The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

📢 New #Podcast!! Raising children can be quite an emotive subject as it is a heart issue. Most parents are passionate about what methods to use to raise children. Even if they are wrong in whatever method they use, they are wrong sincerely. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! A choice has been made as you might very well be aware of if you have been following the series. I would rather a streetsmart child than a booksmart child, that is if I am forced to select one of the two. Here are my reasons. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Potential is such an important ingredient in life...and also one of the most neglected things. That's why, according to Myles Munroe, the richest place is the graveyard. So how do we know which system deploys potential more? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Today, in most countries, what is most touted is book smartness. Increasingly though, we are seeing how one-winged it has been and how much we cannot fully rely on it. Today, street smartness is becoming a universal language. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Knowing what I now know, if I am given a chance to choose between being street smart and being book smart, I would easily choose to be streetsmart. To be book smart, which is generally touted, one will take at least a decade and a half. Streetsmart? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! 1578. What's Being Street Smart Vs Being Book Smart? #Purpose We need to do this. We need to find out what it means to be street smart. Does it mean that one is totally un-book smart? And if one is book smart, does it mean that they are totally un-street smart? Important questions to ponder.

📢 New #Podcast!! This is an important question in the present world we live in. I even can project that it will be one of the most important questions to answer in the interim and in the medium term. Book smart of street smart?

📢 New #Podcast!!1576. Raising Street-smart Children This presupposes that the selection between street smart and book smart has already been made. Or has it? Anyway, we have no problem raising book smart children we do that all day long for decades now. How about Street smart children?

📢 New #Podcast!! You will know one when you see them. It will not even be theory. You will automatically feel the presence, impact and aura of a purpose-driven leader. The flip side of the coin is also true...but the saddest part is that most of what we see as leaders, are in the middle. Not hot, not cold. Sad.

📢 New #Podcast!! I will say it again. Leadership has been so much corrupted that we need to talk about purpose as a key ingredient of leadership. Honestly, the two are inseparable. They shouldn't even be synonyms. One should simply infer the other. Here is how to do it.

📢 New #Podcast!! How can you identify purpose-driven leadership? All around us, we have what we call 'leaders'. Probably we also are 'leaders' in our own rights. However, is our leadership purpose-driven? Should we even separate the two. Shouldn't it be implied?

📢 New #Podcast!! As already stated, we have more impostors the world over than we have leaders. One of the defining things about impostors is that they are selfish, self-centered and have self-preservation written all over them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! You will easily see a purpose driven leader as opposed to an impostor. There are several markers for this, but one of the most powerful ones is how a real leader handles potential around her. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Leadership is an interesting subject. Whereas it is supposed to bey synonymous with purpose and service, we have made it a title thing, a position thing. We have more impostors than we have leaders. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We give them flowers and break records every time we celebrate Mothers' Day. Why? There is a great leadership lesson that we can learn from them. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! It sounds so nice when we have conferences and throw around the key word, "servant leadership". At times we even introduce ourselves, "I am a servant leader." A lot of theory on the subject. If it really was in practice, we would be having a revival. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Do you want a career in leadership? Let me give you some advice. Look elsewhere. If you are going to leadership because it is your career, you, in my opinion have already failed at it. Here is why.

📢 New #Podcast!! Leadership and purpose are intertwined. We should never even separate the two. However, because of the brand of leadership that humanity has generated, there exists a chasm between the two. It is kind of like separating the body from the spirit...and using the body mechanically. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! John C Maxwell said that "Everything rises and falls on leadership." When you think it through, you realize that this is one of the most profound statements ever made. You know why? Because leadership is simply purpose deployed. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Purpose ownership is a process. One can easily get discouraged when they go through this five points and feel like nothing is going on. These are simply guidelines that should actually become milestones in our purpose journey. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! One thing that can show part of our success and significance in life is the level of ownership we have with our purpose pursuit. If we own our purpose, we shall see something called Dominion in our lives. Look at people that you think have owned their purpose, and tell me if they lack dominion. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Man is not like other species, obviously. Our difference is in our purpose and the intention over our lives. We are supposed to "Master" things. Hopefully, what we are mastering is what we have a calling in, and we are passionate about. It's about authority. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We shall be known by our fruits. The most obvious way to know that my purpose is owned by me is to look at what I am doing in serving others with it. I cannot proclaim it and when it comes to action, I am doing something totally different. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We know people of purpose by what they do. In fact, we are told that we will know people by their fruit, and not by their words. Purpose ownership is not something that you talk about, it is rather something that other people talk about you. Here is how you can know you own it.

📢 New #Podcast!! This is controversial, I know. When we are talking about purpose, I do believe that you cannot do all things, unless you are God. You and I are only human, and we are designed in such a way that we can do specific things...and release other things to other people who can do them well. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! When your name is mentioned, what do people have their minds focus on? Ideally, it should be what you are about...what you are purposeful or passionate about. That is one sign that you have owned your purpose. But when people can't relate to anything you do other than put food on the table....

