Whether we like it or not, consciously or unconsciously,
we are growing everyday; and I don’t mean just physically,
but also mentally. That is our body, mind and spirit. In fact, we
are growing more mentally than physically . . . Just imagine the
medical research that claims human beings may have up to 60,000
thoughts a day!
The challenge, though, is that since people can only see how we
look physically, we often spend so much time thinking and worrying
about how to maintain our physique that we don’t do enough
to enrich our minds and souls. We spend more time on how not to
look like a failure and how to impress others that we are often
oblivious to What Matters Most. This is why we have declared
2008 the Year of Passionate Growth!
Passionate Growth means that you have identified the areas that
you need to grow in, written them down, and developed plans to Make
Things Happen. It means that you think, talk and practice the
associated goals and objectives passionately. It means that your
close friends and families are aware of your plans and determination
to make these Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Timely
(S.M.A.R.T.) changes in your life. It means that you will be purchasing
books and attending seminars
that would only help you gain more knowledge and encouragement relating
to your goals and objectives. Passionate Growth means that you have
identified a Life Coach or Business
Coach to HELP you better identify the GROWTH OPPORTUNITIES in
your Life and Business, provide you with the consistent ENCOURAGEMENT
to maintain a FORWARD momentum, and hold you ACCOUNTABLE to ensure
SUCCESSFUL completion.
If you are yet to identify and write down your 2008 goals and objectives,
give it some serious thought, for in the words of Tracy Brinkmann,
“You must have an aim; a vision; a goal. The person
sailing through life with no destination or ‘port-of- call’,
every wind is the wrong wind”. For your convenience
and personal accountability, we are offering you a free Goals
and Objectives Template just by clicking here.
Down it, complete it and post it on the wall in your bedroom where
you will see it everyday, for those who write down their goals and
objectives are half way to completion. This I know from
my experience as a Life Coach
and Business Coach, who work
with numerous people all over the world in their effort to attain
success in different areas of their lives and businesses.
With a passion to move myself, family and business
to the next level of greatness and contentment like never before,
I have not only identified the growth opportunities in these areas,
but also documented them on the Template
of Goals and Objectives, and engaged specific family members
and friends to consistently encouragement me to maintain a forward
momentum, and hold me accountable to ensure successful completion.
I have identified and even registered for the enriching
seminars that I will be attending this year, planned the seminars
and workshops that I will be facilitating for those of you that
are eager for Passionate Growth, and purchased tens of books that
I will be consuming throughout 2008. And most importantly, I have
committed my plans to God and will pray about them continually;
for in the words of King Solomon, “Commit to the LORD
whatever you do, and your plans will succeed.”
In January 2007, we published an article titled, "The
5 Steps of Making Things Happen - why some people accomplish
way much more than others", which, according to the numerous
feedbacks that
we received from readers worldwide, helped and continues to help
people to realize their goals, dreams and desires. In the words
of one of our subscribers,
"This is one of the best documents on the subject of goals that
I have read in a long time. I like your simple, logical flow but
packed with solid practical advice. This could not have been covered
any better. I am keeping this one for a long time and sending to
some friends who will totally enjoy and appreciate this."
If you aspire to be even greater this New Year 2008, we recommend
it again, whether you initially read it or not. Besides, we updated
it with more thought-provoking exhortations. For the first
step to greatness is a remarkably strong desire to know; then, the
courage to act; time to reflect; and determination to consistently
match forward no matter what. This is how great things were made
to happen, how many people continue to accomplish way much more
than others. To read this article, click

Life Lessons For
February!
In February, we will be releasing another exhorting
article, which will help you to better understand the common things
that deter people from achieving their goals; things that, as a
Life Coach and Business
Coach, we have successfully helped our clients to conquer in
their characters and routines. As you get exhorted and inspired
by ‘Making Things Happen’,
start thinking of those things that may easily engulf and entrap
you in your pursuit of fulfillment; those things that may easily
erode your desire for greater accomplishments; those detrimental
flaws in your character and daily routine that may slow you down
while a New Year and a few other determined people pass you by.
These are what we will be helping you to conquer in our exhorting
article next month.

Quote of Encouragement
Despite the ugliness of the world, we are BEAUTIFUL within. Despite the weakness
of the body, we are POWERFUL within. (Alex Nosa Ihama)
The website is so edifying and empowering. It cuts across to meet the
social, emotional, financial, relationship, physical and spiritual needs
of everyone. I am so blessed and encouraged by the words on it. The World
needs more of you with such excellent service provision.
Keep up the good work; your labour of love is not in vain.
As a young
man, Al was a skilled artist, a potter. He had a wife and two fine sons.
One night, his oldest son developed a severe stomach ache. Thinking it was
only some common intestinal disorder, neither Al nor his wife took the condition
seriously
