It's the saddest thing to see people self-sabotage. They're close to what they want but they'll push and push with one dysfunctional response after another until that thing becomes exactly like their programming tells them it will be. #MyRISEStory
I have been here. I understand it instinctively and I can spot it easily in people I am working and relating with.

Help is not hard. It is knowing and identifying the signs that’s the harder part.
People are sincere most times, but they're weak. Weakness occurs when your desire doesn't match your capacity. You want something good, but you're wired in such a way that your internal consciousness resists and repels what you want. You could be close, and yet so far.
What you want is not far from you. So why does it take so long to get it? - good job, opportunities, loving & supportive relationships, material and spiritual fulfilment, etc. These are not far. Your beliefs, values, mindset and habits all need adjusting to accommodate them.

Procrastinators like to put the responsibility of NEXT onto someone else. They're always waiting for a response to an email, an answer to a tiny question they asked last week, the arrival of something they ordered, when light comes back or internet stable, when someone arrives...
Every reason not to do the task at hand makes sense to them. They shut their move down and convince themselves that their NEXT depends on what the other person hasn't done. A day passes, then a week and then a year, and maybe two.
They won't acknowledge that they can influence the response and make themselves priority on that other person's list, by communicating their urgency and earnestness properly and by making sure they've made it easier for the other person to respond quickly and easily.

If people are designed to serve,
they'll never be satisfied if they're not serving.

Pastor Poju
Malachi 3:14-18
Hebrews 9:14

It's important to understand what it means to serve. People can be engaged in dead works thinking they're serving God.

Clarity + Simplicity + Alignment = multiplication.

A leader must be able to communicate, or they're not even leaders.
It's important that there's clarity, that every single person has a clear understanding of what the objectives are, and that they're aligned. Then there will be multiplication.

In leadership, the vision has to be made clear.
Vision - what needs to be achieved and how to do it.

There was a time when I concluded that things would never change; that I’d always be poor, relegated, defeated.
This conclusion seemed final, and because I was not going to live with it, I was just waiting until the right time to quietly and comfortably end it all.
It wasn’t even a depressive thought, but just a calm rational acceptance that this was the verdict on things as they related to my life and reality.
My logic was clear, it seemed, and my mind was set.
I carried on normally, and did the things I was supposed to do. But I had this silent smile, almost as if I was out of my own body, looking down on the rest of the world, seeing them hustling like rats and just smirking and going through the motions.

A French national client of mine who has been in Nigeria for decades once said this to me. I was miffed when he said it because it was patronising in the least and offensive in the main. But at least one decade after he said it, I have had to accept that he has a point: Thread.
1. At the time of creation all the nations were gathered before God Almighty to canvass for resources for their nations. But God was not in the business of accepting lobbying or Lobbyist. But one thing was constant in God's apportioning of resources to nations.
2. For every resource available God gave a portion to Nigeria. Thus, he gave the seas to Nigeria as he gave to continent of Europe, Asia and the Americas. He gave arable land to Nigeria, minerals uncountable, oil beyond measure, bitumen, gold, weather variants so we could grow...

SYMPTOMS OF ADULTS FROM DYSFUNCTIONAL FAMILIES
1. Adults from dysfunctional families guess at what normal behavior is.
2. Adults from dysfunctional families have difficulty following a project through from
beginning to end.
3. Adults from dysfunctional families lie when it would be just as easy to tell the truth.
They lie out of self preservation and usually about their feelings.

Why Do People Self Sabotage?

Self Limiting Beliefs is one of the most common reasons

-you have personal beliefs that handicap your capabilities

Its a negative affirmation of what you cant be, and carries a subset of beliefs with it of what you cant do
Examples are endless.

You can apply this to relationships, “Im never going to meet X man or woman”

Finances, “I wish I could be rich, but…”

Opportunities “That could never happen for me”
Self-limiting beliefs arent anything particularly profound

You act in spite of them, until your new action loop becomes a belief loop

When I tell people to unfuck themselves, self-limiting beliefs are what Im usually referencing

I’m probably going to catch a lot of flak for this, but it needs to be done. As I watched the House hearing today, I found myself getting increasingly angry at the way Rod Rosenstein was being treated. That’s right. Angry. And I’m going to explain why.
Increasingly I see on Twitter people who absolutely excoriate anyone who disagrees with them. In the past two days I’ve had to block several people, something I do very rarely. I’ve been accused of having “less than 1/2 a brain” and of being “completely worthless”.
I’ve been been accused of being “worse than libs”. I don’t take these things personally. My skin is far to thick for that. But, I also don’t have to subject myself to rude and insolent people whose only goal is to irritate and rile people up. So, I blocked them.

"Shut the fuck up" is one of the most beautiful, powerful phrases in the English language, still peerless as an insult even compared to any more ornate or crafted barb-- nothing is as good as just telling someone to shut the fuck up. Nothing is as direct or effective
As life has grown more wearisome- and this website has matched that exhaustion tenfold- more and more I just find myself falling back on it, no matter how frequent. Life is too short, things are too terrifying to bother with syntactical variety. Shut the fuck up
At the risk of observing that "we live in a society", It conveys an emotional directness that is frankly lacking in most transactional conversations in our world-- it is, in fact, one of the most likely ways someone will broach the suffocating veneer of politeness or civility
