Your Circle Of Friends

November 6, 2018 eddaz 30 Comments

A friend who stands

with you in times of pressure

is more valuable than a hundred

friends who will stand

with you at times of pleasure – Unknown

Have you had a situation where you found yourself in the pit, screaming out for help to whoever can hear without uttering a word out of your lips? Groaning in pain, self-guilt, and pity for yourself? You seek for a way out but you find all doors locked.

You reach out to the few friends you have but something seems wrong…. they make excuses for not being able to help. If you are in this situation, first thank God for the tough time that has come to visit you because it means whatever hardship you find yourself in will not deter your progress or success in life, it will only toughen and prepare you for the people that will surround you at your greatest moment coming soon.

Now you will know who your real friends are, the ones that love you without judging or condemning you, the ones that want you to progress in life, the ones that feel your pain and will do anything to help you get rid of it. Just like this quotes say…

Without fake friends, you will not know the real ones – Unknown

God sometimes removes people from your life to protect you, don’t run after them – Unknown

You always knew after shitty things happen, who your real friends really were – Jodi Picoult

Success Of Taking A Risk

No matter who you are,

No matter what you did,

No matter where you’ve come from,

You can always become a better version of yourself – Madonna

Been gone for a couple of weeks to turn things around in certain areas of my life that needed deep attention and I’m glad it was more than worth it.

What is life without a little risk? – J.K Rowling

Success Starts With You

October 1, 2018 eddaz 15 Comments

Success is liking yourself,

liking what you do,

and liking how you do it- Maya Angelou

Everyone wants to become outstanding in life. It’s interesting how we focus our minds on the products of achievement but not on how to find our paths to the spot. How do you think someone worth multimillion dollars nailed this status; appear on social media platforms, and places where successful people are known?

Part of what makes us human is that we wake up every day and have one motive in mind- TO FEED. Maslow’s hierarchy focuses on the various levels of human need, once the basic and physiological demands are met (food, water, safety, affection, and esteem), a man works hard to climb to the next stage but the fundamental is getting to the level of self-actualization where success is the ultimate.

How do we become successful?

Believe in you (Self Love).
Aim Higher.
Get out of your comfort zone.
Grab a bag with a mission.
Stand out from the crowd.
Focus.

Actualizing this factors doesn’t confirm the certainty of you becoming wealthy overnight; it’s a gradual process where you take a step at a time alongside patience. Whatever definition of success you have in mind depends on what your goals are but in anything you do, remember to stay happy and not sacrifice your soul for success.

How Do I Overcome Pain Of Rejection

September 19, 2018 eddaz 25 Comments

I know how it feels to be rejected because it’s like being stabbed. The pain is so intense; you feel the urge to close your eyes and end it right there. I’ve been turned down many times in my life, in all areas such as in relationships, educational affairs, friendship…. name it. Not that they hated me but life has a way of pushing us around to mold us together to become stronger, independent, upright and be who we should be.

The pain of rejection is something we have all felt on many occasions, no matter how much we try to avoid it, trust me it’s inevitable and then we ask ‘why me’??

We feel rejected when we underestimate ourselves,

Have high expectations from people,

Have low esteem and fear criticism…

All this is normal but when it keeps going on in a vicious circle, then I would say “that’s bad for your health.” No one is built in perfection but everyone has the space to accept good, sensible correction to be a better person.

To overcome the pain of rejection is one of the most difficult things to do but I conquered it and there’s been no turning back. I’ve discovered the freedom of expression it brings, confidence in love affairs, the charisma that attracts genuine people and success.
