The 'ONE DAY I WILL' Myth: Do you believe that one day you will achieve your dream and finally be happy? This is unlikely to happen. You may (and I hope you will) achieve your dream, but you won't live 'happily ever after'. This is just another trick your mind plays on you. Your mind quickly acclimates to new situations, which is probably the result of evolution and our need to adapt continually in order to survive and reproduce. This is also probably why the ne car or house you want will only make you happy for a while. Once the initial excitement wears off, you'll move on to crave the next exciting thing. This phenomenon is known as 'Hedonic adaptation'.

Offer results, not alibis.

There are many people who — perhaps with the best of intentions — make promises they somehow never get around to keeping. These folks have usually developed a number of perfectly plausible explanations for not meeting their commitments; they have become experts at explaining away their failures. Successful people, though, are those who accept responsibility for their lives. They know that talk is cheap; actions are all that really matter. The world is waiting for men and women who seek the opportunity to render real service — the kind of service that lightens the burdens of their neighbors, the kind of service that 95 percent of people do not render because they do not understand it. When you provide a truly useful service, enthusiastically and in a spirit of genuine helpfulness, success will automatically follow. The world seeks out such individuals and rewards them accordingly.

Every day that you wake up, commit yourself to becoming better than you were the previous day. Make sure you do something better than you used to, everyday. That's how to grow in excellence. The principle of growth is such that it doesn't just require consistency, it also demands effort in improvement.
Your growth is not effective until it comes with improvement. You can amass years behind a venture and still be on the same level as the day you started. Yes, you have been consistent and perhaps diligent, but you have not grown. This paradox is what plagues our society today, we have so many people doing so many things but still stuck where they are.
Consistency is a good start, but it doesn't end there. Consistency with improvement is the key ingredient to growth. If you must grow, you must get better and that takes commitment. It will never be easy, this is what a lot of people don't seem to understand. Growth is not easy. You cannot grow anything without paying extra attention to it. You can't grow physically if you don't feed your body the nutrients it needs. Growth is not natured, it is nurtured.
If you want to actually grow, you have to be consistent, committed and intentional about doing what you do in a better way than you did it the previous time. There's no shortcut to this. May your journey be full of growth!

"We don't grow when things are easy; we grow when we face challenges" - Anonymous
The concept of tests and exams was borrowed from one of the fundamental principles of Life. The principle of growth. Before you are promoted to a new class or rank in the workplace, there are usually requirements you are meant to fulfill - tests, exams, interviews. Most times, these tests are not easy but you have to pass them before you are promoted. That's how life is; only in this case, we are tested with trials and challenges.
No matter how much a macho man gyms, he can't claim strength over a 100lb dumb-bell until he successfully lifts it. That's Life. You can't claim to be strong until your strength has been tested and proven.
So why do you keep running from the things that come to prove your strength? If we keep running from trials and challenges instead of facing them head on, we will never grow, we will never level up, we will never rise! That's life. The more you rise, the more the difficulty of challenges and that's perfectly normal, because you also rise when you overcome them!
Stop running from growth. Face your trials head on and with wisdom, rise!

My wish for all women (my mothers/sisters/friends):
~ Love yourself.

~ Know you are beautiful. Really own it. It’s not about your size, shape, color of hair or skin. It’s about being yourself and being healthy mentally, physically, emotionally and spiritually.

~ Don’t judge other women. You don’t know their history, their motivation or their struggles.

~ Support women owned businesses and women in their careers.

~ Equally, support women who choose to stay home with their kids.

~ Please don’t judge her for her choices.

~ Remember, a rising tide lifts all boats - don’t compete. There’s room for all of us in any sphere. It’s a big world.

~ Take good care of you. Don’t keep putting others (or your work) first to your own detriment. You will be of no help anyway once you get sick because you didn’t.

~ Please, please please - reduce your stress so you are here longer.

~ Grow your confidence - Really notice your accomplishments, those who love you and want to be with you.

~ Know you are far more capable than you think you are, and far more worthy.

~ Take some down time - to reflect, sit in gratitude, get a massage, take a walk and just think. Or to just be.

~ Turn off your electronics and just be quiet for a little while every single day.

~ Love hard.

~ Dream big.

~ Ignore the naysayers.

~ Remember, yes you can!

