YOU ARE THE DISCIPLE OF YOUR OWN TALENT

I'M THE DISCIPLE OF MY OWN TALENT

If biography is abut who you are then this is not my biography rather an experience on how I have discovered my talent during my hard times in my earlier life. 

This talent of a thing is in everyone. Some are blessed as multi-talented while others are given only one talent. The most important for every person is to try to look within or inside himself in order to reap the seed of his purpose while on earth. The more you water the seed, the more fruitful it becomes. You are responsible for your life. 

I AM THE DISCIPLE OF MY OWN TALENT

I am Batholomew Obienyi. I was born in the great union of Ihejiako and Bridget Obienyi in the village named Agbama Amaidi Achara Uturu Abia State Nigeria.

I was 3 years plus when my father died. And I could remember vividly our enjoyments and sufferings.

My family background was very poor then. And we lived in two rooms house built with mod blocks with licking roofs more than 22 years.

I went to government primary school (kanti) in my basics and came out with almost empty brain. But then, I can reason.

I was witnessing all events only in my memory and unable to share with anybody. I could recall choosing a secondary school to attend for myself because I was trying to make a choice. But my mother over shadowed me and redirected my choice with forces of angry words.

Then she decided for me. And I went to commercial secondary school. Since then, my mother has not decided for me again in my life though for a reason. Am growing.

All the subjects in my first term result were marked with red pen. This only indicated that I was a failure. And I was proud showing it to people and they were celebrating it only Emefu Chukwuebuka who explains it for me. He told me that I failed. This annoyed me. And I was saying this in my heart, why did those I showed it to the first place didn’t tell me? I understood that it takes courage to look at somebody no matter the age in the face and tell him, he is a failure. Only those who want you to improve can do that.

 

I would have been a failure in life if not that...

 

I took charge of my life in my junior class 2 because my mother who is my only near helper wants to start training my younger sister Chinyere with her hard money earned from farming in people’s farm lands.

I battled in the field of learning with my teachers who used beating and sticks on me in teaching me how to think for myself. My classmates like Maureen Nwankwo and Peace Echendu whose companions I enjoyed in teaching me how to pronounce and spell and read as well.

If you cannot think for yourself – you cannot discover your faults.

See, if you cannot discover your faults that means you cannot grow, nor change your current erroneous state. There are no other way of growing accept by thinking on how to discover yourself. Discovery yourself means thinking for yourself and knowing the next necessary directions or actions to take in order to improve your life.

It is now that I discovered my errors then.  The errors were there because no one motivated me from the first place. I was doing everything for myself – not my cause but the environment I was passing through contributed.

In real sense, I need not blame anybody including environments.

I make another choice that my mother is not aware. What was the choice? I promised myself within that I would serve that purpose of motivation for others which I have lacked from the beginning of my life.

Our high intelligent principal Chief I.C. Azumara showed it through his examples of works but we could not recognized it. It was motivation that my classmates were offering to me but then I did not comprehend it. Now I took it to heart.

Have you lived with an insightful widow before?

Gradually, I turned to a learning reader with the help of my class mates who laughs at me in my erroneous pronunciation of words and sentences. I discovered that it is in trying to learn that we truly know. After the process, I make a promise to myself to study more of my books in order to learn more to achieve the goal I was sent to accomplish by my lovely mother who made the best choice for me.

I cannot tell how I came to value the word motivation.

Maybe it could be out of my numerous researches on how I could improve reading, writing and drawing skills with my nice friend Onyebuchi Nwankwo who is also inquisitive in learning new things.

In our secondary school days, our seniors don’t come for us for motivations. It affected many poor students like us as some people later dropped out of school.

The struggling continues after secondary school.

But it was in secondary school that I started writing poems like; The Immortal Moon, The Crying Birds and others that I did not value much. I was 19 years when I finished my secondary.

 

I have finished but life has not finished with me. I set out the next year for other motivations about growth for the younger ones.

