The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

🎺New #Podcast! I have caught myself many times opining that not all things we go through are useless. At times when we go through a tough situation, we tend to count ourselves out as if we don't have what it takes. Could it be that at our very place of pain, we could find a respite that qualifies us? Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Awarded CEO of the Year Award, 2021-2022 by the TIG Network Afrika. Innocent Kawooya is a Ugandan FinTech and financial inclusion specialist, computer programmer, Internet entrepreneur, film producer and entertainment executive. He is playing a major role in the digital evolution of Uganda, the region, and the continent at large and is a highly visible advocate for and regularly sought after authority on digital innovation and financial inclusion. I had a conversation with him and had great time learning from him about what makes him tick. Our conversation was mainly about Technology and Innovation, from a man who dared to be the Mayor of Kampala. Listen in and enjoy.

🎺New #Podcast! We, even when we think otherwise, expecially at a moment of crisis, have what it takes to make it in life. Is it interesting that whenever we are in a crisis or in lack, or facing opposition, we tend to have a negative estimation of ourselves? Frankly, I do not need to convince someone who has it all together that they have what it takes...but I am speaking to those thinking otherwise. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! Have you ever come to a point in yoir your life where you believe that you are here for a reason? Provably we all have. For the most part, in quick succession we also are bombarded with the notion that we don't have what it takes. There is a principle in creation that I am sure you are well aware of. If it's not working or the day it stops working, that's the gradual end of the world. We learn therein that you have what it takes. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast You might be doubting big time that you have what it takes to make it in this life. It's a mental game. It's won or lost in the mind. A lot of internal and local view of your tangible life might tell you how much you don't have this or that. A different look at things might instruct you to realise that you have what it takes. Listen to this.

🎺New Podcast When you start talking abou the lives of those who have made it in life in their respective contexts, you will not have enough space to document their stories. I am not talking about people you don't know and far away from you, I am talking of people around you. Frankly, there are guys who might have had it worse compared to you but rose above it. That, in my estimation, is one reason that I believe you have what it takes to make it in life. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! When you listed to an authentic inspirational story there will at times be reference to someone who made it despite the odds they faced. These authentic stories help us to look at ourselves and act. You might be feeling like you do not have what it takes to make it in this life. I have a different opinion. There are people around you probably with worse odds but they made it. You too could. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! When I say that you have what it takes to make it in this life, many people would start thinking about the tangibles. They will think of money, connections, special gifts and talents and so on. The conundrum is when you don't have most or any of these tangibles. That's where I come in and tell you that as long as you have desires, you have what it takes. Listen to this.

🎺 New #Podcast! Today's conversation brings to a close a series of the same on the topic of #Daring. My guest in the episode dared to launch a law firm at the tender age of 26. Today, Alex Matovu is 34 years of age, and a managing partner at an Award-winning law firm in Kampala, Signum Advocates. This law firm has an Africa-wide recognition for its exploits in just a few years. Let's listen in as Alex takes us behind the scenes of his and his friend's dare!

🎺 New #Podcast! This, friends is one of those episodes that I have done and when I listen to it, I feel goosebumps. First off, I ask you to seek anyone in your circles who has given up on life. Share with them this episode and listen to it together. Please. This perhaps is the single most potent reason as to why you have what it takes to make it in this life. You gotta listen to this and then share! Please. Help me speak to those giving up. Even share my contacts.

🎺 New #Podcast! You and I have a reason for our existence. The very apex of our lives is to matter. To contribute. To impact and to cause positive changes. However, at times we go through life and get so discouraged about it, thinking that we don't have what it takes to make it. Here's the first reason I believe we do. Listen to this.

🎺New #Podcast! When you face insurmountable odds, you could easily shift your mental assent to accept a position of failure based on the reality you are experiencing. As such, your psyche could easily conmunicate that you dont have what it takes to make it in this life. That assumption could easily be backed by facts. However, let's consider the truth that you can still make it. Listen to this.

