The importance of being courageous.

30th, June, 2022
***Courage starts with showing up and letting ourselves be seen.***
Do not confuse the word "courage" with "lack of fear".
*Being courageous means taking the steps and doing things in spite of fear.*
It's one thing to know what to do, and it's totally a different thing to have in you what it takes to step out and do the needful or necessary.
One of the best ways to be courageous is to understand what you're afraid of and then refuse to allow that fear to conquer you because if you let it, fear has the power to stop you from moving forward, taking risks and taking away most of the opportunities that are presented to you. Meanwhile, being courageous allows you to take chances, pursue your dreams and get what you want in life.
Have the courage to try out something new. Do things and fail in them, failure is the best teacher of all. Don't be scared of it, instead embrace it with open arms. Try to identify what's trying to teach you and don't make the same mistake next time.
Have the courage to make the first move. You like someone? Want them to hang with you? Want them to be your friends? Go and ask them for a cup of coffee, ask them for a drive and make the first move. Take things in your control. Be courageous and approach, the worst they can do or say is no. Accept the rejection and move on.
Have the courage to walk out of an uncomfortable, toxic environment. Your friends aren't supportive of what you do and degrade you every now and then? Walk away. Is your office group members forcing you into vices when you go for social activities together? Walk away. It's better to stay alone than to compromise your values and hinder your principles.
Have the courage to speak up for yourself and for anyone around you. Are you facing some kind of injustice around you? Are you bothered by it? Speak up. Take a stand. It takes a great extent of effort as well as guts, but you know what, it's all worth it. You're standing up for something that means something to you. You're being reasonable.
Have the courage to ask for opportunities and chances. Nobody is going to read your mind and give you what you want. You want a promotion for a very long time? Want a chance in your college competition? Ask for it. Put it in your authorities head that you're available and competent of it too. Ask for chances she opportunities now before it's too late.
Have the courage to follow your passion even if it's a road less taken. It takes courage to deviate from the normal she follow your dreams, but let me tell you something, it's one hundred percent worth it because it would keep you happy and if you work in the field you're interested in, you will definitely find success in it.
In addition, below are benefits of being a courageous person:
It helps you to deal with failures better
It broadens your horizons
It helps you to make better and fruitful decisions
Success becomes a little easier to achieve
It helps you take take responsibility for your actions
In the long, you get happier than ever.
The three most important practices you need to adopt while trying to be courageous are;
Be mindful of everything
Realize your fears and work on them
And lastly, be forgiving of yourself and also everyone else.
**It's your world, everyone is just living in it. Go and own it. Don't be afraid, be courageous!!!**
I appreciate you all for sparing a bit of your time to read this. I hope few lessons were learnt. If so, I would be delighted to read your thoughts in the comments box below. Until then, take care and stay safe.

Is life really too short?
Tuesday, 14th of June, 2022
11:40pm
*Let's think about it!*
So one thing that has been popping up on my mind recently is "how life is too short" and that you should love it to the fullest.
But it's not just that, I've been seeing things like" life is too short to exercise, life is too short to live healthy and self improvement".
Some of my relatives, when they see me spend minimal money (mostly because I'm very cheap and like collecting money). Tell me "how life is too short to collect money and that I should spend it while I can".
I also heard this quote that says:
" ***Live life like you will live forever, and live life like you will die tomorrow***".
And this really got stuck to me and it motivated me to write this article which brings about the topic: "Is life really too short?"
Well.... We need to talk about"life " here. Though it's so deep and complex but just to enlighten us more on life and it's meaning.
****What's the meaning of life?****
While there are many answers to this question (some from religious or from our perspectives), I believe that life can just be defined with one word: "**RESPONSIBILIT**Y".
Everyone, when they come into this world, they have a responsibility. Everyone has a "load" to carry. Some might have bigger loads while some might have smaller loads. What's important is that you carry your load.
This is the only way in my opinion that we as a society can move forward. If we were to take away responsibility, then;
What are we really doing or rather what should we be doing?
Society will crumble.
But why is this important to the conversation? Well, when one says" life is too short to........" well they are basically saying no to responsibilities. Which in other words would mean saying no to the meaning of life.
And I'm not saying you shouldn't have fun. You should have fun from time to time. But don't substitute your responsibilities for fun. You need to have a long term plan. You need to contribute to the society in one way or the other.
However, I would say that the whole " life is too short to...." argument can be used when we're taking about stress. Life is too short to stress and anxious. You have one body and one of your responsibilities is to take care of that body. Because you can't take care of your body when there's stress.
So to answer the question above at hand, remember;
***Life of too short to waste it! Make sure*** ***that when you leave this world, it has gotten a bit much better (because of you!) than what it was when you came in.***
Thanks for passing by to read. Hope we learnt something new today? And I would love to see your views on this in the comments section down here.

Why is it difficult to speak up?
10:25pm, 12th of June, 2022
I was doing my tasks earlier today when something came up. Honestly, I was not in the position to do any another tasks and wanted to say "NO". But I couldn't, I just got angry and frustrated about the situation, started thinking in my head about why there was so much to do? Why does nobody understand me? Why can't I live life on my terms? And many more negatives as at that thing has already taken over me.
This happened so many times, but what I noticed today is I never said NO. I didn't explain why I couldn't do it.
But, why is it so difficult to speak up for yourself?
Well, there are several reasons why it can be challenging to speak up about something that bothers us. Here are few reasons you might agree with:
***Moral values:*** It was always taught that if one of your elders give you a suggestion, then it's best to listen and follow them blindly. But sometimes, they can try to influence you in unrealistic ways. You need to have enough strength and confidence to stand up and make decisions even if it upsets them.
***Fear of conflicts:*** We are afraid of conflict, and feel like difficult situations may be avoided by not taking a strong stand on certain issues. This results to issues boiling at the back of you mind indefinitely. There are times when the other person needs convincing from multiple angles. They often need to be coated into agreeing with your point of view and going along with what you want them to. Eventually, you find yourself following along to maintain a good relationship.
***Afraid of being not taken seriously or ridiculed:*** We fear that we will be ridiculed or ignored if we say no and this makes us crave validation. However in doing so, we often end up being miserable. We don't want to be perceived as obstinate or unwilling to cooperate. Isn't that correct? These influences can make it difficult for us to speak. We need to begin with baby steps. Otherwise, we will feel resentful, powerless and believe the world is against us.
Below are just few suggestions to help out;
***Practice assertiveness:*** Acknowledge you feelings and state them clearly and directly to others. Next, stay tuned with your emotions and don't let them run you. To have a voice, you will have to listen to yourself first. Once you have mastered assertiveness, you will learn to be more comfortable with yourself. Now, start speaking when situations hit you. Start slow, but at least attempt. When you're assertive, there's a purpose behind your words. When you're aggressive, you're attacking someone or something.
***Be prepared:*** Be mindful that expressing emotions can be challenging. Life is not a straight line. Be honest with yourself about how you're feeling and why. It also entails being willing to listen to other people's point of view. Keep your emotions in check and concentrate on finding a solution that will benefit you.
***Trust you gut or instinct:*** There's an old saying that says" trust your guts" and when it comes to your emotions, that's definitely true. Your gut or instinct is usually a pretty nice indicator of how you're feeling. So if something doesn't feel right, it's probably because it isn't.
**Conclusion:**
Remember all these fears are natural, but they hold us back from speaking up when we need to or when the need arises.
We have a right hand, and our voices are invaluable. If we don't speak up, we say never get the chance to be heard at all. Do you agree?
Comment down on how you deal with such situations. I would be very happy to read through them. Until then, see y'all in my next post. Thanks for reading!!!

