LIVE LOVE LEARN GROW
I will be sharing my personal lessons and quote from this wonderful book, watch this space. @LiveLoveLearnGr @seunoyeniran #3LG

Chapter 1: Only one life
When you understand the brevity of life, you will learn how to make wise use of each day. It's not waiting till new year's resolution time. It is waking up today and maximize the power of each day. @seunoyeniran @LiveLoveLearnGr

it is better to invest in live stock (people) than to invest in stock market. Though it may not give back immediate financial or material reward but they will in turn become better off.

Instead of being obsessed over things you can't control, focus on what you can control and leave the rest to God . You've got only one life, live it intentionally, positively, purposefully and practically.
@seunoyeniran @LiveLoveLearnGr

To be continue...

Chapter 2: Dream Big, You are a Divine Original
There is no other person like me in the whole universe.
Seeing God's big picture and your position in it is called VISION. Living in reality by doing the work God has designed for your life is called PURPOSE @LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 3: You Can Choose To Change Yout Story
Except you have successfully grafted yourself in a growth environment where words that stirs up are the norm, beware of external value forces. @LiveLoveLearnGr

We must ensure that what passes through the gates of our minds are true.
Life experiences could be critical but more importantly our responses to them can be critically more important. @LiveLoveLearnGr @seunoyeniran @channonoyeniran

Chapter 4: You Are A Shining And Burning light.
The solution to darkness (problems, challenges, decadence etc) of the world is to introduce light, and Jesus said you are the light of the world. But you need to shine that light. Noise making won't solve the problem of darkness.

Chapter 5: You Have a Divine Pathway - And a Note On Mentorship.
The pathways God placed everyone of us on is different and is uniquely designed to fit our gifts, talents and competency.
Life is a journey not a competition.
@LiveLoveLearnGr #3LG

Mentorship should be about creating leaders and not followers or copycats
Avoid mindlessly copying or unhealthy competing.

Steps to know your Divine Pathway
1. Seek to know the designer - God
2. Pray for a revelation of the blueprint - the map for the journey.
3. Follow your unique pathway.

Continuation... Incase you don't know, there are 32 chapters in this book @LiveLoveLearnGr , the summary of each chapter I'm giving is just a tip of the iceberg, you need to go deep into the iceberg (book) to really get all the revelation.

You can dedicate each chapter for each day you don't have to rush it, within a month you will complete it by reading two chapters on the last day of the month . Let me go back and continue my summary on each chapter

Chapter 6: You are a Leader
As a Divine original, you are born to lead.
It is important to note that despite being a leader in one area, you can be a follower of member elsewhere.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

The beauty of leadership is the ability know when and where to become a follower without losing your leadership qualities.
Whenever you are called into leadership, handle your task with poise, courage, commitment and determination.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 7: Good Leadership Cures Many Things.
As a good leader , for you to be effective you need certain skills that can be developed through value appropriation.
People are the center of everything and leadership needs to pay attention to nurturing them.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Servant leadership is the best form of leadership.
It is a type of leadership that operates bottom-up, people oriented model. It has an effective problem distillation approach where they can identify issues and trouble shoot adequately. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 8: Self esteem is good, Christ esteem is the best.
The world is full of uncertainty and unpredictability but those of us that live by faith and out our trust in God will love above dear of uncertainty.

With Christ at the centre of your core belief system, by applying the truth in the Scripture, you can move from a negative self worth to a valuable one. A secure foundation in Christ is always the well spring of confidence in a world of uncertainty. @LiveLoveLearnGr

To be continue...

Chapter 9: Stand for Something in Life.
An empty sac will always flow with the wind
We need to move from being an end receivers to becoming creative contributors and actors in the events of life.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

People that stand for something may not be popular but you will always find them to be of benefit to others.

Chapter 10: Integrity; The Badge for Long Term Success.
Integrity doesn't cut corners yet it doesn't mean inefficiency.
With integrity, influence is sustained, power maintained and trust obtained
Integrity is doing the right thing.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Integrity is long term and those taking shortcuts, cutting corners, and bending rules cant make it long term.
People will remember you ost, not for what you say, or the color of your dress but by how you treat them. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 11: Creating New Realities
Your current situation don't have to define your destiny.
Always learn to accept what you cannot control and focus on what you can control.
No matter what circumstances you are, you can create a new reality. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Remember God may not necessarily change the situation but He will take you through the process.