 

Buddha words read:  

“Believe nothing, no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own reason and your own common sense.” - Buddha

I love speaking publically especially to secondary school students and village rourted individuals whose mindset has been reshaped by poverty and sightless environment.

I love discovery and sharing of ideas with people. Am trying my best to be friendly but not working according to what people are telling me on how to live my life unless those I think upon.  I decided to choose my life. And I did follow my bliss.

 

I choose to write, motivate and think.

I then became a Writer, Motivational Speaker and a Free Thinker

I believe so much in enlightenment works and I like music and gym exercises.

I found out that people need motivations but many do not want to be the motivators themselves.

I promised myself to be different among others - I choose to be a motivator. I discuss ideas not qualifications. 

I have written so far three books now such as: Our Little World, Deep Down I Came Up and A Witch Encounter which they came as inspirations and life experiences.

I was surviving without fear but faith in my Creator. I acknowledged my challenges because they are there in front of me.

Nature has lots of good things for us if only we could bend down to master ourselves and do what we love no matter who kicked it off. Find out what is your purpose on earth. Listen to that inner voice that always wants to direct you.

 

There in the holy bible was written; "Seek you shall find. Knock the door shall be open. Ask and it shall be given. Believe and you shall receive" - Said Jesus Christ.

We are in a wide world and dynamic world with technologies influences.

I strongly believe that one who follows the Light shall not be afraid of the Dark. One who endures conquers. He who waits has everything.

I have set out to know more, do more, achieve more than the whole world is expecting of me. This could not be accomplished by mere sayings and day dreaming about it rather, with dedicated actions and faith in my gifts to help the people of the universe in my own level of inspiration and awareness. 

Make a decision today to live fully on your earthly purpose.

TEN WAYS OF ACTUALIZING YOUR VISION

TEN WAYS OF ACTUALIZING YOUR  VISION

There are unexpected obstacles blocking  any set vision. But there are also ways if followed your vision can be achieved in shorter time.

Succeeding in your set goals in life is not as easy as you have seen many succeeded. It is only men with unstoppable attitudes can reach out with their visions accomplishment. 

Men who are visionary know that success don't happen accidentally, it happens when consciousness or mind penetrate and over shadows our earthly obstacles.

Strive to know what the great men know not what they do that brings success to them. Below are ten proven ways visionary leaders, businessmen and women have used in achieving their set goals almost  the same strategies. 

Here are the ten ways of actualizing our dreams or visions:

1. Being Aware Of What You Really Want 

This is the first and most important thing a person should know when it comes to vision accomplishment. And consciously work towards what you wanted to achieve with all the strength available to him e.g. you would want to be an engineer, a pilot, broker, architect, etc. your dream / target should be objective, with mapped patterns / structures of achieving it. And a specific period of time need to be marked for the accomplishment.

 2. Expansion Of Thinking

The ability to think, imagine, and visualize before acting helps one in the accomplishment of a vision. You would get rich facts from books, research works, seminars and workshops in line with your proposed vision plan. 

3. Valuing Your Vision

This is very crucial in one’s life. Valuing the vision one has despite what may come along. You value your vision by concentrating on the achievement of that vision which is your purpose in life. Families, friends, churches or clubs associates may try to stop you but not giving in attitudes to their forces gives your vision more hope to survive crisis.

4. Having a Mentor

A great Mathematician, Isaac Newton, says: “If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants. Look for people who know more than you do. Try new things and think more.

5. Never Stop Attitude

Napoleon Hill, the author of Think and Grow Rich said: “A quitter never wins. A winner never quits”. Always believe that what is in front of you is greater than what is behind you.  

6. Concentrating On The Task At Hand

Focusing on the set goal at hand helps a vision to come into reality. Avoid distractions, procrastinations and waste of resources. 

 7. Asking Questions

This is moral attitude of a winner. All visionary leaders are questioners. Because all leaders are followers said – John C. Maxwell. Asking questions on confusing strategies that has failed to work and looking for solutions.

