Another Friday Good day guys,how are you doing today. I trust that you're having a great Friday. I hope you had a very productive week. Let's move to today's article on kindness. If you want to know how others treat people, the best starting place is to look at how you treat others. And if you don't like the way you're treated, there's only one course of action, to change your own behavior, because you can't change anyone else's. If it doesn't work for you, it won't work for anyone else, so be honest with yourself and do something productive with your time that'll change you instead of complaining about the way that life treats those that don't know how to work with it. One of the ways to find out how you treat others is also to look at how you treat yourself. You cannot treat people better than you treat yourself. People won't treat you better than you treat yourself. If you don't like the way you're treated, change your own behavior, because you can't change anyone else's. Treat everyone with kindness. One of the greatest gifts we can give people is our kindness. True kindness is seen when you give without the expectation of getting something in return. Treat everyone with kindness, not because they have a kind heart, but because you have. To create a sense of authentic caring and be genuine in your relationships will bring you unimaginable joy, freedom and peace, not to mention all kinds of opportunities that will flow into your life. When you treat everyone with kindness, not because they are kindhearted, but because you are. You'll get better and better with your character and also your reputation will be something people can talk about anytime. It's so important to show kindness even when someone doesn't deserve it. Even when it comes to your business, I believe in giving without expecting something in return. Not that you don't get paid for your service but actually helping your client or customer get it right is more important than you focusing on what you have to collect for the service rendered. For example, if you want to help local businesses maybe your friend's business but you don't have enough money to spend on ads or other advertising channels, why not share them on your own social media channels? Or if you see another small business struggling, offer to help them or even give them free advice. Another way to do this is with content marketing because writing articles and getting podcast guest spots is free and can drive traffic to your target audience. And if you can do that for free or a little stipend, there's nothing wrong in doing that. Thanks for reading through. I hope you loved it. All images are from Unsplash.

Rejection Good day guys, how are you doing today. I trust that you're doing great. Let's move to today's article. Rejection is really the fear of failure. And fear is a result of many factors. Rejection often stems from our insecurities, which can be triggered by several factors present in our everyday lives – our jobs, friendships, and relationships, for example. How we deal with rejection has a lot to do with how we perceive ourselves. If we don't feel good about ourselves, or worse, feel like we aren't good enough, we're likely to reject others before they can reject us. And that can be a very dangerous thing to do. Rejection means someone thought enough of you to let you know they're not interested. It means people took enough time to think and care about your feelings. Rejection is a big deal, whether it's from a boss, significant other, or friend. People want to connect with others who reflect their values. So when someone is rejected, it can feel like a hit to the ego and more. At times, we feel rejected by others. We may even feel rejected by people we love or think about ourselves. Rejection can make us feel like we aren't good enough. It's common to feel sad, hurt, or angry when rejected. We may wrestle with other feelings such as shame or guilt. We may also be afraid that we'll keep being rejected if we try again. But rejection doesn't mean someone isn't liked, valued, or important. It's natural to feel hurt when something painful happens, especially when we are emotionally invested in an outcome. Rejection can have a powerful impact on us, but our feelings of hurt don't reflect on the value of the person who rejected us. It's what we do next that counts. Rejection hurts. But it's impossible to avoid it altogether People who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rejection, but they're guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won't try for. The truth is that rejection is an inevitable part of life. But it's not an indication about the value of who you are. In fact, the people that wind up experiencing the most success in life are not those who avoid rejection altogether, but those who learn how to handle rejection better than anyone else. Even careful, well-prepared proposals won't get every answer you want. You're going to get rejected plenty of times. But rejection hurts less when you're prepared for it and have a good mindset about it. Finally, good preparation for rejection gives you another benefit: It makes you better able to negotiate when you're hearing "no." In this case, after you've been turned down, you can ask thoughtful questions to guide the conversation and to improve your chances of getting a better answer. Thanks for reading through.

Gratitude Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great. It's been a while here, nevertheless let's move to today's topic. One of the things I've learnt in life was the importance of a positive attitude. The ability to maintain a positive attitude can positively impact your overall health and well-being, and can even help to enhance your performance. One practice that really helps me to cultivate a more positive attitude is gratitude. Being grateful is a simple way to keep your focus on the positive aspects of life. It helps me to see the things about which I am genuinely appreciative, and taps into those emotions, which then allows me to feel a sense of positivity. These feelings can help to offset any negative feelings or thoughts that I might be experiencing at that time. It can also help to increase my overall happiness by helping to enhance how I feel every day. By learning how to be grateful, I feel as though I am happier in general. When you’re feeling down, it can be difficult to look on the bright side and see things that make you happy. However, with some practice, you can learn how to identify what makes you happy and cultivate it in your life. Making a conscious decision to find things that bring you joy can help to bring you out of a negative mindset and into a positive mindset. As you feel more positive, you will likely be able to perform better in school or at work and have an overall better outlook on life. When you start to feel a little down or out of sorts, there is a well-known practice to help you tap into positivity – practicing gratitude. It’s a simple idea – focus on the positive aspects of your life, rather than dwelling on the negative. It’s a lot easier said than done, but once you begin to practice this on a regular basis, it can become easier. In fact, practicing gratitude on a regular basis has been shown to improve overall health, promote a more positive attitude towards life and make people happier. It’s easy to focus on the big things in life — your marriage, your job, your favorite sports team — when you think about what you’re thankful for. But the fact is, gratitude doesn’t have to be saved for the big things in life. The habit of being grateful starts with appreciating every good thing in life and recognizing that there is nothing too small for you to be thankful for. The small things you can be grateful for is good meal is something most people appreciate but often take for granted. It can also connect us to the past and future, forging universal memories and experiences. There are so many things in life we take for granted, yet if we stop to think about it, we should be grateful for the small things, too. The first step in practicing gratitude is remembering to notice the little things in life and being thankful for them. It's a lot easier to be grateful for the big things, like having a job that pays the bills and a family that loves you. That can take care of itself. But what about the little things that you tend to overlook, like the sunrise you wake up to on a daily basis, whether you see it or not? Or the fact that you have running water in your home? Or that you have food to eat? How about taking time to notice these things can actually have a positive effect on your attitude overall. When was the last time you stopped and thanked your lungs for breathing? Or your heart for beating? It can be easy to forget the little things that make life worth living when we get caught up in the business of doing everyday tasks or chasing after material items we think will make us happy.

Don't discredit the achievement of others Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great today? Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Anytime you pray, it's very necessary for you to be specific. Whenever you ask for something from God, that shows that you believe in God's power. Make sure you ask in faith, and not doubt, then, ensure that you're prepared to receive what God has for you, which sometimes might not be what you want. If you've ever asked God for something only to feel disappointed when your request wasn't answered the same way that you thought. That shows us know that He always has our best interest in mind. God doesn't always answer yes, but He always answers with love. No matter the situation you find yourself, there's always something to be thankful for. Whether it’s about your job, your finances, your relationships, or health, God is working behind the scenes in your favour. If you have prayers you’ve been praying for quite some time, keep the faith. God is at work behind the scenes. Nothing is impossible for God to do. There are times in our lives when we feel like we do not know how to ask God for things and we end up looking for the best way to ask God for things so that they'll bring the best results. Well, the Bible tells us to “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7). This to me is the template to asking God whenever you want. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. I’m sure you’ve heard phrases like “don’t be a hater” and “don’t be a hater just because you failed to be successful. I have seen it time and time again that people who are extremely jealous, threatened, or just plain angry about other people’s success, wind up being miserable. Never discredit the achievement of others. That’s one of the worst possible things you can do. When you make fun of other people, you are making yourself look small and petty. There’s always going to be somebody better than you. You can either use other people’s successes as motivation to make your own success. Or you can just stay miserable. Your misery will probably carry over into your life and everything else you do if you are not careful. Instead, we should try to be nicer to people and do everything you can to improve your own situation instead of trying to cut others down in order to come out with a stronger competitive advantage. At the end of the day, we are all fighting for the same things. We all want happiness, love, a sense of belonging and community. We want health, money and a rewarding career. Some people will have advantages over other people because of their circumstances. They were born into wealth or had parents that brought them up with a good sense of self worth. Or maybe they have great connections in the music industry or have been working hard for many years to become great at what they do. Don’t believe that you have to be the best at everything in life. It’s okay to be average at something and it’s okay to be second best. You can still excel at other things and make a difference in other peoples lives. If you are always trying to compete with every person around, then you are going to put yourself under a lot of unnecessary stress. Instead, we should try to be nicer to people and do everything you can to improve your own situation instead of trying to cut others down in order to come out with a stronger competitive advantage. There is no shortage of people out there who are more talented than I am. That’s how it’s always been and how it always will be. That being said, I don’t understand why we constantly try to find ways to hate on other people and make them seem like they aren’t as good as us. I’ve seen people try to use the success of others as a way to make themselves feel better about their own shortcomings. There are plenty of people that have done things that I’ve said I wanted to do or will do in the future. These are things that I often tell myself that I’ll do after I accomplish other things. It might be a musician or performer who just won an award or someone who has a successful side business or even someone with an amazing job and an apartment they can afford on their own.

