Transition: Fifteen things that will help you along the way. Series 1

I was privileged to speak at a graduation ceremony recently at a tutorial centre to students intending to transit into their respective and desired institution and I was highly intrigued by the gesture of those students. As far as I could remember, when I was graduating from the college for a diploma course, I was also privileged to speak amidst my colleagues on the topic 'Life After Campus' and it was an exciting moment for me as I was able to launch the students at the tutorial and my colleagues into a new phase of life.

  As I was thinking on what I could share with my faithful blog visitors and committed readers for the week, a thought came through my mind to share the same piece with you which I believe will be of great importance to your life.
  I want to let you understand that life is in stages and each stage requires different technics of going through them and even as much as each stage has its own basic fundamentals, there are certain general principles that apply to all areas of your transition and I am going to share with you those general principles whether you are going to college, want to get married and raise a family, getting a new job, going to a new place, irrespective of where you are transiting to, this piece is not just good for you but also important for you.
  Kindly read, digest, get blessed and also be a channel of blessing by sharing this. I have put fifteen fundamental principles together and I will share them in series which is three series. Fasten your seatbelt and let us enjoy the ride together.....

1. Vision

It is of a great importance to you to have a vision of where you want to be in your new environment. Do you have a larger vision of something that is worthwhile ?
Answer this question: where do you envision yourself of being in somewhat years ? It is very necessary to have a vision and not just a vision but a larger vision. For instance, as a college student, a first class grade has always been my vision. As an impactor, my vision is to positively impact billions of people around the world.
Vision as it were will make you not to wander around doing things that are not paramount to your life. Vision also will instigate you to be agile in achieving what you have envisioned. Have a Vision and unleash your potential.

2. Planning

Planners always make their way through. The popular saying goes thus "failing to plan is planning to fail". Do you have any vision that support your vision ? Planning will make your vision achievable. Apparently you want to raise a great family, have the plans that are feasible to the vision of raising a great family.
Plan your way through according to your vision and goals.

3. Relationships

Empty minds attract themselves and heavy minds attract themselves. You do not fit with everyone. You are in a new horizon and since you do not know much about this place, you need to constantly keep company with OQP- Only Quality People, people who have like-passion towards achieving greatness as you, people who are ready to encourage and scold you if there is a need for that, people who are constantly inspiring you to action.
Note this, if you hangout with chickens, you will not soar like an eagle and I know something about you even though I do not know you, YOU ARE DESTINED FOR GREATNESS. Remember this always when choosing your relationships: OQP- only Quality People.

4. Character

Beauty without brains is no beauty, intelligence without character is no intelligence and life without character is no life. Do you have a life ? If your character is not finely tuned, forget your success. Character supports and serve as a wall protecting you from arrows been shot at you. You do not just need any kind of character but an excellent character that will help you live your dreams.
If you lack the character in your new horizon, do not think about success. Your character need to support your dream.

5. Investment

I am not basically asking you to put your money into the stock market but I am utmostly urging you to invest wisely in the things that will improve your quality of life.
Invest in yourself, invest in your time. Do not just hoard all your resources in a box, invest in profound things, activities that are of greater value to your life. Do the needful and go beyond borders of limitations.

Afterthoughts

Transition is a daily movement to new phase of life and since you have not been there before, you need guidance.