📢 New #Podcast!! We have one major problem in life. If you ask quite a number of people this question: What are you about? You will seldom get an answer that connects to their purpose or their passion. That's why it is important for us to start talking about purpose ownership. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! The anatomy of giving up, if well dissected will reveal that we rely so much on our physical senses. I am talking about giving up too early or even after the first attempt. We give up because our natural senses have not seen any value from our actions. Too early. There is something happening that you can't see. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We give up way too easily because seemingly, there is nothing of value that is happening in response to our inspired actions. What we do not know is that the increase that is taking place is unseen to our five senses. No inspired action goes to waste. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Obviously, only introverts do not like to be seen. But even then, an introvert doesn't really like to be obscure. However, obscurity can be one of the major blessings that we can have in life. A lot goes on undetected. A lot of good things. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! In physics, we learn that for every action, there is an equal but opposite reaction. There is no doubt about that. However, what we need to realize is that for every action, there is unseen increase and benefits even if the reaction in the physical that we receive is negative. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! 1551. Why We Need To Have Faith In the Unseen Benefits of Our Actions #Faith #Motivation Faith, we are told, is the substance of things not seen, the evidence of things not seen. In other words, there are unseen things that are actually affecting us. We need to trust that this is happening, especially in the contexts involving us taking action towards our goals. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We err when we think that the only real world is the visible world. Even in our empirical and tangible world, there are very powerful things that are there that are unseen. At times, most of what we see was actually a product of the invisible world. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! If you look carefully across the board on why people give up, you will realize that for the most part, it is lack of information that favors them. They start something and do not see any changes and so they give up. There is need to be aware that something is happening even when we do not see. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Every time we attempt something new or we seek to grow, we invariably will encounter some form of pain. It is, at times, the price we have to pay for our success. Pain in this context is simply anything that interrupts your comfort zone and status quo. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We interact with this world largely through our five senses. Therefore, we want to see growth, progress and direction in a measurable way. The question is: Must we do that? Should we only do that which is tangible value? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Pain is something naturally unwanted. Nobody in their sane state would want to gravitate towards it. However, in an uncanny way, pain is actually connected to our weaknesses. The more pain we feel (please take this in context), the more weak we might be. How do we handle this?

📢 New #Podcast!! Life is full of trade offs. We can choose something now at the expense of another later, or vice versa. Unfortunately, we are more predisposed to choose pleasure now and suffer pain later...which can be irredeemable...here is what we ought to do.

📢 New #Podcast!! One of the greatest things that we grapple with is our minds. Coming out of a status quo is no mean feat. it can be really painful to want to grow and yet your mind is convinced that there is an impossibility with it. How do we handle this?

📢 New #Podcast!! It is a paradoxical rule of thumb in development: Pressure equals pleasure. If we really want to grow, we need to embrace some aspects of pain. The same is true with success. It is not arbitrary. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Growth and success are in the equation of pain...and I know that sounds strange. Other names can be used instead of pain. Names such us pressure, work, patience, pushing, hustling, and so on. But really, what is the definition of pain in this context? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! We are generally predisposed to want comfort and coziness. These, interestingly, are brought about by exertion and by pain. So every time we set off to start a new direction in life, we might feel pain. But is it really pain we are feeling? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! So, there are legitimate reasons why we should blame the education systems, but I think we also need to look at the flip side of it. The system is not living in a silo, it is part of the society. Here are four reasons why we should re-think our blame.

📢 New #Podcast!! Expectations always rule our outcomes. We have placed a lot of expectations on the education systems over the years while changing little of its form. At times, we need to be aware that our expectations, and not the system are the ones that are off. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Parents have a lot of faith in the education systems of the day. Even thought hat is changing fast, we still have some who believe it its power. On the other hand, a lot of us have risen up to criticize it. Here is why we should rethink that.

📢 New #Podcast!! I used to see young men and women pointing at Zuckerberg, Jobs and Gates as their example for not continuing with school. They forget that these luminaries would never, repeat, NEVER be where they are and achieve what they achieved WITHOUT the education system of the day. That's another strong reason why we should stop blaming the education systems. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! It is so common and easy these days to blame the education systems of the world. Over and over again complaints have come from all over the place about it. However, I am here to challenge us a little bit. What is so wrong about the system and is so right about our culture and expectations? Sounds complex, but listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! Over the years and especially in the recent past, people have been speaking ill of the education systems. Coaches and speakers have been especially known for bashing the system. Policy makers and experts too have spoken up about it, not to mention HR practitioners. Should we bash it? I start speaking about why we shouldn't in this series. Stay tuned.

📢 New #Podcast!! As has been discussed over and over in the past several episodes, a regression is part and parcel of our lives. We might not fully avoid setbacks, failure, crisis and slumps. When they do happen, here are some of the four things that we can do to get out better. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast!! There is an interesting cord that connects us to being alive. It is what we do daily to maintain a semblance of sanity. When we go through a setback and when we regress, it will be best if we fight tooth and nail to keep things intact. Listen to this.
