Overview

Inside The Book

The art of self-motivation I acquired during this time continues to serve me well today. This drive kept me afloat, ensuring I never went hungry. It's crucial to remain receptive to learning and not isolate yourself. I could have easily taken a stance against driving taxis because I'm an engineer. But where would such an obstinate demeanor have led me?

Those who migrate are often enticed by the promise of improved prospects, the chase of their aspirations, or the yearning for a new beginning. I, too, found myself in this group. However, it would be best to comprehend that the moment you venture into unfamiliar terrain, you become an outsider. It is you stepping into a novel culture, a distinct society, and a different lifestyle.

We must understand that prosperity is not confined to monetary abundance - it encompasses a life marked by richness and fulfillment. Finding pleasure in your work can instill a feeling of purpose, enhance social interactions, promote mental health, and encourage personal development. These are all vital elements that constitute a prosperous existence.

Intelligence undeniably appears to be a 'positive trait' (all things being equal), and we might lean towards 'being intelligent' rather than the opposite. But what gives this trait the power to determine the value of our lives? Why shouldn't goodness be the determining factor? Or the ability to love and be loved? Who can confidently declare they have identified the ultimate quality of moral worth?

In Living Empowered, You Will Learn

Upon completing my undergraduate studies in India, I embarked on a journey to Stockholm, Sweden, to pursue my master's degree. However, the reality of my situation rapidly dawned on me upon my arrival at the university in Malmo. It was a startling revelation that proficiency in English was insufficient for survival in Sweden despite their familiarity with the language. Regrettably, I discovered that I was ill-equipped to thrive in such circumstances and decided, following many years of diligent academics, to retreat to my home country of Nigeria.

Upon my arrival in New York, like many other newcomers to America, I began my journey as a cab driver. This initial phase of driving a taxi later progressed to navigating 18-wheelers nationwide. There was a modest income to be made from this, yet it was far from what I envisioned for myself. The constant motion wasn't compatible with my preference for planning and structure.

You may often find yourself articulating your thoughts repeatedly, even when you feel you've made your point abundantly clear. There might even be instances where it seems like someone is mocking you. However, ultimately, these are not situations worth losing your composure over. Remember that you are in a foreign land; there is no onus for the locals to understand your every word. These are just some of the hurdles that will inevitably arise. Embrace the belief that you can rise above any frustration or annoyance, and in due course, you'll reach where you aspire to be.

The essence of finding one's joy in life and pursuing it as a career cannot be overstated. It carries an array of benefits, the most significant of which is personal gratification. When our work aligns with our passions, it no longer feels like a laborious task or an unwelcome obligation. Instead, it morphs into a fountain of contentment, joy and a platform for expressing ourselves. This alignment increases our propensity to thrive in our chosen area, paving the way for professional advancement and triumph.

My belief system is rooted in treating everyone with justice, an ethos I strive to instill in my son. Far too frequently, we encounter individuals on the streets and hastily jump to conclusions about their substance use or homelessness. However, when you honestly assess their predicament, I can assure you that they did not willingly choose their current plight. Their dreams and aspirations for life certainly did not include their present circumstances.  

A genuine spiritual existence is unattainable without a heart filled with benevolence. Generosity is an attribute of an enlightened mind. The journey originates from this point due to the happiness that emanates from a generous heart. A pure, unimpeded pleasure freely cascades when we engage in acts of generosity. We find joy in forming the thought of giving, in the very deed of gifting, and in reminiscing about our acts of charity.

Learning forms the foundation of our comprehension of the world we inhabit, equipping us with the necessary data and details that assist us in interpreting and maneuvering through our experiences. This gathered information, however, does not equate to enlightenment itself. Enlightenment is an amalgamation of applied knowledge, discernment, insight, and moral judgment. It signifies the capacity to utilize information to make impartial choices and react in a manner that is advantageous not only for oneself but also for others. Therefore, enlightenment synthesizes acquired knowledge, experience, and profound comprehension.

Instilling in children and adolescents the knowledge to shatter the glass ceiling separating the middle class from financial success involves comprehending their financial situations. I consistently endeavor to educate my children about every facet of finance, though they may not always grasp it. For instance, they often express a desire to visit certain places, yet it's me who bears the cost. These may seem harmless, but nurturing children who lack this understanding can significantly jeopardize their future financial stability.

Embarking on a transformative journey requires introspection, guidance, and the ability to extract life-altering lessons from our experiences. The chapters of this book have delved into various facets of life, emphasizing the importance of joy, equality, generosity, and financial literacy, among other themes. These chapters serve as a window into the author's beliefs and experiences and as mirrors for readers to reflect upon their lives. The lessons extracted from each chapter offer readers a succinct summary, a distillation of wisdom that captures the essence of each topic and provides actionable insights.
