Never Give Up On People.

NEVER GIVE UP ON PEOPLE

Check this out

Every time I think I have someone figured out, they surprise me.

Sometimes this is bad news.

The person that I think could never fail, fails.
The confidant who I think could never betray, betrays.
The friend who I think will always be there, isn’t there.
                - Kelvin A Thompson


Today l want to talk about looking beyond the ordinary individual who is aspiring for success and not to be judged based on the individual's reach.

"Faith is not belief without proof, but trust without reservation." ~D. Elton Trueblood


Have we thought about
Looking beyond fame in picking personality?

Looking beyond your measurement yardstick of success in others?

Celebrities  were once wanna be you know.
Oooh yes they were once newbie.

I thought it was all about the content,l thought it was all about the skills and not the name behind the skills.

Haba people!!!!
If we don't give people avenue to strive
How then do they nourish to flourish?
How do they fly and go beyond reaching the sky?
How?
Is it by the snubbing we give them and judgement we pass based on our exposures or based on our school of thought.

Let today be the day...You pay attention to what you feed your mind, your body, and your life. Create a nourishing environment conducive to your growth and well-being today."

8 Simple Ways to Nourish Yourself .

Kim Horstman .

1. Listen to Your Body
No matter what lifestyle you currently maintain, you will experience beneficial effects from listening to your body’s signals.

2. Self-Empowerment
Be your own health advocate and decide what resonates, what truly resonates with you. After all, you are ultimately responsible for your health and you can live without disease!

3. Self-Love
Self-empowerment leads to self-love and self-love is the most important thing! This is where it all begins, and caring for your physical body is part of loving yourself. Make eating an act of self-love, and consciously choose to treat your body with respect and reverence.

4. Choose Your Attitude
Don’t forget your attitude! Health breeds awareness and joy for living. Look at yourself honestly and ask “do I have a good attitude about being open to change and/or new experiences”? I often tell people I would rather see you eat a hamburger with love, than a salad with hate. Learn to read your own perspective by being open. Allow your attitude of gratitude to shine through if for no other reason than to see if anything shifts for you.

5. Transitioning
Think about moving into this phase of your new lifestyle with an “adding-in perspective” as opposed to the standard diet mentality of “cutting-out”. Adding-in positively charged healthful foods will ultimately push out those unwanted unhealthy foods, and you will not experience that painful perspective of craving.

6. Experiencing
Try to commit to 1 day, 1 weekend, 1 week (or longer), and just try to FEEL the difference a small change can make. Also try sharing the experience with your partner or a friend.

7. Socializing
We all have established ‘social situations’ we are part of, and we tend to use these situations as excuses and reasons why we do, or don’t do certain things.
Remember that when you are living the best version of yourself, you will inspire others to live the best version of themselves!


8. Conscious Mind-Body Living
Consciously nourishing your mind and body is essential.

Have fun getting nourished.

I found myself.

“Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it.”
 ~ Rumi.

So we ask ourselves many questions all the time.
Is this me?
Do l really know myself?
Do people understand me?
What do l really want to do?
What is stopping me?
What mask do l wear?

I feel good in my own style !

There is an amazing power getting to know your inner self and learning how to use it and not fight with the world. If you know what makes you happy, your personality, interests and capabilities, just use them, and everything else flows beautifully.

 Juhi Chawla

I feel good in my style !

Who says you have to join the bandwagon to feel accomplished?

What happens to doing your own  thing in your own style and feeling good about it .

And be your original self and stop be a wannabe and get lost in the crowd trying to be what you are not.

"Always be yourself, express yourself, have faith in yourself, do not go out and look for a successful personality and duplicate it". ..

Sketching

Sketching is almost everything. It is the painter's identity, his style, his conviction, and then color is just a gift to the drawing. Fernando Botero

What are you sketching today?

Sketches we make will pop up our identities styles,convictions and our colours.

On the flip side let's imagine what happens when we cease to sketch.


Taking the act of sketching to our various endeavours brings out the "WOW" effect.

So, today I challenge everyone reading this beautiful write up to sketch out your thoughts, dreams,aspirations, imaginations,fears,strengths and weaknesses and you will be amazed at what will pop up.

Have a wonderful day ahead.

Selfie Time

I have attempted taking a selfie several times and never come up with a good  picture.l tried  last week and got another "same as usual shots"

So today l decided to try it out again after reading a write -up by a friend and highlighted a great qoute from the write - up.


“You will never know how much you can
 accomplish until you try. ...
And l said to myself "you are going to take a selfie today and it is going to be nice"

Yippee!
I finally got a nice one.

Today l want to liken this simple act to our endeavours we have made attempts to get right and we still not making a headway.
Never give up!
Just read this to yourself "  You will never know how much you can
 accomplish until you try. ...  head for making your dreams come true.

It is okay to ask for help.

I have been battling with Writer's block for  some days now.
So l spoke to a friend about it and he suggested reading a Book.At first,l wondered what reading and reading has got to do with Writer's block. I took the advice and read and read and kept surfing from site to site and was l amazed at the numbers of topics l wanted to write about starting from this moment.



Sometimes it is okay to ask for help because you can't know it all. You will be amazed at the benefits of asking for help and what it  does to you.


5 big benefits of asking for help.

By Unstuck




1.Relationship building.Just imagine the smart, connected people you could meet if you put out the call for help. Or, if the assistance comes from someone you know, your bond will get stronger, more familiar, more relaxed and satisfying.

2.Happiness giving.Plainly put, people like to help. They find it gratifying that they can make someone else’s life easier. When you give them that chance, you are making at least two people’s worlds a little brighter.

3.Competence shining.Akin to making someone happy, allowing a person to help you lets them tap into their superpower, be a hero, and enjoy a sense of purpose. That makes the act of accepting help one of generosity, not neediness.

4.Health bringing. With help comes relief, and relief goes a long way in stamping out energy-sapping stress and negativity. In short, you’ll feel, think, and act better.

5.Productivity driving. Help, of course, will let you be more efficient, successful, creative, useful—all the things that you crave in your stuck moment.

Do you remember?

Do you remember?
When we were much younger.
So much laughter !
So much fun !


We jumped and bathed in the rain.
We shouted with lots of energy  and played with sand.


Do you remember?
We merry with little troubles on our mind.
We talked and had no grudges.
We feed our tummies and careless how the food came by.
We slept with lots of excitement  and wake up with loads of liveness and pleasant dreams.

Do you remember?
When we were much younger.
So much laughter!
So much fun!

My lips are sealed and my heart is open.

My lips are sealed.
My heart is open.... My lips are sealed....
My heart is open.

My lips are sealed.
My heart is open.

Sometimes we have the opportunity to peep
into others lives.
The things we see and hear.
Makes one appreciates the little things in our
lives.

My lips are sealed.
My heart is open.

We often feel saddened.
We often feel what a waste.
But again a walk downtown to reality of life
melts away our ugly thoughts.

My lips are sealed.
My heart is open.

This is a journey we embark on.
This is who we are.
This is the life we live.
Sometimes it's high with goodies.
Sometimes it's just our normal lives.
Sometimes it's nothing we want to talk about.
But again a peep into others lives makes our
lives the best.
A walk downtown to the reality of life melts
our ugly thoughts away......
And again............ My lips are sealed.
My heart is open.

Redeemed!!! I rather remain appreciative.
I rather remain thankful.
I rather remain open to the realities of life.
And then.
My lips will be full of praises.
My heart will be open to tidings of life.

A glimpse into the future.

A glimpse into the future. "The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write but those who cannot learn,unlearn and relearn"
Alvin Toffler

It's been a while I wrote on my blog. I have been very busy with lots of activities towards career development.My head is full of lots of new information for futuristic thinking and amsearching for where to download it.What other place than my blog to everyone inspired.
Before inspiring into the future we have to have a picture of what we want.
It's normal for us to relax and do the same thing,the same way every time.It makes things easier we think,but have we thought about thinking outside box and searching for something new and we will be marvelled at the extent we are missing at the latest technologies on our various fields.We are living in exponential time where many things are changing so fast and many things are controlled by the mind.

We need to open our hearts to solve new things,open our eyes to see new things and open our ears to hear about new things.
Probably just a new dimension into our businesses will be a turning point for us and we begin to smile at the successes we have achieved. 

Get Inspired and have a glimpse into the future.Start engaging in activities that brings out a new and greater dimension in your life,in your place of work and in  your business so that you can feature in the picture of the nearest future.

Nafisat.

With an energized stride.
Throbbing feelings.
Fluttering pulses.
Convincing touch.

Why you need to know your Strengths.

Why you need to know your Strengths
     

Yesterday I was having an interactive discussion with some few teachers during a training and we spoke at length about knowing our strengths and channelling our energy, passion ,zeal and all we have got to make it a hit!

Have we stopped to think why some people just excel with flying colours at what they do.

Is it just luck?
Is it a guessing game?
Is it  Strengths?


Yes it is Divine.......
But do we also realise understanding strengths and weaknesses playing out here.Which makes me want to further probe and learn more on understanding our strengths and the advantages of using it wisely.



What are Strengths?

Strengths are a unique combination of your skills, talents, knowledge and experience. You have many Strengths, some are obvious, but many others aren’t. Many of your Strengths go underutilized, unappreciated, and too often, unrewarded.

Reasons Why We Need To Know Our Strengths.


1.  Saves you time – Finding out what you are good at will allow you to save time on having to re-learn a skill or job.  Not that you are trying to study or check out your other career options, but if you are, knowing which talents or skills you have will help you narrow your choices right away



2.  Allows you to grow even more – Sitting down and writing down what you are strong at, or what you can excel at, can help you branch out and aim even higher than you were before.  You can achieve so much more than you thought you could!





3.  Boosts your self confidence –  Finding out what your strong points are, no  matter what they are, will definitely give you a boost in self confidence.  They might even be skills like drawing, writing or cooking.  When we feel confident, we can achieve so much more.




4.  Makes you a happier person –  When you feel good about yourself, you know you can do anything!  Deep inside, knowing you have a skill set that will give you an edge will definitely make you a happier person.




5.  You can be an inspiration and guide for others –  When you have taken the time to check and analyze your strengths, you can now use that to be an inspiration and a guide for others.  You can be the light at the end of the tunnel for others.  Your boss will love you for it.

And So Why?

Teacher's like you gave us the opportunity to be who we are today.

So why are you holding back on the children we teach?


Parent's like you gave us the opportunity to be responsible adults that we are today.

So why are you failing in your parenting responsiblities on the present day children?

Mothers like you used their last sweat to make sure we got the best and nothing but the best for us.

So why are you blaming situations for your inabilities to take up your role as a mother?


Fathers like you used their last might and power to make they provided for the family and always there for the family no matter what they went through.

So why are you eyeing all the latest trendy gadgets and comfortability for yourself despite the numbers of lives depending on you?



The society then collectively set watching eyes on children, norms,morals and family life.


So why is the society more concerned about the intangible aspects of life and letting down our future leaders.

I can do it

Personal development covers activities that improve awareness and identity, develop talents and potential, build human capital and facilitate employability, enhance the quality of life and contribute to the realization of dreams and aspirations.


To have more than you’ve got, become more than you are.