📚📚📚10 Things Courageous People Do Without Realizing It📚📚📚

1. THEY KNOW WHAT THEY WANT: Would you ever consider getting in your car without a planned destination? You would be driving around all day wasting time and fuel and still end up nowhere. The same concept is true for a life without purpose. First, you must know who you are and where you’re going. Your goals may change many times during the seasons of your life, but at least you have them listed. Then, you apply the courage to accomplish what you’ve planned.

2. THEY AREN’T QUITTERS: One of the hallmarks of brave people is their tenacious spirit that refuses to quit, regardless of adversity. If this sounds like you, you know how to reach beyond your fears and the unknown to reach your goals. Courage compels you to ignore the naysayers, and you won’t back down just because the going gets rough.

3. THEY DON’T FEAR FAILURE: Think of the many things that would never have been accomplished in this world if people were afraid to fail. Some famous people who didn’t let fear and failure get in the way of their dreams. Among these include Albert Einstein, Fred Astaire, Milton Hershey, Benjamin Franklin, and Marie Curie. Take inspiration from these successful people and use your failures as steppingstones to your goals.

4. THEY ARE GENUINE: In a world filled with fakes and “wannabes,” courageous people are sincere and genuine. Anybody can follow the crowd and try to be someone they’re not. However, you may be one of those brave souls who have healthy self-esteem and are comfortable in your skin. Instead of conforming, you embrace your individuality and your quirks. If someone doesn’t want to be your friend, you figure it’s their problem, not yours. Brave people often make their best friends because of their transparency and honesty.


5. THEY SPEAK UP: Courageous people realize that taking a stand for their beliefs isn’t always popular. For some people in history, speaking out for what was right was often dangerous. Standing up for justice isn’t an easy task, but it’s what makes positive changes in our world. Also, you are less likely to be bound in a toxic relationship when you speak for yourself. Not only do brave people voice their rights, but they often become the voice for the vulnerable and others who are hurting.


6. THEY ASK FOR HELP:

If you start at the top, you can move in only one direction — downward.

Perhaps the worst thing that might have happened to you would be to have been born with the proverbial silver spoon in your mouth. For had you been born into privilege, you would have been deprived of one of the world’s greatest gifts: the opportunity to reach the highest levels of success of which you are capable, solely on the basis of your own merit. If you were born with less than most, don’t resent others who seem to have more advantages. In truth, the real advantage is yours, for you will develop the self-confidence that comes only from meeting life’s challenges on your own terms. As you progress, you gain the strength and knowledge necessary to assure your enduring success, things that cannot be given to you, but must be earned.

Your “before I die list” [essential]
­­
Hope you’re splendid.

Sorry to bring up death in the title yet you and I both come with an expiration date.

Like it or not, we’ll all end up as dust. Soon or late.

Makes me think of Ted Leonsis. The tech titan, visionary leader and business disruptor.

He was on a plane when the pilot said it looked like they would crash. Just imagine. Actually, please don’t.

Face to face with the end, he reflected on the things that truly mattered. No accessories. Only priorities.

He considered all the things he didn’t do and the places he didn’t visit and the people he failed to meet.

He confronted his truest values and highest visions, reflecting on the busyness of life and how it causes even the best amongst us to stray from the mission.

Fortunately the aircraft landed safely.

In the terminal, Ted wrote out a list that would transform his life: a list of 101 things that he vowed to do before he died.

Within a few years most were done.Yet here’s the opportunity for you: to take a few pristine hours—hidden away from the world—to generate your list. Of 50 or 75 or 100 things you absolutely must get done before you pass into that great field of daisies in the sky.

It’ll help you identify what truly counts. So you can strip out the trivialities. And lead your most majestic life. Beginning (hopefully) today. Because now is a gorgeous time to start a better way.

Oh—a transformational starting point to upgrade your creativity, productivity, prosperity and serenity is also to install the early-rising habit so you have time each day to read, exercise, journal and meditate.

Examine most carefully the things you desire most.

Far too many people spend more time planning their weekends than their lives. Then they suddenly realize that life has passed them by and they weren’t even aware it was happening. When you intently study what you most desire in life, you begin to focus your mind and concentrate your energy upon that which you wish to achieve. One of the great advantages of having a definite goal for your life is that it helps you prioritize your activities. When your major purpose is clear in your mind, it is unnecessary to analyze each individual situation. You know automatically whether your actions will move you toward your goal or away from it. You can then use all of your resources — time, money, and energy — to best advantage.

