SIMPLE PRACTICES TO HELP INCREASE YOUR CONFIDENCE AND BE VERY EFFECTIVE BOTH IN YOUR PERSONAL LIFE AND IN THE MARKET PLACE.

Hello Merkuriusblog family and friends, I’m so glad to have such an amazing online family. I feel so blessed for you guys support and love all through this journey, from day one till date. I’m so grateful and I appreciate and love each and everyone of you.

The essence of a family like this is GROWTH!. For everyone to experience growth in various aspect of their lives; personally, careers, businesses, relationships, psychologically, mentally, socially and lifestyle in general. This is why I continue to share innovative strategies, insights and wisdom to help us achieve that.

After some research, I took my time to prepare and create this invaluable online course that will help us end this year in a very high note and kick start the new year with so much confidence, enthusiasm, positive energy and practical skillset to crush our goals and enjoy meaningful success in life.

The first time i was invited for keynote speaking, I was nervous but still had the courage to speak, it wasn’t my best performance but I was proud of myself. 

I was in a very good place in life then, sound and happy. I was taking care of myself spiritually, physically, mentally, emotionally and every other way. 

I discovered that courage is not the absence of nervousness. But few years later, life hit me and my family so hard that I lost the sense of how important it is to prioritize self care and that made me lack the ability to take care of myself as I should.

All I focused on was the health challenge, financial difficulties and the sadness of each day. I was consumed by this ugly life experience. But one thing I did was, I never stopped learning and studying, I was still taking courses, reading books, going to seminars and gaining more knowledge and wisdom and yet I feel less confident day after day. 

Until I realized what was missing, I was still struggling with confidence and productivity with all my knowledge.

If you have ever been in such situation, or you are in such situation right now, worry no more the solution is here. In this course are simple and yet very powerful practices and ways of boosting your confidence and becoming more productive and very effective both in your personal and professional life.

WILLINGNESS AND ACCEPTANCE

Will Power is needed for us to make the most of our journey in life. Most people are willing to do what it takes to be successful or to lead a meaningful life, but few out of the willing ones do actually possess the WILL POWER to do so.

You might be wondering why, I’ll tell you why; willingness is a state, and to get into any state you require ENERGY — Will Power is that ENERGY you need to get into the state of willingness. So it’s impossible for you get into that state or rather be willing to do something greater without you immersing yourself into the energy called “will power”. As cool as this may sound, let’s not forget that energy are in levels and it’s wisdom to allow yourself to grow into different levels rather than trying to forcefully jump into it. This is where acceptance comes into play.

Hang in there with me buddy, we are getting some where. The positive energy called will power is seen as the gateway to higher levels in life. NOTE: The goal of this blog is to get you to understand how you can make this energy (will power) automatic so you can tap into it at will.

Mind you, some people already operate in the neutral level and higher level of this energy without knowing it. They don’t necessarily see it as will power as in the sense of the word, they call it differently, some call it commitment, some call it determination and so on. But every great decision and action are born out of the energy called will power.

So when we talk about willingness, it’s about transporting yourself into a state that implies that you have overcome inner resistance to life and you are committed to participation or action. But transporting yourself into this state and following through demands and requires substantial amount of energy, without this energy people don’t always pull through to the very end. Just imagine for a second making such energy automatic, making it a part of you, you will be amazed how much great things you could accomplish. No kidding, imagine it and hold it in your head for at least 30seconds if you can please.

Now let’s talk ACCEPTANCE and how it’s connected to Willingness. You will agree with me that the best way to make something automatic is to build a habit around it or turn it into a habit. Habits are consciously built, and to build anything awareness is required. Acceptance is a level of awareness. Because of the subject of discussion, we are not going to talk about accepting your weaknesses and things like that. We want to shift it a little bit, here we will be talking about acceptance of truth and understanding. (Understanding the fact that you are the source and the creator of the experiences of your life.) Is this something you think you can accept? Let me know on the comment section below. This might sound so easy, but in reality it’s a difficult thing to accept.

Come to think of it, there are certain things you have experienced in life that are not your making or that you have no power over, so why then will you accept that you are the source and the creator of your experiences in life. But please listen, here lies the secret; Accepting that your are the source and creator of your experiences simply hands you the power to transform whatever you don’t like. It hands you the power to evolve, re-evolutionize, and harmoniously use the forces of life to your advantage.

