The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast!! The road less traveled is invariably the road that will help us to realize who we really are. It's giving birth to self. It is on that road that we get to realize just how much we are called. People think that a calling is a religious thing. it's not necessarily. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is such a thing as coming face to face with who you really are. For the most part, this never happens arbitrarily and that's why many people live their lives without going through a process of self-birthing. Here is one reason we don't do it.

📢 New #Podcast!! We confuse 'Éducation' and academics a lot. What we need to be aware of is that education is all over the place, whether formal or otherwise. Academics are limited. If there was to be the best of education and academics, I believe there is one that we should consider. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is such a thing as giving birth to oneself. It's a personal process that is needed. The thing is that we can go through life for 9 decades without doing this and still be filled with activities to do. Here is how to start breaking that cycle.

📢 New #Podcast!! It is possible to live our lives on autopilot even though we have days that are action-packed to the core. Self-birthing and realizing our calling and what we were meant to do is something we can crowd out of our lives...we do that but we shouldn't. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Whether we like it or not, our lives will always be punctuated by moments and seasons of hardship, crisis, and setbacks. It is in those seasons that we can know what we are made up of. We do not need to wait for them, we can create them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Growth and self-discovery never comes in comfort and ease. Ease is a greater threat to our lives than hardship, so said Denzel Washington. And he was right. The road less traveled is filled with discomfort. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! if we are growing, we are always delving into uncomfortable and uncertain situations. However, our natural and psychological need is certainty, at least one of the six. Juxtaposition. How do we navigate that? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! As humans, we would rather be served than serve, naturally. We would rather be comfortable than not. It only comes naturally to us. In so doing, we do not set our feet on the path of most resistance, and we end up not knowing who we really are. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The road less traveled. It's even a book. I think that each of us has that road. When our feet hit that path, it is a path of self-discovery, growth, and even purpose revelation. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! The number one reason we must deal decisively and militantly against discouragement is that it is not just the only thing that comes. It has a company of other vices trotting right after it. Once the door is open, the rest will follow. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There are not so many things we can do about discouragement, but the very few that we must do are potent enough. At the very least the worst we can do about discouragement is to do absolutely nothing about it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is a lot at stake in our lives. When discouragement is through with us, there will be quite a number of invaluable things that we will lose. That's why we cannot let discouragement have free reign in our lives without as much as having a pushback against it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! What is discouragement really after? I guarantee you that if you took some time to analyze every time you were discouraged, you will notice that almost always, there is just one major thing that you lose with it. That's why we need to be so alert. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! When discouragement comes in as inevitable as it does, there will be things that it will take away from us almost immediately. If we are aware and careful, we will lose quite a bit. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! If left to fester, discouragement can be a killer of many things. That's why it is important to make sure that we handle it as immediately as possible instead of letting it grow. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! I know it sounds uncanny but there is always a silver lining on every dark cloud. Given that we cannot exorcise discouragement from our lives, the best we can do is to learn from it. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! It's like medicine. Back in the day the medicine for Malaria was so bitter, I still shudder with goosebumps even to think about it right now. Nobody wanted it. However, after taking it, we amended. Same thing with discouragement. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We always want high moments in life, naturally. Nobody really looks forward to a low moment of discouragement. However, no matter how much we try, we always at some point get to the lows. How do we use those low moments effectively? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! They say that a freed in need is a friend indeed. The loneliest you can ever be is when you need help but you get deserted. When you are discouraged with life of a season you are going through, the people that surround you are important. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! As late as today, I am operating in a serious bout of discouragement in my personal spiritual life. Things that I had set in motion have been halted by both internal and external factors...and I am just discouraged. Could there be a benefit to it? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We might not run away from it. We might not successfully wish it away. The fact is that as long as we are trying to make things happen, as long as we have wishes, dreams and visions, at some point, we will face discouragement. Anything positive from it? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Obviously, nobody wants to be discouraged. Nobody likes it. We at all costs want to evade it. However, if we look carefully, maybe take a second look at it, discouragement can be something positive, of course depending with the context and approach. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! We all must grapple with that question at one point of our lives or another. At times, we are forced to face that question when we are facing setbacks and mighty crises in our lives. At other times, it is even after a momentary high that just fades and we start wondering if that's all there is to life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! In my life's work, the greatest nemesis that I fight against even at a personal level is the guy called Status Quo. There is no semblance of purpose or passion in status quo. Nothing novel comes out of status quo. It is the same old, same old. If you want purpose, get out of status quo. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! We can debate about origins all day long. At the end of the day, we all agree that we did not make ourselves. Someone somewhere set it all off. The question is, for what purpose? Towards what end are we alive? Is what I am engaged in today a response to why I am here? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! I am not so sure about everyone, but I have a feeling that we all get to that point in our lives when we start asking existential questions. It doesn't matter whether we are prospering or we are struggling, that question about our meaning always comes up. Listen to this.