Let go and move on
11:25pm, 11th of June, 2022
***Move on from people who don't seem to understand you likewise from people whom you don't seem to understand too.***
I know this is very hard for everyone.
In our life, we choose to love and admire some relationships from deep within. But sometimes, this is not true from the other side. There are so many factors responsible for the gap. And whatever you do to have that relationship, does not work at all.
Don't try to prove yourself in front of others. If another person had already left you from their heart, no matter whatever good you might have done to them, they will not be counted. So, trust me, do not do anything. Leave them behind. They are not meant to be part of your journey anymore. Just take it as your fate.
Whenever in life, you are going to get attached to someone, be it a friend, a family member or any relation, try to trust and love only those who deserve that. If somewhere deep down your heart you're not feeling that connection not even a percentage (1%), then leave that feeling behind and move on
I admit that this is very easy to say but difficult to implement. But this is truth dear friends. I'm not saying that the person who's taking care of the relationship having you with him/ her is a bad person. No, every human being has some kind of intelligence, personality and humanity within them. We should respect everyone but we should not be friends with them if we are not in sync with them. It's better to leave the ones who might leave a detrimental impact on your mind and soul later.
You're very precious to your family, society and to your true friends and relatives. Sometimes, in all this chaos, we judge ourselves in the wrong way. So, don't just hurt or judge yourself based on some bad experiences.
This world is a beautiful place to roam around with, the human beings here are very charming to be loved and you're so special to yourself and your loved ones. So, don't feel hurt and if you feel so, try to work on that as early as possible. Because the longer the wound, the more your loved ones will feel hurt.
.
**Summary in a bit;**
Take care of yourself and be in the company of those who trust, love and understand you. And you won't always feel bad about other people's wayward behaviors.
I hope something new was learnt today. If so, I would be waiting for your comments down here.
Take care pals...... And y'all should do ensure to stay safe. See y'all in my next post!!!

Do you invest or gamble?
8th of June, 2022.
I noticed in today's digital world that it's no easier than ever to get into market. Everyday, there is a new app coming out , a new crypto and a new article about someone who made it rich.
But how did they get rich? Is it the right investment you can get lured into?
Do we ever save for a day or we get rolled into the market?
The real answer depends on you.......
No two people are alike and no two people have the same condition or wants. One man's advice is another man's downfall. The point is to know how to decide for yourself.
I believe everyone should invest because savings rate are horrid. But I believe everyone should invest differently.
*What do you like? What are your interests? Do you have a favorite hobby?*
*Do you love gadgets or have a favorite brand? Do you enjoy cooking but ain't very good?*
*Do you believe in your youths and mentoring young adolescents?*
There are variety ways to invest our resources at our disposal.
If you believe in taking care of animals, you can invest your time in a shelter ensuring more animals are saved.
If you always wanted to learn a different language, you can invest more in your education by taking a class. What better investment exists asides this?
If you enjoy a Pepsi product or other materials, you could invest in these companies to ensure the future of their production and a sense of pride.
****But when does investment becomes gambling?****
When you do it for extrinsic gains.
When you invest in Game shop on the edge of bankruptcy because Reddit told you so. Also when you invest in the top of sole top spokesperson or stock trader. When you take a student loan for a degree you don't need from a school you can't afford because society of your parents told you so.
"***Investments are supposed to bring you value not validation."***
Before you attempt to invest, ask yourself why. What am I doing this for? What's my goal and what are the odds it would bring me closer to?
If you're not thinking of those things beforehand, then you're not investing. If you are following anyone's guidance but not your own, you are not investing. If you are trying to play with money just to get rich, it's pretty clear you're gambling.
We all fall victim to our own securities at times. We start out with good intentions and mean well but our intention is misguided. With all of those access and how easy it is today. It can just take a little extra time to make better choices.
Always make wise choices, make great investments and get all of the wealth you desire just make sure it's an investment and something you value after all, it's your money.
Invest on right purposes now so you won't end up regretting you've been gambling all these while.
I hope this article of mine does good to us all. Don't forget to meditate and put them into action.
See y'all later in my next article!!!!
Forgive and forget.
***Don't waste your time about people coming to you to apologize. Focus on total forgiveness and that's all.***
Who hasn't decided not to act against a problem until an apology arrives from other part? Because I had. Many times in my past.
But recently, I have realized something that has stuck with me and has stuck with me and has bought me immense peace ever since.
It's just a waste of time waiting for the other person to say "**sorry**".
Below are just two steps you need to take to make forgiveness an act of habit for you.
****Take accountability for everything in your life.****
Giving the responsibility to someone else for anything that happens to you, is giving away your decision-making, your freedom and eventually you become the victim of the story.
*"Oh, it's because he did that to me. He must apologize"*. Does that sound like a person that has control over his/her life? It sounds a little funny though, doesn't it?
*"He did that to me"*. Come on pal, you're better than that, wake up from your slumber and get rid of that belief. Take a look at this little instance below;
If you're walking down the street and someone is coming your way pressing and looking at his phone, and when he comes closer, he then hits you with his shoulder, and the stranger continues walking while you expect that he ought to apologize to you. Isn't that just a big waste of energy, getting angry because you didn't get what you wanted from the other person. Instead, what you can do to use your energy wisely, is to understand maybe he's having a bad day. That this isn't related to you in any form. And from that state of mind, you can forgive him because forgiveness is ultimately a gift you can embrace to yourself.
The thing I realized is that if you can take accountability over everything that happens to you irrespective of you being involved or not. By doing so, you will surely find immense peace and tranquility and freedom you desire.
**The actions of others are a reflection of how they feel inside within themselves.**
This is one of the things I had to learn and adapt to harshly.
If someone doesn't apologize to you doesn't mean that the reason behind it is related to you.
The reason why a person doesn't apologize after making a mistake is that it's based on the "**fear of being wrong".**
A person that doesn't say sorry might have a deep and enormous fear inside of themselves. That's not our responsibility at all.
The only thing we need to know is to show our understanding. The mindset of" if he truly cares, they would have treated me better" comes from your mind. Stay away from that mind ( ego) of yours and sticking to this idea will bring far more benefits than otherwise.
****In summary;****
Sticking to those above two(2) key aspects would be very important if you're seeking for a way to deal better with social conflicts you might have now and in the nearest future. This will bring you more peace at the time of making a decision, you will have clearer mind, and the possibility of choosing a great alternative is going to be higher compared to before.
And lastly, is a **guaranteed freedom.**
Trust you all learnt something here? If so, I would love to know that in the comments section.
Until then, thanks for passing by to read.
See you guys later...................

