The World we live in

Perfectionism is not the best trait to have as a person. Doing something in the right way makes us feel like we know what we are doing and that we hate not know how to do things. Trying to do something in the best manner possible is not a crime, but dying for it to go perfect is a problem. Perfectionism makes an individual happy when they do things perfect and upset if they do not. It is not about doing you best or getting it right, it is about doing what you are doing to the maximum level of perfect. The implications with this is that one cannot do something perfectly, then they are upset and feel like they are a complete failure. It also creates fear of trying something new as they become concerned of not being able to do what needs to be tried right. This can lead an individual to fall behind as their mindset becomes, I either I am good at it or I will not try it. Failure is a natural process in our lives. Since we were born we always failed as we learnt more and more abou...

We have people in our life that stand by us through thick and thin, through the hardest times of our lives. These people take pride in being our shoulder to cry on when we need a place to cry, they take pride in our success and congratulate us for our efforts. However, a lot of the time we abandon these people, we chase after others who do not need our time and try to please them even though it does not not make them any better to us. As people we should acknowledge those who acknowledge us rather than chase the approval those who do not need our time. We should applaud them for standing by our side through thick and thin, being there for us when we needed them most and being there just to give a kind word. We should applaud those who give us the sincerest adivce to keep us on the righ track and not those who aim to see you fail over and over again. We should give our time to those whom our success makes them happy and we are happy with theirs and not those who feel a bitter tast...

Kids and chores seem to be two words that do not make a match, especially in the world of a kid. Chores are oftenly done by parents as its usually a war to get kids to participate or we sometimes feel that they will do it wrong and that they take their time. Chores is a great way for kids to participate and develop skills that will help them in their future. Here is a number of ways chores can help kids: -  Helps them life skills Chores helps kids experience what the world of work has in store for them. In the working world or in schools and universities work will be assigned to complete tasks and you are expected complete them on time and in the manner you are expected to complete it in. By doing chores kids will develop this ability as they will learn to adapt to the time you expect them to finish and the manner in which you want the chores to be completed . Through this they will learn time management and everything needs to be done at a set time and this will be nee...

Sometimes as people we are the ones who burden ourselves in ways that are not necessary and one of the biggest ways we do is by aiming to be what we are not. We love to be what we are not, trying to be a person that is not us by wearing the mask of another. We do not develop our sense of self but try to live the life of another and this leads us to insecurities and self-doubt. The reason for this is that we want to live the life of another by burying the real us deep inside and each time the real us stares at us, we continue to lock it up by looking for more things and others techniques on how they live.   This leads us to something called overconsumption and begin to hurt ourselves as we always want what we do not have but are never thankful for what we already have. We may be healthy, fit, have the necessities in our lives but we continue to see our lives empty because we are focused on what’s missing, not what’s already there. This leads to overconsumption as w...

As people, we are always concerned with our outward appearence and being successful with high intelligence and wealth. Not many of us concern ourselves with our attitude and the way we behave, we rarely concern ourselves with the way we speak, act and behave to those we know and do not. Thus we have become a people with pretty bodies, great paperwork and resumes and a stable income with bad attitudes. We have no respect for no one and have become individualists who only care about themselves and only help others if it is in our own benefits and interests. We never help others if we are not going to get anything out of it and this is not good because we do not treat people the way we want to be treated. We love to get help, to be treated with respect and honour, so why cant we do the same. When we help others we are doing oueselves a favour, we are softening our hearts and looking at life from others perspectives. We become thankful when we see someone in a worse condition and real...

Trying new thing and having new hobbies is very important. Trying new things allows us to learn new skills and talents that we have never known we had.  We never know what we are good at until we try something new. New hobbies also gives us the confidence to not hold ourselves back but to immediatly find ourselves confortable in new situations. When we learn to ride a bike or swim or play a particular game, we never know we never know whether we are good at it or not. But we oftenly have pre-thought ideas of how bad we are at it or how we are going to be embarrased when we do a mistake. Mistakes are needed to reach perfection, you can't be good at something without failing and practicng over and over again. When you start to learn to walk, you fall over countles amount of times but we keep getting up until we learn to walk. The same goes for writing, our handwriting starts of shaky but through practice we get it right. Trying something new as long as it is a good hobby and s...

As people, we love to surround ourselves with people. It makes us feel wanted and special but is it worth it to surround ourselves with everybody we meet. There is nothing wrong with surrounding ourselves with people but its got to be people worth spending time with. Not everybody is worth our time, some people don’t deserve to be given an extra minute while some people are worth the time. Here are some people who are worth our time and those that are not: 1. Respectable people Respectable people do not necessarily mean people of wealth and status, but it can also be people with great characters and attitudes. Someone who respects those around them and always has a positive onlook to life is respectable and worth the time. They do their best to make the most of life, even if it looks like its not in their favour and they always have something positive to say. Such people always show that there is more to life than whats obvious and have a good character to to it up . 2. People wh...
