Paycheck to Paycheck Cycle

I wonder who will relate with this one, but I am definitely sure many.....

1. Days before Payday: Broke mode

The last time you looked at your account balance, oh not look but thought about your account, it just turned your face sour. Imagine this scenario, You are walking down the road and someone dropped their wallet, as broke as you were you pretended to turn a blind eye. As soon as they were in no sight you rushed to pick up the wallet and what you saw was..

and I wonder how thieves really feel when this happens after their hard work and putting their lives at risk.. This mode can be best described as the unhappy mode, you can tell from the way a person walks (you walk facing down, you are too ashamed to look at the world), the way they dress (its like something bad happened to your wardrobe, you got robbed and people had to donate clothes for you and they don`t seem to go well together) and even their face (suddenly pimples are harassing you). You send out call backs but you get no response and you start telling yourself, "Oh, this is how they operate, they don`t call when I am down, just wait until I get paid, I will show them who I am". Hey, you are not the only one who is broke, so give people a break.

2.  A few hours before payday: Anxious Mode

You know today is the day, you are anxious, restless, all these emotions fill up your mind. And then "what ifs" start to take over, What if we don`t get paid today? You know for sure you will collapse....Your phone beeps and excited you pick it up with a smile and there is a promotional message from Mascom or Orange, hahahaha! Back to that anxious face again, you start pacing around the office, you forget what you being paid for. After a long, energy consuming wait, you get paid and Yipee!.......

This brings an interesting, dangerous mode which I will explain in the next post called "I just got paid"!

5 Tips to Success.

I am not a speaker nor a motivator. Not even a counselor or anything of that sort but just a mere writer. Writing is what I love  and what I enjoy doing. Our weaknesses in life open doors of opportunity for us.

I am naturally a quite person, shy to the bone. I speak when spoken to and don`t talk a lot. As an entrepreneur, these qualities are your weaknesses. Through these weaknesses I realized an opportunity. There was an urge to share my views with people , to express how I feel in a more sensible way. Some of us do that by singing, some through poetry, some by dancing, some by dressing up, some through painting, some through cooking,  and I had to Write. 

You want to be successful in life?  Here are the 5 tips you won`t go wrong with.!

1. Let us not try to be "Jack of all trades, master of none". Realize your "calling" and perfect it to the best of your abilities. Your calling should be something you are passionate about, something that gives you joy, something you can do without being paid, something that no matter how busy your day is, you always find time to do.

2. Keep a notebook with you at all times. If you wake up at 3 a.m. with a brilliant idea, write it down. A blank notebook becomes a suggestion box for your brain, opening you up to new ideas.

3. Realize failures bring about success. Risk is all about trying, getting in the game. You can't succeed if you aren't in the game.

4. Have confidence. Decide you are confident and have a more playful, less serious attitude about life. What`s with being uptight? 

5. Get your priorities straight. The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, to your community and to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning. 

Let yourself experience emotion. Know what love, grief and pain are. And above all be yourself!

Message to you!

Hello once again and Welcome back!

 

God has given us yet another year to fulfil our purpose on this earth. We are all writing our own books of life and we better ask ourselves if we are writing a masterpiece or just a book full of crap. One thing I learned with aging is “to live with no regrets”. I have failed many times and have succeeded more times than I have failed, because my failures were never my setback but my motivation to work even harder and focus more. I have cried my eyes out and always remembered my hands to wipe away the tears and smile again. My heart has been broken before but I always managed to find the scattered pieces, pick them up, make it whole and be able to love again wholeheartedly.

No matter what happens in your life, always see the better side, as they say, “There is always light at the end of the dark tunnel”. When night falls, we know there would be light in the morning. Every night before you go to bed ask yourself if you are ready for tomorrow because if you are not, it will be a waste to even ask God to wake you up in the morning. Ask not anyone but successful people what the key to success is, and they will tell you “Preparation”, anyone else will say “Money”, #always thinking the end results and never the process#. Every morning when you wake up, smile, because that’s a blessing in itself. As you step out of your house, smile and say, “World, here I come”, because you are stepping out into opportunities, beautiful, endless opportunities which await you to tap into.

Now my new year`s message is: This is our year, a year to stop complaining and start solving problems; A year to stop depending on the government but the government to depend on us. Make your mark visible and do the best you can. We are raising a generation of go-getters, a generation which is talented, smarter, intelligent and innovative. So believe in yourself and in your dreams. Remember You are Extraordinary and unique. Dream Big and Bigger and Bigger....

To men: Be as gentle and responsible.

To Ladies: Know your worth, Be a woman of virtue.

Compliments of the new season to all of you.!!!!
