The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

🎉 New #Podcast The publishing industry in Africa has come a very long way. There's been a great improvement in the quality of books being published both in terms of content as well as presentation. My guest today shares passionately about the digital future of books in Africa. There is quite a buzz going on with her Startup, a digital platform for African authors and publishers. If you wanted to sell your digital book and receive payment locally, there is a wonderful solution here. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! At the end of the day when the curtain is pulled on our brief existence, what will matter the most? Daily, we spend lots of time chasing one type of temporary treasure or the other. Nothing wrong with that. However, there is enduring treasure that we can have...not by getting, amassing and accumulation, but by giving. This is what selflessness is all about. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Selflessness is such a deep change we can make that will not only liberate us, but also created depth in our spiritual lives. People wrongly think that spiritual depth is about religion and it's gymnastics. They link depth spiritually to observation of religious tenets such as cramming scripture. Spirituality is nothing if it has no impact and if the so called spiritual person is in the prison of selfishness. Listen to this.

🎉 NEW #PODCAST! The human is a spiritual being. It goes without saying. However, we live in a physical world and experience a physical life. At times you hear people talking about depth of spiritual character. When they do, they speak of things dealing with rituals and all. Those are outside actions. They can't make us deep. Our depth spiritually is in our being. It's who we are and we can get there by being selfless. Listen to this.

🎉 NEW #PODCAST! When we regard others more than ourselves so much so that we contribute to them, we have a sense of fulfilment. One of the top six psychological needs for the human is contribution. The thing is that one cannot contribute unless they are selfless. They might do it for a show but true sustainable contribution that has no strings attached stems from being selfless. Listen to this.

🎉 NEW #PODCAST! The word 'prison' when mentioned conjures up images of a facility where many hardened law breakers are forcefully confined. But there are many people out of prison who are imprisoned one way or another. The most sinister prison, perhaps the biggest of all prisons is that of selfishness. It's tenants are found even in church leadership. The antidote is Selflessness. Listen to this.

🎉 NEW #PODCAST! Of all the changes we can make in life, the internal and personal ones are the most potent. Selflessness is one liberating change that we can make that has very many benefits. Apart from giving us fulfillment, selflessness also has other advantages when we practice it. We are the ones who reap the benefits. In this episode, I discuss one more advantage of selflessness. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Writers can do more than just create amazing bodies of work. They can also develop an enterprise through and in writing. My guest today, Beverly Namboozo is a seasoned writer, author editor and founder. She is passionate about the written word just as she is about the spoken word. She's a passionate practitioner in both worlds. Today's conversation helps us to get her brief history, the genesis of her writing career and what are her best practices. It was a wonderful conversation. You wanna listen to this. Click the link below.

🎉 NEW #Podcast The change that's liberating that we need to make in our lives is selflessness. It's possible to live in a free country but still be imprisoned in an invisible but powerful facility of selfishness. The antidote is selflessness. It gives us what everyone in life is looking for, want everyone was created for, and that is fulfillment. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Change at times, coming from a crisis, imposes some things on us that we would have otherwise never dreamed of doing. The change not only forces us to grow, but also forces us to be humble. We are made to see that we had complicated life so much so that the things we thought were important could actually be nothing but experience baggage. That's where simplicity comes in. To make a change for simplicity is very instructive. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The only constant thing in life, we are told, is change. That's why it is Important for us to not wait for change to come, but be intentional in creating some of it in our lives. Change never leaves us the same. It works on different aspects of our being. We can choose to be refined by it. There is one major change we can make thanks will liberate us. I will reveal it after building a foundation here. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Change is such an important and vast subject that it's offered at the highest levels of academia, business world, the world of politics and government as well as in families and individual lives. In this new series, I want us to talk about change in general and the most liberating change we can make in particular that will help us grow and succeed. Your enlightenment on change starts here. Listen in.

