YOU ARE NOT WATER. OR ARE YOU? - VOUS N'ETES PAS DE L'EAU. OU BIEN L'ETES-VOUS?
Water seeks the lowest level, the path of least resistance. Unfortunately, most people are like water, they look for the easy way out. The painful thing is that we have much more than we realize but we are too either easily contented or too easily frustrated. We miss out on so much that life has to offer. Everyone is waiting for everyone to do what everyone could do if they allowed themselves look beyond the horizon of limitations. It is amazing what we could do with the everyday human and natural resources we have around us if we were not constantly looking for alternatives or hoping that someone else would come up with an answer for us to enjoy. Many inventions have been delayed or completely thwarted because people sort alternatives too quickly. Unnecessary relocations have taken place and talents wasted because people were either too mentally lazy or too impatient to see the process of innovation through. They opted for alternatives before they could discover the breakthrough invention. Alternatives are the worst enemies of progress. Those who have done great things decided that there were no other alternatives and the universe opened up to them opportunities that we all enjoy today. Whenever you come across an obstacle, for those who have decided to break boundaries, ask yourself what you would do if there were no alternatives to your present situation and resources. Resourcefulness has always been the answer to every human need. #thinkdifferent and have a lovely day.

UNTIL YOU BOW.. - JUSQU'À CE QUE VOUS INCLINEZ VOTRE TÊTE ..
"You cannot understand what happened to me." "You do not know where I come from." You have no idea what these people have done to me."
Everyone has a story that can make them bow to circumstances, people and situations that can control their lives forever. They have accepted these and become victims not because of them but because of how they have decided to let themselves be affected by external forces. It is a painful experience just to see how people allow their lives to be dictated by what they could confront and overcome to become better and more productive people. Everyone who has succeeded in life was also confronted by life but they chose not to bow to whatever life threw at them. The difference between the the victor and the victim is the resolve never to bow under pressure. How do you see yourself? Many deny it but they actually see themselves as victims of their circumstances, victims of life. However, until you bow to anything, you cannot be controlled by it. You alone can decide whether you are a victim or you are in control. Until you do that, you will continue to to be overcome by things that you have power to overcome. Do have a great week!
"Vous ne pouvez pas comprendre ce qui m'est arrivé." "Vous ne savez pas d'où je viens." Vous
n'avez aucune idée de ce que ces personnes m'ont fait."
Tout le monde a
une histoire qui peut les amener à se plier aux circonstances, aux
personnes et aux situations qui peuvent contrôler leur vie pour
toujours. Ils les ont acceptées et sont devenues des victimes non à
cause d'eux, mais à cause de la manière dont ils
ont décidé de se laisser influencer par des forces extérieures. C’est
une expérience douloureuse de voir comment les gens laissent ce qu’ils pourraient affronter et surmonter pour devenir
des personnes meilleures et plus productives, dictent leur vie. Tous ceux qui ont réussi étaient également
confrontés par la vie, mais ils ont choisi de ne pas s’incliner devant ce
que la vie leur jetait. La différence entre le vainqueur et la victime
réside dans la résolution de ne jamais s’incliner sous la pression.
Comment vous voyez-vous vous-même? Beaucoup le nient, mais ils se voient
victimes
de leur situation, victimes de la vie. Cependant, jusqu'à ce que vous ne vous inclinez pas devant quoi que ce soit, rien ne peut jamais vous contrôller.
Vous seul pouvez décider si vous êtes une victime ou si vous êtes en
situation de contrôle. Jusqu'à ce que vous prenniez cette décision, les choses que tu as le pouvoir de surmonter continueront à vous vaincre. Passez une bonne semaine!

DON'T FOCUS ON THE BARS - NE PAS SE CONCENTRER SUR LES BARREAUX
I didn't watch the Prison Break series but I watched Papillon the story of the escape of one of the most notorious criminals from one of the world's most secure prisons, Alcatraz. The single-mindedness of an escapee prisoner is worth looking at even if the crime is heinous. They do not focus at all on the security system as an impediment to their ambition, they only see it as an obstacle to be overcome. They do not concentrate on what the system has prevented other escapees from doing or what it can prevent them from doing. They are more than a hundred percent laser-focused on how to beat the system. Many people are so focused on all that can stop them from moving forward that they are stuck in life unable to dream or do anything to accomplish much. All they see are racial, cultural, religious, gender, historical, geographical or other bars that are making it difficult or impossible for them to make a headway in life. They forget that what you give attention to grows like weed and strangulates every plan you refuse to nurture. Anyone that has achieved anything praiseworthy has had to make a decision to ignore the power of their limitations. If you continue to stare at the bars, they will become so magnified that they will suck life out of you. See them as objects that will sharpen your imagination and bring out the best in you. One attempt is usually not enough, if you fail, try, try try again. There is always a way of escape if you look hard enough. Do have a wonderful day!
