The Hero’s Voice The power to change is within. You can activate it if you believe and act upon it. How is your inner-dialogue like? What do you tell ‘you’ about yourself? Do you think about what you think about? What are you declaring and decreeing into your life daily? Are your words in sync with your heart [Mind]? Declare that which is to be… The creed by Anthony Robbins below is very empowering and you can practice it daily. NOW I AM THE VOICE Which speaks only empowering truths to myself I WILL LEAD, NOT FOLLOW I will lead my life down paths of my choosing Not follow random paths which I encounter I WILL BELIEVE, NOT DOUBT I will believe in my worth, abilities, strengths, and my capacity to grow and learn Not doubt these things I WILL CREATE, NOT DESTROY I will create a life of significance, abundance, joy, and contribution Not destroy the gifts and opportunities which God has given me I AM A FORCE FOR GOOD I make a positive difference in the lives of others I AM A LEADER I am strong, determined, intelligent, and kind. Others choose to follow me.

It's time to ignore those barking dogs - the naysayers, those distractions, let the dogs bark and keep running. Focus on your dream and goals and work relentlessly towards attaining them. As you journey through the road of life, many things will call for your attention, to distract you but keep your eyes on your prize and follow your heart. Live your dreams. "You will never reach your destination if you stop and throw stones at every dog that barks" ~ Winston Churchill

You Better Run Life is simply a race – the ‘human race’, a personal race. Race to achieve your dreams, goals, race for meaning in life, to leave a mark. 'Let’s face it; as long as you are at this place you must run the race – the human race' Let me share this with you… ‘Every morning in Africa, When the sun rises, a deer awakens, Knowing it has to outrun the fastest lion, or, be hunted to death Every morning in Africa, When the sun rises, a lion awakens, Knowing it has to outrun the slowest deer, or, be starved to death It does not matter whether you are a deer or lion, when the sun rises, better be running at your best. So today, rise up with courage and confidence with zeal and passion and pursue your dreams. Do not die with your music unsung.

You are gifted Don’t play small, don’t belittle yourself. I couldn’t have said it better, in the words of Marianne Williamson from her book “Return To Love” made this unforgettable remarks “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light not our darkness that frightens us. We ask ourselves 'who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous?' Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; its in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others." It’s time to rise up and raise the sleeping giants within, shake the dormant dreams into reality.

In this episode: Guest Author: Pearl Ocloo Dua an author, publisher and print Consultant. She is the CEO of Imagine Communications Ltd... Listen to insights from her book "Hannah's Testimony" Hannah’s Testimony is about the story of Hannah in the Bible. (1Samuel 1:1-28 and 2:1-10.) Hannah, a young lady gets married and is full of expectations. She is blessed to have a loving husband but has a ‘mean’ rival who is tormenting her because she doesn’t have any child to call her own. Her expectation is to marry and have children yet the Bible says that, “she was barren”. She was not happy about the situation and sets out to pray and petition God, who is “the author and finisher of our faith”. We relate Hannah’s challenges to similar situations we face today as women. That is, our expectations as we grow up vis-a-vis the realities of life. I believe most women expect to have a good marriage, children, a problem free life and generally live happily ever after. The reality is that we don’t always get what we want in life and the only constant we have is the love of God. Guest Speaker: Matthew Loh You can speak up, act out, show frustration, show anger without judging yourself because you are only human, every mood will pass. Similarly you can show forgiveness instantly when you understand the implication of holding back or being bitter toward others. You can find peace in the midst of chaos...

Everyone at a point in time has complained about something before...right? Yea I guess. Don’t play the victim game. Anytime we complain we give off our power or responsibility. It indicates that our lives are not really ours but someone’s and that someone is responsible for our lives and what happen to us. Note that whatever you complain of you get more of that – The Law of Attraction at work here. Now take time to monitor yourself, and stop yourself anytime you feel like complaining and whining about situations in life. Instead take charge and ask yourself, what can I do about this? You’ve got the power!

