The Life Purpose Podcast on Life Signatures Radio

🎉 New #Podcast! Perspectives, as already shared can mean heaven and earth difference in the world where discouragement is firmly part of life. We might not have a vaccine against it but we can change our mental game and thrive against discouragement. This is the last episode on the topic and incidentally, the last one in 2021. It has been a great ride. No matter what you do, don't let discouragement steal your dreams. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Despite the passion and the dedication to music, despite knowing that her vision is to facilitate healing through music, at some point in time Price Love considered giving it up altogether. She even considered suicide. Listening to her story, you learn quite a bit about gifts and talents, family, purpose, passion, work as well as resilience. This is one of my favorite episodes because we are soothed in there by her wonderful music from the "Adungu", a traditional musical instrument in Uganda. You really want to listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Life is about perspectives. It's about philosophies. All of us subscribe to a perspective or another, a philosophy or another. If we can switch our philosophies or at least use different ones, chances are that we might get helped with discouragement. In this episode, we talk about one more perspective in life that will help us to overcome discouragement. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! As discouragement will always be part of humanity, we have to learn how to approach it in order to be successful. After all, success is the continuous mastery over challenges, as already shared. There are different philosophies and approaches you can use to overcome a discouraging episode or phase in life. In this episode, I talk about how momentum helps you...but listen to how you need to apply it in order to win.

🎉 New #Podcast! All humans of all walks of life will experience discouragement. As already discussed in the previous episode, discouragement is a merchant of death, sapping out the life off many peoples and pursuits. Learning to deal with discouragement is a master skill of success, as I used to say that "success is the continuous mastery over challenges." In today's episode, let's learn from Jesus and the 10 lepers on how to overcome discouragement. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! A lot that shouldn't have been lost has been because of discouragement. I could easily say that discouragement is a merchant of death, not just the physical death but death of projects, ideas, relationships, etc. It kills momentum and slows us down. The interesting thing is that the discouragement could be an illusion. Whether real or illusionary, we have to learn to deal with it. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! In life, as long as you are human, even though you protect yourself from it, discouragement will always waltz itself into your life. As such, we have to be aware of it and prepare ourselves accordingly. The easiest way of fending off discouragement is to not get involved in life, lack passion, direction and purpose...even then you can't escape it. People of purpose will be discouraged. How do we handle it? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! What makes this world move is connections. Close connections such as friendships can easily be taken for granted but when they aren't there, we miss so much. In purpose pursuit, we need as much help and connections as we can get. So as we keep moving on in life, it is not only good to offer friendship but to receive it too. Here are some of the advantages of friendship in purpose pursuit.

🎉 New #Podcast! Amos Wekesa of Great Lakes Safaris brought Gerald's story to my attention when he highlighted it on Facebook. I went down to his workshop to have a chat and was greatly inspired. I still am even as we continue keeping in touch. Childhood play and passion can be taken for granted, but from Gerald's story, I have reason to believe that the passion is installed in us for life. As a child, what you are passionate about might find no relevance in life, at least the way it has been structured by Status Quo. In this conversation, we learn the importance of passion, persistence as well as "divine connections" in the pursuit of our purpose in life. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! When all is said and done, the quality of our lives hinges on the quality of our connections, most especially our close friendships that we keep. In this episode, we talk about the one major advantage we have with friendships that we couldn't have with self determination or when we are on our own. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There are different laws of life, the universe and nature. Certainly, the laws of humanity are different from those of the wild. One of such laws is the law of connection: the world is structured in such a way that we compliment each other. That's why we have friends. We get very many advantages from our friends even as we pursue our purpose. Here is but one of those many benefits. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We cannot be self sufficient in doing life. No matter how much we want it, self sufficiency is not a principle of life. Life is structured in such a way that we will always need each other. Friendships therefore are a crucial life ingredient. The deeper the friendships we have, the more vibrant our lives become. If you wanted to know the level of your friends, check them using this simple yardstick. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! "Friend". A term thrown around so loosely these days. In the days past, a friend wasn't a "follower" on social media or someone with a profile online with clout. For some wonderful reason, friendships are indeed a pillar of humanity the whole world over. Jesus Christ himself in reference to his purpose called those who helped him "friends". Think about that. So how many do you have? How many have you? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! You will be amazed that it is possible to connect everything you own, all the achievements you have made as well as the pain you have experienced to friendships. Daily, either directly or indirectly, our lives are being shaped by the company we keep. It is therefore critical to take into consideration the quality of the people around us. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We live in an interconnected world. The human being is a social animal. We depend on one another. If we were deprived of friends, our lives won't be the same. That's why one of the most sinister ways to punish a human is to send them to solitary confinement. In our purpose pursuit, friendships are critical. Let's explore that in the new series.

