YOU HAVE TO PRACTICE

November 20, 2023

YOU HAVE TP PRACTICE

Have you made enough mistakes yet?

Have you given yourself permission to make mistakes in the process of refining your gift?


See, you cannot be great by watching other people while you are idle. 

You cannot be a great speaker by watching other great speakers on TV.


You cannot become a valuable musician just watching others do their thing.

You cannot become renowned by locking yourself indoors.


You have to be willing to step out of your comfort zone and into your destiny.

You have to get out there.

You have to risk the criticisms of others.

You have to step into your destiny.

You have to try and fail and try and fail, till you get it.


Practice. Practice. Practice. 


John Maxwell, in his book Talent is never enough said that, "successful people practice harder and practice longer than unsuccessful people".


Destiny is not attained in the secret or being idle. 

Let me say that again! You cannot be great in secret and you will never be great without showing up. You need a platform. 


If no one is giving you a platform, create one for yourself!

You are the light of the world, not the light of your room!


After attaining what you think is excellence in the secret, you have to get out in the open!

Come out! Be known! Be seen.


The brothers of Jesus once said this to Him and I think they are right: 

""...Leave here and go to Judea, so that Your disciples there may see the works You are doing. For no one who wants to be known publicly acts in secret. Since You are doing these things, show Yourself to the world." [John 7:3-4]


I feel like screaming that last phrase - "SHOW YOURSELF TO THE WORLD!"


Even Jesus knew they were right. He responded by saying, He is aware of His time and He is not out there yet because His time hadn't arrived.


If your time is right, you cannot afford to be in the secret any longer.

If you have to learn the secrets of personal branding, learn it.

If you have to get a mentor, get one. 

If you have to pay to be coached, do it!


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
