UNLOCKING LIFELONG VITALITY

oh hello beautiful people today I'm 

going for a little walk and I'm going to 

take you along and I want to talk to you 

about some vital lessons that I've 

learned in my life because as you know 

life is a journey right and it's filled 

with ups and downs sometimes we rise 

sometimes we fall and I have learned 

some vital lessons many of them I've 

shared in my book no regrets just 

lessons and I selected 10 of them that 

I'm going to share with you today as I 

go on this little stroll and tend to my 

plants water a few if I have to so come 

along with me and let's have this 

conversation because because you know 

regardless of who we are what our 

background is and how we were brought up 

or where we're coming from we're going 

to have struggles we're going to have 

challenges but being able to identify 

and then learn from them it's going to 

set you apart from everyone else now the 

first lesson on the list is 

1. If you don't rule your mind it will rule you:

 Our thoughts are powerful so we must ensure that they are always positive. Your 

mind is a powerful weapon think of it 

like this, your thoughts are the seeds 

and your life is the garden. Plant seeds 

of doubt, negativity and fear will guess 

what Sprouts up but if you nurture those 

seeds with positivity confidence and 

belief your life blossoms into a 

masterpiece now. I am very deliberate in 

ruling my mind and I do so by staying away from negativity especially online but also 

offline. I remind myself with positive 

affirmations and whenever I feel a 

negative thought coming on I rebuke it 

in the name of Jesus and I focus on 

positive thinking.

2. Your life your rules:

It's so easy to get caught up in 

what others expect of us, "isn't it" but 

here's the thing; it's your life, you're 

the director, you're the screenwriter, you 

are the star of your show, own the 

choices that you make, own the mistakes 

that you make but also remember to own 

your victories, walk your path it's your 

life, your errors in judgment and your 

lessons. The power to create the life of 

your dreams it actually resides with you.

3. Failure is an excellent source of wisdom: 

See it for exactly what it is. Reframing 

failure as a learning opportunity is key to your growth. Failure isn't the end, it's just a detour think of it as a GPS recalculating. Do you know how, when you get lost. The GPS says at the next left make a uturn. The next time you fail just make a uturn and do your best to avoid going down that road again that's how you learn from it. Every setback every 

oops is an opportunity to learn to grow 

and to find a new route to your 

destination.

4. Never stop learning:

Continuous education is key. You know how they like to say curiosity killed the cat well I like to say curiosity fueled the dreamer. The world is our classroom and everyone that you 

meet is going to have something to share 

regardless of where they're from in life, what their background is, so stay hungry for knowledge in the process. You are never done learning and everyone has wisdom to share. d

Don't look down on anyone, stay curious because continuous learning and growth are essential for achieving your goal.

5. Time doesn't last forever: 

You can only experience a moment in time once so you know what you need to make it 

count. Time is precious don't waste it. Imagine you have a bank account where 

$86,400 is deposited every single day, you can't save it, you can't roll it over, you have to spend it all. That’s time, invest it wisely. You will never get back a moment you have lost, so it's important that you value your time and make the most of each opportunity.

 6. Choose your passion over your paycheck or at least make sure that they're aligned because you live a Fuller and happier life.

Life in essence do what you love I was 

blessed to have a career with a job that 

I absolutely loved for close to 25 years 

I may not have loved some of the company 

decisions that were made while I worked 

for these organizations but I loved 

serving my people and also serving our 

clients and I have learned so much from 

it I'm very grateful but nothing beats 

my own business and doing what what I 

love as I help others to rise and live 

in abundance look we spend a huge chunk 

of Our Lives working if you're not 

passionate about it you're not living 

you're just existing find your passion 

or at least find a way to infuse passion 

into what you do finding fulfillment in 

work is vital for long-term 

happiness

7. Always ask for what you want 

ask and it shall be 

received I'm sure you have heard the 

popular saying ask and you shall receive 

this isn't some genie in a bottle trick 

it's about having the courage to ask for 

what you want and also to go after your 

dreams the worst thing that can happen 

is someone say no right they can turn 

you over on their knee and slap you 

absolutely not and they cannot send you 

to the naughty corner so why do we fear 

no so much it's because of our ego tone 

that ego down because if you are not 

hearing plenty of nose you're not 

challenging the status quo enough to 

make a difference when I got my first 

major promotion I got an increase that 

tripled my existing pay and for that I 

was grateful but it was not what the 

person person who occupied the role that 

I was being promoted to was being paid 

so it means I would be settling for less 

than I deserve or they would be 

undermining me for that position by 

paying me significantly less than the 

role actually paid so I asked for their 

pay and the benefits and initially I got 

no but let us give you a little bit more 

and insisted on being paid for my value 

eventually the answer was yes and I 

share the story in details in my book no 

regrets just lessons but can you imagine 

where I would be today if I did not ask 

being grateful for the pay raise that 

tripled my salary was good but demanding 

that I be paid what the position was 

worth and what the person occupying the 

role previously is earning allowed me to 

make the kind of money 

I never thought possible in my lifetime 

especially at the tender age of 

22 don't be afraid to go after what you 

desire or to ask for what you 

want lesson eight who you were in the 

past it's not a determinant of who 

you'll be in the future listen we all 

have history good bad and and in between 

but that's all it is history don't let 

it hold you hostage you have the power 

to write a new chapter a brighter future 

we are all capable of personal growth 

and change so stop allowing your past to 

determine your 

destiny come

this is the bush way of cleaning fruit 

you bite a piece of it and then you use 

the 

inside to clean the fruit before eating 

[Music] 

it juicy 

and this is star fruit or 

jimin put in the comments what it's 

called where you 

live lesson nine forget the things that 

hurt you but never forget the lessons 

that they taught you forgive but don't 

forget pain is inevitable but suffering 

is optional holding on to hurt is like 

drinking poison and expecting the other 

person to die just think about that for 

a moment instead I want you to forgive 

heal but never forget the lessons that 

you learned when someone hurt 

you and lesson 10 is this to Shall 

Pass tough times heartbreak 

challenges remember they're not 

permanent like the waves of the ocean 

they EB and they flow hold on tight ride 

the wave and know that smoother waters 

are ahead Time Heals almost everything 

this too shall 

pass so remember we're not perfect and 

that's okay we're going to make mistakes 

and that's okay as well what's key is 

that we learn from them and as I say in 

my book well the title for my book is no 

regrets just lessons until next time 

walk good
