LIVING IN THE MOMENT/PRESENT

-
   "Presence is the key to freeedom, you can only be free now"
                         Eckhart Tolle 

The present is a period of time that is happening NOW. It is existing or occurring right NOW.
As Humans we constantly live in our minds through thoughts, consciously or unconsciously. Most times it's unconscious and it has become a Norm and of course it's natural to think but about what exactly?

Is it about the Past or the future? Sometimes we just sit somewhere and before we know it we are long gone, deep in thoughts about yesterday's Now or Tomorrow's Now. What we really don't realize is that living in these thoughts is depriving of one thing, LIVING IN THE MOMENT. We are so caught up with all forms of fear, unease, anxiety, stress and worry because of too much of FUTURE and not enough PRESENCE. At the same time we are caught up with all forms of non-forgiveness, guilt, regret, resentment, grievance, sadness and bitterness because of too much of the PAST and not enough PRESENCE.
I know the question is if I don't think about the past/future won't I make the same mistake or how I am going to work towards the future. Note, there is a clear difference between setting goals for the future and worrying about it. And there is also a clear difference between referring to the past and living in it. Refer to the past and think about the future when it's needed, practically.
Some because of too much worry, fear and non-forgiveness have ran into depression and all forms of disorder, some go as far as trying to get away from themselves through suicide and the likes, some result into short term pleasure,  thereby getting addicted to drugs, smoke  and the likes when all they really need to do is LIVE IN THE MOMENT. I hear someone say what if the present  is not very nice or something? Well  You will need to take action right? That can only be done NOW. 
Create a new past for tomorrow by LIVING IN THIS MOMENT. 
Have you ever asked a smoker how they feel when smoking, they don't think or worry about anything they live in the NOW ( I am not saying you should go and be smoking ooo LOL)just LIVE IN THE MOMENT. Learn to let go.
You know I love you right? Thanks for reading and sharing ...... I know you are gonna share

The rules of starting!

 Day 1 🌴 " One of the riskiest things you can do in life is to take too many precautions…" John Mason        Do you already have an idea? Have you written it down? Gained clarity in bits? Planned towards birthing the idea then you don't need any other rules, you are good to go!    Let me guess, you were expecting rule  #1 Wash your hands #2  Open the door e.t.c Is there one thing I've learnt over time, it's the fact that you can't have it all figured out in the beginning, you just have to set the ball rolling and stay through the process. That would be because a lot of factors can be attached to that business idea or purpose you want to launch into that are beyond your control.     An example of that would be the people factor, you can't control people from the onset, you don't know how their decisions will affect you, you don't even know the road they would take. So in essence, " Trying to figure it all ou...

Brand identity!

-
Day 4🌴 Brand identity is how people notice your brand, it's also how they remember your brand. Brand identity is built by consistently owning a feature, could be a color, voice, logo, your face, tagline, name or nickname.    Brand identity doesn't have to communicate what you do, for example, First Bank, their brand logo is somewhat an elephant, it doesn't in any way relate to keeping money, this particular feature differentiates them from Access Bank which uses a logo, I can't put another name aside Access Bank to. Whenever I see both bank's logo without their names, I remember the banks. These logos are: Simple Distinct: it's particular to both brands  Appropriate    These brands also have colors that are specific to them. Building brand identity with color can be tricky at times because colors are somewhat limited. In some cases two brands use the same color and we still find a way to relate it to them only, as in First Bank uses the color blue,...

Brand Value Growth

-
  Day 10 🌴 I would like to apply the growth principles in microorganisms to value growth in brands, it follows this order: lag phase, log phase, stationary and decline phase.   When microorganisms are cultured in agar with adequate nutrient, and sufficient supply of all their growth factors, they first utilise or let's say get used to the agar that is the lag phase . Upon successful interaction they grow rapidly in the agar this is the log phase.    Due to the fact that nutrient is not being replaced as used the growth hit the stationary phase and as time goes on, they experience decline in their growth.   Brand Value growth follows this order too, only, you can keep adding value to avoid the stationary and decline phase. When a growth journey starts, it most likely feels like it isn't yielding results, but as time goes on you begin to see exponential returns on your investment, but if you stop adding value, the stationary phase sets in and in ...