Chapter 12: Become Vision Oriented
Vision is the ability to see through the invisible, intangible and inconsequential things to create something of value and significance.
What differentiates an ordinary man from an extraordinary man is the quality of their vision

Vision is having a clear grasp of where we are coming from, where we are now, and projecting into the future.
Vision has the capacity to attract both humans, natural and nonnatural resources.
Vision makes you very focused and disciplined @LiveLoveLearnGr

Things you should know about God's given vision
1. It comes through the outpouring of the HolySpirit upon the heart.
2. It always informs the application of unique gifts and talents for solving bigger problems.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

3. It is usually to bring greater good to humanity and ultimately brings glory to God.

Chapter 13: Dare The Impossible.
Dreaming big dreams preceded doing big things
Learn to have a big picture mindset. Pray for it!
Living purposeful and authentic lives will mean threading pathways you may not see with human eyes but by trusting God for daily leadership.

People that operate with the supernatural ability of the Holy Spirit not only see the invisible, they also do the impossible.
Those that believe the invisible and dare the impossible are the ones that change the world.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

End of Part One - LIVE
Continues tomorrow by God's grace

So sorry, I was unable to post yesterday 2/Sept/2020 due to unforeseen circumstances. But thank God for the gift of today. I will continue from where I stopped the last time.

PART TWO - LOVE

Chapter 14: Embrace Unity in Diversity
Unity of mind, purpose, and vision is essential for anyone who wants to work collaboratively with others. Love and unity always appear to go hand in hand.

It is important to keep in mind that diversity creates both strength and values to any group of people or organization that embraces it
Everyone is valuable and important before God.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 15: Heroes Of Faith And The Great Cloud of Witness
We can create an environment of spiritual, material, and economic growth by exploring and self-same pathway of faith they present to us.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

We can look and learn from the past to make our today and future different, better and hopeful

Chapter 16: Become More Relatable
Having healthy relationships is the most important key to living a happy life.
Top 12 ideas to become more relatable:
1. Embrace the richness and diversity in others.
2. Be willing to have sincere conversations.
3. Be humble.
4. Be honest.

5. Always give out a helping hand.
6. Smile always
7. Look at people in the face when talking to them. (This might not be applicable in Africa where some people think is a sign of disrespect)
8. Listen more and talk less.
9. Be a person of integrity.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

10. Avoid gossips and other non-constructive talks about others.
11. Be patient with others, especially difficult people.
12. Focus on complementarity, not competition.

Chapter 17: The Power Of Solitude (My favorite chapter in this book)
Time of solitude is a time for effective reflection and meditation.
Solitude allows us to refresh, renew, resharpen our focus, and stay motivated as we continue the journey.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Maximizing the power of solitude requires meditation.
If you want to be a man of value, you need to embrace and apply the power of solitude.
Practice this always...
"Before any action, practice solitude, after every action, a solitude moment is required" @LiveLoveLearnGr

Solitude time may seem time-wasting, but it is not, it is time invested.
But how do you serve effectively, offer unique contributions, and add value to others if you don't first take time to build yourself and add value to yourself?

Always avoid "analysis paralysis" in solitude, a situation where you think about an issue to the point where there is no result.

Chapter 18: The Power Of The Cross
The calvary road is narrow and could sometimes feel lonely but there is peace, joy, security, and abundance.
Calvary is also a place where creativity and vision and ideas that will change our world can be birthed
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 19: Love Is The Greatest - Become Part Of It's Revolution
We must choose to love not "because of" but "in spite of". This is the very way we were first loved too.

End of Part Two - LOVE
Part three LEARN continues

PART THREE - LEARN begins
Chapter 20: The Power Off Teamwork
The V-formation of Geese flying is a typical example of teamwork. When the geese fly together in this pattern, they fly by 70% farther with the same energy if one goose fly alone. They reach their destination...

... earlier with less energy when they fly together.
It's true we can do certain things all by ourselves. But when we work collaboratively as team, we not only do more, we accomplish more.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

People that recognize their calling and potential find it easy to work with others without any sentiment, ill feeling, envy or jealousy. The beauty of vision and the clarity of purpose that comes with it is that you get to quickly recognize what you can and can't do.

Chapter 21: Embrace Positive Change
Change doesn't necessarily have to be sudden or immediate.
You need to come out of your comfort zone to embrace change.
We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are. @LiveLoveLearnGr

A quick correction in chapter 20 title, it's THE POWER OF TEAMWORK not "off"

Chapter 22: Trading In The Invisible
The invisible realm is a workspace where those with mature 6th sense operate. The 6th sense is the realm of being present, conscious, and aware in your spiritual environment.

