Your Determination Determines your Destiny

What is your dream life? What kind of destiny you want to create for yourself? At one point, we have a clue what it could be. However, it keeps changing with the time. We tend to have another dream or goals just because the earlier one seems impossible to achieve. Why we keep changing goals in our Life? We decide something. We work on it enthusiastically. Then we encounter challenges and our passion starts diminishing. Soon we think we are not capable enough and we quit. We take up another goal and the same follows. Actually, when we take any decision, we are very sure about its success but nature always has plans to test our determination. Are you the only one who dreams big? Do you think that you are one of few who dream big? No. Most of the world dares to dream to become millionaire. There are many who want to become famous in the world. Many dreams big dreams in their life. However, most of them fail. Why? Actually, after a little effort, it seems tough or impossible with the time....

5 Positive Ways to Overcome Betrayal in Life and Business

Betrayal is the breaking or violation of a presumptive contract, trust, or confidence that produces moral and psychological conflict within a relationship amongst individuals, between organizations or between individuals and organizations. Often betrayal is the act of supporting a rival group, or it is a complete break from previously decided upon or presumed norms by one party from the others.   These are the five ways to overcome betrayal in life and business; 1. Confront your betrayer Everyone has a particular point of view. What seems like a clear betrayal to one person might be seen as a skewed perspective to another. That’s why it's incredibly important to confront the other person involved. How does the individual perceive his or her true intentions?  Give the person a chance to explain. It’s not worth keeping frustration balled up inside if there's a chance the “betrayal” might be a misunderstanding that got out of hand. Holding on to...

ISSUES NEEDED TO FIGHT ABOUT BEFORE GETTING MARRIED

Fights can break a relationship. But there's an obverse to this statement as well - if you fight fair, arguments can strengthen a relationship and iron out differences. In other words, all disagreements between partners aren't bad - they bring festering issues in a relationship out in the open and provide both partners with an opportunity to reveal their innermost feelings to each other. Counselors say that if you are planning to get hitched, the more you fight about certain things before the nuptials, the better will be your understanding of each other's perspectives. Just remember to pick your battles wisely. 1. Social Media Behavior If you do not like the fact that your partner is prone to plastering his/her social media timelines with updates on your relationship, sort the issue out. Your partner may justify his/her propensity for baring all on social media, but do not shy away from expressing your reservations. Similarly, if your partner objects to you stalking y...

PAY IT FORWARD DAY

Image
Every day we find ourselves presented with opportunities to pass forward some good that has been done in our lives. Whether this is paying for the purchase of the people in the queue behind us in the mall, dropping some naira in the collection jar of a homeless person, or just complimenting someone on their choice of wardrobe, it only takes a moment and a consideration of kindness to brighten someone’s day. Pay it Forward Day is a reminder that we should be engaging in this behavior every day, and that one day someone may pay it forward to us when we most desperately need it. 'Pay It Forward Day' takes place all over the world. The aim of the day is to make a difference by doing a kind act. The hope is that this will have a ripple effect, with kindness being felt across the globe. We often think that small acts don’t make much of a difference, but they do! A small act can make a massive difference to another person. Plus, all of these small acts build up, having a huge effect. ...

The World Intellectual Property Day: IP & SMEs

Image
Monday 26th April, 2021 is “World Intellectual Property Day”. Since the year 2000, World IP Day has celebrated IP rights and their role in innovation and creativity, as well as commemorating the day on which the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO Convention) came into force in 1970. This year, World Intellectual Property Day focuses on “IP & SMEs: Taking your ideas to market”. This theme for 2021 highlights how intellectual property helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow and to thrive. Making up around 90% of the world’s businesses, SMEs are essential contributors to job creation and economic development. With IP rights, an idea can be turned into a business opportunity that generates value, creates employment, and enriches the market, offering consumers a broader choice of new and better products and services. SMEs can use their IP rights as powerful tools to build stronger, more competitive, and resilient businesses and to create jobs. Studies show th...

Increasing the visibility of your goals

Everyone knows they need clearly-defined goals; What they don’t realize is that   the power of goals isn’t in  creating   them; it’s in  reviewing  them.  When most people create goals, they write them down, stow them away, and promptly forget about them.   They let the urgency of day-to-day operations distract them from dynamic growth   and, before they know it, six motivation-less months have passed. Your long-term goals (North Star Objectives, as we call them at Mind maven) should be so visible they’re consistently top-of-mind. If they’re not, they won’t be completed; it’s as simple as that. Here are two ways to increase the mind share of your goals: 1. Create a morning routine Begin every day by reviewing your North Star Objectives. There’s no “right” way to do this. You might meditate on them, write them down, read them aloud, or envision them as already complete; as long as you feel empowered and motivated by the end, you’re starting your da...

