TODAY ON FRANKLY SPEAKING – SOMETHING HAS TO CHANGE. 27-08-2017

As humans our minds a renewable. We
can easily be influenced, brainwashed
and made to accept new facts, new
truths, new theories and even new lies.
Our mind is like a sponge, ready made
and prepared to absorb any information

we come across either good, bad, true,
untrue, productive, destructive, scary or
motivating. Our minds are designed to
absorb and retain what we mostly hear
and see daily. We then go ahead to
interpret these information within the
context of our emotions, exposure,
ambition and fears and consequently
order our lives in consonance with what

we’ve accepted as the truth or as the
reality within the confines of our
exposure.

Dear friend, not everything you believe is
the truth. Not everything you’ve accepted

is the fact and guess what, today’s truth
and facts may become tomorrow’s errors
and lies because life keeps evolving,
changing and progressing. What works
today may fail woefully tomorrow.
Driverless cars, self-driving cars for
example are about to hit the market.
Twenty years ago, this appeared
impossible, even now I wonder how this
will happen in a city like Lagos. But I
assure you one day, we shall all see it.
The nature of our minds and the
dynamics of our world unfortunately are

the powers that trap us and tend to
wrest control of our lives out of our
hands.
Many of us today, frankly speaking are
not in charge. We are not in control of
our lives. We are working and walking
within the dictates of what we’ve
accepted as the facts of life. And these
so called facts of life keep leading,
shaping and dictating our activities and
daily endeavors.

Who told you life must be hard, tough,
rough and boring to make it meaningful?

Who told you, you have to be mean,
ruthless, selfish and insensitive to
become a billionaire? Who told you all
billionaires are criminals or cultists? Who
told you the poor are poor because of
the greed of the rich? Who told your
formal education is the key to success?
Who told you everyone is a victim of a
bad economic situation? Who told you
paid employment offers job security?
Who told you entrepreneurship is a
product of nature and can’t be learnt?
Who told you being broke today means
you can never become rich? Who told
you being rich or poor is a permanent
status? Who told you hard work alone can
make you rich?

Ladies and gentlemen, these are
theories, these are beliefs that most of
us have learnt and hold as a matter of
fact and hence, these keep directing,
leading, informing and channeling the
course and direction of our lives.

Because of some or all of these beliefs,
many of us are not truly happy, satisfied,
peaceful and calm in our souls. We have
troubled souls, troubled minds, frustrated
in will and can’t get a good handle of
how we really want to live our lives.
We’re tossed back and forth by the
waves of these beliefs that are deep
seated within our minds. These believes
hold us captive and have taken over our
powers! We have become subjected and
subjugated in life, not as a result of what
is happening around, but as victims of
what’s happening within our souls.
We lose our joy when others appear to
be doing better than us in life, We lose
our peace when our employments appear

threatened, our highs and lows,
happiness or melancholy are directly
linked to our bank balances. We chase
things not because we love them or want
them or need them but because society
says it’s cool to have them and they
automatically become a must have for us
as well.

Dear friend, it’s time to take it back. Its
time you take back control over your
soul. It is highly unprofitable to gain the
whole world and lose your soul. It’s time
you take back the control over your
future, your time, your life, your family
and your business.
Some of these beliefs are so deadly and
have affected us so badly some of us
actually feel guilty when we’re relaxing
and resting instead of working hard, when
we’re uneasy spending time with family
instead of being at work, we’re condemn
ourselves when we’re sleeping instead of
making more money.

A life of balance
makes us feel guilty. This is not good.
Many of us are stuck with the sad, the
hard, the rough and the tough side of life
and have chosen to accept that as the
realities of life. We see happy and worry
free people as unserious, playful and
potential failures and we label friendly
people as mischievous.
We’ve lost the appetite for fun, we work
very hard for money, yet feel guilty when
we spend this money pampering
ourselves.

Your own money has become more
powerful than you, your job now owns
you and your soul has been reconfigured
to feel bad and guilty when you show
love to yourself and take good care of
yourself. Even your health has become
secondary when your job beckons.
Dear friend, it is time. Something has to
change. Your freedom must appear
today. Your soul deserves freedom and
rest. Now you have to take control.
Stop! Okay, just stop, stop running, sit
back, it’s your life, it must be run by you,

its time you build it your way. Regain
control of your soul today by following
these simple but very powerful and
effective steps.

1. Set Goals.
Set family goals, set financial goals, set
personal development goals, set health
and fitness goals, set relationship goals
and set dream goals.

2.Put plans behind these goals.
A plan is when you set activities, time
and target to goals. Financial goals for
example is how much do you want, when
do you want it, how will you get it?
Health and fitness goals could include
how much weight you want to gain or
lose, eating habits, exercise, your body
PH balance, your stress levels and blood
pressure.

3. Get help.
Find a qualified life coach not just an
eloquent speaker. Get a business, career
or finance coach to show you how to
achieve your goals in these regards. Get
a psychologist to help you deal with
anxiety, depression, insecurity and low
self-esteem. Get a spiritual mentor. A
spiritual mentor may not hold any
religious office or position, but that
spiritual person has your time, knows
how to pray hard, connect with divinity,
win spiritual battles with you and can
bring you on-point revelation without
asking for any offering. A spiritual person
on assignment from God.

4. Transform
Become different. No contest or
competition with anybody. No more
politics or games at work or at home.
Be at peace within, seek peace with
everyone, treat people well not because
they deserve it, but because you won’t
let them bring you low.

5. Change your world.
Avoid toxic and negative people, run
away from vile critics, avoid people who
focus on your weaknesses, find
motivators, encouragers and people who
like you sincerely. Keep company with
positive, progressive and passionate
people. Keep company with people who
will truly bless your soul. Dear friend,
taking these simple steps will definitely
set your soul free. You shouldn’t
continue living this life of desperation
and weight. Find rest for your souls.
Don’t just keep enduring life, it’s time to
