If not now then when?


 I am sure we are all familiar with the term "I will start tomorrow" or "I will only start once something else has happened". Well it turns out a lot of world changing ideas have died as a result of these statements because in that case tomorrow never comes and that something never happens. Thinking of an idea is the easy part, I believe the difficulty always comes in starting because once you have started then you are now one step closer to achieving your goal.

So what causes us to procrastinate in such a tremendous way? What causes us to have a brilliant idea, calculate all the possible outcomes and define a clear path in which you are going to take, only to forget about the whole thing the next day?


I personally feel like the fear of moving out of our comfort zones is what keeps us in them. By definition a comfort zone can be a place or even a state of mind where you are neither being challenged or growing in any aspect. Comfort zones are classified as a short term pleasure with long term implications. Getting up early every morning  to work out may be a daunting task for some and some may even see it as something impossible that is only done by professional athletes or fitness gurus. What we do not realize is that the so called professionals and gurus also used to have that same conversation in their mind where they are trying to get up but their brain is reminding them of how nice and warm the blanket is. 


What one should do in that moment of conflict is to just "GET UP AND DO IT". The moment you just get up and do it, you will find out that it is much much easier than you though and you are capable of doing it every morning. Then the next day comes and you do the same thing then you are now in the professional athlete and fitness guru bracket. It is all about consistency after that but the consistency could have only come from the first day you decided to get up and do it.

So what is really stopping you from doing what you want to do? It is ok to start small while thinking big because all great building need a strong and steady foundation. So my question is...When are you going to start laying your foundation.

Have a blessed and productive week filled with success and happiness. Enjoy this week's read and Thank God its Monday

Sweet are the uses of adversity

Image
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 ...
