SIMPLIFY

Simplicity is the order of mastery.
Making life simple is what mastery is all about, and heavens know how challenging that can be, especially nowadays where we are bombarded with so much information and influence. But the key to simplification is personal values. And the key to that is finding out your values in life, and then conducting yourself in accordance with those values. What you will usually find out or begin to see is that your values will be centred on what you are being (happy, generous, wise) and not so much on what you are doing.
But how does one find out their true values and start being and living by them? The first key to any form of mastery is studying and observing. First key principle to self-mastery is study and observation; this is also the key to Wisdom. Hold yourself up for scrutiny. Take a  good look at your present truths and assumptions. Are they serving you? Question your own assumptions and conclusions. If you find that your present truths are no longer suited to the person you are wanting to be, allow them to morph into something that best voice out your values and truest self. Base it upon your own intuition and not what many believe is true.
This is how you craft your own personal philosophy which is the major determining factor to how your life turns out. And this will outlay your conduct and simplify your life... Many are busy upholding values and conducts that no longer serve them well in the name of religion or traditions, which makes their lives complicated due to not allowing their new found truth and values to guide their journey.
The wonderful thing that you will begin to notice when you are on your path to finding your truth and simplifying your life is that, the more you find and allow it to be, the less you feel the need to push against anyone else's in order to justify the rightness of your values...

Self-mastery is about self-transformation and simplicity. Mastery is about simplifying things. So if life is complicated, it’s a sign that you have not yet mastered yourself.

THE TRUTH ABOUT POSITIVE THINKING

Positive thinking doesn’t work for most people because of one simple truth and that is – Thinking is a skill. And most people haven’t mastered The Art of Thinking. Just because you can inhale air in an out of your lungs doesn’t necessarily mean you know how to breath effectively, remember how as a  kid when the doctor instructed “breathe in” and you would actually make a whizzing sound when in haling because you wanted to indicated that they are breathing, because you clearly knew there was more to it.  So you see, it actually is a skill. I was inspired to write this article tone because of a post someone had forwarded to me. It said… “…Positive thinking is offered up in the U.S. as a cure for cancer, a path to untold riches, and a sure-fire way to engineer your own success. Indeed believing that success depends upon one’s attitude is far preferable to Americans than recognizing that their success is the outcome of the tilted scales of race, class, and gender. As Eh...

SEASONS OF LIFE

I am at the airport waiting to board a flight going to Mozambique and i had a sudden burst of inspiration.  I believe that for us to work and livean inspiring Life we ought to be in constant awareness of inspiring insight or information. and so as I am about to board an airplane, I want to share with you insights about the seasons. The insight I wish to share comes from Jim Rohn which is about the Four Seasons Of Life (he wrote a book on this subject), and here is the wisdom I got from him. He says: “Life and Business are like the changing seasons” , fairly obvious but also easily forgotten because of its simple nature. But its true, Life is like the changing seasons (the business cycle in economics or entrepreneurship as it is often referred to). After fall comes winter. After winter comes spring. And after spring comes summer. All with regularity and pray tell how often. Is this a reliable way to look a life and business? After night comes day. When the sun goes down a...

Generation eXcellence

I was reading some wonderful notes from Robin Sharma's Little Black Book of Stunning Success ( http://www.robinsharma.com/leadership-best ) and a thought crossed my mind: have we settled for mediocrity in our society?  Have we  allowed ourselves to tolerate mediocrity in our lives, because the truth is we interact with the aspects of the world which match our own standards. We see the world not as it is but as we are . How often do we offer less than our best to the quality of relationships with ourselves and things.? Are we allowing the quality of our lives be compromised due to what everybody else is doing? This is even evident  to how we  treat nature. The care with which we have for our natural environment is something of grave concern, and many defend this mediocre behaviour with "everybody else is doing it." and the worst one yet, "We are creating jobs for others"  Have we accepted me...
