Inspiration Republic Bola Yusuf

Today is the last episode of the Inspiration republic, I am excited about it.

I have taught over a hundred participants at my webinar about the last profile in the last two years.

The last profile is a concept of creating the end of life and walk back to the present to live it.

It is all about creating the statement you would want to hear from the lips of everyone at your funeral services when you finally depart from the earth.

It begins by asking the question, “What would I be known or remembered for when I am gone?”

I decided to follow them. When we arrived at the graveyard, the Clergyman preached the shortest, most unforgettable sermon I have ever heard.

He said:

"As is our culture in this town, everyone is expected to write his or her last profile and submit to the timekeeper. Today is the day of reckoning. We shall examine Madam Agnes's profile written and submitted 40 years ago to see whether or not she lived by it."

I haven't heard such before. It was very shocking to me. Someone called “The Timekeeper” came and presented her profile to the Clergyman to read out loud.

The whole town was shut down.

There was wailing and crying.

Everyone was heading in one direction.

In my confusion, I stood and watched for a few minutes. No one said a word. The young and old were crying uncontrollably.

“Don’t accept the world as it is. Dream of what the world could be - and then help make it happen.” -  Peter Tatchell

You can make it happen.

Your dream is a possibility. If it wasn’t possible, the divinity wouldn’t have allowed it to be conceived in your mind.

You can design your life the way you want it to happen. You can make life happen from and through you.

We need you to make the change to seek to make.

You can create a new order of humanity through your daily decision in life.

This is my admonition to you today:

First, life happens TO you. Then you CHOOSE to make life happen. Life happens FROM you and finally, Life happens THROUGH you.

The state of 'Life happens to me' is the powerless state of life. A life of survival rather than a life of meaning and contribution.

The best state to be in life is a state where you make life happens to others through you.

In early life, Life happens to most of us. But as we grow and attain maturity the best way to begin to live a life of meaning and contribution is to start making life happens as we choose.

Praise is a positive enemy.

Seek feedback, not praise.

When you receive feedback, filter it, and consume the ones that inspire you to expand your horizon.

Praise can destroy your capacity to do more if you don’t handle it carefully.

“Every time you give someone the power to build you up with praise, you are also unknowingly giving that person the power to destroy you with criticism. Therefore, accept praise and criticism as nothing more than someone else’s expressions of opinion. They have nothing to do with who you really are.” – Vishen Lakhiani

When you are told you are the best. The hole in your heart that is constantly seeking validation gets filled. Your ego rises and sometimes become bloated. This is not healthy for your success.

How do you handle praise?
