How being present is fundamental to becoming a woman or a man?

It takes continuous and small moments of being present and ensuring the environment is healthy for growth which means as much as one would need to pay their school fees, pay for their clothes, their necessities; material wealth to help with their growth it requires just as much being present because children appreciate the time one spends with them, they connect better that way, they keep those golden moments in their memory, because they are not aware of the real world and how money is involved in it to the extent that we adults are aware of.

The power of perseverance

To give you this comparison to something more powerful at work is an example of the journey of a small tree to becoming the size that it can grow to. It can only but do with what is available to it on its journey to growth and strive on the hell-over hot days with what it’s got even in the moment it is presented with heat, drought, rain, flood and the same, it can die under the hands of a really good farmer or it could flourish from just a seed in some deserted area where no one really goes. What matters in this whole scenario? It tries its best to survive day in and day out with what it can access and with what comes its way, the rest is up to the universe.

Everywhere but nowhere

Travellers will also resonate from this article, remember living out of your bag? Remember that feeling? Me, a travelling suitcase, I was living from that for say 1 year, but you, you could have been living from your backpack, maybe some really lucky people will live off a briefcase. :b, I don’t know them though. That experience was an interesting place to be, to look at two worlds, one from the world of having just the moment in your hands and in one moment you can feel like you have everything, living from moment to moment felt like I was rich to live what I was living, but the truth is, the law of attraction really does exist. If you don’t know how to have fun with the universe, you can be living moment to moment from a place of lack and negativity too

Give and take – Every single second we do this as we breathe – What don’t we realise?

The most important point to make here is that we need plants to take in carbon dioxide (CO2) so that we can get oxygen in return (O). So, all living things on earth are not here by chance. The fundamental thought of just understanding the breath and how everything around us actually works with a bit of mindfulness now just made sense, i.e., we cannot exist without something else and something else cannot exist without us – T.

It’s the law of the universe, it’s the order of the universe, and so if I was to ask you what happens if you take too much and give nothing back, the balance flips everything off. Giving and taking is an essential part of our lives subconsciously, and breathing is not something we do consciously. I mean, have you ever heard of Grant Adam, he wrote the book Give and Take: Why helping others drives our success. I read about Grant Adam in the New York times; an article published about how he works, and the philosophy he uses behind one’s success. Wait, one sec, let me see if I can find it….

The spirit of success

So, I have decided to tackle this topic because at some point or even at many moments in our lives we all have copied someone somewhere, I mean the most copying begins when we are young, after all, copying is the beginning of character definition. As we get older, copying can work in terms of strategy, getting results even, but to be someone else or to do something that someone else is doing and to hope we’d get the very same results can be that we are not following what is really showing up or coming up most of the time in our hearts, spirit and intuition. I have to be honest, if someone is always looking around and stops focusing on their own results to then focus on the results of others there is much self-improvement required.

Self-made, which one is more likely to last? Ripping someone off vs settling for your worth?

You know, today, I was telling my dad at lunch that to earn a million and to land up with a million still calling oneself a millionaire are two very different things. Why? A millionaire who has struggled their way to make their first million and sustained it had to master much within themselves and even possibly stretch their physical, mental, emotional, spiritual self and then one can be a millionaire without knowing how to manage people, answer people, be reckless and unstable. See the difference? Experience rightfully earns a person their place in this world through continuous growth by even putting theoretical learnings into practice. Growth and investment in the self all the time. A millionaire who can master that level in the game to reach the next level is more prepared than one who has no idea about where and when to start. T.

Born entrepreneur or bred entrepreneur?

Now, not every day a Stephen Hawking can be produced hence why there are certain exceptions, but if we were to think about it, entrepreneurs build skills, while some might build their skills later in life others have built it starting very early in life. Entrepreneur talents are skills such as good communication, creativity, innovation, self-starter and I am sure there’s more that can be added. These skills can only be built by doing, not talking about it, actual action and experience and this experience ultimately show you where’s one’s strongest points, or genius, as in the case of Warren Buffet, who is brilliant in investments, Bill Gates in software and Steve Jobs in technology.

Learn how to learn. Going to school teaches business language

They don’t know what they don’t know, they don’t have what they want to have, they can’t do what they want to do, their schedule is often a forced schedule, with school restricting them most of the time and it’s all these other factors that blur out the real meaning of being in school. Adult life seems much more fun, free, interesting, and appealing (because we can earn money). This is why kids want to have all these things so quickly rather than appreciate how lucky they are to have the time to build their business language and skills, not to mention enjoy being their age.

Harmony or balance? Which one is dominating your life right now?

Now going back to Jeff Bezos and now Elon Musk, both of them say and other leaders all say and come back to this, do what you are passionate about because I believe that the more you do what you are passionate about you will upgrade to excellence in passion or some quote that talks of excellence in talent. Passion and following your passion according to leaders is long term sustainability and satisfaction.
