PAST AND FUTURE

-
At times, I love to go back to some sweet and pleasant memories but the more I want to, the more I realize it's impossible to go back to the past. Some other times, I wish some other events didn't happen, again, it's impossible to turn back the hand of time. Someone said, "the past is not a good place to live but it is a good place to visit" because we can do nothing about it. The past is passed! What is needed is to do something today that will positively affect tomorrow not dwelling in the past. There is a point at which the past catches up with the future and that point is called karma. Somehow, most "smart" people would want to out smart nature but they will eventually end up becoming the unwise. We are too quick to forget that it's what we give to life that we get at the end of the day. When a farmer sows corn, at harvest, he wouldn't be expecting tomatoes. What goes round comes round that's why the earth is spherical. One way or the other, the past is connect to the future. The present is the best gift you could ever wish for because it is an opportunity to "keep writing pleasant things on your slates". Some people live in the euphoria of yesterday while others live in the unrealistic expectations of the future when we should all bend over backwards to live in the"NOW". We should reflect and learn from the past, hope and expect a better future, and live in the present. By Oladipo Ayoola Joel @ayoolajoel

1. Be open about your needs.   I believe that the first thing people need to do is identify what truly matters to them and communicate it. Don’t hide it and don’t expect others to guess what makes you feel balanced and fulfilled. Do you need to leave work at 5 p.m. so you can have dinner with your family? Do you need to step away at 12 p.m. to attend a yoga class? Whatever your sweet spot is you need to find it and be transparent about it. Employees need to have an open dialogue with their managers and managers need to understand what works and what is possible. Different jobs require different approaches, but everyone can benefit from having an open and honest conversation about what balance means. 2. Respect boundaries.   You cannot achieve your balance if you don’t respect the boundaries you have put in place.