🎺 New #Podcast! Life inevitably gives us curve balls and if we are not careful, we shall find ourselves mentally disqualifying ourselves from many prospects. We face brutal and glaring facts that communicate the improbability of us ever making it in this life. With that feedback, we go around life expecting less of ourselves. I do believe that even then, we still have what it takes to make it in this life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! In this news series on the podcast, I would like us to be motivated and inspired with the message that regardless of the odds we face, we still have what it takes to make it life. The most sinister thing for a human being to face is to be alive but not able to make it in life. Such an existence is abhorred and no human being wants it. I have reason to believe though that you have all it takes to make it in life. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Now that we have ascertained that evolution is part of our daily lives and most especially in our purpose pursuits, we are learning how to position ourselves so that we can get the most out of this evolution. Here is the thing: you've got to participate in your purpose evolution. Here are five things to do in order to get the best out of your purpose evolution.

📢New #Podcast! In this month of August, I have had conversations with several people on the subject of #Daring. The stories shared have been inspiring to say the least. Today's episode is a heart wrenching story of a mother daring to climb "the last mountain" in order to get her daughter, Juru Banks cured of a condition that she's had since birth. No parent can stand seeing their child in pain and do nothing. Chammy Uwera has been trying to get respite for fourteen years now. Listen to this, and as you do, I dare you to help her. You are about to be blessed.

📢 New #Podcast! I caught myself twice as I was recording this episode talking about evolution vs perfection. This was not in the script at all. "Evolution doesn't recognize perfection", I said. Your purpose will evolve at least on the front of clarity. If you wanted to get the best of purpose evolution, the perfection is your worst goal. People seeking perfection seldom ship anything. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Learning is a universal trait of creation. We just have to differentiate it from education. The point is that your purpose is going to evolve as we will. In order to make the most of our purpose evolution, we need to embrace learning. How great would it be that most of the things we are learning are those that help to beef up our purpose? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Purpose will evolve just as the one seeking it will. We are learning that you might not know your purpose on day one of asking, and that's why we need to understand it's evolution. In simple terms, it takes time to know, own and deploy your purpose. As you are involved in the process, there will be a metamophorsis of the clarity of your purpose. You need patience for that. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Someone said that in matters of principle, stand like a rock, but in matters of fashion, swim with the currents. We have already established that your purpose will evolve as you will. The question that we need to answer is: how do we position ourselves to swim with the currents of the evolution of our purpose? The answers begin to trickle in with this episode. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! You will not know your purpose on day one of asking. In fact, your purpose will not be revealed to you, it will, for the most part, be discovered by you. Even then, not all the ducks will be aligned. There will be an evolution of yourself as well as the purpose itself. Listen to this to understand the evolution of your purpose.

📢New #Podcast! In talking about the evolution of purpose, there is 100% certainty that your purpose will evolve even as you will. From the moment you set your heart on the purpose discovery path, that's the moment your real evolution begins. Even as you move on in purpose pursuit, you will realize that what you started with is not what you are passionate with at the moment. It's simple: evolution has happened. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! In this month, conversations were held with people from whom we can learn how to dare. Roosevelt said,"Far much better it is to dare a mighty thing, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the gray twilight that neither knows victory nor defeat" Daniel Choudry is a phenomenal human being who has suffered much and yet is one man that dares. I had an hour long conversation with him and was very inspired. I am so excited to share this conversation with you. You are about to be blessed.

📢 New #Podcast! The truth is that we are all evolving, not like Charles Darwin said, because that will need millions of millions of years which nobody has anyway. However, each day we are different. You will soon discover in your evolution that nothing you go through is useless. That's why it's foolhardy to stop doing things until such a time that your "purpose is clear" that you would start working. Listen to this..

