Extreme Makeover 1

For the next few weeks in this year 2009, I’m going to write about a very important subject that I’m titling-Extreme Makeover. In Personal Development we need to concentrate in developing ourselves in all areas of our life. A life that’s stops growing starts to decay. An important characteristic of Living Things is Growth. And as we move on in life, we need to be able to measure our level of growth; take track of how far we are going. And the close of the year is just a good time to do this.
It’s nice to be alive, but more importantly it’s vital to be alive to our purpose, dreams, personality. And so, the question I have for you is: have you really grown? How much is this growth? Are you really moving forward? How fast are you? I have got news for you: you can actually determine how fast you move ahead in life. But to do this, you have to know where you are right now. So where are you- where are you in your mind? Where are you in your spirit? Where are you in your body? God came to the Garden after Adam had eaten of the tree of knowledge of good and evil and God asked him: where are you? And so, I am asking you today: where are you? Find out where you really are: What you’ve used your mind for through out the year. How much have you build and develop your mind. Have you really improved your abilities? Have you really followed your purpose? Did you really do the things that most matter? It’s time to take stock. You want to prepare for success with giant stride, then you must know where you really are now.
Some time ago, I learnt a very profound principle in time management. And it is: you don’t achieve more by increased speed, but by making right and important choices. Many have found themselves always busy, doing different things. But the question is: are those things really the right and necessary things. Activity doesn’t always equal effectiveness. Effectiveness has to do with achieving results.
I tell you: it’s amazing to note how a single decision, choice, activity could make a tremendous change and contribution in one’s life. At all time, you need to find out that activity or those activities which when you indulge in, will make the most impact in your life, and then do them.
Life is a fight for territory. Stop waiting for everyone to accept your ideas. Stop waiting for people‘s approval. Go ahead and make a difference. If you care about what people say or think, you will never do anything worthwhile. Decide to shake the world and you can. I will write more on this on Extreme Makeover2 Watch out.
