Work-life balance is unique to each of us because we each have different priorities and lives. However, two important everyday notions that are relevant to each of us lie at the heart of a good work-life balance definition. They are daily Achievement and Enjoyment, ideals that are almost deceptively simple. Achievement and enjoyment are the front and back sides of the value coin in life. One cannot exist without the other, any more than a coin can exist with simply one side. Trying to live a one-sided life explains why so many "successful" individuals are unhappy, or are not as happy as they could be. You cannot get the most out of life unless you have both Achievement and Enjoyment. Avoiding the "As Soon As Trap" by focusing on Achievement and Enjoyment every day of your life.   Prioritizing your career and personal life in today's hectic world can be difficult. However, research shows that a poor work-life balance can lead to unhealthy levels of stress, unhapp...

Setbacks in life result in some form of emotional tension. As a result, you feel feelings of regret, grief, fury, and self-blame. You're surrounded with doubt. It's difficult to remain calm during difficult times.  I can speak from personal experience, including having my car stolen from me by someone I trusted, who I still can't find, losing a plot of land I bought due to litigation issues that surfaced after we had done our due diligence and purchased the land, Having my wife's cold store and provision shop shut down after all the money we invested in starting the business. The store was closed as a result of a problem with the premises we rented from the landlord, who failed to disclose the problem to us, and a whole lot more. It's been a very difficult period, to put it mildly. However , one thing I do is to b e  patient. Be  patient and ask yourself, "Will this matter a year from now?" Every challenge and adversity does not come to weaken you. If you ...

Quitting? Not an Option for me. Persistence in doing something despite difficulty or delay in achieving success. Many times in life we are faced with so many challenges and at times the going gets so tough that you just want to quit. I have been there and still go through stuffs till date but one thing I have told myself is that No matter the situation I find myself in at every point in time I will never take my eyes off the prize I have set for myself, that is to become the best in what so ever I set my mind to do. Once you live on this planet Earth you can never be free from Life’s lessons but one thing you must bear in mind is  don’t let your immediate environs & words of discouragement from others suppress you. Just stay focused, be committed to whatever you're doing, and be willing to learn new things every day. I assure you that you shall definitely succeed in the long run . I have come to understand life in my own little way from the experiences I have had.  Honestl...

  Proverbs 18:21 21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Words have life. As parents, we must always be mindful of the words we use or say to our children. That is why motivational speakers and self-help books promote positive self-talk and speaking your desires into your life. With this in mind, I strive to be extremely deliberate in my vocabulary and conversations with and around my children. One of the most important things I have learned having 3 of my own children is that they absorb much more than one might think. They hear, process, and internalize conversations around them, especially when the topic relates to them. They are often aware and listening even when adults think that they are unaware, playing or distracted. It is important to recognize the impact of statements made in front of children. When speaking to children, there are a number of things we need to keep in mind. There are many more, but these are ju...

  Forex trading is the process of speculating on currency prices to potentially make a profit. Currencies are traded in pairs, so by exchanging one currency for another, a trader is speculating on whether one currency will rise or fall in value against the other.  The value of a currency pair is influenced by trade flows, economic, political and geopolitical events which affect the supply and demand of forex. This creates daily volatility that may offer a forex trader new opportunities. Online trading platforms provided by global brokers like Deriv mean you can buy and sell currencies as well as  Synthetic Indices  from your phone, laptop, tablet or PC. Deriv Synthetic Indices are the  most popularly  traded assets in Africa. This is despite them being relatively new instruments and being offered  by only one broker  in the financial market.
