The first thing you want to do to become great is to discover your area of calling.
~ Sunday Adelaja
The secret of all greatness is to discover what you were born to do in life and then do it.
When you want to become great, you have to know what to do, I mean you must first determine what you were born to do.
Convert every passing time into products.
Every second and minute that you are not sleeping should be converted, investing your life and your time into doing that thing that you were born to do.
Greatness is the amount of time you were able to invest into cultivating your ground.
Greatness is the quality of time you are able to invest into your purpose.
Greatness is the quality of time you are able to convert into the production of value.
The quality of time you are able to concentrate and use to produce values is what determines your greatness.
Without work, time cannot be converted and it will waste away.
To be truly great, begin to convert all your passing time into products through hard work.
You too can buy greatness by converting your time into greatness through hard work.
You can never truly become great if you do not discover your purpose in life.
Strive to discover why you exist and then begin to invest your time into your purpose and calling.
Find out your talents and gifting and invest your whole time into perfecting them and becoming the best of yourself.
Everybody potentially can be great. It is not only some few people who could be great.
There is indeed no limitation in life to anybody’s height of greatness. The only limitation that we all have is the limitation that we create for ourselves.
There is no one who was supposed to come to this world and leave empty.
Cut your goals into tiny units of work and think only about one unit at a time.
The reason why most of your goals are probably not achieved is because you do not break down your goals into smaller units of work.
To be effective in fulfilling your goals, you must break them down into little tasks and then spend most of your time working on the task in front of you, instead of being overwhelmed by the enormity of the big goal.
Finish the most important tasks and stop wasting time on irrelevant activities.
To be an effective time user, you must make sure you are spending your time on only what is important.
Determine when you are most effective and energized, then plan your tasks within that time.
Make sure you understand when best you are effective and then schedule your most important tasks within that time of the day.
If you try to do a task at your odd hours, you will waste so much time only to find out that you did a poor job after all.
We live in a world where people are always busy but produce little or no results.
If you desire to be productive with your time, you should select a maximum of two things that are your highest priority, and plan time to work on them.
Turn down things that are in consistence with your priorities.
It is no use setting priorities if you won’t stick to them.
If you really want to be an effective time manager, you will have to learn to say no to other people and do so frequently.
Schedule time for focused effort.
The best way to effectively use time is to schedule it.
Whatever you have chosen to be your priority, set a time to it and be focused on achieving it.
Be always employed to something useful.
Always improve on things you do better and faster.
People who have become great like Benjamin Franklin only became great because they learned how to invest time into improving whatever it is they were called to do..
In order to gain mastery over whatever you have been called to do, you must look for ways of improving how you do them.
Greatness is born out of proper time management.
Most people do not know how to exchange their lives for external treasures.
