A Masterpiece
"Make Every Day Your Masterpiece" (Coach Wooden)

 🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑🔑

I came across this wonderful quote yesterday.
And this is such a great quote, I think.
So true! Life is made out of time for each of us our time on earth is limited.
So every second, every minute, every day that we waste, we waste a bit of our life.

Today I was talking to my nephew almost 14 years old now.
I talked to him about making every day special.
I hope he got some inspiration from my small talk around this quote.

I think most of us want to lead a life of inspiration.
And so many times we manage to be in a certain level of flow
where creative thoughts and actions come to us easily.
However for each of us, there are times where inspiration runs a bit low.
These are the times, we need books, and quotes,
These are the times, we can climb on the shoulders of (other) giants
to reach tall and high.

Yesterday, I just did that: I googled the most beautiful inspirational quotes.
I find the above one and it helped me to get some inspiration in order to make
my today a bit more special than my yesterday.

Thanks to Hans Vans

Giving it a trial

-

Human nature has it way of trying to defend itself, to stand on a safer side. That where our inferiority complex sets in. I'm not all that good, yeah I admit. I learnt the lesson of being a better me through the different people I have encountered and I  have began to right my wrongs.  2018 was a great year because I made myself more vulnerable. Lesson: Dont be scared of giving everything a trial; love, hatred, business, exercise, singing, praying, reaching out and the likes. You will be surprised how great you can do. The fact remains that life continues, will you still go with the status quo?or set out a new leaf, it's high time we changed the modus vivendi and try out on new things. Things that set you at pace, different factors that keeps you focus, why not begin to set achievable goals, and not just a penned down paper goals or mare muttering. I once told myself goals written down help to set the process in motion. Goals ain't just achieved by setting ...

ARE HUMANS BUILT TO BE HAPPY?

Are Humans Built to Be Happy? These days, the concept of happiness seems ever-present on our minds. We reflect on the things that give us joy and how to incorporate more of it into our lives. We talk about how to deal with mental disorders and depression. We battle isolation, criticism, and negativity on a regular basis. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 4 percent of the world’s population suffers from depression. Global economic losses amount to over $1 trillion a year due to decreased productivity. When people become fatigued or stressed, they find it hard to resolve problems at work and in the home. If we’re so obsessed with happiness, why are we so unhappy? Our Obsession with Happiness Ironically, our happy-oriented culture could be the source of our unhappiness. In one study, three groups of participants were asked to solve a set of problems. One group was led to the “happy room”, which was filled with books on happiness...

THE POWER OF "WILL" According to  dictionary.com , “will” has many definitions. It is used to imply the future, “I will go to the store.” It is also defined as: to wish, desire or like as in “go where you will.” The definition, however, that I’m most intrigued by is this notion: The faculty of conscious and especially of deliberate action; the power of control the mind has over its own actions: the freedom of the will. The power of choosing one’s own actions: to have a strong or a weak will. The act or process of using or asserting one’s choice; volition: My hands are obedient to my will. How do you get will and what is it made of? Will is a muscle that we need to nurture and develop. Here are four ways to become more aware of your own will and how to make it strong and well defined. 1. Self-Confidence A direct correlation with will is the belief that what you think or do matters. Self-confidence is primarily developed from two areas in life. The first...

5 REASONS YOU DIDN'T GET THE JOB

5 REASONS YOU DIDN'T GET THE JOB  With the unemployment rate still very high in the Nigeria, you may find yourself in the position of applying, interviewing, and still remaining jobless. You may have thought it was a sure thing; you may have left the office laughing and joking with the interviewer. So why was someone else hired and you weren't? These five reasons may shed some light on the situation. 1. You're overqualified It's not just a cliche--you really can be overqualified for a position. It's especially true in a tight economy. A candidate that is more qualified would require a higher salary and benefits package for a competitive offer and for long-term retention. If someone else interviewed who fit the qualifications but didn't overly exceed them, it might be in the company's best interest to hire him and save the cash. 2. You don't know the right people You may be great on paper, and you may interview really well--but if ...
