ONLY YOU CAN DO IT!

A lot of time I hear people complain about how frustrated and overwhelmed they are about their daily life activities. Some complain how they hardly get anything done. Some complain about how they don't know what to do.

Well, I've got a solution for you. Learn to visualize the things you want to do. Use the power of your imagination. Think about the things that you need to get done.

See yourself carrying out those tasks. When you are done visualizing, write down the things you saw yourself doing in your visualization. This is what is called PLANNING AND GOAL SETTING. Don't try to put yourself under any pressure of perfection. Just write it down.

Now, you have figured out what you want to do. The next thing is to figure out how to do the things you wrote down and why you have to do them.

You see, knowing what you want to do is not enough. You must know how! Most importantly, you must know why you want to do the things you visualize and wrote down. Your why is what pushes you forward! Your why is what energizes and motivates you to get it done.

The reason why you are getting nothing done is because you don't know why you have to do those goals and plans you've set. Your why is the fuel that fans your fire into flame.

Quickly, let me share with you what I do every month that has always helped me get my plans and goals done. I've shared this with a few people in training classes and it has helped them. I believe this will be of help to you.

Moments of silence is not a lack of action or not getting things done. Silence is a strategy! It is one of the laws, one of the forces for high achieving. In fact, silence is a form of prayer. Write this down somewhere and make sure you don't forget.

At the beginning of every month, I spent hours in silence, visualizing what I must get done. I see myself doing those things. I visualize how I want those things to look and how they should be done.

What I’m doing is that I'm travelling into my month to know what to do, what is to come and how to prepare for it.

When I’m done, I write down all things I saw in my visualization (imagination). I write everything down. Sometimes, I write as I visualize.

After penning them down, I will take a careful look at each of the things written down on paper and then transform them into monthly goals and plans. Monthly goals into weekly goals and weekly goals into daily goals.

I don't just write my goals and my plans on paper, I write them on a board to give me bigger view of what I've planned and set out to do for that month. Apart from writing the goals down, I talk about them. I talk them into reality. By doing this, I become conscious of what is ahead of me.

Doing this, gives me clarity about what to focus on and what not to focus on. It gives my month a sense of direction and certainty. It gives me confidence that at the end of each day, each week and each month; I have goals, plans and ideas that will be achieved.

Another thing I do is that I set reminders for each activity and each goal. This puts me on my toes to not lose sight of what I have set out to do.

Before I forget, I want to bring your attention to this important factor- let your visualization (imagination) and planning align with your vision or dream. Make sure it is in sync with your destiny- where you are going in life.

Aligning your plan and goal with your vision or dream will stir up anger and hunger to get up and get things done. Another way to say this is- your vision or your dream determines the kind of plans and goals you will have for your life.

If the goals you have does not align with your dream, that dream will only be a dream it will not come to pass. Your plans, your goals, your strategies are the little, bold steps that will take you to your purpose.

One of the killers of destiny is procrastination. There are many days and weeks that you won't feel like doing anything. Days when you don't want to get out of bed or leave that tv screen or phone screen.

What you must know, what you must understand is that procrastination will get you no where. Your feelings and emotions won’t get you to where you need to be.

You must insist upon yourself that no matter what you feel or don't feel, no matter how tired or lazy you get- you will get things done. If you don't do it, no one will.

The best way to start is to start. The best way to begin is to begin.

As you do all these, make sure you pray. Trust and rely on the Holy Spirit to give you strength, to give you wisdom and direction to carry out the plans and goals you've set out to achieve.

Have a sense of urgency. Be desperate! Do it like your life and survival depends on it. The truth is, your life depends on it. Your future depends on it!

You can become a high achiever! You can carry out every goal you set. You can fulfil your purpose!

Remember, it's all about living purposefully!