Even if you were the greatest basketball player in the world, you couldn’t get far without your team. Another characteristic of brave people is that they aren’t afraid to ask for help when it’s needed. It challenges the misconception that only weak people need assistance from others. You show great courage when you realize that you can’t do something on your own. Asking for help is not only brave, but it connects you to other people. Putting forth a team effort can benefit everyone involved.

7. THEY WON’T SETTLE FOR SECOND BEST: Bravery encourages you to be your best and won’t allow you to settle for anything less. Anybody can take the easy route that doesn’t require effort. However, you can’t expect to get what you want in life if you aren’t willing to face adversity. Ask people who have found success in business if it happened overnight. Talk to the athletes who have trained a lifetime to excel in their sport. Brave people like these had to tough things out before they achieved their goals. It requires courage to bypass shortcuts and be patient. Remember how your parents used to tell you that good things come to those who wait?

8. THEY DON’T CONCENTRATE ON FEAR: Fear is a primordial emotion that functions as an internal alarm system in case of danger. It’s normal to be afraid when you are facing something new or the unknown. A person with courage isn’t fearless but looks beyond their fears and intimidations to reach their goals.

9. THEY CAN EXPRESS THEIR FEELINGS: Unfortunately, some people view emotional people as weak and scared. A study published by PLOS One Journal discovered that although men and women may have equal emotions in various situations, women were more apt to express their feelings. Boys are often socialized with the idea that showing their emotions is a sign of weakness. However, it takes brave men (and women) to express how their hearts are feeling. Stoicism may be useful in an emergency, but it certainly isn’t a virtue. As a brave person, you have no problem with letting others know how you feel. You are empathetic to their feelings as well. Only when people know each other’s feelings can they work together for goals and problem-solving.


10. THEY ADMIT THEIR FAULTS : Humans are fallible, and so are their relationships with others. However, it takes healthy people to admit their mistakes and shortcomings. Toxic personalities usually take the easy way out and shift the blame to others. You are displaying courage when you apologize to others and try to make amends. It means that you are healthy enough within yourself to say that you aren’t perfect, and you can admit when you’ve messed up. Then, you take steps not to repeat these same mistakes. Another badge of courage is the ability to forgive. While it may seem easier to hold a grudge, it zaps you of your strength. Bitterness is a poison that only destroys you, not your offender.

Nature yields her most profound secrets to those who are determined to uncover them.

The field of science is perhaps the best illustration of how success always seems to come to those who apply the principle of accurate thinking in a persistent, determined effort. America’s great inventor Thomas A. Edison is said to have failed 10,000 times in his attempt to develop a workable electric light bulb. He learned from each failure and refused to quit until he succeeded. Breakthroughs occur every day because a determined person continues to search for solutions to complex problems long after everyone else has given up and gone home. You may not invent the light bulb or the next supercomputer, but you can find creative solutions to old problems if you apply the proven principles of success consistently and persistently.

The average person would have quit at the first failure. That’s why there have been many average men and only one Edison.

Thomas Edison once observed that the reason most folks don’t recognize opportunity when it comes knocking is that it is often dressed in coveralls and looks like work. Edison knew that anything worthwhile never comes easily; if it were easy, anyone could do it. Because he persisted far beyond the point the average person would consider reasonable and rational, he produced inventions that even the most learned people of the day considered impossible. Great advances in knowledge are often achieved by people with an almost fanatical devotion to finding the solution to a problem. Flashes of inspiration alone are not enough to ensure success; they must be followed by determined, persistent action.

Remember, your mental limitations are of your own making.

For years, athletes attempted to run a mile in four minutes but it seemed to be a barrier that no one could overcome. Then on May 6, 1954, a British runner named Roger Gilbert Bannister ran a mile in 3:59.4 minutes to establish a world record. Soon afterward, other runners broke Bannister’s record. Too often, we accept conventional wisdom as fact. Make sure you set your goals high enough. Don’t settle for less because of limitations you place upon yourself. Most of us never really reach the level of achievement of which we are capable because we don’t challenge ourselves to do so. Perhaps Robert Browning said it best: “A man’s reach should exceed his grasp, / Or what’s a heaven for?”
