3 LAWS OF EXCEPTIONALITY (2)

Hello Dear Reader. In the first post on The 3 Laws of Exceptionality, I shared on the Law of Giving. In this post we will take on the second law. As a reminder, it is not what you know that really makes the difference but what you do with what you learn. I personally make conscious efforts to put into practice everything I learn immediately I leave the place of learning. That way, it gets built into my system and subconscious pretty faster because I am carrying it out with the enthusiasm I had when I learned it. If you allow the passion and energy to wane before you practice these laws, you may not get maximum results. You are the architect of your own destiny; I am just a guide and consultant. You are the builder, I am the observer. Guess what? I am just as busy building my own life as well. So you will be better off considering it a privilege to get a little of my attention since I am just as busy as you are. Before you get into reading the next law, if you missed my FREE E-book Gift in my last post, here is another opportunity to get it. Simply leave a comment about this post below, and be sure to include your e-mail address. You will receive your gift within 24 hours.

The Law of Obedience

True obedience is prompt and precise.

There are two concepts that try to discredit this law. They are partial obedience and delayed obedience. If I must lay things straight, the end does not justify the means. There are some things that are not to be rationalized. Let me give you a quick example: Suppose you are CEO of GE, and you tell your personal assistant “Sam, can you please get this cup of coffee off my table? I need to get down to work right away.” Sam responds that he will be right back to do what you have asked him to do; only that he just wants to deliver the files you handed to him earlier to the accounting department and HR. While Sam is away, your secretary walks in with a document for you to sign from the COO. Remembering that the cup of coffee is still on your table, you ask the secretary to get rid of it. She leaves the document before you, grabs the cup of coffee, wipes the table dry and heads out immediately. She returns within a few minutes to continue with the signing she earlier came in to do. While you are signing the document, Sam returns to execute the new instruction of getting the cup of coffee off your table only to realize that it’s been done already. Now tell me, who obeyed you? Sam or your secretary?

Obedience to God, authority figures, your intuition and your conscience – if it must count in your favor – must be prompt and precisely executed. What is instructed must not be incompletely executed nor should it be delayed for anything. We must learn to correctly discern what is important all the time, especially in the workplace. Partial obedience and delayed obedience are snags to experiencing the extraordinary results that should follow ever act of obedience. True obedience guarantees favor, strengthens reputation and enhances dependability. If you really want to obey, don’t delay and don’t rationalize. Do just what was instructed immediately.

THE 3 LAWS OF EXCEPTIONALITY

Have you wondered what the greatest of men in the history of the world did to become so exceptional? Of a truth, there are stars and there are superstars, and there is a whole world of difference between them.  A wise man opined that “the secret of men is in their daily routine” meaning that there are things that these people did that made them so exceptional. In The Outliers, Malcolm Gladwell is of the opinion that the outliers–those people that engendered extraordinary results–performed so not just because of what they did but also because of where they are from. I totally agree with him and I suggest that you make the most of your background and all the advantages that it offers you in your quest for an exceptional life. But in this post, I am going to dwell on those things you need to do to make your life count maximally. Knowing and taking advantage of your background, you must do the right things also to be really exceptional. That is what Effectiveness is all about; and that is my message to you.

Just yesterday, Goldie, a Nigerian Music Star and one of the faces at Big Brother Africa died of pulmonary embolism in the wee hours of Friday, February 16, 2013. Shocking as it was, it reinforced the fact that you have such a brief lifetime to be all that you are made to be. At the most, you have twenty years atop a century. And if you are reading this, I would guess that you have consumed the twenty years over and above the century mark. If the reports of the UNFPA are anything to go by, life expectancy is not more than 90 years in any country in the world. Going by this, it tells that you are, at the moment, left with less than 70 years to be all that you were born to be. That calls for some reasons to be serious and intentional about each and every moment of your life; especially NOW!

Exceptionality. What does it mean? The closest word to it is Uniqueness. You are the only you that ever existed, currently exists and will ever exist on this earth. God has not run out of genetic combinations to repeat one combination in all the time the world has been in existence. That tells me that you have one life that is unique in all its ramifications. There is no one that can behave, perform and influence the world in the way that you can. You are one in 12 billion! Let that stick first.

