It is in this whole process of meeting and solving problem that life has meaning. Problem  are the cutting edge that distinguishes between success and failure, problem call forth our courage and wisdom;indeed they create our courage and wisdom. It is only because of problem that wisdom we grow mentally and spiritually...... It is through the pain of confronting and resolving problems that we learn. (M. Scott Peck). Over time I have learned this meaningful lesson: The people closest to me determine my level of success or failure, the better they are, the better I am and if I want to go to the highest level, I can do it only with the help of the other people, we have to help each other higher (Seguns Ayansina) As I grow older, I pay less attention to what people say, I just watch what they do. (Andrew Carnegie) The ones I want around me are people who make things happen. These people discover resources in a place that were barren. They find prospects where you thought none e...

© Michaela Remmel Wind whistling, Snow glistening, We try not to, But we're all listening. Loud screams, Bad dreams, It's very far, But close it seems. Sad day, Lost our way, All we can do, Is simply pray. Innocence gone, Life no longer long, We may not know, But we're all doing wrong. Joy lost, The Holocaust, We look to see, Hearts covered in frost. Wars fought, Sins taught, Making mistakes, Hoping not to be caught. Not taking blame, Pushing for fame, As advanced as we are, We're still all untamed. Too much pride, Needing a guide, We will deny it, But behind lies we hide. Hurting others, Betraying brothers, Many forgetting, To appreciate mothers. Lies are fed, Filling heart and head, Through all of these years, Innocent blood has been shed. Children abandoned, Lonely and stranded, We're all wasting the life That we have been handed. Taking from the poor, We're loving no more, Fight to be free, End up starting a wa...

possibly more than any other single factor, your mindset determines your success. What you think is what you become. Internal dialogue--the ongoing conversation we all have with our mindset--is the driving force behind every success story, and also behind every failure. The difference between who you are and who you want to be stems from your mindset. Once you start to change your mindset, you will immediately start to change your behavior.  Here are seven mindsets that will radically improve your business and your life. 1. Self-trust mindset. To do anything great, you have to be able to trust yourself and believe in your capabilities. Success is not something that just happens but something you create. You have to have the confidence to banish any negative voices in your head. Don't give up on the things you believe in--and most important, don't give up on yourself. 2. Goal-setting mindset. Knowing what you want and willing yourself to re...

In order to create this healthy mindset, we have to make simple daily choices that turn into habits. Having a healthy mind leads to a healthy body. Accept yourself Low self-esteem, self-confidence and self-worth are dangerously common in today’s society. Feeling this way is completely understandable with the constant bombardment of social media inserting its idea of ‘beauty’ into our everyday lives. What is beautiful is not defined by physicality, but instead, by the qualities you possess as a person. Accepting yourself for who you are may seem hard and it is a step by step process.

      Tips for Creating Your Own Affirmations · Make them in the present tense, as though they are occurring right now. · Keep them positive (try to avoid using "no," "not," "never," "don't," "won't," etc.) · If you can identify the negative thoughts that you play over and over in your head, try to design an affirmation that is opposite of those thoughts. · Pay attention to how your mind and body react to certain affirmations. They will cue you in to which ones resonate the most with you at a particular time · If an affirmation seems to have lost its hold on you, create or look for a new one.
