I sent this on Tuesday to my Telegram Channel.
I think you need it too.
It starts here:
I've been away from here for 2 weeks or less, I think.
It's good to be writing to you again.
Hope you are living a seamless life wherever you are.
Living a seamless life starts with the belief that it is possible.
You need to do away with the mindset of suffering as a lifestyle.
Living a seamless life is not the absence of struggle.
Living a seamless life is having the ability to overcome and thrive amid challenges.
Are you building yourself for the struggles to come? Financially, Academically, Career-wise, Relationship, Power, Character and others.
Today's preparation is the only thing that will guarantee tomorrow's seamless life.
You skip saving, you suffer in times of drought.
You skip building relationships, you suffer on days you need help or ease.
Seamless Life is not the absence of struggles; it's equipping yourself for the time they come.
That's why I write to you daily. That's why I do all that I do. That I can equip myself and you with the help of God.
Ends Here.
I know I haven’t written to you for a while.
I will definitely continue to share my unedited thoughts here as long as I can write and read.
Here I am making amends.
We will commence a new series on POWER.
We recently concluded a series on PURPOSE.
Each series I write about will cover a major pillar/vehicle to a seamless life.
By now you should be sure and convinced that Purpose/Meaning is very important when it comes to living a seamless life.
If you haven’t read any of the letters on purpose. Just scroll through previous letters using the button at the end of this letter. (if you are reading on the web)
This series on POWER is going to be very interesting.
I will try as much as possible to break things down for you. I believe my writing loses its essence if you are unable to grasp the life in it.
Are you ready for this new journey? Yes?
Let’s go then!
This will be brief.
Power is not one size fits all.
Power can be physical, soulish, Spiritual, and others you can think of.
In order to live a seamless life you need power.
Power in all aspects of your Life.
Power can be accessed, it can be given, it can be taken.
I remember the TV Series - House of Cards, Frank Underwood made a statement, he said “If Power and Money were placed in front of some people, most will choose money”
He called them foolish. I won’t agree with him but I know why he made that assertion.
He was a man who rose to become the President of the United States of America from a small town in Gaffney.
Power is important because it gives you access to the best things in life.
It doesn’t just give you access it gives you ease. It also gives you a legacy and a chapter or page in the history books.
Power doesn’t have to be just political. It is just sad that most power rests in that space.
I remember Bill Gates despite being the richest man was dealt a big blow by the people who had power. He was trying to build a Machine that could power cities and countries using nuclear reactors, but the government shut down that project due to a severance in their relationship with China.
I am a fan of documentaries.
I remember watching the documentary about the most wanted man in the whole world.
What made them invisible wasn’t just their money but power.
Their ties with the people around them, in the government and the community.
In this introductory path of this series, I don’t want to go into giving you the Greek word for power.
I don’t want to start sharing quotes or a repository of research.
I want you to simply get the core message that to have a seamless life power is paramount.
It doesn’t have to be in ruling the country or state. It can be in the office space.
Will the boss decide without your input?
Will your team recognize your absence?
Power isn’t leadership.
Power isn’t a negative thing just as money isn’t bad.
We will go into the why, how, and when in the coming series.
Power is access.
Power is relationships.
Power is having a name.
Power is ease.
Power is influence.
You need to start surrounding yourself with powerful people.
You need to start building your power resume by taking up responsibilities not just positions.
You need to understand how to build up your mastermind. A group of loyal followers that will walk with you till the end of the earth.
It all starts with having a vision, that’s why we had to talk about purpose and meaning.
People follow a man or woman with vision and results.
So, if you haven’t read the purpose series. You should.
If you haven’t done the task given. You should.
You need it to advance on this journey.
I will stop here now.
We will continue some other time.
Bye, bye, for now.
Action Steps
Read the Series on Purpose and Meaning.
Perform the task under each letter.
Think about what having power can do in your life and generations to come.
This Week’s Ponder
Here is something you should brood over for the week.
Every time you say yes to something you don’t want to do, this will happen. You will resent those people you said yes to. You will do a bad job. You’ll have less energy for the things you were doing a good job on. You will make less money. And yet another small percentage of your life will be used up, burned up, a smoke signal to the future saying ‘I did it again.’
