It is easy for things to start happening so fast that many people begin to lose sight of what is important. Yea, the year is ending and targets must be reached. That might be the sound of determination. But, if that determination is not balanced it may lead to burn out. You don’t want that to happen now. What should you do then? A couple of simple adjustments will save you a lot of stress: a. Choose your one thing. That particular thing that if you achieve it, other things will become easier or unnecessary your year will still feel complete b. Settle it with yourself that there is no competition with anyone else but your old self. This way, you are not prone to rate how well you have done by the standards of others but by your own standards. c. Seek out better ways of doing whatever you may have chosen to do. There is never a wrong time to do it better is a saying you would want to keep in mind. Post by Ajuwaya It's midweek and I wish you a blessed day. #Inspi...

Living vs Existing

Image
Do you know that there's a  huge  difference between  living  and  just  existing ? Everyone that is born into this planet will have a space in the  earth's  history book. This space records that you existed on this planet at a certain time. That's all. But when it comes to living, your works, while you exist, are recorded on marble. This marble is the hearts of men that will live generations after you. Unfortunately, a great percentage of the human race are just existing and not living. When you ask most young males what (and where) they want to be in the future, most already have default answers. It is what they refer to as the perfect plan - that is, if all things are equal. Unfortunately, all things are never equal. Their responses usually go thus: I will have my masters at 23 (or 25). I will get a good job in a bank or oil company (the course studied is not even put into consideration). I will own 3 cars and have a sizable amount in ...

LAW OF CHANGE: History Repeats Itself Until We Learn From it And Change Our Path - Karma

Image
Have you ever tried to wish things away or pretend a particular problem will go away if you just ignore it? I have; a considerable number of times. But do they go away? Most times, they don't. Let's take this scenario for an example: you visit a doctor for your regular check-up and the learned man advises you to watch your diet because you are becoming obese; or, your bank account radar tells you that you are on the fast lane to bankruptcy - if you continue in your loud lifestyle. Then what do you do? Relax and wish it away? I've heard many advice that sometimes, all you need to do is to give " that challenge"  some time - allow it slide - and things would get sort out (by itself). Most times, we declare, It will pass, give it time. But does every problem require this passive approach? No. Going back to the sited examples above, if you don't heed your doctor's advice by actively  watching your diet, you will end up obese and sick. And of course, ...

TRANSFORMATION: The Result of Learning and Adapting

Image
"The lack of a silver spoon will set you on a certain path, but you needn't stay on it. If you are prepared to adapt and learn, you can transform." - Kingsmen: The Secret Service Let no one deceive you; everything they say does not matter, matters. But you have to choose the effect of this ' matter'  on your life - whether it be negative or positive. Motivational speakers always tell you that your background does not matter and also not a determinant to your future. I disagree. The wealth and affluence of a man may not guarantee the success of his son, but it does give the son a head start. Sometimes, the head start is all that makes the difference. Where you come from does matter. The information and environment you are exposed to matter. But  the result of a determinant is not fixed. Just like everything else, it's effect can be changed. What if you don't have this head start? Well, lots of people don't and it may or may not mar your futu...
