  “That positive thoughts yield positive results while negative thoughts yield negative results isn’t at all a far-fetched or ludicrous perception.   As humans, we are gifted with a mental system that allows us to recognise that which does not yield as we desire and be able to change it for better.   In other words, you and I have the natural ability to change the way we think, or the way we foresee the future, and think differently to influence better outcomes in our lives.   The most effective and obvious way to cultivate a culture of positive thinking , and as well make changing your mind an effortless process, is to become a life-long student .   When you embrace the learning process and make it a priority in your life, you’ll create for yourself bountiful opportunities to easily change your mind and yield better experiences of life.   Always remember that you’re not fixed to think just one way, and you certainly do have the ability to set your mind on...

  “It’s once again the beginning of the unfolding of a new year, which essentially is a packaged priceless natural gift that you are meant to enjoy over a period of twelve months. So, now is that moment for you to begin to unwrap your gift and figure out how you’re going to make the most out of it.   I don’t suppose you have any intention to let any minute of your gift go to waste.   That there’s such a schedule to have a new beginning, like the beginning of a new day, week, month, or year as is now, is intended to help you figure out how to do better what didn’t work out well last.   You’re now right at an opportune moment to set yourself and your life differently, for greater effectiveness and impact.   Remember, when it comes to your own life you are always the key authority in your journey of life.   You are accountable to setting yourself for the best use of your yearly gift of life.   It isn’t much about what others promises to make happen for yo...

  “Notice how you, me, and everyone else living, is always gifted with a priceless moment spanning a whole year, to utilise anyhow as we desire.   Not only that though, but if we allow ourselves to learn enough to effectively manage and lead our personal lives, we each stand to get many more such priceless days and years.   Such is an amazing gift which though we never truly and visibly recognize, is deserving of a great celebration at year-end , even without the usual types of successes commonly sought after.   Surely, if you’re still alive by year-end then it means you’ve had your living moment, which essentially represents your gift for the particular year.   Isn’t this something to be hugely grateful about, given it is some form of passive income which doesn’t require much effort from you, if any at all?   This year-end, therefore, despite any other challenging circumstances, make sure to see the lighter side of life, with respect to the end of yet ano...

  “As Socrates long observed ‘ true wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us.   Truthfully, human beings are by nature designed to be always in the ascendance in terms of their development and advancement, relative to the evolving environment of habitation.   This is because nothing, in human life, stays the same for any prolonged period, and hence every individual must continue to learn to effectively manage themselves well against any changes in life.   It is unequivocal that whatever we know today, or at any given moment in life, is only a tiny fraction of what is there that we need to know.   Hence, we can never know enough, but we must necessarily strive to know more.     Whatever we know about what matters most to life today is far much more than what we knew decades and centuries ago, but also far much less than what we need to know now, and in the future to come. ...
