Happiness: Cause or Effect?

Image
Are you happy with your life the way it is now? There are probably aspects of your life you’d like to change, otherwise you wouldn’t be reading this book. But overall, can you say you’re truly happy? Most of us can’t, but it’s not because we’re still seeking success. Rather, we aren’t happy because we haven’t made the choice to be happy. When we think of being successful, we imagine that happiness is an inevitable side effect. We may envision ourselves with the perfect job, the perfect mate, the perfect children, the perfect level of income, the perfect home, the perfect car, etc. And we believe that all of that stuff will make us happy. However, that view is skewed. Material objects and other people cannot make us happy – only we can make ourselves happy. And it all begins with a choice to be happy. You probably don’t believe that, especially if you are experiencing challenges or lack in your life right now. But think about this: why do rich people still experience unhappines...

SUCCESS MINDSET

Image
To succeed at anything you must develop a Success Mindset. If you have ever wondered why two people with the exact same circumstances and with identical goals don’t get the same results, you know that there must be something less obvious that contributed to the success of one and the failure of the other. Adopting a success mindset is the determining factor which makes the difference between success and failure, regardless of other circumstances. Mindset is best described as the mental attitude that takes shape based on life experiences, environment, education and the ideas of the people we interact with the most. Mindset influences our interpretation of life’s events and predetermines the way in which we commonly respond to situations. Eventually, our frequent responses become habits and as they settle, they give rise to our predominant state of mind. People with a positive mindset tend to find opportunity in every problem, while those with a negative mindset feel...

WHY CAN'T YOU FORGIVE?

Image
I always tell myself that when you live your life without anyone hurting, disappointing, disgracing or offending you, then it means you never did anything worthy. I want to tell you that there are so many people who are buried daily, and their crime is that someone they offended couldn't forgive them. There are innocent orphans and street children out there whose crime is that someone didn't forgive their parents. The reality is that even as you read this piece, there may be someone you have blocked on WhatsApp or facebook, or you have decided not to respond to his/ posts/messages and the person's crime is that he/she is naughty, broke your heart, disappointed you or said something that really offended you. You aren't talking to your roommate, an old friend, a family member, your parish priest, your co-tenant, your parishioner, your Ex or that special friends because they offended you and you can’t forgive them. Yes, I really understand you, they hurt you. ...

IT HAS ALWAYS WORKED STARTING BIT By BIT

Image
As for me, I have seen that the most destructive single thing you can do while learning how to be productive with your time is getting overzealous after listening some motivational talk, or after reading some piece and deciding to wake up the next day, ready to spend 20 out of 24 hours working, deciding to not touch your smartphone at all, or creating a to-do list that’s as long as Wall of China. That is equivalent to you trying to create magic; it’s as if you’re begging a miracle to happen. You might feel very happy with yourself the moment you’re taking these decisions, happy that you’ve finally decided to live a saner, healthier life. What you don’t know is that you’re a cheat, you’re a seeking a shortcut. And shortcuts are problems; they never solve your problems, they add to them. You do not take one giant leap and get all disciplined and developed. You take small steps, practical, achievable. You start in the first week by returning every household item, every office item, to w...

Climbing each stones

Hint: a funny thing about obstacles is that they are usually as daunting as we CHOOSE TO MAKE THEM, according to our expectations. If we moan and groan and fall to the ground in hysteria, the obstacle seems to grow bigger and more intimidating. If we instead shrug our shoulders, roll up our sleeves and don our battle gear – the obstacle shrinks to the size of an anthill, and we can sidestep it gracefully. Affirm the possibilities

We Have to stand to the task This has really gotten me amazed how most of our youths refused to realise their potentials,  we keep reading the stories of great men like Bill Gate,  Aliko Dangote and the likes of them,  how old are they. It really hurts me when I see old men,  and also middle age people suffering, we are all on that same earth where some people  have woken up only t realise how wonderful it could be to utilize what they have around,  identifying some certain problems and providing solutions to it. At first,  the CEO identifies the  problem and also the solution,  then later the CEO goes to his bed or where ever he finds comfort while his employers do the work. How sweet could this be? Indeed it should be beautiful if you try do something unique,  don't be scared of the risk and at the same time,  don't ignore the risk,  maybe it's that one chance that could turn your stones to diamonds     ...
