LIVE FROM THE INSIDE, OUT...


The  environment  plays a vital role in our  lives. It influences to a large extent, who we are. It shapes our personalities,provides us, with much needed life experiences. It also sets the tone for how we interact with other people.


The intricate relationships, that exists in the environment makes it very dynamic. So, it is important to remain "centered". It will be unsettling, if not exhausting, to live a life, that is always changing with the environment. By all means, change can be a good thing.However, you need long term focus to achieve,  your life goals.

Learn to live from the inside, out ; not from the outside in. Have a clear picture of what you want, and take it from life. You will be doing yourself a great disservice, if you  resign yourself only  to what life gives you. Why settle for less, when you can  have more?

NO DREAM IS TOO BIG.......

Why do you think children have such colorful imaginations? Maybe it is because they believe anything is possible. Their minds are open, and free from worry, fear, and all other emotions that can be restrictive. 

Ask a child, what they want to become when they grow up? Their answers are guaranteed to make you smile. Yes, it may change by the  hour or day, but they will always have an answer for you. 
So what was your answer to this popular question? Did you achieve it? Are you in the process of achieving it?Or did you take a totally  different path?  

Life, is full of "surprises". Some pleasant, others not so pleasant. However,every "surprise" has its purpose.Your perspective on life, is the key, to making your dreams come true. You may have to make some changes. That's okay, change is the only constant in nature. Never lose you inner child, and your life will be full of color. Always remember, no dream is too big. If you can conceive it, you can achieve it. Leave no room for self doubt or fear. 


“There is only one thing that makes a dream impossible to achieve: the fear of failure.”

YOU CAN'T KNOW IT ALL...

In life, people have different interests. These interests, come with a certain degree of knowledge. Knowledge, as with everything in life, is constantly changing. In other wards, experience/education acquired in the past or present,may not always be relevant.

By all means share your knowledge, and/or experiences. However, do so with the understanding that it is not cast in stone.  There is no shame, in accepting your knowledge, or experience may have become "out dated". Instead, make  a conscious effort to stay up to date.Do not be afraid to  explore beyond your comfort zone.  Re-invent yourself if you have to.Challenge yourself , learn new things.

Life, is indeed a school. It always has something to teach you. Keep an open mind, learn all you can. Trust me, you will be wiser for it. HAPPY LEARNING.

SPEAK YOUR MIND....

Being able to express yourself with words is a must. Unless of course, you are a hermit. You'll  be surprised that even hermits, write down their thoughts. In life, it doesn't matter if you consider yourself to be an introvert, extrovert or a bit of both, you have to interact with other people.

 During the course of these interactions, you will need to be vocal. Yes, there are times when you find silence to be golden. Learn to recognize these times.However, you should also learn how to speak your mind. There's nothing wrong with speaking your mind. Speak your mind, but choose your words.  Do not let your emotions choose the words for you. Please note,  this does not apply to romantic proclamations, OK?

If you want to be heard, you will need to master the art of  listening.Good listeners, make good speakers. Good listeners seem to be among the minority. Be a part of that minority, and hear your words, echo across the world. 

"Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen".
                                                                                                           - Winston Churchill

THE BEST LOVE AFFAIR.......


L'amour,  the emotion that emanates from the body's power house itself, the heart.  Love is a very powerful emotion. It transcends logic and time. Ever had the experience of a love affair? Did you see it coming? Or did it creep up on you?  You began to smile, didn't you? I mean smiles that reached your eyes, and made them twinkle.


Hold that thought. Now that's how you should feel about life. When you have a love affair with life. you will catch yourself smiling a lot more. The sky will look clearer. People will seem  nicer. Most importantly, you will recognize each dawn for what it is, an opportunity. Why will all this happen? Because you will have passion.You can not have love without passion. Passion, when harnessed and channeled in a positive way, puts the EXTRA in ORDINARY.

To have a love affair with life, you need to love yourself, in all entirety.  Remember it is more about awareness than perfection.Live each day with zest and vigor. Like all love affairs, there will be down times, not to worry. Make the effort to acknowledge, and address. When it comes to love, it doesn't matter if it is a person, an activity or object. Love is, keeping hope alive.
