Motivational Quote of the Day

"When pursuing a goal, always follow your guts for you will arrive much sooner and save yourself much time and energy in the process."
-Yahaya Baruwa

Have you ever had that realization when you say to yourself, "mannnnn i should have pressed the green button instead of the red" or "I should have bought into the group lottery that John, Perry and Ella bought, for i would be one of the winners" and so on... I have found this to be a very important habit to uphold in most cases, of course with the use of common sense. However, common sense does not make sense because, from my experience i have followed my guts in doing things that did not make much sense at first but then later came out to be a step forward. Here is an example of what is mean; two weeks ago, i was in beautiful downtown Toronto for a sales meeting with a fitness centre Called King West Fitness, a really cool gym for sure. At the end of the meeting i decided that i would keep with my day's schedule, but for some reason i had a feeling to walk 5 blocks over to my former work place, as weird and illogical as it seems, i decided to go even though i did not like working there plus my relationship with my Manager was not the best. On my way there i met a former classmate of mine from 2nd year university course with her sister. All of a sudden i realized what was happening, my partner and i had been looking for a graphics designer for our Indoor Media Company, Y a H a Y a Indoor Media, and there she was. My classmate's sister is a really good graphics designers. If i had chosen to go home that day, it would have taken me a lot longer to find these person whose services we required. I know this may seem crazy and illogical and like myself before, most people take this for granted, but following ones guts really does make a huge difference in one way or the other...and it is most effective when you have a goal that you are pursuing.

P.S. Goal setting is important because if you don't know EXACTLY where you are going, any road will take you there faster than you can ever imagine, that is a fact...if you do not believe this is true ask yourself this, "What do i want to be doing tomorrow, 3 months from today, or 5 years from now?"

Grab a pen here and now and write down what you want to make happen no matter how small...you only live once...make the best of this opportunity!

Motivational Quote of the Day



"There are two types of people who never amount to anything. There are those who never do anything except what they are told to do. And there are those who cannot even do what they are told to do. The people who get ahead do things that should be done without being told. And they don't stop there. They go the extra mile and do much more than is expected of them."

-Andrew Carnegie, American Industrialist

Motivational Quote of the Day



"If I have seen farther than others, it is because i am standing on the shoulder of giants."
-anonymous

First of all, like to apologize if there is any inaccuracy in the above quote of the day. Please let me know if the quote is not accurate and if you know the author, thank you.

Now back to the quote of the day. This is one of a very few selection of quotes that i named my favorites and ones that i live by. If you haven't already figured it out yet, the quote i think addresses the importance of mentorship. In my opinion (plz feel free to disagree and set me right), i think a great major of people have and continue to neglect the importance of the concept of mentorship. I believe having a mentor in anything you do, whether it be driving a standard car, in your sales career, or for guys when it comes to dealing with the ladies or vice versa; will almost double your chances of succeeding at whatever it is you are aiming to succeed in. Now, you are probably thinking "where is this guy getting all these information from?" This is a consistent pattern i have found throughout my interaction with highly successful individuals, and through my study of self-development books, autobiographies, and tapes. However, you are probably tired of hearing about a third party's experience so for the purpose of clearly gettting across what i mean, consider my personal example. Never been successful in a sales environment, here i was being offered a sales position at a fitness centre downtown Toronto. My first instinct was to say no, however i decided to give it a go, considering that it is a natural human instinct to avoid experiencing a negative experience a second time. After i started the job, i realized that many people like me were succeeding...then i started to become an apprentice to all the really good people i could find. Within my second month i began to notice that i was making more sales on my own effort that i decided that i would pursue a higher commissions cheque by working for straight commission instead on relying on the base pay.

The above illustration is just one of many experiences that proved to me that mentorship works and always will for anyone who want to achieve anything.....just find the person who has accomplished what you want to accomplish and sit down with them...I can promise you that if they are the right person, you will be on your way to achieving whatever it is you want to accomplish because the wisdom you get from the mentor(s), regardless how small, will out weigh any amount of gold!

If you do not believe me, I dare you to try it for yourself...if I turn out to be inaccurate, you have my word, i will delete this whole BLOG!