📢 New #Podcast! When I knew that I needed to live a life of purpose, I went all out to know why I was alive. I examined my life and got fed up with the pattern of waking up, eating, working to pay bills, sleep and then pass the baton to my kids to pick up the rut. In my holy discontent, I loathed doing things that lacked meaning and is so doing, set myself up for one of the biggest mistakes I ever made in my purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! 1157. Does Purpose Evolve? #Purpose Have you ever seen something that doesn't have purpose? Can you find a single human being that was created for no purpose at all. I believe there isn't anyone since creation that fits that profile. So, in our purpose pursuits, there are mistakes that we make. The greatest mistake is doing life with total disregard for Purpose. The second mistake is to do nothing until purpose is revealed. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! If growth is our ambition in life, then seeking comfort would be one of the worst mistakes we would make. I am not saying that we should shun comfort and coziness wen it comes our way... Just that Comfort should not be the main agenda of our existence. There are many reasons for this. In this episode, I summarize only three reasons why comfort is our worst goal. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! The paradox of life is that getting what you want at times will happen when you go through what you don't want or like. It is true that there is no growth if there is only comfort. So why do we set goals mostly seeking comfort and coziness. Fun is great as comfort is, but if comfort is the main target in our lives, we end up not growing. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! As much as we all naturally gravitate towards nice things and comfort, we now know that they are detrimental to our lives especially if our ambition is growth. Denzel Washington said emphatically that "ease is a greater threat to progress than hardship". The message in there is important to note especially if your ambition is to pursue your purpose to the hilt. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Trailblazing is going where nobody has and make a dent on the earth. At least that's my definition. Many of our contemporaries are doing amazing things by daring to step out and make a difference. What makes them tick? What's the psychology behind their dare? What can we learn from them? I had a conversation with Diana Ninsiima, the National Director of BNI Uganda Chapter about this. There's quite a bit to learn from her story. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Inherently, we want the ease of life. Whenever we set goals, we seldom set stretching or growth goals. We hide them under the banner of comfort goals. Cars, money, bliss, adventure, experiences and so on are what we create as objects of our goals. Nothing wrong with those. However, if growth is your ambition in life, these kinds of goals are the worst to have. They should instead be byproducts of growth goals. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! Scot M Peck in the classic "The Road Less Travelled" told us something very profound about problems. I have lifted that quote and shared with you in this episode. We are talking about the goals we need to have in our lives Some goals are very soft and uninspiring especially if all they target is comfort. Growth ought to be the object of our pursuits. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! If we are growing, we are always stretching. If we are stretching, we are always uncomfortable. That's the paradox. We all want comfort. When we are comfortable, we are not stretching and hence we are not growing. In this episode, we start going deeper into the subject matter: If growth is your ambition, then comfort is your worst goal. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! We begin a new series with this episode talking about growth. The three topics covered on this channel are #Purpose, #Productivity and #Resilience. These three topics can never be handled without talking about growth. There will always be a trade-off when it comes to intentionally choosing to grow. That's what we shall be covering in this series. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! We have a choice to make in life. It is about living life with abundance and to the fullest. Thi choice is between having fun once in a while (Thank God It's Friday style) and enjoying everyday life. If we led our lives primarily to look for fun, we will move from one place to another and still feel empty. It turns out that as long as fun is the objective of our lives, it remains elusive. Purpose is the answer. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! Work-life balance? You mean work is not life? I saw someone's podcast episode titled, "Just life, no balance"😊 So how do we integrate fun into our lives so that there is no compartmentalization or fun and work? How do we make it seamless so that we don't have Mondays and love Fridays? A study in the US decades back revealed that most heart attacks happen on Monday mornings. What can we learn from this? Listen.

📢 New #Podcast! Roosevelt said, "Far much better it is to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs even though checkered by failure than to take rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much because they live in the great twilight that neither knows victory nor defeat" Joel Jaffar Aita lives the above dictum. In this conversation, he takes us through his mental disposition of daring to build a CAF-recognized stadium as well as that serious bud he made to buy Chelsea Football club before the English government intervention. You want to listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! Is fun something we go to get or a life we live daily? When we talk about having fun, people seldom think of work. Somehow, automatically, the idea of having fun at work and with purpose pursuit seems repulsive! In this episode, we talk more about the subject matter and unveil how possible it is to have fun in our purpose pursuits and even at work. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! A friend of mine worked as missionary in South Sudan. She told me something profound about the people and days. They don't know when Monday is or any other day or the week. She has to ring a bell or remind them that it's a Sunday. We, on the other hand, love Fridays and kind of hate Mondays. When did that begin? We even have a hashtag #TGIF that trends every week. In this episode, let's see a different approach.

