2017 SHM WEEKLY WISDOM TITBITS. WEEK 50. GOALS & IMAGINATION.
GOALS & IMAGINATION.
(First Published in December 2016)
According to the time of man, a new year is just around the corner as the current year enters into its throes of expiration. And as usual, many are setting out plans for the coming year. But how can you do this effectively?
The Almighty God is the best project manager in the world because He does nothing without planning. And that is His expectation for mankind – to plan in order to in a position to execute. Anyone who wants to build must first sit down and do a cost analysis, so that he would not become embarrassed, He counsels. SO IT BEHOVES EVERY SMART (WO)MAN TO SET GOALS TO SUCCEED!
Trust me, setting goals and achieving them ‘no be beans’ as we say in Nigeria’s local parlance. Meaning it usually is hard to match plan with reality. But there is a way out that I want to share today. That is where your IMAGINATION comes in.
A dictionary definition of ‘imagination’ is “forming mental images or concepts of what is not actually present to the senses”.
Now, imagination is a sweet thing! I just love it. In your imagination, you can own the world! Nobody can interrupt your imagination, no negative comments can rain on the parade of your imagination, because the picture is in your mind. You own it and can apply it to your plans!
But the sweetest thing about imagination for me is that IT IS THE WAY GOD HAS OPERATED from time immemorial; the way He has achieved all He has and will continue to achieve! In fact God knows how potent a power the imagination is that He confessed that not even He can stop man’s imagination when deployed!
So, how can you deploy your imagination to set and achieve your goals?
First, you must learn to engage your mind in seeing the invincible. Remember our operative definition of ‘imagination’ above.
In other words, you must become a dreamer! Sit down and begin to picture in your mind where you want to go, what you want to become. Trust me, while the Spirit of God was hovering upon the face of the deep at re-creation, that was exactly what He was doing. Visualising in His mind’s eye the possibilities. By the time He commanded light to be, He already saw it happen in His imagination! And light had no choice but to burst forth!
Second, live with your imagination. What does this mean? Stay with the vision you have dreamt up! Never give up, NO MATTER THE OBSTACLES. Become another Brother Joseph. Of course, anyone who has not lived in your imagination; who does not know what you have dreamt up will tell you your plans can’t be achieved, or that it will be hard! Reference Joseph’s brothers and the Lord of Samaria upon who the king leaned!
Living in your imagination will also help when it appears nothing dey work, nothing dey shele! Just adopt a ‘no shaking’ attitude. The thing go work eventually if your liver no fail you! {Persist even when it appears nothing is happening. Do not chicken out!} So train your mind to keep your eye on the ball!
Finally, remain with an attitude of thanksgiving. Do not be your own enemy. Whilst waiting, keep doing the right thing, never cutting corners. Do not compromise; do not take the short cut. Keep trusting and praising He who owns the universe! Your period of waiting is just a test. Remember the tallest buildings must have the deepest foundations! Remember also that God does not measure time as man does, because He is time Himself. So, a long time to you might just be a blinking of an eye to Him!
I perceive in my spirit that the coming will be your best year yet. So, engage your imagination and plan your goals to success, good health, prosperity, enviable family etc. See that future you want in your mind’s eye – engage your imagination. YOU SHALL EXCEL! We love you.

And The Stones Tumbled.
Easy to condemn,
Harder to forgive.
To ridicule others, effortless.
To praise, harder than meteorite.
He who is without ought, He said,
the first stone to cast.
Alas, none the courage had,
to cast the stone first.
For none there be without fault.
Yet, they be fault finding!
At last all their stones tumbled,
humbled as their haughty bearers.
What a sight glorious when
all their stones tumbled,
their bearers humbled!
Thank you Sire, for lessons
so apt, that my future assured.
No matter how filthy, how soiled.
A home for me to find in your
bossom so righteous; that I,
my dirty self, is made whole;
and made acceptable that no
haughty spirit can me torment!
Stones have tumbled indeed.
(Inspired by Jn. 8: 1-11)

Wisdom Nuggets 101_Digital Disruption.
Business is no longer being done in the ways taught in business schools or passed down in organizations through training. Business models are becoming dated in the face of nimble and agile organizations; due mainly in part to what is described as Digital Disruptions.
Ask metered taxis, the effect that the UBER App has had on their business. The effect of digital disruption is that entrepreneurial start-ups reaching the $1billion evaluation milestone quicker than before; and the average lifespan of S & P 500 companies has shrunk by almost two-thirds in the last 50 years?
Implication for you and your business is simple … innovate, digitize or fizzle out. As Digital Disruption is happening across industries, are you really willing to take that risk?
