A very good friend of mine – Emmanuel Utomi (GM – Success Power) is speaking in a program on the 10th of March this year. The title of the program is Individual Independence. The program is designed to be a practical workshop that helps participants answer the question of who they are, and why they are alive at a time like this. Looking at the poster before me now, I know I have to be there!
It is no joke that one of the fundamental problem humanity is faced with is the question of identity. People grapple with this, and after a little trial and error, the young chap submits him/herself to the voices around. After all, does it not take a village to train a child?
Nations fight for independence, shouldn’t people as well? I remember an interesting story I recently read.
As employees in a particular company arrived for work one morning, they saw a poster in the reception. The poster read as follows
“Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the conference room that has been prepared for this purpose”.
At first the employees felt bad, that one of their colleagues had died. When they thought about it further, they were sort of at least happy that at least whoever it was that was hindering their progress had been taken out of the way.
Curiosity gave in to excitement as the employees made their way to the conference room. The conference room soon became rowdy and noisy, in fact, security had to be briefed to keep things under control.
Excitement gave way to anxiety, and people became eager to know, who was this person that was responsible for their stagnation and lack of progress. At least, he’s dead! Everybody wanted to be first in line to take a peep into the coffin.
One by one the excited employees lined up to take a peep into the coffin, as they did they became speechless! They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul.
There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:
“There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth: it is YOU.
You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.
Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don’t be afraid of difficulties, impossiblilities and losses: be a winner, build yourself and your reality.
The world is like a mirror: it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed. The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.
It’s the way you face Life that makes the difference.”

Hey man! You starved us of our daily dose for 2days! Glad you are back online. I dont know yet but the timing of that program may coincide with my visit to the country. I will love to fight for my individual independence, nothing has made the desire stronger than my sojourn here.
I am intrested
This is what i call true talk. So many people lack self definition.
A lot of experiences come across my my mind that challenged my self defintion.Chief among them is my experience as a security contact and having dealt “well well “with the police/customs/NDLEA/Immigrations, etc, it’s amazing how qucikly people can redefine their standards in the face of a challenge.
How did i maintain my definition of self? I decided that i would rather fail as a security mgr, get kicked out for “lack of performance” if compromising is what it will take to “succeed”. Well, i got kicked out of the role but those who did hold me in high regard forever.
I know who i am, and i know that that person is not born yet who will define my capabilities and values for me. It wasn’t easy, i lost a regional job role but hey, i’m happier for it.
The question often is, when your values and self defn.are subjected to “STP”, what will happen?
“GBAM”
This is interesting!
self definition, to many, may not be easy to come by without first, self recognition… Without it,it could be the most frustrating dilemma a man could face… who am i? “i need my independence!…” Challenging the status quo is often required in bursting out of the ‘box’…and the stepping on ‘toes’ /’disloyal label tag’ dimension may set in, especially from people who hitherto benefit from ones’ ‘mediocrity’ of life… Courage and perseverance needed ! GOD factor can’t be played down though!
No one should miss this except those who do not count their lives’ purposes as important. I am going to be there.keep bringing such opportunity. Deolu , you are doing agreat job.

Good thoughts! It’s good that you are encouraging to print our own Obituaries and buy our own coffins, it is very important.
the greatest hindrance to a person’s growth is not the ecomomy,one’s enemies but oneself. whether you think you can or you think you cannot, you are right.
