What Do You Do For a Living?
Someone I know messaged in from London, about two nights ago upon seeing my new publication~ 'Your Mind : Your Greatest Asset' and he asked " Goke (the suffix of my name 'Olagoke' ) do you write for a living? " and I answered in the affirmative!
Well, I answered yes not because of the monetary value it now holds in returns, but soley because that's one of the things I have been designed or wired for by my Maker-God: which is why I'm living. And when I stop doing it, life automatically comes to a standstill. Just like a fan comes to a stand still when it stops fanning or blowing(which is the purpose for which it was wired and designed by its manufacturer).
And That's what's going to happen to anyone who hasn't discovered his purpose yet, or has discovered it, but has neglected it or refused to pay it detailed attention.
If it were to be for the money aspect, book writing would have been the last option considering the efforts that go into it: the mental labor, the careful selection and collation of words, the joining of pages, the sleepless nights, the editing and re-editing activities, the expensive printing materials to be procured and so on°. But, for me, reading, public speaking, or writing a book is more than for money making. Far from it! It's all about impact! And it brings me fulfillment, joy, confidence, boldness, wealth self-respect, honor and so on. But my business can't offer me all of that!
Hope you can relate.
In my small years of living, I have seen many disheartening situations that need to be addressed, but often time, the one to address them even needs to be addressed.
The so many sickening attitudes of our Nigerian youths today towards the future they are often regarded to be or become is the reason for the publication-my book. The thought-pattern of an average Nigerian youth is debased! And that need to be revived or addressed in time if we must secure that promising future. And that's what inspired the writing of 'Your Mind:Your Greatest Asset' . And if you are reading this, and you are a youth, and you are yet to find the compass of your life, and want to rise above mediocrity, 'Your Mind:Your Greatest Asset' is your opportunity, grab it now and here ...http://bookstomydoor.com/product/your-mind-your-greatest-asset/ and you'll be glad you did!
I am a business man to the core from onset (My friends can testify to that back in the university days). There are a thousand and one thing I can make money from so far it is buying & selling, but that's not what I do to making a living. Buying & Selling is not what I'm living for! But what I do to support the real living.
It's not what I have been designed for. If I stop buying and selling today, my life will still move on. But reverse is going to be the case if I stop reading, writing, & Public Speaking. I hope you can relate.
Writing, reading, & and Public speaking have been the sweetest part of my life so long. It's what I do for a living. It's my life! It's my purpose! And it blesses lives!
If your life is at a stand still, trust me, just one thing can be suspected: You're yet to discover your reason for living (purpose) which is a pointer to your career!
And you shall know the truth, and it shall make you free...
Now, the question is:
What are you living for?
What do you do for a living? What are you designed for?
What are you wired for? What do you have passion for?
Discover it and free yourself now & forever!!!