Don't stop asking Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're having a great day? Let's quickly review my previous article. Love and hate are two powerful words that are directly opposite themselves and they mean two entirely different things. I know we must have heard that we should love our neighbor, and this entails the ones that love and hate us. Our supposed enemies are also part of those we're to love. This is both a hard thing to do because there's practically no reason to love those that hate us, some of them do even want anything good for you. To love those people requires a high level of maturity and understanding. Loving good is essentially a thing we all need to learn if we want to see a better society. Also you can't say you love good without hating evil. If we are concerned about trying to figure out how to fix it the problems in the society the same way we're concerned about the things that are wrong, we'll see very positive changes in the world. When you love good, you'll be motivated to defend it anytime regardless of how much people are against you. Every time someone does something evil, we should be part of the first to counter it, no matter how popular it seems. When we hate evil, we must love what is good else we would just be wasting time. It's very important to know that you'll only put your time efforts in things that you love. Love of the wrong things is just you putting yourself on the wrong path and setting yourself up for self-destruction. Loving what is good is not going to be easy because the world in it's default state is tilted towards the evil side, therefore popularity is not enough indicator for loving a thing. You must learn to love good regardless of how unpopular. We should always be able to discern when we start compromising on what we call evil or good. The world has degenerated so much that the things that are normally evil have been termed to be good. Nevertheless, truth will always win because what is good will remains to be good and evil will remain evil. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. When you pray, it's important to be specific. When you ask for something, you are harnessing the power of God. Ask in faith, not doubt; then be prepared to receive what God has for you, not necessarily what you want. If you've ever asked God something and then felt disappointed when your request wasn't fulfilled in the exact way that you'd hoped, know that God always has your best interest in mind. Though God doesn't always answer yes, he always answers with love. No matter the situation, you should always look for something to be thankful for, and never get down on yourself. No matter what, whether it’s about your job, your finances, your relationships, or health, God is working behind the scenes. If you have prayers you’ve been praying for quite some time, keep the faith. God is at work behind the scenes. Nothing is impossible for God. There are times in our lives when we feel unsure how to ask God for things. How do we ask God for things in a way that will bring about the best results? The Bible tells us to “Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.” (Matthew 7:7). What exactly does this mean, though? Does this verse mean that God will give us anything we ask for? Does it mean that if we pray, God will change His mind and give us what we ask for even if it isn’t the best thing for us? Can we ask God for anything, or only certain things? As a Christian, I would like to share with you a few tips on how to ask God for things: 1) Begin by asking God to reveal what you should ask for. 2) Ask in faith knowing that God always answers our prayers and that He always hears our prayers. 3) Ask with a humble heart, knowing that even though you may not get an answer to your prayer, you still need to be thankful to God for all the blessings He gives you each day. 4) Ask with a heart filled with gratitude and praise, knowing that whatever He gives you is going to be good. 5) Don’t worry about timing; just know that God is trusting you with something very special.

Love/hate Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you've had a great weekend. Let's quickly review my previous article. Whenever a person comes to you with a problem or an issue, I think the one of the best things you can do is to even show sincere concern even if it's a little. It can be in words but does only mean words, rather beyond words, you should show that you genuinely care. There are different ways you can show that you genuinely care, you can do that by listening to the person aptly and wholly, you can try to help if it's within your power to help, or you can link the person with someone you that can help to provide the adequate solutions. And when you show care, don't get too involved if you know you won't be available to help the person thoroughly as this might cause you emotional guilt. When you are trying to show care, you can do that by listening and offering advice if needed. But what if they don't want your advice? Well, not everyone will want your advice, some people just need to a person they can talk to about their problem just to have a sense of release from their burden. When listening, do that silently and don't interrupt the person while at it. The person will feel comfortable to speak out and let it all out. Also do not change the subject, even if the problem seems small to you. This will help the person understand that you know how he or she fells instead of underrating the problem. What is a problem to another person might not be to you. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. Love and hate are powerful words that use parallel language to describe two opposite motivations. We hear the call for us to love our neighbor, but we also hear that we shouldn't love our neighbor as a way to eliminate our enemies. Instead, it encourages us to love our enemies as an act of good will toward those with whom we have conflict. This is both a hard and easy task. It's hard because there are people who seem to want nothing good for you, but it's easy because loving them requires so little of you. Our words have the capability to be full of both love and hate. Do you know what would happen if we used the same energy hating evil as we used loving good? If we used the same passion and intensity in thinking about all the things that are wrong in the world as we did in trying to figure out how to fix it? If we used the same enthusiasm when thinking about how things were bad than we did when thinking about how they could get better? And if we used the same consideration when trying to find ways to make things better than we did when trying to figure out why they were so bad? We'd live in a very different world. When we love good, we love the way things are supposed to be, and we are motivated to defend them. Every time someone does harm to what is good and lovely in the world, we should be the first to rise up and say, "No!" When we hate evil, we love what is good and hate what is evil. We ought to hate all forms of evil because all forms of evil defile the good that God has made. When we fight against evil, we are defending what is good. We should ultimately love good and hate evil. That's why it's so important for us to realize that what we love directs our efforts and where we put our energies. Love of the wrong things will waste our lives because it puts us on the wrong path; on a path away from who we were designed to be and toward self-destruction. It's easy to love what you want and what makes you feel good. We often love things that are easy to love, but that's not the same as loving what is good. Loving what is popular is not the same thing as loving what is best. It's often easier to love something that makes us feel good than it is to love something that we don't want to do. We should always be on guard to see if we are loving good or hating evil. There are certain things in this life that we should definitely love, and there are certain things that we must hate. Sometimes it's hard to disguise a bad thing as a good thing, but the devil rarely shows his true colors when he is tempting you. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it.

Show concern for people Good day guys, how are you doing today? Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Nobody likes to admit to being wrong or owning a mistake or a conflict in most situations. That’s a common thing among human beings, everyone tries to avoid anything that'll make us look wrong or bad. However, we all need to learn to take responsibility for things that happen and you must first realize that you contributed to that very situation or circumstance. This requires you not to blame others or find excuses when a problem arise or a mistake is made, Instead, you acknowledge that there is a problem and look for ways to solve the problem or reduce the effect and even prevent that problem from happening again. The first thing to do to make things better is by agreeing that you had a part in every situation that has been bad or wrong. One of the signs of low self-esteem is for someone to always look for ways to push blames to others or make excuses in a bad situation. If you continue to blame others or make excuses when things do not go well, you'll never learn from the mistake and do better next time. If you have a strong feeling of self-worth, you'll respond betterto criticism, mistakes instead of reacting the wrong way. Therefore, the next time you find yourself in a wrong or bad situation, do not push the blames to others instead, stop and think about what you can learn from situation that would help you do better next time. This will help you in the future, it will improve your performance in the future. Be willing to accept that you're wrong about a thing and this will improve your self-esteem. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. When someone comes to you with a problem, show sincere concern. It is not just a matter of words; it is a matter of showing that you genuinely care. There are several ways in which you can do this – you can listen, try to be of help, reassure the other person that he or she has a friend who is ready to help if needed. You should be careful not to become too involved, as that can create undue stress. When someone comes to you with a problem, show sincere concern. It is not just a matter of words; it is a matter of showing that you genuinely care. Perhaps you are trying to help someone else with a problem. You show you care by leaning forward, nodding and offering advice. But what if they don't want your advice? Many people just need to vent. They need to tell you about their problem. When someone comes to you with a problem, show sincere concern. Don't say, "I know what's wrong with you," or, "It will all work out." Just silently listen. The person will find comfort in this. Your focus on him or her will amaze the person and make him or her feel better. Allowing others to vent is an art. When someone vents to you, allow him or her to finish without interruption. Don't change the subject, even if the problem seems trivial to you. If you are so inclined, write down your ideas for solutions on a piece of paper so that the person doesn't feel judged.

You should .... Good day guys, how are you doing today? Let's quickly review yesterday's article. One person’s happiness is enough to influence another person that has been having a bad time all day, by doing this, this person which boosts another person’s mood he meets later. Have you ever realized that happiness is contagious? When one person is happy and it affects another person's mood, it is easy for that cycle to continue and the end result will be that more people become happy. This also relates to the workplace, when people are happy at work, they will be more more productive and creative. They'll always find a way to get things done well and at the right time and promptly. They'll also be willing to help each other often. The more productive people are, the better any company will be. The well-being of is directly influenced by the people around him. When you mingle with cheerful people, you'll have a happier face and then a good sense of well-being. You'll need to surround yourself with happy people because life’s too short to spend it with miserable people. If there is someone that always brings your down, find ways to avoid them. Surround yourself with people that make you happy because life’s short and you only live once, why not spend it being happy. Life is a gift, and you deserve to be happy. Stop being an unhappy person by surrounding yourself with unhappy people. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. No one wants to be responsible for a mistake or a conflict in most situations. That’s what being human is all about – trying to avoid things that make us feel bad. However, taking responsibility for your actions requires the realization that you play a part in every situation or experience. It means that your first reaction when a mistake is made or a conflict arises, isn’t to blame others or make excuses. Instead, you swiftly acknowledge there is a problem, identify your role in it, and implement an action plan to minimize (or entirely eliminate) the chances of it happening again. If a relationship breaks down, or you suffer at the hands of unfair treatment, finger-pointing may be tempting. After all, it’s convenient, and often it can make the pain go away quickly. However, taking responsibility for your actions requires the realization that you play a part in every situation or experience. Getting mad at other people for causing everything to go wrong will only create more damage and prevent any chance of you changing your approach. The first step to making things better is self-reflection and acknowledging that you have a part in every situation. If you find yourself in bad situations and your first reaction is to blame others or make excuses, that’s a sign of low self-esteem. Here’s why. Feeling good about yourself comes from being able to accept responsibility for things that go right and things that go wrong. If you blame others or make excuses when things aren’t going well, it means you’re uncomfortable owning up to your part in what’s happening so you can learn from it and do better next time. There’s a strong link between feelings of self-worth and how you respond to criticism, mistakes, or conflict. The next time you find yourself blaming others or making excuses for something, stop and think about what you could learn from the situation that would help you do better next time. How could this experience improve your performance in the future? Be the kind of person who stands up for what they believe because it’s the right thing to do, even when it’s hard or inconvenient to do so. Be willing to own up to your part in any problems, mistakes, or conflict - this will have a positive impact on your self-esteem and you’ll be rewarded with more productive relationships, greater opportunities and improved performance.

