Accepting Responsibility for Positive Change

Image
Most times we don't readily accept the responsibility of being a leader; either due to the weight it carries, the thought of being constantly held accountable, or maybe because we just don't feel that we we deserve that title yet. So we skip rare opportunities to learn, grow, and impact the world around us. This loss however comes back to haunt us in ways that we never expect - and regret is the least costly price we have to pay.  Too often than not, we complain about how systems aren't working as well as they should, and sometimes, we even air out genius ideas and brilliant solutions with regards to what should be done to make positive long-lasting changes. But still, we shy away from the slightest opportunities given us by life to implement change. Everything that currently is, is a product of someone who at some point in time got very tired of waiting for someone else to get the job done, and instead took up the responsibility to effect change regardless of how many othe

  Book Of Chris: 🦌 Government is all about promoting the evolution of the people in the direction of human dignity. 🦌 Government gets power from being independent of politics. 🦌 The goal of politics is power. The goal of government is to make the system work best for the people.  🌡 Power has no morals, power is neither good nor bad - but power can be subverted and abused by those who have it.  🌡 Access to power, money, and knowledge give us the freedom to reveal our true selves.  🌡 Compromise is necessary for the peaceful coexistence of people.  🧘‍♂️ If you do what is necessary to realize the outcomes you want. You would get the outcomes you desire. 🧘‍♂️ Political power is POWER, and politics is necessary.  🧘‍♂️ Unopposed obedience is not the same as respect.  Visit www. elileojo. blogspot. come for more articles Leave a ❤️ if you liked this.

What Causes Addiction

Image
Although scientific studies prove that addictive habits stem from several factors such as genetics, environment, trauma, and loneliness; it is also important to note that a neurotransmitter called "dopamine" which plays a major role in reward-motivated behavior is mostly responsible for the pleasurable sensation (aka high) we feel when our needs are either being met or are about to be met.  This chemical causes us to develop strong tolerance for activities or things that make us feel good, and as such, pushes us to need more of a substance or an activity that feels pleasurable.  While people can get this chemical released by indulging in unhealthy practices and addictive habits like: alcoholism, drug abuse, porn, s*x, social media, unhealthy competition, shopping sprees, and binge eating - which come at a very expensive price. This same chemical can also be released by maintaining healthy lifestyle habits like: exercising, cleaning up, gardening, meditating, praying, connecti

 On this chapter of the Book of Chris : 🐬 Sometimes you have to kill a fly with a sledgehammer, and it's not just about that fly, it's about the other flies watching.  🐬 Some people are INVESTMENTS  and some people are BILLS. Know the difference.  🐬 Be comfortable with waiting a little longer for the things you deserve.  🐬 Networking is underrated. You can get rich just by having the right conversation with the right person.  🐬 Once in a lifetime you meet someone who changes everything. 🐬 Sometimes it's not about the place or the experience. It's about the person you're with. 🐬 Fun is yours. You define it. 🐬 Her mindset will raise your kids. Not her body and flawless looks. Choose wisely. 🐬 If you want to buy things without having to look at the price, work without having to look at the clock. 🐬 Two hustlers always make the best couple. A hustler and a leech will never make it together. 🐬 Struggle is temporary. Sacrifices are like investments. Give up the

Basics Of Motivating Your People

Image
Based on studies and observation I have come to realize that acts of encouragement, support, empowerment, and celebration more often than not are the most efficient tools to motivate adults and children to perform extraordinarily well at what they do. This is mostly because these acts (encouragement, support, empowerment, and celebration) create within them, an inner feeling of "I AM SEEN, VALUED, AND APPRECIATED" - which are very vital for building the confidence required to approach tasks or challenges with a winning mindset. Remember, humans are by default emotional creatures no matter how logical we sometimes are. Hence, to get the desired action/result from our kind, the right emotions first ought to be activated from within. How have you been motivating your people before now?
