One At A Time

A friend of ours was walking down a deserted Mexican beach at sunset. As he walked along, he began to see another man in the distance. As he grew nearer, he noticed that the local native kept leaning down, picking something up and throwing it out into the water. Time and again he kept hurling things out into the ocean. As our friend approached even closer, he noticed that the man was picking up starfish that had been washed up on the beach and, one at a time, he was throwing them back into the water. Our friend was puzzled. He approached the man and said, "Good evening, friend. I was wondering what you are doing." "I'm throwing these starfish back into the ocean. You see, it's low tide right now and all of these starfish have been washed up onto the shore. If I don't throw them back into the sea, they'll die up here from lack of oxygen." "I understand," my friend replied, "but there must be thousands of starfish on this beach. You can...

the Magic of a Hug

Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress and induces sleep. It's invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug. Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial ingredients, nonpolluting, environmentally friendly and 100 percent wholesome. Hugging is the ideal gift. Great for any occasion, fun to give and receive, shows you care, comes with its awn wrapping and, of course, fully returnable. Hugging is practically perfect. No batteries to wear out, inflation-proof, nonfattening, no monthly payments, theft-proof and nontaxable. Hugging is an underutilized resource with magical powers. When we open our hearts and arms, we encourage others to do the same. Think of the people in your life. Are there any words you'd like to say? Are there any hugs you want to share? Are you waiting and hoping someone else will ask first? Please don't wait! Initiate! Charles F...

Five awesome ways to turn your life around

Number 1. Gratitude Many people underestimate the power of gratitude. Someone said that, gratitude is the oil that lubricates the wheels of a life of happiness. Gratitude is the act of showing appreciation or being grateful for everything. It is the quality of being thankful for things we have and things we hope to have and all the others we do not have. Someone said, if you cannot be grateful for what you have, at least be grateful for all the bad things you have been spared. Sometimes we focus so much on the bad things that happen to us, or the things we want and are not getting that, we completely forget about all the good things that happen to us every single day. Being grateful is appreciating every single thing that you encounter and focusing on the positives of life. It is not living in denial of the negative things, but it is a deliberate effort not to dwell on them. Every feeling is pure energy. It is what you focus that energy on that transforms its effect. If you ...

Resetting your default mode!

If you are like me and many other people, the longest you stick to your new year resolutions is at most three weeks and then everything is back to normal right? Yet that does not bother you right? You keep setting them every year and keep going back to life as usual every February. Well, that is not strange at all and there is nothing really wrong with you, well just a little something wrong with you (smile). Ok, this is what I have discovered. Everybody has a mental blueprint. If you are regular reader of my blog, you will have come across what a mental blueprint is. It may be a financial blueprint, a social blueprint or even a commitment blueprint. It is just a set of entrenched reactions formed over time that becomes your default mode of behavior anytime you encounter any issue relating to that area of life. It is influenced by the reactions and actions of the people we saw and interacted with whiles growing up.   So if your experience of life was parents and guardians an...

Four things I learnt from the Rich Dad.

I have read man books and listened to numerous audio books, but one of the best is the Rich Dad, Poor Dad series from Robert Kiyosaki and Sharon Lechter. The books talks about the lessons the author learnt from his real dad and his dad’s best friend about money, entrepreneurship, investments, business and wealth. Here are four lessons I learnt from the Rich Dad. 1. Your problem is not money, it is education. Many people believe that, their major problem is money and if they should have a lot of it, all their problems will disappear. Well that is not entirely true. Your major problem is education, and not just any type of education but financial education. How many times have you seen people who come to acquire lots of money either by lottery or a gift and easily lose all their money in a few months? There is something called a financial mental blueprint that becomes the default mode of every person in all matters involving our finances. This mental blueprint is formed as we ...

Stand Out

It is amazing how so many people want to conform to the status quo. Almost everyone is afraid to be singled out or to stand out. Man is a social being by instinct and is always drawn into the assurance of safety by association. This natural trait however, if allowed to unduly influence our social formation often leads to timidity, mediocrity and cowardice. It is said that, if you are not ready to do what everyone else is not doing, you cannot get what everyone else has not got. This perhaps is the reason why the few people who are not shackled by this desire to conform are the ones who stand out and get rewarded by life. It is also said that life will not give you what you want, it gives you what you go out and take. Getting lost in the crowd and finding accommodation in Average-Land is the surest way to live a miserable unfulfilled life. The only way to make a mark on this earth and live a happy, satisfying life is to stand out. Here are a few ideas to consider if you are ready...

Challenges to Pursue

Re-direction- your life in the next lane.

If you were driving from Accra to Kumasi and after a couple of hours into the journey, you came across a sign post that read “25 km to Ho”, what would be your immediate reaction? Almost everyone will say, stop, admit you took the wrong road and get out of the car to assess your exact location.   You would then examine the information you have on the road and why you got lost, admit you might not know the road as much as you thought you did, ask for directions, turn the car around immediately and get on the right road, right? Simple and smart execution! When it comes to such basic life activities, people are very effective in dealing with redirection. However, many people are lost on the road of life towards success but are still cruising along, some even accelerating, yet complaining about how they seem to never reach their destinations. For some others, they keep seeing road signs that indicate they are getting closer to totally different destinations than they desire, and in...