When you accept this truth, you become a creator. Acceptance of such truth will boost your will power, which in turn puts you in the state (willingness) to always act or perform. Keeping this level of awareness all the time makes it become a habit. The energy to act is what separates the great from the small. If you want to learn more on this particular subject just send us an email at chidi@merkuriusmind.com and we will be more than happy to connect with you. I hope this blog added more value to your life, and I also hope the goal of this blog was achieved.

THE GOOD SIDE OF COMPLEXITY

Truthfully speaking most of us shy away from complex situations because we’re disturbed and unsettled with the intricate environment and mental demoralization that it creates. Complexity has its pros and cons, but understanding the difference between positive complexity and negative complexity is the key to outstanding growth and organizational and social development.

Positive complexity comes with positive stress and ample curiosity. Negative complexity comes with negative stress and unsupported compromise of personal values and organizational cultures. Understanding the difference between this two will save you mental drainage and demoralization.

Shying away from complexity doesn’t make you smart, rather understanding the thin line between the two types of complexity will set you apart. I would also love to mention that through positive complexity is absolute clarity gained. Clarity is power they say, but not an excuse to only attempt the familiar and live a mundane life.

It’s complex for babies to learn how to walk and talk, because both tasks requires the activities of the brain, muscles, environmental factors and external restraint or moderation. But am guessing with all these complexities, no one will wish for their baby not to walk or talk, because we consider it as part of their development and growth. Why then do we limit our own growth and development as adults by disengaging in complex situations. It’s stressful for a baby to learn how to walk and talk, but those are positive stress, and positive stress leads to growth and development.

The question is; what has shying away from complexity cost us? How many doors have we unintentionally shut simply because we disengaged from a complex situation without proper evaluation and understanding. Well, I can tell you my friend, it has cost me a lot. Several years ago, before I started creating contents, and before I wrote my first book, I used to withdraw myself from situations that seemed complex. I used to overthink it, and then give myself a million and one reason why I can’t do it, why I’m not meant for this, but in reality, I was just escaping the complexity and the work that is required. Thank God that I had many mentors and friends who pushed and encouraged me. Even with all my personal growth journey, I still needed that change of mentality on how to perceive and approach complex situations. I’m not there yet, but proud of the man I’m becoming.

My goal today with this blog is to maybe give you a little push, and maybe a change in mentality on how you see and perceive complexity, and I hope I achieved that. I can confidently and courageously tell you today that there’s a good side of complexity, but you can never find it if you keep shying away from it. Challenge yourself today, bring your total intellectual substance and passion into complex situations and you will be amazed what you will discover about yourself and the power that you possess.

Thank you again friends for your time, I appreciate and love you guys. Keep living strong and with passion.

THE JOURNEY THAT NEVER ENDS

PERFECTION IS NEVER THE GOAL, PROGRESS IS. And progress has no finish line, but perfection does. Perfection is associated with a fixed mindset, while progress is associated with growth mindset. Knowing is the obsess language of those that seek perfection, learning is the obsess language of those that seek progress.

YOU ARE UNLIMITED

The biological nature of man makes him inquisitive, but not so very receptive to new information, findings and atmosphere. Increasingly daily, man search for meaning, but because man is unlimited, the search for meaning opens new dimensions of self that has never been experienced or witnessed before and sometimes could be scary. But am here to let you know that it’s actually okay to feel like you don’t recognize yourself sometimes in certain stages of your life. it’s okay to feel unfamiliar in the familiar. You are unlimited, and the quest to discover your unlimited potentials is a journey that never ends.

YOUR UNIQUE PATH

The texture and the fabric of your identity is designed specially for you, so don’t expect everyone else to applause your texture, they won’t, because they may not understand it. When you give up on your journey simply because you feel you are not been understood, you didn’t only disappoint God, but your identity and nature.

