REMAIN OPEN TO KNOWLEDGE - RESTER OUVERT À LA CONNAISSANCE
When the student is ready, the teacher will appear. – Wise saying
No sane person will pour water into a glass full of water. There is nothing as frustrating as trying teach someone who thinks they know everything. It is quite unfortunate because others around them know that they do not know as much as they claim, yet they prevent themselves from getting the additional knowledge required to fulfill their purpose. There is always something knew to learn for those who are open to learn. The beautiful thing about such people is that they can learn from anything and anyone. There is nothing you can do to help someone who is set in their ways and do not want humble themselves and embrace knowledge that can bring the change they need to help propel them to the next level. If you want to make any significant progress or impact in life, you must assume the posture of a learner always. This way, you can always hear and understand issues beyond the way they are being presented, one piece of information can help you connect dots is the least expected ways. Most times, we come across some puzzle that we try to immediately figure out but to no avail, only for us to get the enlightenment we need from another thing we came across somewhere else at another instance. Never be too full that you cannot get the enlightenment you require to understand the next step you need to take in your journey. Have a great day!
Lorsque l'étudiant est prêt, l'enseignant apparaîtra. - Adage
Aucune personne sain d'esprit ne versera de l'eau dans un verre rempli d'eau. Il n'y a rien de plus frustrant que d'essayer d'enseigner quelqu'un qui pense tout savoir. C'est assez malheureux parce que les autres autour d'eux savent qu'ils ne savent pas tout ce qu'ils prétendent, mais ils s'empêchent d'acquérir les connaissances supplémentaires nécessaires pour atteindre leur but. Il y a toujours quelque chose à apprendre pour ceux qui sont ouverts à l'apprentissage. La belle chose à propos de ces gens est qu'ils peuvent apprendre de tout et de n'importe qui. Il n'y a rien que vous puissiez faire pour aider quelqu'un qui est mis dans ses voies et ne veut pas s'humilier et embrasser des connaissances qui peuvent apporter le changement dont il a besoin pour les propulser au niveau suivant. Si vous voulez faire des progrès significatifs ou avoir un impact dans la vie, vous devez toujours assumer la posture d'un apprenant. De cette façon, vous pouvez toujours entendre et comprendre les problèmes au-delà de la façon dont ils sont présentés, une seule information peut vous aider à relier les points. La plupart du temps, nous rencontrons des casse-tête que nous essayons de comprendre immédiatement mais en vain, et puis nous obtenons l'illumination dont nous avons besoin d'une autre chose que nous avons rencontrée ailleurs dans une autre instance. Ne soyez jamais trop plein que vous ne pouvez pas obtenir l'illumination dont vous avez besoin pour comprendre la prochaine étape que vous devez prendre dans votre voyage. Passez une bonne journée!

RIDE THE PAIN - CHEVAUCHER LA DOULEUR
I was visiting with a friend who was involved in a car accident some years ago. She and mother were recounting some things that happened during her extended stay in hospital. There was a point at which she was almost dependent on a particular pain killer. They recounted how one of the nurses was helping her get the drug illegally but there was another nurse who was quite close to them, who continually told her to ride the pain. It was the insistence of this nurse that saved her life. For many of us, we would prefer to avoid the pain of the process needed to arrive at our desired success. Since this is usually not possible, some then begin to look for ways to help numb the pain that is in the commitment, perseverance and rejection that accompanies the process. What happens most times when we try to go this route is that we become addicted and depend on things like relationships, entertainment or temporary systems that should help us through the process and miss the mark. Until you see these as temporary relief in the pursuit of your vision, you will either be derailed or you will quit. We have to have a few people around us who are honest enough to insist that we ride the pain. Riding the pain is a part of maturing the character that is required for you to handle success, never try to circumvent what is meant to build the muscles that you need to carry the weight of success. There is no point in arriving at your destination and you come crashing down because you could not handle life at the top. That crash is so destructive that we should do all in our power to avoid it. Decide to do your best to ride the pain so you can enjoy your life of impact. Have a great weekend!

FOCUS. ENERGY. MOVEMENT. - CONCENTRATION. ENERGIE. MOVEMENT.
What I have discovered, as I work with people, is that until someone has a vision, dream or something they are focusing on, they would lack the energy to make progress. No matter how you try to push or motivate someone, if they do not have an image of purpose, they will not move. I remember a girl who suddenly started exercising everyday some weeks before her wedding just to look good on her wedding day. Today, six years after her wedding, she is about twice her former size. It is dangerous to live without a purpose because we will go with whatever life dishes us and regret at the end of our lives. This is not the only reason we should identify what to live for, when we do not live for anything, we will help others live out their own purpose. This is not a bad thing since our dreams are connected to those of others, but when we are forced to live other people's dreams because we cannot identify and focus on our own, life becomes a frustration. We will just be doing the motions without any satisfaction. It is focus on a purpose that produces the energy for passion to succeed. I have been dealing with this subject a lot lately because of the lackadaisical attitude of many people that I come across. This is the reason why some people complain constantly about others or they criticise everything others do, they are looking for who to blame rather than look at their lives and see what they can do to make their lives more interesting and more satisfying. They become envious of people's success and this spills out as anger and bitterness against those who are succeeding with their lives. Until you have a clear picture of where you are going and what you want to accomplish with your life, you cannot be passionate about anything neither will you have success of any significant. Enjoy your day!
