The Five Ultimate Factors That Determine Destiny Fulfilment pt. 2

By -



2. TIME

Time is the second invaluable asset that determines te fulfilment of destiny. It impossible to misuse this asset and still fulfill destiny in a remarkable way. 

Today we have many things that are competing for our time and attention. From sports, to social media, entertainment, work, religious activities, family, the list is endless. There is a continuous bombardment from these platforms that the average young person finds it very difficult to concentrate on a single task for long. 

According to research, the average person between 65 to 80 notifications daily. Another research found out that the average person check their phone about 58 timee a day and spends a average of 5 hours flipping from one page to the other. 

Factor every other aspect of that individuals life into the above picture and you will discover that the average individual spends less than a fraction of their time investing in their destiny. 

The fact remains that time wrongly used is time wasted and time rightly used is time invested. It is impossible to waste time on a consistent basis and still fulfill destiny. 

Time wastage is one of the fundamental attribute of those who fail in life. Those who become successful invest time and leverage on other people's time to achieve their targets. 

It is amazing how people use statements like "I am whiling away time". This signifies that they do not have destiny in view. The pursuit of destiny is time consuming and it requires a sense of urgency. 

Facts about time

1. Time is the unit of destiny. 

2. Time is irrecoverable except by divine intervention. 

3. There is time for everything only if those things are connected to your purpose. 

4. Every action is a seed in time. 

5. The first purpose of time is for the fulfillment of destiny. 

6. Every man will give account of how he used his time. 

7. All men have equal time every day. 

8. What you do in time determines the outcome of your life.

9. Time can be invested but cannot be stored. 

10. How we spend our time is a reflection of what we value. 

What you spend most of your time doing every day, not once in a while is what guarantees your success. This is why, when God wants to help a man He does so by restoring time and sadly people do not take knowledge of this. 

At this point I want to recommend a teaching that explained this concept with clarity. "Activating seasons of greatness" by Apostle Joshua Selman. 

We prioritize what we value; therefore, how you spend your time is proof of what you value.  Failure to prioritize your destiny by investing quality time in your development is a proof that you do not value your future. And until you prioritize your future no one is obligated to invest in it. 

Creating time for frivolities and activities that have no bearing as far as your destiny is concerned is not a worthy investment. Time must be used with intent, time must be used conscientiously, and time must be used meticulously. 

The reward for using time in this manner is a life that is characterised by excellence. And the side effect for consistently using time wrongly is a life of mediocrity. The choice is yours. 

3. INFORMATION 

This is the third factor that determines the fulfilment of destiny. Access to quality information is a game changer. Imagine of you knew the direction of the stock market for the next six months. Imagine we are in the year 1900 and you knew how to make mobile phones.

It is the same thing with the myriad of mind transforming information at our disposal today. They give us the keys and strategies for navigating the future. 

The statement 'readers are leaders' is not a cliché. The next set of people that will cut the success ribbon in the fulfilment of destiny will be found among those that are reading today. 

Ignorance is unacceptable in the corridor of achievers. 

Quality information is what leads to the transformation of the mind. You can do well to read our post on the power of mental transformation. 

Mental transformation is the process of changing your paradigm about life. It is the activity that you must engage in order to deconstruct every negative psychological programming by adopting healthy mental substitutes. 

It is the process of reprogramming your mind by the infusion of quality information. Mental transformation is the process of reconditioning your mind from every negative thought pattern or faulty belief system. 

The ability to improve the quality of your mind, your reasoning and your perception is a game changer as far as destiny is concerned and it must not be left to chance or. 

Access to quality information will determine the quality of your paradigm which will in turn determine the quality of your life. 

In other words the quality of your life is directly proportional to the quality of your mind and thinking pattern. 

People will rather change their job, their location, their association or even their clothes than to subscribe to mental transformation. 

People will rather blame their boss, their spouse, their parents or the government for the outcome of their life than engage in the transformation of their mind. 

See your mind as a computer than needs constant updating. It doesn't matter how much you enjoyed the old software, whenever a new one is released you quickly update that computer . 

However, some people are still going around with a mental program that expired two hundred years ago and they expect to be rewarded at the same level with those that have updated their mind, that is improper. 

Society is always evolving and if your mental programme is stale in no time you will be swept into obscurity. 

By default, a large number of us have already been programmed to be mediocres in life. This is not an insult, it is reality. Some of us were programmed to think that we are inferior to others, some were programmed to be timid, some of us were programmed to be wasteful, some were programmed to be manipulative while others were programmed to be greedy or to be gluttonous. 

