According to Brene Brown, to be authentic we must cultivate the courage to be imperfect and vulnerable. We have to believe that we are fundamentally worthy of love and acceptance just as we are.  He continued by saying '' i have learned that there is no better way to invite more grace, gratitude and joy into our lives than by mindfully practicing authenticity.  Authenticity is a core value needed by everyone. To be authentic, you must be yourself at all times. Be true to yourself and being true to oneself means that you have to be honest and trustworthy. You must be a person who lives by a code of morals and values. Try and be as true as ever. Be the original you. Do not copy someone else. Then again- think inwardly and outwardly,  When you practice authenticity it would help you with thinking deeply before making any decision. Authentic people are deep thinkers who generate thoughts from within and transfer it outward to add value to the lives of others. To be authenti...

What is altruism? It is the principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others. In other words, it is the reverse of egoism. Altruism is a value worth having. It builds bridges that connect and our world today is in dare need of it. Imagine every human watching out for the other without expecting anything in return or trumpeting the gesture to the whole world to hear? Altruism  leads to true friendship - and friendship enriches our lives, educates us, teaches us to trust, to care for one another and these stimulates our emotions.  Friendship provides us with people who endeavor to make our lives better by caring for us, celebrating with us and supporting us through difficult times. True friendship is guided by altruism and kindness towards others. Come to think of it, would you want to be friends or remain friends with people who are fake, not compassionate and selfish? No is the answer for me. Altruism for me is sacrifice, helping also peo...

Nothing great happens in this world without an ambitious person behind it. -Unknown. Many a time we think of ambition as a negative attribute rather than a positive one. Ask me and i'd tell you that ambitious people make things happen - without them, nothing great would ever happen. Ambition is much more positive than negative. I love the positive-ambitious people. These individuals know what they want and they passionately go for them. For those of us that personal growth is a big thing for, know it that ambition is a major drive for personal growth and development. No one can succeed without a healthy dose of ambition. Those who wish to be more,they do more, know more, read more, write more, give more and have more. These individuals have a purpose, they are fully aware of their purpose and they dream big and go further. Ambition drives them to grow and accomplish their goals. Ambition reflects a healthy self-esteem - you want to know how? i'd be glad to share my personal ...

For some years now, i use my core values to create my integrity report. I ask myself personal questions like everyday. I write down my questions and that includes my values, those things that i stand for. Writing down these and adhering to them forces me to think about how i am living out my core values in real life. What are your values, deciding what is most important in life? How would you define your values?  I have defined mine and they are very important to me, because these values shape my life and work. They determine my priorities, and , deep down, they are measures i use to tell if my life is turning out the way i want it to. Now, when, the things you do and the way you behave match your values, life is usually good - you are satisfied and content. But when these don't hard-up with your personal values, that's when things feel wrong, this can be a real source of unhappiness.  Life can be much easier when we acknowledge our values and when we make conscious effo...

You are not broken but your life needs fixing. You can't remain the same. soar higher.......!!!!!!!! BE MORE.

Many a time, we wake up in the morning so ready to conquer  the day and make the day count. But what happens at the end of the day? Some times we feel like we didn't achieve anything due to the fact that we can't place our hands at just one thing we were able to achieve. Yes, we had good intentions and started our day so determined to slay some tasks or goals but we lost focus along the way. As a young adult, you have a lot on your plate. Staying focused can be very hard at this stage in your life. A lot of things demanding your attention. Dear, amid all these noise, understanding your brain limitation and working around them can keep you focused and increase your productivity. Our brains are easily distracted, especially nowadays were our environment is filled with all manner of distraction. From social media, to '' up to no good friends'', toxic relationships and so on, all these make it so hard to focus. Also, we are familiar with the trend,''mult...

When Provoked Don't Get Angry, Get Detached to Stay Calm Jul 3, 2012 08:21 AM  By  Amber Moore   Image  REUTERS/Stringer Share Tweet Share E-mail When people provoke you, try distancing yourself from them and look at the provocation objectively to stay calm, says a new study. “The secret is to not get immersed in your own anger and, instead, have a more detached view,” said Dominik Mischkowski, lead author of the research and a graduate student in psychology at Ohio State University. Mischkowski suggests that you have to see the whole situation "as a fly on the wall would see it."  The research was based on two studies. In the first study, 95 participants were told that they were taking part in a study on how music affects problem solving abilities. These people were asked to listen to music while they solved anagrams. But, the twist was that the experiment was actually designed to provoke the participants. To achieve this, participants w...

Thoughts and purpose!! Thoughts allied fearlessly to purpose becomes creative force: he who knows this is ready to become  something higher and stronger than a mere bundle of wavering thoughts and fluctuating sensations; he who does this has become the conscious and intelligent wielder of his mental powers. - James Allen

Knowing when to assert your individuality and when to set it aside is an important social skill. We usually want to blend in with the colors, so to speak, when we’re not quite sure how to behave or don’t feel like making our presence known because we're not feeling the crowd, the moment, the person or bored. Unfortunately, it becomes very easy to go along with the group once you’re in ''okay'' mode. There is no need blending in. Originality is dope. Be the original you at all times, the world will adjust. Always remember you are unique and strive always to be better than the person you were yesterday. Not because you need to please anyone, but because you need to be a better version of yourself. Ways that could influence you to be you Always know your own ideas and preferences in mind.  Because if you don't, you tend to adopt others idea just to fit in. You want to be sure you can stick to your own story.Be true to what your beliefs. You don’t nece...

Man is the master of thoughts and molder of character, and the maker and shaper of condition, environment and destiny...!!!

As a man thinketh in his heart so is he. A man is literally what he thinks, because his character becomes the complete sum of all his thoughts. As the plant springs from, and can not be without the seed, so does every act of  a man springs from the hidden seeds of thoughts and can not have appeared without them. Act is the blossom of thought and joy and suffering are its fruits. -James Allen I agree with everything said by this author. What ever we give our strength, thoughts and time - we become. There is no two ways about it. When all you can say or think are negative - my dear, you are headed towards self- destruction. You can only attract what you give you time, energy and thoughts to. Next time, when you catch yourself tolling that negative path, stop, breath and redirect your path. Only you have the powers to change things,It is not magic, it is not transmitted or transferred. Change for you, then you can change the world. Stay focused.... Stay positive.

HAVE A BRILLIANT DAY..!!!

What a book? what a read? the book got me thinking about what a home should look like, about different bonds shared by mothers and daughters, about how little kindness could change everything, about how to think every situation through deeply before making a decision , about not being so quick to judge others. Every character in this book was so well developed, in the end i felt as though i knew these people. Oh goodness,the story was so well plotted how everything unfolded was perfect. The sad part is that the ending was so heartbreaking. Life happens, and we should learn how to take note of little things because they are what really matter. I strongly recommend this book and i hope you enjoy the journey.

Take one step at a time and climb. Focus on what's in front of you. deal with what is ahead when you get there....!!!

Tell God about all your struggles. he truly cares about every aspect of our lives, From the loneliness to the bills that are too large to pay. Bathe yourself with his timeless word.
