Who defines you?

There is a voice in everyone's head. This little voice helps us through decision making, it talks us into and out of taking action or doing certain things rightly or wrongly.

This little voice defines us. It constitutes of the entire notions that make us who we are. No matter how courageous we are if we cannot tame or redirect the little voice we will be hampered by it.

The issue then is to fully recognise this voice and most importantly what it is leading us to believe about ourselves.

The quality of our thoughts belies the quality of our life. Positive people can only remain so because they have a voice of positivity inside them that in the face of any challenge is able to release an echo of positive words.

The fact of human existence is simply GIGO: Garbage in, garbage out. The nature of environment we immerse ourselves in determines the construct of the inner voice. We must endeavour to be surrounded by positive people and also seek out materials such as books, audio and video that are rooted in positivity. This builds up the inner voice with positive notions that become a definition of who we are.

Unlearning decades of calling yourself a loser, stupid or other degrading connotations is not going to be achieved overnight. However, it is only an absolute commitment to re-educate the mind that will make this possible. 

Having reminders and writing out specific things that you want to imbibe into your subconscious about yourself, goes a long way.

It is necessary to re-educate the mind because, the mind can be either a hindrance or a support towards achieving your dreams. A positive mind is not bogged down by challenges, but rather engages in finding a solution.

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...
