Upgrade your life

Imagine a life where you really need just your
own permission to go to work or stay home
with your family, go on vacation or remain
at work, a life where you choose what to do
at 6am, 10am, 2pm, 4pm and 8pm. A
life where you need no one's permission to
attend to a sick child, be at your children's
price giving day, sports day and other school
activities. A life where you're free to
prioritise different areas of your life as you
please.

Imagine a life, wholly dedicated to the
pursuit of that vision, that dream that
adventure that thrills you, excites you and
make you really happy.

Imagine a life where you're doing exactly
what you love, what you enjoy and there are
no boundaries, restrictions and limitations to
how far you want to go, how creative you
want to be and where no one panelises you
for daring to take risks and making
mistakes.
Imagine a life where what you do with so
much pleasure and satisfaction is what
generates your income. Imagine a life where
your daily fun, excitement and adventure is
what pays your bills and you still have
excess.

Imagine a life where your income is
determined by how much you're willing to
do, how far you're willing to go and how
much you wish to make. Imagine a life
where no one fixes or regulates your income.

Imagine a life where you can be earning in
thousands today and in a couple of months
you're earning in millions.
Imagine a life where your life standard is not
according to any hierarchy or ques or
determine in turns. A life where you need
not wait for a superior to get promoted or get
fired for you to have an opportunity to up
your position, income and lifestyle.

Imagine a life where the power to purchase
that dream car, the dream house, the dream
lifestyle is not in the hands of another person
or institution. A life where you can buy that
dream car when you choose, build the dream
house when you choose and put your kids in
the schools you want not the schools the
amount you're paid can afford.

Imagine a life where how your everyday
unfolds is based on your choices and
decisions. Imagine a life of true freedom to
become who you truly want to become in
life.

Imagine a life where you're not carried along
or carried away by trends, but you choose
and determine your own trends, you
determine your timing and seasons and enjoy
all you want when you want it, how you
want it and with whom you want it.

I have this question for you my friend, if
you are absolutely in charge of your own life
and time, will you be where you are right
now, doing what you're doing right now and
going to where you're going today? Think
about it, if your answer is yes, I'm very
happy for you but if otherwise, today's
message is for you.
You see many of us today have given up
completely our unique, personal, individual
and ordained life and dream for what is
general and common.

Many of us have lost respect for our
individuality and uniqueness and we
desperately seek acceptance and endorsement
from the people in and around our lives.
Many of us are not happy today because we
have allowed people we love, admire or
respect or even our immediate family and
community dictate to us, the kind of life we
should live and the kind of career they
approve of for us.
So we wake up every day living our lives to
please the people in our lives, and to impress
our immediate public.
Public opinion and approval have made many
ashamed of what they truly would want to be
and love to do in life and they are
unfortunately forcing themselves on jobs and
careers they hate and don't enjoy,
consequently many are not doing so well at
what they do and everyone sees them as
average performers and slow people; not
knowing the real problem is, they are not in
their real place of design and purpose in life.
What the world fails to acknowledge is,
every human being is a genius if properly
located at their place of calling and design in
life. Failures are not average or incompetent
people, they are just misplaced people in
life. God is too perfect and excellent to
create a faulty or less than excellent human
being. When human beings fail, they are
simply misplaced or misused. They are
perfect tools used for the wrong purpose.
Dear friend, when you're not free, when
you're not in charge of your life, you can't
be in charge of your happiness.

Ladies and gentlemen, your life should not
be determined by trends, needs, survival or
the approval of others. Your life must be
driven by your purpose, vision and ambition
if you truly want to succeed, find happiness
and fulfilment.

Start today to begin to reawaken your dream
life. How exactly do you want your life to
be? Don't allow your life to be judged and
appraised by people who don't appreciate or
respect your personal passion and excitement
in life. They will only discourage you and
make you feel wrong, worthless and
irresponsible. You don't have to remain a
doctor or a banker or stay employed in that
big company if your true passion is travels,
event planning; trading, entertainment,
photography, fashion, preaching the gospel
or caring for toddlers.
Don't just accept what life throws at you
and decide to cope, you must choose what
God designed you for in this life, don't
remain weak, timid or fearful, be willing to
sacrifice the good for what is best for you in
life.

Please take a look at your life thus far,
consider the various stages, primary,
secondary, university, NYSC, employment,
marriage and parenting, how many of these
played out according to how you really wanted
it?

How many of these stages brought you
absolute pleasure and satisfaction and you
didn't have to cope or endure any stage.
How many of these stages would you have
wished played out differently?
Dear friend, don't you want an upgrade in
your life?

Do you want to use your power and will to
bring into your life exactly what you desire or
want, or you're willing to settle for what
life offers you? The life quality of your
family, the quality of your vision, your
dream, the level of your happiness, your
fulfilment, peace and joy, who controls it,
who determines it, who is in charge of it?
Are you sacrificing an important aspect of
your life for another important aspect and you
think it's a necessary sacrifice? Are you
giving up family for career and you think you
have no choice? You know, it's possible to
actually succeed with both family and career
without sacrificing one for another if you want
to.

Dear friend, its time, you acknowledge and
respect your design, your purpose and your
place in this world.
This is the real key to happiness, joy,
fulfilment and peace at the end of your days.
Live a life of deliberate adventure, not
accidental adventure. Take charge of your
life.
