New Year Resolutions…?

Do you believe in new year resolutions…?

The above-mentioned question was posed to me by the President of our Toastmasters Club – Soweto Positive Speakers Toastmasters Club. She did not want me to give her a straight answer, I had to make an impromptu speech about it.  I was not expecting her to choose me to make an unprepared speech, as she posed it to me i was of the impression that I had to give her an answer and continue with what I was doing and thinking at the time.

I stood up and thought, I am here to learn and improve my ability to think on my toes and still deliver and effective speech in a short space of time. Damn! I was a bit nervous, but I implemented what I had learned from the toastmasters manuals. I controlled and managed the butterflies, that wanted me to shiver. i was not going to allow the unknown fear to control me. I had to set an example to our club guests, and show them how we do it at toastmasters.

Personally I do not believe in making resolutions. I believe in continuing to implement goals that I had set in my life plan. It is of no use to continue to have a different goal(s) at the beginning of a new year. I am consistent on what I need to achieve in life, career and business. All I can do is just to divide my goal(s) into sub-goals and implement each goal on a yearly basis, depending how huge my main goal is. To some people resolutions are the way they do things in their lives and it works for them or it works for you too. I prefer not to be a resolution man.

In support of resolution, I would say better make and stick with your new year resolution, instead of having nothing at all. Resolution(s) and goal(s) serve a guides as to how do we want to be where we desire to be in life. It is upon an individual to have consistent goals or make new year resolutions. As long as you are progressing positively in your life.

I am not a resolution man, and I do not think I will change how I view resolution making.

I Am Inspired…

I am inspired

I just woke up feeling happy and excited. I have never felt like this in ages, I am inspired. I wish you could all feel the way I feel.

My message for you today is, look around your environment and find something that would trigger your inspiration. Inspiration is the energy that drives us to do things that we need or have to do without feeling lazy. I will be attending a toastmasters meeting in Soweto – Diepkloof.

I love this beautiful feeling that is sparked by my inspiration.

Be inspired, I am inspired.

Never discourage anyone…

“Never discourage anyone…who continually makes progress, no matter how slow.”

This is my first post for 2012, I will keep on updating my blog as often as I could and when I get inspiration to share with u my stories, feelings and words of wisdom.

People are not the same and we will never be the same. If you really prefer to do things in a particular way and it works for u, never expect the next person to do things the way you do them. Generally we do things in a way that suits and satisfies us. The most important thing is doing right things at the right time in a way that will satisfy you.

Noone should be discouraged from doing things the way they do them, even if they may seem to be slow. People who are perceived to be slow people do make progress in the things that they do, they don’t deserve to be discouraged. These people deserve support and encouragement. You are not better than anyone just because you are always faster than others, that is not even your passport to discourage anyone.

To our success
