Optimist

Forget what hurt you in the past but never forget what it taught you. Everybody deserves second chances, but not for the same mistakes. If someone you love hurts you, one of the best things you can do is to move on and find happiness elsewhere. Don't give them the satisfaction of seeing you suffer. Let go when you're hurting too much, give up when love isn’t enough, and move on when things aren’t like before. Surely there is someone out there who will love you more.

You were born poor, but if you die poor you have yourself to blame.  Here are 6 habits that could easily draw your route-map to a life of perpetual poverty. 1.You focus on linear income instead of passive income Most people focus on linear income in the name of salary, allowances and one-off payments. Wise men on the other hand focus on passive income in the name of royalties, interest rates, value addition and profit. Relying on linear income is similar to using buckets to fetch water from the river. With time, you’ll get too old and too tired to transport them to and fro and that means you’ll have to starve for as long as you don’t go to the river. Relying on passive income on the other hand is similar to building a pipeline. It may require a lot of work at the beginning but with time, you’ll no longer have to go to the river to get water – the river will come to you and you’ll not starve. This is the most fundamental principal of wealth creation that most (including you...

1. Eagles fly Alone and at High Altitudes. They don't fly with sparrows, ravens, and other small birds. Stay away from narrow-minded people, those that bring you down. Eagle flies with Eagles. Keep good company. 2. Eagles have an Accurate Vision. They have the ability to focus on something as far as 5km away. No matter the obstacles, the eagle will not move his focus from the prey until he grabs it. Have a vision and remain focused no matter what the obstacles and you will succeed. 3. Eagles do not Eat Dead things. They Feed only on Fresh Prey. Do not rely on your past success, keep looking for new frontiers to conquer. Leave your past where it belongs, in the past. 4. Eagles Love the Storm. When clouds gather, the eagle gets excited, the eagle uses the storms wind to lift itself higher. Once it finds the wind of the storm, the eagle uses the raging storm to lift itself above the clouds. This gives the eagle an opportunity to glide and rest its wings. In the meantime, al...

Like trees in the field or forest are human beings. Trees are of different types,sizes and serves different purposes. Some trees are taller others are smaller but each serves its main purpose of existence.  Not all trees are medicinal,others are toxic and poisonous but all live in the same forest, no tree has desired to uproot the other other, each live for a purpose and its reason of existence. The poisonous and toxic trees are  important because it serves other purposes too. The smaller trees never wish to have been tall, and taller trees never wished to have been smaller, each are proud of their opportunity to exist and serve its purpose. As humans we shall never ever be the same but we shall always be important.

Stay true to yourself. Don’t worry about what people think of you or about the way they try to make you feel. If people want to see you as a good person, they will. If they want to see you as a bad person, absolutely nothing you do will stop them.  Ironically, the more you try to show them your good intentions, the more reason you give them to knock you down if they are commited to misunderstanding you. Keep your head up high and be confident in what you do.  Be confident in your intentions and keep your eyes ahead instead of wasting your time on those who want to drag you back. Because you can’t change people’s views, you have to believe that true change for yourself comes from within you, not from anyone else.

Sometimes, we need to forgive the person who wronged us, regardless if they apologize or not. Because, it is for our own peace of mind and it is like starting a new chapter in our life. We don't need to cling to the wrong things they have done to us. We must be thankful that it happened and we must not cry over it again and again.  We need to smile because it happened. Because when you forgive, it takes away the burden that you've been carrying. Because when you forgive, you will be happy. and because forgiving is for your personal growth. Forgiveness, is one of the hardest thing to do. It's not an overnight effect that you can immediately forgive someone. It takes a lot of tries like, twice thrice or perhaps a couple of times. Forgiving someone is a tool for own peace. Do not prolong your agony!  Life is too short to grieve over something that can be forgiven. Live life while you have it.

There was once a king who was so cruel and unjust that his subjects yearned for his death or dethronement. However, one day he surprised them all by announcing that he had decided to turn over a new leaf. “No more cruelty, no more injustice,” he promised, and he was as good as his word. He became known as the ‘Gentle Monarch’. Months after his transformation one of his ministers plucked up enough courage to ask him what had brought about his change of heart. And the king answered, “As I was galloping through my forests I caught sight of a fox being chased by a hound. The fox escaped into his hole but not before the hound had bitten into its leg and lamed it for life. Later I rode into a village and saw the same hound there. It was barking at a man. Even as I watched, the man picked up a huge stone and flung it at the dog, breaking its leg. The man had not gone far when he was kicked by a horse. His knee was shattered and he fell to the ground, disabled f...
