Only you can change your life...no one can do it for you

Image
Everyone wants to go to heaven but no one wants to die, the same applies to everyone wanting to change the world but not wanting to change themselves. The real problem comes from being content with where you are and limiting yourself to that level . I just want you to remember one thing .... where you are now is not where you were 5 years ago and its definitely not where you will be in the next 5 years. This just means that change is inevitable , it can either be good or bad depending on what you do to use change to your advantage. The successful people all have habits they adopt and use them to bring about a positive change in their lives. These habits are by no means easy to adopt but they are guaranteed to change your life drastically. Be driven The main reason why a lot of positive ideas never see the light of day is that the majority of the people who get these good ideas don't feel confident about their ideas . They often face a commitment and drive issue where the...

The future belongs to those who prepare for it today

Have you ever felt powerless and clueless about your future, like you have no power whatsoever on what the future holds. It is safe to say that a lot of us have resorted to leaving things to chance and not actively making decisions and creating habits that will shape how our future plays out. I remember reading one of Malcom X's quotes which read " The future belongs to those who prepare for it today " and asking myself what sort of preparation he could have been talking about. The best way to predict the future is to create it so  make an active decision today to start doing everything in your power to prepare yourself  for the greatness that awaits you . I have compiled a list of 6 simple things that you can adopt to help you prepare yourself for the great and amazing things that your future holds. Use affirmations Successful people understand the power of these 2 words " I AM " and how our minds register anything that comes after those 2 words as tr...

The dream is free, the hustle is sold separately

Discovering your gift and purpose of existence should be everyone's prime goal. It is this gift that will pave the way for your success and become your source of livelihood. Safe to say, all that you need to survive on this planet is locked up deep inside you and it is your duty to find and express it in order for you to be successful. Look at the most successful and richest people in the world, they are all following their dreams and it has brought them incredible amounts of wealth . Hollywood however has made these people seem as if they are some kind of overnight success forgetting the long hard process that led to that success. Kevin Hart has been one of the biggest stand up comedians and movie stars of the last 5 years, when he broke onto the scene he quickly adopted the overnight sensation title but no one remembers the 10 plus years he spent working and being rejected to get were he is now. I recently read about the growth cycle of a bamboo tree, it takes approximately 5 ...

Refine your talent to ability

Image
In my view all successful people can attribute their success to a number of things and one of the most prominent would be discipline . It can be defined as  the refining fire by which talent becomes ability. I can not think of a better way to describe the   the bridge between goals and accomplishment  other than developing self-discipline . Laziness and procrastination are always going to be barriers to you reaching your goals but by mastering the art of self-discipline you are guaranteed success in everything you do. This week I have chosen to focus on developing one's self-discipline and helping you to overcome the barriers set by your mind. Take control of your mind The mind can work as your greatest asset or your worst enemy. There is no greater displeasure than driving a car which can go up to 220km/hour in a 60km speed limit zone. We are designed to operate at optimum level but in most cases our minds talk us out of living life at that level. Much like the ...