Do you make life harder?
Life is difficult, but there's a strong possibility that you are making it more difficult for ourselves than necessary.
So do you enjoy a new challenge? When you notice an issue has to be tackled, your energy levels react. You want nothing more than to leap forward and ensure the problem is put into the ground like a lion puts down it's prey. After time, it ceases to be enjoyable and begins to resemble hard work. You're wondering what you got yourself into.
We don't always want to find the simplest solution to an issue. We want to toil and strive in order to feel as though we have earned something. Otherwise, we do not value the accomplishment.
While this helps us get through difficult times, the issue emerges when you apply this mentally to everything. Some tasks are not worthy the effort. Others are more rapidly accomplished. Just like a saying from Bob:
"*Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you are riding through the ruts, do not complicate your mind, flee from hate and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your visions to reality. Then wake up and live"*_ **Bob Marley.**
Life meanings are all explained right here is Bob's quote. Life does not have to be a constant battle all times. There's sometimes a better, simpler way. Here are just four ways you can make life more difficult than it has to be:
**Thinking hard work equals to productivity.**
We always think being busy is a good thing. Time spent on an activity is usually thought to have a linear connection with output. But the question is if spending more time on something produces greater results. Then ask yourself, what's the aim of doing this? while you are working on a task. Being clear on your goal allows you to see the big picture and strive towards it otherwise you will end up working in vain i.e less achieving insufficient required results.
**Believing that asking for help from others is a sign of weakness.**
Hell no! Don't trust someone who says: I made it all my own. The person may not be purposefully deceptive, but we all get assistance in some kind. It might be kind advice from someone who has been there or a concept generated by a predecessor.
We all need to rely on others in some way.
**Performing actions for the approval of others.**
People will condemn you if you donate to a charitable cause. Create a product and others will bring out all of it's flaws. When you start getting in shape, people will likewise tell you that you should love yourself the way you are.
When you do things for people's approval, you lose to who you are. Conforming to other people's expectations forces you to become someone you don't want to be. You eventually become a hollow replica of yourself, living a life constructed by others.
**Devoting your energy to something over which you don't have control.**
When you wait for someone to select you for a random incident to change your life, you're simply channeling your energy into useless emotions and ideas. Instead of wasting time worrying, analyzing or blaming others, concentrate on what your can accomplish.
Make an effort to better yourself. Examine the available opportunities. When you begin to focus on what you can manage, you can open yourself up to new possibilities.
***Brief conclusion:***
**When you grab the reins and determine where you want to go , life gets simpler. That's just it, nothing more!!!**

The sole reason behind everything we don't do.
A couple of days ago, I was having a deep conversation with one of my friends and I thought it would be a great idea to share to you guys what we are talking about.
So let me head straight to it.
**Fear is the reason behind everything we don't do or we do wrong.**
And when I say everything, I mean literally anything you can think of.
Once you start digging into the thoughts of what you don't want to do, you will find out eventually that it's all based on the "fear" you have.
We don't achieve the things we want because we aren't capable of reaching them, we don't achieve then because we let our fears take over them our whole bodies and lives at large.
I didn't say "we don't achieve the things we want because of fear". Am I you to don't fear at all? No, the answer is no. We are humans. It's completely natural for us to have fear towards many things. Now not feeling fear at all, that would definitely be something to worry about. One of my favorite quotes comes from "Harry Potter" that states" how to stop feeling anxious about anxiety";
*" Because there are those who don't feel anxious. They are of two very distinct groups. The first group: the dead people...... And the second group would be those people we refer to as psychopaths".*
The point I'm trying to make is that you shouldn't feel ashamed for being afraid. Each one of us has different tactics to tackle fear, and one of those tactics that probably everyone on the earth is using is perhaps the easiest yet most the self- destructive one too. The tactics is running away from your forthcoming challenges or situations.
I know that feeling. I know how overwhelmed you can get with the problem, that all you want to do is to leave, running even away from you own self. I know that because I have done that countless times in my life too. And I know how full of peace and joy can become when you understand that the only thing stopping you is your mind.
When you break free from you fears, you will start to be your most authentic self. That part of you that's capable of doing the unthinkable. That part of you that's willing to do anything in their power to achieve what they've always dreamed of. And you will be happy and thankful for the fear that you felt at the start because that was the little push you needed to mould up your life.
And what's not letting that fear of yours to take over you really gives you is the opportunity to do the things that you pursue or dreamt of.
****Conclusion.****
So you do feel about something? Good!
That means you are alive. That means that thing is worth paying attention to. Don't relax thinking too much on it, that would only make your mind to take control over you and fear will take your place. Act with love instead. Ask yourself, how can you act with sincere love in that situation? I know you will make your best move for yourself.
**Trust yourself and likewise, trust your decisions too.**
Trust we've learned something new and worth learning today. If you haven't, you can just spend a little time on this article of mine and learn some real life lessons. Trust me, you would all thank me later.
Thanks for reading pals. You're all loved!!!

Start now.
**This is a wake-up call to every confused 20 years old and above colleagues out there.**
There are few people in this life who have a concrete idea of what they want to be. This could be due to their background, family, economic status etc. Somehow they have a clear picture of where they are going and will not let anyone or anything get in their way.
If you're part of this blessed few people, you have my respect. I don't know how you do it but it's so amazing.
Then, there is also the majority, people like you and I who are confused.
You want to be successful in life but you are not sure how to go about it. You either read a course you don't like or you're employed or both.
You are letting your "fear of uncertainty" and anxiety cripple you. So you would rather spend your time worrying instead of doing something. You are waiting for the perfect time. Somehow, you expect a perfect life to drop heaven. Hell no!!! It's not possible.
"The perfect opportunity does not work for people who do not put in the work".
Below are just few cents to help which I've tested on myself thereby making it worth sharing.
First of all,
Decide on what you love to do. And if you don't,
Have an idea of what you love.
Do anything and everything that interests you.
*Do you to draw or does graphics design interests you? Do it! You can start with"canva", it's free.*
*Do you love to write? Do it! You can publish any article of your choice on read.cash it's free. Don't hesitate to click this link* *https://read.cash/r/Alex452*
*Do you love the techniques of coding? Do it! Head over to YouTube and it's free.*
*Do you need to be an apprentice to a business typhoon? Go for it! Where I come from, you will just need the help of a guardian/parent. Someone to sign agreement papers for you.*
*Do you somehow enjoy braiding people's hair? Go for it! You can start with you family/friends hair as a practice.*
*Do you love to talk and share you ideas with the world? Don't hesitate to do it. Start a podcast or a YouTube channel. Use Anchor, it's free.*
You can also use "Coursera" and "Udemy" to learn free courses that interests you.
Also there are two rules behind the above practices you need to strictly adhere to;
You don't need to have it all figured out ( no one does)
Whatever you choose to venture into doesn't have to be or feel perfect.
****In conclusion;****
Don't be afraid of going slowly, be afraid of standing still.
You will most likely stumble upon something you enjoy and be willing to go all in. But this will not happen if you're in your tiny room, looking at your white ceiling and waiting for the perfect time.
Don't let the fear of uncertainty cripple you, "FIGHT BACK". Get invested in something always!!!
I'm writing this for every 20 years old and above colleagues out there. So please let's don't hesitate to mould up your lives with the above simple practices. I trust you would all thank me later, If and only if you put them into practice.
Thanks for passing by to read this article. Don't hesitate to engage, upvote and likewise share to others as it might be helpful to them too.