Happy People Good day guys, how are you doing today? Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Excellence is a way of life we all aacan choose. Everyone wants excellence but not everyone is ready to put in the work necessary to achieve the excellence they desire. One of the reasons why most people do not strive for excellence is because they do not make excellence their top priority. The truth is that achieving excellence requires sacrifice. You have to be willing to give up some things so that you'll be able to attain excellence. But, not everyone is ready to make sacrifices. People just want growth without paying the price required to achieve the growth desired. Personal Excellence is a journey where you develop yourself positively and improve every aspect of your life. Personal excellence is not like a course that you can purchase. It is like a personal learning process that requires you to put in hard work, discipline and patience. You must be willing to accept where you are in the journey to personal excellence and work towards improving day by day. When you find out where and who you are in the journey to personal excellence that you'll be able to determine what you need to do in order to be better than who you already are. The next step is for you to decide what type of person you would want to be and what you'd consider personal excellence to be and then you set goals for yourself, and once you have set your goals, you can now start to develop the mindset required to allow you achieve your goals. Personal excellence cannot happen overnight. It takes time, discipline and commitment for you to make your wish happen. You will have obstacles on your way, but if you remain committed to improving yourself, you'll one day achieve your aim.

Excellence Good day guys, hope you're doing great today? Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Person will only depend a person that's known to keep his word. Whatever make you say that you'd do something and you later end up not doing it will make people begin to consider that you're not dependable and if you consistently fail at your words, no one will take you serious again. Sometimes life happens, and you're unable to fulfill your promise, in a case like that, it's best for you to talk to the person early and apologize instead of leaving the person in the dark waiting for you. If you said you’re going to do something, then make sure you do it. Don’t go about making promises that you know you can’t fulfill. If you want your reputation for honesty and truthfulness to remain and last long, you must ensure to fulfill your promises or you do not make promises at all. Ensure that you're a man of your word and you keep every problem you make. When you're unable to keep a promise you made and you tell a lie in order to excuse yourself of the guilt or repercussions, you may escape but because truth cannot be hidden, the day people eventually find out, you'll have let down a lot of people who think highly of you. Don’t leave other people hanging and waiting for you. Even of you had a good reason for not keeping through with your promise, but for keeping people hanging, you've made other people start doubting your word and no one will want to take you serious anymore. If you can’t deliver, then don’t even give people the impression that you could have from the beginning. Be the man or woman that others can trust. Be honest to tell people the truth form the beginning. Do not give people half-truths, be very clear and plain with them do that they don't expect too much from you. You may think that others will understand your plight, but as you know that not everyone want to hear what you have to say, you might begin to loose your respect in the sight of others. It only takes a few time of letting people down for them to not trust you again. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. Excellence is a state of mind, actually it is a lifestyle choice. We all want excellence in everything we do. The question is, why do most of us settle for mediocrity? Why don't we make excellence as a top priority in all aspects of our lives? As a matter of fact, most of us have been conditioned to think that striving for excellence is an elitist attitude and the will for excellence is a sign of conceit. However, we fail to grasp that the will for excellence is an indicator that you believe in yourself and you believe that you can achieve what others can not. If this is true, why are we settling for mediocrity? I believe that one of the main reasons why we do not strive for excellence is because we are not ready to make excellence as our top priority. The reality is, achievement requires sacrifice. We need to be willing to give something up in order to get something better. However, almost all of us are not ready to make sacrifices. We just want growth but not giving up something in return. Personal Excellence is the journey of positive development beyond one’s self and is a step by step process of improving oneself in every aspect of life. Personal Excellence does not favor any particular philosophy, faith, religion, race, age or gender. Personal Excellence is not a self help course that can be purchased it is a learning process that requires hard work, discipline and patience. It requires a willingness to accept what it is and how it works. The entire process begins with an open mind and an honest assessment of where you are and what you want to be. The first step on the Personal Excellence journey is accepting who you are now and finding some realistic standard by which you can measure yourself against. This allows you to determine what it is you must do to be better than you already are. To do this, you must decide what type of person you want to be and what you consider success to be. Once you have set your goals, you can begin to develop the mindset that will allow you to achieve them. It is important to remember that Personal Excellence is not something that just happens overnight. It takes time and commitment in order to make it happen. You will have lapses in the way you think and live, but if you are committed to improving yourself, focusing on your character and your actions will help keep you from getting off track. Once your mind-set has been established, the journey can begin” . Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Promises Good day guys, how are doing today? A person who keeps his word is a person whom others can depend on. When you commit to doing something and then don’t follow through, you make people think that they can’t depend on you. Mistakes happen, but when they do, make sure you own them, apologize, and do what you can to make it right. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. Don’t make promises you know you can’t keep. If you wish to maintain your reputation for honesty and truthfulness, don’t say things just to be polite or avoid conflict. Be a man of your word and keep your promises. Promises are made to be kept and people will have a higher regard for you when you keep your word. It may be easier to tell a lie or weave an intricate web of half-truths to get out of a commitment, but you’ll eventually be found out. If you say you’ll do something, then do it. Don’t leave others hanging. You may have thought that you had a good reason for not following through, but you made other people doubt your word when you didn’t keep your promise. If you say you’re going to do something, make good on it. If you can’t deliver, don’t make the commitment in the first place. If you already promised to do something, do it. When you promise to do something and to keep to your word, you become untrustworthy. Ensure to keep the promises you make to others and if you know you're not going to keep your promises, don't make them then. When you show that you're trustworthy, then you'll be respected by others. Be the person that can be trusted. Be honest and tell the truth when you don’t know something. You may think others will see through your ploys but they don’t. It only takes a few times for people to start trusting you and then for them to never trust you again. When you commit to something and then don’t follow through, people see you as unreliable.

A break? Maybe it's time to take a break. Over the past few days, seven or above though, I've been disappointed by how much Rusty @TheRandomRewarder has ignored my articles for absolutely no reason. My earnings have dropped badly to barely a dollar on each which is unlike before. Although my earnings before were not as I desired considering that I've been in this platform @Readcash.support for ten months. This is why I feel like taking a break for now, because the earnings have been so poor that it doesn't even justify the amount of efforts it takes to get an article out. It takes a lot of work and time to even think of a topic not to talk of even creating the body of the article. And if the platform will remain relevant, it's best that the purpose if the platform is being executed. From the understanding, the platform is created to promote @BitcoinCash but how will @BitcoinCash be promoted when articles are not rewarded as expected by @TheRandomRewarder My previous article was written to Rusty with the hope that it'll notice my article and visit it as it should, instead, that article had even been the lowest I had in a long while. I know it feels like I'm complaining which I'm actually doing. I hope this makes Rusty @TheRandomRewarder come back to its original self. I might on a break for some weeks to see if anything will change, and maybe get more ideas for subsequent articles. Anyways, thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you.
Speak up! Good day. Before I review yesterday's article, I want to quickly write to our dear Rusty. Dear Rusty @TheRandomRewarder , I understand that you cannot be perfect to visit everyone, nevertheless you cannot so imperfect to ignore my articles this way. You've been saving lives and I'm sure you're not about to stop doing that. This is just my humble plea to visit my articles like you used to do. The algorithm might not favour me like that, nonetheless, you can still fair enough to visit. Kindly visit me like you visited @Gaftekloriginal Back to my review now. Everyone wants and likes to be respected. We all look forward to being respected in our immediate environment and in our place of work. But you have to earn that respect by showing that you're worth it and by showing that you're a responsible person, by your actions and conduct. One of the things to learn if you want to be respected is to learn to apologize when you make mistakes, and apologizing at the right time. Nobody is above mistakes. That is a universal truth. But what we do when we make those mistakes will determine whether or not we are worthy of the respect of others. The only way to reduce the mistakes you make is by learning from the mistakes. No mistake is to big or small to be learnt from. There is nothing to be ashamed of when you make mistakes but it is a thing of shame for you not to acknowledge to a mistake you made even after you've been informed about it. Learning to apologize for mistakes is difficult because it defies the human nature to be always right and never wrong which is caused by pride. The funny thing about apologies is that you might not understand how much you hurt the other person, nevertheless just apologize because it makes you a responsible person instead of justifying why an apology isn't necessary. Apology is a way of showing respect to people around you and the people you work with or meet everyday. Two people can fight over who is responsible for something that went wrong and refuse to take the blame instead of admitting to the mistake. You're not to apologize for who you are or what you achieve, instead you should apologize when you disrespect someone else. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. When someone is mistreating you, in any way, and you’re letting them get away with it, that’s a sign of weakness. How you respond to these types of situations will say a lot about what kind of person you are. Are you a coward? It takes a great deal of bravery to speak up when someone mistreats you. You’re speaking for yourself instead of allowing someone else to speak for you. If you’re not willing to stand up for yourself, how can you expect other people to respect you? Being mistreated is mentally damaging; it makes you feel like less of a person. It’s highly important to stand up for yourself, otherwise you will continue to be taken advantage of and it will lower your self-esteem. You have to realize that just because someone is your relative or friend doesn’t mean they have the right to treat you poorly. Treat them with the same respect as they treat you. If they treat you like trash, treat them like trash. They won’t like it, but they will respect it. You can stop tolerating it by speaking up when you’re being mistreated. I know it’s scary but trust me, you are powerful and you are not alone. The most effective way to make an impact is by standing up for yourself in a calm, tactful manner. You have every right to stand up for yourself. If you’re being taken advantage of or mistreated, you have to stop enduring it silently. Stand up for yourself. Standing up for yourself doesn’t mean lashing out in response, that will only make things worse. Instead, be tactful and polite when you do it. Standing up for yourself can be scary, but that’s precisely why other people will respect you for doing it. When you speak up, make sure you literally speak up, do not mumble. You have every right to stand up for yourself. If you are not getting proper respect at work, you need to speak up. Do not let people walk all over you, otherwise you’ll only attract the wrong kind of attention. If they know that they can walk all over others, they may think nothing of walking all over you in particular. If the person whose behavior is creating the problem isn’t willing to accept responsibility for their actions then don’t make excuses for them or let them cut corners. Thanks for reading through.

