The Power of Determination

Determination isn't about putting in the work for the sake of putting it in. It's about working hard when things get tough. It's about making the best out of the worst. You need to find a part of you that will be untouched by adversity and soar to excellence.

The Importance of Adversity

A lot of people go through different things in life. We don't always ask ourselves; "Why do good things happen to us or others?" It always seems to be easier to ask; "Why did these bad things happen?" But it is an interesting phenomenon that through hardships we can learn to be the best of best. In its essence, adversity can actually prepare us to be better equipped to help others in the future. So don't forget to make the best out of the worst and the best of the best in everything. If you look at things this way...either way you will be fine. Have a resourceful attitude today!

Negativity and rising

We all have faced negativity in certain stages of our lives...that sinking feeling. However, there is no need to fear negativity, as it is also a teacher, as someone once said, "Adversity is the greatest teacher." So when things are not going as well with people or things, don't stress, but instead take it as a training ground. Not only that, but as a gift from life to help you  to be prepared in the future for similar instances, as we all know life is sometimes a cycle, which sometimes leads to history repeating itself in many forms.

 

Charity begins with whoever is around

Sometimes we think we are not doing any real help unless we are helping starving children in Africa or elsewhere, but even in America, 1 in 4 children are at risk of going to bed hungry, and need a helping hand. So we should not shy away from helping them too. Also, if you have a friend or enemy  close-by or afar who needs anything, be it morally, physically or psychologically just reach out and help them. The funny thing about helping others is when you realize that in the end you also feel wonderful....it is like a divine give and take. Try it and let me know....Great day!

Poverty....oh poverty

I have never thought that poverty was similar to violence. But now, that I think of the forces behind poverty....I am finally able to see how it could be a form of violence. I think there are some oppressive systems in place which would rather think of profit than the cost of a human life. I am yet to learn about those systems, but take time with me today to reflect on how we can help uproot the systematic causes of poverty. Peace everybody!

Giving up or in...

Whenever you change your mind after trying very hard at something...don't feel defeated. Change is good. It's like a law of nature, because if nothing changes we won't have day and night or different seasons. Nevertheless, make sure that you make the right kind of change. Weigh all the pros and cons, listen to advice, and then follow your instinct. Be strong....being strong is not only about holding on and continuing. Learn to know when to start at one in order to win the war.

Great day!

Opposition means "Let's soar!"

Hey there everybody around the world! Today we are going to talk about opposition. Have you ever sometimes felt like you wanted to stop because of opposition? But who said that opposition has to be a red light? You never know maybe opposition is sometimes your yellow light telling you to wait a little longer...or maybe it is your green light telling you to go with all your might in pursuit of your dreams. Whenever you want to stop because of opposition when you know you have to go on just remember that a "kite rises against the wind." So go out and soar like a kite...Happy weekend!
 

Persistence beats the odds...

There are some things that we dream of doing that sometimes drain our energy for dreams worth pursuing. Or other times in the process of making our dreams a reality we encounter challenges. I think one of the keys to overcoming such downward circumstances is to be persistent. We should never let a "single defeat" cause us to lose sight of our coming victory.

So in whatever you do ...no matter how it gets don't forget to remain persistent and optimistic!
