Difficulties that sharpen your future, learn from them!
To cut down a tree, you must use a sharp object. You can never use a blunt object to cut any other object, it must be a sharp one. To win any competition, you must go through tremendous practices. To become a great man, you must be prepared to go through hard situations & come out sharpened for greatness. Anything that does not cost you anything is not yours, therefore it's not appreciated. Try to identify those difficult situations, learn from them & build your experience from there. Experience is the best teacher. A great man is that person, who has been sharpened by sharp objects, refined by seething furnace of fire and who has been made pure from impure circumstances, to achieve great success. The hotter the water on the fire, the quicker it cooks. I quote Jim Rohn when he said: "The difficulties you meet will resolve themselves as you advance. Proceed, light will dawn and shine with increasing clearness on your path." Learn to be sensitive to the lessons that your hardship is teaching you.

Value your vision to be evaluated!!!
Many people do say that they have visions but they are not just sure if the vision is really for them or for someone else.
It is obvious that those person are only living in a mirage and not in reality, why?
Because, a vision is like your birthright and it can only be for you or not for you, though you might need or would need other people to actualize the vision with you.
It just has to be specific and realistic, if you truly want to pursue the vision to achieve it.
I often say to people, that you must discover yourself first before you can identify your vision; because your vision must be in-line with your personality. They both go together.
Here are some of my quotes to support this article on Valuable visions:
"If the vision is not yours, then you won't value it. The vision is definitely for someone who will live to die for his dream."~Temitayo Oyediran.
"A man with a vision has more people to carry his vision than he can even envision."~Temitayo Oyediran.
Maybe you've not envisioned your vision yet or it could also be that you've not even identified who you really are.
When these things are in place, you would be amazed at the rate at which people will flock around you to assist in making your dream come to live.
People want to help someone who values what he/she carries.
If you value your vision, it will also be valued by others... It is essentially valuable to value your vision, after it has been envisioned.

Lessons of Observation!!!
There's always a lesson in everything. Observation is better than waiting to be thought, before you understand why things are being done like this or like that. Great people that have achieved success don't wait to be thought before they go and look for the knowledge, wherever it may be found. Every bad or good thing that has happened to you must have thought you atleast a lesson, if you're observant. Take time out to meditate on those things, identify which ones are good & the few ones that are not too good, and then find out from your meditation why they happened the they did. What could you have done instead of the steps taken that led you to the success or failure of the event/situation? By doing this, you would have also acquired more knowledge of identifying your great strengths and how you can measure your success.

MEDITATION AND EXPECTATION...
Meditation is only for those that have anticipation.
If we are not expecting, then there's no need to be reflecting on our steps/actions taken in the past that brought us to where we are today.
Meditation is the act of acknowledging the fact that some steps taken toward things that happened to us in the past have brought us to our present situations and we have to take the right steps that will channel us to a greater future.
It is the same mindset that we have today that will take us to where we will be in the future, so we need to have a positive mindset for a positive future.
If only we can meditate on those times we had to sit for exams many times before we finally passed it and moved to the next class or when Parents would tell us not to do something but we would go ahead to do them until we got to that point when we realized how bad those things were, because we've grown older and now we know better...
It takes only a quiet and less busy mind to critically meditate and be committed to come up with a vigorous action plan on what to implement in making a better future.
Here is a simply quote from myself that explains more about meditation and implementation of action plan:
"We must dedicate to meditate before we communicate, and after then we have to formulate a plan that we must activate; so as to relate the result with what we intend to generate." ~ Temitayo Oyediran
And here is also a similar quote from a Ester Buchholz when she said: "Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers."
It's not good to only focus on the future alone but to also meditate on those good/bad past, learn some vital lessons from there and device a plan that will prevent you from making the same mistakes of the past, while you embrace the skills or talents identified from your meditation on the past.
Meditation is only done by the wise and for the wise.

CRITICS AND SUPPORT, ALL TO YOUR GOOD!!!
Surround yourself with some people who criticize your views and many people who support your views or ideas; at least you are still in the position to actually make the final decision on what actions to take. The critics are not to break you but to make you better and stronger, while the supports are to make you feel special that you're doing something right & you should keep up the good work. If there's no critics, you might not know your weaknesses and that also tells you that they are following what you do but not in total support. Without the support on the other hand, you might be blinded to your strengths but the most important thing is what you do with both the critics and the support that you get from people you surround yourself with. I quote George S. Patton when he said "If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking" and Daniel Priestley also said in his book (Key People Of Influence) KPI that "A Vital person welcome challenging debate & stimulating ideas, to bring out the best in them." Don't just listen to supporting views of others but also evaluate the critics, because there might be a bit of truth in it. By Tee-softCL Oyediran!!!

