Thank God its Monday

What wakes you up every morning? What brings you joy every day? What defines you? In my view asking yourself these 3 questions and having consistent answers to them will bring you towards your definite purpose in life. Brian Tracy was once quoted to say this about your definite purpose :  “The one goal that is most important to you at the moment.  It is usually the one goal that will help you to achieve more of your other goals than anything else you can accomplish.” This week I will highlight 4 major attributes which might help you find your definite purpose and hopefully pull you through. It must be something you want on a personal level . The goal must be the reason you wake up everyday and the mere thought of it should get you pumped up and ready to go. It must be clear and specific . Often times we are subject to drifting because a few weeks or months into working towards our goal we forget it or become distracted by peripheral things. Clearly specify your goal in your mind and if

In my opinion this is a very interesting time to live in. It is a time where the greater majority of people are becoming more aware of their emotions and mental health is a topic which to a greater extent is making people act more humane towards one another. This should be a good thing but we are still realizing a huge rise in depression levels and the number of suicides that are directly or indirectly as a result of depression or other factors are on the rise as well . I think people have become more sensitive to others' well being that we often forget that our own being requires the same love and compassion we show to others.  So why don't we love ourselves ? Society in all its glory has set a benchmark to which one must level with or surpass in order to be " truly happy ". Societal ideals or rather what society deems to be perfect is far from anyone's reach because in all honesty everyone has their definition of a " perfect human being " Chasing this

Our past as many would argue is always going to be a huge part of our life. The sad part is a majority of the memories we remember are those in which our lives were at an all time low. This can be a certain failure, heartbreak or some other catastrophic event. Continuously replaying such events unintentionally molds us into the people we are and would result in loss of confidence, depression and just a general lack of purpose or value in life. If these things don't shape us then the constant criticism we receive from friends and family molds us unfortunately. A number of people are the way they are simply because of what was said or what happened to them that they can not let go of. Holding on to such negative emotions not only has its toll on your emotional and mental well  being but it also has some effect even on your physical well being. The most powerful thing in the world is to be consistent with the thoughts values that you believe to be true about you . In my view identity

Sometimes our thoughts are backed by so much insec urity that they create lies we believe. Lies that are told by others are not the ones that destroy us, rather it is those that we tell ourselves that lead us on the path of self-destruction. This path can start in a kindergarten classroom where the teacher said something negative about you or later on in primary school were your classmates made you feel like an outcast. We have all been through some form of traumatizing period in our life which has left us feeling less than we are worth. As the years progress, these lies that we were told shape the way our lives go and we find ourselves scarred for life. Personally I have heard my own fair share of such lies fed to me and have lived the greater part of my life believing them. There are 4 common lies that we all have come across at some point in our lives as well as believed them and it is time we knew the truth and expose these lies for the shams that they are.
