Clarity has been reckoned to be one of the foremost virtues of excellent achievers in any calling or discipline.
Being clear about the object of your desires and clarity in your intentions and requests will go a long way in enhancing the degree of your achievements and accomplishments.
Being goal oriented people that we are, each and everyone of us ought to develop a clear sense of direction in order to maximise our opportunities, effort and time in various dispositions that we find ourselves in. Take your dreams out of the air and crystallise them into clear, specific written down goals. This is an exercise which does not and will not require delegation by you.
You simply have to get at it yourself and do a good job at it.
Lack of clarity is the primary cause of mediocre lifestyle, dysfunctional relationships and slow progress & advancement in personal and corporate lives.
We live in an information age where information traffic is a big time thing, and with it comes the risk of information overload, more choices and more confusion. As such, it's even more important therefore to be clear about what you want! Otherwise, one risks getting meddled up in the insignificant things at the expense of the really worthwhile ones.
Well, even with the colossal amount of information we are bombarded with from news media - TV, news papers, magazines, emails, Internet, books etc. If you are serious about making the most of your life, you ought to always find a fine and distinct moment to make clear choices for your life and future, right?
The power of Choice is one of the most basic and yet powerful tool we humans have for navigating through life. The prerogative to choose is yours and its your inherent and inalienable right. No one can take it away from you. Many of the the advanced economies recognise and encourage people to express their freedom of Choice and I salute them for that.
The thing about choice, is that; at its very highest level, it happens in your mind - ie the power to chose your thoughts, and with the right thoughts, you will be unstoppable in your quests and goals.
However,...
Like any other tool, if you misuse your power of choice, you will suffer the consequences. Bad or foolish choices will eventually mess up your life and before you know it, the whole world seems to be your enemy and you have no where to hide.
But if you are smart and always choose wisely, you will wish to live forever here on earth, for life will be so rosy and pleasant to enjoy.
"Man's power of Choice enables him to think like an angel or a devil, a king or a slave. Whatever he chooses, mind will create and manifest" Fredrick Bailes
I am reminded at this point of Joshua and the Children of Israel centuries ago, as it is recorded in Deuteronomy 30:19 "I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: Therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:"
Fast forward to the 21st century, what will you choose my brother/sister? good Life or a miserable one?
Not to choose a good life, is to choose the other by default. Many people inadvertently against their best intentions, choose misery. It's also worth noting that ignorance, fear and selfishness have big roles to play in these very poor choices that people inadvertently make. Avoiding them will make your life much, much better.
If I may ask, what influences have been behind your choices lately? that's for you to answer.
Remember this; You have a choice in determining the course of your life, exercise that Choice wisely with prudence.
You have the power to decide, make your decisions promptly and wisely and take subsequent action without hesitation. Your life is in your hands, use your power of choice to champion the course of it. The quality of your life will be determined by the quality of your Choices brought about by the quality of your thinking, decisions and subsequent action or lack thereof.
Below are a few circumstances and situations to be aware of in making your choices, have a read, I trust that you will find them both edifying and informative.
Here we go...
There is wisdom and foolishness/folly - choose wisdom all the time. "Wisdom is the principle thing, choose Wisdom" Proverbs 4:7
There is awareness and ignorance - decide to be fully aware [be in the know] especially if it concerns you. Leave no room for ignorance, educate and teach yourself! do something and become knowledgeable. where your future is at stake, there should be no room for mediocrity.
There are Riches/wealth and poverty. Choose to be Wealthy. Make up your mind today to be rich otherwise you will live in poverty by default.
There is the best and the good enough. Go for the best all the time. Choose to give the best and demand the best or insist on getting the best. Excellence is not an option as far as you are concerned, refuse to settle for anything else but the best and sure enough, you will get it.
There is courage and cowardice. Face everything with courage. Choose to be courageous every time. Dare to go for it, whatever it is, trample your fears under your feet, be as bold as a Lion and reign. refuse to be intimated by circumstances or anything.
For there is no height you can not scale, no wall you can not climb, no mountain you can not move, no force in hell you can overcome; You can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth you! You can be all you want to be.
The Choice is yours and the tools are available:- your faith, your confessions, your thinking, your prayer, your talent and skills, your desires, your revelations from God.
You were born a victor not a victim, live life with gusto and enthusiasm.
There is good and evil. Choose to do good all the time. Consistently do good. Note that it is easy to do evil as opposed to doing good. so make up your mind to be consistent in well doing and the divine will help you. Do good in place of evil. Refuse the notion of an eye for an eye - for that makes both parties blind.
There is that which is created and that which is inherited. To create is exciting and is growth. To inherit is more of luck, and luck seldom comes. Choose to be a creator. God has endowed you with His creatorship potential, maximise it. Create your destiny, create your tomorrow, create your Future!
"The ultimate creative capacity of the brain may be, in all practical purposes infinite" George Leonard
There is having great and brilliant ideas, and making those Ideas happen is yet another thing. Action is key. Decide to take action. Do something even if its imperfect, do something and get started. "In all labour there is profit: but the talk of the lips tendeth only to penury" Proverbs 14:23.
And in all honesty, you can do something to change your situation and your life if you don't like the way things are right now for you. Yes you can!
Right then, lets wrap this up by saying....
No one is responsible for you in your adult life, you are 100% responsible.
so,..
It makes a lot of sense that you CHOOSE and decide to be completely in charge of the affairs of your life! You are the master craftsman of your own destiny. never relinquish your power for anything and give up on yourself.
Leverage on your power of CHOICE and Decision. Choose wisely and make that decision right away in everything you do.
Be all you can be friend,.... be all you can be.
Speaking of which;... If you have not yet received Jesus Christ of Nazareth as Lord and Personal Saviour, now is the time to do it, today is your day of Salvation. Will you CHOOSE Jesus(Life) Romans 10:9 or will you pass Him(Choose death).
The Choice is yours and the Choice is Clear.
Many thanks for your kind attention. I look forward to hosting you yet again next time. Till then, Choose wisely and enjoy your life. Look after yourself.
Peace & Love
