SOME OF THE THINGS YOU SHOULD STOP DOING TO YOURSELF

I’ve come to understand that life is valuable, and it’s even more valuable when you understand that each second spent, is a time that can never be replaced — so each second spent is either being invested or wasted.
Unfortunately, many people spend their time doing terrible things to themselves, to their minds and to their bodies.
This article will focus on the terrible things you should stop doing to your mind.
Your mind will always believe and act on what you feed it with; feed it with the right things and it’ll produce the right results, feed it with the wrong things and it’ll produce the wrong results.
These are 22 things you stop doing to yourself:
1. Stop trying to be someone else; it’s a waste of who you are.
2. Stop lying to yourself; deceiving yourself is the height of foolishness that will take you nowhere.
3. Stop spending time with people who won’t add value to your life. If you have one life to live, why waste it on people who don’t have purpose, or people whose vision are only shortsighted when you have a vision that’s way bigger than theirs.
4. Stop wasting time and resources on things that won’t add any value to your life.
5. Stop running away from your problems. Running won’t take that problem away; face that problem and tackle it head on.
6. Stop waiting for happiness to come to you; it wouldn’t. Be alive and be happy every single day, that’s how you find happiness.
7. Stop being idle and start being productive. Do something productive every day.
8. Stop believing that you aren’t good enough; remember that you are what you believe.
9. Stop entering the wrong relationships; your feelings, emotions and your life should only be shared with someone who’s worth it.
10. Stop being weak, lazy and unprepared. If you must be the best representation of yourself then you must be focused and give your all.
11. Stop competing with people; life isn’t a competition.
12. Stop complaining, stop wishing and stop regretting.
13. Stop being afraid of making mistakes. Mistakes only show that you are putting efforts. You should be worried when you aren’t making any mistake at all.
14. Stop judging others, stop envying and stop being jealous.
15. Stop holding grudges against people; you’d suffer it the most. Let your heart be free.
16. Stop wasting your life trying to please others.
17. Stop making the same mistakes. Learn from each experience.
18. Stop blaming others for your failures; you are absolutely responsible for every choice and decision you make.
19. Don’t forget to enjoy certain moments with friends, family and people that matter to you.
20. Stop holding on to the past and stop living in regrets. Forgive yourself of your past mistakes and move on.
21. Stop trying to make things perfect, stop overthinking, stop worrying and stop trying to control things that are above your reach.
22. Stop being ungrateful and start enjoying the gift called life.

Take care of yourself__"The first wealth is health".

By Strive Masiyiwa  A few weeks ago I went to the doctor. I will tell you what he said about my health at the end, but first read this: Twenty years ago, I arranged to meet a well-known British international businessman who invested a lot in Africa at the time. We agreed to meet for dinner at a leading hotel in London.  After a good meeting, we started to walk out of the restaurant when he suddenly collapsed in the lobby. There was total pandemonium as they rushed to get medical assistance. Being London, an ambulance arrived in minutes. I jumped in the back with him as paramedics wrestled to keep him alive. He had had a heart attack and had to have triple bypass heart surgery. Sadly he died a few weeks later. He hadn't been sick and his sudden death surprised everyone. And yet as I reflected on it, and later discussed it with a doctor friend who knew him, I realized he was very laid back about his health despite having a hectic business life. Even during our dinner...

Freedom: The One Thing Gaddafi Could Not Give — And the One Thing No Government Can Take Away

For years, the collapse of Libya under Muammar Gaddafi puzzled many observers across Africa and the world. How could a country with high living standards, generous state programs, and a strong economy turn so swiftly against a leader who appeared to have delivered materially for his people? This question is not just about Libya. It speaks to a deeper truth about governance, legitimacy, and the limits of developmental authoritarianism. It speaks to Africa’s political future. And it speaks directly to the crossroads at which Kenya now finds itself. --- The Libyan Paradox: Prosperity Without Liberty Before the 2011 uprising, Libya’s economic and social indicators were strikingly strong for the region. Gaddafi’s Libya boasted: Free education Free healthcare Subsidized housing Cheap fuel High employment An extensive welfare system These were not myths. The United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) of 2010 ranked Libya 53rd in the world and first in Africa. Even today, that ranking stands...