8. Discovering What Drags You Back

The more you discover your set backs the more forward you move. Do not look for friends that will not contribute anything meaningful rather go for people that would make much impact in your daily activities. 

9. Looking For Like Minds

This is the engine of a MUST fulfilled vision. No vision can be accomplished without like minds related been attached. Like minds walk the same road. Just like the law of attraction will attract itself.

10. Fueling Your Visions

By fueling your vision, you call, text, email, research even travel some places all because of the vision. A continuous fueling  will keep you going.

WHAT IS TALENT?

I believe all that I have said here would be a help to achieving your goals in life. If you are confused in any of the ways listed or if you have tried one that did not work out for you, simply know that it could be because you have fail to use it the correct way from the view.

THE THREE GREATEST HINDRANCES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

THE THREE GREATEST HINDRANCES OF HUMAN DEVELOPMENT

The three greatest hindrances of human kind development have eaten deep in the lives of many youths around the world today. They are the reasons many people refused to venture into their real life callings. 

To overcome these greatest damaging fears in our heart of hearts, one needs self encouragement, self motivation, be insightful in nature and accept Self-Containment as God has commanded. Knowing these hindrances is the only way we can tackle shame, mistakes and fear. 

These are the three hindrances:

MISTAKES, FEAR AND SHAME  are the greatest hindrances of human kind. It is only the timid in heart these three things would affect greatly.

Be courageous!

Fear leads to mistakes and mistakes leads to shame and shame leads to failures. Your inability to act or move forward because of your errors is the beginning of all doubt. Forget your shame and mistakes and run to your success. No pain no gain is an old adage that's work best here. 

This word mistake, can be seen as an error in action, calculation, opinion, or judgments caused by poor reasoning, carelessness, insufficient knowledge or misconception of an idea.

In spite of your fears to act, to try new things out, to invade your world and to explore the unknown, it is better to act in boldness and kindness and fail than never to make a move.

Focusing on fear of what you will face, what people will say, or how poor you would have belittled yourself at the moment will cause more harm than you may imagine.  It is easy and better to move on, to keep trying, to work and to learn from past failures of others.

Fear is what lead men to be greedy and greedy leads to war as war put the world into unending conflicts and tumors. 

Fear comes in many phase: it could be because of lack of education, self confidence, belief system, cultural and individual differences, racism, and other unmentioned hatred among people. 

No matter what form it may appear, always cloth your face with boldness because it covers a lots of faults. Enoch Tan the creator of MindReality said in one of his article that there’s magic in boldness. Why fear?

On the other hand, mistakes are temporary occurrences that do not happen all the time. Mistake is not always but it occurs sometimes in one’s daily activities.

Those who fear mistakes are of the little minds and spirits and lack self courage and determination to move forward in life and its' challenges. Any action done by mistake is met to be repeated in mind. Your mistakes today is your success tomorrow. Infact, make mistakes. The more mistakes, the more knowledge.

When you made a mistake in any of your daily activities, don’t dwell or focus on the mistakes so long because it has been committed there’s no need to cry over split milk. 

Be bold. Encourage yourself and move on. Besides, nobody is above mistake even if there’s, do not look away your eyes on growth and focus attention on development. 

We all are working towards perfection not that we are perfect. You should know that we are not perfect, always whisper it to your heart silently.

One step to take to avoid mistakes is to move slowly in your consciousness before speaking out or doing anything worthwhile at the moment. Sometimes we need to slow down. Mistake is good to our growth. Not too much of it. There are some deathly mistakes that need to be avoided in time.

Even too much mistakes without giving up attitude leads to greater success. It teaches us how to stop criticism from others because none is faultless. Frequently occurrences of mistakes cause fear and leads to failure.

