WORRY


”People become attached to their burdens sometimes more than the burdens are attached to them.”
– George Bernard Shaw 

Should you stop worrying today because you can't have everything under control, no matter how well you plan?

Hmm, let's see... 

Sometimes, we make life and at other times life makes us. But this often depends on the choices we make, and how we respond to circumstances both within and outside our locus-of-control. 

Everything we worry about falls into two prevalent categories:

i. The Things We Can Change: this comprises of our reactions, decisions, actions, attitudes, habits, style, environment, quality of life and beliefs.

ii. The Things We Can't Change: this comprises of facts, chance occurrences, and other people's philosophies of life. 

Hence, judging from the insights above we need never have to worry about nothing if we can or cannot change it. However, what we should do instead of indulging the act, worrying; are: practicing mindfulness, positive thinking and taking actions aimed at finding solutions. 

Worrying is an "exercise in futility" with many costly effects on mental and physical health.

You would therefore agree with me that, you should stop worrying today because you can't have everything under control, no matter how well you plan.

I leave you with this deep quote by Leo F. Buscaglia - “Worry never robs tomorrow of its sorrow, it only saps today of its joy."

WINNING PEOPLE OVER

Image
We all have a few things in common: we want to be liked, loved and happy. Some people make us feel special, others make us feel significant, while others can make us discouraged, small and unimportant. The saying goes, “how you make others feel about themselves, says a lot about you” reigns true. When you lack ability to make people feel good about themselves it does nothing more than showcase your own raggedness for the world to see.  As leaders who believe that people matter, we must become masters at making people feel great – to build and maintain lasting relationships, to consistently influence (in a good way) the people around us, to always make people feel better about themselves, and to become the kind of people everyone wants to be around.    Some tips on making people feel great about themselves include:
