The effective use of time is the best-kept secret of those who have created a successful life and continue to experience it every day
~ Mensah Oteh
The value of time lies in its brevity. To use it effectively, you must know its value.
You can do this by disciplining yourself to be selective in what you read, see, hear, say to yourself and the influence of others.
You can leverage time by using it wisely and purposefully.
Your understanding and use of time decides the life you will have in the future.
The effective use of time is the best-kept secret of those who have created a successful life and continue to experience it every day.
The value of something is not only decided by the price you are willing to pay for it. It is also influenced by its rarity.
Circumstances, events or situations do not have inherent meanings except what you give them.
Your perspective determines your experiences, attitude and the quality of your life.
When your focus is too narrow you can miss the big picture.
Change your perspective and you can change your life.
A problem is an opportunity viewed from a positive perspective.
Your perspective changes relative to the frame through which you see things.
The meaning of everything that occurs in your life is decided by the frame you put around it.
You can choose the quality and the type of reality you experience every day through your focus. What you focus on, you feel.
Circumstances, events or situations have no power except that which you give them.
Becoming your best self should be your ultimate goal, and wisdom helps you discover your true self and can guide you towards manifesting your potential.
Invest in yourself, because you will only ever achieve the level of success that matches your level of wisdom.
Investing in your personal development requires time, energy, and money, but the investment provides a great return.
Investments are about the return they provide in increased opportunities, prosperity, health, wealth, happiness, joy, and success.
Wisdom is made complete with knowledge, understanding and good judgement.
You have the paintbrush in your hand, you can make the picture of your life brighter and bigger or duller and darker, it’s up to you.
Your mind is your most important asset because it creates everything you have in life.
Buy wisdom no matter the price.
What is your life and future worth? Ask yourself this question daily and your life will be enriched beyond measure.
There is a cause/effect relationship between your investment in yourself and the future you have.
For long-term success, invest 5-10% of your time each day and 5-10% of your income each month in increasing your wisdom.
Like soil, the quality of your mind decides the quality and quantity of ideas your mind can produce.
Review how you spend your money and time across all areas of your life, and judge for yourself whether your investment in your mind is right for the future you want.
Invest in books that will help you become the person you were born to be and do what you should do.
Wisdom isn’t expensive, but ignorance is.
Wisdom comes at a price. But the price you have to pay shouldn’t guide your decision to invest – the expected return should.
To gain wisdom you must be willing to invest time, energy, and money in your personal development.
Feed your mind with thoughts that inspire, motivate, encourage, empower, educate and instruct you by deliberately choosing the information you allow into your world through sight, sound and people.
Positive thoughts are the birthing ground for making your dreams, goals, and desires come true.
Change in thinking + shift in perspective = change in your life
Everything starts as a thought. Whether you feel happy or sad, calm or anxious, content or unfulfilled is a function of your thoughts.
You can’t always control your external environment, but you can manage your micro environment by intentionally choosing what you allow to influence you – by sight, sound, and presence.
Make the tough choice, decide you will not be a garbage ground for other people’s trash. Protect your mind.
You don’t have to allow the drama and events of the economy, others people’s lives, and external circumstances to limit your potential and rob you of the life you deserve.
