1-muster seed faith.
“if you have faith like a muster seed you shall tell the mountain to move and it will move”- sacred thought
Faith is a state of mind deeper than sectarian attachement, its a transcendent state of mind that empowers you to suceed against all odds, its positive mental attitude(PMA) that nothing can stop, no mountain of stone, no door of steel, no chain can bind nor break nor impede. The man with the right faith overcomes the greatest obstacles while the man with no faith builds an ant hill challenge into a mountain bigger than everest, making it impossible for him to even try.
No external source can build your faith for you, you alone must build your faith to great hight cos you have the power and dominion to tell anything to be and it will be. If the image in you never fails then why would you fail in your effort.
Miracles are performed every day, they are not exception to divine priciples, you can work out your miracle…..yes you can, if you think you can. Your destiny awaits your command. Speak words of positive affirmation to yourself and u will be dazed by the sucess and manifestation that follows.
2- Miracles
the fact of your existence is a miracle too glaring to inspire faith in your ability to achieve the best….if you must be sucexful.
The greatness in you is like a transformer connected to the greater power station(from above), the power station’s responsibility is to send current to you, you alone have the power to reduce the current entering your transformer or boost it to suit your need. When you think negatively you cut all the high tension wire that supplies you light, when you think positively you increase the voltage entering your transformer. In this sense then the achievement of your best is dependent on how strong or active your imagination is.
Everything you see or use was once considered impossible until a fertile mind came and brought it to be, from the house you live in(ancient man lived in caves),the cars you drive(horses and chariot),the book you read(scrolls which was meant for only the rich due to fact that it was expensive), the pen you use, the pencil u use (do u know the eraser was invented about a hundred years after the pencil was in vented)the cloth you wear, the smooth road you use to work or school or for outing, the chalk you teacher used to teach you and many more. The good thing is that every of these started as an imagination in someone’s mind. Not only that it was imagined, it was developed and worked on until it became a reality.
3- bringing the vision closer
On a clean piece of paper,
Write out what you have imagined to achieve in life.
write it as bullet points.
Eg
I will be the best engineer.
I will be the first medical doctor in my compound.
I will redeemed a social condition.
I will have the following characters (fix in the aspired characters)
Napoleon Hill recommends you paste this paper on a side in your room, office or work space where you will see it at least once a day.
Read this vision to yourself a minimum of once daily, you can read it out aloud to yourself. As you do this, you will be conditioning your mind to attune to the frequency of positive thinking or positive mental attitude(PMA)
4-THE SYNEGY OF THE WILL AND THE IMAGINATION
Lets do this little and simple exercise, imagine a wooden board 20ft wide and 3km long, if this board is placed on the ground and you are asked to walk across it, am very sure you will freely walk across, you may even put your hand in your pocket and stroll across. Now imagine if that same board is placed on top of two platform 1000 above the ground and someone asks you to walk across it after giving you assurance that wind will not tumble you,
would you have the mind to cross the board? Lets use another example, can u climb the Etisalat mast you see around your neighborhood ?
If the staircase of a building that is up to 40 floors were place outside and you are asked to climb it, would you ?
Would you enter a car that the drive exceeds 140(yet formula 1 drivers do above that, some for years without any accident) .
For some of us we cannot cross a tiny river even if a ship as big as titanic was sailing us across (their imagination will conjure up a scene where they fall into the river),
for some they will never enter a plane(their imagination sees the plane crashing)
As for me even with my 5yrs in engineering course, you cannot pay me all the money on earth and ask me to climb mtn mast(but i can enter plane o),but the truth is that it is human beings that mounted the mast.
In life a great task we must accomplish is to make our imagination work with our “will”
When you “will” something your imagination can come up with a million scenes that negate your noble “will” or will make you think you cannot achieve your aim.
You want to be educated, your imagination can bring up the idea that you don’t have the money to see yourself through school or that nobody will see you through.
You need to be a doctor, your imagination can tell you that you will never be a good doctor since you don’t read very much, your business may be moving slowly and your imagination will cast an image that shows you that you are finished cos with the rate of growth you will not achieve anything.
Are you willing to allow an uneducated imagination to ruin you ?
Are you willing to educate/6ultivate your imagination to help in the process of achieving your noble goals.
life is a series of challenge but that is not important once you realize that you have the power and dominion to overcome all. If a new born baby cries as its first activity(even we as adults cry only as a result of physical or emotional pain so the new born feels pain, now if a new born should feel pain then…..)