🎉 New #Podcast! #ConversationsWednesday One of the ways to identify your passion and purpose is adversity. Patricia Opio has a powerful and inspiring story. Her brand, "This is Me" is born out of the ashes of her life and now it is a story of 'beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning and peace for despair". I had a chat with her and was blown away by her story. I am sure you will be inspired. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The fact that I need you for one thing or another doesn't mean that you are any less than I am. The fact that we need each other doesn't mean that we are deficient.. it's simply how the world is structured to operate. As such, subtle connections in life are very powerful in our purpose pursuit. There are quite a number of advantages that accrue from this. In the episode today, I summarize about five benefits of subtle connections. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I just had an engagement with a consultant. They understand what to do but they don't have the time to focus on what's not their core function. That's why they needed my services. I got back home and the mechanic had to help me with my car. It took them less than five minutes to fix something that made me look for alternative means of transport. As you can see, we need each other's strengths to compliment our purpose pursuit. Here is why subtle connections are important. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! At times you have an idea or a project that in your estimation, it you were to do it alone, it would take you decades to pull it off. And then a subtle connection comes your way and propels you to complete it in record time. That's one of the advantages of subtle connections in life. We look at that aspect in this episode drawing from the life of Steve Jobs and Jesus Christ. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! As sure as we are all alive each day, we need each other in varying degrees. When I talk about needing each other, Many people take it from the angle of receiving, and not giving. The giver is not any better than the receiver for the giver is a receiver in another capacity. That's how our world functions. There are various advantages of subtle connections in our lives. Here is one more advantage. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have belaboured the point that we all need connections in our lives. There are many advantages for connecting, but we have to realize that the very structure of the universe shows that life works through interdependence. In this episode, we take a look at one advantage of connections in our lives. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Nepotism, tribalism, cronyism etc stand on one side while "Merit" stands on the other. We preach merit all day long and preach against connections with disdain. Is that in order? Whether we like it or not, we are living in a universe that chiefly operates on connections more than on merit. If anything, connections are a foundational principle of how the world works. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! This is the second part of the conversation I had with Professor Patrick Ogwang, the inventor of Covidex. Last week, we talked about his childhood and education. In this interview, you get to learn just why Professor is passionate about finding health solutions using herbal medicine. You learn exactly how Covidex came to be and about the clinical tests needed before Covidex can be licensed and made available to the world. Listen.