All these are sets of attitudes that stem from unhealthy mindsets and belief systems, however, their impact is visible for all to see and their effect on us and those around us are usually unbearable. It is therefore your responsibility to submit your mind to superior programming with the use of quality information. 

You may no longer be in that toxic environment, but because your mind is not renewed by the adoption of a new paradigm you will transport that toxic environment into your work place your marital home and anywhere you find yourself.   

Every attempt to circumvent the process of mental development will only lead to a life of mediocrity. 

Your mind is a gift from God but a transformed mind is a gift to God. A transformed mind is an asset. Amassing physical assets without first paying the price to develope your mind is a risk because the prosperity of the fool will always destroy him. . 

Every civilization runs on the wheels of ideas. Wealth creation experts will tell you that wealth is not necessarily about money but what you know about money. 

In other words poverty is a mindset. At a personal level, the quality of your mindset will determine the quality of your life. Leaving your mind behind in your attempt to fulfill your life's purpose is a dangerous mistake.

Do you feel that you are being taken for granted? Do you feel that you deserve more respect than you are currently receiving? Or do you feel that your worth and value is not being acknowledged as it should? There are two ways to go about it.  You can either fight and bully people into respecting you or you can earn their respect by making a few adjustments. If you chose the later then this post is for you. Here are a few factors that will bring the result that you desire.  People often rate what level of respect to accord you based on their perception of who you are, and their perception is dependent on your presentation. In life, you don't always have a second chance to make a first time impression. Therefore, if you want to command respect then you must begin by ensuring that your presentation is not giving you out.  My idea of the concept 'respect is reciprocal' is this, if I respect myself and treat myself with value, dignity and honour others will have no choice but ...

The rat race vs complacency and mediocrity

  M any people are unconsciously caught up in a rat race today. They keep going in circles trying to get more out of life, comparing their self with their wealthy class mates, colleagues and contemporaries, with the feeling that the more wealth they are able to acquire the happier they will become. They will will rather trade their family and their health just to get the next dollar or a promotion at the work place.  This set of people are on a journey to satisfying the insatiable desire that resides in all of humanity and they will stop at nothing until they acquire everything their eyes can find.  On the other side of the street there are people who are satisfied with the level they are. They have no desire to change things around their life or to pursue anything that takes them out of their comfort zone.  They sneer at everyone who seems to be busy trying to make meaning out of their life, they consider such people to be greedy, selfish and reckless risky takers. ...

2. Your words:  Your mouth is the window to your heart. Whatever comes out of your mouth is a reflection of the state of your heart. It means that no one can know the state of your heart until you speak because out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.  People come into a new environment and because they are yet to speak it is safe to assume that they are wise, especially if they are properly dressed. However, the moment they start talking people can either withdraw every form of respect they had for them because their words does not correlate with their appearance or they can increase the level of respect they had for them.  It has been said that giving respect to a fool is like placing a golden ring in the snout of a pig. When people can't find wisdom in your words or trace any form of value in your speaking it will be difficult for them to accord you the respect that you deserve.  It is better to remain silent and allow people to assume that you are a wi...

5. Emotional Intelligence: This has to do with the ability to manage your emotions under all circumstances. If you are an impulsive person people will not take you seriously. Such people function based on what emotional state they are.  So when they are happy, you will see them junping around. When they are sad, you see them incapacitated by that feeling. When they are angry, they can set an entire building on fire. And when you question them they will often justify their actions and blame it on their feelings.  Truth be told, if you cannot master your feelings you will never be able to command the respect of those around you. If your feelings control you people won't know how to relate with you.  Feelings vacilate, and since you have made yourself a subject to your feelings you will go about acting like someone that is suffering from schizophrenia.  Let me make two important points at this junction and I will focus on the second point a little: a. Our feelings are o...

Excerpt: Grow Up part 1 Volume 4 (The Twelve Indicators Of Adulthood)

1 . To grow up means you no longer need to be supervised before you do what is right. It means you comply with best practices whether someone is watching or not.  You always want to keep an eye on your child because you can't predict their next move. It is difficult to let a child alone in a room without making periodic checks on them. You want to make sure they are not destroying something and when when you ask them to get something done, you always want to put an eye on them to ensure that they comply with your instructions.  However, as an adult if you still require such policing before you do what is right it means that you have not really transited into adulthood. If your boss can not give you an instruction and expect you to do as you were told, if your parents still have to follow up on you just to make sure you are not doing something contrary to what you were told then it means that there is a gap in your transition process.  Taking responsibility is the hallmark...
