WHEN PEOPLE ENCOUNTER YOU, WHAT'S THEIR EXPERIENCE LIKE?

WHEN PEOPLE ENCOUNTER YOU, WHAT'S THEIR EXPERIENCE LIKE?

My wife and I went on a getaway for our eighth wedding anniversary recently, and we had lunch at a particular restaurant. It was an Indian restaurant.


The food was so amazing, it's been weeks since we came back, yet our tastebuds can't seem to forget the taste of that food.


We had the Indian butter chicken. While we have had several butter chicken dishes in our home city (Auckland), but there is something about that particular restaurant in Queenstown that got us hooked.

It was such an unforgettable experience, we're still reliving it.


Why am I sharing this with you?


When people encounter you, do you leave them with an unforgettable experience?

Or, have you become so common you have lost your uniqueness in the everyday struggles of the common man?


To lose your authenticity is to lose your value.


Every time people spend time with you, they must feel your authenticity. They must experience the uniqueness you carry.


You must leave them wanting more. Let them feel your purpose and passion shine through.

That way, they will keep telling others about you, and how you make them feel.


Here are some keys to help you:

1. Be yourself - don't try to copy or behave like anyone else.

2. Don't try to impress people, try to impact them instead.

3. Genuinely care for people, and put them first

4. Be selfless and sacrificial - give more than you take

5. Speak with grace on your lips.


I believe in you.

Are you an eagle in a cage?

September 8, 2025
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
