Keep Hope Alive by J Ezuh

If you have found yourself in a tight spot right now.........Good news!!! You are not alone!!! Whatever you are going through right now, is not unique to you.


There is someone, somewhere in the world going through the same thing. Now the other news is....someone else is going through something that is 10 times worse than whatever you are facing. You may be wondering why I am informing you of this seemingly obvious fact.

The reason is simple. When you realise that you are not alone in the race of life then you don't feel like the world has conspired to rain only bad luck on you. You can even try to imagine if the "other" person is coping better or applying different strategies to get a better result.

It is also worth recognising that at least one person has gone through the same problem and has come out on the other side a  much better person. This would enable you to have a focal point that empowers you through the tough times.

Life is in stages and cycles. There are upward and downward cycles. Each cycle teaches us and makes us better in handling life. Every disappointment is really a lesson learned on how not to approach that same issue.

In essence what I am saying to you is just hold that candle light up. It is not time to crouch in the dark. Keep putting one foot in front of the other. Eventually you will get out of that situation.

Are you feeling rejected, dejected, abandoned, disappointed, unloved, unworthy??? Whatever feeling characterises your state now, just hold on to the hope that THIS TOO WILL PASS.
This will not be the first time you have faced adversity, neither will it be the last. So, don't bow to the situation but ride on the waves of change to a brighter and more beautiful future.

The popular saying TOUGH TIMES DON'T LAST, TOUGH PEOPLE DO, is one to be remembered at all times.
Keep hope alive and do not bow to the pressures around you. I was having a discussion with someone on the subject of inner peace. A rich person and a poor person can both be devoid of inner peace that is because they have associated their peace with either the need to preserve wealth or the need to acquire it. So your peace needs to be separated from your wealth status and from the things going on in your life. This will help you have clarity and focus to deal with issues.

Be open to learning from people's mistakes so you can avoid them.

DON'T GIVE UP
YOU ARE NOT ALONE
KEEP HOPE ALIVE

Work Smarter, Not Harder: 21 Time Management Tips to Hack Productivity

Image
By  Jordan Bates   Synopsis “Don’t say you don’t have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.” ― H. Jackson Brown Jr. A lot of folks in our society try to be hyper-productive. You know — the people who scurry from task to task, always checking e-mail, organizing something, making a call, running an errand, etc. The people who do this often subscribe to the idea that “staying busy” means you’re working hard and are going to be more successful. While this belief may be true to an extent, it often leads to mindless “productivity” — a constant need to do something and a tendency to waste time on menial tasks. Instead of behaving in this way, I choose to do things differently. Working Smarter, Not Harder The old adage, “work smarter, not harder” has become a staple in the way I go about work of an...

We Should Admire Success, Whether It’s Ours or Somebody Else’s by Paul June

Did someone change the dictionary and not bother to tell me? Methinks so, because “success” seems to have become a four-letter word overnight. When I was growing up (you know, back in the day when we had to walk 20 miles to school, uphill both ways), success was something to be admired, something to strive for. But now, success seems to be something to view with contempt and scorn, as though someone else’s success must have happened at the expense of your good fortune (or someone else’s). Sure, there are some bad apples out there, but the good outweigh the bad by far. Success should be celebrated, admired, honored.  Why?  When someone gets a bonus at work, or some other form of recognition, are you happy for him or her—even when you get no such recognition? Or do you become overwhelmed with the feeling of sour grapes  (or bananas) , wishing it was you in the spotlight? What about when a family member or friend is the center of attention at your latest gatherin...