🎉 New #Podcast! We don't have to see the whole staircase before you get started to climb. In life, you might not have everything in place before you can do something major... and that's how we get stranded. That's why we need to leverage the most of connections in our lives. However, the connections we are looking for are themselves waiting for us to be in motion and be in position to effect the connection. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of the most powerful things about the universe, it's structure and way of operation is dependence on parts. Every whole has a part. That's just the structure of how things work. That's why we should not feel guilty when we seek to get connected to others. And and of ourselves, we cannot succeed in our purpose pursuit. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! We err when we think that the Most enlightened thing we can do is to work on our weaknesses until we become complete and all rounded. By the time we get there, we are already average and just spread too thin The world is instead structured in such a way that we make the most of other people's strengths and passions so that we can concentrate and develop ours. We therefore need connections for this to happen. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Mark Gungor makes a hilarious illustration about men and their brains. That they are made up of little boxes each containing one thing that can only be accessed one at a time...and that the boxes don't touch. Then there are women's brains. Everything is connected to everything... including the most unrelated things...and dates. That's exactly how life is. Everything is connected and that is why you need the power or subtle connections in your life. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Look around you. I believe that whatever you see doesn't stand alone without there being a need for connecting. In fact chances are that without connecting, nothing really happens. That's true with our lives too. We need connections not because we want to circumvent merit, but because we cannot survive and thrive without connecting. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! No man is an island. We thrive through connections. Stephen R Covey taught us crucially about independence, dependence and interdependence. Those are three critical levels of connection that we need in life. When I talk about subtle connections, I am talking about what we do not have control of but what connection that can multiply our value and vision exponentially. How do we position ourselves to get the best out of this connection? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Virtually everything I see around me as well as the person I am becoming are a derivative of connections with people either directly or indirectly. That's why we need to leverage the power of connections in our pursuit of purpose. There are quite a number of connections in this world, but in this new series, I will be focussing on Subtle connections. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! #ConversationWednesdays People of #Purpose are all around us. Some are prominent while others are yet to be. But as they keep doing what they are passionate about in their obscurity, sooner or later, their passion and purpose finds relevance in society. When that happens, we are intrigued to find out what makes them tick, what makes them passionate and what makes them stand out. Professor Patrick Ogwang was ushered into the limelight in Uganda in 2021 when he invented #Covidex by sheer serendipity. Here is part of his story while growing up.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of the most powerful things on earth are processes. If you can master process, you can achieve a great deal. Couple that with ideas harvesting and execution, you are in a great league of Productivity. Ideas are more powerful than people or even events. In fact, the only powerful thing than an idea is another idea. That's why we need to learn to make the most of the ideas coming into our lives. Here is a summary of how we can do that.

🎉 New #Podcast! Motion is progress. I don't know who said that but there is merit in it. When we follow through and execute a concept or an idea to the hilt, we set ourselves up for massive change in our lives and possible impact in the world. Ideas are a dime a dozen. What differentiates people is the execution of the ideas. You might have a million dollar idea and I might have a thousand dollar idea. If I execute mine, it becomes the million dollar idea while yours unexecuted becomes less than a mite in value. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Ideas "die" daily because of several reasons. The majority of them die even before they could ever be tried on. The interesting thing about an idea is that you might not know whether it will work or not until you try it out. The process just before trying an idea out is perhaps one of the most important of all. It is where work begins. Probably this is why consultants are paid quite a lot at times. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I don't know if this speaks of you but at times we get excited about ideas at conception that we go broadcasting to anyone and everyone that would hear. Shortly after we get hit upside the head with "feedback" from lazy people who call themselves "realists". They tell us that our ideas won't fly, won't see the light of the day. Yes, we must talk about our ideas. It is a very crucial step in ideation. But who and how we talk about these ideas is critical. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Ideas can always be captured and give us a foundation for the actions we take. At times, the most excited person is the one with an idea and at the same time, the person with stress, in a good way, is the person with an idea. How we use the ideas in our lives determine the quality of life we lead. It goes without saying. Here is one powerful way to forge ahead with ideas.