If you want to be respected, learn to apologize for your mistakes when necessary Good day! Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Revenge is a wrong thing to embark on. Revenge brings nothing but negativity, and it'll require to generate much negative energy to puul it off. Instead of that, you should just focus your energy on healing from whatever pain made you to want to revenge. Sometimes, we're concerned about revenge because we've been clouded by the hurt or pain we experienced. And the more we put our energy to revenge, the more we get emotionally broken because of how much time we've subjected our minds to revenge. The best to do is to forgive and move forward even though it's not as easy as said. Bit we don't get to think of this because our minds are already filled up with negativity and we don't even have time to think about another way to resolve the issue other than nursing the wounds caused by the pain or hurt. It's important to always forgive and forget so that we'll become better humans because if we don't forgive, we'll be holding ourselves back instead of moving forward. Most of us have been hurt at some point in life but it'll be bad of we allow it consume us by making sure we revenge because if not we'll be letting them win, which is a wrong mindset. The main reason you'd want to hurt the other person is because you have not healed. And the funny thing is that the person that wronged you might not even know they did something wrong, but in your mind, you'll be thinking it's intentional and revenge will be justified. When you're planning on revenge, you'll be aggravating the problem and playing into the hand of the person or people that hurt you. You can move forward without having to revenge. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. Respect is something we all want. Everyone wants to be respected. We expect it in our personal lives and in our professional lives. We want to earn respect by showing that we're worthy and by showing that we're responsible, by how hard we work and what we produce. So, if you want to be respected, learn to apologize for your mistakes when necessary. We all make mistakes. That is a fact of life. What we do with those mistakes determines whether or not we deserve the respect and appreciation of others. The only way to learn to make better and fewer mistakes is to learn from them. You can learn from both small and large mistakes. There is no shame in making a mistake but there is shame in refusing to acknowledge a mistake after being told about it or if it is so big that it dominates the conversation. Learning to apologize for your mistakes can be a difficult thing to do. After all, it is human nature to resist apologizing for what we feel we did not do wrong. The funny thing about apologies, however, is that they are not just about being contrite for what you did wrong – although that may be necessary. Instead, an apology is a way of showing respect and contrition to everyone you work with or meet. You can earn respect by learning to apologize for what you get wrong but not for who you are or what you accomplish. Apologize for disrespecting someone else but not for setting performance standards. If you want to be respected, learn to apologize for your mistakes when necessary, and by this I mean actually apologize. We all make mistakes, we're all human. There's nothing wrong with that. The destructive thing is when we can't admit when we are out of line or when we break the rules. Have you ever been on a team where someone made a mistake and they got defensive instead of saying that they were sorry? People will literally fight over who is responsible for something going wrong and then they both refuse to take the blame and neither is willing to admit that they made a mistake. It's infuriating I've learned that to earn respect, you don't apologize for who you are or what you accomplish. You apologize for disrespecting someone else. You apologize for setting performance standards and then not following through with them. It's easy to apologize for a failure to be respectful but you must never apologize for your values or for your expectations. In fact, it would be better to apologize for a lack of follow-through rather than give in and lower your standards. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
You don't have to revenge Let's quickly review yesterday's article before moving to today's article. Being different from others is a good thing, but no one will like to live in a world where he'll not be treated the same way others are treated. Everyone needs to learn to treat everyone with equal respect and dignity. Treating everyone equally requires that we treat everyone the same way, irrespective of their race, sex, social status or religion. When everybody is treated equally then they will be able to work together, feel safe and cared for which in turn will promote peace in the society. Therefore, no matter what situation a person may be, they should be treated with respect and dignity by every other person in the society. It is the responsibility of everyone to imbibe the culture of treating others equally and with respect required. The respect and dignity we have for them will be shown in our actions and reactions to them. We should confirm our words with our actions by being practically respectful to people. A way to show that you treat people equally as an individual is by showing respect to th. You should treat them with decency whenever you meet them and interact with them whether it be at work or at school. Our differences makes us unique but it is only when we come together and treat each other equally that will make all of us better. There are people that have been discriminated against but have done amazingly well to achieve things regardless of the Another proof of treating people equally is by giving everyone an equal chance to succeed at a thing. There are people that have been denied the opportunity to learn and practice a skill that they love because of their color, sex or religious belief system. As a result many talented individuals have been made to seek employment outside of their field of passion so that they can earn a living. We all have the right to earn a living by following our passions. We all should be treated equally with respect and dignity. Special thanks to my sponsors, subscribers and also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you. Revenge is bad. It takes too much negative energy to invest on something that brings negativity. Rather focus your energy on healing from the pain or whatever caused you to want to revenge. We sometimes get caught up in more hurt, pain and strife by responding negatively to negative things. the cycle doesn't end because the more we put on our energy on such, the more we get emotionally depleted. Because our minds and time is spent on revenge. I think it is best to forgive, forget and move forward. Our minds are just so cluttered with all of this negativity, we just don't have time to think about anything else other than nursing the wounds that are left after feelings of revenge are set in motion. I believe it is important to forgive and forget in order to allow ourselves to be better humans because if we don't forgive, we feel we're just a prisoner to these thoughts and actions wrought as a result of the actions of others that wronged us. Most fears come from anger and inappropriate responses because of them. We all have been hurt at some point in time. Some of us have been hurt in the form of revenge. Now look, I'm not saying to let stuff slide, but don't let it consume you by telling yourself it must be done because if you do, you're letting them win. The main reason is wanting to hurt the other person because you are hurting inside yourself. The person that wronged you could be thinking they did nothing wrong and that you have a bad attitude or whatever, but in your mind, revenge is justified. You don't have to revenge, focus your energy on healing from the pain or whatever caused you to want to revenge. You are actually fueling the problem and playing right into the hand of the person or people who have hurt you. Why would you reward a person for causing pain when instead of revenge, you can heal? You can charge forward without responding negatively to negative things. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
We should treat everyone equally Good day guys, how are you doing today? I hope you're doing very great. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. The problems and chaos in the society can only be cured by having genuine love for everyone. Loving your neighbor as yourself will not just help you as an individual, it'll actually have a positive effect on the whole world. If we want to live in a society that is balanced and peacefy, then majority if not all the members of the society has to be caring and compassionate. Everyone has to care about each other and wish everyone the best. Compassion will be a common characteristic among everyone. The impact of compassion is always very evident. Anyone that has compassion on others will not be comfortable to watch while another person suffers a need. Loving your neighbor as yourself will make you to help others to the full extent of your ability can take you to. When we love our neighbor, we won't ignore them when they need us most. We will always be there for them and help them in any way we can as long as it's within our capacity. If your neighbor needs food and you have the capacity to feed them, you feed them. If a realize that your neighbor is down and needs to be cheered up, then you cheer them up. And if your neighbor person needs a ride to get to a place in line with your movement, you'll do well to give them a ride to where they're going. Those kind of selfless and sacrificial love is hard to come by these days and that is why we all need to intentionally learn to practice loving everyone. We'll be lying of we refuse to admit that on some days, loving others is actually hard. Sometimes we may be too busy to even notice the hungry child next to us. We might even be too carried away by our problems to even realize a friend is hurting and needs to be cheered up and encouraged. You'll only treat the stranger the way you treat your immediate neighbor. Loving our neighbors as ourselves is a commandment everyone should learn. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. It is great that we are all different, but we would not want to live in a world where we were not equal. We should treat everyone equally with respect and dignity. What does it mean, treat people equally? Treat everyone equally means that you treat everyone the same regardless of their race, sex, social status or religion. In a community, if everyone is treated equally then everyone should be able to work together, feel safe and cared for. So, no matter what someone’s individual circumstance is they should be treated with respect and dignity. It is up to each and every one of us to treat others equally and with respect. What are some examples of how we can show this? We can show this in our actions and reactions to people of different races. We can react the same and interact the same with people regardless of their race. How do we show it? You can show your equality as an individual with others by showing respect to all races. You can treat them with common decency when you meet them and interact with them on a daily basis whether it is at work or school or in a community setting. At the end of the day it is our differences that make us unique but it is when we come together as a community and are treated equally that makes us all better. Groups of people that have been discriminated against or treated like second-class citizens for many years have done amazing things to change their circumstances, we should acknowledge that and be inspired by them. The first step we can take toward equality is to treat everyone with respect. The next is to give everyone an equal chance at succeeding, which is where social mobility comes in. You & I should treat everyone equally with respect and dignity. Treating people equally means that you treat everyone the same regardless of their race, sex, social status or religion. In a community, if everyone is treated equally then everyone should be able to work together, feel safe and cared for. So, no matter what someone’s individual circumstance is they should be treated with respect and dignity. We are all different, every single one of us, and that is great. Today we have doctors specializing in every area of medicine; lawyers who specialize in every type of law; farmers who raise every type of food; even kids who are doing incredible things in whatever field they choose. Many people have been given opportunities to learn and practice a skill that they love. Many more people are denied opportunities based on color, sex or affiliation with a religious belief system. As a result many talented individuals must seek employment outside of their field of passion in order to earn a living. We all have the right to earn a living in our passions. We all have the right to live life as we see fit. We all have the right to be treated equally with respect and dignity. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Loving others is the way forward Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great. Happy Sunday to you. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Just like anger, majority of people have pride. Pride stems from self-centeredness, and it does so much harm. Pride will make you become self-conscious. When we begin to think too highly of ourselves, we start trying to protect our self-assigned status instead of working to become better than we are. You may be feeling proud when everything is going your way, that is when you look at other people and compare yourself with them and you see that you feel satisfied. The root of pride comes from the concern we have of ourselves. Pride has a competitive nature. When someone is proud, he'll not be pleased with having something, he'll only be pleased when he has it more of it than other people. It is that comparison that makes him become proud, having it more than others, satisfies him more than having it in the same proportion with others. This pride is one of the root of the problems faced in the society. Each person’s pride is in competition with another person’s pride. Religion has tried to play a part in fighting pride by teaching people to be humble and self-centered. It teaches that you put others first and learn to not be selfish. These principles are very valid, and if you take time to practice it, they will help in curbing the problem. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. Loving others is the way to cure the society of problems and chaos. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about how we get from here to there. From where we are to where our world is supposed to be. And I’ve discovered that loving your neighbor as yourself isn’t just a cure for the individual, it’s the cure for the whole world. Loving others is the way to cure the society of problems and chaos. If we want to live in a functioning society, it has to be a caring, compassionate society. People have to care about each other and want what’s best for each other. They have to feel compassion towards others. Compassion does something. A heart that’s moved by compassion cannot watch by while someone suffers a need. Loving your neighbor as yourself is being moved to help to the full extent of your ability. When we love our neighbor we do just that. We don’t ignore them when they need us. We are there for them and help them in any way we can. If a person needs food, you feed them. If a person needs to be cheered up, you cheer them up. If a person needs a ride to get to work or school, you give them a ride. That kind of selfless, sacrificial love is hard to come by these days and that is exactly why it’s not hard at all for God to move our hearts when we love one another. And the truth is, on many days, loving others is hard. We’re too busy to feel the sting of a hungry child’s hunger. We catch ourselves fretting over a new dress, not realizing someone else can’t afford a meal. We are too focused on our problems to realize a friend is hurting and needs to be lifted up. It’s no coincidence that the New Testament tells us to love our neighbors as ourselves. There’s a strong correlation between how society treats its neighbors and how society treats its own members. Loving our neighbors as ourselves is a commandment for a reason. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Pride will not do you any good Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing very well. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. You don’t have to follow the multitude and do what they're doing. You should be to consider your choices and choose what you feel is right for you without feeling bad. Some people only do things because there are other people doing it. They just accept that it is the way things should be done. And when it looks like they don't fit in, they feel unfulfilled. Which is absolutely false, you're actually fulfilling a lot more when you don’t go about looking to copy others in order to feel accepted and fulfilled. Om achieving success, when you go on your own path, it’ll be easier for you to get back up after mistakes or failure, because people will try to make you fail and remain there, because you chose to follow your own path instead of theirs. If you aren’t sheepishly following after others just to feel among, then it’s sure that you're working outside your comfort zone, and this will make them wish that you fail so that you'll later settle with their option. You can follow your own path and and even achieve more than what people had achieved in the times past and even beyond what people had told you that you could achieve. If you will walk on your own path and attempt to challenge to overcome the world, there'll be obstacles that you will meet obstacles on your journey. Therefore, you should not compare yourself to others, and compare your journey to others. So many people have become followers without them knowing. They became followers by following the crowd, instead of walking on their unique path. If you are really passionate about something, then do it. You don’t have to follow another person's passion and risk yourself to be like everyone else. You don’t need anybody to define who you are to you. The only person to define who you are is yourself. Find your passion and pursue it. If someone tries to give you a it would be logical or safer way that's to follow the crowd, swiftly decline. There is no shortcut to success, you'll have to put in the work. Go ahead, follow your path, success ahead. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. As with anger, we all have pride. Pride is based on self-centeredness, and it’s destructive. Pride makes us self-conscious. When we think so highly of ourselves, we tend to protect our self-assigned status rather than strive for something better. When everything is going your way, you may not feel pride. It’s only when you look at others and compare yourself with them that you get that feeling of satisfaction that comes from comparison. What we’re getting to, then, is that pride is based on self-centeredness, and it’s destructive. We tend to think of pride as being concerned with what others think of us. (We notice when someone else is proud, but we seldom register our own pride.) And in a sense this is true. But the real root of pride is the concern we have with ourselves. Pride is essentially competitive. Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. It is the comparison that makes you proud, the pleasure of being above the rest. You can see that what I’ve described here isn’t just a minor defect in man’s character. It’s at the root of all society’s ills. Religion has always tried to fight pride by teaching humility and self-sacrifice: Put others first. Don’t be selfish. These principles may be valid, but they don’t touch the main problem. Humility and self-sacrifice will not cure the basic disease--the tendency to measure everything in terms of “more” or “less” rather than in terms of its own unique value. Pride is based on self-centeredness, and it’s destructive. Pride makes us self-conscious. When we think so highly of ourselves, we tend to protect our self-assigned status rather than strive for something better. We focus on what we don’t have, never taking the time to be thankful for all that we do have. Pride will not do you any good, pride is based on self-centeredness, and it’s destructive. The point is that each person’s pride is in competition with everyone else’s pride. Pride is essentially competitive. Pride gets no pleasure out of having something, only out of having more of it than the next man. It is the comparison that makes you proud, the pleasure of being above the rest.