I once heard someone define potential as our unique path to growth, and that got me thinking real hard. Growth is an acceptable and familiar word for everyone, but the journey to growth differs for each individual. Although growth as a word is familiar, your path to it can be unfamiliar. This is why I said earlier it’s okay to feel unfamiliar in the familiar. Just remember these words —-> YOUR JOURNEY, YOUR PATH, YOUR CRAFTSMANSHIP. Personalize it and say it till it sinks in.

You might be troubled by the pace at which you are moving, but ask yourself who judges your pace, what factors influences your judgement. Putting all these into consideration is very important before you get troubled by it. Here’s one advice I always give people; ” You may not be able to do all you find out, but find out all you can do and start doing it” The pace may not be as you want, but as long as you reach deep down in yourself and draw out your energy and passion and attach it to all you do, you will be fulfilled.

YOU ARE ENOUGH

As I end this week’s blog, I want you to always remember this; the reason it’s called a journey is because you can’t predict all that will happen along the way, you can prepare for it, but certainly can’t predict it. And it’s part of that preparation that I offer this little piece to you and I hope it helps you in any petite way. Growth in every dimensions of life is a journey that never ends. So stop aiming for a destination, aim for progress, but remember; It’s your journey, your path, your craftsmanship. YOU GOT TO OWN IT!

Thank you again for your time, and I hope this blog serves you in any way, please leave us a comment. Let us know your thoughts and what interests you. Have a wonderful Labor Day Holiday…

THE IMMEDIATE UNSEEN ENEMY

Growing up I was taught that our greatest enemy lives on the outside, our focus and energy was so much directed toward the outside world that we fail to see the immediate enemy within. We didn’t understand the fact that we are our greatest threat, as much as our greatest asset. We ignorantly adopt ideologies and develop beliefs that empower the negativity in us thereby making us threats to our own existence and success in life.

The tale of the two wolves living inside us is a popular story, but allow me to revisit it for the purpose of this subject.

An old man was with his grandson, and they were having a conversation; “My son, there is an endless battle that goes on inside all of us. It is between two wolves. One wolf is bad — he is anger, envy, regrets, resentment, guilt, arrogance, greed, lies, fear, ego, and limiting beliefs. The other wolf is good — he is happiness, kindness, joy, peace, love, hope, humility, empathy, truth, generosity, serenity, faith, positive energy, compassion and empowering beliefs.”

The inquisitive grandson thought about it and then asked his grandfather, “Since it’s an endless battle between these two wolves, which wolf do you think will win?”

“The old man answered, “The one you feed”..

I will love to point out that feeding of the bad wolf is somewhat automatic, you don’t have to put too much effort to feed it. Feeding the good wolf on the other hand has to be done intentionally and requires effort. Why the enemy within (you can also call it the bad wolf) is not always seen is because we focus so much on what happen to us than what happen in us. Focusing on what happens in us is a task that requires more consciousness and intentionality. Personal growth and development is really a great way to be more aware of what happens in us rather than to us.

It’s one thing to fight an enemy you can see and another to fight one you can not see. The Unseen enemy (bad wolf) is already inside of us waiting to be fed, for it to grow stronger and more destructive. And most times we feed it unknowingly.

I just have a question for us, wouldn’t it be worth it to uncover the unseen enemy, fight it and possibly defeat it, so we can live our best life. But you have to understand that the goal is not to first completely defeat it, the goal is to uncover it first, be aware of what makes it stronger or weaker and then starve it. You might have unintentionally and ignorantly be feeding the unseen enemy and empowering it in the past, but it’s not too late to learn how to starve it.

If you will recall, earlier on I said; ” We are our greatest asset, as well as our greatest threat. So as much as we have this immediate unseen enemy, we still have this immediate powerful unseen friend which is our mindset. What and how we feed it determines how strong it becomes. But it has to be fed intentionally, I can’t emphasize on this enough. The enemy within can be fed unintentionally and automatically, but the friend within can’t.

As I round up this blog, the purpose is to uncover and expose the unseen enemy within, not necessarily on how to defeat it. I hope this blog will help gear your focus toward that direction and bring this enemy to light, so it won’t be hidden anymore. Awareness of this immediate unseen enemy is as important as learning the strategies on how to defeat it.

Thank you again for this opportunity to be able to communicate this with you and thank you for your time. Please stay tuned and subscribe if you haven’t already. Thank you!
