Should I Speak Up Or Not?

   Buckley  Carthage  ⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛⚛ Through much of my life, I struggled with anger issues.   I am not entirely certain where they started or why they started.  I have some ideas but that is beside the point. I have, for many years, prided myself on speaking up when I am annoyed about something. This has often worked and helped to stop that annoyance from turning into anger, thus helping to avoid conflict. But there is a question there which needs to be addressed – do I speak up or, do I stay quiet? As I have gotten older ( I am 41) I have realised that in many situations, it is best to just acknowledge my feelings, take a little time to feel those feelings then; let it go and move on. In doing so, I have conditioned myself to get annoyed or angry with fewer issues. Most of the issues I used to get annoyed about are not worth my energy. They are just temporary annoyances which, if let go will quickly dissipate.  However, when my brother died last December, there was one person wh

  *DON'T BE TRICKED* #dailyPowerUp ⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲⛲ Ever fallen for that trick that says 'I will begin once I have that new gadget or 'system?" Only to discover months later that you are yet to take any step even after getting what you felt you needed? You think you can't begin because you are yet to enrol in that course or read that book. Hoping that you need to get it near perfect before you begin. Maybe you feel you need to work with a mentor, get to a better place, and so the list goes. You discover after getting that new thing you crave you will soon tell yourself you need something else! It is an endless circle. Procrastination is not often cured by getting more stuff, that's just a plausible reason for further procrastination. The real cure is to begin taking steps with what you already have. You can improve when you get something better but don't stop and wait until then. The danger is that while you are waiting time  does not! The smarter move is to do

How Do They Do It?

    Friend,  Article  By John Paul CEO For Smallstarter Business   🚩🏴🏳🏴🏳🏴🏳🏴🏴🏳🏴🏴🏳🏴⚛🚩🏴🚩🏴🏳🏴 How do you convince people to buy what you're selling? Many people use logic. Most people target the head. Maybe if you show people the benefits of using your product, you can convince them to buy, right? But guess what? Logic does not always work. And I'll give you real examples. Have you ever seen a CocaCola advert that shows the benefits (to your body) of drinking Coke? Have you ever seen a perfume ad that talks about the chemical formulas used to make the product? Have you ever seen a Rolex advert that says anything about the utility of wearing a watch that only tells the time? So, how come? How come all these very successful businesses make a lot of sales without actually saying much about the thing that they sell? Here's the secret: It's all about emotion. That's why you need to listen to this In this week's episode of the Smallstarter Business Podc

ARE YOU COMPLAINING?

 ARE YOU COMPLAINING? Written By Grace Obialor, And Work @ FRCN 🌽🌾🌿🍃🍂🌺 When situations get tougher as they are now, what do you do? Do you resolve in claiming and murmuring? No, they have never helped. When you grumble, it shows that your heart has departed from the Lord and you are no longer trusting him. Quicken your faith through reading the word of of God. 1st Peter 5:7- is encouraging us to cast all our cares upon HIM for HE cares for us. Psalm 55:22 - when you cast your cares and burdens upon the Lord HE shall sustain you. I encourage you to never give up but rather keep on declaring that the Lord is your  portion and keep believing that HE has the solution to all these situations. WE MUST CONQUER.

Better, faster, stronger  By Mark Manson  🔬🔭💊🚬 Welcome to another Mindf*ck Monday, the only weekly newsletter that eats the last slice of pizza and doesn’t give a shit if you were still hungry or not. Each week, I send you three potentially life-changing ideas to help you be a slightly less awful human being.  This week, we’re talking about reading habits and skills, since I’ve been getting a lot of questions about it the past few months. I’ve found there are a lot of misconceptions out there about how to read well, mostly picked up from when we were in grade school. In today’s email, we’ll cover the three most common questions I get in regards to reading non-fiction: 1)  How do you remember what you’ve read?  2)  How do you read faster?  And 3)  How do you read more? Let’s get into it. 

DON'T LOOSE A GOLD BECAUSE OF A GOAT.

 Single Ladies, hear me:-  DON'T LOOSE A GOLD BECAUSE OF A GOAT. (I don't mean to insult any). 💦💫💦💢💡💨 By Orji Victor The Writter  A lot of ladies have lost good husbands/marriage opportunities because they were waiting for someone who have never proposed or shown interest in them for marriage because they felt they love him or someone told them that the guys will marry them. Don't allow anyone's inbox chat or phone calls deceive you. Don't live on the false idea of he will marry you and don't allow anyone put the idea into you. If he never proposed, he is not yet for you and don't live as if he is yours because the right to choose is his and not anyone else. DON'T LOOSE GOLD WHILE WAITING FOR GOAT. ...Orji Victor CP #PstOrjiVictorCP #Dontbedecieved