Motivational Quote of the Day

"Every time we choose safety, we reinforce fear."
-Cheri Huber

A great man once said, "if you do the things you fear, the death of fear is certain." When i first read the above quote (main quote), i did not understand it at first, but then it made sense. To me, it means that not doing the thing(s) one fears, makes the fear have control over the persons live. Think about, have you ever been in a situation where you are confronted with your fear? What was your first reaction? To escape!...well, I only know this from experience. Here is an example of this experience to illustrate. When i first started as an army cadet, i had stage fright, which came from standing in front of my whole platoon (a team of about 20-35 cadets). The fear was soo bad that I did whatever i could to avoid being confronted with it (choosing safety over confrontation). Realizing that this strategy was not constructive in anyway and that i was missing out on many opportunities to advance as an army cadet, I began to fight it. Though it was very hard i have admit, however, taking every opportunity to encounter and face the fear, i was able to be in control of it. As a result, I was able to advance through the leadership position faster than most of the cadets who began their cadet career before I did, to obtain a leader position as the leader of the cadet corp. These may be all "sweet and dandy" but the simple fact is that, if you do not get your fear under control, whatever it is, that fear will run your life. Take note that I said "have the fear under control." Please correct me if i am wrong (i am human afterall) but i don't think it is possible to completely eliminate fear, it is a natural human emotion and having your fear under control will ensure that whenever you come face to face with it, you become unstoppable.

Remember, "do the things you fear and the death of fear is certain." So guys if you have feared asking that girl out because you feared rejection, take it from me, whether or not she says yes, you will be glad you tried because you faced your fear and the next time it wont be soo hard. And ladies, the same goes for you......!

P.S. I think the quote, "do the things you fear and the death of fear is certain", should be "do the things you fear and the death of fear's power is certain."

Do what you fear...!

"Every memorable act in the history of the world is a triumph of enthusiasm. Nothing great was ever achieved without it because it gives any challenge or any occupation, no matter how frightening or difficult, a new meaning. Without enthusiasm you are doomed to a life of mediocrity but with it you can accomplish miracles."

Og Mandino
1923-1996, Speaker and Author

Static Line Mass Parachute Jump

"All men have fears, but the brave put down their fears and go forward sometimes to death but always to victory."

-Motto of the Kings guard in ancient Greece.

I think fear is the most limiting factor of human potential. Put it this way, a young man who has something of major importance to say, something that can easily change the faith of a nation from worse to great, will never step forward to make a speech because of the fear of the stage or the fear of ridicule. This is very unfortunate. A definition of fear i have heard and read over and over again is, F.E.A.R is False Ellusions Appearing Real. Please don't get me wrong, it is perfectly natural to have fear however when you do not have your fear(s) under control, you tend to become controlled by it. To illustrate what I mean, take my experience as an example. In 2006 while i was an army cadet, i had the rear opportunity to try out for the hardest course in the army cadets, The Basic Military Parachute Course. This 5 week course was so hard that almost 50% of the candidates would have been sent home because they failed to meet the challenges throught out the course and put in the fact that you have to properly learn how to jump out of an aircraft. Of course like any normal human being I feared that I did not have a chance and would not be able to even jump out of the airplane because of my fear of heights. Disregarding the above i decided that i would tryout for the course and gave my best eventhough the competition was very high (only 48 cadet were chosen throughout Canada out of about 200+ applicant). I made it on to the course and succeeded because I came to realize that the only fear that existed was in my head and that it was perfectly safe jumping out of the aircraft because people who came years before me did what I am now doing and are still alive. I have to say the course was the best and greatest achievement in my life and it would not have happended if i didnt have my fears under control.

Think about it!

Like i said earlier, fear is one of a few limiters of personal potential and you cannot accomplish something worthwhile if you are controlled by fear, however you can accomplish worthwhile things by feeling the fear and going through with whatever it is you want to accomplish. I am sure you have some degree of doubt saying "Yahaya, i think this is bullshit" and i dont blame you, i would say the same thing if i were in your shoes however i challenge you to accept the following challenge, within the next hour, do one thing which you would like to do yet fear doing it and see if what i said isn't accurate!