Tips to attract more money (wealth).
***How long have we been planning to acquire more wealth?***
The connection with money and how we perceive money will be the most important prediction of how much we will make it in our lifetime i.e (get wealthier).
*Wealth like love, confidence and pleasure begins inside.*
This is a challenging notion to understand. Most of us believe that wealth is only determined by how many money you have in our bank account. Don't get me wrong, I recognize that wealth is more than just money. It's practically hard to feel affluent in today's society and if you don't have enough money to live the life you desire.
However, so much of what goes into becoming affluent occurs prior to earning money. The bigger fact that money is that it is first and foremost, a condition of mind. And when you understand how to have a wealthy mindset, you're in a great position to attract more money.
In this post, I will show you four (4) wealth-building strategies that will alter your mind from being afraid or frightened, by making money to feel empowered by it. Your internal money experience will fully have an impact on your external money experience. Learn the fundamentals of wealth mindset, and you will be presented with more possibilities for financial property.
*"He who is content with the least is the richest, for content is the wealth to nature"***_Socrates.**
**Learn about your money**
Anyone who feels powerless over money tends to overlook their finances. We do this because we are terrified of money.
We stay from our financial accounts. We avoid paying our debts. We try but to think about how much debt we owe. We avoid it entirely, hoping that it would resolve itself. But here's a little secret, "it's not going to go away on its own".
If you want to increase your fortune, you must first learn about money. In reality, you must be in command of it, which implies understanding the precise situation of your money (even if it scares you).
Take simple actions to become acquainted with your money. Look at you back account everyday and instead of panicking, try to be glad that you even have a bank account. Appreciate your money and strive to perceive it as "I have" rather than "I don't have".
As you grow more familiar with your money, it will become less intimidating to you, placing you in command of it. This will attract more money to you.
**Discover your underlying avoidance to money.**
The way your family members handled money in the past has a significant impact on how you handle money today. Understanding the money, worries and habits that were passed down to you allows you get past them and create a new wealth attitude that's more appropriate for you now.
To get your money pre-programmed money anxieties, ask yourself: what did my parents worry about money? How did my parents handle money? How do I behave with money in the same manner?
This understanding will provide a foundation for you to modify your relationship with money rather than of doing what you were trained to do instinctively.
**Make an investment in yourself**
The act of conserving money entirely exceeds the act of mindlessly and frivolously spending money.
People dislike conserving money because it makes them feel "limited", and hence disempowered when it comes to money. If you feel this way, I'd want to push you to about saving as spending money on yourself.
Saving money permits your bank account to expand and expand the more. This will eventually provide you with a financial cushion, allowing you to feel secure and proud of what you've done. When you choose not to spend money, you're genuinely investing in yourself and your prosperity state of mind.
Saving consciously increases your money and financial confidence, drawing greater wealth to you.
**Look for wealth in things that after either free or closer to it.**
Have you ever witnessed a sunset that's so stunning that it takes your breath away? Have you ever had a dinner that was so delicious that you couldn't believe you were eating it? These are examples of pure, intense and free abundant experiences that occurs all time.
The more you focus on the"free" money that life provides, the wealthier you feel. And because life reflects back to us, our internal condition, the wealthier you feel on the inside, the more money you will produce in your life.
*****Conclusion;*****
Take the required actions to orient your "inner world" to a wealthier mental state if you wish to experience financial abundance (wealth) for yourself. They will not only make you feel wealthy with what you have, but also attracts additional prospects of financial wealth to you.
Trust we all learned something newer today, as there's a saying they says "learning takes place everyday and everywhere".

Your leisure time: how to spend it.
*"No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you've got is life time. Go".* **_Henry Rollins.**
The quote says it all. In today's society, some people are wasting there precious time, which I believed that everyone should spend a certain amount of time on themselves to ensure a good opportunity to achieve their goals in the future. I think that's also an investment plan for young people it they invest today, they will make the most of their future.
I believe that time is not money, but experience is an opportunity, and experience is yours. Every time you put in a meeting room watching the a presentation is a time you might spend doing an endless amount of more fulfilling things. Every time, every heartbeat is the opportunity to focus on the plan, to discover something new, to love the family and friends to survive.
I'm also one of those that spend most of my time on social media and invested more in the frenzy. I feel now that I should spend more time on my studies it anything else may help me in the future. So I used to spend more time watching TV shows steadily and currently my physical activity is zero (0) as it becomes my habit to relax for a very long time.
Throughout my life, I've made mistakes and when I realized that, it was very far away from me. However, today is new day and I believe I can change my chances and make them equal.
So, I suggest a few things to my fellow readers here that they can also try out, which if you they trust me, it's going to be of great assistance to them.
***Take care of your body***
Eat a healthy, balanced diet with lots of vegetables and fruits.
Exercise as often as you can.
Get enough sleep.
As a person, you should make sure that you take care of your body dialy because if you take care of your body, you will always have a better health status, including better relationships. You may be able to cope with stress better if you have good health habits. In our childhood days, our elders teach us "health is wealth" of all individuals. Your physical health is extremely important, remember always to invest your time in looking it.
***Learn new skills (and master them)***
The first step to acquiring new stills quickly is to set a goal that you want to achieve. For instance, people who wish to invest in the share market or cryto currencies should acquire knowledge about the market and learn everything about it before stepping in to invest. Once you've established your learning goal, you can adopt approaches to develop new competencies.
However, when you pledge to learn anything new, you increase your career advancement opportunities, expand your professional networks and improve your knowledge.
***Travel***
"It feels good to be lost in the right direction"_Anonymous.
Advantages of travelling
Understanding different cultures
Meeting new people
Learning a new language.
Travelling as an hobby allows us to experience different cultures, challenges in different countries in am immersive way rather than just reading and watching them in movies. You will learn a lot. Travelling allows you to reflect on things you can't do at home, to think long and hard about things you don't have time to do at home and to return ready for the next adventure.
*****Conclusion*****
I would to implore us to go out and continue the trip to success ourselves. Reading our books and studying hard, learning and acquiring new skills and mastering them, going to art museums, travelling, eating healthy meals, steady exercises etc...... Take your time to pursue you dreams not people to understand you. Curb away crazy things about yourself, get some great meals for yourself. Believe in yourself. Build up your self-esteem because self-esteem is the beginning of trust. Trust will take you from a novice to a professional businessman. Nobody is going to like you right away, but you're going to have fun and succeed thereafter regardless of people's hatred.
I hope you all have learnt something new today or have just helped you to see a different perspective and approach on life.

