NUGGETS FROM REVEREND SAM ADEYEMI’S TEACHING: HOW TO BUILD CONFIDENCE – PART 1

Whenever you measure yourself against other People, just remember that you are measuring yourself against their Strength.

And if you focus on your weaknesses, you compare your weakness with their Strength, you will always come short.

… So, everybody has their Strength!

I found it revolutionary when I realised that there are different kinds of intelligences – I found it Revolutionary and it helped me in Parenting.

I found out that for the most Part of the Contents of the Academic Curriculum only measures “Academic Intelligence”.

Amazing! – It measures only the ability to deal with Numbers and Verbal Intelligence or Linguistic Intelligence.

That is what the Academy can measures.

And I found out that there are different kinds of Intelligence:

1. We have Kinetics Energy or Kinetics Intelligence which is what is demonstrated by People in Sports and Athletics.

There is a connection between their brains and their bodies – It is unique and they are able to think and to move their bodies.

2. And we have Spatial Intelligence.

People are able to Draw, to do Graphics and so on.

… So, different kinds of Intelligence.

Now, when you put someone with Kinetic Intelligence in an Academic Environment – If the Person is not doing well in class but is doing very well in Sports; it is amazing how sometimes the Person is described as a dullard because the Person with Kinetic Intelligence is being measured by Academics Parameters.

There was a Particular scenario like that where during break when all the students were out Playing in the field and doing all kinds of Sports.

This young boy who was not doing too well in his Academics was made to sit in class to do Academic Work during the time when his colleagues were doing the things that he excelled in.

A “Change of School” helped him quite a bit because then he was moved to a New School that some kids are best in Sports even though they were not too Good in their Academics; he excelled and he did well in Sports which he loved.

He now did better in his Academics and ultimately he was able to win Scholarship in the University on the basis of the Sports where he excelled.

Now, some of us have escaped into Adulthood without these issues been resolved at all.

All of our lives, we have being measured by Parameters that can only defined our Weakness and not our Strength – And we defined ourselves also that way.

Your Genius is there waiting to find Expressions!

I am encouraging that:

1. You should focus on your Strength.
2. Define your Strength.
3. Focus on what is Positive about you.

Maybe, People have told you all your life that you talk too much; that you talk all the time, you talk non stop and that shows that there is something wrong with you.

I bet to disagree.

If you can talk that much and they can’t, it is an indication that that is where your Strength is!

… It is impossible to talk too much – Yes, but it is Possible to talk a lot and not make sense.

Absolutely Yes!

So, that is your Strength – You are encouraged to celebrate it and focus on it.

Now, don’t focus on the “Wrong Narratives” which is Criticism.

Shake the Narratives off and turn it into a “Recognized Strength” that it is – It will help your Confidence!

You may have been listening to the “Wrong People” for a long time – It is time for you to hear the “Right Voice”!

They may have told you that you are too quiet and you don’t talk – There is nothing like that.

Human beings are created to be different – Your being quite and having to think is a Strength.

… That is where your Genius is – Find it and Sharpen it.

And if you can’t find anybody around you to encourage you, you too can encourage yourself – Brush off all those “Negative labels” that has been Placed on you.

Some People says: You like to Play too much – But who knows; see how huge the Entertainment Industry is?

People wants Fun, People needs to Relax, People needs Recreation and some People are earning Millions and Millions Providing Fun or Providing Entertainment for People.

So, what somebody thinks is wrong is right for somebody else!

It is up to you to decide – But I’m saying that it is your Choice.

Choose to focus on the Positives in your life because that is where your Genius is!

Now, let us say that you enrolled for examination and you failed nine (9) Subjects or nine (9) Courses and you got an “A” in only one (1) – That is an Indication.

Now, Human Nature will focus your attention in the nine (9) Subjects or Courses that you failed. But your genius is trying to find its expression through that one (1) where you an “A”.

I’m saying if you want to have Confidence, it is Good you shift your thinking and your life to rest on that area – It may seems so small to you, it may seems so narrow to you but you build your “Personal Narratives” on the Positive about your life.

Focus on your Strength and find your Genius – The Place where you achieve results more easily, where you make as much efforts as other People make and you achieve “Extra Ordinary Results; that is Pointing you to something.

… When you function there, you will find out that you have a lot of Confidence!