🎉 New #Podcast! #WednesdayConversations I had a discussion with some of the members of a Mastermind Group called BookAnts. Even though this was an impromptu interview, there were quite interesting submissions on interesting topics. We talked about 8-5 jobs, Business, Money, Productivity, and of course, my favorite subject of Purpose. We were having a meeting at one of our friend's house. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! The paradox in life is that as much as ideas would seem to be a dime a dozen, not so many people are leveraging their readily available state. We take them for granted but we know that the answers to most of our nagging questions would be ideas. So how exactly do we get to make the most of the ideas that come to us in life? We need to first anticipate them. And then we need to go one step further. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! It's a paradox. Ideas are all over the place but they are nowhere at the same time. What makes the difference is how we consciously intend to anticipate them. But another paradox is that great ideas occur, they ensue rather than designed. Not that designing ideas doesn't work...but great ideas flow seamlessly to us. So that being the case, what should be our best approach in bringing them to life? Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Even as the ideation process is critical in life, it at times seems as if it's a reserve of a few people in the innovation space. However, as I have said numerous times, everyone has the capacity to ideate. As a matter of fact, there is no human being that doesn't have an idea. The difference between people is in the implementation of ideas. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of the Most powerful things in life is an idea. Each one of us has the capacity to connect to ideas. The more we work with ideas, the more we deploy our potential and ultimately connect to our purpose. There are several levels through which ideas come to us. Each of this level is just as crucial as the next one. That's why we need to be aware and alert about them. Here is a summary of the 5 levels of idea generation.

🎉 New #Podcast! Here is the simple reason: ideas at times are born of motivation or inspiration. The speaker might be talking about something totally different trying to inspire, inform or motivate you in a particular dimension. However, there is a level of idea generation that emanates from inspiration that could have probably never come to you any other way. Ideas are central to your purpose pursuit so if you can expose yourself to the environment of inspiration, it would be a great thing. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There are different levels of ideas. Each work for a specific scenario and for a specific purpose. All these ideas help us to be better people and to deploy our purpose. However, there is a specific ideas level that we must learn to harness and deploy. Just because I am a good person doesn't necessarily follow that I will succeed. I must apply these special type of ideas in order to make it. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I had a very "vulnerable conversation" with Recover Coach Bill Bekunda who refers to himself as a Recovering Alcoholic. He has turned his ashes to beauty and now helps countless others to rise above their addiction and become productive members of society. I loved this conversation because it teaches us that nothing we go through is useless, and that we can use our pain and wounds to heal others who are experiencing the same, or even worse. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Ideas are everything in life. Literally. There is nothing you see that was never an idea. Think about that. One might even argue that we are ideas! I do believe that whoever wanted to discover their purpose, they could do well with an idea being pursued. I think that ideas are somehow connected to our purpose. There are different levels in which ideas occur. Here is one of them.

🎉 New #Podcast! Someone said that an opinion is like a nose, everyone has it. True. But have you ever considered instinct? Have you ever considered intuition? The difference between a nose and instinct is that one is prominent and visible while the other is invisible and doesn't have a permanent prominent location...so we ignore it. There is a strong connection between the ideas that come from your intuition and your purpose. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! I have always believed that a Creator of humans will not have any one of them clueless on how to live and make sense of this life. As such, I believe that installed in every human there is a natural system of intelligence far above academia, market research and even science. This, I believe, is the foundation place where great ideas come from with freshness and power to transform. Think of any great entity today on earth. It's source was intuition or instinct. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! Weak things can be very powerful. Ideas in their pre conception and even in their conception stages can be ignored. The truth is that nobody knows how they will pan out at that time. However, most, if not all things in life around us are connected to ideas. They came from there. I have this firm belief that our purpose can be revealed through the ideas that occur to us and we pursue them. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! One of the most powerful things on earth are ideas. If you wanted to transform any area of your life, you will do it through the seed of an idea. It goes without saying. What I have found intriguing is that ideas come to us related to areas of our passion. In other words, if we are careful, we can easily connect to our purpose through the ideas that come to us. Listen to this.

🎉 New #Podcast! There is no doubt in my heart that no one enjoys being purpose-less. People want to live a life that matters to them. However, a large percentage fail to attain to the levels of purpose that are desired. There are a number of internal and external factors that will bring this situation. I have taken some time to examine just eight factors that I think will resonate with you. Listen to this.
