THE SIGNPOST TO SUCCESS

Let me begin by telling you a brief story. It’s about my friend. She is not my close friend though. I call her friend because that what she really was during those months I worked with Disneyland Resort Paris.  I will prefer to call her Cynthia, you know what I mean. So where are we? Cynthia is a woman that loves to talk. She loves this act with all her might, with all her soul and sure, with all her entire energy.

Mind asking me what Cynthia enjoys talking about?    HER HUSBAND!

This may sound funny to you. To me, I consider this a serious problem. This is not about individual differences; please I don’t want you to get me wrong. The first month I commenced duty, I tried to observe my environment as usual. I noticed whenever Cynthia came into the midst of a group of us or may two; I saw some of our colleagues finding  fast excuses to get away. The majority that flee were the men. It started becoming a concern for me. The truth is that Cynthia is very nice and comfortable to be with. I could not figure out why some of our colleagues never want to stand longer with her.  One day, I went closer. I listened attentively to what Cynthia’s contribution to any rising discussion will be. She would add few occasions that she or her husband did the same or visit the particular places. Then she would begin to narrate other personal issues that her husband did with or without her. This is not solely about what goes on between couples. Her narration was about topics that I personally thought should be kept private.  As the days went by, I stayed closer to Cynthia. I learnt enough that got me to understand the reason why it is COMPULSORY for me too to flee.

Each time I remembered Cynthia, I had the revelation that she is one of those people who do not value their lives. And today, it occurred to me to inform you how important you should keep those things and people that are dear to you as personal.

When I mentioned personal, I love to hear those around me respect their private lives. What you don’t value, you will have not respect for it. What you talk so much about with extreme carelessness and just about anywhere will not be a treasure to behold. The real truth is that Cynthia may think by talking about her husband, she is praising him or doing him well in whatsoever way. Life is so delicate to such extent that one has to apply wisdom in all aspect of our lives.

If you are like Cynthia who doesn’t know how to keep her mouth shut, or you are like her who

believes that you can rattle your words just anyhow, then it is high time you stopped.

Stop giving away your privacy to just about anyone! Stop it, I mean stop it! Value what you have and then you will see how the universe will work in your favour.  Respect what belongs to you. Stop discussing your spouse and whatever you do together while with your friends. If your children commit any atrocities or you may call it any  abomination, avoid broadcasting it all everywhere. Make your home a real home. It is not  with every dick and harry you must discuss your personal life.

This is the sure means that you are heading for successes in your life. It is what I tagged the signpost to success. Respect your values. It pays far better than a single error you will make when you expose your home to just anyone. Don’t forget one sole mistake may never be atoned for life! 

 

Cheers!

A GUN IN THE SPACE

 

Are you the type that usually sees your faults in other people’s angle? Are you still there blaming others for your failures?

Majority of the people in the entire world have lived with the belief that those around them are responsible for their failures. They have refused to check themselves and discover where they are wrong. What you failed to understand is accusing another people for putting you where you are right now means a sign of weakness.

If you are the type who cannot accept responsibilities for your wrongs, then I am here to let you know that you will never go far in your life if you keep on this way. Learning to take charge of your life is very important.

Tell me, for how long will you keep on blaming your loved ones, your friends and your colleagues for bringing you to the current position you are?

It is high time you woke up to the realization that you are the author of your life.  You are where you are right now as results of your thoughts and decisions. Stop blaming anyone when you commit an atrocity. Stand and owe up! 

Why not take out the day today to sit in a quiet spot and thoroughly look into the mirror of your life. You will definitely discover so much in you that you need to rectify.

 

Cheers!

WHICH DIRECTION DOES SET YOUR COMPASS?

                   

Knowing where you are supposed to go at the right time, and at the accurate moment is worth the tens of hundreds of miles you lose when you are lost in your tracks.

Have you realized that life becomes much easier when you know what direction your life should be going? What if you live your entire life to the end only for you to discover that you are a complete failure?