Life is always asking us questions. We cannot run away from them. However, we can silence that voice, ignore it and just get too busy to confront the questions. But if we dare do lean into the questions, light starts coming in. Listen to this.

In life, one of the deeper questions to ask are existential questions. Perhaps no other creatures in the universe other than mankind are riddled with the question or lack of it's answers. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Raising street smart children is increasingly becoming a necessity. It is not that we are responding to changes, but that it needs to be so from the get go. But anyway, the things we are seeing in the job market and startup world today juxtaposed with our education systems, we have no otherwise but to raise street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! In raising street smart children, we will necessarily need to go outside of the normal and traditional and start building their personal brands. The era of people just studying to be employable is long gone. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Raising street smart children will need us to teach them to have the spirit of an entrepreneur...even though not everyone can become one. However, thinking like one is important. These are the four aspects of this pillar that we must inculcate. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! To raise street smart children is to teach them some aspects of entrepreneurship. Part of this involves being responsible for projects. They ideate and go through a project that they can be proud of by themselves. This should be part of their lives, not just a one off. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is nothing wrong with teaching our children theory...at least for now. I have a feeling that with time, it will be the most useless thing to do, especially with changing technological abilities. One thing we then need to make sure that they are adept at is problem solving. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We have no problem taking the to school to learn theory and become book smart. But we are missing out on teaching them one aspect of life that is absolutely critical in their success, especially in the changed landscape of life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! 1598. Why Entrepreneurship Must Be COMPULSORY in Kindergarten All Through #Purpose #Entrepreneurship And I mean it. The problem with us is that we think all that can be learnt must be theory and must be examinable. We think that learning is about principles and concepts. I believe that we do life daily entrepreneurially...and yet this is the most neglected skill to be imparted in young ones. We instead make Maths and Sciences compulsory and more than half of the population will never use that knowledge in life...listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I know this is controversial. There are some subjects that are made compulsory in school even though not everyone has the intellectual capacity to grasp them fully. This is not true with entrepreneurship. It affects us daily, whether employed or running our own businesses. It needs to be emphasized in raising street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! When I asked a top journalist in the country his opinion on the subject matter, he said that he would rather have both street smart and book smart people around him. Now, we have no problem with churning out book smart people. What we need is to champion street smart ones. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! One of the worst things we can do for our children is to feed them with theories without necessarily showing them how to make connections of things in the world today. A street smart person knows the power of connections. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! This is perhaps one of the greatest pillars of raising a street smart person: teaching them how to make the most of connections in life. There was once a street smart person with no degree that was a campaign manager for a president of the United states. He knew about connections in life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Placing Street Smartness and Book Smartness together, those who would select Book Smartness invariably would think that there is no book reading in street smartness. That philosophy has been propagated for decades on end, but it is wrong. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is something that is totally ignored the world over in raising children through the traditional book smart education system. This is not to say that the education is completely off on it, but the way it is structured, it doesn't revolve around the most important raw materials that humans have. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Their school opened a week earlier than others because they are on a different curriculum. They are also involved in Children's Church which had a performance that needed them to be present for practice...but during the school hours. I sent them to practice. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! To be street smart, we need to understand the importance of people. Not everyone is an extrovert but that doesn't negate this critical pillar in raising street smart children. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! To teach children to be be street smart needs to start by teaching them to be survivors. They need to know things like making it in tough situations, improvisations, mental toughness and so on. Here is now we can help them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We live in a world that needs these three components I talk about on this podcast: Purpose, Productivity, and Resilience. The question is: Where do they get these things from? Is it possible that they can obtain them from being booksmart? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The problem with raising children on theories alone is that at the end of the day, when they need to face the real world, they will be stuck. There is a place for books and being book smart, but that place is becoming smaller and smaller by the day. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Street smart or book smart? Street smart of course. But how exactly do you make it that your children become street smart? Simple. Decide that book smart is not working anymore, at least on its own. What do you do next? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Parents who suffered at times normally make inner vows that their children will never suffer a single day. That is something dangerous. Children need be more street smart today than ever before, and for that to happen, we need to teach them to be survivors. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! I am watching a movie titled "Something the Lord Made." It is about a black man in 1930 during the dark times of racial segregation that managed to become a surgeon without necessarily being "book smart". Unfortunately, that is just one story over many decades. We need a critical mass for this, and I believe it will happen. Parents will need to be on top of this.
