Believe In Yourself

Whether you call it self-esteem, self-confidence or self-assurance, it is a deep seated belief that you have what it takes – the abilities, resources, talents and skills to create what it is that you want.

Believing in yourself is a choice; In fact, it is an attitude you develop over time. Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers, you cannot be successful or happy.

Why is it so important to believe in yourself? It is because it be lucky enough to have people who believe in you and encourage you but if you don’t believe in yourself dear, nothing will work. A sense of inferiority and inadequacy will always interfere with the attainment of your hopes. Its time to quit blaming others and take 100% responsibility of your life. It is your responsibility to take charge of your own self concepts and beliefs.

The biggest difference I’ve noticed between successful and unsuccessful people isn’t intelligence or opportunity or resources. Its the belief that they can make their goals happen. We all deal with vulnerability, uncertainty and failure so even if you fall, pick yourself up and don’t stop believing in yourself.

6 Ways GOSSIP Can Help You Succeed

Why should GOSSIP be a bad thing?

Now just because GOSSIP has been frowned upon and is perceived as a negative behavior, doesn’t mean that it can’t be used in a positive way.

Do you know that GOSSIP is actually good and useful? Do you know that GOSSIP is what makes human society as we know it possible?

The Research on the positive effects of GOSSIP is so much on the increase. Scientist has finally deduced that GOSSIP is not just about humiliating or making people to cry, it is life-enhancing and life-saving. It also can have a positive impact on health, success and even team cohesion at work.

So before you infer that I am crazy and you are ready to fire me with your opinion which I do appreciate, here are 6 ways GOSSIP can help you to succeed:

Mindset Is Everything

There is something I have noticed that limit our achievements and prevent us from living our dreams; we allow our MINDSET and thoughts to enslave us and hence, we live our fears.

Often times we want to do something/carry out a task/perform a function…, even with all the necessary resources available, we still let our MINDSET deceive us. It makes us think: we’re ready not, we don’t have what/all it takes, we cannot excel where many others failed, we can do it no better, we’re incapable, we’re less-privileged and all that. It’s not as if we really can’t do those things; but we’ve allowed our MINDSET render us handicap. It has now become a
habit….

So What Are You Doing About It?

I was being naughty with my all time naughty friend yesterday when I told him how flat I want my tummy to be so I can break the Internet with some sexy bikini pictures and maybe land on Linda Ikeji …LOL

He looked at me in his usual sexy geeky manner and said ‘so what are you doing about it?’

Well…we talked about what I am doing about it which was basically plans in my head – Plans waiting for the appropriate time. Procrastination!

Healthy Food To One Person May Be Unhealthy To Another

We are fond of saying ‘on man’s food is another man’s poison’ and that is exactly what came to mind when I saw this post written by Alice G. Walton on Forbes on ‘Why Healthy Food To One Person May Be Unhealthy To Another’. Most people tend to generalise on things that are appropriate for individuals or things we think should be appropriate, forgetting that we are uniquely different in our own various ways. From our thoughts, to our metabolism, orientation, etc.

No Safe Period For Men!

Do you know about Safe period? And do you have accurate information? Can you calculate your own as a woman?

First of all there is NO such thing as a safe period in men. Anyone who tells you that has evil intentions. Only a castrated man is safe. As the name says, safe period refers to the days in a woman’s menstrual cycle when she is “safe” & the risk of getting pregnant is slim. It means if a woman understands her body & her cycle very well, the knowledge of the safe period can help to prevent unplanned pregnancy. However a little disclaimer is appropriate here; Safe period is NOT an absolute way of preventing pregnancy but it reduces the risk a lot. So how can a woman determine accurately her safe period?

Jolting Heart

You think you are so strong until you realize your emotions can weigh you down faster than anything else. We think the only force against the ones being single comes from outside but mostly it comes from within. It is very easy to pull it off when you have yourself synced into work and other stuffs that can take up all your spare time, living nothing but sleep time and little or no hang out or personal time.

She Saying ‘No’ To Your Proposal Doesn’t Make Her A Fool

Considering the fact that valentines day was two days ago, this type of gist is quite expected. People can be very pathetic and it will be best if you do not regard praises from anyone. Not in the real world and DEFINITELY not on social media.

Why You Should Not Rush Into Marriage – Nollywood Actress, Tina Mba

When I talk about how men and woman should take their time before entering the marital institution, some say I talk about being single a lot. Probably we would coin some wisdom from this little excerpt from the mother of two, Tina Mba while on set of Africa Magic’s ‘Jara’ TV show with Helen Paul and Uti Nwachukwu.

When Love Says Yes

Before now I had told myself that writing anything about love is pointless, and that it does nothing to make you feel better. In fact, I was of the opinion that writing about love, especially in its favor is a sign of weakness, and I personally do not like coming off as weak (Yea Yea). Anyway, I think I am ready to say my bit on love and what it does. Indulge me a bit as I try to express myself on this rather intricate issue.

Where is the LOVE?

It is shocking and however amazing when you see sad, crying and heart break smiley with the deceased pictures almost on all profile DP’s, the very moment the passing away of the deceased is announced. Everyone becomes a poet, giving attributes about 70% the deceased never knew he or she ever possessed while on earth. At death, the deceased becomes famous and possibly the best person who ever lived, you begin to see all kinds of pictures you have never seen.
