Motivation is overrated. When it comes to forming habits your environment often matters more.

What ever habit you want to adopt, either being an avid reader, exercising or waking up on time will be determined by how well in alignment your environment is with the habits you want to adopt.

To have a "Habit Friendly" environment, you must ensure that your environment is anchored on the 4 laws of habit formulation.

Let's take an example of forming an exercising habit routine and see how we can apply the 4 laws of habit formulation;

1. Make it obvious: You do not want to leave your exercising routine up to chance. Define at what particular time you will be exercising. Is it at 05 in the morning or at 6 in the evening. Make use of your alarm clocks.

2. Make it attractive: One way you can do this is by having sticky notes in your room or any place that will make it visible for you to constantly remind yourself of the benefits of exercising.

3. Make it easy: It will be difficult to develop a habit of exercising if it takes you more time to get yourself in your exercising gear. Put your exercising clothes in a place that will be easy for you to wear them. If it takes you more than 2 minutes to wear your exercising clothes, chances are high that you might not have a consistent work out routine because of the mental strain of having to figure out what to wear.

4. Make it Satisfying: Tie a reward at the end of your exercising session by doing something that you enjoy doing. For example you can say, after i finish exercising i am going to relax by watching my favourite TV show or by scrolling my social media news feed. In that way you will always be looking forward to practicing your
Habit because you know there is a reward at the end of it. Humans are naturally motivated by rewards.

Remember, you do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems and systems are ultimately influenced by your environment.

Does The Bamboo Tree Grow in 5 years or 5weeks?

Did you know that if you plant a Chinese bamboo seed in the ground today, it will take you up to 5 years to see any signs of the Bamboo plant sprouting from the ground?

After those 5 years, it takes the Chinese Bamboo plant 5 weeks to become visible to the eye and grow to an astonishing height of 90 ft, ( that's the size of two coach buses vertically aligned together).

Now we may tend to wonder if the Chinese Bamboo plant grew in 5 years or if it grew in 5 weeks.

The fact that nothing was showing to the visible eye doesn't mean the Bamboo tree wasn't growing. During its underground moments, the Bamboo builds a strong root network that enables it to sustain its tall height. It is the robust root network that makes it possible for it to withstand the various storms that it gets subjected to.

The fact that we can not see growth doesn't mean there is no growth.

It you study any person or company that has reached the pinnacle of achievement in any discipline, you will discover that they have had their underground moments.

The sad part is that media will never show you the underground moments of any undertaking, the media only shows you the final products of people once they become visible to the eye.

The illusion of only seeing someone's spot light moments makes us think that if we did something similar to what they did, we would equally achieve what we want in the soonest possible time which isn't always the case.

That social media influencer you are admiring with many likes and followers today had at one point have an underground moment that he/she would post and get no reactions.

Allow yourself to grow, it is the underground moments that give you the necessary skills and personality that you will need to sustain what ever you are going to achieve in the future. When we try to use short cuts, we tend to deprive ourselves of the opportunity to upgrade and grow our character.

Here is the thing, anyone can achieve greatly at any time, but the question is have you grown in different areas of your personality to sustain what you have achieved? It is easy to acquire a white shirt but can you keep it white?

As anyone embarking on any journey to achievement or self actualisation remember to embrace the underground moments just like the Bamboo. Those underground moments like a Bamboo are building a strong root system that is invisible to the eye, so that when you finally sprout you will be able to stand the test of time.

Like the BAMBOO Focus on the Input and the Output will automatically fall in place.

Crabs In The Bucket Mentality

If you put one crab in a bucket it can easily claw its way out, however if you put more than one crab in a bucket it becomes much more difficult for one crab to claw its way out. Whenever a crab attempts to find its way out, the other crabs gang up to ensure that the clawing crab does not claw out successfully.

Crabs are comfortable so long as all fellow crabs are at the same level, but immediately one of them tries to elevate and escape from the bucket the other crabs try by all means to ensure that the attempt is not successful.

Haven't you ever wondered why mostly you will never receive negative criticism from people who are doing better than you, it is usually those who are below you who will try to push you down to their level.

The crabs in the bucket mentally rationizes saying;

'If i can not have it,neither should you'.

'The only way to get there is by bringing him/her down'.

'Why should you change, let's all be the same'.

You will notice that the crab mentally in humans usually masquerades as jokes. "Is this the person who can write a book, is this a person who can build a business, is this a person who can achieve so much"

This is more reason why a stranger is more likely to be your customer much faster than the people that you know. You starting a business might bring discomfort to those who have not yet started a business, so for them to nurse their inadequacies they prefer supporting someone they do not know so that you all remain at the same level.

I just wonder of how many great ideas and talent has been shattered by those in the front seats due to the fear of being outshined.
'If I was not promoted when I was 25, why should he be promoted at age 25'.

