I call what is not, as if it already is, .....

I have had instances in life when l have tried everything I can or at least l thought l had. Looking to my left, right and center, and failing to make sense of the Life formula. Is there a self – contained universal Life Formula - a method or procedure for achieving something(s).

I have heard of such ambitious formulas, an example of which that comes to mind is the “String Theory”. String theory is a theory of quantum gravity (a branch in Physics). String theory potentially provides a unified description of gravity and particle physics, it is a candidate for a theory of everything, a self-contained mathematical model that describes all fundamental forces and forms of matter. Despite the fame of the theory, it is not known to what extent string theory describes real world phenomenon. My mention of String theory is not to get entangled into its mechanics or its validity or lack thereof, but to draw some similarities in this grand idea that there can be a a self – contained universal Life Formula – in the same way physicists think of the theory of everything.

A further interesting learning from the physicists is from the fact that the full theory does not have a satisfactory definition in all circumstances. Another issue is that the theory is thought to describe an enormous landscape of possible universes, and this has complicated efforts to develop theories of particle physics based on string theory. Thus in the same vein, the definition of a Life Formula and the landscape of possibilities it is meant to cover is potentially too big an ask….

And yet, You and I are in search of it …..

My self-confined only option has been to look elsewhere, to look for mentors and to mentors, to look for insight from leading scholars in the fields of Self Confidence, Self-Worth, and Success etc. This has been my greatest recent quest on the realization that what l have tried before is not working, has not worked and will likely not work in the coming time - Hence l need new tactics and new strategies.....

There is a truth l have come to understand, and that truth is -

All things have a reason. One reason may be negative and dis-empowers you and the other is positive, and strengthens you. There is a phrase that l love by Antony Robins who says, The meaning you give to an event is the event ....

Bringing this closer to home, The reason or meaning you ascribe to the thing is the thing ….. Only you can choose the meaning that's appropriate for you – BUT You must be aware that to every happening, incident, moment, outcome is a two pronged choice of the meaning you ascribe to it and that choice must be made wisely....... I have made a conscious effort to build this trait in me, this demeanor that makes the realization that no matter the incident, I have the ultimate say what meaning it has in my life ….  

I have equally spent some time thinking about Success,

What is success...

My definition is according to what all 7 billion people have. All people have 24 hours and relationships in their lives – that is what we all have. But the difference between me and Bill Gates, Elon Musk, Oprah Winfrey is - They own their time, they own their 24 hours and they own their relationships. They only need to engage in activities that they deem beneficial according to their personal metric, and only associate with people they choose to do so with. My time on the other hand (and potentially your time) is owned by those that own my debt, and those that employ me, and my relationships are forced upon me or influenced by my superiors that employ me, and the owners of my debt.

Success, would seem to mean – Emancipation. You are only as successful to the degree that you own your time, and the relationships you have.

I like that definition!   

I am not yet successful. But what l ponder on, what l meditate on, Must come into being. I call what is not, as if it already is, .....

I am more than what l currently am, be it, what l am is informed by the economy, the community or myself.... We are more than what we are !

And if we have met, My first conversation with you was to the following effect .... "You are a seasoned business man, The failures are purely lessons and a school fee that you must pay, and have done so. Life's secret is in - calling what is not, before it is ... Calling you a seasoned business man, before the business is birthed. Believe that, live that, walk it, be it and all things will conspire to bring it into your life ... " ????

In closing, Yesterday, I had the chance to meet with some friends of mine ... And this is the message l posted to them, Post the meet. ..... A man who calls his kinsmen to a feast does not do so to redeem them from starving...... We all have food and drink in our own houses. In the days of old, When we gathered together in the moonlight village ground, it was not because of the moon. ... Every man could see it in his own compound.... We instead, came together because it is good for kinsmen to do so. We are kinsmen, Me and You … as you READ these thoughts. We are Kinsmen in this hunger to Emancipate ourselves and those around us - financially, mentally and spiritually. Let me and you, smile, not because we don't have problems but because we are stronger than the problems we face ....

Life changes when one realizes that .... The painful truth is I am exactly where I am because of the series of choices I have made whether knowingly or unknowingly......But the choices are based on the information l am exposed to or I expose myself to... Now the exciting thing is I can create the future I want by consciously making each choice, by exposing myself to the information that aligns with the future I want...

Onward we march !
