on their business plans together. My secret was simple. I communicated the confidence my clients had in their proposed businesses and their ability to execute those businesses and viola! today they are millionaires. My friend Ronald Nzimora (Nigeria’s finest Information Marketer does the same thing). His sales letters always assure buyers that he is confident the content or product he is selling will make them a better person.

Similarly, if you have read the biography of any great person you will discover that success in life has strong ties with self-confidence, self-awareness or what many describe as one’s belief in themselves. This is why you should take this article seriously. This is why you need to invest your time practicing what I will be sharing with you here. Just so you are forewarned. People have a way of ignoring what they are being taught free of charge. You probably stumbled upon this article and I can understand if you try to ignore it. You won’t find its content with a price tag attached anywhere online, you are advised to take it as one of those free gifts that can change your life for good. I want to remind you that the most valuable things in life are free including the grace of God, happiness, companionship, air, and love, etc.

You can develop a very sound self-confidence by adopting some attitudes and behaviours; but you will have to be consistent in it until you can act them out unconsciously. I will list the tips here and continue with more details soon.

• The influence of being honest, truthful, fair and upholding justice
• The willingness to share what you have with whoever needs it
• The power of knowing what you want
• The power of recognizing what you are good at and developing the skills to excel in it
• The confession or affirmation of who you can be
• The ability to understand your field and the players in it
• The wisdom to value human relationship
• The tenacity to venture through the road less traveled even when it seems risky

Do you want to know what those tips have to do with making you more self-confident? Hang on. We shall continue this later, so you use your time to do what you came online to do. In the meantime, share your expectations and thoughts in the comment section and I will reach you once I publish the full content.

I toast to a better YOU!

THE MINDSET OF THE SELF-CONFIDENT (Part One)

Have you ever wondered why some people are confident and their confidence is contagious? The secret of the self-confident is in the content or makeup of his or her mind. The difference between a confident person and a timid person is the quality, firmness and clarity of their minds. A confident person has a victor’s mind set while a timid person has a victim’s mind set. Now the question is what is a victor’s mind set?

A victor’s mind set is a set of beliefs, awareness or knowledge that convinces the person that he or she has what it takes to influence, to take charge and to win. It is a special kind of viewpoint that makes it very difficult for you to perceive failure or intimidation. It is different from courage. Courage is the action you take with this mind set even when faced with an impossible, obscured or dreaded situation.

For the self-confident, there is hardly a dead end; dead-ends happen when people lose faith in their ability to move further. You are self-confident when you believe strongly that what you have inside of you is influential enough to push you through the way that the Almighty has made for you. Self-confident people act, and not react. They influence and not respond. The conviction that victory awaits them in the future makes their actions today so contagious that you keep wondering where they get their energy from!

Self-confident people are also people of strong faith or hope. They walk into a room knowing they will leave behind a positive impression, pick up challenges knowing they will handle them, go after the person of their dream knowing it will always end well, serve and pray to their God knowing they will get answers etc.

The truth is; it is the lack of self-confidence that makes it difficult for many people to receive answers from God. Faith has a strong bearing on self-confidence. If you are not confident about your position in the Kingdom, you will be ignorant of what your inheritance is exactly. So how can you ask and receive what you don’t know exists? How can you ask for what you don’t know you deserve? How can you believe you deserve anything when you don’t recognise your worth? How can you be self-confident, without recognizing your worth?

To your success!
