There is More!

July is a more month

On the 28th of May. I received a birthday message from my favorite Uncle by 9:21PM and the message ended with THERE IS MORE.

I thought hard about it because of how deeply the phrase resonates with me.

He wrote that statement as someone who has seen my works, who is aware of my potential, has an idea about some of the projects I'm involved in, and he just knew that there is more.

More is a challenge to my capacity to deliver. It's a demand of substance. It’s also a belief that I'm capable of doing much more than I'm currently delivering. There's more also represents trust. It emphasizes the faith and confidence he has in me and when I thought about what to say to you this month, I say there's more.

You thought you've broken all your records, aced all your tests, used all your cards, seen all your peaks, bagged all your degrees, gotten all your certifications, preached your best sermon, gotten all your laurels, written all your books, been at all your bests. Tried all your efforts, exhausted your strategies, expressed all your brilliance, built all your products, learnt all your skills but there's more.

More points to inexhaustibility. Its a mindset rather than an action. The thought that you are unlimited in your possibilities, invincible in your trials, and elastic in your thinking.

More means prolific. People who have more just believe that there's no cap and limit to the feats they've achieved. They are prolific with results.

More is a challenge. You will challenge yourself to keep trying regardless of how far your digging is from water. It looks like you are tired, exhausted and never going to make it to the finish line. More says this is not the end.

More means open-mindedness. It does not matter how big your reservoir is, if you have a closed mind, you won’t let out water. Be unnecessarily open, be carelessly expectant, be frivolously positive because there is more.

It’s a mindset.

I have listened to some millionaires say “If I lose my money today, come back in a specified number of years, I'd have made back my money”

The thought that we are not only enough, but that we are unlimited, that we are not only successful, but that we can replicate results again and again no matter what comes. Be that confident. Be that assured. The weather of possibility is regulated by mindset. It is neither day nor night. It is what we call it. It is neither plenty nor scarce, it is what we say it is.

Our eyes doesn't see what exists. It sees what we believe exists.

It’s not the time to brood over what you have done. Don't square in your walls. Don't box yourself to a corner. Don't say it is over before you hear the whistle.

Dear friend. It is time for more!

Have a More month and breakthrough from within.
