the diary of an ALIEN

We should understand by now that we are aliens here on earth, and our purpose is what we have to discover, talk, walk, leave monuments of impact, and then will enjoy rest. Our position on earth is transitory classified. We only have a duty to perform, like we all know, when purpose is not known abuse is inevitable by all means. Funny enough, this principle apply to every aspect of our lives. To this end, I would say that when a man does not understand and know his purpose in life, two things are bound to happen; he would abuse himself and more so, abuse everything that he encounters, yet not take responsibility for them, rather would blame God and nature. This has caused so many frictions in life, who can tell. The truth is you can not actually tell what your life entails until you know the purpose for which your life is made, which will you an organized thought pattern, simplified life style. By this I would reflect that “you can not under estimate the unimportance of practically everything” Diary of an alien is supposed to oppose every sense of irresponsibility, negligence, value system, and the sense of indecency that has left us relegated to mundane things. Now you may begin to think what I call mundane, I mean that anything we do outside our purpose in life is mundane because it does not reflect our potentials. Now let me tell you may wonder at this that we are always fulfilling purpose at one time or the other, that is to say you are fulfilling someone else’s purpose not yours. Fulfilling purpose has two facets, you either God’s purpose or devil’s. We do this by default. That means we fulfill purpose by default, that is way our lives functions, even when is abusing his or herself, you are still functioning under the purpose of self destruction which the devil usually perpetrate. The yardstick to measure this is not in the amount of money one is able to acquire in a life’s time. Purpose is not a function of how much money one has, but the relative impact your life makes in a life time, which supposedly has left indelible mark in people’s lives. That is eternalizing your name in the hearts of men. This is fulfilling purpose. We can not forget the likes of Mahatma Gandhi of India, Martin Luther King Jr, George Washington of the United States of America, Nelson Mandela of South Africa, Henry Fords of Fords Motors, Thomas Edison, Michael Faraday, to mention just a few. You see that how much indelible becomes or can be is a function of fulfilling purpose.

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS

DYNAMICS OF INFLUENCING YOUR COLLABORATORS In the just previous essay I pointed out the three major right attitudes the leader must have in his or her bid to influence the collaborators, which are: he or she must always come up with superior argument, be grounded in wisdom and knowledge, and be proactive in proffering solutions that make problems go away. However, today, I am going to be discussing the dynamics of influencing the collaborators and the point of influence associated with them in the progressive transformation of the cycle of leadership. In the cycle of leadership, the leader is given a goal to transform followers who got attracted to them by the leadership vision into becoming disciples who by a series of teaching learning of the principles that make for good leadership are transformed into collaborators who have eventually discovered their leadership purpose and are willing to either sustain the work being done by the leader or are launched out as leaders in order to ...

The Power of Focus

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular. - Tony Robbins Concentration is the magic key that opens the door to accomplishment. By concentrating your efforts upon a few major goals, your efficiency soars, your projects are completed - you are going somewhere. By focusing your efforts to a single point, you achieve the greatest results. ....the power of focus The first rule of success, and the one that supersedes all others, is to have energy. It is important to know how to concentrate it, how to husband it, how to focus it on important things instead of frittering it away on trivia.  Singleness of purpose is one of the chief essentials for success in life, no matter what may be one's aim.  The giants of the race have been men of concentration, who have struck sledge-hammer blows in one place until...

LEADERSHIP REFLECTIONS 8

The essence of leadership is continuity such that the poineer leader endeavours to raise people to continue from where he or she stops thereby forming an endless ripple effect from one generation to another. Hence, the relevance of any leadership is to the degree that it is able to outlive itself after having transformed the players into their ideal selves. After the leadership success is achieved, it automatically becomes a template for the followers to build upon. What this means is that when success is attained, it almost becomes obsolete for the next generation, which will require innovation and tweaking if contuinity is intended within their spheres of abilities. Are your intentions in leadership geared towards continuity? Elvis C. Umez Leadership Consultant School of Leadership Development (SOLD) IDB Consult