You don't have to follow the crowd Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great. I also hope you had a great week. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Emotions are two-sided, it can be either good or bad, and there are times that you have it take control even if it is for a little time. It depends on what you’re acting on your emotions for, and the outcome of that action. Acting on your emotions can be very bad especially when it concerns something that is really important, or something that has very significant consequences. For example, spending of money, you will want to make sure what you spend your money in the right way after careful deliberation instead of just acting by your emotions otherwise, it might be counted as waste. Most of the times, acting on your emotions always leads to the negative side. One example we can relate with is acting on the emotion anger. Anger is a very common emotion among humans especially the immature ones. Therefore,we can say that we've seen cases where people act on it. Acting on anger does not only mean that you yell at someone or fight them. It can also come in the form of bringing up an issue that had occured before that got you angry, and using it against the person or another person. So many reasons can cause you to act on your emotions. It can be because of the accumulation of emotion like anger or sadness that you feel inside over a long period of time, that you want to release out. Your emotions can also be positive too, it can make you feel motivated and inspired. In times when your your emotions are positive, they'll help to keep you happy and motivated. The world we live in today is a way where sometimes you have to make quick decisions, it'll become very necessary to only make decisions that are deliberate instead of acting based on your emotions because those decisions might lead to more serious problems if not deliberately taken. People are all too often controlled by their emotions, that is why it's important to learn to control yourself. The more important the decision, the more important the decision making process should taken.

When you're not like everybody else. When you don’t think like everybody else and don’t do things like everybody else, it will always be met with a similar reaction, “Oh no, he’s different.” People don’t see the need to try something that is unfamiliar to them, even if it really works. Society has pushed the idea that you should do the same things as other people and have the same dreams, hopes and aspirations and follow the same path that most people do. Even if it doesn’t work for you. But what if it doesn’t work for you? What if you are meant to be different? What if you can be better than everyone else at what you do? You don’t have to follow the crowd, or do what everyone else is doing. You can reconsider your choices and choose what’s right for you without suffering any judgment. Most people do what they do because they see others doing it. They accept that this is the way things are done. They believe that when they don’t fit in, they aren’t being themselves. But this isn’t true, you love yourself more when you don’t look for yourself in others and try to seek acceptance. When you follow your own path it’s easier to get back on if you get knocked off, because people will try to knock you off, even if you are working on your own terms. If you aren’t in harmony with others, then it’s likely that you are working outside of their consensus and their comfort zone, both of which will make people want to knock you down until you settle in line with them. They say the path is the goal, but you don’t have to follow the crowd. You can walk your own path and achieve even more than what people who did what their told told you they’ve achieved. If you are going to take on the world and its challenges you will meet obstacles, some small and some large. You’re not alone in the world. So instead of comparing yourself to others, understand that everybody has their own journey. Nobody wants to be a follower, but most people are. You don’t have to follow the crowd, you can follow your own path. If you are passionate about something, do it. Don’t do what everyone else is doing and risk being like everyone else. You don’t need anybody to tell you who you are. Because the only person you can judge is yourself. When you follow your own path it’s easier to get back on if you get knocked off, because people will try to knock you off, even if you are working on your own terms. I am not going to tell you what your passion is, but I will say that it is there somewhere. Find it and pursue it. If someone tries to tell you that you shouldn’t because it would be “more logical” or “safer,” take a step back and realize that this logic is not true for everyone. There are no shortcuts or canned formulas for success. Go ahead, march to your own tune. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Don't let your emotions control you Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing very well. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. For your to make a good decision, you'll need to have access to the right information, and information can be accessed from advice but you need to understand that not everyone will give you a sound advice, that is it is best for you to consider any advice given before making use of it because you'll be the one to face the outcome of that decision. Hence, you must own your decisions. It doesn't matter who gives you an advice, either it be from your family, friends or even from people you don't know, you must make sure that you carefully analyze it because at the end, you'll be the only one to face the results. No human is perfect, therefore it's wrong for you to think that a particular person cannot give the advice, that is why you must consider the advice before taking any decision on. There will be people that'll intentionally give you wrong advice. The best way to avoid a situation like that is by scrutinizing and analyzing every advice because you can never blame other people. It's not compulsory to agree with people on matters. When you are to provide advice to others, just do your best to provide a good one but do not force anybody because only they can decide if they'll use it, so that you won't blame yourself if it doesn't work out as expected. Anyone that decides to use advice provided to you by others should be ready to face the consequences. Whether they regret taking action on the advice or not, it is nobody's business, it was their responsibility to think about what could have happened if they take or do not take any action with the advice. Make sure you own your decisions so that if anything bad happens because of advice provided to you, you'll not put the blame on others. Because at the end of the day, not every advice will be good, some will be good while some bad, it's left for you to choose which of them to use.

