THERE IS NEVER AN END. - IL N'EXISTE JAMAIS UNE FIN.
There is always something new to add to that makes what you consider an end to become a beginning. If you don't understand this principle, you will always sell yourself short. Living with intention and making a difference with your life means you always have to see life as a perpetual continuum. No success is an end in itself. Any dream worth pursuing has to be larger than you. Selfish people pursue things, it's difficult to have lasting impact if we cannot see beyond ourselves and our life time. Live in such a way that your contributions will be irreplaceable but your influence will help those coming behind to supersede what you achieved because of the contributions you made. Have a great weekend!
Il y a toujours quelque chose de nouveau à ajouter qui fait de ce que vous considérez comme une fin un commencement. Si vous ne comprenez pas ce principe, vous vous vendrez toujours à court. Vivre
avec l'intention et faire une différence dans votre vie signifie que
vous devez toujours voir la vie comme un continuum perpétuel. Aucun succès n'est une fin en soi. Tout rêve qui mérite d'être poursuivi doit être plus grand que vous. Les
gens égoïstes poursuivent des choses, il est difficile d'avoir un
impact durable si nous ne pouvons pas voir au-delà de nous-mêmes et de
notre temps de vie. Vivez de telle sorte que vos
contributions soient irremplaçables, mais votre influence aidera ceux
qui viendront à remplacer ce que vous avez réalisé grâce aux
contributions que vous avez faites. Passe un bon weekend! Wednesday, 25 July 2018
LIFE'S WAITING! - LA VIE ATTEND !
Life does not give you what you desire or want, you take what you want from life. Stop waiting for what is waiting for you. (La vie ne vous donne pas ce que vous désirez ou ce que vous voulez, il faut en prendre ce que vous voulez. Arrêtez vous d'attendre ce qui vous attendre.)

LEARN TO SAY "NO" TO YOURSELF - APPRENEZ A VOUS VOUS DITE "NON"
On Monday morning I woke up without any desire to go for my normal morning walk and this had been going on for about one week. This day I decided to pull every ounce of strength in my body to go for that walk. I have been using some excuses which were genuine for anyone who is looking for something to hold onto. There is no shortage of excuses for anyone who is looking for how to avoid doing what they know is necessary for them to accomplish anything they have in mind. What differentiates those who succeed from those who fail is the ability to say "no" to yourself. No matter what others do to motivate you, if you do not make the decision to refuse to look for excuses when you are tempted to do so, you can never achieve your best. Smart people do no belong to a particular race or live in a particular country or continent. They are simply those who have decided to say "no" by looking for easy, better and faster ways to tackle normal human challenges. They say that the same hot water that cooks eggs also cook potatoes. What some are seeing as obstacles is what others are sing to fuel their creativity. Innovation and creativity are not in anyone's genes, they are available to those who decide against all odds to find new way of doing old things. You have to be able to look at a challenge beyond its limitations in order for you to think of how to overcome them. Learn to say "no" to the excuses that come to your mind immediately you are faced with the roadblock of a challenge. Do not deny its existence but do not let its presence stop you from thinking about ways to conquer it. Success is the ability to say "no" to excuses and ''yes" to possibilities. Enjoy a great day!

THE FLIP SIDE - LE REVERS DE LA MÉDAILLE
There is a lot going these on days in the motivational space, it is an endless flow of motivational speeches, cliches and conferences. This is supposed to be a really commendable trend and for the most part it is so. However, I have noticed that we have more of those who have head knowledge rather than experiential knowledge about this subject matter and for me, that is quite a challenge. We have many who have read books and attended conferences who do not practice what they have learnt in order to improve their lives by living with intention. What happens with these people is that they find it difficult to take corrections that can help them make a difference because they believe that they already have what it takes. Others use the knowledge to project an imaginary life for themselves which is quite pathetic in my opinion. Some of us need to reevaluate what we do with the knowledge and information we acquire. If you do not put knowledge into proper use, it can become a stumbling block to progress and success. Do not just write and post motivation, live it, improve your life and make a difference with your life. Motivation should help you and those around you go further, faster. It is not a trophy that should be displayed on your shelves or on your social media feeds. Enjoy a great week!
