You ain’t Got Time
Adebayo Christianah Kemi (Nigeria)

No matter the race, language, disability or color, one thing has been given to all at the same rate and the same pace; time. It is almost beyond imagination, how one gets a new day, day by day and the previous day is lost. Same thing happens to hours and minutes. Based on the hope of having more of time, it becomes easy to procrastinate and waste away time. Also, it is easier to depend than to launch out. All this leads to achieving little or almost nothing. The consequence meets up with one when there is no one else to rely on.
Your destiny will not be fulfilled without upgrading your execution skills, and the development of massive sense of urgency. The author explained that some dreams and goals doesn’t live to see the light of the day. here are many plans sometimes one may have, but there are some skills that needs to be activated in us for us to be able to achieve it. In life, there are various ups and downs, discouragement, disappointment. This calls for the reason why execution skills have to be developed.
Life isn’t waiting for anyone: one uses one’s level of life as he or she can try to be, or based on the decision of carelessness, enjoyment. But when one leaves that level of life, it won’t be possible to achieve what ought to have been strived for when in that stage. For example, I can’t be the best in my primary pupil in my state or country now, no matter how I now aim it, I’m out of it. So, children ought to be thought that the time is running out. The current stage of life they are in is an opportunity to achieve in that stage.
Impatience is a key if living one’s life to it’s possible best is the answer. The speaker asked that why is it important to be impatient? And he answered that the answer is simple and profound, time is running out. At what level one’s feels like an achiever is the level one stops achieving. One have to aim and strive more to make his passions come pass.
You can spend the remaining of your life accomplishing small stuff slowly or you can learn to upgrade your execution skills and learn to start achieving big goals quickly. I was made to understand that trials and efforts can help achieve small goals but upgrading one’s execution skills will help one with greater achievements quickly. The question and exercise here is to get the execution skills to be developed.
It is either you use this life well or you lose it forever. If one’s whole life was spent carelessly, achieving little or almost nothing, it will be lost at death and there will be no chance to live it again. So, even living is a chance to still acquire much out of life. As he said, if one wills to acquire wealth, it is better achieved at young age when the power and will is still vibrant.
Reject the vices of procrastination, dependent on others, indecision and complacency. One of my studies in goal setting says one should set a deadline and set another if not achieved. But before one will set another, it is better to add the virtues of urgency to its achievement. Sometimes, it is better if one’s source of help or a trusted person fails, because it will hasten one not to be too dependent. Until life teaches one a vital lesson, it will be so easy to place one’s dependency on others. This deprives one of achieving.
What Others Are Saying
Why IIGL?
Deb Rosen (USA/WI)
drosen2@wi.rr.com
As we begin the 2024-2025 term, I wanted to share why I value being the IIGL Director and find inspiration each day from our students, graduates and donors. Each term brings a new energy of leaders to our Board of Directors! This new Board that was just elected is no exception! There is a vibrancy and determination that is felt and demonstrated by the shared IIGL goals and visions!
In our current global political and economic disarray I often look forward to my email messages in the morning to receive assessments and program suggestions from our students and Board members. Every day I receive an inspirational message of gratitude and/or of new ideas! I choose to focus on that which I find helpful and an intrinsic benefit of the job!
As we begin this new term I see more and more Board initiatives and implementations! I see the potential for lots of connection and exchange with our sister nonprofit, Michael just founded called the Planetary Transformation Project as well as ways to work smarter not harder on the administrative tasks for myself and Pius our Nigerian based webmaster! I continue to be grateful to each and every one of you for your continued interest and support of IIGL!
What are Students are Reading
Love without Conditions (Ebook)
The messages in this book are the fruit of the authors’ personal relationship with Jesus which developed in the 1980s and intensified thereafter. He shared, “opening my heart and mind to my teacher and writing down his words was an experience of profound communion. It was essentially ecstatic in nature. During the last 15 years, these messages have been shared with men and women around the world. They have been translated into numerous languages and have been published in many countries. Readers have told me how touched they have been reading these words.”

Make A Difference
Dream Team 22
Please join Dream Team 22 as our goal is to have 22 people contributing $22 per month. We understand that money is energy and that to sustain and build IIGL we need a lot of people pouring their energy into this endeavor on a regular basis. We also know that not everyone can afford to commit $22 a month – especially our students, who live in countries with economies in which this amount can be equal to a weeks’ salary. So we are offering two options for those who wish to become a part of the Dream Team. One can commit to a $22 a month contribution or to spending 22 seconds each day holding the vision of IIGL becoming financially sustainable by the end of 2024!
Please join the Dream Team and help us create an energetic foundation to support the transformational work of IIGL! You can really make a difference in the world by making a modest contribution of time or money. To make the $22 a month commitment or a one time donation, click the link below. To become a member of the Dream Team 22 by committing 22 second a day to help us hold the vision, contact Deb for details: drosen2@wi.rr.com
