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.

Your Competition

Just remember, your competition isn't other people Your competition is; Your procrastination to getting important things done Your ego, that makes you think you are above everyone else Your unhealthy eating habits and health choices The knowledge you neglect because you think you know it all or because you think others don't have an opinion on a matter because they are not intelligent The negative mindset and behaviour you're nurturing because because you think you are not worth something Your lack of Creativity. Failing to explore new ideas or try new things because you think you will fail or not succeed again. You're not in competition with anyone but yourself.

The  Inconvenient  Truth

We hate the truth so much today. We hate hearing about it and hate  it even more when it is coming from other people who we feel are not close to us. We are quick to swallow and lend our ears  to any lie that flatters us but find it hard, almost impossible to live with the truth because it may appear bitter to us. Meanwhile, it would have been much better for us and our lives to live knowing the truth and painfully taking the long path to do the right thing than to take a shortcut or a detour of many deadly pleasures just to do wrong. No matter how hard or  harsh, it may sound for you to hear the truth or receive it, if it is going to put your life in the right direction, please listen and listen good. Stay away from people who will hail you at every turn, people who find everything and anything you do to be nothing but good. Because none is perfect, we all have our good and bad sides. It is impossible for you to always have a good side all the time even if you fake i...

Change Your Words Change Your Life

Our brain while listening to words uses two separate areas to identify the mood and the real meaning of the words. Words are passed to the left temporal lobe of the brain for processing, and intonation is channelled to the right side of the brain, a region more stimulated by music. Do not speak negatively about yourself, not even as a joke. You know why?? Because your brain and body doesn't know the difference. Words have energy and they cast spells on your body. Change the way you speak to yourself, change the way you speak about your life. What you are not changing in your life with positivity, you are actually choosing it to remain the same. How do you change negative words?? *Speak to Yourself* It directly influences how you experience things in life. Our words play an important part in shaping our existence, so if your internal self-talk is negative, your external experiences will most likely be negative as well. *Start with a small shift* Replace just one word th...
