Become a Person of Value and Influence

How to Become a Person of Value and Influence - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCG1U8m5Gae9sns1ASLVkZBw">Toyin Popoola</a> 5 Ways to Become a Person of Value and<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MGVqoxWom6w"> Influence</a> 1. Find your passion and purpose  The greatest tragedy in life is not death but a life without a purpose said, Dr. Myles Munroe. Purpose, persistence, and perseverance are the key to success. Definiteness of purpose is the starting point of all achievement – W. Clement Stone You need to, first of all, understand your purpose for life because if the purpose of a thing is not known, abuse is inevitable.   2. Add value to yourself. It is often said that “the more you learn the more you earn.” Commit to a lifetime of learning and make it your responsibility to get updated in your profession or vocation. If you’re not updated, you will be outdated. You must make learning a routine by doing it on a daily, regular, and frequent basis because what you do daily determines what you become permanently. Proverbs 4.7 says that wisdom is supreme: The beginning of wisdom is this: Get skillful and godly wisdom, this is preeminent; and with all your acquiring, get understanding.   3. Be yourself. You’re born original so don’t die a copy. Remember imitation is a limitation and if you’re trying to be someone else, the best you can be is number two or second best. To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment says, Ralph Waldo Emerson. When we live our lives mimicking or imitating others, it steals our originality. Guess what? Imitations don’t get much attention, originals do. Don’t change so people will like you. Be yourself and the right people will love the real you. To be a person of influence, don’t be anyone else but you.  Eleanor Roosevelt said you wouldn’t worry so much about what others think of you if you realized how seldom they do! 4. Develop a good character and Integrity Talent is never enough, according to John C Maxwell's novel, he emphasizes the importance of character. If all you have is talent, you might not get very far if you don't have a strong character to back it up. Many actors, talented artists, singers, and athletes have fallen by the wayside as a result of their failure to handle their gifts and talents. We've also seen a few of them soar with their abilities because they exude great character and honesty, which has helped them stand out in their professions, personal lives, and professional lives. 5. Become a problem solver  We rise by lifting others. Success comes in direct proportion to the number of people you help. The happiest people I know are those who lose themselves in the service of others says, Gordon B Hinckley. Form a habit of helping and solving problems for people. This comes from being genuinely interested in people and when you are, it will be easy to solve problems for them hence you add value and in turn becomes a person of value. Remember, people don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care! To be a person of value and influence, you have to become genuinely interested in people enough to solve a specific problem for them. Think of what you can do to make lives better. The more people you solve problems for, the more valuable and influential you become. “You can have everything you want in life if you just help enough people get what they want in life.” “There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up.” “Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others.” “We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.”

