Why Taking Note of Your Personal Growth now could be More Important Than Ever

Five frogs are sitting on a log and 4 plan to get down . How many are left? The answer is five, because a choice isn't action. It’s a silly little riddle that author and coach Rich Litvin uses to motivate his readers and clients, but it illustrates one among the central challenges of private development: We all want to be, do and have more, but what percentage can pay the price: to act? Yes, immediately going outside may be a risk and therefore the global economy is transforming in painful ways. As shut-ins, we’re having trouble finding motivation. Maybe it would be easier to coast? But what proportion is sitting on the log costing you? Or, to flip it, what could you gain if you acted now to be, do and have more? The whole world is unraveling, but it seems a crisis is filled with opportunity. PART I: Why Grow Now? “The price of inaction is way greater than the value of creating an error .” —Meister Eckhart For some, hunkering down and expecting the storm to pass mig...

Give Life Meaning

"What is the meaning of life?" This is a question that we all ask ourselves at one point or another of our existence here. It is a question that I have asked myself many times over the years. The best answer that I ever came across was written by the great psychologist, Viktor Frankl who had survived the Nazi Concentration camps in World War II. Frankl wrote that "The meaning of life is to give life meaning." When I was a young boy I gave my life meaning by simply playing, running, jumping, swimming, laughing, and riding my bike. When I went to school I gave my life meaning by learning, studying hard, getting good grades and trying to make my Mom and Dad proud. When I was a teenage boy I found meaning in playing sports, hanging out with my friends, and trying to impress girls. In college I found my meaning by deciding what I wanted to study and what career I wanted to prepare for. When I was working as a teacher I found meaning in helping to open young minds to n...

Respect People's Ideas and Support their Dreams.

Correct me if am wrong, but I believe it was Albert Einstein that said "Everybody is a genius, but if you judge a fish by its ability to climb tress, it will live the rest of its life believing that it is stupid". Why are our kids and youths being judge by what they can not do? Why are they constantly called stupid just because they don't understand vocabulary or because they can't solve equations? But yet you find that same kid to be a great cook, a good barber, a good mechanic, a good dancer, a good cleaner, but lack of academic excellence makes him/her worthy enough to become stupid? No! The stupid ones are the teachers and parents who want the best for their kids but ignores everything good in them. "Success is not acquired, it is developed from what you are inside. From writing love letters to writing love novels, from cooking in empty cans to owning restaurant, from driving bamboo cars to driving trucks and buses, from fixing a light bulb to fixing a transf...

Women, what and who are we really fighting?

A woman has always had more responsibilities from the beginning of time. That cannot even be debated. So ask yourself? Why are we given more responsibilities than the men? Could it be that women are stronger? Strength cannot be defined only by the physical and if we don't understand that, then it's on us. Strength in character, strength in emotion, strength in personality , strength in endurance, strength in faith, strength in everything we do. We are resilient, powerful, determined, wise, smart, intelligent, we are everything we ought to be. So how then can we be...

You are Enough

No matter  how loud their opinions are, others cannot choose who you are. The question should not be,  "why don't they like me when I'm being me?" it  should be, "why am I wasting my time worrying about what they think of me?" if you are not hurting anyone with  your actions, keep moving forward with your life. When someone judges you, rejects you or abandons you, look it isn't about you, No it's  not! It is about them, it's about their own insecurities. You worth is never based on other people's acceptance of you. You exist therefore, You matter. Hold onto the ...
