There is no wrong path

Nothing is either good or bad in our lives , its the thinking that makes it so. It seems to be a wrong path simply because you are not managing it rightly. For esitance, if a person disapproves your idea, it doesn't mean the idea is wrong. The idea is right but you haven't figured out yet why its right. Keep the dream alive. Think about it everyday until you find satisfactory reasons as to why you must to do it. It doesn't matter whether other people believe it or criticize it. Aristotle said " There is only one way to avoid criticism:  do nothing , say nothing , and be nothing." The importance of climbing at the top of a mountain is for you to see the world not the world to see you. Its not about people believing you , its about you believing in yourself. We all go through things that aren't fair: diseases attack us, people disappoint us, friends betray us .  However, the disappointment, the loss , and the betrayals are simply a season . Its not the rest of our lives. Who you are today , right now, is not who you have to be tomorrow . The only thing that can prevent us from being productive and successful is 100% "negative self-talk." It starts from the inside of us. Just because one is going from failure to failure , losses to losses, doesn't mean he won't see the best of his days. It doesn't mean he won't win. Because people don't see the value in you , doesn't mean you don't have value. Yes, I understand sometimes there are things that happen in our lives and we feel like God is far from us. But we have to remember that whatever happens to us happens for our own good. A teacher was once a student. The boss was once an employee. The president was once a servant. You may not be going where you intended to be but you will end up where you needed to be. There is a supreme moment of destiny. "Mistakes hurt. Experience is the best teacher. But a collection of mistakes, is experience."  What you see as mistakes today , will be the lessons that will create a guide for your life tomorrow. Do you know that rich people lose more than the poor? A person who gets $100m today  had planned to get $500m. The one who gets $10m had planned to $50m. Who has made a bigger loss? Its about how we think and what we have taught ourselves to do for our own good that will make us successful human beings. There are many different roads in the world , but the destination is the same. The point is, if you become more clear about who you really are , you will rightly be more able to decide what is best for you.

The storm won't kill you

I was born in 1998 and I lost my father in 2000. I have seven biological brothers and two biological sisters, and am the second last born in the family. By the time my father died, the first born son was studying mechanical engineering and the second eldest brother was in senior six, and that was their end. Everything turned upside down. The next chapter of life was characterized by poverty, tears, grief, sorrow, and misery. One of my brothers attempted to make a suicide; He hang himself on a tree but unfortunately my mother saw him and made a very loud cry to him, in panic the rope slipped from the tree and he felt down, making the suicide unsuccessful. The first born ran mad. I remember him trying to eat a dog alive!  In that tearful moments, there are two prayers ( we are Catholics) that created a rock foundation on which the family is built on up to today. One was prayed by my mother and the second one prayed by my second eldest brother. My mother's prayer " Dear Mother Ma...

Life isn't fair, but its still good

"I went to KFC. 24 people went for the job, 23 were accepted, I was the only one rejected. And we went for police, five people full of them accepted, I was the only one rejected. I applied for Harvard ten times rejected" said by Jack ma, richest man in China. When you've exhausted all possibilities, remember this , you haven't . No matter how bad it is , it could always be worse. Be glad its not. Put your problems in proper perspective. The reason why we don't become who we want to be is because we do attach to who we've been. Haven't you ever hard people saying " but i have always been like this!" Most of us want the convenience of transformation without the inconvenience required for the transformation. Let go of the past so that you can create a better future. It doesn't mean what happened was right, it means your future happiness is more important than holding on to something you can't change. If you want to achieve something differen...

Authentic Life

By
  When Isaac Newton was in his early twenties, in 1665, a great plague hit London. To prevent the plague from spreading further, London city was locked down. Newton was studying at Trinity College, Cambridge and the school sent all it's students home. Over one hundred people died because of this epidemic.  Was Newton stressed during this quarantine? Perhaps not . It was during this time that Newton got still and concentrated more on his deeper understanding about scientific theories. He wrote papers that became the early calculus , discovered differential and integral calculus and formulated a theory of Universal gravitation .  Now, when the ladder is not Leaning on the right wall, each step we make get us to the wrong place faster.  The foundation , the origin of an authentic life , is knowing who we are. "Who am I , and what do I exactly want in this life?"   There is a uniqueness on every individual here on earth , which when discovered by the individual and ...
