How has the soaring gone Alphasoars? Today, on our checkpoint
section we are going to talk about something interesting, Always Motivating,
Also Enlightening, All sides, All views and All yours.
Where do you get inspiration? What motivates you do what you
do? Where do you get that spur, that
burning desire? Today, I shall with my small mind list five things that I have
observed that give people the stimuli they need to succeed.
The five of things I think could spur people to greater
heights hereinafter called mind stimuli include; Love, Music, Mutual Suffering
and Friendship, Alcohol and Fear. The first three are positives while the last
two are destructive but as I watched down the history of achievements looking
at the lives of people that did exploits on their fields I realize that some
did their best when under the influence of Alcohol or Fear.
However, before I go any further I want you to know that the
negative effect of Alcohol and Fear in the life of an achiever is much in
relative to its positive effect. Therefore I would still not recommend both to
you as mind stimuli. I wrote a post on drugs and its effects on this section
Here!!!
So the question is how it happens that the aforementioned can
stimulate you. Many people if asked where they wanted to be, the reply would
always be ‘the top’. They have that dream of getting to a great height, but
looking at them critically, they have no motivation to succeed. Love motivates
in a great way. When you look at the lives of people that succeed in life, you
are going to by no doubt find out that they were motivated to success by the
love showered on them by their parents, their friends or their mentors.
When a person witnesses love, I mean love in a greater
dimension, where the one putting the fire under him has to overlook his
frailties and keep giving him the needed support, I don’t see such a person
remaining at the level of mediocrity for a long time. Love conquers all.
Music has effect on the listener for sure. But the effect can
be determined by the way the message, the tone and lyrics is been presented.
Music plays a major role in turning your subconscious mind in a second. How?
The singer or musician through his mind composed the music maybe for
entertainment or more especially the one that has a lesson in it and as you
listen to it, you will see that he has released a thought or a picture of an
idea into you. And with that, you see yourself standing up, as if you just woke
from a dream land with a fresh thought to attain your desired height ACCORDING
TO THE CONSCIOUS THOUGHT IN THE MIND OF THE MUSICIAN PASSED THROUGH THE LYRICS,
TONE OF THE MUSIC TO YOU.
Music across the ages has been a way of passing message
across to individuals at one point or the other. I know you have heard of the
talking drum of our brother, the Yoruba. They tell you that the rhythmical
sounds they make with the drum have a lot of things to tell the listener, ‘one
who understands it’.
A great care should therefore be taken by the listener to
music to know what effect each music you listen to will have on you. Music has
great power.
When I talk about Mutual Suffering and friendship I did a
careful observation at the Apostles of Christ in the Holy Bible. You will
notice that by careful observation that the Apostles attained greater heights
in their various ministries by looking fully well at their friend and master.
They would always rejoice that they were counted worthy to suffer for Christ
and the gospel’s sake. Some of them would have escaped death at one point or
the other but with that attachment they had with Christ, they always prefers to
suffer to attain greatness, to go to heaven and meet Jesus so there were always
ready to die.
In America, Martin Luther King Jnr. made that famous speech,
‘I Have a Dream’. That speech was seen to have come to a great realization in
America but would you know that after he died there were people, say, his
friends who took up that decision to pursue that course no matter what and
today it’s becoming a reality.
As you soar in life, you can be greatly stimulated to achieve
greatness when you see your friend soaring here, even higher than you at the
moment. You can also be spurred when they begin to tell you how they were able
to get to where they are and then you pick up the challenge to also get there.
Sometimes it could be that you are with your friend and both of you have agreed
on achieving some set of goals and suddenly he is not there for good. By ‘for
good’, I mean he didn’t just leave you for selfish reasons but for reasons and
circumstances that were beyond his control, maybe disease, imprisonment or even
death. And because of that mutual attachment between the both of you, you will
always seek a way to achieve those goals.
Some people achieve some undisputable heights due to fear.
This could be fear for poverty, fear of death or even fear for criticism. Some
people always shiver when they hear of poverty. With this they tend to go extra
mile to make sure they are stable academically, financially and all way round
so they could run away far from poverty. Some it is the fear of death, they
feel that ‘I might die in a moment I don’t know’ and this tends to spur them
and push them to attain heights you can never imagine. This happens much when
they individual feels insecure maybe about his family in that no one might take
care of his family if he dies. So he tries to meet up some long term goals to
secure his family’s future and all that.
There are people that are always pissed off when they are
criticized. And they don’t want such statements as, ‘your mates are succeeding
and you are not’, your JUNIOR brother has this and you don’t’ and or ‘why is it
that you can’t even achieve a small goal of killing an ant’. They feel ‘they
are nothing if they don’t achieve this goal or that goal’. At this point, their
mind is stimulated to achieve their set goals.
The stimuli gotten from fear are always destructive as you
tend to make many fatal and irreparable mistakes in life.
So tell me what stimulates you as you soar high!

years without getting up?
Happy Soaring!!!
