TODAY ON FRANKLY SPEAKING – THE IRON LAW OF LIFE. 23-09-2017

The iron law of life! Hmm, the most
critical law in this life is the law of
means. This is the iron law of life.
Means is simply the ability to do, acquire
or achieve something.

Nothing is free in this life, absolutely
nothing. Everything you currently own,
have and enjoy is either borrowed or
purchased. Even your very life – the
breath you take in everyday is borrowed.
You can’t choose how long to live or
when to die, when it is time, the one who
borrowed you the life will come for it.
The almighty owns your life.
A mindset that wants something for
nothing will hardly deliver greatness to
the owner. Anything you want in life, you
must be willing to give or exchange
something for it, either tangible or
intangible.

Even if now you can recall something you
believe you got for free, this iron law of
life expects that you should also pass on
the good or benefit to someone else, if
you do not extend similar gift, help or
assistance you’ve received to other
people, you will eventually lose the
benefits and proceeds from that help you
received.
In most religions, blood pays for the
rights to salvation, grace, forgiveness,
blessings and benefits, this blood
obviously belongs to a person or an
animal, in this life; nothing is free.
If you have any respect for this iron law,
you clearly understand it, and believe it
works, the good news is, you can
actually have ANYTHING you want simply
by offering, giving or sacrificing what it
requires to have it. There’s a price tag
on everything in this life, either tangible
or intangible. If you can pay the right
price, you can absolutely have anything
you want in this life.

The reason many of us are in lack and
live less than glowing lives is because
we don’t want to pay any price or the
required price for that which we need or
want in this life.
In summary, the whole world in matters
of success, progress and prosperity is
governed by this iron law of exchange.
You give something to get much more,
you sow something to reap much more, if
you want anything in this life, you must
give up something, sacrifice the right
thing for that which you want to find its
way into your life.
Now, listen, NO ONE came into this world
with nothing to give in exchange for
something you want. The creator gave all
of us the most valuable resource that
you can exchange for anything you want
in life, that resource is TIME. Time is
money, time is extremely valuable, time
is powerful. Time is the greatest
resource in life. If you want anything but
have no time, I’m afraid you can’t have it.

Your time is your life. The only resource
that is irrecoverable when you’ve lost it
in this life is time.
Dear friend, what do you want in this life?
If you give time to it, if you sacrifice the
right amount of time, you can have it. Let
me break it down.

Your income today is a reflection of how
much time you’ve exchanged for skill
acquisition, capacity development and
knowledge. It is a reflection of how much
time you exchanged in building yourself
to the point of your current value in the
market place and with an employer. It is
a reflection of how much time you
invested in building and developing your
natural and God given talents.

Your employer is not paying you based on
your personal needs, your salary is based
on your worth and value to your
employer. If your role and capacity is
very important to your employer, you’ll
naturally be paid more, if however it is
not so valuable, in that many people can
do what you do and even do it better, and
they’re willing to be paid less, you can’t
earn much with your current value or
worth.

Time is the currency you exchange for
personal improvement and self-value
appreciation. Whatever your job type or
description is, choose to be the best in
your company, choose to be the best in
your industry, choose to be the best in
your state, choose to be the best in
Nigeria? Are you world class in your
capacities and abilities? The best people
in their arts and crafts and professions
are the highest paid in the world. For
them to have emerged the best, so much
time have been sacrificed and exchanged
for improvement and good growth in
ability, skills, performance and
knowledge.

The difference between the
best in any profession, vocation or
venture and the average or mediocre is
simply the amount of time exchanged to
improve performance, ability, capacity
and knowledge.
When you hear the highest paid, the
highest paid, it simply implies the current
best in that field, vocation or skill.

Dear friend, you have the means to
acquire anything you want in life simply
by exchanging the required time for it.
This concept, hence nullifies the belief
that hard work alone makes you rich. Of
course you need to work hard but how
you’re working hard and what you’re
working hard at, is what is more
important.
Just step back in your mind today and
visualize that which you’re working hard
on today. That which you are exchanging
your time for every morning, noon and
night, please how profitable or rewarding
is it eventually?.

What are you exchanging your precious
time for today?
When you know why you’re working and
what you’re working for, where you work
will of course matter. In this life, your
location largely determines your
allocation.
My dear friend, what do you want in life?

The reason you’ll follow the majority and
popular opinion about career,
employment or business is because you
don’t really know what you want, hence
you don’t know what price to pay or even
where to pay it.

Working hard with the sole aim of
becoming rich does not make good
sense, it is actually an illusion because
being rich is a consequence, not a goal.
Dear friend, what do you want in your
future? What you want will determine
what you give time to, what you
exchange your precious time for.
Knowing the time price for the future you
want will help you know how much time
you need to give up for that future
desire. Knowing how much you need to
earn, will guide you in how much work
you need to carry out on yourself, you
would need to know the competence and
productivity required to acquire all that
you want in life.

Dear friend, the most precious resource
in this life is time, exchange it for the
necessary ability, capacity, skills,
network, knowledge, exposure, training
and mastery you need to be able to earn
the things you want in your future.
If where you work, what you sell, the
business you own, your skills and abilities
today cannot deliver the kind of future
you’re picturing in your mind, you know
you’re not there yet and you need to
work harder on yourself.

The iron law of life is to give your most
precious resource which is time to build
yourself up, become extremely valuable
to attract all you desire in your future
and you will get it. Stop the hustle, start
building you, Start now.
