THIS BUMPY ROAD CALLED LIFE. - CETTE ROUTE CAHOTEUSE QU'ON APPELE LA VIE.
Most of us start life with plans of what we are going to do with our lives, at least we imagine what an ideal life would look like. You do not have to travel far for you to realise that life rarely goes according to plans no matter how well thought out they are. We do not stop traveling to a particular destination because we encounter rough patches along the road. It is only those who have no real reason to make that journey that turn back when they hit such places. Anyone with a serious agenda would find ways to navigate the road no matter how bumpy it gets. The adventure of life and the success of life come from our ability to find ways to make progress in spite of how rough it gets. It will surprise you how innovative you can become when you decide not to quit. In fact, living life to the full and making an impact by helping others undertake their own journeys can only come from deliberately choosing not to avoid the rough patches of life. I love to walk, especially in the mornings. It easier to walk on a smooth surface but if you want to tone your muscles, it better to walk on a rough road. The best results in life come from uncomfortable circumstances that we deliberately choose not to avoid. If you want an easy passage through life, you will miss out on the adventure and on contributing much to human existence. For those who want to make a difference, they would always choose something outside their comfort zone. Success is not for the fainthearted, it is for those who make a deliberate choice to walk on the bumpy road of life, confront the obstacles, do what others are afraid of and thoroughly enjoy the adventure. Everyone has to make that choice, what will yours be? Have a wonderful day!

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!
