What You See Is Not Always What You Get

A few months ago, I started learning about diet and nutrition. My goal was to eat more healthy in order to increase my energy.

One trick I learned was to always read food labels.
They tell you the truth.

You see, food companies spend billions of dollars on marketing and packaging so you don't pay attention to what's really inside your food.

Breakfast cereals are the perfect example of this.
They are designed to appeal to children, while having text that is intended to reassure parents about the cereal's nutritional value.

But in reality, cereals are loaded with sugar, and poor in nutrients. It's only by reading the label that you realize it.

So, what does this all have to do with guys and women who are trusting God to find that special someone?

Well, when you meet a person for the first time, all you see is the well-designed packaging. Some women for example, it's the make-up, the hair, the sexy dress or the cleavage.
But what you see is not always what you get.

You have to read the "label", too. This is the person's character - how they behave and think.
People who skip reading the label end up with the wrong relationship partner, wasting time and being left miserable.

You can appreciate what you see, but you can't stop there. You have to look into his/her character to know who you're REALLY dealing with.

Have an amazing day!

Why Your Beliefs Is Critical To Your Result

Few weeks ago, I attended an interesting webinar on the psychology of success. It was great, and I took a lot of notes. There was this female facilitator on the program who shared how, every time she was after a goal, she seemed to just give up when she was close to success. She was very ambitious and educated, but every time she was about to succeed, she dropped her efforts. In the course of speaking, she revealed that she grew up in a small, remote village in Africa, where the only women who had money and status were PROSTITUTES. So, she developed the belief that, if she became successful, people would think she's a prostitute. It was totally irrational, and she knew it. But the belief was so strong and ingrained in her subconscious mind that she kept sabotaging herself. A belief can destroy or build your life. I met students on campus who had EVERYTHING to excel in their fields of study, but always found a way to dread pushing themselves... It's...

Understanding Basic Business Etiquettes

If you're in business or even an employee, you cannot underestimate the importance of business etiquettes. Demystifying etiquette rules across multiple business-related scenarios is the focus of this article. But before we hit the ground running, it's best to level off everyone on what etiquette means. We would also look at the many ways business etiquette can improve a company or an organizational bottom line. Josy Roberts, author of 'Business Etiquette: Your Questions and Answers', defines etiquette as 'conventional rules of polite behaviour.' They are guidelines on how to behave befitting good manners while in the company of other people. They show sensitivity to the needs and feelings of the person or people that you are with. Etiquette covers most aspects of social interactions, including self-presentation, communication, courtesy, and hospitality. Business etiquette, in particular, covers expectations in the interactions between co-workers, the company a...

A Must Read For Every Serious Income Earner

Recently, I was revising the notes I took from a business training I attended sometime ago, so I decided to share with you an incredible business insight that will change your perspective. Between earning linear income and passive income, which is better? Well, to make sense of the question, let's attempt a distinction between linear and passive income. If you're being paid once per month for the work or services that you have provided, chances are you're earning a linear income. Linear income is also called active income, where you earn one unit of income for one unit of your effort. To earn a linear income you also need to be present at your supposed workplace. Hence, doctors, lawyers, hawkers, or practically every employed or self-employed person are earning linear income. If they don't attend to their clients, they don't get paid. What about passive income? It is an income that you continue earning even when you're not working. ...
