MYACHIEVER'SCREW: TOUGH TIMES
Tough times are hard times. It is a time when a man is faced with great challenges and overwhelming odds of life, which looks like it will never end. These are times when you put in your best but it all seem to be futile.
It can be liken to the 'friday' when Jesus Christ was crucified and passed through great agony for mankind redemption and the 'saturday' when he was buried.
Tough times can make out of you a champion and bring out the great man in you. On the other hand, it can shatter your dreams and aspirations in life. "Most life identities were picked during hardship"-Taiwo Owolabi. The decisions you make during tough time matters a whole lot inorder for one not to regrete it at the end, because "tough times never last but tough people do". Definately every ugly situations in life will come to pass.
You may be wondering that what are tough times in real sense of it. It is when there is a delay in achieving a set goal in one's life. It can be in different ways i.e gaining admission into the higer institution, making your complete result at one sitting, getting a good job or getting married. Tough times could be birth as a result of the economic situation in the country or as a result of physical disability.
It makes us stronger to face greater challenges of life, it builds up our courage and gives us the confidence that we can succeed in life inspite of all odds.
The bible also gives examples of people that passed through tough times and overcame. We have David; he passed through times with King Saul before he became the anointed King of Isreal. Abraham passed through tough times before he got the promised child. Paul the apostle faced tough times to reach the gentiles with the gospel and so many others.
But one unique difference about these people I have mentioned is that they never gave up, but kept on till they triumph because they were extraodinary people with extraodinary vision.
The only panacea you can ever posess to break forth from 'tough times' is determination to succeed and excel despite the setbacks or delay. In the period of tough times, engage in profitable activities and still have your goal in mind. Do all you can because the labour of the deligent will never be fruitless.

Comfort Zone
MYACHIEVERSCREW
Are you so comfortable where you are? And you wouldn’t want to do anything that would pull you out from there? Better still, you see it as ‘gotten to my destination’ and every other thing seems less important to you? And then you feel it’s the best you’ve ever and will ever get? No, it’s just a comfort zone, and it isn’t the best you’ve got! Comfort Zone is a place of complacency, holding one down in a spot and making him feel he has gotten everything ever needed.
Success is what we all strive for and can only be acquired not in that position one stands firmly in now, but how best he makes use of every opportunities he receives and creates.
To succeed in life, one needs to go above present limits and attempting the impossible. But while standing firm in your comfort zone, you remain blind to succeeding further and maximizing your potentials in life. You’ll also be filled with the fear of stretching out or doing things outside that which comforts you. You’ll keep doing the same thing often and often, only to keep enjoying every bit of your repeated success. It is a great obstacle to ones success and dose not allow you take profitable risk in growing to reaching your potentials in life.
Success in life isn’t getting to a destination, it isn’t just a journey; but it is a journey of accomplishments. Success demands sacrifice; if you desire it, you have to give up something. It is a risk and a risk worth taking.
When you get to a point of comfort where everything you want and do is so convenient and you presume you’re successful, step out of it and look forward for more greater things. The first step to becoming successful is to avoid complacency and be inconsistent.
When you choose to stay put in your comfort zone, you allow the good to blind you to the best, thus, ending your vision to see further. Let me remind you that the door of opportunity is always tagged “PUSH ME”, and it lies everywhere and anywhere! Only few men realizes this and only the opportunists among them get holds of it. You choose to rob yourself of the opportunity to move higher and faster in life when you choose to remain in your comfort zone. The success we all strive for is open to only those who dare to do things outside their comfort zone.
Often in life do we encounter problems and faced with overwhelming odds. They are not to break us-only if we choose to, but to make us and help us grow even to reaching our maximum potentials in life. In becoming what you’ve intended, one will be faced with overwhelming odds. It is in this whole process that we give up who we were in becoming who we are, and life having meaning. Giving up your comfort zone for a life where you’ll stand better chances of succeeding is worth it, but when you choose to stay put, you tie your hands and prevent them from pushing the doors of opportunities that lies outside it.
It is what kills your vision and dream, ending it together with its focus and making you see only the good pleasantries around you as an excuse not to be at your very best. Choose to making the best of your life at this time by stepping out of that comfort zone you are today., and begin to dare the impossible with your possibilities. - Taiwo Owolabi.