RELATIONSHIP MYTHS

Relationships within the family and outside family are subject to constant debates as being an abstract and indefinable aspect of human life; they remain very much confused and uncertain. In fact, human relationships are very much subjective. The depth, meaning, happiness etc., differ from person to person. Following the exact path of a successful relationship in one person's life may not be equally beneficial or another one. Yet there are certain commonly accepted modes of being in relationships. There are several types of relationships that exist among human beings. Family relationships, romantic relationships, parental relationships, extramarital relationships etc., are few among them. Being in a relationship is an added responsibility and obligation as the success of any relationship is the collective result of the attitudes, behavioral patterns and personal preferences of two or more people included in the relationship. There are few relationship myths; usually people believ...

HABIT YOU MUST STOP DOING IF YOU WANT TO ACHIEVE YOUR DREAM GOAL

1.   Stop procrastinating Procrastination is a no-brainer. But the habit is, again, not so much in the actual non-action than the thinking around the actions you need to take to getting to where you want to be. Procrastination has different sources, but the big ones are around thinking small and so creating glass ceilings that continue to keep you small. You look at others achieving their dreams, get into comparison thinking, think of all the reasons you’re at a disadvantage in that comparison, think of all the things you need first to get going, focus on the things that are missing, and all the reasons you can’t move forward unless such and such is in place. Remove yourself from all that mind chatter. Visualize yourself stepping out of your own head and body and as a bigger version of you looking back at yourself and all that thinking and thinking. Extend compassion and forgiveness to that you who has been keeping herself small. Tell her you see (or hear) the words in her head she...

Why Do Christians Celebrate Easter?

  Back in the 1880’s Nietzsche declared that “God is dead,” and before the turn of the Twentieth Century, Shaw and Wells chimed in saying the 20th Century would mark the end of the world’s “religious phase.” Yet, today a church now meets in Russia’s Museum of Religion and Atheism-the former center of atheism. Nearly half of the United States’ population attend Worship on a regular basis while revival is sweeping through Latin America and Christianity grows behind China’s iron curtain. Nietzsche, Shaw and Wells have long since decayed in their graves, and God continues to live!  That’s the message of Easter. He is risen. He is risen, indeed! Muhammad died, and was buried. His faithful followers take pilgrimages to visit his remains, the same is true of Buddha and other religious leaders. But it is not true of Jesus. You cannot visit His remains, you can only visit His empty grave, because He isn’t there. He Arose! That’s why we celebrate Easter! Jesus Christ is alive and He lov...

HOW STUDENTS MOTIVATE THEMSELVES TO STUDY HARD

  These are the way students motivate themselves to study hard. They are as follow; 1.Think about your own life plan We will have many things to do in our lives, so we must set life goals for ourselves, plan for ourselves the way to go in the future, and we will be more motivated to learn after the goals are clear. 2.Think about any ideals you want to achieve There are definitely many things in life that we want to do, ideals that we want to achieve, and ideals that we don’t particularly want to achieve. In order to achieve it, we need to study hard. 3. Set achievable goals Don’t set yourself some goals that you will never reach. That will only make yourself more blind and unable to start. You can set yourself some short-term and easy-to-achieve goals so that you will be more motivated to work hard. 4. Quit mobile phones and boring socializing Mobile phones have basically dominated the lives of most people, and boring social interactions are becoming more and more pervasive in our ...

5 PRINCIPLES OF GOOD PARENTING

 These are the 5 principle of good parenting. They are as follow; 1.   You cannot be too loving:  "It is simply not possible to spoil a child with love," Steinberg writes. "What we often think of as the product of spoiling a child is never the result of showing a child too much love. It is usually the consequence of giving a child things in place of  love. 2.   2. Be involved in your child's life:  "Being an involved parent takes time and is hard work, and it often means rethinking and rearranging your priorities. It frequently means sacrificing what you want to do for what your child needs to do. Be there mentally as well as physically." 3.  Adapt your parenting to fit your child:  Keep pace with your child's development. Your child is growing up. Consider how age is affecting the child's behavior. 4.  Establish and set rules:  "If you don't manage your child's behavior when he is young, he will have a hard time learning how to man...

How to Discover What You’re Passionate About

  A common theme in most writing on goal setting is the need to follow your passions.  Do the things that make you want to get up early in the morning.  There’s only one thing missing:  What if you don’t have any passions?. I’m sure everyone on this planet has interests.  But that’s not the same thing.  Enjoying playing video games isn’t the same as spending thousands of hours designing your own.  Your passion has to be something you would work exceptionally hard for. So what do you do, if there is nothing you feel that engaged about? How to Find Your Passions The better approach to finding your passions is actually fairly simple:     Try a lot of different things     See what you enjoy The biggest obstacle to overcome is a narrow vision of what you can do.  If I wasn’t passionately interested in anything, I’d try to cast a wide net to look at dozens of different activities.  Staying safe and familiar is the reas...