The light side of failure.
***Why are we so afraid of failing?***
Why???
Why do we put failure on such a high pedestal?
Why do we value ourselves our failures rather than our achievements?
Are we doing any good on that?
I understand how much people want to succeed in their carriers, in their relationships, in their jobs, in life in general. But I also have come to realize that an over-abundance of ambition on that matter can do more harm than good.
Life is always putting us through some obstacles that we are always able to handle, even though our mind doesn't believe we are.
And yes, maybe we are good at one thing, that challenges come and we are able to manage and overpass them like nothing, but a life with little to no struggle has no meaning behind it all. What's the point of having a life like that? Don't you wish you had a little that's empowering and inspiring to others? Yes, of course. Then, if the answer is yes to that question, then why are we so afraid of failure?
That question had haunted my soul for many years because I haven't figured out the answer completely. But I've come up with a piece of the puzzle.
*The reason why we are afraid if losing, of not achieving what we wanted, of not succeeding, is because with that failure also comes uncertainty.*
We always plan things for success, completely ignoring the fact that maybe life has other plans for us. And with this message, I'm not trying to say that you shouldn't set your expectations high. In fact, I encourage you to do so but also be aware. Be aware that everything you do in life has a chance of failure. You don't need to think about it, you don't need to stress about it. Just say to yourself:
"*Yeah I'm going to do this, and it's going to be great. But I know it can also not go my way, but that's okay! I knew this is how it's supposed to happen".*
*Surrendering to the possibility of failure means failure can hurt you anymore. Because you are not resisting the fact that it can go opposite way. Because you're giving away your perfectionism and you're retaking your freedom and your peace. Because no matter where the outcome leads to, you are going to have have because there's no opposition on your part.*
This is what it means to flow with life.
Yes, you can have intension on things (you should have it on everything you do), but if you're imposing resistance because you want to have certainty and all you do must be under your control, then yeah, maybe things can go your way, but you inner happiness will fade away like a shadow in a dark room and the feeling of being empty will arrive when you least expected it.
**In summary;**
The best thing you can do is to surrender to the possibility of failure. This doesn't mean you're weak or conformist. It means you're not letting the power of failure torment you, instead, you use it as a motivation to work in your favour, and paradoxically, lead you to success.
All of a sudden, failure becomes something else , something different. If failure can't defeat you, then what can? Nothing. That's your new reality. You have transformed the negative impact failure has into you life. You start learning from it, and the roles in life have changed. There's no more winning or losing. There is only winning or learning. Defeat is not an option for you anymore.
And with that, you will begin to embrace the fear of rejection or not achieving what you want with kindness. It will look ugly at first sight, but you will know deeply that beyond all that uncomfort and rejection the most lesson is stored.
People are afraid of not obtaining what they want not knowing that the resistance their putting to they're energy with that, is distancing them from the most beautiful treasures that life has in store.
I hope you all have learnt something new today or just helped you to see a different perspective of life.
Thank you for reading this, I really do appreciate a lot and will be hoping to read your thoughts on this at the comments section.
We will see each other in my next post, until then, thanks for passing by to read. May God bless you all.

How to make confidence an act or habit.
How would life look if we were more confident?
Would you take more chances at work?
More friendships?
When people visualize their ideal self, they usually have a shit ton of confidence. But no one does anything about it.
Below are just 3 simple practical steps to unleash your authentic confidence.
****Get physical****
Think about a moment, you were your most confident. What's your body language doing?
Chances are, you're standing up straight in a wide stance with you chest out. Your posture is open and you're taking up physical space.
This is "dominant pressure" and it's common only among humans but the wider animal kingdom. When we are confident, our posture changes. This is an example of our mood changing our body.
Studies have found the inverse if also true: our body language can change our mind.
Harvard scientist, Amy Cuddy, studied how "power poses" change our body chemistry. People in high-power poses, had increased testosterone and decreased cortisol levels.
Just like our mind controls our body, our body language can affect our mood. And we can hack this for our advantage.
Try this, (actually do it);Put your shoulders back
*Put your shoulders back*
*Puff your chest out*
*Expose your palms*
*Smile.*
How do you feel?
Now, visualize talking to someone at work event holding this power pose. Feels good right?
That's the power of body language and you can practice it all throughout your workday. When combined with positive feedback, it will become an habit.
****Blend out****
Formula 1 driver, Daniel Ricciardo, does things a little different. In a high-staked sport with very serious drivers, Daniel is like a flamenco in a flock of pigeons.
If you watch Daniel in press conferences, he will usually say something unexpected. He goes against the grain and doesn't care what people think. As a result, he's one of the most popular drivers in the paddock.
When someone has true confidence, they're not seeking approval. They're doing what is natural to them and they're not conforming to fit in the mould.
Whether it's job, cars or clothes, we are all guilty of conforming to the tribe, sometimes this means watering down you true personality to avoid standing out.
It's time to flip today switch, tap into you authenticity and showcase it to the world.
There's no doubt that people will love the authentic side of you. We love people who own their uniqueness. They're magnetic because they are authentic and they don't care what others think.
Have a thought about moments in your day where you are conforming to the tribe . Could you be minimising your personality at work? Maybe you say what you're expected to?
If you make use of those moments to stand out and express who you really are, confidence will follow.
****Make practice your playground****
Imagine if Beyonce rocked up at Coachella without any preparation. No singing or choreography session and just expected to dial in get performance. This is how a lot of people think about confidence.
We can't expect to get to the event and then switch it on. To build confidence, it needs to become an habit.
*James Clear says that "habit formation is the process by which a behaviour becomes progressively more automatic through repetition".*
The structure of our brain actually changes when we repeat an activity over time. Neuroscientists call this "long term potentiation".
So to build authentic confidence, we need to repeat new actions throughout the day.
Think of it like practice. And the moment of your barista, Uber driver or neighbor are opportunities to get your reps in.
But these reps will be more than doing squats. You will feel wonderful after chatting with Cynthia the barista. The positive feedback will reinforce your new habit. The key is to begin viewing everyday moments into practice.
*****Summary:*****
Now, you can see that confidence is attainable. It's about finding moments in your day to flip your mindset, change your body language and get the reps in. Seek moments to stand out and soon "confidence" will become a part of your identity.
Our brain is incredibly adaptive. By using the technique, you will upgrade your comfort zone and your life will begin to change wonderfully.
I trust we've learnt something new today or just helped you to see a different perspective of life in action.

Nothing you do is neither your fault nor blame.
***Why do we tend to blame ourselves for every unsuccessful occurrence?***
We need to change the concept of "blame" in our society.
The title of this article might cause you astonishment, but that's the reality. You aren't the one to be blamed for those actions you did in your past that you consider at this moment.
You aren't guilty, yet you're responsible.
This is why I say we need to change this terminology because blame and guilt are one of the easiest ways to self-destruct us.
Many of the trauma each of one of us has are either we blame ourselves for what happened in the past. Is such a big waste of energy doing that, because if we try or not, blaming others is not going to change the situation nor will make the other person to do something about it. The only person suffering from the blame to the one person that takes it personally, and that one person is "you".
*What? I'm not suffering at all from blaming my ex-boyfriend / girlfriend who cheated on me. He's/ She's guilty and he/she is worthy of blame.*
Let me ask you this, do you think wasting you energy blaming and not forgiving will change anything? Do you think he's/ she's suffering because of that you're doing? Perhaps. But you will see that you're trying to make the exterior look right for you, not knowing by doing that you are destroying the beautiful interior of your existence. Even if you accomplish changing things by blaming your ex-partner, you will end up feeling empty, because all your energy was to change his mind not yours.
What your ex-partner did was wrong, even though he thought at that moment he/she was doing the right thing. But he's/ she's not guilty, he/she is responsible for what happened, and if he/she does not take accountability for his/ her actions, then you will see who he/ she is truly is, a person that doesn't deserve you in the first place.
The use of words is very important here, you will see that "being guilty" and "taking responsibilities" are similar in some ways, but they each carry very different energies.
By blaming someone, the only thing that is reigning and winning is the ego. What do you win? Do you doing peace in doing that, or is it just that your ego being happy that makes you feel peaceful?
*Then what do I do if someone does something that hurts me or makes an injustice to me? Nothing?*
On the contrary, you must immediately take full responsibility for what's going on. And I don't mean to say it was your fault for something that the exterior did to you. What I'm saying is that you must put all your awareness in the present moment to say to yourself: "How I'm I going to this in the best way possible?". By doing that, you're taking full responsibility for yourself, which is the only thing you can control in life. You.
By becoming responsible for everything that happens to you, you become free. Your level of consciousness will be high what nothing will be able to break you because you take the mentality of not giving bad energy to the world. Instead you can take all the bad energy that may arise from the situation and transform it to good energy.
That's what taking responsibility truly means.
By taking responsibility, you're saying to the exterior: "No matter what you do, no matter what you say, I love myself enough to not give in to your frame and energy. You can't do anything about it, I'm strong, I'm clear-minded, I'm enough. I'm the only person in charge of my life. I'm the only person who will give meaning to things. Not your words. Not your actions. Me"
With that mindset, there's is no place for blame. There is no place for bad energy. Just your most authentic self, forgiveness, peace, tranquility and love.
So if taking responsibility apply to other one's mistakes, you should also apply that to your own faults that you have made over the years that you haven't fully forgiven yourself for them.
Infact taking responsibility should aim first at yourself, then at others. I promise you that is one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Your own liberty. Your own pardon.
*****In conclusion,*****
Nothing you do is your fault. You did what you thought was right. That's all you needed to do. What you have done is the responsibility of the consequences, but you aren't guilty of anything. Don't forget that.
Whatever circumstances or situation you be facing, do it perfectly. Everything happens for a beautiful reasons, only life will reveal that to us in time.
I hope you all learned something new today or just helped you to see a different perspective of life.

When you're feeling down, meditate in this
25th of May, 2022
***Sometimes all we have to do is to allow ourselves to just be "HUMAN"***
I just want to tell you that I understand where you are. You've reach your limit, you've been under so much that you don't even know what to do anymore.
And because you are such a beautiful and wonderful human being, you didn't want to bother anyone with how you've been feeling.
You just stayed the same warm, charming and beautiful person that you've always been, only showing love towards others.
And when you're alone, is where you get to show your real inner self.
Where you so feel so tired of fighting that something troubling you for so long.
Where your have thoughts of if it's still with going on.
Where you don't want to get out of bed.
Where you lost the meaning of being here.
Where you just feel so tired of life.
I understand. I simply understand it's hard. And I know today has been harder than other days.
We have been taught that we always have to keep feeling good at all time. But we all know that's not just possible.
We are not machines, but yet we treat ourselves as if we are. Not letting ourselves rest, always working, always trying to improve ourselves, always being better. But we are not machines, we are humans!!!
Sometimes in life, we reach our own limitations, and we feel disappointed with ourselves when we get to them because we are not working as hard as we used to.
And that's what society and social media have taught us. But they are missing something very important. And that's is:
***Let yourself be human. Let yourself fall. Let yourself cry. Let yourself rest****.*
It's time for you to clear your mind.
It's time for you to just be, and only be.
It's time to face to fears.
Maybe that what you need.
Maybe that's the thing you've been praying for all these while, and it's just a matter of time that you give yourself that opportunity.
Just for today, let yourself be human. Let yourself feel.
If you have the necessity to cry, cry then. Cry all you need. Cry all haven't cried during the past days, months or years.
****In conclusion;****
We as humans need to disconnect ourselves from everything from time to time.
So just for today, don't bother connecting with anything. Not even with yourself. Not even with your thoughts. Disconnect yourself.
You be doing this just for a day, will not affect your life at all. So allow yourself to feel and disconnect from everything.
I can assure you that everything you've been worrying about, if it's coming to you or not. They will surely come to you. There is no doubt in that.
But just for today, let yourself just "EXIST" and you will discover a part of yourself you didn't know was there. And it will be beautiful and admiring, I can tell you that.
We will all get through this together, I will be doing the same today as well. Everything will be fine. Just for a moment, let ourselves be what we want to be.
I hope you learnt something new today or just helped you to see a different perspective of life.
Thank you for reading this, I really appreciate you a lot. And I would love to read your thoughts on this article in the comments section.

The power of doing nothing.
***Why is this now so much important than ever?***
Doing nothing....
Nowadays seems pretty impossible, don't you think? Because in every moment in our lives we are doing. Whether that's scrolling through on our phones or doing some tasks, we are always looking for ways to feel like we are busy.
If we don't find anything to do, then boredom arrives. And boredom is very dangerous.
Or that's what we are left to think?
I don't believe this is the case, at least for the very short term. Because living a life full of boredom doesn't sound like a great life for me.
The point I'm trying to make here is that for once in a while is healthy to do nothing and be bored, especially during these times. Those quiet and lonely moments my parents and grandparents had are full of technological distractions nowadays.
And our brain has adopted the lifestyle of always being working.
That's one of the reasons why people are not able to sleep at nights because the brain is still active processing stuff.
Resting is a very important part of the process of having a healthy life and a lot of us, I included, don't understand this. We still want to be always busy working to improve ourselves everyday, but it tends to a lead you to a path where you eventually will smash your face against the wall.
And that day has arrived at me today. I didn't understand what it was until I saw this YouTube video made by Cole Hastings. It's really a pretty video also very sensational and personally, I love streaming the videos in his channels. You should check it out (I'm not getting paid for this though).
https://youtu.be/a7Z71sJlJSk
But Cole said something that totally hit me;
"*It's in the nothing that everything comes into being. And it's in those times when you are done nothing absolutely rather than just being that you truly get to know yourself. And you truly get to love yourself. Every great idea, invention started from nothing".*
And that's when I understood.
I understand that I wasn't giving time to myself to enjoy the process of the things but supposedly I told myself I love. I was just doing them because of the heavy daily routine and just to tell myself that I was doing something with my life.
To clear my mind on this, I decided to just go to my house roofs and stare the sky and the sun that was setting.
It was a beautiful moment, and I can say that it helped me to realize how everything I was doing was because I love myself and I want to see myself better, but I wasn't projecting that self-love with actions i was taking.
It was in the action of doing nothing that everything shaped together. Just like Cole said in his video.
And that helped me to understand that sometimes is healthy and totally human to just lay or sit down and just E X I S T.
It also cleared my mind that and gave me a different approach towards the situations I was facing in my life at the moment.
And it feels good, it feels so good to be free of that useless pain that we give ourselves purely to feel like we are gonna through a lot of stuff.
**In summary;**
Doing nothing is gonna do you something that I will do from time to time. Of course, I don't want to do it often because, I want to do interesting stuff in my life as well. But doing nothing, sometimes, is the path we need to take to understand everything.
I hope y'all have learnt or will always learn something new or just helped y'all to see a different perspective on life. I really appreciate y'all for taking your time to and meditate through my article. It's always been my pleasure.