Emotions can be good or bad, and sometimes you have to let them take control for a little bit. It depends on what you’re acting on your emotions for, and the outcome of that action. Acting on your emotions can be really bad if it means something that is really important, or something that has a lot of consequences. You will want to make sure what you spend your money on deserves the effort, otherwise it will be wasted. Acting on your emotions usually leads to negative things. An example is “acting on the emotion anger.” Anger is a pretty common emotion, especially for teens and people who are immature. Therefore acting on it is not uncommon. Acting on anger doesn’t always mean yelling at someone, or fighting them. It can mean bringing up something that happened before when you were angry, and getting into an argument with someone. The reasons for acting on your emotions can be varied. It can be a momentary burst of anger, or a sadness that you feel inside that you want to get rid of. The emotions you feel can also be positive, like being motivated and inspired. In fact, it’s best to let your emotions speak to you when they are positive because that’s what gets you going and keeps you motivated. It's easy to let your emotions control you in today's fast-paced world. We all have to make quick decisions, often based on personal feelings and internal desires. In most cases, these decisions aren't that serious but can create unhealthy habits. Over time, these tend to lead to more serious problems. People are all too often swayed by their emotions, and few things demonstrate this more than important financial decisions. The more nerve racking, the more our heart jumps in with a demand. It’s the origin of many bad decisions. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Own your decisions Good day guys. How are you doing today, I trust that you having a great day. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. When a problem goes unsolved for a long time, you will start to think that the problem might remain unsolved. In this case, if you want the problem solved, you'll need to adopt a different mentality in order to be able to get a good perspective that is efficient to solve the problems. That kind of mindset is characterized by these; - Because you find yourself stuck in a situation that has lingered more than expected, and you begin to think that the situation will remain the same. -You do not realize that the situation you're in has made you stronger, wiser and better. -You become so concerned about what others will say instead of looking for a way to change your circumstances. -You always think and believe that change is not possible to achieve. You prefer to remain where you're instead of trying something new. Positive thinking will be required but that's not the main deal, the main deal is about changing your mindset. No matter how hard it seems that you put in the work, if you feel fear and impossibility inside yourself, you'll never change things because your mindset is in direct opposite to your effort. Change might be hard and sometimes, the circumstances we face are beyond our control, nevertheless change is inevitable for those that want a turnaround. It's impossible to solve problems using the same mindset that created them and sustained their existence. You cannot do without changing your mindset because every day we are face with problems that need solutions. Therefore if there's a problem, yours should change your mindset in order for you to find the solutions that will help you solve this problem. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. You need the right information to make your decision, but you have to know that not everyone will give you great advice, that is why it is highly important for you to consider any advice given before doing anything since you'll be held responsible for the outcome. You need to make sure that you own your decisions. When you are given an advice either from your family, friends or even from people you don't know, you should consider making an effort to analyze it very carefully because at the end this is what will count. There will be people who would advise you to do things that are not good for you, there will also be people who'll advise you to do things that are not right at all, it is therefore essential that before you make any decision,you consider any advice given to you because at the end you'll be held responsible for whatever decision you have made. The best way to avoid being accused of something you didn't do is by not doing it at all. You should never blame other people and you should never say that someone forced you to do anything. Life isn't always about agreeing with people; most times it's about finding a way to get your point across. You can provide advice to others, but only they can decide how to use it, so don't blame yourself if it doesn't work out When you opt to use advice provided to you by anyone, you have to be ready to face the consequences, whether you liked them or not. Whether you regret taking action on the advice or not, it is your responsibility to think about what could have happened if you didn't take any action at all. Make sure you own your decisions, not someone else's. If something bad happened to you because of advice provided to you, make sure it was worth it. Because at the end of the day, not everyone has good intentions when giving others advice. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
If you need a positive change, you need to change your mindset first Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing very great. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Looking at the past can make you feel insecure and afraid to move forward. There are so many people stuck to their past, they are stuck because they find it difficult to forget the past or maybe forgive themselves or someone else for whatever had happened before. A prequisite to moving ahead in life is for you to look forward. Looking back is easy because you'll always have things to seepp and remember, but you must look forward. Therefore, a step to take in order to move on from your past, is for you to change your focus. Focus on the future but do not worry about your future. It remains essential for you to focus on your future in order to succeed and progress. One thing to do to move ahead in life is for you to be able to think ahead. There are lots of great opportunities ahead of you, but if you continue to think on the past, you will definitely miss the opportunities. Dwelling on the past makes you lose sight of the future. This can make you loose out on opportunities in life without even enjoying the present. Looking back will always slow you down and make it hard for you to move forward and do great things. We must have the courage to forget the past and focus completely on life ahead. The best thing you can do for yourself is to focus on what is ahead instead of what is behind. Also, you must be sure that you are thinking about the future in an effective way. If you think about your future in a general sense, it will not help you at all when the time for action comes. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. When you live with an unsolved problem for a long time, you start thinking, this will never change. So, your circumstances change, you'll need to change your mind to see new possibilities. These are some kind of thoughts that kind of mindset has; -You're stuck in a situation that has become unbearable, and you keep thinking the situation will remain the same. -You refuse to acknowledge that the things that have happened to you have made you stronger, wiser and more determined. -You become so caught up in feeling sorry for yourself and worried about other people's opinions, you lose perspective on how to turn things around. -You believe change is impossible. The unknown or unfamiliar is scary and seems risky, so staying put is easier than trying something new. If you need a positive change, you need to change your mindset first. I know that sounds like a cliché, but it's true. I'm not talking about positive thinking, I'm talking about changing your mind. Let's say you've been thinking in the same way for a long time. Now, you find yourself in a difficult situation. You're not doing well in your career or maybe you got into debt. Whatever it is, your situation doesn't look good and it seems like there's nothing you can do about it. As determined as you are, inside you feel paralyzed by fear and frustration because you know that no matter how much you try, you'll never change things because your perspective is stuck. Change is hard and sometimes our circumstances are beyond our control. The way I see it, change is inevitable. When you have a problem, your current situation is already a change. Change isn't just about improving yourself. It's about changing the way you view life. That's why I always say, if you want to make a big change in your life, you need to change your mindset first. You can't solve problems using the same mindset that created them in the first place. Change is hard, but it's not impossible. Every day we have to solve new problems. If you have an unsolved problem in your life right now, you shouldn't be depressed. Instead, you should be strong enough to change your mindset to find the solutions that will help you solve this problem. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Forget your past, focus on your future Good morning guys, how are you doing today? I hope you're doing very great. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. Whenever you notice that things have gone wrong in a family or an institution, it is a clear indication that someone has broken the rules and disobeyed the constituted authority? The purpose of the article was to encourage you to obey constituted authority at all times. Obedience to constituted authority is very important in any institution, because it's forms the basis for orderliness and peaceful co-existence among every one in the institution. When you disobey constituted authority, it will only lead to absence of peace in an environment. For you to exercise authority in any wise, you must have obeyed fully the ones in place before. Only the one that has obeyed can exercise authority. You not obeying authority shows that you do not thet really understand what it means to be a follower. If we're asked to trace the root of the problems in the society, some of them will be traced to disobedience to constituted authority. It is disobedience that has resulted in the downfall and retardation of industry, destruction of families and lawlessness in the country at large. Therefore, until you learn to submit to authorities, you can never be qualified to exercise it, so everyone should endeavor to submit to authority regardless of who you're, whether you're a worker, a teacher, student, child or just a citizen. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. Looking at the past is a bad habit because it can make you feel insecure and afraid to move forward, but if you do not learn from your mistakes, you will never be able to move forward. You may not know this, but most people are stuck. They are stuck because they cannot forget the past or forgive themselves or someone else for what happened in the past. To move ahead in life you must look forward. It is easier to look back but in order to move on, you must look forward. In order to move on from your past, you need to change your focus. Focus on the present, do not look back on your past and do not worry about your future, focus on the present moment. It will take great effort to turn away your attention from the past and focus on the present and it is even more difficult to look forward. It can be very difficult to forget the past and move forward, but it is something you have to do in order to succeed and progress even further. You must understand that if you must move ahead in life, you must be able to think ahead. You have a lot of great opportunities ahead of you, but if you dwell on the past, you will miss them. Dwelling on the past or focusing on the future can make you lose sight of your present life. Dwelling on the past or focusing on the future can make you lose sight of your present life. This can make your life quickly pass you by without enjoyment of the present. It can be very difficult to forget the past and move forward, but it is something you have to do. Now, it can be very tempting to look back at your past, but you must avoid that. Looking back can slow you down and weigh you down in a way that makes it harder to move forward and do great things with your life. We never want to be weighed down or slowed down by our past. We want to look ahead toward the future. It is very important that we look to the future and not the past when trying to move forward. We always have to be willing to forget about our past and move forward if we are going to do great things. We have to have the courage to forget about the past and focus completely on the great life ahead of us. The best thing someone could do is focus on what is ahead than what is behind them. You must focus on the life ahead of you if you ever want to reach your goals, because this is what is important for anyone that wants to be successful. Most people know that they have to think about their future, but they still choose not to do it, or they don’t do it effectively. If you want to be successful in life you must be sure that you are thinking about the future in an effective way. You shouldn’t just think about your future in a general sense because being overly general will not help you at all when it comes time for you taking action. Thanks for reading through.

