One always has to know when a stage comes to an end. If we insist on staying longer than the necessary time, we lose the happiness and the meaning of the other stages we have to go through. Closing cycles, shutting doors, ending chapters – whatever name we give it, what matters is to leave in the past the moments of life that have finished. Did you lose your job? Has a loving relationship come to an end? Did you leave your parents’ house? Gone to live abroad? Has a long-lasting friendship ended all of a sudden? You can spend a long time wondering why this has happened. You can tell yourself you won’t take another step until you find out why certain things that were so important and so solid in your life have turned into dust, just like that. But such an attitude will be awfully stressing for everyone involved: your parents, your husband or wife, your friends, your children, your sister. Everyone is finishing chapters, turning over new leaves, getting on with life, and they will all fee...

BY Strive Masiyiwa One day after attending a church service in London, I spent several hours going through bookshops looking for a bible translation called The Living Bible. There were no Amazon or Internet editions in those days, so I just had to go from shop to shop. The reason I was looking so determinedly for this translation was because of something that had been preached that morning about the meaning of Matthew 12:35 (based on this translation): "A good man's speech reveals the rich treasures within him. An evil-hearted man is filled with venom, and his speech reveals it." Verse 36, shows us that "words" can be "good or evil treasure," and they come out of the way you speak or express yourself on any issue. “. . .The most important part of your life is actually the ability to use words. Words define your life; words define your values. Words define your personality. You are no better than your words; you are no greater than your words. The chara...

Here are 10 financial mistakes rich people never make: 1. Not Investing in Yourself America's first millionaire, Benjamin Franklin, was known for saying, "An investment in yourself pays the best interest." Often, people depend on their employers to buy them books, send them to seminars, or provide them with coaching. However, you must take your education into your own hands if you want to prosper. Invest in yourself. 2. Over-Entertainment Yesterday, I popped into a local Dave and Buster's to see the grand opening. It was crowded with hundreds of young adults (ages 21-35) who were wasting precious time and money. Most people spend 30-50 percent of their paychecks on entertainment, while they temporarily escape the realities of life. Instead, rich people use that time and money to fund their dreams.3. Buying on Credit Many people purchaseobjects they can't afford with money they don't have to impress people they don't like. This tragedy decimates many people...

A lady in a faded grey dress and her husband dressed in a home spun suit walked in timidly without an appointment into the Harvard University President's outer office. The secretary could tell in a moment that such backwoods country hicks had no business at Harvard and probably did not even deserve to be in Harvard. "We want to see the President" the man said softly. "He will be busy all day" the lady secretary snapped. "We will wait" the lady replied. For hours the secretary ignored them hoping that the couple would finally become discouraged and go away. They did not and the secretary grew frustrated and finally decided to disturb the president. "Maybe if you see them for a few minutes, they will leave" she said to him. The president. stern faced and with dignity strutted towards the couple. The lady told him "We had a son who attended Harvard for one year. He loved Harvard. He was happy here. But about a year ago he was accidentally k...

The new year is just around the corner and during these times we often begin thinking of ways we can adjust ourselves and our habits to grow and evolve in our lives. Whether you are the type to create resolutions, or you prefer to look back on the prior year and see how you can improve upon it, there are always things we can do to expand ourselves, and in many cases make our lives both easier and more fun. Here is a list of 16 things that I personally feel we should all put an end to in 2016: (and yes I chose 16 things to specifically match the year 2016) 1. Running From Your Problems You cannot run from something forever, and believe it or not, the longer you run from something the more difficult it becomes to face. Challenges arise for a reason, and as difficult as many of them can be to both face and overcome, doing so, gives you the opportunity to become a stronger and more capable version of yourself. There are also fewer things more liberating than the feeling of finally facing s...

There are different reasons people overthink. If your brain is bringing something or someone to your attention very often throughout your day, it’s for a good reason. Here are some examples of why we overthink and what to do about it: Chaotic Mind If you compare your mind to your workspace and your current thought to the project you’d like to work on, then it’s easy to understand why you need to keep it “clean and clear.” When your work desk is covered in old paperwork and junk, it’s difficult to focus on your current project. In order for you to have clear focus, you need to clear everything that you do not need from your desk so that you can be as productive as possible. Your mind works in the same way; when your mind is cluttered with a million thoughts, it’s very difficult to focus on one thing in particular. To-do lists, drama, and highly charged emotions are all examples of “mind clutter.” If you find that this is the case with you, you need to learn how to clear the mind of its ...

