A Strategy that makes sense

A Strategy that makes sense

Quote of the Day

‘Life does not have to be complex, an agenda that is perplexed often leads to confusion. An agenda that is complexed often leads to procrastination. An agenda that is simplex often leads to accomplishment and fulfilment.’

Bonus Quote

Your agenda should instruct you rather than obstruct you. I always say instruct to construct rather than construct to obstruct.

Thank you for sharing your time with me today on this spectacular weekend of fun, merriment and rejoice. You earned it now go out there and enjoy it. Breathe in the freshness of a new weekend. Exhale the tiresome hours of the previous working week. Gather your thoughts and head straight for the door that opens into a kingdom of magic, splendour and grandeur. Today is Saturday, the start of your frivolous weekend. Yes, it is a weekend to be merry and playful. You worked hard and resilient over the past 5 days so why not pamper yourself with the finest that life can offer. What are your plans for the weekend? We stopped over at the port of relaxation enabling you to venture into a world of your very own. However all good things do come to an end. Weekends come and they go. So sitting at the back of your mind should be an aperture of what Monday and the days ahead of it will hold for you. You cannot ignore it so I say onto you think simple. Be simple and take on a workload that is simple. Does the Captain of your vessel take you on a complex journey over rapids, storms, breakers, strong winds or heavy fog? You need to keep it simple. Everything you do has to be simple. You need to eat simple, you need to exercise with simplicity, you need to commute with simplicity and you need to work with simplicity. Why? Because complexity makes you err, complexity makes you confused, complexity makes you procrastinate and complexity makes you difficult to understand. What is the purpose of your daily agenda? It is very easy to write one but is it easy to accomplish? If your agenda is confusing, non-coordinating and selfish there is a good chance that your day will be muddled and confused. There is also a good chance that you will be late, unpunctual and hesitant. You will not be coherent and you will be thinking of something else whilst working on a given task. You need to keep it simple. You need to break your day into tiny workable and doable modules with time allocations and understandable instructions. Your agenda should instruct you rather than obstruct you. I always say instruct to construct rather than construct to obstruct. Use your weekend as a mock exercise. I asked you earlier on what your plans are for the weekend. Is it going to be complex or simplex? Do you scurry along or do you take it in your strides. A weekend can also become exhausting if you do not plan and keep it simple. Decide on what you want to do and make it doable. Get help, participate, combine your efforts and make your weekend the start too many weekends to come that will fill your heart with joy, happiness and relaxation. Are you going out for the day or will you be at home? Either decision can make your weekends fall apart if you do not keep it simple. Life does not have to be complex, an agenda that is perplexed often leads to confusion. An agenda that is complexed often leads to procrastination. An agenda that is simplex often leads to accomplishment and fulfilment. I say onto you and verily too, be simple.

The Baker’s Dozen

Today’s Quote

‘I shall always follow a set of instructions that gives proven results timelessly.’

Success for successful people is not confined to a small minority but for the majority. Success is not rocket science but pocket compliance. We all think that we are made to live in poverty and to serve the rich endlessly. We are all human beings destined to live equally but differ in the way we want to live. To achieve this or rather to become successful is not rocket science but rather pocket compliance. Rocket Science is complexity alchemising from imagination to fascination. It takes the elements and marvels of Engineering into reality and brings forth space travel, space exploration, space station, satellites and efficient engines. Success on the other hand is simplicity and instructions to become successful can be recorded in a pocket book and if compliant can lead to a life of comfort and longevity. The question is how we can become successful. It is simple. It is pocket compliance. All you need to do is follow a set of instructions that has previously worked. There is one word in the Bakers Dozen that makes it different to The Entrepreneurial Dozen and that word is ALWAYS.

ALWAYS stands for Always Learn Whilst Achieving Your Success

Many of you go about your day without abiding by simple instructions. We drive over the speed limit. We don’t wait in queues. We always argue. We don’t love each other? We try to challenge rather than understand. Some of us do not believe in GOD or believe that GOD exists. We go to war. We abuse our natural resources. We waste. We do not save. We are constantly procrastinating. Successful people do not exceed the speed limit, they wait their turn, they do not argue, they love each other and everything that they see, they do not challenge and always learn to understand, they believe sincerely in Almighty GOD, they are peaceful, they do not abuse their natural resources and they certainly do not waste. Successful people always save and get the job done.

They Always Learn Whilst Achieving Their Success

They believe in the Bakers Dozen. They follow instructions that worked laid down previously by their ancestors. They may modify or tweak instructions to suit their circumstances but abide by the rules. Ladies and Gentlemen, Boys and Girls if you want to become successful you need to:

Always Learn Whilst Achieving Your Success

Knowledge is out there waiting to be absorbed by your individual needs. Love your life, live to love and love to live. Always live to be successful, always learn each day about new ideas, new habits and new ideologies. It is never too late to learn. There is no harm learning even when you are 100 years of age. The concept of living is to learn, learning to be successful and succeeding to live.

The Art of Gratefulness

Gratefulness comes to light when we realise the magnitude of the gifts that we already have. Can we see? If we can see are we able to see clearly into the past, present and future. Sight is not only what the eyes can see but also what the mind wants to see. Sometimes the mind can become too focused on external images that can be distracting or enticing. A well-focussed mind knows what to see and how to respond to what it sees. Sometimes there is a delusion. We see a pretty woman for example and suddenly we are deluded by showing lust rather than love. Can we hear and if we can what do we hear? Do we hear the sound of silence that permeates the air or do we get baffled with distorted sounds that make no sense. A vulgar word uttered to you can change your temperament and result in a negative consequence. However if you ignored it and just listened to the blissfulness of happy sounds your temperament will remain unaltered and so will your day. Being grateful is really an art. It is the faculty of a human being to remain humane at all times. It is about being simple in life rather than complex. Simplicity is about having the flair of naturalness. Naturalness is a genuine and sincere characteristic of a human being. A human being shows gratitude when gratitude is needed. They are thankful for little things as well as colossal achievements. They express their thankfulness in a kind way. They acknowledge the gift of life and the purpose of life. They recognise good from bad. They are generally humble in nature and respond in a humane way. They do not resort to vulgarism, hooliganism and vandalism. They do not take harshness to heart and focus on the job to be done. They are not easily distracted and neither do they distract. They believe in a purpose to life and are grateful for life itself and are willing and endearing to live onto to their rightful age of 100 years. Being grateful is a daily ritual that must be exercised with sincerity and lovingness. You need to be grateful to all and not one. You need to express your appreciation openly and to make it know to the recipient that you are and always will be thankful. This is the spirit we need to adopt for the new month in September.  

Quote of the day

‘Carrying the cradle of gratitude in your palms is like carrying a new-born child. There is purity in your eyes and clarity in your gesture. Your smile evokes a radiance that is befitting to austerity and the recipient of your expressions will acknowledge the warmth of your heart.’

With gratefulness you can open doors to new friends and rekindle relationships with lost friends. With gratefulness you can calm the storm of confusion and break the winds of destruction. Gratefulness is a faculty that you need to master and deploy in a variety of ways during your day and during your night. Gratefulness will carry you a long, long way into the openness of The Universe and into the passage of your eternal life. Enrol to a Full-Time degree in gratefulness and when you feel that you have qualified you can add the following after your name: BA in Gratefulness.
