We need to talk about this. Why do we work? Why do we go to school? Probably, why do we live? You see, our philosophy affects our approach in life. In the series we are debunking the statement that "once you have discovered you purpose, you will never work another day in your life". That statement is a philosophy that we need to examine. Listen to this.

Motivation is important for humans. If anything, I do think that we are the only species God created who need motivation to make things happen. Other species use instinct and survival. You never saw lions attending a seminar...anyway. Some motivation statements can be a lie, and one of them is "Once you have discovered your purpose, you will never work another day in your life." Listen to this.

Increasingly, people are being affected by mental health issues that result from participating in competitions. These could be for fun in sports or for serious things such as political elections.

Here are a few ways we can all handle this stress, win or lose.

Mental health issues related to competitions are increasingly taking a toll on people. They are being amplified in the sports world as well as in politics ever so increasingly.

It's a paradox. We get stressed out because we care. People who are not sports fans cannot be stressed by Arsenal not winning the title. Why? Because they don't care. They don't have their hearts into it. People who don't give a hoot about Trump or Biden can't be stressed when either loses the presidential race. Listen to this.

I have said in this new series that we live in a dark, fallen world. Whether we like it or not, we will find ourselves participating in a form of competition or another and we shall inevitably fail at some point in time. We need to realize that such failings have an impact on our mental health. How do we navigate them? Listen to this.

Someone said, "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn". It's just a fact of life. We are all steeped into different competitions at different junctures in our lives. Some of these competitions are institutionalized. The amazing thing is that we have not created structures to help mental health cases that come from losing a competition. Listen to this.

Looking at life critically, you realize that we are involved in many competitions. We are told that even before birth, there is a rush of millions of sperms to fertilize an egg. Competitions mark our lives all through...and the unfortunate thing is that for many competitions, there are losers. How do we handle that? Listen to this.

We live in a fallen black world. That the world is unfair is not a lamentation. It is a fact. Then, we have to contend with the fact that we are limited in many ways and are also imperfect. Still, we have goals, desires, dreams, wishes and visions to fulfill. How do we handle all that? Listen to this.
📢 New #Podcast!!
We have to be prepared psychologically for some things. Even as we are talking about us being limited and having imperfections, when we get started at something we are passionate about, one way or another, we have to anticipate some setbacks. Things might get worse before they get better. Listen to this.
📢 New #Podcast!!
So now that we are aware that our limitations and imperfections cannot stand on our way, we also need to be aware that they might not go away entirely. They will always be there with us. So if we are pursuing our goals and dreams, starting is critical, but keeping going is another ball game altogether. Listen to this.

There is no doubt that we are encumbered by many things from the time we are born and all through our lives. However, we need to realize that to succeed, the focus cannot be on our limitations and our deficiencies. The focus has to be on our individual selves, and our conditioning. Listen to this.
📢 New #Podcast!!
Imperfections and limitations are things that are part of our lives. It will be foolhardy to think that we need to work on our limitations and imperfections to remove them before we get started. Let's face it, we live in a fallen world and we are not angels by any means. What to do now? Listen to this.

We live in a dark and fallen world...and to add to that, we as humans are imperfect and are surrounded by limitations. Nevertheless, people have made it in life and achieved their goals. The nucleus of success is not groupings but individuals, even with their limitations. Listen to this.

Elon Musk when he became the richest man on earth in January 2021, he was tagged on a tweet about the breaking news. His response to the news was just two tweets from which we can learn one or two things about wealth. Here is the summary of it all. Listen to this.
📢 New #Podcast!!
I have always said that the lessons about wealth to learn from wealthy people are not many. They are very few...probably less than five.

Listen to this.

Incidentally, there are not so many lessons you can pick from wealthy people. The lessons that matter are very extremely few, and when it comes down to it, it seems like it is a no brainer.
Today, let us start dissecting the first lesson that I picked up when Elon Musk was declared the wealthiest man on earth in January 2021. Listen to this.

How do you see and recognize genuine love? Even before that question is answered, it is correct to say that all of us want this genuine love. We have been wired to want it. At times our very productivity is connected to this genuine love. So how do we spot it? How do we deploy it? Listen to this.