📢 New Podcast! Playing ball with your son is fun. Taking your daughter out for a *Daddy-Daughter Dance" is fun. Going to a stadium to cheer and support your favorite team is fun... especially if you win. Going on a date with your spouse and having exclusive time together is fun! But all that is just half the story. In this episode, let's give an all-encompassing definition of fun. It's very instructive and interesting.

📢 New Podcast! In a conversation with some people somewhere about "work-life balance", I asked the question: when did that stuff start? Was it in the garden of Eden at creation? They admitted that it didn't, and somewhere along the path, things changed. The idea of fun in life has been peddled as of life is a whole ardours existence that needs to be spiced up with fun. Therefore, we go all the way to exclude fun from meaningful work. It's wrong. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Fun and purpose. Are they mutually exclusive? Is it possible to have fun while pushing purpose?! What's your definition of fun? There is a school of thought that the people on purpose pursuit are too serious for life and therefore don't have fun. Jesus said, "I have food to eat you know nothing about". He was saying that what they thought about him not having fun and fulfillment from his work was off. Let's learn more here.

📢 New #Podcast! Fun is something that most of us live for. The human has been created to experience the full spectrum and vibrancy of life. Indeed, life ought to be fun! In fact, life without fun is not worth living. So this begs the question: Does purpose eliminate fun out of life? Given that purpose is all about the benefit and transformation of others, does it hinder us from having fun? Let's dive in to this.

📢 New #Podcast! Today's episode brings to a close a series of conversations I have had for the month of July with writers. There has been so much to learn from each of them. Today's guest, Charles Onyango Obbo is a well respected writer and journalist that is seasoned with consistency in writing weekly articles for 29 years without missing a single week. I had a brief conversation with him and I would love to share it with you. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! To be selfless is a desirable thing. However, it is not automatic. There are some things that we ought to do in order to get there and at the end of the day, we can't really graduate from it. This is the last episode in the series Where we have discussed many aspects of Selflessness. Three are five or more ways that we can use to be selfless. Here is the fifth way. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! How do we do life? Do we live for events and ignore the intervals? You have heard about the TGIF craze... thank God it's Friday! It's as if the whole week is a prison devoid of fun which can only be delivered in two fleeting days. So, is purposeful living devoid of fun? Is life structured in such a way that fun is a compartment that's different from purpose? Let's find that out in this episode.

📢New #Podcast! Any time someone is dishonest, you might easily connect it to selfishness. Their self interest is way above others. They want to protect their own skin. On the same token, every time someone is honest, perhaps even to their own detriment, you can easily see selflessness lurking around. To be selfless is to be honest...at the very least. Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! We all know that selflessness is largely an admirable human trait. But as we have already seen, it's not something that is switched on automatically. It takes effort and intention. If we wanted to become selfless, we will have to put ourselves in other people's shoes more often. A life of purpose can easily be obtained by doing this, seeing that purpose, for the most part, is for others. You want to be selfless? Listen to this.

📢 New #Podcast! The default mode for humans, unfortunately, is always on comfort and things that don't require energy, focus and intention. Without these three things, we are our worst enemies. Selflessness is one of those things that need deliberate focus and intentionality about it. In this episode, let's see some of the ideas we can deploy in being intentional about selflessness. Listen to this.

📢New #Podcast! Selflessness is a great trait, no doubt. It's an attractive and desirable character that's ideal for all humans. The interesting thing is that it's not automatic in us, but there are seeds of selflessness in all of us. It grows with practice. This means that without focus, we couldn't expect to be selfless just because we have the potential. That's why we need to know where to start from. Gratitude. Counting our blessings. Listen to this.
