How was your weekend? Mine was super busy!

It started with me hosting my estate residents zoom meeting for two and a half hours. I left it feeling drained! 

I barely had enough time to eat and drop my daughter off at a friend’s birthday, before I had to sign in for the Smart Stewards Summit 5.0.

Ah, if you missed it, I can’t summarize it for you o. The gbas gbos was too much. At a point, I felt personally attacked! Like “ah, aunty off your mike, it’s okay!” 🤦🏾‍♀️🙆🏾‍♀️

Everything was discussed, from our financial habits, to what we need to do about the disruption that is Covid. There were powerful speakers and too much sense shared. 

Coach Mfon was the final icing on the cake when she took us on a roller coaster lecture for four hours plus from 6pm. It was like I should just go and sleep. Ha! 

I’ll try to summarize what she said. 

Many of the things we believe were indoctrinated in us from childhood. Just think of any belief you hold strongly- it was either your parents told you or you saw them do it that way and it became the gospel! 

We are all a product of our environment- and I don’t mean your physical location e.g Lagos, Atlanta or Toronto. I mean the sum of the people In your circle, books you read, movies you watch, who you follow on social media, which music you listen to.... get it? 

So if you want to change your life, the first step will be to change your environment. Now I don’t mean moving from Lagos to Toronto (even though that may help). What would really help more is to guard your heart. Protect what you see and hear. Change your circle of friends. Surround yourself with those who have either achieved your dream, or are on their way. 

Hold on, did I mention you have to have a dream? Okay, Let’s rewind.

To change your life, You must have a dream - I mean it must be clear - what do you want for your life in 5, 10, 20, 40 years? A relaxed life living by the beach? A legacy? A sterling career/business that outlives you? Can you see it clearly? You’ve got to write it down. Capture it in pictures and words. And feed that dream. Daily. How? Your thoughts.

Now what do you do about the dream? It’s not enough to be Joseph the dreamer. The Lord gives the plans but you’ve got to build it! 

You must be so consumed by this dream that you must not rest till you take a step towards it. Sometimes that’s all it needs. One step. One down payment. One sign up for that coaching. One phone call to get things moving. As you move, your whole body will respond. 

Heck the universe will align in your Favour. 

Because you had the thought. 

And you followed with action. 

Because the miracle is in the DOING. 

Today, banish thoughts/ words such as “I cannot afford it”. Ask instead “Is there a payment plan?” 

Because when the dream manifests, you will know because it will be so clear. At that time, you should not negotiate with the dream. Go for it. Put down a part payment. Secure the spot.

Or else, those thoughts of “I cannot afford it” become real and you never indeed will ever be able to afford it. 

On the other side, when you make a move, your whole being will navigate towards finding the rest of the money/ resources. And that’s how the dream is funded.

Even if what is needed is time- when you squeeze out one hour to start, your whole body will rearrange to find the one hour consistently.

Remember how we got here - Thought - Action - Dream. 

Take a hold of your thoughts today. Reject the thoughts and words that don’t get you anywhere. 

Speak instead what you want to see. 

And the universe will align with them. 

It’s another Monday and I’m here rooting for you!