🎉 New #Podcast! No man is an island. We need each other in this world in order to grow and succeed. We are the average of all the people that we do life with. Therefore, we need to be intentional about what kind of people we allow in our lives. If there will be growth in our lives, we need to intentionally select different kinds of people we can do life with. This episode covers just six types. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There is a special group of people that just won't allow your potential to be wasted. They will call you out if you choose to sit on your gifts and talents. For us to grow and succeed in life, we need different categories of people that will catalyze our lives differently. Comfort is one thing we seek by default but it should never be at the expense of our potential. These types of people will ensure it. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Whereas we are all creative in our respective niches, writers are one of the most amazing creators you will come across. A lot of things that never would have been have seen the light of the day by the power of the pen. I sought to talk to different people in the field or writing in order to learn what gets them started and what keeps them going. Can people make a living just by writing? My guest today is Oscar Ranzo, the CEO of Oasis Book Project. He is a full time writer whose skill has made him an employer. Let's listen in and learn from him.

🎉 New #Podcast! It's ok to be in the presence of people who make you feel inferior without their knowledge. They are so good and better at what they do that you feel like you are wasting your existence compared to them. People change us, shape us, catalyze us, inspire us and make us better. This is either automatically or through our intentions when we go out of our way to surround ourselves with them. As such, we need people who are better than us. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Deep calls to deep, but depth is relative. We all can't fit into a certain kind of depth. Nevertheless, our lives are impacted one way or another by different types of people. One such a category are the people who draw depth out of us. Being in their presence has an alternating benefit of having a great audience as well as a great deliverer all wrapped up into one. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! As no man is an island, there are certain types of people that directly make us better. Some of these are those filled up with incredulous passion for their life Pursuits. If you look around your life and find that you do not have a direct relationship with at least one of this type, you don't know what you are missing. Our lives are greatly impacted by people of passion. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We learn daily from each other. Let me ask you this: imagine you didn't have anyone in your life to learn from or to get inspiration from...do you think you would be better off today? I don't think so. Humans need each other. There are different types of people that add value in our lives. If we want to be successful and grow, this group is among the best. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Was it Jim Rohn who said that we are the average of the five people we keep company with? Man is a social animal and directly or indirectly, our relationships automatically affect us. This means that we can easily upgrade or degrade our lives by simply choosing the types of people that we want to do life with. People affect our passions, preferences, values and even determine the kinds of breakthroughs we shall have. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There is no denying that man is a social animal. If you removed that aspect from humanity, I think you would have entirely annihilated the human race. Connections are so integral in life that without the direct or indirect value that they add, we would not grow or succeed to the levels intended. That's why we have to be intentional about the kind of relationships we want to form. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Mental Health is no longer a buzzword that is attributed to Europeans and the affluent. Previously when we talked about health and wellness, we seldom addressed amicably matters related to mental illness. Barbara Kalumba is a practitioner in this area, being part of the high leadership at Uganda Counseling Association. This conversation brings to a close the focus of the month on health, Wellness and fitness. I had a conversation with Barbara on this topic and learned quite a bit as far as Mental illness is concerned and why all of us need to take steps to protect our mental health. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! No man is an island. We all need each other. No human being is capable of accomplishing much alone. Whereas there is the recognition of people who went against all the odds thrown at them and still "made" it, technically, they were never self made. The connotation that you did it alone without the help of the system, or the family, or against the standards and cultures of the day such as academia doesn't mean that you are self made. You needed others. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If you removed connections, human networks and relationships from the human race, you will definitely kill that race. It goes without saying. Connections are critical in life. Whether we are seeking to connect intentionally or just going through life, there is no denying that any success we have in life is directly connected to connections. Let examine that theme in this new series.