Bye for now. See y'all in my next article.
The other side of uncertainty( Fear)
Here's is a big question for us all. Why are we so afraid to walk through it?
Before starting I want you to picture a crucial moment in your life. When you didn't know what the outcome was going to be like. Then, I ask you this: what do you feel?, How do you feel when not having any sense of certainty about the consequences that are out of your control? And the most likely answer is the sense of fear.
"FEAR" is the only thing that keeps us away from doing what we really want to do.
*"Oh no, I will not text that girl because what will go after she texts me back?"*
*"Mnnn.., I should not go to the party because what if I don't fit in?"*
*"I really should not go after that job, I will probably not like it even though right now I deeply desire it".*
You can analyse these there scenerios and you will find out that fear can be categorized into different sections. Fear of rejection, fear of belonging, fear of failing. And the curious thing about this is that each of these fear in rooted in3a bigger fear that many of us are not even aware of. The fear of the "UNKNOWN"
The fear of uncertainties, why does it have such a strong influence on our body.
What our mind does when we face a moment that we really don't know where it's going to end, is that it creates that's story in our mind or makes us have feelings that wants to be a key part of our decision making. The ego is being threatened by exposing ourselves to the unknown. The ego says: "What are you doing"? This decision may bring you to somewhere you don't want to be. No no, pull off, don't do it. This thing may happen to you if you do it, yes you will regret it, "stop now"etc....
This ego will do everything in its power to convince yourself that what you're pursing with such passion is dangerous. But you will realize that in your end, you were never in danger. It's the ego that's so full of fear that, if you come to make that decision about the thing you really want, it will cease to exist. It will stop having such power over you and your decisions.
It will give you that you've always been looking for everywhere, and it's was always inside of you. Once you decide to listen to your heart more than your mind, it will be a game changer.
I can't assure of failure, but you have too embrace it. In contrast to what other people think, failure is one big step further towards success. Do you have the fear of failure?. Good that means the thing you're about to do is worth risking.
Fear isn't going anywhere, it's not a thing you can master at it's fullest and just never be fearful over something. We are human beings and we always are in the face of failure. That's why it's important that we take a different approach to it. Failure is such as beautiful as succeeding. Once you start taking the lessons only failure can give you, you will start seeing it as a wise friend, not your enemy.
That should teach you that fear is worth accepting. If you feel fear over someone or something, that means you're on the right path
That mindset you break you free from the false stories and sensations your ego uses to try and win you over. You will be conscious of you own automatic self-defense mechanisms, and that will give you clarity on your next move.
Fear will become a partner in determining what are the good things, instead of pushing you away from them. Your body is a strong and wise tool, use it in your favor.
I hope you learned something new today or just helped you to see a different perspective on life.
Thank you for reading this, I appreciate you a lot and I would love to read to thoughts on this in the comments. Make sure you read my other articles in my profile and share them with others, it might help them too.
Good luck to y'all. We will see each other in my next post! Until then, thanks for taking your time to read this. GRACIAS.....

2 tested and proven tips to an healthy life and happy life.
We all want to live healthy lives, we all want to spend more of our time with our near loved ones on this planet. To live a nourished, happy and healthy life, below are just two proven and helping ways to get one;
*****Eating healthily*****; We always have heard about eating healthily and also the phrase that says"You are what you eat". So there is nothing meant to disturb us from consuming healthy and good foods. Also by eating a well balanced diet and nutritious meal at all times i.e at the appropriate time too. I've noticed that in some people, though they eat a well balanced meal, but they don't eat it at the appropriate time. All these also causes improper growth thereby, they won't always tend to be healthy and when you're not healthy, you become unhappy. By taking these meal at the appropriate time and in the right proportion, we tend to stay healthy and enjoy our lives to the fullest.
*One more phrase we all should have heard people saying is;
*****Be happy and live longer;***** Now the question is, which part is the best among these two? I will say both go side by side. But still sometimes in our life, when the times are not in our favor, we should opt for any of these two.
*Let me share you guys a story here. During my hard times, the outside environment and things were not in my control. I tried hard to cope with them with stress. But due to certain uncertainties and uncertain times, I was not able to deal with my thoughts but I did not give up. I was trying my best to explore those times and also tried to get some benefits from those conditions. Numerous things were not in my control and so were the thoughts in my brain too.
Then, one day, I observed the patterns and recognized that I'm able to live happily right now which in turn was affecting my health. I thought to change my way to deal with these problems. I thought of the first phrase i.e eat well to live happily and I started to apply this strategy in my life.
I started to eat healthy i.e a well balanced diet. Within a few days, I realised there was an immense increase in my energy levels and due to the health state of body, my mind started to work in my favor. I started to think positively by default.
The summary of my little story is "sometimes in our life, some things are not in our control, so we should decide to work on those things that we can't control and take charge of our health.
When one problem is not solved with a particular solution, then think in a different way. You will be able to solve the mystery with a new solution.
But don't feel "STUCK"...... let's be happy to live longer at any cost of any situation we might find ourselves. It's really important for our health and well-being and in our life as a whole
Let's take charge of those simple tips over there, and wait for the successful outcome. We would all get to see it working positively in our lives coz after so many years of experience, I got to finally prove them by putting them into action and they made me live happily and healthy ever since
The curse of 21'st century
**The Earth was happy, the world was busy with their development. Countries were sharing their development. It seems the future of the world was bright and peaceful, but men will be men, men always wanted to become god. He always disturb the nature. Men's creativity and research sometimes becomes harmful and curse to human. An image of this Indian book named "MAHABHARATA written by "VYASA"" is coming to my mind as pandavas is nature and kouravas is men. They were both fighting but at last truth wins.**
The covid-19 virus is the curse of god to humans. It is the result of men to satisfy his ego and nothing else. The research on the virus by some countries was responsible for the birth of covid-19 virus which resulted to the massive destruction of the world, the hidden info about C-19 virus gives a big power and access to spread in the world from a country. Men is only responsible for the destruction of the world. The massive destruction in the world is more than the world war. War is many times better than this kind of virus. It's for some time, but a year has passed away and the power of the virus is still the same.
Tears flow from my eyes whem i read and see the following occurrences;
*Poors who had lost the only earning person from the family who extinguished the fire of hunger from their children.
*I was also very sad when I see widows and widowers struggling for the betterment of their lives.
*The carrier of students studying is at lowest levels
*Unemployment is in its peak in the world
*Developing countries now becoming under developed (Nigeria my country in particular)
*Schools are being closed, teachers are teaching online classes but not everyone is efficient to afford a laptop or mobile devices for lecture taking.
*Hotels, motel shops and every business organization is flopped in the world
*Fear of the virus is mixed in the blood of men. Today man tries to have every facility to ensure that nobody sleeps hungry
*No one is happy thereby putting a stop to man's aspiration and wants
*Everyone is trapped where he is, Mother can't hold the dead body of her son. The total scenerio has changed and when any form of those disasters come, the Poors suffers the most
*World economy had dropped down and it would have a direct impact to the poor and the weekend section of the world
C-19 has made the neck pad of our government to shift and break thereby dumping us. Only God knows the future of the Earth.
I just keep hoping it would get better someday. And let's not cease praying to God to hear our pleas and requests

