STOP THOSE SYNDROMES
Olapurpose James Asu




In 2005 when I was still working with Landover Aviation Company at Ikeja in Lagos as an Office Assistant and later to Administrative Officer I wrote a note which captured the above title.

 Many people are not making headway or progress in life because they've believed in the possibility and reality of those Syndromes. And nurturing them will kill dreams faster and stand as impediments to arriving at one's God-given and ordained destiny. The more you allow them to occupy your mental faculty, the more they incapacitate your creative ability and innovative capacity.

 When I was much younger, those Syndromes were fully operating in my life at full force because I gave them the permission and failed to make use of my power of choice but rather lived on every piece of advice of people without sieving them and holding on to the healthy ones and leaving the unhealthy ones. Most times whenever I tried to do any activities that I love doing and passionate about, I mean positive ones like speaking on the podium or preaching on the pulpit, writing articles or organising great event. At first I believed them and became a victim of those syndromes. They told me then: "You can't write inspiring articles. You can't speak motivating talks because you're not one. You can't organise empowerment event that will reform minds and transform lives because you're still very young” But as time goes on I was freed because I discovered who I am and what I am born to do.

 My question now is: ''What Syndromes are you spreading into the life of someone or being spread into YOURS? Some people may say, "You can't amount to much or be great in life. You can't get married this year. You can't give birth to children at your age. You can't get admission into tertiary institution of your choice this year. You can't travel oversea or pastor a church or be a General Overseer or lead as an imam in that mosque. You can't get a good job or start your own great, successful and profitable business. You can't attain levels of greatness or achieve success in your career or calling. Your name can't be in the Guinness Book of World Record for discovering one good invention. You can't see your purpose come to manifestation or turn your passion into a profession. You're too young to do great things in life. No member of your family or no one from your country has ever done something you are trying to do, so you too can't" All the aforementioned are SYNDROMES you need to STOP. To stop them: Start debugging them from your mental faculty so that they don't lead you to a lifetime of negativity or stop your enviable destiny from becoming a reality. Remove impossibility thinking from your vocabulary. Switch to that of possibility. If you don't quickly stop them, they'll eventually stop you. So, stop those Syndromes.

ONE MAJOR WAY OF BEING RESPONSIVE TO YOUR ABILITY

By PRAISE AKOBO It's possible you may or may not have thought of 'responsibility' as a 'response to ability'. So, let's roll. .. .. .. Have you checked, how that, when you were given a task, be it in school, church, office, firm or even that which you gave yourself? Did you see that, somehow, you felt lackadaisical at first but decided to take the bull by its horn? Now, the ability to do that was resident within, but came alive when you chose to act, this is why you hear words like UNTIL YOU GET STARTED, YOU CAN NOT START. .. .. .. I discovered that I understood something's about myself when I was given a responsibility in an N.G.O and accepted it. Just like you, I hesitated but until today, that has been a major factor in my growth. My NETWORK grew as well my NET WORTH. Lets say for instance, you are asked to be part of an Editorial Committee, you finally accepted, then along the line, you discovered ...