To everyone with various aspirations, let us remember to fight the system that has bought us into thinking that certain spaces are not meant to be occupied by a certain class of people and not each other.

Let us fight the system that has bought us into thinking that achievement in any endeavour is limited, ''once he has it, there will be nothing left for me'' and not each other.

Be comfortable with other people achieving what you want even if they do it before you,because them achieving in that space makes it easy for you and me to equally occupy that space.

Chef 187 and Sampa The Great having their song being used in a Marvel Movie Trailer makes it easy and normal for other similar artists to occupy those spaces.

Fight the system that makes it unconventional for us to occupy certain spaces and not each other.

A win for one is a win for all.

Are You The Solution?

There are two types of people in this world, those that see the glass half full and those that see the glass half empty.

Equally there are those that see problems as obstacles and those that see problems as an opportunity for growth.

Which one are you??

If you get to study the lives of the people at the pinnacle of any art,industry or sport, you will discover that being deliberate about their actions to be problem solvers and seeing challenges as an opportunity for growth are key ingredients that they all possess.

It is sometimes a common tendancy for fresh graduates to expect to be paid a salary that is greater than their experience, abilities and the number of problems they are able to solve. They sometimes feel entitled to being given a huge paycheck solely because they graduated from a prestigious university or come from a well to do background.

The sad truth however is that people do not pay you for your appearance at work, but for the value you bring to the table. The size of your paycheck is mostly equivalent to the number of problems you are able to solve. That CEO is payed that huge amount because of the problems he/she is able to solve. Cristiano Ronaldo is payed that huge amount because he is known for delivering in critical times.

If you then wish to be paid well or make more money as a business owner, try to find as many problems as possible and be the solution to those problems. Seek to be a problem solver in whatever you do and you will then see how benefits such as money and relevance will naturally follow you.

Friends, as we go about out daily activities and endeavours let us always remember that only the one who does what is not done, will see what is not seen.

If you can't do the little things right, you will never do the bigger things right.

Be the solution.

If I was a Pharmacist I would recommend for you to take this book atleast once every 3 months.

Sad Truth:
Ego easily gets to our Head effortlessly, consciously or unconsciously whilst Humility is something we must Continuously strive to attain and maintain.

Here is a simple exercise. Go outside and look at any Big and Tall Tree 🌳 you will discover that such trees have the deepest roots. That in itself is nature trying to teach us something.

Kindly tone down, it costs us nothing to be humble whilst the benefits are innumerable.

Let's briefly introspect together;

*Remember that rare friendship you lost because you wouldn't text or check up first and now you regret = Ego is the Enemy

*Remember that problem you faced but you wouldn't ask for help and you ended up making the wrong decision = Ego is the Enemy

*Remember that low class House you wouldn't move into and opted to move into a High class house but which was above your means and now you are in the rat race of working just for rentals = Ego is the Enemy

*Remember that Job you turned down because you thought you were over Qualified for it yet it had the potential to help you grow and you regret because you are now stagnant in your current Job = Ego is the Enemy

*Remember that Business that you wanted to start but refused to start because it involved direct selling, you looked down on it because you did not like the idea of being perceived as low class and now you are just living to keep up with appearances = Ego is the Enemy

*Remember that person you looked down upon only to find out that he/she can actually help you = Ego is the Enemy

The list is endless, however let's try to flip the coin🪙

Remember the time you were Humble to accept being taught, Humble enough to accept your inadequacies, Humble enough to admit that you were wrong... 🤔

You will discover that when you were Humble things actually worked for your own benefit.

Focus On Your Strengths.

If Usain Bolt was a footballer, would he have had achieved as a footballer what he has managed to achieve as an athletic Sprinter?

Let's gets some perspective,Usain Bolt is currently the world record holder of 100m and 200m sprints. He also has 8 Gold Olympic medals to his name and arguably the greatest sprinter to ever grace the running track.

After his retirement from Professional running in 2017, in 2018 Usain Bolt decided to join Football. Did he find it easy to excel in football? No

Why? One of the reasons is that Usain's strengths were more compatible with Running as opposed to football.

We all have different strengths,however the major reason we do not live up to our potential is that we dilute our potential by focusing on things that are not compatible with our strengths.

We make the mistake of trying to make the strengths of the people we look up to our own strengths which shouldn't be the case.

Focus on your own strengths, the world always has room for people who fully work on their strengths.

Who ever thought Trevor Noah would make a living out of comedy, Beyonce out of Music and Harland Sanders( Owner of KFC) out of cooking.

Truth is, we all have abilities that come second nature to us,things that make it easy for us to go an extra mile despite being exhausted. Those are the things you should be focusing on.

As we progress with our various activities, take some time off and introspect if really what you are doing is compatible with your strengths.

Focus on your strengths for that's where your leverage is found.
