Live Above the Average

I am so passionate about African, most especially my country Nigeria. We might not be getting it right at the moment, but we will surely be great. Mark my words; a time is coming that it's going to be the 'black's world.' But if we will rule our world we have to work on ourselves. One of our main challenges in Africa is the average mentality of most of us; the survival syndrome. Many desired nothing else than to have something to eat, clothes to wear and a place to lay down their head. That is, just survive. But certainly, there is more to life than mere survival, the sooner you realize that the faster you will be able to unleash your full potential. Until you strive to live above the average, you will just exist and never make any significant impact in life. Oscar Wilde wisely observed, "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all." So, how can one live above the average?

- Work on your mind; you can never be better than the way you think. So fill your mind with thoughts of greatness and possibilities. Surround yourself with people and things that will inspire you to do more and be your best. Remember just as Napoleon Hill said, "Thoughts are things." So watch your thoughts.

- Don't live just for yourself: you will never live above the average if all you desire is just a better life for yourself and family alone. The day a man resolve within himself to live for others he set his foot on the path of greatness. Everyone is created to solve a problem. Until you discover the problem you are made to solve, you will always be a problem to be solved. There are lot of problem around us; leadership problem, bad roads, poor electricity, poverty, health challenges and many more. To live above average, you need to find out which of this problems you are created to solve and get to work.

- Put your best into all that you do: our nation is at the state it is today because our leaders do not strive for excellent. Many will never rise above average because of their 'anything goes' spirit. Give your job an excellent touch and you will always be in great demand, either you are in business or an employee. Always remember that been average is the enemy of the great life you desired. You can certainly be more successful than you are now. Dream more, develop yourself and put in more effort. Never settle for anything less than the best. Maureen Drowd was right when he said, " The minute you settle for less than you deserve, you get even less than you settle for." Don't die an average person, you have all it takes to be great.

I see that brilliant idea you need to move to the next level of your life dropping into your mind now. Blessed week!
