One day you will lose your job! Either by choice or by force! One day
you will have to go away from that place you have been going and coming
from for however long it has taken you. In life, everything has a start
and an end, there is a day to born and a day to die, a day to begin and
a day to end. Those who live the highest quality of life are those who
live today with an eye on their end. The greatest liberation any human
can ever experience is when his/her fears don't hold him/her back. The
same way that dying makes living exciting, the same way the thought of
the day we'll lose our jobs, should make you spend the time you
currently have wisely!
I have heard of GMs, SMs, Ds who lived in big houses, drove the
flashiest cars end up as high-class beggars and mere social and
political commentators. Why? Because while they were on their jobs, they
thought erroneously that it would last forever. They did not know that
the end was nearer than far. While they carried buckets, they considered
the act of stooping to build pipes too low for them. Some of them left
their jobs with huge bank balances, but the entrepreneurial way, which
has no respect,for years of experience dealt them a knock out in the
early rounds of their ventures. Some of them were thieves, what they got
was stolen and it went the way of stolen funds. The words I write to you
today, will stand firm as judgment for your future, if you ever live
less than what you were created to do! When your life can be summarized
by a routine that does not have a date of escape, you are like the
children of Israel who kept on cycling round a mountain instead of
making progress. Stop hiding incompetence or inability to add value
behind a company logo. Start exposing yourself and getting yourself set
for when you will lose your job. Mark my words, the first showers of the
great storms is all that we have seen, many who are comfortable today
will beg tomorrow. Many who are not developing skills today will be
slaves tomorrow, and many who have ill gotten money today will be needy
tomorrow. The storm is coming, let who is wise join the company of Noah
in the Ark of deliverance that is being built and let the fools scorn
and laugh. He who laughs last, laughs best.
www.RubMinds.comA few days ago, I dug into a few past articles I had written on this
blog. The popular ones, and the not so popular ones. God has really been
good to me, and to many who hold my words as more than common words, and
have found the courage to take action. I have said things two years ago,
that took 6 months to manifest, I have made declarations that just a few
weeks ago came to pass. I cannot say for if I am a prophet or not, but I
know one thing for certain, God does reveal secrets to me, and show me
things that are to come! Today, the next level beckons and I must serve
my purpose and lay the words on you.
Before you lose your Job
1. Do not Steal!
Whatever money you make by fraudulence, by taking what does not belong
to you, by playing on your employers intelligence will not last, no
matter what you use it to do. Some people refute this perspective and
say they can use the stolen funds to buy assets, build houses, invest in
shares or other companies, if you care to know the truth, every activity
you participate in is seed for your tomorrow and a harvest of your past.
Ill gotten wealth is like a caterpillar, it looks like all it can do is
crawl until it develops into a butterfly and flies. Be honorable, better
a broke employee living within his/her means than a successful, wealthy
employee with questionable resources. Life has it's way of bringing the
harvest - with loss, death, calamities etc If you have stolen before or
are currently stealing, don't just repent, go and make it right.
www.RubMinds.com2. Get a life!
If most of your friends are in your office, you are being sucked into
the maze. Don't get yourself stuck with the same people you work with
for the best hours of your life. Go prospecting for friends that are
different from you, go for some clearly better than you, don't have
friends by accident, don't be chosen, choose. Experts say you should
watch the people you hang out with most, your life will end plus or
minus 10% of their life! Financially and otherwise, your life gravitates
to a region slightly below or above the life's of your friends. It's not
how much you have in your account that always counts, it's who you have
access to that matters more.
3. Have Options!
Many people are slaves to their employment and their bosses, not because
it's so enjoyable but because they do not have options. They have a few
other things they are doing but they are not sure of any of them. Their
existence as corporate biggies makes majority only look for deals that
are already big. Unknown to many, if you start big, when the storms of
life hit you hard and take you down, you will need to beg to start big,
but if you start small, you can always start all over again! Get
options, be willing to start with nothing, be willing to start small.
Don't disqualify anything as below you, you earn 7 digits(NGN) per month
today true, but if it all will stop when you lose your job, you are
gambling with your future. Stop, think, ask questions. Venture, dare,
take risks. You will lose some and you will win some. If you are willing
to lose long enough, you will win long enough. There are people not as
bright as you, not as opportune as you doing more with their lives, look
outside the window of your office, once in a while.
www.RubMinds.com4. Learn!
Invest in knowledge. Empty your pocket to fill your head, and your head
will fill your pocket. Learn like knowledge is running out of fashion.
Read books, watch interesting history, attend seminars organized by
people who have seen things different from you, learn from experience,
others and yours, get a mentor. Do whatever you need to do within
ethical boundaries, but by all means learn! Empty bags can't stand tall,
empty heads can't be confident. Wisdom, which is the application of
accumulated knowledge, makes a man's face to shine. Your confidence
level is an indication of the stuff that you have. If whatever you are
doing doesn't give you an opportunity to learn, run! Take your life off
the flames!
5. Give Exceptionally.
I have found out in life, that those who have the propensity to give the
most, get wealth the most. The universe is set up by God based on
principles, and the principles cannot be broken. If you give, you will
reap it somewhere in your future. If you don't faint in doing good, you
will be rewarded! Don't wait until you are stinking rich before you
begin to give scholarships, sponsor students, take care of orphans or
contribute to worthy courses. Start now, before you lose your job! What
you will regret in this life is not how much you should have gotten, but
how much value you could have added, how much a difference you could
have made, and what else you could have done! Don't work like a moron -
going and coming and going and coming without leaving a lasting impact
on your world. Give yourself and give of yourself.
Where would you rather be?
