The Daily Rise and Grind

Jack Canfield Famously Said: "Successful people maintain a positive focus in life no matter what is going on around them. They stay focused on their past successes rather than their past failures, and on the next action steps they need to take to get them closer to the fulfillment of their goals rather than all the other distractions that life presents to them." A man'without aspirations, is a man who will go through life wandering and aimless. However, even though having goals is of uttermost importance, your motive behind your aspirations supersedes, the goal itself. Thus, if the reason for your aspirations is to molest and oppress others, be rest assured that you will not achieve those goals and even when you do, it will not last the test of time. So start today, make your dreams in tandem with the positive course of humanity. 

Every couple, face challenges, if they pass, their bond becomes stronger and if they lose it becomes weaker. However, for some people they have never passed this test! Because the moment any challenge surfaces, they take to their heels. Hence, t hey go back and forth with no real result of ever having a stable relationship or marriage. If you intend to have a happy marriage,be ready to face adversity as a team.❤

There were two neighbors living next to each other. One of them was a retired teacher and another was an insurance agent who had a lot of interest in technology. Both of them had planted different plants in their garden. The retired teacher was giving a small amount of water to his plants and didn’t always give a full attention to them, while the other neighbor interested in technology, had given a lot of water to his plants and looked after them too well. The retired teacher’s plants were simple but looked good. The insurance agent’s plants were much fuller and greener. One day, during the night, there was a heavy rain and a wind due to a minor storm. Next morning, both of the neighbors came out to inspect the damage to their garden. The neighbor who was an insurance agent saw that his plants came off from the roots and were totally destroyed. But, the retired teacher’s plants were not damaged at all and were standing firm. The insurance agent neighbor was surprised to see it, he we...

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 ...

Everybody, at some point in their lives, has experienced failure. It could be something as simple as not getting the job you wanted, or getting fewer marks even after working your ass off. But what defines you is not your failure, but how you get back up after being hit. Here are the failure-to-success stories of some famous people all over the world, that will definitely inspire you on one of those days when you have just given up hope. Once, a young school boy was caught in a fire accident in his school and was assumed that he would not live. His mother was told that he was sure to die, for the terrible fire had devastated the lower half of his body. Even if he were to survive, he would be a cripple throughout his life. But the brave boy did not want to die nor did he want to be a cripple. Much to be the amazement of the doctor, he did survive. But unfortunately from his waist down, he had no motor ability. His thin legs just dangled there, lifeless. Ultimately he was discharged ...

As tempting as being rude seems, never succumb to it. Trust me, there will be people who will try your patience, people who are so envious of you, they want you to hate them. Why? So you seem bad and they seem good. So that they can destroy your reputation and make you feel bad about yourself and your life. In fact, these people will go as far as,spreading lies about you. Don't buy into their schemes. Be nice to them nothing pisses them more. Why? Because no one should control your happiness, your mood or your life. When someone tries to piss you off, put a huge smile on your face and you will break all their defenses!

Bangambiki Habyarimana famously said: "Success in life is not for those who run fast, but for those who keep running and always on the move" In life, there will always be losers and winners. There will always be those in front and those behind. There will always be successes and failures! In fact, there will always be the rich and the poor! But does this mean life is unfair? Especially when you fall in the last category? No one can truly answer if life is biased or not, because life always has a trick on its sleeve. The truth is: it is just a matter of time. Life may seem unfair but it gives to everyone different things at different times. Different destinies, different purposes and different achievements. For example, there are so many stories Of Great Men and Women, who had all the fame, money and successes in the world but all of a sudden their shine came to an abrupt halt! So who's fault was it? Life? Theirs? Mistakes? We can blame many factors but the truth is...
