THE KEY TO BECOMING A PERSON OF VALUE
My wife and I belong to a particular organisation. We have been a part of the organisation for years now.
We have noticed that any time the leaders of the organisation want anything done, they would approach my wife and I.
Even things that shouldn't even be about us find their way to us.
We are not the only ones in the organisation. In fact, we have people smarter than us, more energetic, more buoyant, but when something needed to be done, it comes to us.
We also notice whenever we say no, it's like that thing hardly gets done.
My wife and I were reflecting and discussing it recently and we realised it was because we had developed a reputation for getting things done!
The leaders could count on us because they know anything they want will get done.
Why am I sharing this with you?
Anywhere you find yourself, develop a reputation for getting things done!
The late Dr Myles Munroe said, there are three kinds of people in life: those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened, and those who make things happen.
Which category do you belong to?
To become valuable in life you must belong in the category of those who make things happen. You must lead wherever you find yourself.
Don't let your name ever be associated with mediocrity and stagnancy. Be faithful and always make yourself available to serve. Develop initiative such that even before you're asked, it's done!
This is the key to becoming a person of value.
I believe in you!

Picture an eagle in a cage. No matter how beautiful the cage is, the eagle was not designed to live in a cage. It was designed to soar on the highest heights and mountains with courage and flair. No matter the lure of the cage, it can never surpass the freedom of the eagle soaring in all expanse of the skies in all of its glories and strength. Like the eagle trapped, too many brilliant, gifted, called individuals are trapped in the cage of careers they were not designed for. They can never command their true worth and value, they can only eat the crumbs they are being fed by their captors. The lure of salaries and pennies that will never satisfy keeps them in such cages. They would rather remain in the rat race than take the risks for their freedom and glory. The Bible says, "If the Son (Jesus) sets you free, you will be free indeed." - John 8:36 As a child of God, you can break free! You were not designed to be caged! Any job that does not give you the freedom to express your gifts, talents and calling is a cage. One of the biggest graveyards of purpose I see is this graveyard of unfulfilling careers. People get jobs only for the sake of earning, rather than fulfilling their life's calling and pursuing what matters to them. But here's the truth: The careers you were not designed for will not satisfy you. They will leave you with voids and emptiness. At the end of your career, you would lack true legacy, influence and impact. Your time to break free is now. I believe in you. Dr Samuel Ekundayo
