REFLECTIONS FROM CRE8TIVITY SEMINAR- DAY 3

There was a twist to the service today. It was service unusual- a combination of apostolic thrust and teachings with the revelation of kingdom insights for creativity. All from the combined graces of Dr. Glenn Arekion and Pst. Niyi Adesanya. It even went deeper at the evening syndicate session. Here are notes from teachings of Dr. Glenn Arekion;

Never underestimate the power of discomfort. Discomfort with who you are, where you, what you are will spur your creativity. The three pillars of creativity are; wisdom, knowledge and understanding (Prov. 3: 19-20). Wisdom builds, understanding establishes, knowledge enriches. Through wisdom is an enterprise, business or idea built, through understanding is it established and through knowledge does it get enriched. Any enterprise built by wise planning becomes strong through common-sense and profits wonderfully by keeping abreast of facts. Many atimes we pray for what we cannot maintain or what our knowledge cannot sustain. What you need to do is to first, build your arsenal of information.

There are ultimately three phases of an enterprise or idea as the case maybe;
1. The start-up phase- pioneering and planning
2. The strengthening phase- the proactive and the productive stage
3. The security stage- profits and proceeds

More often than not, we would like to jump from the first phase to the third stage but, things don't work that way. Life is a process so is an idea, business or enterprise. There is an interplay between these stages that gets you ready for sustainable wealth. Brace yourself to face it if you truly desire true wealth.

 First, if you have no plans for personal development you are on a road to bankruptcy. If you're not developing then you are dying. You should be interested in investing in yourself. You have to grow your capacity to learn. To invest in your life you have to be a voracious reader. Excellence is continuous improvement because, today's excellence is tomorrow's mediocrity. Excellence is to continue do good works with what you have. The continuity is key and that's what creativity is all about.

LEARNING FROM CHAMPIONS- The Inspiring Story Of Peter J. Daniels

Image
Born in Australia, his parents were third-generation welfare recipients used to being poor. Peter attended elementary school in Adelaide. Because of a learning disability, he found it difficult to understand and assemble words. Consequently he was labeled stupid by teachers who were either too busy or didn't care enough to find out why he struggled. One teacher in particular, Miss Phillips, would make Peter stand in front of the class where she would berate him with, "Peter Daniels, you're a bad boy and you'll never amount to anything". Of course this did nothing for his self-esteem. As a result, he failed every grade in school. One of his earliest career choices was to become a bricklayer.

Let's get one thing clear: While money may not be of ultimate importance, it still ranks up there with oxygen in giving you life. Hence, the need for you to handle money with intelligence and intention. With that in mind, let's look at the six foundation habits that will help ease your financial pressures as we round up our course on finance management. 1. Develop a Positive Attitude about Money. Attitude is important when it comes to money. In fact, attitude is the driving force in your subconscious mind. Attitude shapes your self-talk and ultimately your financial reality. If you constantly say to yourself, "I'm broke, I'm broke", your subconscious mind hears these negative words and sets up your actions to be consistent with the message. If instead it hears, "I'm building wealth, I'm building wealth", it sets up your actions to become a wealth builder. These messages are sent to your brain and are heard as absolute truth whether they
