HOW TO MAKE SENSE OUT OF NONSENSE.

“What makes no sense now will make perfect sense later.”
~ Anonymous.

Thousands of people across the globe on daily bases give up on their projects, ideas, dreams, work, relationship and even life itself, because they feel or were told it/they don’t make sense. But have come to realize through researches and life experiences that what make little or no sense now, could be cherished by the wisest men tomorrow.
This is why I’m sharing this week on; How to Make Sense Out of Nonsense.

5 Ways to Make Sense Out of Nonsense

1. Employ the Power of Vision : vision is very powerful. Two sales men from a shoe manufacturing company in a town where no one wears shoe, saw different things. One saw a place where their products were not needed, to him it doesn’t make sense to sell shoes in a place where everyone go bare footed. And the other saw an untapped market for their shoes where there are no competitors. How you see any situation is what matter most; not how worst the condition is.
2. Develop Positive Mental Attitude : learn to be positive about every situation you find yourself, because it will create the right atmosphere for you to get the best out of it. Most of our worst situations if properly perceived are opportunities in disguised. Positive mental attitude will help you see the sense (opportunities) in any senseless situation.
3. Beware of People Options : because humans are limited and they don’t see what you see a times. Your closest associate out of having your best interest at heart could innocently talk you out of your dream or best idea(s). Don’t tabernacle on what people feel or say to judge your idea at all times. Because if it turns out successful, most of them that condemned it, will come back to say it is the most sensible thing they have ever seen. In some situations, it is not what people say or feel that matters, but rather what you say and feel is all that really count.
4. Give it Time : never be in an hurry to give up on any idea. If you can give it enough time, you will see it making lot of sense. Be patient with that relationship, work, project, career, talent, spouse, and what ever you feel is not making sense; everything is going to be alright. Persistence and patience are irreplaceable essential ingredients of success in anything. Give it some more time!
5. You need Knowledge : you need to know and understand that, it may not make any sense at first, go and cheek the history; greatest inventions suffer the worst criticism at their initial/raw stage(s). A search for a perfect (sensible) beginning is always endless. Be always conscious of the fact that, sense is a ‘nonsense’ that the ‘non’ has been removed. So, you need to arm yourself with the knowledge needed to move on in life no matter what and dare the great things that have kept men behind the podium of greatness.

Let me conclude by pointing out clearly that God is the best at making out sense from every senseless situation or person. And the wisest thing you can ever do is to seek His help. Remember, we struggle in life when we ignore God.

It’s my utmost desire to inspire you regularly. Just be your best even in your bends. Like my page and follow me on: www.facebook.com/osgblog

The Sense in Nonsense.

“Almost everything (including you) doesn’t make sense at first. But a man of understanding always draws sense from every senseless situation.”
~ Olusegun Samson G.

Just while Colonel Harland Sanders felt his life is no longer making sense, he caught an idea presumed by some at that time to be nonsense. But today, even a senseless person could see the sense in that idea.

Sanders at 65 was retired and broke with his life been far from a successful one. Sitting on a couch in front of his house in Corbin, Kentucky, a man walk up to him and handed him his first social security cheek. Looking at the cheek in his hand, said to himself, “the government is going to pay me 105dollars every month so I could etch out a life. There is definitely something I could do.”

Motivation working on him, thought for days what he could do. After several moment of thinking, an idea came to mind. He remembers his grandmother had a special way of frying chicken, and could also recollect how much they all love it. He packages his idea and started moving from one restaurant to the other with his special recipe looking for a potential franchisee. He was turned down by so many, but he never gave up.

Finally, he got his first customer and was offer a contract. He was getting a certain percentage for each of his sold chicken. In less than 7year, Sanders was fielding franchise requests steadily and had more than 600 restaurants across US and Canada selling his (Kentucky) Fried Chicken. And that was the beginning of Kentucky Fried Chicken, now popularly known as KFC; one of the world largest franchise.
At age 80, Colonel Sanders was a millionaire and a prominent personality in America and beyond.

