PERSPECTIVE: A Threat or The way to Innovation?



I was having a meeting with my friends one beautiful day & after our discussion another issue was raised which caused a serious argument in the gathering. Though I was not interested in the argument but I observed how serious my friends supported their point of view either for or against the topic backing it up with Biblical references. At the end of the argument we all settled on the point that when we get to heaven, we will know who is wrong & who is right.


I couldn't help but thought about it & related it to our journey of lives today that, it is not all about what that thing is, it's about how we see things base on our view. This is what we calls PERSPECTIVE - seeing one thing from different ways, seeing a problem with different solutions or embracing number 9 as number 6 depending on the angle you stand.

I'm asking you today, how do you see things? Are you seeing things base on your experience or base on the future? Many call it vision. The fact is your perspective about issues of life is the interpretation of what you see & your interpretation determine the decision you make & your decision influence your action. Your action go on to determine your result. It is a crime to believe that where you are today is as a result of people or someone. No. Where you are today is the result of yesterday perspective & the belief system you built afterwards.

Life has proven to me that achieving success is not about how much of the past I know, but how much of the future I can imagine. Your experience is needed when you are working in a circle, when you are maintaining the status - quo. But in a time of change, experience looses it's value.

Your perspective that is shape on experience can be a threat to Innovation or a failure in your life journey. Because it's building on old Idea. The same perspective that was shaped by the the future brought innovation into our world today from the hands of the people like Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Mark Zuckerberg & others. They do not dwell on what others believed or what others are doing but what they saw influenced there decisions.

Scan through your life today & ask what has experience brought to you so far? As a nation, what has experience brought to us?
Life is not in the past, but in the future. Remember that "You can not feature in a future that you you do not picture."

Mindset - The power of mind One of the best gifts God gave us as human is our ability to think & create thought within us. That ability is what makes us different from a mad person who has no thought of his/her own. So we can think & create any thoughts within. Research shows that people's responses to lives are formed & shaped from the inside & then ignite by what surrounds them. These shows that our minds is a powerful tools of transformation. Steve Maraboli said "Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it." This means that you can change your life with your mind. If you utilize that God given power of the mind, you can create a better life for yourself. Wrong mindset is like a killer instinct which is so powerful of making you to see impossibilities on many possible things. I look at the lives of those who sees evil in all things, I realized that there lives are always full of evils. Have you thought abo...

Desire and Decision

It's one thing to desire, it's another thing todecide & to follow what you desire. I've wasted opportunities in the past because of that small voice whispering to me "you are not good enough", "you can't do it" "you are not qualify" and so on like that. I yielded to those voices then & let those opportunities passed me by. I would have done it was what came to my mouth later. I urge you if you desire it, it pay to go for it. Life will not give you what you want, it will give you what you decided to have & pursue. That small voice echoing "I can't" in your mind can be replaced with "I can & I will". You won't know what you are capable of until you try. Try that business, try that idea, try that thing disturbing you. You have little or nothing to lose. Someone said "Easy decision produce hard life. Hard decision produce easy life". Which one do you want to produce? ...

You and your thoughts

I was minding my business one beautiful night when I heard a loud sound in my area. The transformer blew up and there was a blackout. My neighbors began to say that there would be no power supply till February. Meaning that we will not have electricity in the area for two months. Some said we were now into another power supply issue at the beginning of the year. Different people said all kind of negative statements because of what they heard and the way the power supply went off. Suprisingly, not even up to twenty minutes the "condemned" power supply returned and all of them who prophesied were speechless. This is exactly how many people live thier lives. Just because of the sound of a threat they hear, many run away and give up their dreams. Many concluded that it's over because of a big blow that happened to them in their business. I've been saying this and I will also say it again: "Life will always test your commitment and patience on anything you d...
