Your greatest battles aren’t always fought in the world; they’re fought in your mind.
In this episode, we confront the silent war between your dreams and your doubts. It’s time to stop replaying the negative words spoken over you and start rewriting your own story. You don’t need the world’s validation, you need your own voice. Learn how to silence the inner critic, break free from fear, and finally become the author of your own destiny.
Sometimes, the people we overlook are the very ones sent to open doors for us. In this episode, we explore how first impressions aren’t always the full story and why taking the time to truly know those around you can change everything. The friend, colleague, or neighbour you greet casually might just hold the key to that long-awaited dream or the solution to a problem you’ve been battling alone.
It’s a reminder to stay open, stay humble, and stay curious because your hidden helpers might already be closer than you think.
What is an Invisible Disability?
An Invisible disability is a disability or health condition that is not immediately obvious. It defies the stereotypes of what people might think a disabled person looks like.
It is crucial to emphasize that just because a disability cannot be seen, it does not mean it does not exist.
People with Invisible disabilities want to be treated with respect and as individuals—just like people with visible disabilities and the general population. Even though you cannot see evidence of a disability, the disability still exists.
This podcast aims to raise awareness about Invisible disabilities and provide guidance on how to seek help.
"The trouble with not having a goal is that you can spend your life running up and down the field and never score."– Bill Copeland Do you ever feel you're working hard but not getting anywhere? Maybe you see a little improvement in your skills or achievements when you reflect on the past few years. Or perhaps you struggle to see how you can fulfil your ambitions within a period.
Many people spend their lives moving from one job to another or rushing around trying to get more done while accomplishing very little. Setting SMART goals means clarifying your ideas, focusing your efforts, using your time and resources productively, and increasing your chances of achieving what you want in life.
Contentment is the key to a Joyful life. If you never stop to enjoy the moment, when are you ever going to be happy? Contentment can be elusive because the pursuit of ever-greater dreams often leads to an endless quest, highlighting the challenging nature of human satisfaction.
Decide today, to be happy at every stage of your life, every situation, no matter what, and find joy in life. Remember, No one has the best of everything, they just make the best of what they have. and so can you.
A famous quote says, “When you are discontent, you always want more, more, more. Your desire can never be satisfied. But when you practice contentment, you can say to yourself, 'Oh yes- I already have everything that I really need.”
What you think matters, make your own decisions. Because those who love you won’t mind. And those who don’t support you don’t matter.
Be the driver of your life and not the passenger. No one can love you more than you love yourself. Decide today, to do what you want to do, make your decisions , learn from your mistakes, be happy, fufilled, knowing what you think matters.
Setting goals is a wonderful step towards achieving them. But how do you ensure you achieve those goals? The 3 main things you need are Desire, Drive and Do. What do you desire? why do you desire it? The why is your Driving force and that facilitates and ensures the Doing. One step at a time, one day at a time, you can achieve and accomplish the goals you set for yourself.
This episode outlines the first steps you need to ensure your goal or goals are achieved. And once you believe you can and are willing to work on them, you are already halfway there.
“Without goals and plans to reach them, you are like a ship that has set sail with no destination.” – Fitzhugh Dodson. One of my favourite quotes highlights the need to take control of your life.
Life is filled with the unexpected and you never know what could happen. It's important that you plan and take control of your life. No one should be in control of you. Do not look for validation in others. Validate yourself. you are enough and the only obstacle in your life, stopping you from becoming who you want to be, is yourself.
The words you write or speak to others can leave a tremendous impact and create a lasting memory, either good or bad. So it's very important to choose them wisely. Be mindful of your words. Words you say without thinking and mean little to you may stick with someone else for a lifetime and alter their destiny. Watch your words and think before you speak. Put yourselves in their shoes because once the words come out of your mouth, you can't take them back. And even when you say sorry, the wounds your words created will still leave everlasting scars.
Sometimes what we want is not what we need. The ability to see things for what they really are rather than what we want them to be, allows us to recognize the good and find peace in our decisions, progressing ourselves to the future that awaits us.
"THERE IS NOTHING GOOD OR BAD, THINKING MAKES IT SO". Shakespeare breaks down perspective perfectly. For example, two strands of hair in a glass of milk: that's too many, but two strands of hair on the head: that's too little. Your perspective on life defines your attitude and the way you choose to live your life. If you want to live a fulfilled life, be successful and be happy, you must have a positive perspective. It's time to change your perspective.
“I do not exist to please the world. I exist to live my life the way that will make me happy. “ R. Bach.
This is one of my favourite quotes because it defines how to live and not just exist, Be Happy.
Are you going through life, waking up every day and feeling as if you can’t do anything to change your life for the better? Do you feel everything has been decided for you and you don’t have any choice in the matter? You can’t see yourself making a change in your life and feel stuck in one place, unhappy and unfulfilled? Then am sorry to say, you are merely existing.
Or are you someone who wakes up every day and regardless of not knowing what the day might bring, you feel happy, fulfilled, know that you decide how the day goes and know that you have control over your life and not someone else? Do you take time out to enjoy, have fun, do the things you want to do that make you happy? Then you are actually living.
Todays’s Podcast, ‘Don’t just exist, Live’, outlines the difference between living and existing and suggests steps you need to make to stop merely existing and start living a happy fulfilled life.
Be positive, let go of anger, love yourself and learn to forgive. This will surely make you feel much better about yourself. And begin to see the amazing effect you have on others. Surround yourself with positive people, people who will lift you up. Most importantly, get rid of malice, anger and resentment, and this will improve your self-esteem and increase your chances of reaching goals.
Like I stated in self love 1, No one can love you more than you love yourself. Loving you is the first step to loving another and excelling at what you do. You must believe in You. You can be the original of yourself and not the copy of someone else. Be a leader and let everyone else follow. If someone stops talking to you, let them be , God brings and takes people out of our lives for a reason.
No one can love you more than you love yourself. Loving you is the first step to loving another and excelling at whatever you do. this brings me to two of my favourite quotes: "Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?" -- Brigham Young" and "Love yourself first and everything else falls into line. You really have to love yourself to get anything done in this world." -- Lucille Ball
I love this quote, “The only way that we can live, is if we grow. The only way that we can grow is if we change. The only way that we can change is if we learn. The only way we can learn is if we are exposed. And the only way that we can become exposed is if we throw ourselves out into the open. Do it. Throw yourself.”– C. Joybell C.
Change can come in so many ways. It might come forcefully like COVID 19 or come finally like the Black lives matter protests. Sometimes it also stems from devastating tragedy, difficult choices, broken relationships, or even new opportunities. Although change can be hard, a lot of times it’s for the best. Significant changes that push us beyond our limits help us to accomplish great things in life Dealing with an unexpected change like the COVID 19 period and its devastating effects is very difficult for most, but from this, we can learn to cope and see the unique opportunities this period provides for us to change our lives.
Join my 3 friends and I as we discuss changes the COVID 19 Period as brought into our lives, Part 2 follows shortly, Enjoy.
From today come along with us, as we highlight, rant and rave, laugh, quarrel and occasionally goof but ultimately make our marriage work, we hope you will be blessed and learn one or two things about what your spouse is thinking but can’t actually say to you. Enjoy
Staying happily married takes commitment, dedication, compromise, trust, love and the grace of God Almighty. The gang and I get together and discuss some of the reasons why we feel a lot of marriages lasted longer years back and nowadays reasons why a lot of marriages don't last that long.. I hope you enjoy and are blessed by our discussion. I leave you with three of my favourite quotes on love and marriage.
"There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps.”– Ronald Reagan“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.”– Dave Meurer. “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.”