MADE FOR GREATNESS!!!
If it is not made of wood, it is made of metal or it is made of plastic. If it is not made for her, it is made for him. If it is not made for them, it is made for us. If it is not made for this, then it is sure made for that.
Everything that exists has been created for a reason & purpose, which must be accomplished before the full essence of its creation can be comprehended.
That is the same way I'll like to say that we have all been made for greatness, because we possess that greatness inside of us; only for us to actually build on the foundation that has been set on ground, already.
It is not a hard thing to do, but a slight adjustment with commitment for greatness would be needed by us, so that we can all achieve greatness together.
Remember, to attain greatness; you must visit great places, be close to great people, read great books, speak with boldness, act wisely, walk with consciousness of being great, sow seeds of greatness in the lives of people, be humble to learn from others and be enthusiastic for greatness.
William Shakespeare said in a quote "Be not afraid of greatness: some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them" and William Jennings Bryan also said in the same way and I quote "Destiny is not a matter of chance, but of choice.
It is not something to wish for, but it is a thing to be achieved."
Keep on walking your way to greatness, because you're made for it...

Devotion to Great Thinking!
The thicker a forest, the more quiet it gets & the more strong, dangerous & great animals dwell therein. The deeper a sea, the more quiet it gets & the more the possibility of inhabiting great whales, sharks or big fishes. We do not need the whole lot of people around us before we can think or reflect on things that can lead us through to greatness. We only need some quiet times with effective meditation and rigorous concentration. Ester Buchholz said and I quote her "Others inspire us, information feeds us, practice improves our performance, but we need quiet time to figure things out, to emerge with new discoveries, to unearth original answers." Keep yourself away from noise and spend some quality time to figure out the best of yourself; then devote your mind & your time to achieving that best. By Tee-softCL Oyediran!!!

Identity with Purpose.
The sun, moon & stars in the sky are all meant to give light to the world.
If this is not accomplished, then they will not be seen and their IDENTITY will be missing.
We all need to be identified for something good and of unique purpose.
Unique identity breeds value and branding, which makes it possible for you to influence others in your own cause of visualization.
Alan Rudolph said "Human identity is the most fragile thing that we have and it's often only found in moments of truth" and Kenneth L. Pike said "Identity in the form of continuity of personality is an extremely important characteristic of the individual".
Identify yourself and be a purpose-full man.

VISUALIZE-View to See where it Lies!!!
VISUALIZE- View to See where it Lies.
I see visualization as a means of perceiving something great before it happens.
Vision takes the first part of achieving greatness, with combination of commitment and enthusiasm.
If you have seen it, then you must work through it.
People will only want to run the vision with you, if they can see your passion towards it & how much effort you're putting to embrace others run the cause of the vision with you.
Thomas Edison said in a quote "Vision without execution is hallucination" and Vaclav Havel also said in a quote that "Vision is not enough; but it must be combined with venture. It is not enough to stare up d steps, we must step up d stairs."
Engage yourself in working through what you've visualize and only after then, will others want to follow you; because of your commitment to it.
Eddie Rickenbacker also gave his own formula of success and I quote "I can give you a six-word formula for success: THINK THINGS THROUGH-THEN FOLLOW THROUGH."
Value today, value yourself and value your skills but visualize tomorrow.

Failure brings success, courage is in-between!!!
Stars in the sky struggle to shine when the day is bright but they are very visible when it's dark.
This goes to say that you don't need the most comfortable circumstance/environment to achieve greatness; you only need to be creative & turn every situation you find yourself to your own advantage (i.e. Think out of the box).
Oprah Winfrey said: "Challenges are gifts that force us to search for a new centre of gravity; don't fight them, just find a different way to stand"; Winston Churchill also said: "Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts".
Remember, success is at the opposite end of failure.

Everything is for a reason, get the best of life...
The experience of yesterday, the commitment to value today & the hope for the future are the steps toward greatness.
Do not ignore or disregard them but embrace them, as you climb the ladder of success...
I quote John Scully: "The future belongs to those who see possibilities before they become obvious."
Everything that happen to you is for a reason, depending on your attitude towards it.
