Hello Everyone,
Today is a special day in my life(can you guess what it is?).
It’s important to note there have been a few changes made to the blog.
All the current projects of the blog have been put under one category ‘Life Skills Development.‘
I believe the structure of the blog posts, theoretical approach, course of study, theme of seminars, all revolve around ‘life skills’.
Discovering your Purpose is as a result of self awareness, authenticity, personal development, relationship building … and these are centred around life skills.
The Life Skills Challenge is the latest development of Discovering Purpose.
It will be run once a month and it involves leaving a simple comment stating why you deserve to win the book of the month.
***Important Information: If you are a blogger or an author and would like to contribute to the challenge by giving out your ebook or book, please contact me.
In the spirit of sharing today, I would be giving out 7 books to the winners of the challenge.
The books are in the image above and they are as follows:
- Twelve Pillars (Ebook) by Jim Rohn (2 copies)
- Make Today Count By John Maxwell
- Live Your Dreams By Les Brown
- The Five Major Pieces Of The Life Puzzle (Ebook) By Jim Rohn.
- Made To Stick By Dan Heath.
- How Successful People Think By John Maxwell.
Rules
The competition will be run for a week and the rules are pretty simple:
- Your comment must be significant to the title of the book OR books you’ve shown interest in.
- You may retweet the post or share on facebook.
- You can only post one comment a day please.
Terms
The names of the winners will be published on this blog.
The aim of this challenge is to get you involved with things relating to your self awareness, life skills, purpose and personal development. As a result, THE CHOICE OF WINNERS WILL BE COMPLETELY SUBJECTIVE but kindly remember it’s a way of contributing to your growth and development.
Delivery
Winners of the ebooks would have it sent to their mailbox within 24-48hrs.
Winners of the hard copy/cover books will have it posted to them. Please note: This is subject to posting schedules and time frames from the United Kingdom so there may be a slight delay if it’s overseas.
So let’s all get involved and drop a line……..
I look forward to congratulating the winners, believing the books will have a positive impact on their lives.
Enjoy the rest of the day everyone

hi ben lol!!!
thanks a lot.
i am sure the winners would really benefit from the books.
take care
Happy Birthday, Ayo. I hope you had a fun-filled day
Waaay back when I first heard of Les Brown, I absorbed everything he had to say and I also enjoyed watching him on TV. I would really like to win his book as it’s one that I think will be very inspirational.
The other books look great, too. You’ve got quite a collection and it’s great that you are having a contest. I had a contest to give away Seth Godin’s Linchpin and felt really good giving it to the deserving person.
Good luck to everyone.
Thanks,
Karen

hi karen
how are you?
it’s great you are participating and thanks a lot for the birthday wishes. i have spent my day at work and would spend the rest of the hours having fun and eating with my family.
ben told me about your contest because i expressed my concerns about the delivery of books. But all thats sorted.
as for the collection, thanks to jim rohn international for granting me permission to give away the ebooks .
enjoy the rest of the day.
Happy, Happy Birthday, Ayo! May it be the best one yet!
I think I am a good candidate for Make Your Day Count. You see, living with CFIDS/FMS and all that goes with it, has taught me many valuable lessons. One is that I have no idea what tomorrow will look like. So, in order to reach my dreams and to succeed in this moment that I have been blessed with, I have to make each day, sometimes each moment, count!
Love you blog! You do such a great job.
P.S. Will be sending you and email today,
Dominique´s last blog ..THAT would be a great day…
hi dominique,

thanks for your kind words and i will look out for your email.
enjoy the rest of the day
Hey Ayo,
I would like to join for the book by John C. Maxwell “How Successful People Think” I am interested in the psychology of success and mindsets of highly inspirational and successful men and women. Have a fantastic day and prosperous year ahead!
Happy birthday! You are doing so well with everything in this blogsphere.
hi baker,
whats going on?
thanks for the birthday wish and your kind words.
you take care of yourself and enjoy the rest of the day.
Happy Birthday Ayo! Just relax and enjoy your day. Cheers bro!
Regarding the books i wont mind live your dreams because i want my dreams to become a reality and i could also look at the five major pieces of the life puzzle to help me in resolving my current challenges.
hi emmanuel,
thanks for the wishes. i spent the day working but i loved it
you take care then.
Hi Ayo!
First of all, I’d like to wish you a very happy birthday!
I think I am a good candidate for Live your Dream because that it what I decided to do three months ago. After completing a four-week TEFL course in Granada (Spain) in the summer of 2009, I went back to my native country Belgium. Home didn’t feel like home anymore and after feeling like this for several months I decided to do something about it. I came to Seville in January 2010 and lived here for a month. I felt so at home here that I came back to live here permanently at the end of February. I love my new life here and I am living my dream. I can only encourage others to do the same, if they have the opportunity to do so. Life is not a dress rehearsal!
Have a great day!
love
Michael

Hello Ayo,
I hope you had a wonderful birthday celebration. This year is going to be a great one for you!
I would enjoy Les Brown’s book. I’ve had the pleasure of hearing him speak a number of times, but I’ve somehow managed to miss out on his writing. Some of my dreams are still in formation and this appears to be inspiring.
Blessings!
hi kim,
how are you?
i did have a wonderful day yesterday and thanks for your inspiring words. do you know something i dont lol!!!?
enjoy the rest of the day
“How successful people think” looks like a good one. It’s one I’m working on and would love to have an added resource to add to my thoughts. Great idea here Ayo. Keep being awesome!

hi jeremy,

happy birthday ayo! my birthday was last week
i’m interested in the book make today count. a few months after graduating college i got really sick. i have had ms now for almost 10 years. i can’t work which is very hard for me. i’ve been sick since i turned 23 in the er and am positive in general but i still get sad. i’m getting worse, no one knows what to do with me. been on chemo, etc. i’m tired of being on immunosuppresants and shots, etc.
maybe this book would give me a boost? The Five Major Pieces Of The Life Puzzle sounds good too.
hope the weather where you are is better than it is here (tons of rain in ct.)
happy birthday in arrears nadine.
hope you enjoyed your day
how are you feeling today? it is inspiring to know you’ve held on and stayed strong despite all thats happened or happening to you and i salute your strength and courage.
thanks for participating in the challenge and the weather today was sunny today with bees buzzing here and there.
take care of yourself.
Dear Ayo,
Happy happy birthday! I should have known you were a fellow Taurean!
Down to earth and straightforward.
I deserve one of these books because I exist. And if I win one, I’d love to contribute it to a soul who hungers for the knowledge contained therein.
Mainly, I just want to acknowledge how much I enjoy you and your balanced approach to life. I love to visit with you here.
Happy day and hope you have lots of fun!