Everyone should learn to obey constituted authority Happy Sunday guys, how are you doing today? I hope you're having a great day. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. The phrase “Age is just a number.” is a phrase that means a lot. It a very great way to encourage anyone who thinks he's past any time given to achieve something worthwhile. Being old in age does not mean that you cannot have the strength and enthusiasm of a young person, also you can be young but have the knowledge, experience and wisdom of someone that is twice your age. Your age doesn’t need to affect your passion or ability to do or be wgst you want to be. Your dreams should drive you to do what you do. It should motivate you to be who you want to be. Dreams give you a purpose, direction and focus in life. Having a dream does not end at just having it. There's a lot attached to it. It'll require you to set priorities, focus on your dream and be ready to make sacrifices to reach your goals. You'll need to do whatever it takes to get to your goals regardless of the obstacles. You'll never know how far you can go until you give your dream your best shot. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. Have you ever noticed when things go wrong in a family or an institution that it is inevitably because someone has not obeyed constituted authority? The purpose of this article is to encourage everyone to learn to obey constituted authority. Obedience to constituted authority cannot be over-emphasized, for it is the basis for orderliness and peaceful co-existence in the society. Disobedience to constituted authority will cause absence of peace in an environment. To exercise authority and to be obeyed go hand in hand. Unless one is prepared to obey, there is no sense in exercising authority. Everyone should learn to obey constituted authority because unless they do so, they will never be qualified to exercise it, because they have no credibility and because they don’t really understand what it means to be a follower. In fact, if I were to identify one single cause of societal problems, it is the absence of obedience to constituted authority. It is the lack of obedience that has resulted in the decay of industry, destruction of marriage and family and general lawlessness in the country. The ability to submit to authority is a test for any person aspiring for a leadership position. For example, if you aspire to be a teacher or a pastor or a policeman or a governor or an army officer etc., you must willingly submit yourself to the required training. If you are not willing to submit yourself to the necessary training, then your leadership is doomed for failure. The same applies in private life. If a worker, a student, a child or anyone else disobeys constituted authority, he/she cannot be expected to know how to lead others. Until you learn to submit to authority, you will never be qualified to exercise it, because you have no credibility and because you don’t really understand what it means to be a follower. Everyone should endeavor to submit to authority ranging from children to workers etc. Obedience to constituted authority cannot be overemphasised, for it ramifies the basis for orderliness and peaceful co-existence in the society. Disobedience to constituted authority brings anarchy and chaotic environment which translate to absence of peace. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
it’s never too late Good morning guys, how are you doing today? I hope you're doing great. Let's quickly review my previous article. Jealousy is having a feeling of anger, hostility and resentment because you believe that another person has something that you do not. If you realize that someone just recieved something you have always wanted to have, if you do not watch your thoughts, you might begin to feel like the world is against you. You might even begin to think that they do not deserve what has been given to them, and that you deserve it more than they do. But, there is really no lucky person in life. Anyone that has had anything in life had to work to have them. Even if the person didn't directly work for it, they may have inherited it from someone that worked for it. Nobody deserves anything just because they look deserving of it. Jealousy is an easy route to envy and this stems out of disappointment and bitterness. Envious people do not want to see anyone successful especially when they fail. They prefer that everyone around them also fails so they won't feel less. One way to keep jealousy away is by gratitude. If you become more grateful for where you are and what you have, you'll have no time to compare with another person not to talk of becoming jealous. Some people might think that complimenting others will make them less significant. However, this is not true. This does not necessarily mean that you become friends with everyone, but you can wish everyone success. It will make you better. Celebrating others is one of the ways to be happy and content. The more you celebrate others, the less likely for you to be jealous. If you notice that you find it hard to compliment others on their achievements, it is a sign of jealousy. Jealousy will steal away your joy and make you constantly feel less of who you are. A remedy to jealousy is to start celebrating other people’s successes and try to compliment people's wins and not focus on their failures. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. I love the phrase “Age is just a number.” It really means nothing, but at the same time, it means everything. You can be old and still have the enthusiasm of a twenty-year-old. You can be young with the knowledge and life experience of someone twice your age. Age doesn’t determine your passion or ability to do or be anything. Dreams are what drive us to do what we do, be who we are, and love who we love. They give you a purpose in life, a reason for being. Having a dream, as you probably know, is about a lot of things. It’s about setting priorities, keeping your eye on the prize and making sacrifices for your goals. It’s about doing whatever it takes to get yourself to the finish line, no matter how long it takes you or how many times you fall. It’s the whole process that you go through in order to achieve what you’re after. It can seem very daunting, but you never know how far you’ll go if you don’t give it your best shot. You can be whatever you want to be in the world. Dreaming and thinking about what you want out of life is really not enough. Many people get caught up in life and forget to pursue their passions, and once they get older, they give up and assume that there’s no chance of fulfilling their dreams. Thanks for reading through.

