Be The Best Version of Yourself


Are you always the kind of person who expects people to encourage you before you do something great by yourself?

Many of us today are very sensitive to whatever people say to us. If people say something negative to us, we usually tend to overthink them and finally get to accept it's true because we feel inferior and powerless even in ourselves. Most times, when we start something great, be it a business, a project or a decision to live a positive life,  people with small minds often very close to us usually will be the first people to tell us....
Oh, this won't work, stop it before you embarrass yourself.... or where did you get the confidence to believe you can do or achieve something this big..?? I'm telling you, this is not going to work. How many people have you seen do this here and succeed??
Don't try to overdo yourself, stop thinking of yourself a genuis, stop thinking of these big ideas and plans... you don't have the balls to make something like this happen. Stop making a fool of yourself. I love you too much to tell you this, stop thinking this big dreams, none of this will work for you. Just stop it!!!
I'm very sure like me, you have had a lot of people tell you negative things like these and the shocking part is, these people are often very close to you like your best friend, family members, people you love and respect. And so it sinks in your head and mind fast like a poison and makes you believe that yeah, they are right,  maybe I can't do this, I have got no experience to try on something big like this. I should forget about this once and for all.

Can I be honest with you??? So here's the thing, maybe nobody is going to tell you this, but not everybody close to you is your friend, and likewise not everyone who criticises you harshly is your enemy.
Understand this universal principle of human behaviour and you will live the best version of your life ever.  Live your life according to your own rules and choices. Live your good life on your own terms and learn from your own mistakes and failures. You gain a lot of experience and wisdom to teach others by understanding how your own life works.
Many of us had big dreams, goals and aspirations we wanted to achieve, but we stopped because we made other people tell us it won't work and we believed it. Now, all we living is a life of regrets and wishing for more time and chances.
Here's the  bad news, they are not going to come to you and me again. They are gone forever. Never to return.
Better still, most of us are still dreaming big right now, we still see these visions and dreams we want to achieve, but we are afraid to act on them or start working on them, because we are afraid of what people are going to say or afraid of what others might think.
Let me tell you this, here and now, you have your own self to blame if you let others opinions define you or stop you from achieving your dreams.
Don't be a coward this year, 2020. Dare to dream bodly and work fearlessly on them. You may fail a few more times but that's ok get up and try again. Try, try try try until you succeed. They say cowards die many times before their actual death. Why?? Because they are always afraid to try.
Invest well in good friends and good people with positive energy and optimism, stick by family members and friends who believe in your dreams and will invest in you.
The ones who will  criticise you constructively but will also be patient enough to drive you and your dreams back on track.
I hope these words speak to somebody.
I repeat, be the best version of yourself.

Everything Is Temporary

Corona Virus has proved that everything around us is so temporary. Things that our lives revolved around...work, gym, malls, movies and other social activities have all gone for a toss. These were things which used to occupy our time and attention virtually everyday, so much that we neglected what was most important to us in the first place. We are learning to live without them now, as our only option these days, is to stay indoors to keep ourselves safe. It is teaching us all  one thing,  that in the end, our home and families really matter. They are our point of safety in difficult times like these. So should this crisis come to an end, which will be very soon,   do know where your priorities lie henceforth. It is not in your work, or your insatiable ambitions. It is with your family.

Looking for Mr. Right And Mrs. Right

Any man who  tolerates all your nonsense as a woman and still finds you  perfect in his own eyes is your Mr. Right Likewise, any woman who tolerates all your stupidity as a man, and yet is able to submit under your authority as a man and love you is the Mrs. Right. No man or woman will check out all your boxes of being perfect or not a perfect match. Understand this one truth!!!! Here's a little revelation for us all to understand; there can be no decent woman or man just for only you. There are millions of decent people out there, just that they may not be that stunning model of a woman you're looking for or the man with six packs with a full beard. The moment you think of yourself too important to be in a different league than any other person just because you are wearing some designer dresses and suits and so you start rejecting suitors who you think are beneath your overrated standards, remember quickly that we all have our flaws. To help you reflect on this better, ...

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...