But to learn how to swim, we must first of all sink with the waters. We must feed ourselves with the ability to wait. Commit thousands of mistakes in uncommon places with uncommon people but let it be in boldness and you will discover that they will still appreciate you. But you must strive to grow to help yourself.

Lastly, shame is the root cause of mistakes and fear. Try to over come shame in order to fly with your invisible wings.   

Shame is an unpleasant self-conscious and emotion often associated with negative self-evaluation; motivation to quit; and feelings of pain, exposure, distrust, powerlessness, and worthlessness. Shame - wikipedia 

Forget the accusing fingers. You are good. Go on the way you are good. You are beautiful and you are also a hero.

Hear the interview now:

Me:

Does a mentor need to charge money before mentoring?

Mute Efe:

It depends.

If it is one on one mentoring, No.

Me:

Explain please.

How does one choose a life mentor not yearly?

Mute Efe:

But if it is a mentoring program where there are many people being mentored by one person he can charge a fee. Just like coaching.

If you find someone who represents everything you aspire for you can make him a life mentor.

Me:

Is it necessary for one to have a permanent mentor to succeed in life?

Can a mentor be selective or choose his/her mentee?

Mute Efe:

Yes

Me:

Do you still at your age now have a mentor?

Mute Efe:

Yes.

Even Oyedepo has a mentor.

Me:

Can one have many mentors?

Mute Efe:

You can have several mentors in different areas

Me:

Should one choose a person he is above in age as a mentor?

Mute Efe:

It's possible. It is called reverse mentoring.

Me:

What is the demerit of mentoring?

Mute Efe:

Sometimes conflicts can arise.

And if the mentor is not really mature he can become hostile when the mentee starts making fast progress.

Me:

Can one's wife or husband serve as ones' mentor?

Mute Efe:

Many ladies have married their mentors

But it is common with men. Most men choose men as mentors. But ladies also choose men, too.

Can it serve as a life mentoring after marriage?

Can one's mentor intentionally mislead his mentee?

Mute Efe:

Yes.

Me:

If it happens, how could one possibly find out in time?

Mute Efe:

A wife can regard her husband as her mentor for life.

I have never heard of such but it is possible. However, there must have been an issue in the relationship and the mentee would have known that all is no longer well.

Me:

If a mentee has a multiple vital purpose in life, should he/her listen or follow the mentor's advice?

Me:

If I ask you now to be my mentor and it happened that you said yes. What would you expect to be your reward - my success in life or in monitory aspect?

Mute Efe:

If the mentee does not want to follow the mentor's advice he should not have chosen him.

For your second question, I am not accepting mentees right now.

Me:

Thank you for your time. Please answer the last question. Thank you once more.

Mute Efe:

I will have to find out if I am the right mentor for you.

For example, a musician cannot come and ask me to be his mentor. I will decline.

Me:

What reward mentors accept from their mentees' mostly?

Mute Efe:

Even though mentors may not demand any reward, it is expected that a mentee should appreciate his mentor.

The mentee should use his discretion to determine the form of appreciation.

Me:

Thank you very much.

Should one seek to be someone's mentor?

Mute Efe:

No.

But one can start a mentoring program and let people decide whether they want him to be their mentor.

I have one mentor that I pay to be in his program. I have another one that I don't pay.

Me:

Is it advisable to be a musician and as well be a public motivational speaker?

What secret should I know about mentoring?

Mute Efe:

A public speaker can be in any profession. Once you are successful people will want you to come speak to them

Chinedu, we have exceeded your time.

Me:

Yes. Thank you. I learn.

Mute Efe:

The secret about mentoring is that everybody needs a mentor in one area or another.

Mentorship is the influence, guidance, or direction given by a mentor. A mentor is someone who teaches or gives help and advice to a less experienced and often younger person. In an organizational setting, a mentor influences the personal and professional growth of a mentee. Wikipedia

A mentor is a person who has more knowledge than you do. A mentor gives you direction and mostly motivate you when the bridge seem tiny to cross to the next phase of life.