So many of us had murdered great ideas that could have change our life forever or transform our generation, because someone/people told us they don’t make sense. We never took some vital steps and actions because we felt they are not going to make sense. Every great invention and outstanding accomplishments don’t always make sense at first. But achievers have learnt to always go further, it makes sense or not; because that’s the only way to know if it does.

Is that marriage not making sense, do you feel that job is a total mess. What ever the senseless situation that is starring at you may be; there is a sense in it. Don’t give up on that idea, relationship or dream, it may not be making sense now, but trust me it will. There is always a ‘sense’ after the little ‘non’ in non-sense.

Next week we will be going further, as I will be sharing with us on: How to Make Sense Out of Nonsense and Make Your Dreams Come Through. Don’t miss it.

HOW TO BREAK BAD HABIT: - 7 Proven Steps To Breaking Bad Habit And Addiction.

“The most exhilarating achievement is breaking bad habit.”
~ Anonymous.

Almost every one of us have one bad habit or the other. From biting of nails, talkativeness, wasting time on social media, television and movies addictiveness, gambling, games, disordered eating, excessive sugar in-take, using sleep as escape, to more grievous ones like; smoking, drinking of alcohol, dangerous sexual practices, drug addiction, masturbation and racism among many others. The fact is, each day a new habit is formed or one is in the process of forming one. Beware!

Host of people all over the world lament everyday about one bad habit or the other. They hate doing it, but it’s like they can do without it. And in a bit to find solution, they do some ridiculous things that always end-up complicating things. I once heard of a young man who cut off his penis in a bit to stop his addiction to sex and masturbation. That foolish act claims his life. What a pity!

In the process of forming a bad habit, the beginning is usually sweet and seems harmless. But once formed, it becomes unstoppable and grievous like a moving training that looses it break. Bad habits are self-destructive. You have to make a choice to either break that bad habit or watch it break you.

Before we go into the 7 Proven Steps to Breaking a Bad Habit; please note this: Most of life is habitual, we do almost the same thing everyday. This is why you need to be conscious of what you do per time. Our habit, good or bad, makes us who we are.

7 Proven Steps To Breaking Bad Habits And Addictions

1. Acknowledge : the first step is to identify the bad habit you wish to stop and acknowledge it’s negative influence. Write the habit down and examine it self-destructive nature. For example, biting of nail do not just make you look ridiculous, it equally pose a serious threat to one’s health, as the finger nail is one of the most contaminated part of the body. No matter how harmless that bad habit may look like, if you try research about it negative impact, you will be startled by your findings.
2. Examine the Situational Background : habit are usually influence by certain emotional or situational background. You need to find out; when, where, why, how and with whom you perform the habit. When you understand the situational background of the habit, it makes it easy for you to develop a strategy to break the pattern.
3. Be Determine : we always under estimate our will-power. Bad habit could be difficult to break, but like every other thing, it always bows to the force of determination. Every true determination is backup by action induce by self-control. Just make up your mind to stop. You can.
4. Work on your Thought: the foundation of every habit is laid in the mind. There are images, voices and ideas in the mind that are fueling the bad habit by generation bad thought. Habit is the product of our most dominating thought. So to stop a bad habit, you need to kill a bad thought. Bad thought are best kill with ‘but’. For example, it feels nice to smoke, but I will not, because it will affect my health. When you ‘but kill’ your bad thought, over time your mind will be filled with good thoughts.
5. Replace the Bad Habit with Good Habit: when your clear a piece of land and leave it fallow. After a while, unwanted weeds will grow on it. So it’s important you replace the bad habit with a good one. Looking for a good habit to substitute the bad one is a key step in breaking bad habit.
6. Be Patient and Persistence: it takes time to break a bad habit. In fact psychologists believe it could take as long as six month to a year to break some habit. Be patient and never give up. Just like Ralph Whaldo Emerson said, “That which we persist in doing becomes easier-not that the nature of the task has changed, but our ability to do has increased.”
7. Let your Family and Close Associates Know What You Want to Do and Ask Them to Help you:
this will inspire commitment and help you to be accountable. Tell them to watch your progress and do all they can to help.

More importantly, you need to seek God’s help in prayer too. Because some bad habits are usually influence by some unseen powerful forces; only prayer to God can break them. If you need special counsel, please feel free to contact me.
