You are more than this - Part 3

Today, we shall continue what we started on Wednesday.

I hope you have enjoyed it and learnt a lot as well.

In Disney’s animated classic – The Lion king, Simba who did not know his worth, was living in exile until he was confounded by a vision of his father, King Mufusa. He said to Simba; “Simba, you have forgotten who you are. Look inside yourself. You are more than what you have become”

My friend, congratulations on your new job! It’s exciting that you are going to be paid N2m per annum! But wait a minute, is that your total worth? Don’t you think you could get more than that on the discovery of your actual worth?

You are more than that abusive relationship. No one has the right to treat you so shabbily. Get out of that relationship before you kill yourself!

A wise man once said and I quote: “We don’t need more strength or more ability or greater opportunity. What we need is the strength to use what we already have.

Please note this: You are rich or poor according to what you are.

“It’s not what you pay a man. But what he costs you that counts.”

In his book, “understanding your potential”, Myles Munroe said “All men are sent to the world with limitless credit, but seldom draw to their full extent” he added, “there are many selves within you that lie dormant, untapped and used.”

You need to also know how to increase your current value. The following are ways by which you can increase your value:

1. Acknowledge what is good in you. A lot of us only acknowledge what is good in others while we neglect our strong points. Remember people will always treat you exactly the way you treat yourself.
2. Read: Only readers become leaders.
3. Learn all you can about your chosen field. You need to learn chosen field. You need to learn or you will be lean in your purse.
4. Walk with the wise: your company is the proof of your content. That age – old saying; “Birds of a feather flock together” is true.
5. Keep pushing and praying until something happens. It is only in the place of prayer that you can discover fully who you are and what you are worth.

It is a new day for you. You are more than this.

I wish you a grace filled day!