Difficult Things That Powerful People Do

Difficult Things That Powerful People Do - Toyin Popoola 1 - They are early risers:  Waking up early is a hard thing to do. But the benefits outweigh the temporary pleasure of sleeping till early mornings of the day. Below are the great benefits you get from being an early riser: 1A, Quiet Time  1A, Early start helps your concentration.  By waking up earlier than everyone else, you have enough time to concentrate, plan the day  ahead, make important decisions and appointments and if you are a spiritual person, it's the best time for personal devotion. 1B, Quality of Sleep: Good sleep routine means going to bed early, wake up early and at the same time daily! This also create an automation in form of "Internal clock” in your body that helps you to sleep and wake up naturally. 1C, Increased productivity When you sleep very late, the natural tendency is for the body to want more sleep till late morning which inevitably leads to eating late into the afternoon. Your body needs nutrients and energy in the morning to break the 'fast' and once you skip breakfast, your body goes into starvation. Eating breakfast also helps to reduce eating unhealthy/junk food throughout the day. Let’s look into the life of some successful people, who are early risers: Apple CEO Tim Cook Cook is known for getting up and sending out company emails at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFxFDT-O6LI&t=270s">4:30</a> in the morning, according to Gawker's Ryan Tate.  By 5 AM he can be found in the gym. And he works late too, priding himself on being the first in the office and the last out. Former US president, George HW Bush George Bush snr would get up at 4 a.m., go running, be in the office by 6 a.m. and stay up until 2 a.m. "He was a horror," said a former White House nurse who had to try to keep up with him.  2nd Habit - They are good planners   Why put off till tomorrow what can be done today! Remember, tomorrow is the smartest inventions for lazy people... Remember that failing to plan is planning to fail.  Great leaders don’t just plan, but also work the plan. They recognise that a goal without a plan is just a wish. 3rd Habit - They are readers  Readers are leaders Most of the World's powerful, influential and Rich are great readers. Even those who don't read widely do so wisely. Only 5% of wealthy people watch reality shows, while about 68% of them watch an hour of television daily.  So, why do you read?   Reading reminds you  Reading challenges you  Reading improves you   Reading updates you 4th Habit - They know how to say NO.  Saying NO to a friend's request sometimes make us feel like a BAD person but it is actually ‘the disease to please’  The ability to say "no" is an act of power. No matter how, what, or why you say it, being able to say NO is an indication that you are powerful.   Always remember that, You’re not a superman! Acknowledge that you can't do everything, and saying "Yes" to everyone may leave you trapped and eventually have no time for yourself and family.  5th Habit - They are risk takers  “It’s not because things are difficult that we dare not venture. It’s because we dare not venture, that they are difficult.”  If you’re not courageous enough to take risks, you will accomplish nothing in life.  “Every risk is worth taking as long as it’s for a good cause, and contributes to a good life.”  Les Brown said: If you’re not willing to risk, you cannot grow. If you cannot grow, you cannot be your best. If you cannot be your best, you cannot be happy. If you cannot be happy, what else is there?

5 things to boost your self esteem - Toyin Popoola

5 things to boost self-esteem - Toyin Popoola Self-esteem is an individual's subjective evaluation of their own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs about oneself as well as emotional states, such as triumph, despair, pride, and shame.    In other words, how much you appreciate and like yourself.  There are three (3) types of self-esteem <ul> <li>Inflated self-esteem </li> <li>High Self-esteem </li> <li>Low self-esteem   </li> </ul> So, the first thing to do to improve your self-esteem is to: 1 - Belief in Yourself.  Believe in your worth, talent, abilities, and potential. You need to build that trust in yourself, love yourself, and acknowledge that you’re special, fearfully, and wonderfully made. Always remember that you are braver than you think, more talented than you know, smarter than you seem, and capable of more than you imagine. If you believe in yourself, anything is possible. 2 - Recognise what you're good at.   We're all good at something, whether it's cooking, singing, doing puzzles, or being a friend. Find your passion, locate your talent, work on it through regular use and practice and that, is your strength.  Talent + Skill (Practice) + Knowledge = Strength. 3 - Remember your Past victories. the more you acknowledge your past success, the more confidence you become in taking on and successfully accomplishing new ones. Document your victories and remind yourself of the things you’ve done successfully to validate yourself. For David - killing bears and Lions). I love the way David presented His victories to King Saul in 1 Sam 17:36 when he wanted to confront Goliath. He said to Saul, your servant has killed both the lion and the bear, and this uncircumcised Philistine will be like one of them since he has defied the armies of the living God.” His past victories became the confidence to future challenges. 4 - Build positive relationships: Be sure to surround yourself with positive people, who celebrate and bring out the best version in you. Hang around people you trust and respect, who support you and listen to you and you in turn are comfortable around them. But remember to create boundaries, be assertive and learn to say NO without feeling guilty. 5 – Be kind to yourself: Being kind to yourself means being gentle and considerate to yourself at times when you feel like being self-critical. Think of what you'd say to a friend in a similar situation. Most times we respect and give far better advice to others than we do to ourselves.   Always remember that learning to love yourself is the greatest love of all