“Don’t cry when the sun is gone, because the tears won’t let you see the stars.” ― Violeta Parra It’s a dull, subdued sensation, when your heart is breaking, like the muffled sound of a distant gunshot. It doesn’t physically pierce your skin or tear you to pieces, but the sensation is physically present – the paralyzing discomfort of realizing that something you took for granted is leaving for good. Although it’s hard to accept at first, this is actually a good sign, having a broken heart. It means you have loved something, you have tried for something, and you have let life teach you. Life will attempt to break you down sometimes; nothing and no one can completely protect you from this reality. Remaining alone and hiding from the world won’t either, for endless, stagnant solitude will also break you with unhealthy nostalgia and yearning. You have to stand back up and put yourself out there again. Your heart is stronger than you realize. I’ve been there and I’ve seen heartbreak through...

. 1. Always remember that there is nobody on this earth that does not have problems. You are not the only one that has problems. . 2. Challenges is part of life. It is only a dead man that has no challenges. . 3. There is no problem that has no solution. There are solutions to the pains you are passing through. . 4. The way you picture yourself in your mind can affect your happiness. Picture yourself as a valuable and beautiful person. Avoid low self esteem and inferiority complex. . 5. Do not mind about what people say about you. Some people are sadists. They can just say somethings just to make you feel sad. . 6. Make friends with reasonable people who make you happy. Do not make friends with people who make jest of you or laugh at you over your challenges. . 7. At your leisure time, keep yourself busy with your favorite hobbies like sports, games, watching movies, surfing the internet, playing computer games, etc. . 8. Do not allow anyone to intimidate you with money and material th...

“You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with.” ― Jim Rohn Only Some People Lift You Higher As my mom used to say to me when I was a kid, “You are who you spend your time with.” It wasn’t until I was in my late-twenties that I fully grasped what she was trying to say to me. I learned the hard way that the people you surround yourself with either lift you higher or bring you down – they energize you or drain you – they support you or criticize you – they make you smile or make you cry. Call it a clan, call it a network, call it a tribe, or call it a family. Whatever you call it, whoever you are, you need one. You need a small group of people in your life that lift you higher. As Anaïs Nin so profoundly said, “Each friend represents a world in us, a world possibly not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born.” So right here, right now, make it a goal to spend more time with nice people who are smart, driven and likeminded. Re...

1. If you want your spouse to trust you be trustworthy. Be where you said you would be. 2. Do what you said you would do. Keep no secret. Tell nothing but the truth always. 3. Be completely honest and open with your spouse. Never give your spouse reason to doubt you. 4. Be a man or woman of his word. Trust is earned not demanded. 5. If you know that you did something wrong that hurt your husband or wife humble yourself and apologize. If your spouse genuinely apologized, forgive him or her. No marriage can survive without constant forgiveness and apology. 6. Listen to your spouse. Sometimes your spouse doesn't need answers or advice; they just need you to sit down next to them, hold their hand, look them in the eyes, and listen. 7. The people you spend time with have great influence on the quality of your marriage. Be vigilant! Take inventory of your friends. Not everyone around you is trying to build or bless your marriage. 8. It takes two people to make a quarrel but only one pers...

To melt by just looking in his eyes, To let your heart dance to the sound of his laugh, To hold his hand and never take for granted how it feels when he holds you with both, To take the chance of being wounded because you will not give him up freely, To have him consume your every dream, your every thought, your every waking moment, To be thankful for another night of falling asleep in his arms,and another day of waking up with him in your life, To get lost at the very thought of him, only to find your way back when he sneaks up from behind and kisses you, To let him know just how incomplete you would be without him, and how wonderful he is by just being who he is, To never let anything he accomplishes or achieves ever go unnoticed, To tell him you love him even more than you did the day before, To let your shoulder be his support when he has a bad day, To make sure you have food and beer ready for every game or race, then holler and cheer for his favorite team or driver because you lo...
