Goal: For This I am Pleased…
Who in their right mind can say that they are Pleased when challenges come their way? Very few persons. But challenges help us grow. It is our attitude to the challenges that help us survive a failing business, life events, careers, educational pursuits, natural disasters, tragedies, and more.
Recently, I shared the story of Nick Vujicic who was born without arms and legs, yet not only has he survived, he is now a worldwide successful motivational speaker.

If Things Go Wrong…
When Laziness Means Success…
People waste years trying not to waste hours. Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s.
People waste years trying not to waste hours, says author Michael Lewis.
Is being lazy a good thing? That’s what Michael Lewis said in this INC article why being lazy makes you successful. He postulated that being lazy is the key to Success. But is it for real? Lewis achieved much in life so I’d hardly say he was lazy.
However, what I’d say is that he focused on things that were in fact important, and did not spend time being busy… for busy sake.
Admit it…many of us are like that… especially the type A’s. If ever we find ourselves not doing anything we feel as guilty as ever. I have a colleague who broke her leg during a vcation trip and she found it like hell to be sitting in recovery…not being able to do the things she wanted to do.
So I encourage you the next time you find yourself being busy, it’s Prudent that you look around and ask the question, “is this adding value to my life…to my long term goals and dreams?”
If not, let it go. Refocus.
Cheers!

Passport: Your Key To Success…
with success. Life happens. Things change. It happens even while we are en route…in full pursuit
Passport… a thing that ensures admission to or the achievement of something
Years ago when I managed the HR portfolio for a region of a major pharmaceutical international company, we sent managers to different countries worldwide. Once while in mid-air the laws changed in one country while a traveling manager was en route on business. Naturally stressed, the manager was detained by officials until we were able to sort out the ‘new’, yet needed requirements.
So it is with success. Life happens. Things change. It happens even while we are en route…in full pursuit. But I am here to tell you that things will sort themselves out if you keep going. If you never give up in spite of the obstacles that you may encounter while pursuing your dreams, goals, and aspirations.
Today, keep going…don’t stop.
Cheers!

Life’s Nuances and Abstracts…
Sometimes life throws us curved balls. We have no choice but to catch it, run with it, and ride the waves until it passes. It’s what we do with it when it comes our way that counts.
Renowned Speaker Nick Vujicic, the limbless man, has inspired millions worldwide. He was born without arms and legs, was depressed early in life but found the strength to survive, thrive, and now uses his ‘gift’ to go on to do great things!
So when the Nuances and Abstracts of life hit us like a ton of bricks-no matter how subtly it rears its ugly head, let’s hold strong. Let us keep going because only then will we be able to get back up to achieve our dreams, goals, and aspirations.
Cheers!

Imposter Syndrome…
Fake it til you make it. That’s what we are told and it actually works. If you want to be successful, act like a success. Align yourself with like-minded people. Network with those that you want to be like and most of all believe in yourself.
But on the other hand, there are those of us who even when we are actually successful because of our hard work, still feel like a fake. An example is the Oscar award-winning actress Viola Davis who after capturing the award, told a news reporter that she felt like an imposter. It happens and is often very common among successful people. They work hard to achieve and only know how to work hard. Then eventually the hard work is recognized and they can hardly believe it. Indeed a sign of humility.
Below are some signs of the imposter syndrome that Parlays some people, and how CNN headline news shares to deal with it when it comes.
Symptoms
- Self Doubt
- Depression
- Isolation
- Despair
How to Manage
- Manage yourself
- Change Negative thoughts to positive
- Speak up
- Reestablish yourself – you have worked hard
So if you have attained success (whether large or small), and feel like an imposter, move past that feeling. You have earned it.
Cheers!

Haters Will Hate. Don’t Let it Stop You
The Color Yellow…
The color Yellow enhances vision, builds confidence
Beautiful, serene, inviting. The color yellow represents youth, fun, sunshine, optimism, and other happy feelings. On the other hand it also means jealousy, cowardice, and deceit.
The color Yellow activates memory, encourages communication, enhances vision, builds confidence, and stimulates the nervous system. Through its bright effect, the color yellow calls attention and when combined with black illuminates readability from distances. Hence its use on school buses, traffic signs, and more.
The color yellow tugs at the heart depicting welcome home to loved ones afar.
So today if you’re feeling blue as an entrepreneur, lack of growth at a career endeavor, of if you are at a transition point in your life, stand tall. Focus on the positive. Talk with a friend or coach. Believing for the best encourages us to achieve our goals, dreams, and aspirations. It’s that Automatic.
Cheers!
