BE EXCELLENT IN YOUR PRESENT - SOYEZ EXCELLENT DANS VOTRE PRÉSENT
Do not be so focused on your destination that you do not enjoy the journey. Many are so stressed trying to achieve their goal that life becomes a chore rather than an adventure. Are you so focused on the result that the process is suffering? If you cannot do what you are facing in the present with excellence, the result will not be as glorious as you desire, every step of the process is an indication of what the result is going to look like. They say success has no escalator, so we need to give equal attention to every step. No step is more important than the other, if we have a misstep, it will affect the process. There are no shortcuts, if you want to accomplish your dream, climb every step with excellence. The present step is as important as the final goal, do it with excellence. Have a great day!
Ne soyez pas si concentré sur votre destination que vous n'aimez pas le voyage. Beaucoup sont tellement stressés en essayant d'atteindre leur objectif que la vie devient une corvée plutôt qu'une aventure. Êtes-vous si concentré sur le résultat que le processus souffre? Si vous ne pouvez pas faire ce que vous faites dans le présent avec excellence, le résultat ne sera pas aussi glorieux que vous le désirez, chaque étape du processus est une indication de ce à quoi le résultat va ressembler. On dit que le succès n'a pas d'escalator, nous devons donc accorder une attention égale à chaque étape. Aucune étape n'est plus importante que l'autre, si nous avons un faux pas, cela affectera le processus. Il n'y a pas de raccourcis, si vous voulez réaliser votre rêve, montez chaque escalier avec excellence. La présente étape est aussi importante que l'objectif final, faites-le avec excellence. Passez une bonne journée!

ARE YOU STUCK IN A MOMENT? - ÊTES-VOUS COINCÉ DANS UN MOMENT?
We normally talk about the high and low points in life. Both of these can be a sticky point for many. There are events or moments that are so intense in our lives that we always remember them no matter how far they are in our past. Some are moments that we would rather forget and others are events that we look to that bring joy to our souls, therefore we are reluctant to let them go. Whether the were sad or joyous moments, they are all in the past and if we let them, they can become stumbling blocks to our future. The past is the past and all we need it for is as reference, we cannot pitch our tent in the past. Most times, when people talk about being stuck in the past, they tend to only refer to unfortunate memories that stop people from moving forward, but we should not forget that past victories can be as dangerous as past failures. Any success is just a stepping stone to another level, but many camp there and forget that there is more to life than their last victory especially if they were greatly rewarded for that success. It is very important to note that focusing on the reward rather than on the impact makes a lot of people achieve far below their ability. We have to understand that financial reward are just an offshoot of success, it is not success. There many who are financially above normal levels, in any given society, who have not contributed anything that society needs to advance. However, it is difficult to see those have succeeded in advancing the human race who do not have financial rewards as the icing on the cake. Do not allow financial rewards and people's applause to keep you stuck in the moment and prevent you from going on to the next level. True success has no end, even after you leave the stage, it will still be a leverage for those coming behind. Any dream that dies with the visionary was never a real dream, it was just an avenue to make money. Have a beautiful week!

ARE YOU JUST SCRIBBLING OR YOU ARE WRITING A STORY? - GRIFFONNEZ-VOUS SIMPLEMENT OU ECRIVEZ-VOUS UNE HISTOIRE?
Death has a way of reminding us that we have just one life to live and make all the contributions we can. A week ago, someone I knew died suddenly and that was not the first time someone I knew has died. However, this time around, it got me thinking about what we leave behind when we die. That little hyphen between the date of birth and the date of death is the record of the contributions we made in life. Have you ever stopped to think of what that record will do for others that are left behind? Would it help them approach life better and make it more successful and more productive? Did your contributions change the landscape around you? When you look at some lives, it looks like all they did was scribble, no clear story, no lessons for anyone to use. It is sad to waste a whole lifetime without any concrete evidence that you passed through this world except for passing time and acquiring things. SAD! In most of Africa, where many are just struggling to survive each day, it can be daunting task to write your story in history but it is not an impossibility if you recognise the fact that many beautiful stories come out of the struggles of life. Writing a story that changes the way people look at life which helps them to make a success of theirs, does not take wealth, it takes living with intention. When you see life beyond everyday existence to living with the intention to advance human living in any small way you can,you will make decisions that make you take steps with purpose. That is what writing your story in history is all about, it does not have to be world history but it could be a story that changes the perspective of anyone in your sphere of influence and your immediate community. It is never too late to start living with intention, some have done things that they will be remembered for and which would help others go further, faster in the last few years of their lives. Decide to start writing a story from where you are right now so that at the end of your life, it won't look like all you left behind were things you scribbled that cannot help anyone approach life in a more purposeful way. Have a great weekend!
