Seeds Of High Achievement

 

"What you sow, you reap." Sounds familiar? What about this "What you reap is what you sow".

Everything we achieve is as a result of the seeds we initially planted in our minds. Up until now, you are and you have been responsible for everything that's happened to you. Hard to swallow? But it is true. Your philosophy shapes your world. Philosophy can be formed from the music you listen to and all the way to the people you talk with.

 

I encourage people to have a *Bullshit Filter* guarding their minds. It's not everything you come across that you have to take in and believe. Know what works for you. Study great and successful people, and learn. Read books, listen to motivationals, meditate. Invest in your mind.

 

When I was young I did something wrong, I can't remember what I did wrong but I can remember the lesson I learnt from that wrong act. My mum sat me down (after spanking me of course) and told me something that I can never forget. It shaped my philosophy and my life. She said "Obinna, because somebody is older than you, it doesn't mean they are wiser." Chew that!

 

Invest in yourself. Learn to work harder on yourself. When you work hard on yourself you become more valuable  to the world and market place. Work on your attitude, work on your personality, work on your philosophy, work on the way you speak and the things you say.

 

I'm a nice guy and I'm happy to lend a helping hand to a person in need, but the truth is I am a man and my ability is limited. So let me take a take a page out of J.Cole's book "Sometimes I want to save the world and not be thinking about how." Thank God for the internet. Physically I can't share a lot but digitally.... You get my point. Information is vital, likewise education.

 

Success is something you attract by being an attractive person. Its not something you pursue. Realize you are the project and begin to work hard on yourself.
