The braver you get in a life constructed out of the box the greater the target you are

However, this is not the only reason why the target is greater on you, everything you offer will either be scrutinised, or it will be of honest help to who uses it, reads it (if you’re a writer), the target audience and even to the audience that is just not aligned at all to your message, vision, product or you. This can either come and haunt you or it can either come to bless you. The truth is we’re all trying (or at least most) to end up having blessed outcomes, but even if the intention is there, it doesn’t always end up that way, and so the braver risk a lot living out of people-pleasing mode and most work more in purpose-driven mode.

Money is a great servant but a bad master – Lord Francis Bacon. The laws of money

Law number 1 – Everything is moving, nothing rests. Are you moving forward or backwards? As Bob Proctor puts it, “grow or die”, “create or disintegrate”, “rich or poor”.

Law number 2 – Karmic law, sow or reap, cause and effect, action and reaction. Thoughts, feelings, and actions that you express in life are the seeds that you sow that conditions, circumstances and things that come into your life is the harvest you reap of the seeds that you sow.

A life of no expectations

Living a life of expectations automatically comes with disappointment as a side effect, just like an overdose of anything. Living on a high then processing the high and quick wins especially without sitting down, discussions, processing it within the mind and seeing if the plan can be bettered, made advance, more full proof, perhaps what a plan A, B or C looks like, but the key is, NOT GETTING ATTACHED TO THE OUTCOME, i.e., to what is planned but allowed for surprises.

Rather be alive than money being dead

So, if successful people are always moving, this means money is always moving. You know what, really wealthy people say having a house doesn’t make you money. For real, so, recently I’ve been working on my money mindset a lot, … yes, like a lot… and this is what’s coming up over and over again…

Asking powerful questions

Asking powerful questions take just as much art as answering a powerful question, but that also depends on your inner game, i.e., how confident are you, are sure of yourself, intuitively how do you feel about answering the question, why is it being asked, and by who. Wouldn’t you agree, if you don’t like someone, and you’re stuck with having to talk to them, you’d either ask closed questions, rather light questions, have things be short and sweet?

Relationship resilience – How COVID has tested your relationships

You know, this isn’t something that is out there, but with 2020 I definitely knew of several people who had marriage on the cards, and I feel that the news hasn’t really put this out in the forefront. I don’t know, over the weekend this topic came across my mind, and I was like, “Gosh, I really would like to know the statistics around this, challenges, etc.” I know so many people have said, “We have never been in each other’s space, like for this long, and with the risks, we have never felt the lows that we have felt like this year ever.”

Change the meaning of your belief – Thinking for yourself– First principles thinking

First principles thinking is a form of thinking that allows the idea to become whole from breaking down the composition of the requirements so that each requirement can be seen as whole and true to form, something much bigger that is ultimately the full product of all these little whole and true components making it a whole, true and beautiful product. First principles thinking can be applied to almost anything that a person is creating, music, writing (me writing this), a product, a dish… you name it, and for Elon Musk… yes, you already know.

Less than 60 seconds

It took less than 60 seconds for someone to take their phone and start recording, it took 60 seconds for people to realise what was happening to George Flloyd in public, Georg Fllody lost consciousness for 1 minute and 20 seconds, and the entire scene, which has been argued took either 7 or 8 minutes and 46 seconds. It has been said, “Bottom line is, it makes no difference; the time it took, it was long enough to kill him, and it was long enough to execute him.”

Why does pain hurt?

It’s alright to play the A-game, but if you don’t have strong whys, you get beaten around like the wind battering a fragile tree. – T. Dench Patel, 22 February 2021, 15:38

Fix your issues with your ex-partner/ex-wife/ex-husband especially if you share kids with them

Merry the action up with words, and so on a date ask and don’t care what he or she thinks, it’s a waste of time having fun with someone you are just accommodating because you care how they feel more than what you feel. – T. Dench Patel, 18 February 2020, 19:54
