Be a Class Act , Never Settle for Mediocrity, Raise your standards.
The quality of your life depends on quality of the questions you are asking yourself on a daily basis.
As once said by Anthony Robbins.
This applies to everything-
I am sharing this now as a Wake Up Call when it hit me like a tsunami this morning ,when a neighbour of mine i heard has passed on , may her gentle soul rest in peace , she left behind 3 kids and her husband , she was in coma for hours in the clinic and gave up the ghost this morning. Her death made to ponder on my own life.
That life can happen to anyone who is not prepared for it , hmmm if you are doing a poor Job in your health , it can lead to a life of poor health or even an Early Death from neglect of your health.
1. You business or Career.
If you do a poor Job with your career and business , dear friend you will get little or No Rewards, you will get No sales or even a sales drought😭😭😭🙆🏾♂️🙆🏽♀️.
If you do a poor Job with focus you will end up with Micro wave or groundnut oil or only shopping voucher as your Major Highlight of 2022 🙆🏾♂️🙆🏽♀️😭😭🤔 chimoo.
You got to raise your standards so high from poor to good and even Excellence levels to be able to be getting customers regularly , closing deals, qualifying for dream incentives like suv, cars , all expenses paid trips overseas.
Being mediocres or average you get poor rewards 😱😱🤔🤔 and peanuts.
Who do you want to serve and how do you prefer to serve them? Low value or high value? Niche or mass market? Mega brands or no name? Your choice.
How has been sales in the first quarter , No Sales 😭, Low sales🙈 or You are Doing Well 💰💰😁👍🏽.
2. Your marital relationships.
Do you have a clear picture
of what makes sense for you or are you just rolling with the punches- literally?
Are you enjoying or enduring Marriage?
Poor Job in Marriage can lead to A Divorce or broken home.
Average Job in marriage can lead to a marriage full of fighting and constant misunderstanding in the relationship.
Outstanding levels requires emotional intelligence , ability to solve problems with solutions and forgiveness in the relationship.
Do you have boundaries or no boundaries?
Do you endure physical abuse in your marriage and say he or she will change?
It is better to be single and alive sometimes than to be Dead and Married.
3. Friendships.
Are they Deep and Meaningful? Or long list
of generic surface relationships?
Do you know everyone but no one looks out for you? Like having Weak Wes( people) , Weak friendships of knowing Everyone but Noone can show up for you when you fall down.
Deep Friendships involve strong bonds of people who practically stand by you or hold you up when you fall.
4. Family- Kids – Do you have a vision for the kind of
children you want to raise? What will you need to do? Who do you need to help you? What do you need to learn?
May your Kids not put your name in the Mud or embarrass your Last Name ameen.
What happened in the Chrisland Primary school let it be a Wake up Call to All parents out there.
If you do a poor Job in the area of parenting it can cost you tears 😢, shame, disgrace , even sorrow and embarrassment either as a young parent or even in your old age.
Make sure you do a great Parenting Job so that you have peace of mind and raise kids that you as a parent will be Proud of.
5. Finances. This is another area of life. You will need to get your acts together.
Basically, finance represents money management and the process of acquiring needed funds. Finance also encompasses the oversight, creation, and study of money, banking, credit, investments, assets, and liabilities that make up financial systems.
Poor Job in finances can give poverty
Average levels can give you peanuts
Good job can give average earnings
Excellence levels can give Great Income
What is your earnings like low , average or Great ?
Do you have any investments in your Name?
How many streams of income do you have ?
Do you even have any form of high income skills to provide for you and your family?
Do you always struggle to survive or make money?
6. Health and Fitness.
A poor Job in your health can lead to early death, sickness and life threatening diseases
An average job gives you access only to a poor health services or average services health care that is just manageable.
Until you raise the standards here to be able to have a good lifestyle, exercise , good nutrition and enjoy access to good health care system and the best doctors in nigeria and even overseas.
The World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being, not simply the absence of disease or disease.
Fitness refers to the ability of your body systems to work together efficiently to allow you to be healthy and perform activities of daily living.
7. Spirituality..
Spirituality is the broad concept of a belief in something beyond the self. It may involve religious traditions centering on the belief in a higher power, but it can also involve a holistic belief in an individual connection to others and to the world as a whole..
How is the quality of your spiritual life ?
Do you create time for this area of your life?