Russia Ukraine Crisis-Explained.
*The tensions between Russia and Ukraine, a former Soviet republic have been simmering for some time but they began to boil over in early 2021. In January of last year, Ukraine's president, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, urged US president Joe Biden to allow Ukraine to join NATO forces. Russia which began sending soldiers near the Ukrainian border for "Training exercises" in the spring of last year and increased the number in the fall, is furious. The United States began to hype the presence of Russia troops on the ground, and vice president Joe Biden threatened Russia with harsh sanctions if it attacked Ukraine. Russia is seeking a legally enforcement assurance from the United States that NATO forces will not engage in any military operations.
*Ukraine, according to Russian president Vladimir Putin, is merely a US puppet and was never a true sovereign state in the first place. This isn't the first time that conflict has erupted between Russia and Ukraine. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, when pro- putin separates seized large swaths of eastern Ukraine, and has been fighting the annexed Crimea. Ukraine has expensive social and cultural ties with Russia, and Russia is widely spoken there; however, since Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, those ties have deteriorated.
*Russia went on the offensive after Ukraine pro-Russian president list in early 2014. More than 14,000 people are thought to have died as a result of the ongoing conflict in the east . Russia and Ukraine signed the Minsk peace agreement to end ten ongoing violent armed conflict in East Ukraine, including the Donna's region. As the armed conflict continues, Russia has announced that it will send "peacekeepers" to the region. According to them, Moscow is using it as a pretex to occupy Ukraine's sovereign territory.
*The European Union is affected by the rising tensions between Russia and Ukraine. Which shares a border with the European Union
*Only a few months ago, French president Emmanuel Macron travelled to Moscow to meet with Russian president Vladimir Putin in an attempt to defuse tensions.
*India is also advocating a diplomatic solution to the current violent between Russia and Ukraine through talks.
Productivity guides
So where do you start in becoming more of a productive person well setting rules for yourself promises, deadlines, to dos even will you start with one simple thing and that is nothing except your mental energy to get work and other important business stuff done but it requires discipline and energy. So how do you stay consistent and disciplined when working on a hard project for work. Or maybe just a school project where you go. oh well maybe I will just do this tomorrow. then tomorrow comes by knocking on the door with the project saying is it gonna be today. But then you go nope tomorrow. Yup that is procrastination. but the thing you want to know is how to fix it.
*My frist tip for fixing procrastination and staying consistent with any type of work. And it has worked for me is I would write it down in a notebook or journal dose not matter and I then would picture how happy I'd be once this project that im working on is finished then I'd write down a to do for this project and keep it and just every time I saw this paper and wanted to procrastinate I knew I couldn't. Because how important this is and thinking about getting this project out of the way for bigger things to come in life. Now if that doesn't work the paper to do and visualization method then I could tell you a couple other tips that might just work which is being motivated to get this school or work project done.
*Put on some music and make sure your space is nice then just work and figure it out as you go and it's that easy to the point where it's all about being disciplined and motivated to get work done so you don't procrastinate.
*And I just want to talk about one more thing that is what a productive life looks like before you can be productive with work make sure your life is productive and yet otherwise everythings a mess and you can have a nice productive life by having balance in everything you do balance it all out. Balance really is the key to a productive life. And with balance comes to what you eat what you put in your body working out sleeping drinking the right amount of water having a morning routine or a night routine taking care of your mental and physical health. So balance comes with everything in simple ways.

Keys to a successful well being "LIFE" in families and societies at large.....
Sometimes we get so tired that we don't have time for our families. It's so important to always show affection to our families, friends because they're are better important in our lifetime. "I would later check on them" is a bad idea as most of us do nowadays. And showing them that we care is always the best best. In some circumstances, you might be far away from them, do ensure you do give them calls mostly everytime and seek for their well-being. They would appreciate that a lot, showing them you care is very important to them.
Also by having small gatherings and letting the family member each to state their opinions, what hurts them, what they don't like that the other family members are doing. This will unite the family more and separate them not. So they could all become united as one. There's is a saying or proverb that says "UNITED WE STAND, DIVIDED WE FALL". With friends and families in, this would be of great help always. Onlike sometimes, we have that regretfulness of a family member no longer with us, we feel isolated and resentful, I should have done this or that, then we begin to shed tears. That means they misses his righteous deeds.
Also in my young senses,I would endeavor y'all to listen to my kind words, giving an helping hand is also very important, no matter the circumstances, it doesn't matter if they're your family members or not... They may be orphans, single and divorced families . Because it's tough being a single parent to raise kids alone. It's difficult at times. We all been there in situations that are no good. But then there's always a loved one that cares and helps along the way. Giving a helping hand is not bad at all. It gives you that special feeling that you've accomplished something so satisfying for you and your loved ones always. You will always have the mindset.... And you will never regret you did it...
Also let's endeavor to put God in all our everyday life activities and doings, it's pretty important to serve God without ceasing... Try this out and see God's marvellous handwork in your life..
Lastly, let's not be idle, that's the key word throughout this article. Let's always get something doing at hand. It's very important. As they do say"An idle man is the devil's workshop". Let's be hardworking and productive. It really pays a lot....
It's time to wake up and smell the coffee and do things well. And it's time to smell a coffee and do things well.
And with these above encouragements, it should help yourself and families, friends young and old, all together to make this world much better place to live for us.
I pray God gives us all the grace and opportunity to put into action these morals as we read through this content of mine. Blessings to you all.
Covid-19 Impacts on future
Around December 2019,we all became aware of the outbreak of Corona virus in China. Soon it started spreading in other countries resulting in global pandemic. By February 2022, this terrible disease already invaded India.
The pandemic greatly affected out lives. It changed the way we live and work. It had a severe and social economic impact, it also causes harm to our mental health and a huge number of people went into depression during this state. Situations turned worse when government had to impose lockdowns. Schools, colleges, offices, companies and every institute was forces to shut down. Out of sudden, everything was put on a halt with a complete question mark so as to what will happen next and the biggest question mark was in the young minds.......
From getting reduced wages to getting unemployed, covid-19 left an indelible mark to the future of the young population, the young generation was left behind during a crucial stage of their development. They could get stess and hopelessness. They felt precarious as life turned to highly competitive for them.
The newly graduates had an unbearable pressure on them. These fresh job seekers are struggling both the pandemic as well as the extreme circumstances laid before them. The young generation was left sleeplessly every night worried about their tomorrow. They could see flames of despair and declining future opportunities for source of income
I hope everything gets fixed well in the world at large as well as my country as we are about getting another government in presidential position....