The place of solitude empowers the 6th sense. The Holy Spirit works with our spirit to perfect our 6th sense.
Trading in the invisible is what usually occurs in the place of solitude.

Trading in the invisible is allowing the person of the Holy Spirit of God to permeate our internal and external atmosphere as we trade our mundane qualities for supernatural ones.
Trading in the invisible is gaining access to things not yet seen and that are yet to come.

Chapter 23: Failing Forward
The realities of life are we make mistakes and sometimes we utterly fail.
We must learn to fail forward by not letting the fear of failure cripple our creativity and passion in life.
@LiveLoveLearnGr @seunoyeniran

We must look at failure from a different lens recognizing that not attempting to try in the first case would have been the actual failure.
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.

Chapter 24: How We Manage Conflicts Tells Who We Truly Are
How people treat you is their own reality, how you respond is yours.

If your emotional abilities aren't in hand, if you don't have self-awareness, if you are not able to manage your distressing emotions, if you can't have empathy and have effective relationships, then no matter how smart are you, you are not going to get very far.

Chapter 25: True Greatness - It Goes Beyond Mere Success
More than being successful, however, living significantly and leaving a positive, lasting legacy in the life of others are more important. That is true greatness.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Humility and a heart of service have something to do with true Greatness.
True greatness is that which will be relevant even after time is over.
Money, material things, and physical substances will become less important at one point.

It is only a humble vessel and sold-out life for Christ that will connote true greatness.
Only the meek will experience true greatness in the end, not the proud.
Our blessedness is a function of our brokenness. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 26: Embrace Constructive Criticism
Your response to criticism should be peace, patient, and long-suffering.
We shouldn't be distracted by the medium through which criticism is delivered. We should learn to filter through the noise and access the wisdom we can gain.

END OF PART THREE- LEARN

PART FOUR - GROW
Chapter 27
Personal Growth: Take Responsibility
Personal development and growth shouldn't just be a goal, it should be a lifestyle.
Make sure whatever you want to experience growth in is measurable, has direction, and is sustainable.

Chapter 28: Breaking Loose From Your Inertia
It's one thing to embrace change, it's another thing to see change as an opportunity for growth.
One can change without growth but growth cannot occur without change. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Try something new. If positive change is not imposed on you by an external factor(say a leader, trainer, or a mentor), make every effort to impose it on yourself. @LiveLoveLearnGr

Chapter 29: Growth Not Just Goals
Don't ignore the process and run after the rewards.
Growth? The ability to accept responsibilities.
Setting goals is great but more than that, it is important to grow up.
@LiveLoveLearnGr

Growing up in patience, perseverance, and long-suffering produces a good, strong character.

Chapter 30: Take A Journey, Expand Your Horizon.
When we travel, not only do we truly appreciate the place where we are from, we also get to correct false beliefs and opinions about certain places and people.

Personal experiences help us to correct false opinions or made up realities.
In its most effective form, traveling exposes us to great learning opportunities and challenges us to grow and get better in any particular area we find most relevant or challenging.

Chapter 31: Become A Value-Oriented Individual
An Individual that has developed a continuous value-adding lifestyle usually brings value to the environment they operate. Value-oriented individuals are outstanding assets ti any institution. @LiveLoveLearnGr

We are seeing more and more that it is men and women who are seasoned-champions that can bring about lasting positive change in our society.
How to become a value-oriented individual
Read Mark 3: 14, 1 Kings 6: 7

See, when we take the time and effort to be built, nurtured, taught, equipped in the proper way, it makes our manifestation look effortless.
It is the value you carry that corrects and resonates with like-minded people.

Chapter 32: A Good Growth Mindset
It is the preconditioning by exposure t information that makes the mind unique.
Mindsets are shaped by what we take in.
How to cultivate a growth mindset
Step 1: Be aware of your negative thoughts as they occur.

Step 2: Re-label those negative thoughts.
step 3: Re-focus your attention to a positive activity.
Step 4: Re-value your situation from a loving and caring perspective to eventually change your beliefs about yourself.
NB: When you commit yourself to growth everybody wins.

THE END

Wow... what a thread!
Those are just my personal jottings from the book.
I appreciate the authors @seunoyeniran and @channonoyeniran for giving themselves to selfless service unto God.
