Lesson 19: VISUALIZATION

Image
                                       VISUALIZATION This a powerful habit that anyone can acquire, the idea of seeing the end result before setting out to start the action. We know very well that often what we think, what we feel and what manifest is always a match every single time and the idea that things are always created twice is a fundamental idea that we can use to hack our thinking steering it to the right direction. By visualizing we materialize we make it real, it is the preview of the   end result of the next actions we want to take. Currently whatever you are doing or where you are is something that had already happened in your mind. You first form a vague image of what is it you want to do and unconsciously works toward that goal or situation. Notable inventions have always come from the mind first, someone imagines and makes a vivid picture of the soluti...

Lesson 18: THE VALUE OF MEDITATION

Image
                           THE VALUE OF MEDITATION For centuries man has  embraced the art of meditation, it is a forgotten habit by most of us though the  importance and value that we get from taking a few moments of our alone time to quiet our mind is of immense return to our productivity and well-being in general. Meditation helps to quiet the mind, daily the brain has numerous thoughts , ideas and imaginations passing through our mind, the level of internal mental chatter is so much great that it is impossible for a normal  person to stay focused for only 5 minutes without almost 10 thoughts crossing his mind. With the current level of stress and the forgotten art of solitude, we daily experience a fast paced day and environment not scheduling time in the day where we do nothing completely.  Can you remember the last time you just sat and did nothing at all, the last time you we...

Lesson 17: CHANGE IS INEVITABLE

Image
CHANGE IS INEVITABLE We often fail to notice the small changes that seem to take place in our daily lives, we are often too busy to take note of what might affect us in the near future. Sometime we see the changes happening all around us yet we still continue to deny that reality; we are too comfortable with our current situation and can be caught off-guard yet we knew it was coming. This is a paradigm that is deeply engraved in some of us that when the change happens we are caught off guard since we were too comfortable and not envisioning the future and not noting the small changes that were happening all around us. That is the classic story “Who moved my Cheese” portrays, we realize that change happens and we should always be prepared. Flexibility is key in adapting to the changes. Getting too comfortable in one place, relationship, organization or jobs might be risky if the small changes that happen on a daily basis are not monitored. When a change does occur try to...

Lesson 16. WHY HAVING A MENTOR IS ESSENTIAL

Image
WHY HAVING A MENTOR IS ESSENTIAL A mentor is someone who guides you and helps you in making certain decisions and also influences your life positively through the advice he gives out. He is like a compass in your life helping you out to make wise choices. I found out that having a mentor was essential the first time I had one If I needed a second opinion on stuff he would guide me effectively helping me not to make mistakes that he made during his time when he was the same state as I was.A mentor will help you greatly to avoid certain mistakes that he or she has experienced in his past, this why you get to learn a lot and be able to make sound decisions with a better perspective and avoiding the pitfall. I like to use analogies, Let’s take this example. You are a visitor to a new town or city, you still don’t have a vivid understanding of the city  so you get a local friend who has lived in that city his entire life to helping you get to know the city. It is poss...

Lesson 15: MONEY CAN BUY YOU HAPPINESS

Image
MONEY CAN BUY YOU HAPPINESS There is  common cliche’  that money can’t buy you happiness.  This is a misconception that mostly is placed out of context. We often here that many people who win the Lottery most of the time they spend their money and end up in depression and in  a far much worse state they were before they won the Lottery.  A recent study was done and it showed that actually money can buy you happiness it all matters on how the money is spent.The study found out that those who spend money on themselves usually end up not being in the happy state compared to those who used part of their money on others. In other words, happiness comes from the way we spend the money, the happy ones tend to spend money on others meaning we get more fulfillment when we give than when we spend it on ourselves. So let’s not conform to the general fallacy that Money cannot buy happiness, It is indeed true money can buy happiness but  the main point is h...
