MENTAL STIMULATION - STIMULATION MENTALE
We all agree that if we change our thoughts we can change our world. This could be the most difficult task you will undertake in life but it would be worth your while. However, what you allow into your mental space is what determines the quality of your thought process. You have to be careful about your conversation topics and the type of information you open yourself to. You need to pay attention to the things you talk about and the people you interact with on a regular basis if you want to stimulate your mind and produce thoughts that will help you create and work on having a productive life. Many are always spending time recycling news items and pop culture. If most of your conversations do nothing to challenge you mentally, I suggest that you make a serious effort to change what your topics are and those around you who encourage you to have those conversations. What you vocalise you are most likely to actualise. When your conversations lead you to a point of doing a further research on the topic to improve your knowledge and help you make progress in your journey, then you are on the right track. Such conversations are very stimulating and they give you fresh vibes to expand your horizons. Challenging yourself mentally helps you conquer the limitations that have held others in cages and prevented them from flying. Your words frame your world, they say, do not waste precious moments of growth hanging out with wrong people, talking about others and prevent yourself from sharpening your mental axe so you can build the vision that you have the potentials accomplish. Enough said... Enjoy your day!

Nous sommes tous d'accord que si nous changeons nos pensées, nous pouvons changer notre monde. Cela pourrait être la tâche la plus difficile que vous entreprendrez dans la vie, mais cela en vaut la peine. Cependant, ce que vous permettez dans votre espace mental est ce qui détermine la qualité de votre processus de pensée. Vous devez faire attention à vos sujets de conversation et au type d'informations auxquelles vous vous ouvrez. Vous devez prêter attention aux sujets que vous discutez et aux personnes avec qui vous parlez régulièrement si vous voulez stimuler votre esprit et produire des pensées qui vous aideront à créer et à travailler pour avoir une vie productive. Beaucoup passent toujours du temps à recycler les nouvelles et la culture pop. Si la plupart de vos conversations ne vous secouent pas mentalement, je vous suggère de faire un effort sérieux pour changer vos sujets et ceux qui vous entourent et qui vous encouragent à participer aux telles conversations. Vous êtes plus susceptible d'actualiser ce que vous verbalisez. Lorsque vos conversations vous amènent à faire des recherches sur le sujet pour améliorer vos connaissances et vous aider à progresser dans votre parcours, vous êtes sur la bonne voie. De telles conversations sont très stimulantes et elles vous donnent des vibrations fraîches pour élargir vos horizons. Se secouer mentalement vous aide à vaincre les limites qui ont retenu les autres dans des cages et les a empêchés de voler. Vos mots encadrent votre monde, dit-on, ne gaspillez pas de précieux moments de croissance a traîner avec les personnes peu sérieux en parlant des autres et vous empêcher d'aiguiser votre hache mentale pour que vous puissiez construire la vision que vous avez le potentiel d'accomplir. Assez dit ... Profitez de votre journée!

MentorAfrica: REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE - REBELLE SANS CAUSE

REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE - REBELLE SANS CAUSE
The world is full of people who can identify problems but short on those who can proffer solutions or who actually want to be the solution. I had a conversation with a young man once and he thoroughly analysed some of the issues that were plaguing this country. At the end of his speech, I asked him a simple question "what can you do to be a part of the solution?" This got him thinking...the next time we had another conversation along those lines, he had possible areas that he could pursue in order to be a part of solution even if he could not completely address the situation. When someone constantly complains about a situation without any intention of doing something improve it, I consider that person a rebel without a cause. You might not be actively rebelling against the system but constantly criticizing and blaming the people or institutions is a form of rebellion. When you are not satisfied with the way things are going, stand up and do something about it by either by improving the present situation or creating an alternative solution. Have a cause, think of a project, have a plan of action, that is what a dissatisfied, progressive individual should do. Stop being a rebel without a cause!
Le monde est plein de gens qui peuvent identifier les problèmes mais à court de ceux qui peuvent proposer des solutions ou qui veulent réellement être la solution. J'ai eu une conversation avec un jeune homme une fois et il a analysé en profondeur certains des problèmes qui troublent ce pays. À la fin de son discours, je lui ai posé une question simple: 'que pouvez-vous faire pour faire partie de la solution? Cela l'a fait réfléchir ... la prochaine fois que nous avons eu une autre conversation dans ce sens, il avait des domaines possibles qu'il pouvait poursuivre pour faire partie de la solution même s'il ne pouvait pas complètement régler la situation. Quand quelqu'un se plaint constamment d'une situation sans aucune intention de faire quelque chose pour l'améliorer, je considère cette personne comme une rebelle sans cause. Vous ne pouvez pas vous rebeller activement contre le système, mais critiquer et blâmer constamment les gens ou les institutions est une forme de rébellion. Lorsque vous n'êtes pas satisfait de la façon dont les choses se passent, tenez-vous debout et faites quelque chose à ce sujet en améliorant la situation actuelle ou en créant une solution alternative. Avoir une cause, penser à un projet, avoir un plan d'action, voilà ce qu'un individu insatisfait et progressiste devrait faire. Arrête d'être un rebelle sans cause!

STOP AUDITIONING! - ARRETEZ D'AUDITIONNER!
I recently saw a movie where a guy was going from one audition to another trying to get a music contract and he met a girl in the process who was also looking for a way to get into the movie industry. They both tried very hard but nothing significant was forthcoming and it was at a very point that the girl told the guy to stop auditioning and start something himself. These were very talented people who put their lives on hold doing menial jobs around the entertainment industry just to get roles and fulfil their dreams. This is the situation with a lot of us, we are talented and hardworking but the opportunities a few and far between, that is if we ever even get them. Many youths find themselves going in circles until they eventually arrive at old age with nothing but their dreams. If we ever intend to make our story count, we have to stop auditioning for roles that are tailored by society and others. When opportunities do not open for you in the traditional way, passion for your dreams should help you create opportunities. Many give up and fit into the moulds that life creates for them and finish life wishing that they achieved their dreams. Do not allow your environment and other limitations put you on lock down, if your do not lose your steam, you will be able to see ways of creating opportunities where no one else is aware of them. In the same Africa where everything seems to be stagnated or retrogressing, those with a passion for her growth and development are finding ways to make things work. Until you see that the achievement of your dream is not tied to a geographical location or the approval of certain society or group of individuals, you will waste your talent and purpose auditioning when you could be making history. Enjoy your day!