The responsibility trusted on us by life is to triumph…..nothing can be a good reason not to excel in life. No position or circumstance is good enough to prevent growth.
Helen Keller was born blind.
Beethoven went blind.
John Fopps doesn’t use hands(yet is a great motivational speaker).
Julius Ceaser was epileptic yet he was one of the strongest Generals the world knew.
The first corn flakes was done by a farmer who was bedridden from an accident he had.
You have the internet and many more facilities and amenities(which the people of old did not have yet they excelled) so what can stop you……nothing as far as am concerned. Greater is the light energy in you than in the whole world. no force can stop you if you determine to excel. It starts within, conquer yourself, cultivate your imagination and use it to further your chosen carrier.
6-practical.
Create time in your time table to devote to building your dream bit by bit. The mornings is an excellent time to do this as the brain is fresh and focus properly.
“Blessed is the man that meditates on his bed while it is yet early “- sacred thought.
I do mine in the morning though sometimes the night is more suitable for me.
During this imaginative period, spend time to envisage/imagine or visualise your dream as if it is achieved. If you want to work in a rig, imagine yourself on your coverall with your working tools and fixing things.
If you need a car to make your movement easier then see yourself in the kind of car you want, dont bother where the money for these thing will come from…..you already have the dominion so the universe will attract your legitimate desire, the work of the process by which they come to be is none of your business, the situation and events that will bring about your aspired stuff will come……don’t worry.
“ask and it shall be given
Seek and you will find
Knock and it will be opened”
-sacred thought
An important aspect of these session is also noting those ideas or things that make you feel you will not achieve your desired goal. Note these ideas and work on them(that is ignore them and let them know they belong to the old world that has passed away for you to enjoy the new light of day) this is very crucial, you have to work on these ideas cos if they are there, they become potent poisons that can thwart your whole effort.
7- the extent to which you master your destiny and create something out of nothing or allow the energy flowing through you to create a way where there seems to be no way, is a determinant of how great you are in the garden called earth.
Many are called, few are chosen, the responsibility of bringing about the chosen few who write our history is within you. Those chosen where not chosen by any external personality, they chose themselves by working assiduously for the achievement of every set target.
Your destiny is in your hands and no force on earth or in any other place can deny you of your destiny. You poses great wealth of knowledge, understanding and power to bring things to pass because the light of creator pulsates your being.
Chose the way you tread, light and ignorance is before you……chose wisely

Learning from life
I recall an experience I had back in my days as an undergraduate..it happened on a day I went back to school to resume for the semester, after settling into my room and taking my shower, I went to arrange my table and books for subsequent reading and school works. As I was arranging I threw away some papers and tore off part of some on my table. How I tore the paper was to place a ruler on the paper and tear off violently, after I had done that with over 20 papers, my roommate Urch asked me a question that left a mark on my person for long. He called and said
Urch- “Buju do you still tear papers like that”
It was a question and a comment at the same time. To me the question implied
That I was tearing papers the wrong way
That I needed to change my ways
I contemplated this for months cos I was looking for a way what to do, during one of my contemplative times I recalled what a friend Patrick said a few years back even before I entered the university. He said
“Mr stan, you are a gentleman but the way you do something at times is very rough and doing things like that makes one look like a barbarian”
These two comments made me begin to work on myself to be gentler in things. To date I cannot guarantee that I now do things very gently but am trying my best. The benefit of these comments is that most times when I want to do things, I always check myself to see the speed with which am doing it- this has been a potent guide for me for over 13 years now and it has saved me a lot of challenges.
The point is that I listened to criticism from those whose observation of me was accurate and I made effort to change my ways to become better.
Life is a school with unending lessons where most experience we get are perculiar or unique for our growth. Sometimes the reason we may not be achieving what we need is because we have been doing it wrongly. If we get it right, then we will achieve more. There are so many things we need to start doing right, there asre so many mistakes we need to learn from, how we are going to do that,I don’t know but I believe if we travel the desert of introspection we will arrive at good resolution that will guide us into a successful 2015.
For your contemplation, as a guide, ask yourself these questions
What have I been doing wrongly?
What needs to be adjusted in my attitude?
How am I going to implement a better future leaning on the lessons of the past ? |
