Life in the Age of Shifting Paradigms

By -

How we see the world has a powerful effect on how we feel and behave towards others. If we see a world at war – a world of competition and battle – we respond to situations that way, defensively and aggressively, seeking to exert control and dominate. When we see a world where everything is connected our hearts open more easily, so that we respond more creatively, compassionately and generously.

The challenge for humanity now is to transform and transcend our fractured views, our defensive and competitive “ego-logical” ways of thinking. Once we do that, we’ll be better able to care for nature, support people who are suffering and redesign our more destructive social values and institutions.

Over time, we’ll hopefully find many of our problems falling away, being solved, or dissolving quite naturally. Like a fevered mind awakening from delusions, the health of our planet and communities can be restored once enough of us open our hearts, shift our values and transcend overly dualistic ways of thinking.

Relationship Series (Introduction)

By -
Some years ago, I began to have some thoughts about life. Everyday, we come across people who put up false happiness. Everyone's trying to be truly happy, and everyone surely deserves that, because there's no life without happiness. But a lot of persons are much unhappy inside than they seem to be. Sometimes the pain they feel deep inside gets to a threshold, where they can't keep on putting up false happiness, and their true feelings are more often expressed. For a good number of persons, they redefine happiness, and their definition of happiness does not bring them true happiness, though it feels so at the beginning, but at the end, it only adds to the pain they already feel. At the same time, their search for happiness causes pains to others who are averagely happy or whose happiness is below average. Relationships are part of life. Everything about life thrives on relationship. For every society to be progressive, there must be a greater part of the society with posi...

Success Story: How I went from a CGPA of 2.29 to 4.00 within a Semester

By -
Image
This is a Success Story shared by Olusola O'sola Fapohunda, a graduate of the Federal University of Technology, Akure. ----- In early 2010, I went with about four other guys in my department - to visit our level registration officer. We wanted to check our result. Each one of us, was with a paper and a pen. The lecturer in charge asked for our matriculation numbers and one after the other, he was reeling off grades, GPA and CGPA. He eventually got to me and I heard a digit that sounded like I've been shot. God! Me! 2.29. I've earned myself Grade E in some three unit courses and my best course was APH301, which I had a B with a score of 69. About six months later, I went to check my 300 level second semester result and I now had a CGPA of 4.00. That was the happiest day of my University education. I was rolling on the floor of the room. The previous semester has been hell, yet the one that followed it yielded this awesome result! What did I do? What did I change? What s...

Place Your Light on a lamp stand and let it Shine

I was on one of my favorite spots reading with my phone, when two young ladies, one in bum shorts (I hate when ladies wear this outside) just showcasing themselves in front of me. I lifted my head and looked, then smiled and shook my head as if I didn't see anything. I continued my reading. After plenty effort to gain my attention, by one of them, they advised themselves. One said to the other, why you just dey show yourself, which boy weh go call you for here? I smiled again, then two ladies beside me joined in the discussion. No be boy dey here, one of them mentioned. The other lady replied her saying, "this one na pastor o, em no get time". And as if that was not enough, the other lady went on to ask, "abi em no get prick, no be man em be?". This time I was shocked. I smiled again and pretended as if I didn't hear what she said. In my heart I replied, I have prick but my prick is under control, my prick does not control me nor dictate for me. Why my sto...

If you believe in yourself, you will live life being yourself and doing the very best to give yourself a worthwhile life. Do you know that staying poor will make you deprive yourself the taste of a quality life, so why not work and treat yourself with love.

I Conquered Masturbation, You Can too!

By -
Image
I started masturbating when I was exactly 14 years old. It was such an experience I never believed I could break off from. I grew up in a 'ghetto-like' place, which exposed me to different kinds of persons and experience. I had to run errands for my Grandmother and in the process, stumbled on neighbours watching movies with Adult content and sometimes saw some of them in the act, and because they felt that I was a small boy, the girls either didn't bother to cover themselves leaving their bodies bare as they attended to me, or continued in the act and never cared to pay attention to who it was that was around. Some of the ladies around who were not married would then touch my private part and tell me things they would have done with me if I was older. These were seeds that were being sown in my mind, and unknown to me that it would later lead me into a deep mess. The kind of friends I had both in school and home were those from the privileged class who had access to th...

Eye health: Keeping healthy Eyes

By -
Image
We know how important our eyes are to us. The eyes are delicate and no one will definitely want anything to compromise the eyesight. Today, I will share some important points about keeping one's eyes healthy. • Regular eye check ups and tests are necessary for ensuring good eye health, and will help to detect certain eye diseases like glaucoma which could be asymptomatic. Also, one's knowledge of his/her family's eye health history is necessary to pre-guard against hereditary eye diseases • Staring at screens (TV screen, computer screen, video games) could be unhealthy for one's eyes. It's advisable that one doesn't stare for too long. A rule called the 20/20/20 rule suggests that one should look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds every 20 minutes to reduce eye strain. That implies that one should take his eyes off the screen at least once every 20 minutes and relax the eyes • The use of sunglasses is encouraged when the intensity of sunli...

Dedicate Yourself To It Everyday

By -

"Being able to think on your feet is the result of training and discipline. You can't sprint unless you have built up the strength to do so. Building the stamina is up to you. If you don't work at it, it's not going to happen by wishful thinking. You have to dedicate yourself to it everyday. In other words, set a goal and work toward it. Athletes know that no one else can do the training for them, and business people should have the same discipline. You have to be self reliant." From Donald J . Trump's Think like a Champion .

Investors and banks do not fund Ideas

By -
Image
Investors and banks don't fund ideas. They invest in going concerns and buy equity in businesses that have been prototyped, and have a proven business model & market. Friends, family members, philanthropists, grant making organisations and competitions fund ideas. If you're an early stage business, stop looking for investors or loans. Register for grants from organisations like Tony Elumelu Foundation, go for competitions like Google Launchpad or look for a benevolent uncle. These sources of funds are "no pressure". They do not attract interest and many times will be written off, if your idea doesn't work. By: Subomi Plumptre

Winning is simply a Mindset... A Mindset developed by outstanding individuals (From a Motivational Video)

By -
Image
This Motivation is from a motivational video by FearlessMotivation.com ---------- Winning is simply a mindset A mindset however, that is only developed by outstanding individuals. It's not about talent. It's about Effort. Effort will get you the win when the talent is having a resting day. Effort will drive you home when everyone expects you to give up. Effort will drag you from the canvas when you have been knocked out by life. Winning is not some special reward only reserved for the lucky among us. If you ask all the failures, they will tell you it is the luck, but it's not. Winning is a reward you receive when you have put in the hardwork when no one is watching. Winning is for champion attitudes and champion hearts. If you throw me to the wolves, know that I will return leading the pack. It only takes one moment to decide you are going to be a winner. One moment is all it takes. It only takes one moment to make a decision, one moment to say No, to say n...

Should an Employee seek to grow his passion?

By -
Image
This is a question that has generated a lot of conversation and brought diverse responses. Should an employee seek to pursue his or her passion? When is the right time? How do I make time to pursue it and make it profitable? Questions like these have lingered in the hearts of employees. With the uncertainties at some work place, the satisfaction derived from your heart's call and the fear of regret at the twilight of life. These and many more have pushed many out of their comfort zone to run their dreams and same time, the demands have made much more cower and stay in their comfort zone, drained of life - dying daily. Am I saying you quit your job to chase your passion? Of course not a decision to be made in the spur of the moment. You just must start small and take little steps towards them. I don't want to use my experience to explain this but let me share a friend's. I met him at a wedding over three years ago, we were groomsmen to our mutual friend and from the...
