The True Measure of Success

Some people have the notion that they are not successful because they don't have a car, money or a degree and other things in life. If you are in this group mentioned, please go beyond yourself and touch someone's life positively then, your service and love will bring you true success and fulfillment. Success is truly measured according to the number of lives you have impacted. The true measure of success is not the amount of material possessions one has but the way one live his or her life and the impact it has on others. Success can truly be measured in relation to self-development, family-bond, friends and relationships, contribution to humanity's betterment, influence and goals actualized. Many people only focus on material possession when measuring or defining success; that is wrong. Few people know the true meaning and measure of success. Being wealthy or famous is not really being a success because we know many famous celebrities that have committed suicide or whose lives are not worthy of emulation. True success empowers others to achieve success. Success is and should be measured in something worthwhile than money - lasting legacy. Success is the positive sum of your daily life. Mr. T. Kilos works in a multi-national firm and desires to become the office of the manager of his department. Guess what he did? He began snubbing his colleagues and backbiting. He now used the time he should spend with his family to go out with his Managing Director for the man to like him. His wife and children complained but he gave deaf ear to their complaint saying that they were enemies of progress. As time went by, he began having problems with his colleagues and family. Kilos went on blackmailing his co-workers in other to win the MD to his side. To cut the long story short, after a year Mr. Kilos was promoted to the position of a departmental manager. Unfortunately, he got home that evening and saw his ten year old daughter making love to a guy under the staircase and he was furious. When he entered his sitting room, he saw his only son smoking marijuana. What struck him most was the divorce letter he saw in the bedroom. His wife left him. When he resumed work the next day, he found out that he has lost the friendship and team spirit that existed between him and his colleagues. Many people in the quest to achieve success have hurt their friends and loved ones and when they now got to the top they said it's lonely at the top, not knowing that they didn't do things right. Be careful of the system and strategies you use in attaining your success. Never do things that will cause you bitter experience.

Many men and women, in the quest of acquiring wealth or getting to the top of the ladder in their career have destroyed the happiness of their homes or the good relationships they had with friends. No matter the amount of money that they made in the quest or the position they attained truly, they are not successful because charity begins at home. Try to achieve a balance in all you do in life. Do not sacrifice the joy of your home for upliftment in your career rather, strike a balance and build harmony in your life. The simplest way to explain true success and its measurement is successity. Successity is the state of attainment of positive relationships, good health, eminence, wealth, influence and abundance, and using this attainments to empower people instead of disempowering them. This level of life is more than networking; it is higher life and immortality. The True measure of success is the number of life it enriches. A true success should have succession and you are not successful until your successor succeeds. The next time you measure success put into consideration whether the success empower or disempower people; if it empowers people then, it is true success. © Ifeanyi Enoch Onuoha (Higherlife Coach)

Take Charge of Your Life

People might have been responsible for your unfavorable situations, to enjoy a favorable and blissful life depends on you. Never leave your life to chances but make empowering choices that will disempower the limiting factors around you. You need an intentional and electrifying change to create your desired future. You must pay a price to enjoy a prize. Nothing is free even in Freetown. Love yourself and handle the gears of your life. Do not allow anyone drive your as he/she wishes, you must be on the drivers of your own destiny to achieve your greater future and be a person of influence in this day and age.

Surely, in life as in football, you can't go far unless you know where the goalposts are. To lead and live the life of your dream, you must arise and be in-charge of the authorship of your own destiny. Taking 100% charge of your future requires that you must be responsible for all your actions and reactions. I know you have been through a lot, regardless of how you have been through; you can rise up and take total control of your destiny. No more excuses! Discover the real you and recover all you have lost.

To be the real you, hit the mark and make the grade, you must define and make better your self-concept which is the sum total of your self-image, self-esteem and self-ideal. Some people are the second edition of another person. You can be the best you by loving yourself, finding your God-given purpose and passionately fulfill it. You can't go where you cannot see. Expand your horizon, think big and work hard and surely you will be crowned with super success. You have a life; make a success of it.

A setback is a setup for a greater comeback. What did you learn from your experiences in life? The only way to be a loser in life is by giving up hope. I advice you keep hope alive every time. Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different result is absolute madness. You must think right and do things right to be flushed with success in line with your desires. Knowing what doesn't work, moves you closer to knowing what does work. Its only when you can look failure in the eye, learn from it and rise above it, will you succeed. The popular saying goes that, "life is not a bed of roses." You can make your life a bed of roses by learning from those who went before you. Read books in areas of education, leadership, biography, self help and general to improve yourself.

How to Conduct Yourself Professionally as a Leader

Higherlife Coach

Leadership comes with great responsible. As a leader, misconduct can ruin your reputation. The rulebook of professional code of conduct is ever- expanding but with great leadership qualities you can be a person of influence. Leaders are people of exceptional character who are able to find the path and lead others through it. Vision, teamwork, empowerment and trust are the hallmarks of a true leader. Whether we are following or leading, we are all leaders and should conduct ourselves properly in other to be good ambassadors of our people.  One who leads must develop vitality, aliveness and a deep feeling of shared value among his people. You must consciously lead if you want your team to move from good to great.

Leadership can be defined as the ability and capability of an individual to influence, inspire and encourage others to contribute their best toward the betterment and success of the group. A person who can bring about change, therefore, is one who has the potentiality to be a leader. One quality does not fit all for leaders. Leaders are different as the organizations they lead. What and who they are in relation to the set they lead determines their ability to lead and the willingness of the people to follow.

No matter the kind of group different leaders lead, generally, some qualities must be possessed by a leader for him to conduct himself professionally and lead with a positive difference.

*Belief: A leader must believe in his ability to lead the people rightly. Belief strengthens your power of achievement. If you do not belief in yourself and abilities, nobody will believe you. 

 *Self-awareness: Proper knowledge of your skills, passions, strengths and values will help you in your leadership journey. You can’t give what you don’t have, therefore, you must know yourself and lead yourself before you can lead others well.

*Wisdom: This is the principal thing. It will help you to maximize your intelligences and know when to say or do things right. Wisdom gives you hindsight, insight and foresight.

*Effective Communication and Connection: The ability to create common ground matters a lot in leadership. The capability to listen and understand the thoughts, concerns and ideas of your people will help you greatly in leading. This virtue will help you connect well with them and gives you the platform to easily communicate your thoughts clearly to them. A vision is nothing until it can be sold.

Every leader who wants to succeed must be confident, innovative, enthusiastic, inspiring, courageous, motivating and teachable. People only follow those who know where they are going. Improving yourself will help you become a better leader who has the qualities it takes to conducts himself professionally. Great leadership is not developed is not developed in a day, but daily. Conducting yourself professionally helps you sharpen your inter-personal skills.
