Pay attention to you experiences as you grow in life; they would serve as LEVERAGE and LESSONS for you; use them well.

We count our days using a calendar.
Look at it very well, our DAYS on earth follow a linear progression like the calendar date; day 1,2,3,4,5…..70….. n.
Look A Little CLOSER again and observe the TIMELINE OF YOUR LIFE. Our lives does not make a linear progression as the calendar time.
I’ll explain.
Career Coaching would tell you to plan your life; where do you want to end, then what are the 1,2,3,4….n steps that would get you there, once you can answer these questions and follow through, your dreams would come through.
NOTE: planning is a good thing to do, I do it and I will strongly advice it any time.
But there’s a wisdom here to learn, and it has to do with SENSITIVITY, FLEXIBILITY and being SPONTANEOUS.
Take me by my word, five years from now, if your dreams did come through, you would tell me that it didn’t happen exactly how you planned it. You would tell me some unexpected channels helped you out. You would tell me that it didn’t all turn out as you planned.
You would tell me that your dreams came through, but in many ways you never foresaw.
My friend that is life, our life.
Though we number our days by the linear progression of the calendar, our lives would however progress in a DYNAMIC way.
So what’s the use of this whole article?
Be flexible, sensitive, and Spontaneous.
Don’t be so rigid that you miss out of the unexpected great.
Embrace opportunities even though they scare you and are not according to plan, even if they appear like a distraction. As long as they would provide;
Exposure
Leverage
Better Platform
Speed
Ease
Healthy Network and
Build Strength in you.
Go for it.
Though the DAYS of our life follow the same linear progression as a calendar, our LIFE however is dynamic and not linear.

We can’t predict our life, no one has clearly been able to. At best we can anticipate what it could turn out to be.
The Curiosity that comes with the unknown is a gift; without it men would remain passive and not be creators of their destiny. Choice then willpower are the greatest gifts God gave us, it bestows upon us responsibility.
Hence, we must then know that Tomorrow is Beautiful only because we are Decorating Today.
Secondly, it’s a Journey;
Precept upon precept,
Lines upon Lines,
One page at a time before another.
That is the metaphor of our lives as HUMANS.
So, like no other thing, CURIOSITY, THIRST, RESPONSIBILITY, PROACTIVENESS, INTENTIONAL LIVING, and CONTINUOUS LEARNING and UNLEARNING should be our forever goal individually.
As you grow and advance in life be flexible, spontaneous and SENSITIVE at all times.

We all can EAT an Elephant… ( As a matter of fact, I am eating one now) lols.
The problem is that many wants to eat it all at once, and that could cause constipation and many other complications.
One Chunk at a time does the trick
Our dreams are BIG but Not Impossible.

Learn to STOP once in a while to listen, observe, and evaluate…
Something very pivotal has been trying to get your attention all this while but you’ve been too BUSY to realise, and that on it’s own is another way to die quick (maybe not physically though)

And then AGAIN I realized that VALUE attracts VALUE.
No hurts meant.
We are both ” guilty ”
Babies don’t know this;
They wonder why,
They say “it’s unfair”.
Grown men know better.
They harness it to their advantage
To him who HAS;
MORE will be given.
Don’t stop growing,
Keep your aroma fresh everyday,
Don’t get used to the good old,
People know how to move on.
Even ” I LOVE you” is motivated by this.

“…I’m keenly aware of the Principle of Priority, which states (a) you must know the difference between what is urgent and what is important, and (b) you must do what’s important first.
What’s important is the work. That’s the game I have to suit up for. That’s the field on which I have to leave everything I’ve got.
Do I really believe that my work is crucial to the planet’s survival? Of course not. But it’s as important to me as catching that mouse is to the hawk circling outside my window. He’s hungry. He needs a kill. So do I…”

On one hand we are actually creating our lives with every chip of choices we make per moment, we write our life’s CV; it’s like we actually create own individual autobiography.
We do actually!
Today is not an accident, today is the script of yesterday being played out.
On the other hand we are actually not involved in what goes on; here life happens to us and we are left to decide what steps to take. A cross-road is put before us and we are left to decide which way to go, LEFT OR RIGHT.
No road is wrong in the beginning until we get to the end of it.
About noises;
You will get a lot of them, whereas only the voice of one matters…
And here we go again, back to point one;
You are left to weave something out of what is served you though you didn’t determine the menu in the first place.
And that’s how the cycle is created- you are left to choose; you are taken back to you creating your own life’s CV- your personal autobiography.
While we may whine at menus we did not bargain for, we can as well tweak it for a new recipe and still live happily ever after!
