You Are As A Result Of Your Surrounding.

Do you know you are who you are because of the people you surround yourself with? If people around you are full of negative vibes, the energy gets to you and before you know it you are one of them. 

Choose wisely who you hang out with as they can either make or break you. The choice is yours.

Friends, partners, work colleagues, neighbors and family members play important roles in our daily lives. We interact with these set of people every day and their actions and vibes does reflect on how we live our lives.  

There is an old proverb among the Yoruba clan that says "If a leaf wrapped a soap long enough it becomes interwoven into the soap". 

Don't be part of somebody else's life, be in control of who you are and define your person.

Surround yourself with the same set of people you are on the same mission with. A leopard doesn't roll with a mouse.

Not too late to re-evaluate and re-assess your immediate circle. I did and I'm  happier than I was.

My Journey – My Sacrifices.

My Journey – My Sacrifices. Every time you embark on bringing a desire to reality, a journey lifecycle is born and for this journey path to end as you wish, it is paramount and inevitable to make sacrifices along the line! People of faith, either as Christians, Muslims or traditionalists would understand and agree that the practice of sacrifices to God and gods is a necessity. And all these sacrifices can come up in various ways in our daily path which includes but not limited to the following: Anger:  This enemy of progress is not in any form in your way to make things easy but to complicate your journey.  Anger is a normal human emotion and it’s healthy, it’s only a problem when you as human allow the anger to control you rather than you in control.

It’s not easy but it’s ...

The Difference - The Respect and the Individuality.

The Difference - The Respect and the Individuality. The moment you are in assumption that another person should understand you and agree with whatever you say or think then there is bound to be issues - either instantly or at a later date. For us as humans to do better, it is necessary to be challenged if not we are built to be at standstill in our comfort zone without any aspiration to step out and embrace change.
