Hello
Dear friend,
I’m
right here in your space once again but yet with another appetizing edition,
‘the synopsis’. I know what is playing round your mind now: why the caption,
SYNOPSIS? Simply put, it is summary of a text in a condensed version. This
synopsis is about story-line of a character who took the main center stage of transforming, instructing and impacting positively its audience. Guess who the character is? It's called by name, 'THE GOVERNING LIFE' and the synopsis is about the review of the newly
published character – did I just said character, oh apology I mean to say Book. Yes, the
book is a series on pathway to personal leadership which brings to fore
critical issues of purpose, process and discipline. A 108paged book authored by
Emmanuel Abiona (your favourite Marketplace Strategist) with ISBN:
978-978-950-962-1, has Four chapters that attempts to instill in readers the craving
to be reflective about the purpose of every event in one’s life as providence
connect the dots of today’s and tomorrow
in a network of process.
No better way it would have been put than how Dr. Dotun Reju (Chief Resource Person, Centre for Transformational Leadership) opined in the foreword that “the pages of this book are written for personal reflection for individuals who desire optimum productivity and impact in his/her sphere of influence. Every paragraph of this book requires a high level of ‘reflective reading’ and contextualization for sincere application.” That is not ranting at all, just reality! It’s not just another book you see in the rank and file of motivational books, it is a life-giving book birthed with principles that imparts into the being of readers.

Here
we go for the synopsis of the book which starts with a prologue, defining in
its entirety how life should be lived and the purpose it is configured to serve
in each individual. Then comes the first Chapter, Personal branding:
Identity management focusing on personal branding that describes the component
tool of what we have capacity for. This bring us to forefront of what your
inner strength has got to offer you capable of effortlessly producing for
humanity consumption and the crop of problem you should be willing to solve
without much wait on the compensation you get from it though it might come on
the long run. The chapter sums it up the right definition of life as found in
the primary assignment we are by default called to serve.
Motioning
the momentum is what Chapter 2 offers!
Living for the moment as the title suggest captures how life can be lived within the
range of the ‘process’ – a perspective of having proper grip of the most
expensive but less use resources at our disposal, Time. In one of the book
reviewer’s word, Mr. Ayo Ogunyinka (Senior Patner, Ayodeji Ogunyinka & Co.):
“chapter two of the book paint in its real sense what we see in our present
world as time management in the overall view which the author captured.”
After
this comes ‘A stormy pathway’, the third chapter of the book which gives a
proper understanding of the stormy pathway where many folks don’t want to tread
but pregnant with it are womb of great inventions and doorways to
opportunities. This can be unleash in us if only we can get to turn challenges
to what shape us and never back out from it.
A journey into the world of adventure!

Then
the final of it all, fourth chapter takes us into the world of the practice of
self control. It brings to bear how you can shoulder yourself first in having
rule over it before gaining expression in others. The word of Dr. Dotun Reju bring it home, the
author impresses on our mind that if we will lead and be productive in life, we
must be ready not to be wedged by external forces but be ready to apply
personal internal control.
The
Postscript is a submission on how to start taking responsibility and stop the
blame game. On the overview, the book ‘The Governing life’ is a narrative to
detail how best life can be lived in its right process, from start to finish!
That’s the life I love to invite you live, may I at this point crave your
indulgence to come join in this discovery tour.
