You are one decision away from a different life

There are times where we often feel as if whatever it is that we are doing is not enough. These times usually come when we fail to reach a certain goal or attain a certain milestone and we feel powerless. It is human nature to get disappointed in our own shortcomings. In my view it all boil down to one life changing decision which is to take yourself seriously and actually taking time to discover yourself . This one decision brings you closer and closer to your true purpose and narrows down what you ought to do in life. After making the decision to look within yourself to find yourself, there are a few things you can do to help you on your path of self discovery : Trust in your ideas On average, the human mind is capable of coming up with close to half a dozen ideas on how to become a better person mentally physically and financially every single day. Pure human instinct is survival and your mind is hard wired to ensure survival by any means . There are a lot of things you have a

Sweet are the uses of adversity

When things are bad it is human nature to forget that things are going to get good and when things are good it is also human nature to forget that things are most probably going to get bad. I strongly feel that the main cause or one of the main causes of stress and in time depression is not knowing what to do . When things are going really bad I believe not knowing what to do is the main cause of stress. I believe that we have all been through some level of adversity (a very unpleasant situation) and what separates us is how we react and navigate through these adversities. "Sweet are the uses of adversity , which, like the toad, ugly and venomous, wears yet a precious jewel in its head " ~ William Shakespeare. To help deal with adverse situations i have compiled a list that will help you cope better with difficult situations :  Learn to take a hit One of the most useful skills you are taught in any combat sport is how to take a blow .

Unlock your greatness

"You were designed for accomplishment , engineered for success and endowed with the seeds of greatness " ~ Zig Ziglar. I can't express how i felt when i came across this quote, i had always seen greatness as something that is a rare feat amongst special people. The truth of the matter is everyone can be great , everyone can achieve greatness and everyone can live a great life it all depends on your definition of great. Greatness  comes from the desire to do extraordinary things—to reach beyond the status quo and relentlessly chase your dreams. In the 1950's there was a universal belief that man was physically unable to run a mile in under 4 minutes. This belief stemmed from  the fact that no one had done it before, this fact stood until a man called Roger Bannister ran a mile in under 4 minutes. The funny thing is since that time up until now close to 20000 people including high school students have run a mile in under 4 minutes. The distance was still the s

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind

If you want to be an impactful personality you need to change the way you see the world and change how you see yourself . Even though we can not determine how other people will act, we can at least change our own outcome. The lion is the king of the jungle because of one thing "attitude" . It is this attitude that makes every other animal afraid of it. The lion is not the strongest, fastest, smartest or most intelligent yet he runs things. So what makes all these animals fear a cat...it is attitude. The elephant is 3-4 times heavier, 10 times stronger and has more power in fact one stomp could shatter the lion's skull but when the lion sees an elephant one word comes to mind "lunch". The lion acts the way it thinks and because it thinks it can eat the elephant it proceeds to attack whereas the elephant in spite of its strength and size advantages thinks that it is food hence it gets eaten. All of the elephant's qualities are a victim of the way its mind
