Enjoying Life and Making it Interesting

Life is more interesting when you are enjoying yourself. This is the prime reason why people find it easy to associate with each other. If you choose to make life interesting, you attract more people to yourself. No one is whole of his/her self, other people create the major parts. It all boils down to making a bold step of making it interesting.
The most important things that make life interesting include: attending events, reading, visiting, engaging in self-improvement activities etc. Taking part in any of these activities gives you more information and experience. Experience as they say, is a good teacher. If you don’t have any experience in anything, it means you do not have enough confidence to do it. For instance not everyone is able to sustain a conversation, and when they do they often get disappointed. To avoid such,it is important to join events that will make you aware of a variety of subjects. This will ensure that you can contribute in any form of conversation with anyone.
When you involve yourself with activities, you stand a better chance of mingling with people with whom you share mutual interests. I believe there are a thousand and one ways to make life better. A times when you visit a place, you may find other people like you out there. It gives your life a meaning when you share your experiences with them. By sharing you gain from what the other is doing to improve on his/her life and that is the essence of making life interesting.

Starting Small

Success is a happy ending of any unpleasant tussles and sleepless nights spent. It is a rewarding experience when you finally reach your goals. However, it is saddening when you fail since, it means that either you did not fulfill your goals or, you did not put much effort. It is really a tough struggle when you find out that everything you have worked for is just a waste of time. It is important to note that, life is worth giving all your efforts no matter any circumstance. Patience is another way of ensuring that a success is reached. You may give up today and tomorrow find out that you were slightly next to your success.
When you have nothing it doesn’t mean that you will never have any. If your strategy is starting small be sure you will reach there. There is no need bragging about the steps you are already taking, just let things unfold naturally until it is apparent to everyone. When you begin small you give yourself humble time to progress from one point to another. It can never happen when all you do is seat and stare at opportunities passing by , the secret is keeping eyes wide open for new opportunities. When many opportunities are within your reach, it therefore means that your success is just next to you.
Desiring the best is the ingredient for a successful future. You only need to have your mind focused on your goals. At times we are tempted to compare ourselves with others. What they do should not be a point of concern, let your own desires drive you. When you compare yourself with others, you already hate yourself. Hating yourself is a hindrance to your success. Start small and look forward to bigger things.

The Nature of Jealousy

Jealousy is a negative term that is used to refer to the ugly outcomes of negative emotions and anxiety. It is experienced by almost every person at one time in one’s life time. To some people jealousy is just too much for them to handle. When someone is jealous of you, you will notice it since it is written all over the face. In some instances someone will discourage you or even utter hurting words.
Jealousy is a big threat to any relationship whatsoever. It is often confused with envy but jealousy is more strong and self destructive. When someone is jealous the personality changes and deteriorates with time unless effort is made to control it. People may be tempted to think that jealousy is experienced by people who lack but even those who have more than they need feel it too. In fact if anything, those who have feel it even more for fear of losing what they have. They fear being overtaken by others who might take their position.
In a relationship, it starts with little petty things like, hair style, clothing, social life, etc it becomes even worse when a person is too dependent on another. When someone withdraws support from the other, a feeling of desperation sets in which stirs up jealousy. Jealousy heightens mistrust in a relationship and hence an impudent behavior. In most circumstances when things get to such an extent, the relationship becomes sore to a suffocating extent of breaking up.
` When jealousy is too much in a person’s life, loss of self esteem is experienced. It belittles one’s sense of self integrity and purpose in life. It is dangerous since it is possible to do things that might lead to regrets later in life. Jealousy needs to be avoided at an early stage before it reaches a destructive stage. There are stages where the victim finds fault in everything that goes around. Instead of appreciating all the good things happening in life, he/she despises even the most precious things in life.

Acquiring The Best

The best things in life are lost and not likely recovered because of constant complains “I am too busy” What happens today if you are told, you only have one year left? The answer is simple we cannot do everything in life but the good thing is, we have the freedom to choose what to do. The life of any human being is surrounded by the best choices that make life worth living.
Apart from the basic necessities and the daily routines, there are more interesting things that make life interesting. Life is short that is no hidden fact owing to this fact, it can either be nasty or interesting depending on the road we take. At times we make wrong choices and spend the rest of our lives cursing ourselves. The common mistake that most of us do is concentrating on the future or the past until we miss out on the most important things.
The best things in life don’t come in a silver platter, they are carefully selected. If you are looking for a machine, select the best, if you are looking for a life partner look for the best. It is not fair to do things because other people are doing the same. The secret of making your life better is by discovering what works best for you and go ahead with it. Discover your potential since obviously everybody has a unique niche in life. Ones you discover your niche pursue it with a lot of passion. Concentrate on your strength and ameliorate your life.

