The Power of Association


Association is a delicate catalyst of influence; its forces leaves no one the same.

Association is a medium of impartation, with either positive or negative forces. It affects one's general being - physical, mental, and spiritual.

Relationship facilitates influence. The kinds of people an individual moves with closely plays a big role in shaping him or her. 
A good company adds value, a bad one drains. Whom you move with affects whom you become. Your association gets you either better or worse.

Where you dwell affects what you do. A sheep in the fold of dogs will turn wild and eventually get destroyed. If you dwell in the company of achievers, you will likely become one. You can not be much different from the people you associate with.

Your network is a strong connection to your desired destination. To be productive, associate with productive people. To be brave, company with the lion-hearted.

Relationship is key to success in life; and it requires a lot of carefulness and deliberateness. 

Colin Powell once said that, "the power of association is too real: the less you associate with some people, the more your life will improve. Any time you tolerate mediocrity in others, it increases your mediocrity."

Associate with people of like minds of vision and values. Any relationship which does not spur you to know more, do more, and be more, may crush your potential to shine.

Mind your association.

Be Real

"Let your emotions and expressions be true colours of your intentions" Deceit is an act of deceiving. A deceiver is a misleader. Where deception thrives, destruction looms. Deceit is a crooked means to any end. Success may come by deceit but it will neither be honourable nor durable. Whatever is not achieved on the basis of truth is not glorious. Therefore, don't be a deceiver or pretender, face life headlong and make sensible outcomes of it. Great men don't live fake lives, they are rather real.  Pretenders don't maximize potentials. Be true to yourself and live truly. Don't paint an image of whom you are not to others, because time will tell whom you truly are. Hypocrisy will end you up a nonentity. If you truly mean it a business to be great, then you have to approach life with every sense of seriousness and self originality.  You have to be real. Stop living a fake life. As long as you are fake, you can not focus on doing what is required to be...

Digits of Diligence

Image
The wise love work and work diligently. To the wise, work is an opportunity to shine, the fool takes it as a medium of oppression. To be hardworking is to take work seriously and do it well and rapidly. A diligent fellow performs with intense concentration, focus, and responsible regard. Diligence is a way-maker; it paves way for success and open doors for honour. A wise man loves work and works hard. Work is a medium of polishing potentials and proving capabilities. It is an avenue of processing and packaging self for glory. No one becomes great being indolent. There is no substitute to work; inputs determine outputs. Laziness is an attribute of foolishness. A fool thinks that luck can replace hard work. No! The wise work hard and wishes for luck for a nice outcome. The wise know that there is no harvest without completing the processes of plantation. Diligence is a personal responsibility which is developed and sustained by discipline. Discipline is indispensable. The wis...

Discernment For Direction

Image
"Discernment is essential for gaining direction and making guided decisions." The advent of a special or new season is often heralded by quiet yet significant events, unusual challenges (including temptations), and seemingly lonely exposures. Navigating this phase requires cultivating a regulated mind in solitude and developing sensitivity to discern divine intentions and directives. This discernment is crucial for identifying the necessary consecrations and sacrifices required to successfully transition from an old season to a new level of glory. #Discernment #Sensitivity #WisdomForLife #PurposefulLiving
