ADVERSITY INTRODUCES A MAN TO HIMSELF

Have you ever waken up on the wrong side of the bed? Have you ever waken up wishing you can stay in the bed the whole day and you absolutely don’t know why? People would ask why but you also don’t know the answer.

How many times have you gone to bed just hoping you never wake up to face the treacherous waters of life?

How many times have you wished you where this inanimate creature that doesn't have to go through some of the down moments in life?

How many times have someone told you, “It’s going to be okay”, but it never is?

Life is a mystery. No matter how much of a genius you are, you can never have it all figured out. And this is not because you are not good enough, it’s because, it’s the mysteries of life that make you grow every day. Life is cyclic, sometimes you up and sometimes you are down.

Everyone is happy and healthy when everything is going on well in life. Just as one songwriter said, “Life is easy when you are up on that mountain”. Because when you are up there, the view is better, the air is better and fresher, as my 11^th grade teacher would say, “The higher it goes, the cooler it becomes”. That is where we all want to be. Nobody wants to be miserable or poor. No. We all want to be rich, comfortable. We want all the positive things going on for us.

But during those down moments, during those days when you are in the valley; that’s when your faith is tested, that’s where growth takes place. Someone said, “Adversity introduces a man to himself”. During those down moments, that’s when you undertake the journey of self-exploration, something Abraham Maslow would refer to as Self- Actualisation. Therefore, adversities, failure, miseries are put in a man’s life journey, not to punish him but to train him to grow. Problems will always be there, but part of the process of reconditioning your mind is to change how you look at a problem.

In conclusion, don’t judge your life because of what’s going on now. No. If you are going through some hard time, it has not come to stay, it has come to pass.

To your success in the journey of reconditioning your mind,

­

In 2008, the whole world went through one of the most influential economical global recessions of all time. Everybody felt the impact of this recession. Every student felt it because books where too expensive to buy especially if they are being imported. Every banker felt it because people even stopped banking their money, not because they did not want to, but because there was no money to bank and save. Banks even reduced the costs of most services just so they don’t lose clients. Every employer felt it because there was no money to even pay employees, products and services were being offered but not for so much money, but still, life had to go on. Employees felt like they are the most affected because most of the salaries were halved. For some unfortunately, they even lost their jobs in the long run.It was so economically influential that even a five year old could notice it because mum and dad stopped bringing snacks like before.The so called Kabovas (street vendors) felt it too because the man who used to tip them for a car space at the mall no longer did that.It was such an excruciating period recorded in human history.Thanks to all our local and international leaders, the economy started picking up about a year later.Even so, people today around the world are still living the consequences of that recession. It would be pretentious to say that things are really back to normal but also exaggerative to say that things haven’t changed, at least, for the better.But everyone, one way or another, has a scar that was left by the recession. You may not know it, but you too have the scar.In 2014, a number of financial experts predicted with precision that the world is going to experience another global recession That is quiet some terrifying news, especially that, the world has barely recovered from the previous one about half a decade ago.How much worse can it be?Just a  few days ago, Nepal was hit with one of the worst earthquakes ever recorded in the last three decades apart from the Japan earthquake.Nothing seems to work in our favour at the moment. But that doesn't mean we need to give up on life. The fact that we are expecting another global recession is not what is terrifying because the world expected it. It wasn't just expected to be here soon.Financial experts predicted 2015, but well, we are half way gone in 2015 and still waiting.The world now lives in fear of tsunamis, earthquakes, tornados, and economical global recessions. We all live in fear of something.Fear is a challenge not a roadblock to success. Once you allow fear to rule over you, then you will begin to live life in self pity. Accept fear but don’t allow it to incapacitate you.While you live in fear and in expectance of the global recession, and while you continue to heal from the previous global recession, don’t just fold your arms and wait for it, instead brace for it. Let it find you ready, because you are more than able. Become An Entrepreneur

RECONDITION YOUR MIND

What differentiates a rich man from a poor man, or a successful man to an unsuccessful man, or rather, what line bridges the gap between success and failure?How do others work for four years and get enough money to take care of a lifetime, while others work for forty years and can barely pay bills?How do others study for a shorter time but pass with brilliant results, while others are book worms, but still get meagre results?These are mind triggering questions that every students, every employee, every entrepreneur, has asked themselves before. But unfortunately, these questions seem like they are never answered; and it could be that you are asking the wrong questions, or asking the wrong people or rather, you are asking these questions, expecting an answer that you want, not an answer that you need. Apparently, the latter is what is common.The universe is like an academic examination; it gives you the answers and then asks you the questions later. For as long as you don’t match the right questions to the right answers, you will never have it all figured out, and then you play the “blame game” with the universe. Forgetting that, the universe has no ability to reason and think, but YOU DO.And for what it’s worth, this doesn’t make you inferior to those that have it all figured out. But what I want you to understand and embrace from hence forth is that you have the ability to RECONDITION YOUR MIND. Once you learn that, you will notice how easy it is to interact with the universe and come to a common understanding.
