INTRODUCTION

The story of the HUNTER(found eagle’s golden egg, kept it under his Mother hen to be

incubated), and THE EAGLET(saw Eagle and ask why he can’t fly like what he looks like up

there) The hunter told him is because he never knew he could fly, so he tried to fly and off…

Our inability to fly early in life is not because we do not have the wings, we just don’t know

we can fly so high.

WHO DOWE BLAME?

Parents who plan so much for naming ceremony without

knowing the reason for the existence of the new born child?

The Government who do not care about the youth?

Or YOU, who chose mediocrity- busy without a destination,

existing like a MATTER without LIVING TO MATTER IN LIFE

Signs Of Existence

- Go to school or work

- Go to Church or fellowship

- Come back in the evening and watch TV or catch up with the

news on social media

- Go to bed

MATTER-has

weight and

occupy space

Who Are The People LIVING?

The REAL successful people!

What is success?

(Allow class to respond)

Asset is a reward for success. Success is

discovering your gift, and offering it as a service, to

make the world better than you met it. And If those

who are LIVING are the TRUE SUCCESSFUL

PEOPLE, then you need to DISCOVER YOUR

REASON FOR EXISTENCE and START

LIVING.

SELF DISCOVERY PROCESS

1.ASK THE MANUFACTURER

God is your manufacturer; He designed you for a purpose.

You will live a stress free life when you walk in the

reason for your living

Note: Self-discovery is not about starting a Church, is about

knowing what you are created to fix in your generation and

consciously pattern your life towards it with the help of the

Holy Spirit.

2. CHECK YOUR TEMPERAMENT

According to that great psychologist-Tim L’aye, an average Sanguine is a

comedian, a melancholy could be a good psychologist, artist or writer.

Phlegmatic personalities are good teachers, doctors and scientist. And the

Choleric personalities are good leaders because of their “go getter” nature.

3. AFFIRMATION/CONFIRMATION

Friends keep giving you a particular assignment

Your Spiritual father or mentor tells you what they see

about you

Parents tell you what God told them about you

4. DESIRES AND PASSION

You are not just satisfied with the situation around

you. You desire a change and is becoming more

and more impressed on your mind, is a pointer to

what you are created for.

5. YOUR PAST

80% of our past experiences in life may not be so palatable,

however, you are not to dwell and die with the experience.

You are to seek help, shake off the dust, pick the lesson and

teach others how not to fall victim.

6. ASK QUESTIONSPersonality Discovery Questions:

What skills have I acquired that I’m proud of?

What accomplishments am I proud of?

Beginning when I was a child, what are the 10 most significant events in my life?

What are my strengths and weaknesses?

What do I desire most right now? Why do I desire that?

If I was to receive an award, what would I want that award to be for? Why that? If I

was to pick out a significant title that showed up consistently while answering these

questions, what would that title be?

Vocation Discovery Questions:

What types of things did I enjoy doing as a child? (building things, drawing, sports, writing, solving

puzzles, being with animals, my chemistry set, organizing games, talking, anything physical,

Knitting, role playing… etc)

Do I do anything today that has similar qualities to it?

How do I currently earn my livelihood? How did I come to be so employed or Unemployed?

Why did I love or hate my work?

Am I currently doing the type of work I love to do? If not, what type of work would I like to do? If

yes, what would have to change for me to enjoy it more?

What has stopped me so far from pursuing the type of work I love? Do I want to continue allowing

that to stop me? What could I do to change that?

What is my personal definition of success?

MULTI-TALENT SYNDROME

A lot of people are very good at so many things and so is difficult for them to

really know what to do. Such people go about life in a hurry and very busy

without achievement. They are everywhere-choir, ushering, drama, prayer,

coordinator, team lead at work, fellowship president… They are spent and

exhausted without a sense of direction. I am saying this not to mock you, but

because I have been there and I need you to come out and become a better you

that God has created you to be.

MODULE 2

GOAL SETTING

97% of people on earth do not set goals, though they claim to without any action plan.

Less than 5% of Nigerians are financially independent at age 65, the remaining 95%

depends primarily on their children, family, friends and pension for survival at their

old age.

NOTE: many of these people have made some money at one point or the other in their life, but they never had a

PLAN FOR SUCCESS BY DREAMING AND PRIORITIZING THEIR GOALS.

WHAT ABOUT DREAM?

Dream is what you want to live

for and be remembered for.

My question is what do you want to be

remembered for? If you can answer that

in 5 seconds, that is your DREAM.

SO, WHAT ABOUT GOALS?

Your goals, are the set of SMART statement on how you want to

realize your dreams in a systematic order.

Goals and Actionable Plans are the engine to your dream

actualization.

GOALS SETTING CONCEPT

Goals should be segmented into LONG and SHORT term

GOALS SHORT TERM LONG TERM

Financial Goals I have 100m gain after

tax in 2017

I now have 100 flat estate in

Ibadan VGC 2025

Career Goals

Marital Goals

Spiritual Goals

Health Goals

DO’S AND DONTS OF GOAL SETTINGS

1. Concentrate on what you WANT (GOALS) and not what you DON’T

WANT (WEAKNESS).-Don’t think about the Elephant with pink

ribbon.

2. Set goals in line with your beliefs and values

3. Set Simple, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic and Time bound goals

4. Set goals in present tense

5. Check your goals day and night

6. Write out the Action Plan to achieve your goals

Ones you set it in present tense,

everything within and around

thing from right people and right materials and sources)

GOALS ACHIEVEMENT STRATEGIES

CONCLUSION

I want to assure you, that if you strictly follow and adhere to this principles, you will end

this year 10 times better and richer than you started. Most of the time, an average youth

will think the first thing is money, I say NO. The first thing is a DREAM, VISION,

GOALS and every other thing will fall in place.

In first Chronicles chapter 29 and verse 6, the Bible says “After David finished

speaking, the family leaders, the tribal leaders, the army commanders, and the

government officials voluntarily gave gifts”. The speaking there means sharing the

VISION. A lot of people have money, if you can have dream and ready to pursue it with

your SMART set of goals, they are willing to invest on you.

When you ask according to His purpose for your existence, you will receive help.