🎉 New #Podcast! There's the waiting for a crisis to strike before we wake up and become urgent in the issues of life. There is also the getting intentional and being in control of what we do with urgency. To be intentional has some roots to it. They are not so many roots. Just a few but powerful and foundational roots. I discuss just three of the here as we summarize the series. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! That great "P-word' has been responsible for making very many people, organizations and even entire countries to be successful. I kid you not. When Singaporean leaders write a book about moving from third world to first world, you can be dead sure that they will talk about planning. It follows that a plan of any kind has the power to inject urgency in life. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There's no successful person in any niche who lacked urgency. There's not a single person of purpose who lacked urgency either. Urgency is the common denominator here. You can either wait for a crisis to pummel you before you amend your ways and become urgent or you can get intentional about it. One of the most obvious ways to be urgent in life is to be on mission and on purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There are several areas of life that we need urgency in. One of those is about legacy and eternity. If we live well, our legacy goes way over into eternity. However, it is possible for legacy to end with the end of the age. Nevertheless, it is important for us to approach our lives with an injection of urgency in this area. If not, chances are that we won't be as effective as we should. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! She leads by example. She is a success of the product she is championing. She has testimonies of many people that have had their health turn up in a wonderful curve of healing. Women that were over 50 years of age conceived not because it was the focus, but the added benefit of Alternative Medicine. I was so enthralled with the conversation that I had with Christine Anyumel. She's the founder of Healing Naturally Together (HNT), an organization that helps people in more than three continents. As we talk about health, fitness and wellness this month, I saw it fit to open up our understanding to Alternative Medicine. Listen to this wonderful conversation and share with everyone out there!

🎉 New #Podcast! We grow when we dare, when we risk. We might succeed or we might learn what it takes to succeed and why we didn't succeed. To dare and to risk ought to be part and parcel of our lives. Therefore, injection of a bout of urgency in that area of life is important. It will most certainly help us to have more effective and productive lives and pursuits. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Life is for effectiveness. Without that, we get out of it disillusioned and unfulfilled. It turns out that effectiveness in life is contributed to by our wealth, our capacity to have impact, influence and contribution. It therefore follows that without urgency in wealth creation, we might not fulfill our purpose to the full extent of it. We need urgency in wealth creation at individual levels so as we can make it happen. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I can theorize, as usual, that if we are to be fulfilled in life, we have to have matters related to our spiritual lives sorted. Spirit is the core of human life. We get some answers in religion but when we compartmentalize life that way, we miss it. In pursuit of urgency, we need to inject some of it on our spiritual arena. This concerns the direction we are taking, our purpose and what matters to us. When we are not urgent spiritually, the end result is lack of fulfillment. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The things we do for love and relationships are crazy at times, especially when the feelings are high. When we come down from the highs, the things we don't do for love and relationships, especially when feelings are not there end up being our undoing. One respite here is injection of a tinge of urgency in our daily pursuits of relationships. Left alone, we wander around and drift apart until it's too late to salvage a relationship that's been taken for granted. Check this out.

🎉 New #Podcast! Sometimes by the time a crisis hits us, it's already too late to be urgent. Urgency is needed in our lives from the get get go. Health matters need even more daily urgency because we only have one body. Everything we do here on earth is done through the body. We cannot afford to wait until the body starts breaking down then we start talking about being urgent with our health. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! "There's no hurry in Africa" is something that we have heard for quite a while now. If you visited Kampala from a smaller town in Uganda, you will feel like "life is so fast, people are in a hurry". When you go to Nairobi you get shocked. That's before you visit Lagos or Washington D.C. I can tell you this: urgency in life doesn't necessarily denote activity all through. You can be at rest but also urgent. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have always said that the most important statistic is 1. This represents your life as well as mine. Without that statistic, all the others are essentially useless. That's why in the month we are focussing on health, fitness and wellness. Today's episode is special because our guest is a medical doctor but also a certified Functional Medicine practitioner, perhaps the only one of his kind in the region. This is one of the best conversations on the subject of wellness you can listen to. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! No doubt that we live in a fallen black world. In this world, urgency can be injected on our lives by way of a crisis. You don't have to do anything but the crisis might find you. No matter what degree of crisis you find yourself in, it will almost always inject urgency in your life. What matters the most is what we do AFTER the crisis is gone. What happens to our urgency? What happens to the tools of urgency that we just deployed to get out of crisis? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There are two major Ways that urgency can be injected in our lives. I call the first way "natural" for you don't have to do anything. Life and it's setbacks and crises will help you with that. We probably cannot escape it, but one of the advantages of the crises is that we become urgent. The second way is when we daily get intentional with our lives. Between the two, which one would you rather? You might need this reflection to made a decision. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! If we are effective in our lives we will have to inject a level of urgency in it. Without urgency in our lives, we are only leading mediocre levels of productivity but here is the thing: we won't even know about it. We all know about urgency. Remember that time of crisis that came your way? It injected a level of urgency in your life. All of a sudden, you knew how to prioritize. Let's learn a thing or two about urgency in this new series.

