Set your house in perfect order before you criticize the world




 

There are over 6 billion people on planet earth today which literally makes each one of us a spec in the dust when it comes to world statistics. The issue that arises with this is that people often then under estimate the power of their actions. Look at it this way, in your network of friends, associates, colleagues and family members you could know over a hundred people and those hundred people know their hundred people each. This means you are 1 person from 10 000 people and 2 people away from a million. This just shows how huge an influence on act has on the world so next time you are about to do something bad remember that your actions have the potential to impact a million people.

So seeing how our actions have either a negative or positive impact on millions, the same can also apply in our lives where a single change of habit can have a domino effect on everything else in your life. My favorite part would be how Jordan Peterson advices young people to clean up their rooms as a remedy to a chaotic life. 



Well that really does not make any sense, what does cleaning one's room have to do with living an orderly life. Well here are a few points on how that simple act can change a lot :

  • It takes an incredible amount of discipline to get up everyday, make your bed, clean your room and just put everything in order every single morning. So the very first thing you learn here is discipline and once you can nail down the discipline part then you are half way done.
  • Using the domino effect principle just imagine the good that will come from that one action. Once you put your immediate world which is your room in order then you will immediately find other things that need fixing and then all of a sudden your world is a bit better everyday.
  • Funny enough just by that one act your vision becomes a little clearer everyday because you are putting your life in order bit by bit and that means you can see things much more clearer
Putting your life in order I believe does not mean having it all figured out because that does not sound like something anyone would want because we all crave challenges in life. Putting your life in order means with starting with the little things and they will compound to make even larger changes. Have a blessed week and Thank God its Monday

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 . The reason why people end up los...

The horse is made ready for the day of battle

" The horse is made ready for the day of battle, but victory rests with the LORD " ~ King Solomon(Proverbs 21 vs 31).This is a verse I got from my little brother during one of our family devotions and it really got me thinking. In ancient times the horse was considered one of the finest beasts man could ever own and use for his/her personal use. Before it was used for agricultural purposes it was mostly used for transportation and for war as the soldiers would ride atop of it into battle. The horses were readied for battle a day or 2 prior to battle so that when the day arrives they are in perfect shape and would prove to be an advantage to their owners. King Solomon however knew something that a majority of people didn't know, that we may have the finest horses but victory rests or lies with the Lord. This to me means that before there is even a victory the horses need to be made ready for the battle and this allows the victory to rest with the Lord because we wo...

Value your identity

Image
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 ...