In this fast moving internet age, the virtue patience is almost an unheard of word, everything needs to be fast. Many amateur leaders have cropped up because of lack of preparation; the ability to submit to leadership and learn has been replaced with quick fix strategies. That has raised incompetent leaders, taking poor decision that affects business growth and the community at large. Many of such, jumping into big platforms that they are not prepared for – because of desire for fame and money. Timing is very important in any process. In developing great leaders time is required to learn, unlearn and relearn. A servant must learn how to submit to his leader and patiently learn the skills of the trade needed. However, if one stays too long at the feet of his master without launching out to test the waters on his/her own he will never develop and mature. The real test comes when you are on your own. You put to practice all that you have learned. So today examine yourself, your state and dare to act! You are a great leader. "A follower who stays too long in the comfort shadows of the leader will never grow."

You must have a compelling Vision! For in other to have a dream come true , you must have a dream. You must be able to see your target. What is your dream? Can you see it clearly in your minds-eye? YES!!! Then work with your plan and pursue it. It's possible. The un-lived dreams, the unsung song, the unwritten story... Many go through life living someone's dreams. It's time to let the real you show up and go after your dreams. This is the time to live your dream; sing that song, compose the poem, run the race, do the impossible. "You're in the midst of a war: a battle between the limits of a crowd seeking the surrender of your dreams, and the power of your true vision to create and contribute. It is a fight between those who will tell you what you cannot do, and that part of you that knows - and has always known - that we are more than our environment; and that a dream, backed by an unrelenting will to attain it, is truly a reality with an imminent arrival." ~ Anthony Robbins

What do you choose to be, do and have? Do you settle for less than you can or have. This is it, for only those who dare to be different, ever succeed. Permit no man to talk you out of your dreams. "Choose to be the Uncommon Child, dare to be different and make a difference." This is what Professor Dean Alfange said“I do not choose to be a common man. It is my right to be uncommon — if I can. I seek opportunity — not security. I do not wish to be a kept citizen, humbled and dulled by having the state look after me. I want to take the calculated risk; to dream and to build, to fail and to succeed. I refuse to barter incentive for a dole. I prefer the challenges of life to the guaranteed existence; the thrill of fulfillment to the stale calm of utopia. I will not trade freedom for beneficence nor my dignity for a handout. I will never cower before any master nor bend to any threat. It is my heritage to stand erect, proud and unafraid; to think and act for myself, enjoy the benefit of my creations, and to face the world boldly and say, this I have done.”

Today, I leave you with very important advice on writing and publishing. This if form Madeleine L'Engle she said “I have advice for people who want to write. I don't care whether they're 5 or 500. There are three things that are important: First, if you want to write, you need to keep an honest, unpublishable journal that nobody reads, nobody but you. Where you just put down what you think about life, what you think about things, what you think is fair and what you think is unfair. And second, you need to read. You can't be a writer if you're not a reader. It's the great writers who teach us how to write. The third thing is to write. Just write a little bit every day. Even if it's for only half an hour — write, write, write.” For complete guide to writing, publishing and selling get my book “The Writer’s Dream: How to Write, Publish and Sell Successfully” from Amazon.

One way to enjoy the daily life is to make it a life of discovery: learning something new everyday. Today I want to share with you the declarations by women in business: Follow your passion it knows where you should go. Help people. Explore, play, laugh, enjoy, move more, stress less. Set and celebrate milestones. You have to put something out there to get something back. Everything you want and need is up to you to make happen. Carve a niche, get it out there. Make your own path. Define what success looks like for you then go after it. Do it now. Collect experiences, not things. Ignore doubters, even when they’re in your own head. Embrace online business. Believe in yourself. Simplicity is the key. Nourish your mind and body. Take time out often. Be your own hero. Give yourself permission. Trust your instincts. Take it one step at a time. Leverage everything. Build your days around what is important to you. When you’re doing what you’re passionate about you’re making the world a better place. Never stop learning and experimenting. The less you spend, the more you have. Be thankful. Look at your goals every day. EnjoyLife