Let’s take a quick example at a ship that just left the harbour; it is guided by the compass.  You can never see it turning round and round in the middle of the sea as if it’s lost. No matter the days or months on the high water, the ship will surely reach its destination.

Another example will be about YOU this time; you have a car and you are new in a particular big city. Of course, you will need the use of either a GPS or the road map. Once you set out, you focus on the road while at the same time your eyes keep glancing at the GPS. If you have purchased a good GPS, there are chances that it will lead you to your destination. On the other hand, if your GPS is the faulty one, then you may end up driving round the city five times that day without knowing.

Are you getting where I am leading you to right now?

There is no time for waste anymore. Time counts. Every second that goes by matters. Every minute that ticks creates new lives and ideas. What are you waiting for? Where do you point the direction of your compass?

What you need right now, and at this point in your life is to know where ‘EXACTLY’ do you want the compass of your life to lead you.

Many years ahead from now, you will truly be grateful that you heed to my words.  It does not cost you anything. It is never too late unless you decide that it is late for you. All you have to do is to get on your feet, awaken your spirit and get down to action.

Start to change your mentality! Begin to see yourself beyond your current position.  Be ready to turn your compass in the RIGHT DIRECTION!

Cheers!

WHAT IF ……….. ?

Passion4word once again wishes you a WONDERFUL 2009!

I am sure you have that pressing thought in your mind, which is; how will this year be?

So my question for you is simple;

What if?

What if you have all that you have longed for since the past several years, coming to fulfilment in this Year 2009?

What if you have that longing ANSWER to that pounding question that have been disturbing you for decades?

What if every aspect of your life that has been ruled out for dynamic change now suddenly transforms to bring out the special YOU in the 2009?

What if YOU that everybody has been denounced and forgotten now turn to be that IMPORTANT YOU in the coming months in 2009?

What if your marital storms, your financial crises, your endless nightmares, your silent pains and of course your HIDDEN agonies all disappear, bringing in happiness, durable wealth, peaceful nights, cries of joy within the months in 2009?

Do you ask in your heart why all these questions?

Just as my question is simple so also will I openly inform you that no matter what, DO NOT GIVE UP!

Giving up is not for the brave. YOU are the one who started this year, and sure, you will celebrate throughout the coming months. How will that be? You must not give up. Keep on with the fight. If you have to work hard to get up there, DO IT!

If you have to sacrifice something to achieve that successes, MAKE IT (I don’t mean you should go ahead sacrificing the evil way, don’t get me wrong).

It may be just SIX months, or EIGHT months of undeniable efforts that will get you to your dreams. It can even be less than that. Thus do not fold your hands and be satisfied with that salary job. Do not keep on depending on that wealthy relative of yours who keeps making promises upon promises to assist you. Do not rely on your spouse financial earning to sustain the entire family. Do not wait on miracle or faith without work to get that which you want.

Believe me; you will not get far with that. You are created with countless wisdoms and creativities. Put them to work! YOU are a dynamic person. It is time you talked senses into your life.

Be ready to put in more of your effort than you had last year. 2008 is gone and forever. You have nothing to do with the past year even if you hold on to its memories. Simply look around you for people and those things of life that will move you forward throughout your journey in 2009. Begin to think right ahead of you. I suggest you forget all what you went through last year. Bring in newer focus on this New Year. I can tell you that you have the best of it coming to you. It’s all yours for grab. However, you have to maintain a RIGHT attitude.

Be honest with yourself; are you not fed up with your stagnant position? Does it not made you feel inferior within you to discover you are not growing? Are you not ashamed about your current financial position? Are you happy watching your neighbours or your friends moving on at the threshold of successes while you are still where you are? Are they created with heads better than yours? Do you want to STAY where you were last year without any CHANGE?

When I refer to change, I mean such that will occur in your life that the entire world and your generation to come will never forget! So how does that makes you feel?

As you move on in this blissful Year 2009, keep this question positively in your heart, in your mind, in your unconscious soul, and sure in your entire life;

 

 

WHAT IF……?

 

Cheers!
