INSPIRATION<br />

One of the best<br />

ways to be happy,<br />

peaceful and<br />

contented is to<br />

make others<br />

happy and to show<br />

gratitude all the<br />

time. When you<br />

are happy your<br />

body triggers the<br />

production of<br />

endorphins.<br />

lives and family lives, and in anything we<br />

set to do.<br />

Our guilt and our obligations; we are<br />

living with two principles; we are afraid<br />

that we are not doing what society expects.<br />

If I do not go to church on Sunday, I feel<br />

guilty for not honoring an obligation for<br />

the society. It is up to you to design your<br />

life the way you want to live it without<br />

feeling intimidated. If is up to you to create<br />

your aaaaah moment.<br />

Manipulators in our lives; Remove<br />

the idea that there are imperfections in<br />

you. Decide that in my world, I will live<br />

a corruption free life, we will honor each<br />

other and I will create a stress-free life<br />

for myself. Learn how to say no without<br />

feeling guilty. Say no to your boss and<br />

do not worry about losing your job, you<br />

can actually say no by saying yes. If your<br />

boss insists on some task for example, you<br />

can explain that you will do it, but could<br />

you finish the work at hand first or do it<br />

tomorrow? By doing this, you are giving<br />

yourself power and taking it away from<br />

the other person. Thank your boss for the<br />

job and create value and purpose with an<br />

attitude of gratitude.<br />

Self esteem: This is defined by cultural<br />

backgrounds. For instance - women<br />

become properties. <strong>The</strong> consciousness<br />

has not changed. Some people regard<br />

women as a piece of property; demanding<br />

dowry is part of that. Is there equality in<br />

business? In social life? We have been<br />

deprived of so many things in our lives. In<br />

some cases we resign to our ‘fate’. “I am<br />

a poor person; I have nowhere to go. You<br />

cannot blame them for their hopelessness.<br />

We become victims of our belief system.<br />

Yet, you can only help people who want to<br />

be helped and not everyone is willing or<br />

able to change. With the help of a mentor<br />

you can. You can decide to be happy and<br />

to fulfill your personal desires. <strong>The</strong> real<br />

power is in the people, most people are<br />

not innovative. <strong>The</strong>y do not see what is<br />

around them. Make your life lively; dress<br />

up; clean up; show up online; show up on<br />

time, listen to some music. Everything<br />

is an effort; decide for a week, you won’t<br />

trash anything, if everyone does this, what<br />

a clean world this will be. Remember that<br />

by de cluttering, you are creating order<br />

instead of disorder and making your life a<br />

joyful experience.<br />

To finish, communication is an<br />

important aspect of our lives; to<br />

communicate effectively; be honest, be<br />

authentic; say it as it is, don’t be too critical,<br />

don’t take people for granted, respect the<br />

receiver’s viewpoint, listen and gauge.<br />

Good communicators often become good<br />

leaders. As a final point; always remember<br />

to put life into everything you do!<br />
