When I attempted to gulp the sixth cup I was told that my body only needed three to four cups to kick start my urinary system. Finally after another forty five minutes I was ready for the scan and soon after the radiologist said, “You may go relieve yourself of excess toxic waste.” As a student familiar with human physiology I already was mentally editing his comment. The notion that urine is a toxic waste is common and it is inaccurate- urine is simply a substance that the body does not need at the time. The fact that *urine therapy has been around for thousands of years without records of side effects suggests that urine is far from toxic-besides it’s 95%water, 2.5% urea, 2.5% minerals, salts, hormones and enzymes, the minute traces of toxin that it contains are not abundant enough to be harmful to the body. In fact researchers detected over thirty critical nutrients in urine and concluded that drinking your own urine has a cleansing effect based on the principle that urine becomes more purified the more it is recycled- so the cleaner the blood is the cleaner the urine is and vice versa. Urine is said to have anti-bacterial, antifungal and anti-viral properties and suggested to be helpful in varying illnesses such as simple colds, tuberculosis, heart disease and major or minor skin problems. *Urine therapy – the use of your own urine internally or externally as a way to aid or sustain your health.
March 22 to 28 2015 THE STANDARD STYLE / INSPIRATION 5 Positioning yourself to Buy the Future (4) Cynthia Hakutangwi Should you Takudzwa Ishmael Moyo start playing catch up? Previous we looked at why one needs to stop comparing themselves. Comparing is the inward thought which when transformed into action in most cases expressed in the form of What went wrong? “Two people can be born under very similar circumstances go through similar experiences and yet arrive at different destinies. People sit in the same classroom and listen to the same teacher, use the same textbooks, do the same assignments, sometimes even get the same grades, but then as they grow into their future roles, they do not achieve the same levels of success in their individual pursuits. The same applies to corporate bodies, organisations and nations. Most of us have had the bitter-sweet reunion with an old neighbourhood or school acquaintance after about ten, fifteen or thirty years of separation and realized that although the two of you have a lot to talk about in the past, you have very little in common to share with your present lives. Sometimes you become aware rather painfully, that whilst you might have made a lot of meaningful progress with your life, your friend is still basically settled at the same place he was when you last parted company. complaining. One limit to positive thinking is ever complaining. Complaining gives up the power to solve things, it gives someone responsibility over your life. If a problem can be solved why complain about it then again if it cannot be solved why then do you have to Your conversation after a few nostalgic jokes and back slapping, lapses into an awkward silence. Your beginning was similar but your present has become very different. Sometimes it would not complain about it. All we need is to change the things we want to see differently and sometimes if we can’t, then change our attitude towards them. Almost everything is changeable. The world does not owe you anything, no one does. If you are not comfortable about something take a step towards changing it. No one will pose and listen to you and try to help; in the rare event that they do – it is certainly for their benefit not yours. When complaining, the majority of people do so to the wrong people; the ones without solutions to your problems. One goes to their friend to complain about their parent then to their parent to complain about their friend. What be your friend who is lagging behind but you become aware of your own personal underdevelopment. You realise that whilst your friend has made some impressive hop-step-jump, you are still warming up on the fringes of the tracks of life.” The above passage is an introductory narration of A Tale of Two Paradigms in the first chapter of the book Buy the Future by Dr Mensa Otabil which has been an inspiration the current series of articles. Reading this short narrative earlier this year made me realise just how desperate and hopeless one can feel when they realise how far they still need to go to redeem lost vision, opportunities and time. Sometimes life throws major curve balls at us that can fling us off track for years. There are many instances where individuals, families and organisations have failed to “get back on track” in pursuit of their vision. Sometimes the inner drive to rise up again and refocus is drained and there is no one available to jump start and switch the light back on for an entity to get back on the road. This “fizzled engine syndrome” is one of the reasons why some of the most potentially explosive individuals and organisations have stayed stagnant in park mode. The previous instalment in this series on Positioning Yourself to Buy the Future was a provocation on the clarity of vision for our individual lives and corporate entities. Sometimes we encounter circumstances that can dent our critical nerves and cause us to develop blurred vision. In the absence of a wholesome composition it then becomes very difficult for us to move forward meaningfully and tactfully. How do you redeem lost time? Lagging behind happens to the best time planners and is a way of life for the worst ones. However there are no secret formulas that will magically make things easier since time Give up complaining we need is to have the courage to face the friend or the parent and give them their side of the story instead of complicating things for no reason. The major drawback in complaining is it makes you lose sight of what you have in search of what you don’t have. Instead of making use of the available resources you then end up chasing other things thinking your life will be much better then. Instead use what you have to make a difference. As you complain about not having nice shoes think of someone out there without legs and before you complain about your job think of the millions sending CVs everyday without any response. No one ever solved a problem is something we cannot get back once it is gone. When we fall behind our to-do list or goals and it seems like we’ll never catch up it is easy to feel overwhelmed and even give up in despair. It can be domestic chores that we had set out to execute before getting sidetracked or business development plans that can come in collision with a family illness, sometimes it is even our own self-care that gets regularly pushed to the bottom of because something else more important comes up. This should not cause us to give up because there is always an opportunity for us to catch up and make the best of where we find ourselves. The first step requires us to take time to reflect on how we have lost the past time. When you have lost precious moments and years you ought to not only mourn and lament over your lost time but to determine to apply yourself more diligently to improve the remaining part. This means that you have to improve every talent, advantage, and opportunity, to your utmost, while time lasts. This requires the discipline to take reasonable, consistent strides towards your goals every day. Designing a robust action plan with timelines will also help you see what gets done when. You can consider using a project timeand-money calculator to see which tasks are eating up your time but not giving you any returns. Writing things down, whether at home or in your business to see which tasks are most beneficial will give you clarity and peace of mind.

Find solutions to problems; as you complain about load shedding someone out there is making money selling firewood and gas stove as well as gas. You can complain that roses have thorns or celebrate that thorns have roses hence instead of looking for something bad try and focus on the good that can come out of it.
