Building Of Self II

By Amira Obinna

Hello friends,
In our last article, we dicussed on Self-building, and now we bring to you guildlines and strategies with which you can use in buiding of self.
Building of self is something that must be done intentionally and possibly accurately, without the absolute influence of external forces. It must be done within the confines of self (YOURSELF)

Have the right mindset: The greatest battle anyone can face in life is the 'battle of the mind'. (Being great begins from the mind) You become absolutely anything you meditate on. If you picture being timid and small in your mind, that’s how you become! So, be mindful of what you take into your mind. Most at times what we hear, watch or see affects how our mind is conditioned. You can therefore never be greater than your mind!

Choose the right relationship: I will start by asking who are your friends? Who are the people around you?
The difference between who you are now and who you will become in ten years time are two things; the friends you keep and the books you read. So, who are your friends and what kind of book do you read?
Be close to people who will add value to your life; spiritually, intellectually, academically, morally and in all facets of life. Be around people with vision, people who have the same goal as you. Never walk with anyone who doesn’t share your passion for the thing you are supposed to be doing. Having the right people is one of the greatest asset anyone can have! Be properly guided in choosing your friends and building the right relationships.

Set goals! Set standards!: So many us have in mind what we want to turn out to be in life, but we can’t be that if we don’t set standards by making our priorities right, following a laid down plan of what we want to achieve in a space of time. The poorest man is not the man without money but the man without goals. He just lives his life anyhow, pending on what life makes out of him not what he makes out of life.  In setting goals, be specific on what you want to achieve within a space of time; develop a written a plan and run with it.

Keep working on yourself: Success is a continuous process. It involves growth and development. Don’t stop developing yourself. Make a commitment to grow daily. Learn to master your time, and utilize it. Take less time to dress, shave, apply make-up, gist and so on. Each minute of your time count and like a currency, when its spent it can’t be retrieved. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine. Study those who have succeeded in the area you want to succeed, and know what to do and what not to do. Keep learning, you don’t know it all. No man is a monopoly of knowledge.

In conclusion, you are more than whom the world says you are, make the above guidelines a part of you and see how better you will become. 'People don’t celebrate emptiness but rather they celebrate fullness.
