Minute Motivation with Doyin are short and sharp nuggets of wisdom to keep motivated and focused.
Zero in on what works
Think back to a time you achieved something ‘mega’ – it could even be as far as when you were in secondary school… Now ask yourself ‘how did I achieve that?’ Okay I’m laughing again because one of the successful times in my life was when I was in secondary school; I was always top of my class. I remember doing this exercise – trying to debug my brains of the many things that made me successful. (more…)
Imitate a successful person
Last week, I talked about understanding your personal strength and developing your structure to suit your uniqueness. This week, I want to take that a step further by adding on the layer of Role models & mentors. Another way to develop a system/structure that works is to look for someone who is already successful at what you aim to achieve and ‘imitate’ them. (more…)
Understand who you are
Get up, look for a mirror and stare at it keenly. Make a note of at least 3 features you really like on your face that you have never noticed on that of your close friends and family. I asked you to do that because I want you to begin to celebrate your UNIQUENESS, by being conscious of the qualities that set you apart because this is the springboard to extraordinary success.

In developing a structure that works, people often talk about systems. It’s actually one of my favourite words but I must admit, the word systems in itself is sometimes as vague as the problems we are trying to solve. (more…)
Structure releases you
When my children were a lot younger and I was invited to birthday parties, I found the parties I enjoyed most were those with just one exit door – I simply sat near the door. I knew that as long as the kids didn’t go past me at that door, they were safe and within the party building. That confidence FREEE me and also gave them the freedom to enjoy the party without interference from me. (more…)
Everyone has faith.
Everyone chooses where and how to channel their faith
Everyone has the strength to persevere in the face of discouragement and doubt…
Don’t you sometimes feel that the day-to-day race of life seems to barrage us with circumstances that teach us that it is easier to quit and let go of our dreams than pursue it? We give up at the darkest hours of our life, forgetting that the darkest hour, as the saying goes is usually the hour before dawn… (more…)
Affirmation is ‘choosing to continually declare a positive trait or outcome’. It’s the choice to constantly say things about yourself that you one day hope to become true… I like to call it the POWER adjectives that makes ‘I want to be become I am…’ Some have dubbed it positivity thinking but dare I say it goes beyond that. Affirmation is not just a thought, you see, it is actually saying those thoughts to yourself consistently until you see them become true in your life. (more…)
The Oxford dictionary defines Commitment as ‘the state or quality or quality of being dedicated to an activity’. I like this definition as it infers there has to be an activity. So before you decide you CAN, your first step is to clearly detail what your goal is. You MUST write down what you want to accomplish and a few steps/actions that can take you towards that goal (which could be Spiritual growth, Weight loss, Health regime). (more…)
