Going Through My Archives (1)

When challenges of life overwhelms you and when you are constantly thinking may be you need some time off work or your business, then its time to go through your archives..to remember the landmarks or milestones you have passed through in life.

When you are beginning to lose that trust and faith in your abilities, when you're constantly thinking if your aspirations are worth all the troubles, then its worthwhile to think through what you've been through to get to where you are today..and that’s exactly what I'm doing this week. I have so much in front of me, that in the dead of the night I'm just wondering if I'm not running crazy or if these things are possible at all. Then I went to my old file that contained all the stuffs I used to write and scribble down back in my university days and there I found great strength and resolve to forge ahead... So this week I'll like to share some of those writings with you..it did inspire me and many of those around me 7 -10 years ago and I do hope it is 21st century compliant! I hope in those pieces of mine you will find a great resolve to remember where you're coming from and the things you desire to contribute to make our world a better place.

Everyday throughout this week I'll sort through my archives and post any piece that I find to be inspirational, impactful and could be relevant to you.

Why are some people more successful than others? I thought diligence, discipline and prayers are enough to make a man / woman successful...Someone says 'I've tried my best but yet still failed...I did all I know to do yet it amounted to average.

Our attitude or personality goes a long way to determine if we will be outstandingly successful or not. I believe success comes not by much 'doing' but by much 'being'. A man's success lies in who he actually is, not what he does. There are some attitudes or personality traits that must me persistently cultivated for a man to be a success.

Attitudes, Character, Motives, Purpose are powerful expressions that must be properly understood before launching out to fulfill a specific task.

Who are you? What is the reason for doing what you choose to do?