When the lips say YES and the heart says NO!

It is worthwhile to be honest even if not to everyone at least to your self. Living a lie is expensive because you strive so much to please another person while you suffer inside. When you commit your lips to say yes, you have already interfered with the results. An honest No is equals to an honest Yes. If every time you are asked to do something you say yes, then anyone will question. It would be very difficult for someone to always trust your yes if he/she has never heard your No.
I have a reason to believe that when the heart says No it actually means it. If the lips would interfere with the heart and says yes, it already means failure. You may think that you are pleasing someone while in real sense you are actually hurting. Declaring your stand is the most honorable and respectable thing one can ever do. It makes you to not only feel good but to also look good. It also shows that you are independent minded and responsible for your life. Many people face challenges after saying yes since they did not mean it. Usually when this happens someone makes so many errors or take too long to accomplish a given task since the heart is not at peace with the lips.
When you work for someone regardless of who he/she is, it is always good to declare your stand. If you fail to do this, there is likelihood that you will be misused and you will have yourself to blame for this. Same case applies to relationships one spouse can look down upon the other since every decision would be made by one person. If what your spouse suggests you go by it even when it is wrong it means your opinion doesn’t matter. This is the reason why some relationships do not last long. When you do not challenge and make an impact in a relationship you cease to be seen important.
It is important to give two sides of the coin about yourself this will bring out your personality. If everything is centered on wanting to please others people will know who you really are. Let your heart speak for you and you will never regret anything.

Living up to Your Dreams

Living up to one’s dreams is a rewarding accomplishment. During childhood everyone dreamt about what they would like to be when they grow up. It was a happy moment since as a child all dreams were taken seriously. Those who guard their dreams from childhood to adulthood are quite few. As we grow up things change physically, emotionally and mentally depending on what we exposure ourselves to. Influence of parents and the environment can change our dreams. This is the reason why some people settle at less than their potential. An independent minded person is likely to live up to his/her dreams since he/she is able to guard them from discouragements. It is worthwhile for people to understand that living your dream is not an easy task. It takes courage and energy to push dreams to a reality.
When someone commits himself to live up to his/her dreams, it means that such a person is a risk taker. People fear taking risks hence they limit themselves from achieving their dreams. A risk taker is able to identify opportunities available and use them to reach his dreams. When deciding to follow dreams, there are no limits to life time goals no matter the obstacles that come on the way. Focusing on the dreams means you believe that all dreams make a reality in the end.
What deprives people of the courage to live up to their dreams is the fact that they lack confidence in themselves. Many watch their dreams die slowly without making an effort to revive them. There is no limit to how much we should dream, everyone is entitled to dream regardless of age. Dreams are a source of prosperity in life, when you achieve one you look forward to achieving the next. Achieved dreams are a source of happiness in a person’s life the more you dream the more you increase chances of improvement.

Having the Right Attitude

Attitude is one amongst the most important attributes to a successful future. A person with the right attitude motivates his/her self and others to see opportunities that may otherwise be overlooked. During difficult situations, people with poor attitude are at risk of giving up but it takes the right attitude to see an opportunity out of it. Attitude may be as small as it appears but, it is what lies between success and failure. It distinguishes one person from the other since a bad attitude is noticeable from a distance and often ignored. People desire to be successful and would always look for people with the right attitude to partner with.
When a person has the right attitude nothing can stand in the way to a fruitful future. When there are difficulties in such a person’s life, there are always options to reach desired goals. The right attitude means positive thinking and hence everything else follow suit. A positive thinker is a confident person who always believes that nothing is impossible. When you start thinking positively, it means you have already achieved half of your goals.
A person with the right attitude is a leader and a mentor. When a person goes through a difficult situation and comes out victorious then that become a motivation to others. In that case, such a person is expected to understand other people and help them improve on their attitude. Having the right attitude is enough to gain one respect from the society. When people find it easy to interact with you and share their problems, it means you have the right attitude.