Jealousy; very wrong Good day guys, how are you feeling today? I trust that you're having a great day. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. The future is as little as the next minute because you don't know what it has for you. It can be the next hour, day, month or years. Therefore, we should endeavor within our power to make sure that we utilize effectively each and every day and try to get the best out of it. To use our day effectively,it starts by knowing and setting our priorities right and also knowing the right actions to take in order to use our time well. The matter of using time effectively is something that you'll need to teach yourself because it's more practical than theoretical, no one will sit you down to teach you how to use our time in the best way. You should know the activities that matter to you most in a day and focus your energy on them. Everybody has the same twenty-four hours in a day to use, how you use it is left for you to decide, whether on productive activities or unproductive ones. You can take time to evaluate how you've been spending your time to see whether you've using your time wisely or not. Oke of the characteristics of a wise man is the ability to make the most use of his time. Time is a precious gift to everyone; it is one of the common privilege that everyone has both rich and poor, small and great. No one knows how long he will spend in this world, but people who know how to organize their time will achieve more things in life than those who just use time carelessly. And one way you can use time effectively is by improving your mental faculties and acquiring knowledge. Acquiring knowledge is one of the most productive ways to use your time because the more you know, the more you will be able to do. Therefore, you can consider making use of your time to gain new knowledge. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. What is jealousy? Jealousy is a feeling of anger, hostility and resentment caused by the belief that someone else has something that you do not. If someone receives something you have always wanted, it can feel like the world has turned against you. The recipient seems lucky and you may even feel like they do not deserve what has been given to them. However, there are no lucky people in life. Everyone has had to work for everything they have achieved. Even if someone has not worked for it, they may have inherited it from their parents. Nobody deserves anything just because they are good looking or charming. Jealousy is closely linked to envy and comes from an attitude of disappointment and bitterness. Envious people do not want to see anyone else enjoy success. They would rather see those around them fail so they can revel in the failure by comparison. The opposite of jealousy is gratitude and we should all strive to be more grateful for what we have. We need to look around and realize how lucky we are to have a roof over our heads, food on the table and people around us who love us unconditionally. People are often averse to complimenting others because they think it makes them less significant. However, that is not the case. You should not be jealous of others, instead celebrate them. You do not have to be friends with everyone, but you can wish them success. It will make them feel good and build goodwill. Creating a culture of celebrating others is one of the keys to being happy and content. It has been proven to improve productivity and worldviews. So much so that the philosopher Aristotle suggested that praising others makes us more attractive as well. If you find it hard to compliment others on their achievements, that is a sign of jealousy. The most miserable people in life are filled with jealousy. It eats away at them and steals their joy. They always think of the things somebody else has that they want, which in turn leads to resentment and strife. A remedy is to start celebrating other people’s successes with them and make a point of complimenting them. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Making good use of your time Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're having a great day and week. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. You can only see the world only as good as your eyes can and you let your eyes see. You'll assume there's nothing wrong with your vision if your view about success is small. You might not even think success is achievable because how little you think. Wrong or poor vision leads to an imbalanced perspective and a limited view of achievable success. If you do not have the right vision, you'll never imagine that a great future is achievable. Some people's vision is limited because of their environment or the circumstances around them. You don't have to be perfect neither do you need a perfect environment to imagine great things for yourself. Have a great vision of your future and work towards it regardless of the challenges that come your way. Of you still find it difficult to have a great vision because of your environment, you can change your environment and surround yourself with people that will help and encourage you to achieve your dreams. There might be times in your life that you wanted to do something great but you felt that you don't have the brains, skills or resources to do it. Or you have ever given up on a thing because of the problems you were facing then. Successful people take time to imagine great things before they actually do them. When you expand your vision, you will be able to see a greater extent to which you can go in achieving great things. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. It is often said that the best thing about the future is that it comes one day at a time. With that, we should always make full use of each and every day and try to maximize its potential. We should know our priorities and what actions we need to do, but we also need to know how to use our time well. We are not told how to use our time in the best way possible, we just know what activities to do during our time. We have noticed the most productive way to use your time is on relevant activities. Everyone has the same twenty-four hours in a day. We must learn to make the most use of our time. We can decide on our time expenditure and the activities we engage in. For example, we could decide if we have time to watch television or if we have time to exercise and participate in outdoor games. We must evaluate how we spend our time wisely. The wise man will make the most use of his time. Time is a precious gift to us all; it is a common privilege that no one has an oversupply of it. One may never know how long he will enjoy each moment in this world. Everyone has the privilege of having twenty-four hours in a day. However, we use that time differently and that time is reflected in our lives by the things we do. People who know how to organize their time will be able to achieve more things in life than those who don't. One should not be surprised to discover that one of the best uses of time has to do with improving one's mental faculties and acquiring knowledge. Acquiring knowledge is one of the most productive uses of our time. The more you know, the more you will be able to do. It is essential for us to make use of our time for the purpose of gaining new knowledge. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Enlarge your vision Good day guys, how are you doing today? I trust that you're doing great. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. When preparation meets opportunity, people term the outcome as luck. I'm whatever field you find yourself in this life, preparation and opportunities are indispensable. It's only beneficial when opportunity comes to the prepared. Also it’s not enough for you to be prepared, you must ensure to always stay prepared. You'll begin to see today differently when you understand that success of the future depends on today’s preparation. Success is not a gift but it's a product of hard work and deliberate efforts to improve and stay prepared at all times. Every challenge should be seen as an opportunity to grow and learn. No matter how hard a circumstance in your life maybe, it can be a useful way to improve your life and the lives of people around you. If luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation, that means that the more prepared you are, the luckier you will be. People that feel like they're unlucky chose not to prepare. They refuse to attribute their choices with their outcomes. They are always in a cycle of being unlucky everytime due to unpreparedness. If you want to succeed in life, you must learn to prepare. I know it might sound simple. In this current world, knowledge literally doubles every five year and if you don’t keep up with the pace, you’ll be left behind. That’s why preparation is so important. If you wish to be successful, you must know what’s coming and start preparing for it as early as possible. Special thanks to my sponsors both old and the ones planning to, subscribers both old and those that will subscribe now, also thanks to those who thumbs up and comment on my post, I really appreciate all of you, I do not take it for granted. Thanks to @Talecharm for the huge sponsorship. It's highly appreciated. Imagine for a moment, you wake up and head out of the house. As you look around, everything appears blurry and out of focus. You can only see well if you're looking at something very close to your eyes and only the objects that are near you can be seen clearly. If you don't know this is caused by uncorrected vision, you'll assume that it's the way your eyes are and that it's totally normal. You will see the world around you only as good as your eyes let you see. You'll assume there's nothing wrong with your vision and that's the way life is. You'll not be able to appreciate the amazing things that are out there in the world because you can't see them clearly. You might not even think they exist because they're out of focus. These things are all possible because without the right vision, you'll not appreciate what's around you or know what great things are attainable. Uncorrected vision leads to skewed perspective, wasted effort and a limited future. Without the right vision, you'll not see that a great future is possible to achieve. Some people limited their vision because of their environment or where they are. You don't have to be perfect to imagine great things for yourself. Envision a great future for yourself and work towards it regardless of the odds. You can adjust your vision by changing your environment and surround yourself with positive people who will help you achieve your dreams. Everyone should aspire to be successful. If you should imagine what it would feel like if you could never achieve their goals. You might envision behaving out of character, feeling like a failure or less than they imagined themselves to be. But then you should now go beyond that and imagine how their life would be different if you were successful at achieving their goals. That is correcting your vision. Have you ever wanted to do something great in life but felt you don't have the brains, skills or resources to do it? Have you ever wanted to be successful but gave up because of the obstacles you were facing? Successful people imagine themselves doing great things before they actually do them. By expanding your vision, you can see a bigger picture of what's possible for yourself. It's surprising how people limit their vision. It's discouraging to watch them ignore the possibilities beyond their immediate reach. Their limited vision keeps them from seeing what is possible for them. They can't see beyond their past, present or future. They believe that there is no hope for any change in their future. If a person wasn't born with corrective vision, they might think that they are doomed to live a life of limited possibilities in an unforgiving world. The truth is, you don't need perfect vision to imagine greatness for yourself. Thanks for reading through. I hope loved it. All images are from Unsplash.
Lucky or not Good day guys, how are you doing today? I hope you're having a great Monday. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. One thing that hinders progress in life is strife. Strife drifts our focus away from things that really matter and we become concerned about irrelevant things. If you'll be honest, you'll admit that to engage in conflict with other people requires energy and time. The question is now, why do people continuously engage in conflict?The problem is that there are people that are comfortable with strife instead of striving to make peace with others. That's to say that they have gotten used to being disagreeable instead of disagreeing. You can disagree without being disagreeable. We must always know and remember that a disagreement is a disagreement, and it should remain that not that it graduates into a conflict. When you disagree, it does not mean that you hate the person or that you wish them bad. Disagreement does not mean and need you to dislike the person that holds an opposing opinion. It just means two people holding two different perspective to a matter. You don't need too much to be peaceful. All you need to do is follow two simple rules: First, you have to respect other people, their opinions, and their views on a matter. Secondly, if you discover that there's a common ground for both of you to agree. You should agree instead of being unnecessarily disagreeing. If you respect the other person and you take time to see beyond your own view, there's likelihood for you to find common ground with them. This is a very effective way that violence and strife can be avoided. If you study peaceful people, you'll find out that they're are not necessarily stubborn, they are just confident about their position and views and they're willing to compromise in order to reach a solution that will cause peace for all. I believe that if we can all learn to practice this, the world will move forward.

Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity. Whether you’re called to business, art, education, politics or any profession, this principle is immutable. Opportunity comes to the prepared. That means every it’s not enough to simply get prepared, you must stay prepared. Knowledge in most fields doubles about every five years, and you must keep growing, so that you match the world. When you believe that tomorrow’s success depends on today’s preparation, you see today differently. You understand that success is not a gift but a reflection of hard work and investment in yourself. You understand that every challenge you face can be an opportunity for growth and learning. Every circumstance in your life, however difficult or challenging, can become a useful tool for improving your life and the lives of people around you. Luck is what happens when opportunity meets preparation, and the more prepared you are, the luckier you become. Underperformers choose not to prepare. They don’t see their flaws as the symptoms of a character flaw, but as part of their identity. They fail to see that if they were better people, they would be more successful people. They don’t connect their choices with their outcomes. They are in a perpetual cycle of rewarding mediocrity and punishing greatness. If you want to succeed, learn how to prepare. - It might sound simple, but that’s because it is. We live in an era when knowledge is literally doubling every five years. If you don’t keep up, you’re going to fall behind. That’s why preparation is so important. If you want to be successful, you have to know what’s coming and start preparing for it early.

Strife hinders our progress, be peaceful Good evening guys, how are you doing today? I hope you had a great day. Let's quickly review yesterday's article. The people that usually spice the truth do it for in order to achieve two things which are the attention and the approval of the people listening. But the thing is that, it backfires. And if you continue to do the same thing overtime, people will discover the probability for you to stretch the truth beyond bounds and then you lose your credibility with them. And once you lose that, it will take a long time to get your credibility back that is if you ever get it. There's nothing wrong in saying something with enthusiasm but try to avoid exaggeration. Make sure you stick with the facts, that is the truth and resist the urge to exaggerate hereby becoming the focus. Exaggerating isn’t going to take you anywhere. Rather, it will make you look stupid and you loose the trust others have in you. Exaggeration is a type of lying. It looks innocent but in real time it's a form of saying and adding more to a truth than has happened. There are two things about lies and they're firstly, all lies will eventually get discovered and you'll lose your integrity in sight of people and secondly, when it's found out, people will most likely want to cut you in order to prevent future lies. The remedy is for you to say what you mean and mean what you say. This is one of the most important things that you need to remember when communicating with people. Say things the way they are.

Thanks to @Tomi-Ajax for the sponsorship renewal. Strife hinders our progress. Strife takes our focus away from things that matter and makes us ineffective. Truthfully, it takes a lot of energy to engage in conflict with other people, so why do we keep doing it? The problem is that we have become comfortable with strife rather than making peace with each other. In other words, we’ve gotten accustomed to being disagreeable instead of disagreeing. The two aren’t the same. In fact, we can disagree without being disagreeable. We must remember that a disagreement is just that, a disagreement. It does not mean that we hate someone or that we wish for them to fail miserably in life. Disagreement does not mean a dislike for the person who holds an opposing view or opinion. It means simply an opposing of point of view. It is not hard to be peaceful. All you have to do is follow two simple rules: First, be respectful of other people, their opinions, and positions Secondly, always strive to agree with the other party (if there is indeed something that you can agree on) If you respect the other party and your own ability to see beyond your limited perspective, you will likely find common ground with them, which is the only way that violence and strife can be eliminated. Peaceful people are usually not stubborn: they are merely confident in their position and are willing to negotiate or compromise in order to reach a solution that is beneficial for all parties involved. If we can learn to practice this kind of peace, I believe that our world will move forward by leaps and bounds; however, peace will not happen overnight but rather become a gradual process as more people start making it a priority.
