Today, I am going to challenge you to begin to think differently. This is so important because quite frankly, it is singularly the only way you can thrive through the current and past adversity that you have faced in your life.
How? You may wonder …. If you would like to know, please keep reading.
If you want to change your situation, you need to change how you think.
Learning to think differently is what mindset reset is all about. A new way of thinking will help reshape your character, behaviour and your results.
Allow me to provide context using some few real life examples
• When I was 16 years old, my beloved mother had a stroke that resulted in memory loss in addition to loss of speech. It was horrible. That trauma taught me the meaning of sacrifice and responsibility. I turned this pain into a teaching opportunity to help my mum learn to read and write again while nursing her back to health.
• When I was 17 years old, my beloved uncle passed away, I was dazed and in absolute shock. I turned this pain into resilience.
• When I was 18 years old, within a span of 3 hours, my mother became partially paralysed. Sadly, she passed away about 2 months later shortly after my 19th birthday. The grief was indescribable. But, I turned my devastation and grief to leadership. My siblings needed a mother figure and I was not going to let them down.
• At 29 years old, my beloved father lost a long battle with cancer and I turned the emptiness I felt becoming an orphan to legacy and this led me to start my work as a coach and trainer only a few weeks after his passing .
Through all these difficulties and more, I have compelled myself each time to turn every adversity to become audacity.
All the turbulence we encounter in life may cause us to sink but by thinking differently, we can begin syncing instead, one day at a time. I have done it countless times and so can you.
Because when you succumb to adversity’s hurdles, you will be trapped in a torturous rollercoaster with no end enveloped in fear, frustration and overwhelm which can lead to burnout, depression, stress and even premature death.
Meanwhile, your mind is so powerful because you can reset it with your thoughts and this makes your body responsive to solutions and become resilient to cope with future difficulty.
Neuroscience studies have confirmed this fact numerous times and I also show you the practical ways to do this in my book ‘The life sync blueprint book.’

I will elucidate more on this with a new poem that I wrote recently, in it lies the solutions that you need.
Oh Adversity
You have crept up on me
Too many times than I can count
You have turned my world upside down
You have made my life unbearable
And caused so much havoc in your wake
Oh Adversity
Are you not tired of causing loom and gloom
Of making everyone feel sad and frustrated?
You have made me a shadow of what I used to be
You have made me doubt myself and hate the world
Oh Adversity, are you not tired?
I am tired of letting you win this game of life over and over again
I am tired of looking helplessly at your conquests
I am tired of seeing broken people and broken dreams
I have decided to take back my power from you
It’s now my turn to convert all the pain you have caused to become my greatest power
I have decided to take ACTION despite the grief
I have decided to stay DETERMINED when everything looks bleak
I have decided to find my VOICE and give others a voice
I have decided to become RESILIENT so that I can discover my STRENGTH
I have decided to use all my experience as INSIGHT to forge forward
I have decided to remain TENACIOUS and be true to my values
I have decided to constantly YEARN to grow, learn, elevate and dominate
Oh adversity, with all these decisions that I have made
I know for a fact that I will become more AUDACIOUS
And in the face of AUDACITY, you have no power
In the face of AUDACITY, you have no place
If you desire to change your life, change your thoughts.
