Sad, But Fundamental Facts About Life: "Life Pays You In Your Own Coin"

Confucius famously said:

"When you see a good person, think of becoming like her/him. When you see someone not so good, reflect on your own weak points."

Life has a beautiful way of playing all manner  of tricks on we mortals, since we have little or no control of the future.

It is for this reason, caution is advised in our daily lives. Since you do not own the world, and sometimes, do not have a a clue what surprises tomorrow might bring. Your best bet would be to avoid living your life precariously.

Why? Because "Life Pays You In Your Own Coin." What you 'Sow' you will DEFINITELY 'Reap.'
As you journey through life each stone you throw (actions) returns back to you, often, in hundred folds.

For example, you can't be cheating on your partner and be praying for a happy marriage.

You can't be unfair and mean to people and expect kindness.

You can't turn down an opportunity to help someone (especially when you can help) and expect to be helped in future.

You can't be destroying someone's marriage and think you will have a peaceful home.

You can't go about spoiling people's reputation and expect to have a good reputation or a good name!

You can't be disrespecting your partner and expect others to respect him/her! Or even respect you!

You can't go about destroying people's happiness and expect to be happy!

You can't be fighting the progress of others and expect to succeed in life!

It might be sad, but it is the truth, whatever you do to others, will eventually be done to you. Life will pay you, in the same measure you give others.

Thus, from today make a commitment to yourself and your conscience, that you will do what is right at all times. For the consequences of the future outweighs the pleasures of today.

THREE WAYS TO OVERCOMING YOUR WEAKNESSES.

Image
Matshona Dhliwayo Famously said: "To realize your greatest strengths, you must first overcome your greatest weaknesses" The reason why so many great people seem perfect or infallible, is not because they are perfect. But because they have learnt how to master their weaknesses. Every man you see has a weak spot. It could be in their character, for some it could be their loved ones, while for others, it could be their lifestyle. But ultimately, human beings by nature have weaknesses they all try to hide. Now, this is where the problem lies, because you shouldn't be hiding your weaknesses or pretending that they do not exist. Instead you should be confronting your weaknesses, because facing them head on is what will make you overcome them and prevent others from using them against you. The first step to overcoming your weaknesses is: Identifying and Admitting Your Weaknesses You cannot solve a problem, until you identify what these problems are. The same applies to...

Unhealthy Competition Is A Dream Killer!

Image
James Altucher Famously Said: "Your competition is not other people but the time you kill, the ill will you create, the knowledge you neglect to learn, the connections you fail to build, the health you sacrifice along the path, your inability to generate ideas, the people around you who don't support and love your efforts, and whatever god you curse for your bad luck" The need to compete with other people, is a profound trait of human beings. It doesn't matter your educational background, your status, family or upbringing. At some point in your life, you must have felt distressed and left behind by your mates. Being left behind must have given birth to the need to compete, to feel among, to belong. However, this need to compete with those around you, needs to to be checked. If it isn't it, will destroy everything you are or will ever be. First of all, it is of great import that you realise that you are a different person and your life is going to progr...

HABITS THAT TARNISH YOUR IMAGE

Image
Swami Satchidananda famously: "If you do not pour water on your plant, what will happen? It will slowly wither and die. Our habits will also slowly wither and die away if we do not give them an opportunity to manifest. You need not fight to stop a habit. Just don’t give it an opportunity to repeat itself" Our habits are part of our identity it, it is what defines us, what makes us different from others, what makes us succeed or what makes us fail. Invariably, the type of habits we imbibe will determine if we are respected or disrespected. Habits are they defining quality that presupposes what other people think of us. Nevertheless, it is important to realise that what people think of you doesn't matter, because you can never satisfy human beings. But on the other hand, even though you may not give a damn about what they may say or think. It is pertinent that your Image is not destroyed or marred as a result of your habits or inadequacies. Thus, you have to prote...
