OPPORTUNITY OR CHALLENGE? - OPPORTUNITE OU DEFI
So long as we are in this world we will come into situations
that demand a hard choice. Difficult choices are not peculiar to only a group
of people; even those who have an easy life from a societal point of view, have
had to make tough choices to get to where they are. The ability to go through
times like that are predicated upon our preparation. The amount of knowledge
and experiences you have in life will help you make a choice that everyone has
to make regularly in life, is this an opportunity or a challenge? Is this something
I should pursue or I should let go? Many
opportunities are wrapped in challenges but there are challenges that can
derail our whole process if we do not recognise them early and turn away. The ability
to recognise a real opportunity and an unnecessary challenge is very important
as we progress in our journey because this is how we choose what battles to fight
in order to progress and the ones to ignore if we intend to reach the finish
line. Enjoy your day!

MentorAfrica: HAPPINESS AND PASSION - BONHEUR ET PASSION

HAPPINESS AND PASSION - BONHEUR ET PASSION
“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.” – Fabienne Fredrickson
“If you want to live a happy life, tie it to a goal, not to people or things.” –facebook.com/be.positive.enjoy.life
We live in a world where almost everything in life is
measured by our bank account but it is also true that those with the fattest bank
accounts are not usually the happiest. Many are waiting until they have enough
money before they pursue their dream and they end up living a miserable life
doing something they do not love. Until we pay attention to what we are
passionate about, life is not really exciting; we might have some superficial
happiness but we will never feel fulfilled. We live in times when “THINGS” have
become the object of living for most and depression will pounce on those who do
not understand that happiness and fulfillment come from being passionate about a
goal and being a solution to someone else. When this is our understanding about
life, everyday becomes a fresh opportunity to serve and the more you serve, the
more exciting life becomes. Service does not always require money but service
that engenders money and also breeds happiness because it opens up more opportunities
for service. Do not wait any longer, look for how you can use your passion to
help another and start now, that would be your first step to true happiness. Enjoy
your day!
"Les choses dont vous êtes passionné ne sont pas aléatoires, ils sont votre vocation.» - Fabienne Fredrickson
"Si vous voulez vivre une vie heureuse, l'attacher à un but, pas aux personnes ou de choses." -facebook.com/be.positive.enjoy.life
Nous vivons dans un monde où presque tout dans la vie est mesurée par notre compte bancaire, mais c'est aussi vrai que ceux qui ont les plus gros comptes bancaires ne sont généralement pas les plus heureux. Beaucoup attendent jusqu'à ce qu'ils aient assez d'argent avant qu'ils poursuivent leur rêve et ils finissent par vivre une vie misérable faisant quelque chose qu'ils n'aiment pas. Jusqu'à ce que nous prêtons attention à ce que nous sommes passionnés, la vie n'est pas vraiment excitant; nous pourrions avoir un peu de bonheur superficiel, mais nous ne sentirons jamais accompli. Nous vivons à une époque où les «CHOSES» sont devenus l'objet de la vie pour la plupart et la dépression va bondir sur ceux qui ne comprennent pas que le bonheur et l'accomplissement proviennent en étant passionné par un but et en étant une solution à quelqu'un d'autre. Lorsque cela est notre compréhension de la vie, tous les jours deviennent une nouvelle occasion de servir et plus vous rendez service, la vie devient plus excitant. Le service ne s'agit pas toujours de l'argent, mais le service qui engendre l'argent produit aussi le bonheur parce qu'elle ouvre plus de possibilités pour le service. N'attendez plus longtemps, trouver comment vous pouvez utiliser votre passion pour aider les autres et commencer dès maintenant, ce serait le premier pas vers le vrai bonheur. Profitez de votre journée!

MentorAfrica: POWER OF THE PAST - LE POUVOIR DU PASSE

POWER OF THE PAST - LE POUVOIR DU PASSE
The past is where you learned the lesson. The future is
where you apply the lesson. DON’T GIVE UP IN THE MIDDLE. @ Positivity Toolbox
Human memory, they say, is very short but it is amazing how
people hold on to the past and let it prevent them from accomplishing much in
life. It is easy for people to understand that they cannot drive while looking
permanently at the rear view mirror or walk forward while trying to look
backwards constantly but when it comes to applying this same principle to living,
they find it difficult to understand. We cannot continue to hold on to
prejudices stemming from a troubled past in our societies and expect to come to
our full potential. The past should furnish us with lessons to accomplish our
dreams not excuses that will stop us from achieving our vision. Enjoy your day!
Le passé est où vous avez appris la leçon. L'avenir est là que vous appliquez la leçon. NE QUITTEZ PAS AU MILIEU. @ Positivity Toolbox
La mémoire humaine, dit-on, est très court mais il est incroyable de voir comment les gens tiennent au passé et comment ils se laissent empêcher de accomplir beaucoup dans la vie en raison du passé. Il est facile pour les gens de comprendre qu'ils ne peuvent pas conduire tout en regardant en permanence au rétroviseur ou de marcher vers l'avant tout en essayant de regarder en arrière en permanence, mais quand il s'agit d'appliquer ce même principe à la vie, ils le trouvent difficile à comprendre. Nous ne pouvons pas continuer à s'accrocher aux préjugés découlant d'un passé trouble dans nos sociétés et nous attendons d'arriver à notre plein potentiel. Le passé doit nous fournir des leçons pour accomplir nos rêves pas des excuses qui nous empêcher d'atteindre notre vision. Profitez de votre journée!
