The dream killer

In life we meet two categories of people: "dream killers and purpose achievers"
Don't mix yourself with vision poisonining people.

The work of dream poisoning people is to terminate or restrict your movement toward pursuing your purpose. See also, "when the going gets tough"

Greatness—equality is fit for a leveling down of mankind; it's not fit for men who fling their dreams across the skies. The problem we have in Nigeria is that we have trapped ourselves with that word equality,  which is inapplicable to the genus man. I wish we would forget about it because many
have bent on leaving their potentials dormant. Even though we certainly desire for all people to have equal access to opportunities and justice, but we know that everyone doesn't respond equally to his environment or advantages. Some see opportunities avail them without procrastination, some cannot identify opportunities when they come, therefore many today relapse in making success rather want to depend on others successes to grow.

Meanwhile, what we are talking about is that some persons use their talents, gifts while some other persons don't care manifesting their gifts. Remember that, it is the measure you give the measure you get.
Some persons are killers of dreams.

Who are actually the killers of dreams? Look around you and tell yourself what you see. Some persons you come across in live are there for two purposes. Therefore they are classified into:

Dream killers: these are the kind of people who have come to milk you down. They are there to discourage you. To tell you why you can't do it because you can't do it. To tell you how bad you are in doing something. They try to dictate your potential for you. You allow them live your life for you when you don't know your matching ground. Some persons don't care about personal growth or won't grow under your care. While some are eager to grow and be enlarged. It is left for you to figure out which is which. Always associate with your kind to be able to enlarge your vision and achieve your purpose in life.

People whose philosophy of life is similar to yours: People you work and associate with ought to have similar underlying values and priorities. If you are different from them you may not be working at cross purpose and you won't experience the effectiveness you wouldn't like the result you get. See also "philosophy of life"

Always choose people with potential that you genuinely believe in. See also, "what you believe makes you" This is because you can't help people you don't believe in.

Carefully choose people whose lives you can positively impact. Not people with negative influence. Not everyone you see that you would be capable of developing. Go for potentials. You need someone to workout your vision and purpose with because people who often try to do everything alone get themselves into trouble at the end.

Try to carry the people you associate with along. When you notice you are not in same vision and potential, withdraw lest they influence you negatively.  See also, "living on others' footprint"

No time is late or early to get yourself acquainted with people that have same vision with you. Thinking of doing it alone isn't the best decision. You really have to look out for lives that match with yours. People you can flow along with. People you can do the same you do. Once you have found the right people, keep in mind that you need to get their permission before you start with any decision. People love respect and people also love encouragement and motivation.

Things you should expect when you connect with your spot

Get out of the rat race. After all, if you win, you will simply be the big rat. Stop running in the competition. The only person you should compete with is yourself. "how well am I performing in my leadership spot," is what you should ask yourself. You have to know that the battery does not compete with a spark plug, because the battery knows the spark plug can never be a battery, and so on. They sit in the engine in their spots and serve the engine their gift without competing

Why does negative behaviour continue?

It works. There is some kind of payoff, some type of momentary satisfaction that is derived from not changing. The reward might be financial or psychological. Some people will continue unproductive behaviour to seek approval, acceptance, praise, or love. Others continue their unacceptable actions out of pride, greed or a sense of personal fulfilment. They may oppress others with their need to always be right because they treasure being right- even if it destroys a relationship.

Adding value to other people is the work of a positive influencer

As you move up to the higher levels of influence and become an active influencer, you can begin to have a positive influence on people and add value on their lives. That's true for any positive influencer. The baby-sitter who reads to the child encourages him to love books and helps him become a lifelong learner. The teacher who puts his faith, confidence, and love on a child helps the child to feel valued and good about herself. That boss who delegates to the employees and gives them authority as well as responsibility enlarges their horizons and empowers them to become better workers and people. Even the parents who know how to give their children grace and when to, also help them to stay open and communicative. All of these people add lasting value to the lives of other people. One thing is this, we don't know what kind of influence you have on others, today as you read this article. Your actions may touch the lives of thousands of people. Perhaps you use the opportunity
