Stand Up And Speak Up


If you want to be seen. .... Stand up
If you want to be heard... Speak up
If you want to be appreciated..... Shut up

If you have done incredible things or good things for people, let the people speak of your own achievements or good works other than yourself.  It stays in their memory for life.
Speak about issues that affect you and others. Do not sit down in silence or watch unconcerned and wait till things go wrong before you decide to speak up or act.

Or better still say to yourself....no,  that's not my problem. That's their problem. I can't be any part of that problem. I'm just going to sit and watch or mind my own business. If the problem is that for all the community or family to solve and you sit idle or act unconcerned without helping them out, that problem will come back and haunt you again and again. So speak up and help!

Do not speak evil of others or allow others to talk evil about others to you. Today it may seem fun to do something bad to others. Don't forget, tomorrow it will be your turn to face the same music. 
For that's how the rules of life works, which is, there is no action without consequences.
What you reap today, you shall sow tomorrow.

Do not hold back on helping others, when you have the means to. If you feel that for any other reason, you cannot help or support them, tell them the truth (I can't help you).
Do not give false hope to make them feel or hope you can help them, and disappoint them at the last minute.  It is a dishonourable thing to do.

Stand up and fight for things you believe in.
Things that are very important to you.
Do not sit idle and let others decide for you concerning your own life. Have your own opinion, not the opinion of others.
Do not be a coward to say No sometimes to certain things or some requests.
You will be on your way to living the life that you want.

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, ...

How Failure Breeds Great Achievers

I get asked by many people a lot of times... Why do you always like writing motivational stories and messages to inspire others. What inspires you, and what do you get from doing that  every morning anyway? My answer has always been simple. To prevent people  especially you from giving up in life when you face the least form of failure. My greatest wish is to provide hope, faith and reason for you not to give up in life. I would like you to think of me   as your symbol of Inspiration for each day. Most people, ironically, think  that people who always inspire, motivate and encourage other people don't have problems,  they think they have a cozy and smooth life, that's why they are able to encourage people. But believe me, that's not true. On the contrary, those kind of people like me, are the kinds of people facing all sorts of problems, challenges and difficulties in life. The trick here, however is, I have chosen to look at  my failures, challe...

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.