Now, to the 3 Laws of Exceptionality. The three laws I am about to share with you are three of the most powerful truths that I have found in my research into the annals of history of the most exceptional men that ever walked the face of the earth. Talk about men like Alexander the Great, Jesus Christ, Abraham, Abraham Lincoln, Benjamin Franklin, George Muller, Martin Luther King Jnr., Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Micheal Faraday and the list goes on. The interesting part is how I have come to understand these three laws. My understanding of them is completely different from how I have heard most of the world’s motivational speakers talk about them. So why not see my perspective and how it drives exceptionality.

The Law of Giving

Whatever must leave the hand must have already left the heart.

I discovered that we don’t really give with our hands; rather we give from our hearts. All giving that is not from the heart is simply hand exercise. Many people claim to give but they are only wasting their time and resources, because nothing can be expected from such endeavors.  There is a right way to give without which the whole essence and power of giving is defeated. I have written severally that “a lie never turns out to be true”; so no matter how long you spend doing the wrong thing, it will never turn out to be the correct thing. Nature is designed to support only the very things that are rightly done. Giving done apart from the heart carries no promise of returns, bears no real value and counts for a loss to the purported giver. For giving to truly count, it must be from the heart and leave from the hand. Otherwise, it is not giving.

In consonance with my commitment not to ever teach what sells but what works; and to live my message, I am giving my newest E-BOOK worth $28: How To Get Along Well With Anybody as a FREE gift to everyone who leaves a comment about this post and their email address. You will receive your free gift within 24 hours.

MENTORING

Mentoring is the fastest route to where you are going. It is riding on the carriage of those who have walked the same path you are on right now. Mentoring is your advantage above your peers. It is your access to the wisdom and experience of an entire generation before you. I’m sure you don’t want to take it for granted.

Mentoring is like an aircraft; it gets you to your destination faster than those who ply the road. True, it may be difficult for the aircraft to mount into the air, but its speed will definitely give you the needed advantage. Mentoring gives you unprecedented access to what those who went before you have learnt by errors, mistakes and attempts over their years of experience. It gives you confidence, directs your actions and gives you the freedom to be intentional with every move you make. With mentoring, you are not guessing!

If you want to be effective, you need mentoring. Let me put it in a better light: If you want to arrive at your dreams faster, you need mentoring! If you want to avoid the hidden pitfalls, escape the discouraging hassles and beat the odds against you, mentoring is the key. I have mentors who guide my steps. They reveal to me what I couldn’t have discovered on my own. They show me what could have taken me five years to find out. They help me avoid pitfalls that could have slowed me down and discouraged me. They help me gain speed and maintain my momentum towards significant achievement. I bet you desire the same.

SHIFT

Move. Adjust. Stir.

Just don’t stay in the same spot one moment longer.

If you believed that the world was going to end today, ushering in aliens from another planet into the earth, you surely are as disappointed as I am. I was really looking out for a glimpse of outer space. And like a psychopath said, I was looking forward to catching my alien pet too! lol.

Hey, wake up! The world won’t end just like that! Before you realize it, it will be 2013. You have a few days to do a few things that can make the New Year count for maximum good. I’m not talking about New Year resolutions, neither am I referring to New Year goals. This is my word to you: SHIFT!

Shift in these four directions:

1.       Shift from where you are. Don’t let the New Year catch you in the spot you currently occupy. Eleven days are enough to make some of progress. I know that the traditional practice by most people is to give up on the year once we are a few days to Christmas, but the truth remains that the year ends at 11:59:59 on December 31! Before you throw in the towel, let that moment arrive first. Give a few more shots; take a couple of extra attempts; try again. Whatever you do, ensure that you make progress – however little it may seem.

2.      Shift from what you’ve been doing. Doing the same thing guarantees the same results. Take a different approach. Adopt a practice you’ve hitherto neglected. Try something new. Make a shift in your habits; start forming new ones. You should know that habits can be formed and unformed. Stop what you have been doing that has brought you to where you are right now.

3.       Shift from how you have been thinking. Your thinking has attracted all that you see in your life today. If your experience will change in the coming year, then you must shift in your mind. Re-program your mind to conform to your dreams. Change your school of thought about your state of health, financial life and even your spirit.

4.      Shift from what you have been learning. You can never be more intelligent than the quality of your information sources. If your information sources are healthy, then you need to increase the quantity of what you learn. When you increase the quantity of what you learn, you need to be consistent in the art of learning. Who you learn from controls the outcome of your future. Take precaution in choosing what you read, who you listen to, and what you watch. Don’t forget that the power of the remote control is in the red button.

SHIFT...from where you are, from what you've been doing, from how you have been thinking...to how you ought to be.
