LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT by Elly David
H
ello my wonderful readers, it’s another day again we meet here at this AweSome magazine column. l want to appreciate all my readers who follow up on my articles, thank you for the love and support and l hope you will continue being inspired. Everyone has an idea of life but few people understand the meaning of life. One of the worst things is getting to your 50s and start to regret and wonder how you spent your early years. We cannot fix our past mistakes, but we can make better choices that will make us not to repeat old mistakes. What am l talking about? Life which is a gift God has given to you but what you use it for is a gift to yourself. My heart sheds tears every time l see young men and women wasting their lives away and then after put the blame on other people. l challenge you today, I as a young man, l can realise the difference and make a change, why not you? Put God first in everything you do and God bless you. Until next time;

A Buroo said: “If I had all the beer in the world, I’d take it and throw it into the river”.

And the congregation cried, “Amen!” “And if I had all the whiskey and rum in the world, I’d take it all and throw it in the river”. Again the congregation cried, “Amen!” The Buroo sat down.

SUCCESSFUL HABITS YOU NEED TO DEVELOP DAILY.
F
or over 10 years I have been fascinated to find out why other people are successful while others fail despite the fact that they are probably living in the same neighborhood? One of the answers that I find is habit. Success is the result of what we do on daily basis. I found out Successful people simply have successful habits and unsuccessful people have unsuccessful habits. What you do on daily basis can make you successful or unsuccessful. It’s all about a routine. As Aristotle, the prominent Greek philosopher and a scientist, once said, “95% of everything you do is the result of habit” When it comes to habit, there are two key rules to remember: the first rule is ‘to form good habits and make them your masters rather than allowing bad habits to form’. The second rule is that ‘good habits are hard to form but easy to live with while bad habits are easy to form but hard to live with’. Brian Tracy, the popular motivational speaker and author, discovered that all habits are learned and they can also be unlearned. That means you can simply replace a bad habit with a good habit that has a more powerful positive impact on your life.
How do you develop Successful habits? It’s simple. By repetition! Make it a routine. Almost everything you do from the time you get up in the morning is habit. Start thinking about what would be the best habits to have every day. The following are the 6 successful habits that I recommend to you that you need to develop on daily basis.
1. Daily goal setting and goal orientation: You do become what you think about most of the time and you do achieve what you think about most of the time and this is why all successful and wealthy people think about their goals most of the time. Think about your goals constantly even when you’re driving or talking to other people. When you go to sleep at night think about your goals for the coming day and make a list each day of all the goals you are going to accomplish that day. One good way to plan your goals is to keep a journal and write down your goals on a regular basis.
2. Be results oriented: Results oriented people are always thinking about the most important things that they can do right now to achieve their most important results. Successful people make a list of everything they have to do and before they start working they set priorities on the list. A great and life changing way to become results oriented is to look at your to-do list and ask yourself that if you could only do one thing on the list before you are called out of the town for a month what activity would you want to complete? Put a circle around that activity, start working on it immediately and discipline yourself to work non-stop until you finish that one activity.
3. Be people oriented:
it but the trick is to do it anyway even when you don’t feel like it. If you do this you will eventually develop the self-discipline that will make everything else possible and take you closer to your goals. Develop these successful habits and you will not have to worry about your success anymore.
Home Work Ask yourself ‘what is the one habit that you should start to develop right now that will help you more than any other habit to achieve your most important goals?’ Whatever it is, start practicing this habit every day until it becomes automatic and easy. Remember. It takes only 21 days to develop a new habit.
You need to understand that everything you have achieved or want to achieve in life is going to be with the help, support or cooperation of people. So ask always yourself what other people want or need from you and how you can help them so that they will want to help you back. Successful salespeople, for instance, are always thinking about their customers, about who their customers are, what they want, how they can help them the most and how they can help them even more.
4. Stay health oriented: Your health is very important and to be health oriented you need to start by eating the right foods in the right proportions, exercising daily and getting lots of rest. Remember that to be successful in our competitive world you need a lot of energy and the best way to get this energy and to replenish it, is to take good care of yourself through a balanced diet and daily exercise.
5. Stay honest: This is one of the most crucial habits of successful people. To be successful, you must be trustworthy and the best way to do this is to always tell the truth no matter what. Honesty really is the best policy. It is this successful habit that will ensure the span of your success.
6. Self-discipline: This is the foundation successful habit that makes everything else possible. The best definition of self-discipline, according to Brian Tracy is: “Self-discipline is the ability to make yourself do what you should do, when you should do it, whether you feel like it or not.” Anybody can do it when they feel like

G
IT STARTS WITH GIVING
iving is a very powerful word which can give you power, influence, love, a quality relationship and fulfillment in general if you understand it right. Given that its a very powerful word and it can give you all of the above its one of the very misunderstood concept in today’s opportunistic world. Our parents, religious leaders, politicians, business owners, leaders from all levels from different fields have been a major influence to their followers either positively or negatively. We were taught since childhood at Sunday school that giving is all about money. For you to be considered as a giver you must give money. And to make it sound powerful and more compelling we were told that blessings come to those who give. They sometimes don’t mention exactly what you should give but if you look in their eyes you can see some notes and coins running around and its usually manifested at the end. Don’t get me wrong here, I am not saying giving money is wrong, but is it all we can give? What about time, our skills, our talents, etc. Moving even further, we all have heard or have read somewhere this statement “If you give you will Receive” the statement is 100% true but do we really understand it? What does a business person think when he wants to start or expand the business? Giving or Receiving? Do they think about reaching more people touching more lives and solving more problems with their products or service?
What about when a guy wants to propose to a beautiful lady, do they usually think about giving more love more affection more time and more of everything nice or they just think about receiving all of that? I am a business consultant, a trainer especially in the area of customer service marketing and sales. Every time I meet with my clients, if they want to start a new product line or expand their market or take their customer service to the next level the first question I usually ask is “what do you want to give” or “which problem do you want to solve”? Again I want to put it clear it wasn’t your fault and actually it isn’t your fault up to this moment because that’s how we were programmed. Think at the country or government level do we have Giving Aid or Receiving Aid? But yet we know for sure all developed countries are giving countries. We can’t start by changing the government but we can change ourselves. Given the information I have just shared from this point forward, if we don’t shift the way we think and start thinking about giving it’s going to be our complete fault. We will remain poor and being referred as among the 3rd world countries. But guess what we have the power to change that. Regardless of your position, if you are an employee and you want that promotion so badly, stop complaining that you have been in that position for so long and start thinking
about what extra can I give (do) even without expecting returns for it. If you are a business owner whether a big or small business, put a stop on thinking about how can you make more money and start thinking about reaching more people, touching more lives and solving more problems with your product or service if you are just starting and you want to become an entrepreneur, you want to own your own business stop thinking about how can you maneuver , evade tax and make more money and start think about solving more problems I was so inspired to share my skills and experience in the area of customer care after catching myself complaining about the service status in our country every now and then. Probably most do not know how to give the best service, thus today I help more people more businesses to give the best customer service to their clients. If your relationship or marriage is going through hell stop for a minute and think when did you stop giving? Giving will enlarge you, nourish and flourish your life. It will give you happiness and fulfillment. If you give you will receive, it might not be today, neither tomorrow but it always come multiplied. Give and when you give, Give your Best.
