What motivates me?

What motivates me is the end product of anything I do. I always think about what’s the reward and is it really worth all this effort, if not than I don’t do it. In order for anyone to be motivated they either need to be passionate on a particular field or they are receiving something worth having when the work is done. To be motivated is also determined by what your energy levels feel like when performing your task. Motivation drives people to excel and preserve through tough times and if you don’t have motivation about anything then I’m sorry to say this, but your life is a lost course and you still need to be found. Hopefully I motivated you to find some direction in what really interests you and why, if not I’m sorry!

The Elephant in the room

The elephant in the room, reminds me of the time when controversial issues are present in conversations. They are there just waiting to pop out and make you realize that what you are about to say could have so much more meaning than what you’re thinking. Everybody knows how big an elephant is and often in today’s time controversy sells big.

To me the elephant in the room symbolizes something controversial. It’s there but nobody is willing to actually show their elephant. We are more worried about what people are going to think about us if we are for or against an issue. Sometimes it’s good to point out this elephant and hopefully this animal could help us think critically and provide us with a platform of mutual understanding. So unleash the elephant and tell me what the response was.

Every day is a good day

Every day is a good day, there’s something to be grateful for everyday. Even if it’s something small, it has meaning and value to you. I’m grateful that I can get up in the morning and walk; there are some people who dream that they can do something as simple as walking. I think that by showing that you are grateful for things allows others to appreciate your company and presence. The minute you become ungrateful is the same time that you lose respect for others. Being grateful and respect goes hand in hand and that is why by learning life’s lessons we sure to make every day a good one and hopefully everybody’s life too.

Our greatest strengths are our greatest weaknesses.

A strength could be something that we know we good at or a thing we find easy to excel in. A weakness on the other hand is the total opposite. Be that as it may, once people discover what we good at it's easy to manipulate one other. If we work hard enough we can turn our weaknesses into strengths with a bit of practice. A weakness of yours could be dancing, but through constant practice of dancing routines you are capable of turning that seemingly negative aspect into a positive trait. All you need is the practice and then any weakness can blossom and develop into a strength. So don't give up but aspire to be something greater!

What is death!

DEATH IS NOT SOMETHING WE CAN OVERCOME. IT IS SOMETHING WE LEARN TO LIVE WITH. Death might terminate the existence of the ones we love here on earth but it can never erase their memory. Even after death, our loved ones live on in our memories. The battle that many people have is trying to overcome death. We will never be able to do this. Only Jesus overcame death. The key to living with and accepting death is our understanding and appreciation of life. We need to remember that we do not only live for ourselves. The lives we lead is what leaves a long and lasting impression on others - even after our death. And it is this impression that others will remember and cherish long after we have died. This is why we need to live our lives in such a way that our loved ones are left with a beautiful treasure of memories and, even though they cannot overcome our death, they will have these memories to help them to live with their loss. We might not have control over death but we can control how we live.

Some advice for the upcoming festive SPEND

SOME DO’S & DON’TS FOR THE FESTIVE SEASON!
Everyone is feeling the financial pinch at present with the high cost of living. So even if you have enough money, spend it wisely as things are going to get tougher next year. Tighten your belts and buy only what is really necessary.
Most importantly, pay your bills BEFORE you start doing your Christmas shopping. Buy a SMALL gift to put under the Christmas tree on Christmas Day and do your shopping for BIG items after Christmas when everything goes on sale. Buy and cook only as much food as you CAN eat as many people have so much leftovers that they have to throw them away after Christmas.
And REMEMBER to Tithe and to GIVE generously to those who are less fortunate than yourselves.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!