🎉 New #Podcast! The heart is one of the most neglected and jilted entities on earth. We are easier to believe the head than we believe the heart. Probably it is because we do not have "evidence" to back up what the heart says. However, there is so much gain to follow our hearts in our purpose pursuits. Nevertheless, as we pursue our purpose, we need to be aware of several things so we can stay on course. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Following the heart is a plausible advise. After all, the issues of life revolve around the heart. Some people think it's unspiritual to follow the heart but that's not entirely true. However, as you follow the heart, understand that there are some things that need to be processed by the head. The heart might not have evidence and might give directions that don't make sense. Still, learn to listen to it.

🎉 New #Podcast! We need to learn one thing, that we cannot possibly do all that we have to do to deploy our purpose fully alone and by ourselves. Our hearts can give us a hint of the direction to take in life, but we need to be aware of other things. Your purpose will not be deployed alone. You will need help and connection to get it fully done. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The most important statistic is 1, representing your life. Without it, all the other statistics are of no value to you. We need to be conscious of this fact and take good care of our bodies. Some of the things regarding this are as obvious and as reachable to us as anything common. I am talking about the things we can do for our health and fitness. Thankfully, we have been gifted by people like Riter Ceon who are passionate practitioners of health and fitness. I had a conversation with her concerning this and it was thoroughly enlightening. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I caught myself saying "the heart doesn't care how it's going to be done. The heart just wants it done". I do think it's a correct statement. That's why when you approach purpose with the head, it doesn't make sense at all. Here's one thing we need to know: somehow the heart knows more than we do but doesn't tell us. The heart knows our passion might be huge but the head has no clue to what extent we will thrive. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The heart is the seat of our emotions. Out of the heart flow the issues of life. It is therefore important to take note of what feedback flows from there. There is no human being that doesn't have the benefit of tuning into their heart and learn from there. For the most part, we have learned to tune off matters emanating from the heart because they are not empirical or cannot be measured. That would be wrong. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We are normally admonished to follow our hearts but take our heads along. The fact of the matter is that we need balance. However, you can never underestimate the power and importance of the heart on the issues of life. The heart is central to our purpose pursuit. We feel passion of what matters from the heart. We download feelings of fulfillment or even those of despair at the heart. It simply cannot be ignored in our purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! It is possible to discover our purpose by paying attention to the heart. Even though we have two conflicting scriptures talking about the heart, one cannot fail to see that the issues of life coalesce there. What we get from the heart is crucial feedback that we can use to course correct. Amazingly, this beacon that is the heart keeps receiving and broadcasting purpose related feedback to us that we can use in our entire lives of purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! "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 gray twilight that neither knows victory nor defeat" ~ Teddy Roosevelt. In the previous episodes, I have attempted to bring this quote to life by highlighting several advantages of going on a dare. Today we look at the last one. Check this out.

🎉 New #Podcast! Happy New Month! Half the year mark is here. I am excited to embark on a new journey in our Wednesday's conversations because we have a new theme to tackle: Health, Fitness and Wellness. This is one crucial area in our purpose pursuits. To start us off, I sought to speak to a fitness expert Eddie Okila in the conversation, you will learn exactly what made him venture into this area of passion. He is a man who wears many hats but you can easily see his passion for sports and fitness. This conversation was sobering, enlightening as it was inspiring. You will love it. Listen to it on the link below.