FOCUS (An Evolution of Success): 1
M Y A C H I E V E R ' S C R E W :
INTRODUCTION:
The value of life lies not in the lenght of days, but in the use we make of them.
Staying alive through each day isn't just enough, if we can't make a good living out of each day that passes by.
All men are given 365 days for a year and 366 days for a leap year to make a living for themselves, but only few turn out to be successful. Those who aren't successful weren't created or wished for it that way. It has always been God's will to create men of success, but not all men have been able to demonstrate this will.
Both the successful and the unsuccessful men dreamed of what they will someday become, but only those successful were able to follow through. The 'WHY?' is because not all men focus on their intended course. The world in which we all live in today is a world full of distractions, obstacles and struggles. If one needs to achieve its goal and live the reality of his or her dream, one needs to focus on the path he has chosen.
WHAT IS FOCUS?
The dictionary defined focus as the centre of interest or activity and also the concentration of attention. The activity at which your concentration flows together with your energy, toughts, mind and the whole being of yourself unto a particular cause is demonstrated by focus.
It is giving up other things to see the goal of one task achieved.
Most men who have defining goals and great ideas that has been arranged for success, but failed to workout is an impression of absence of focus. If success is planned with the absence of focus, it leads to waste of time and energy.
When planning a goal or planning for success, its very significant to couple one's motive and objectives together with a reasonable amount of focus, thus, giving the possible outcomes. There are several others who planned their goal coupled with focus, but still, failed along line and others at the verge of it accomplishment.
The reason why a man who had focus on working towards his goal failed is because he could not maintain persistent concentration.
Focus is much more than concentration of attention. It is maintaining persistent concentration overtime.
We have been able to examine what FOCUS is, but haven't gotten deeply to know its importance and how best it works. Keep an eye on the blog for the next post which is goin to talk more on focus and 'obstacles to focus'.

DETERMINATION!
M Y A C H I E V E R ' S C R E W :
Determination has become the 'motto' of almost every individual today, and yet, only few seems to have truely been able to acheive eighty to ninety percent of their proposed success!
While others are still unable to make a fab living by living up to their dreams.
Determination goes a long way in man's success. When one has a strong intention on a course of action to bring about a desired outcome, its called DETERMINATION! With determination, the hardest task becomes an easier one and the impossible becomes possible.
Even our dreams, they become a reality.
When you kept trying that which you've failed at until you finally arrive at your expectation isn't because you just want to, but because you were determined you won't give up on yourself!
Determination gives us the inner ability to strive for excellence. When you have a goal to accomplish, its determination you need to stick with it.
After your freewill might have allowed you to choose what so ever you desire, you now need to use determination to go to school all through to get good grades to equip yourself in becoming that which you've choosen to be.
Man's determination is one of the greatest assest man can posses. It brings out the best in us, and help us strive at an accomplishment till the desired goal is achieved.
'If success were easy,everyone will be doing it, and there won't be poverty stricken people, there won't be negative situation that make life a livinghell...'-Stephen D. Ibrahim. To be a success is no easy task, it takes a whole lot and its got to do with determination.
John C. Maxwell says; hen we want something and we don't get, its a sign that we don't seriously want it or we tried baggaining for the price. Determination is never giving up despite setbacks and mistakes.
Have you ever had an idea you would love to exhibit and that seems difficult for you to do? Or maybe you wish to be the best in which ever career you've choosen and that too isn't as easy as you thought it would be?
To be honest, at every verge of accomplishing, life gets horrible and fustrating. 'Success itself isn't just an accomplishment, but accomplishing'. It doesn't just occure in a man's life, He strives for it.
Tell me, what keeps you focusing? Or what keeps you going extra mile? IT'S DETERMINATION, it keeps us motivated when life looks a whole lot like hell.
Without determination, 'man's will' to succeeding will always fail at every verge of accomplishing a goal.
The difference between one who achieves and one who doesn't is how best they both make use of their determination.
Don't just wish to have it but be determined to have it, its the only motivation you will get to get through.
For when determination is exercised, it goes a long way. It becomes a source of energy that propels us through life-from start to finish, and giving us the compulsion to succeed.
One of the best discoveries you can ever make is that you can become what so ever you desire to be no matter where you are today or how bad your life may have been in the past with your determination!
And 'the greast of miracles is that we need not to be tomorrow what we are today, but we can improve. If we make use of the potentials implanted in us by God'-John Maxwell.
Determination is one of those potentails implanted in us, to be able to strive through in life despite failures and ugly situations.
Its never too late for us all to begin that which we ought to have finished and to be what we might have become, if we stand back on track with our determination in our hands. Having the aim that we are not sent to start the race alone but to finish it to the best we can.
'Determination is what conquers every failure and help to achieve a lot in life'-Taiwo Omotayo.
If you still got it, hold to it and if you don't, its in YOU!
Taiwo Owolabi.
