People who succeed are those people who are happy with what they do. They are not ashamed to toil their hands and work hard. They are not selfish to share talents, but generous to serve. They are those who know how to balance work and play. They are the people who find meaning in life.
Success is not just acquiring wealth, but being contented with life and work.
Work is a calling. It is a vocation of life. Like all parts of the body, each person is valuable to a group or community. Each person plays a part to make the world a better place to live in. Each person needs to support the community in the job (big or small) he has. In God’s eyes, everyone is the same. Each person deems a duty to God and others. Fulfilling a duty is success already.

Stop thinking, “If only…”
When doing something, you should do it with your whole heart. The mind has limits, but the heart has no limits to work. Mistakes can be corrected and the blaming part should stop.
Many would say:
“If only had I worked for the right company.”
“If only I was able to finish my college.”
“If only I had the powerful connections.”
These are tags of disappointments and unending regrets. A good worker moves on, if an inch each passing day. Your life is in the actions you make.
Act now.
Time is money. Know that we all have 86,400 seconds everyday. Avoid people who always complain. A person who always complains is nobody’s friend. Avoid negative people.
Spend each day wisely, accomplishing something good for yourself and others.
Count your blessings.

A long time ago, I had a boss who wanted everything yesterday. He wanted things when he wanted them – no exceptions. I can’t tell you how many times I heard him say, “Joe or Mary are exactly the kind of people I want on my team. They are always quick to take action.” Most of the time, they were successful. They didn’t hesitate, and it appeared to everyone they possessed the courage, instinct and emotional intelligence to get things done.
We all want to take action quickly, but sometimes we wait for the perfect data. We wait… wait some more… and the perfection never arrives. To help yourself move forward, ask these questions:
1. What do I want? – Visualize the outcome you want. Look at it in terms of the best outcome you can imagine.
2. What might happen? – Yes, what might happen if you did move forward and you were successful? What are the positive outcomes?
3. What if it doesn’t work? – This allows you to understand all potential outcomes. You will see that there will be something positive no matter the choice you make.
4. If my life depended on taking action, what would I do? – I know this one is a bit extreme, but there are times when people need to realize that it’s time to move forward. Don’t be stuck forever.
5. What is the little voice telling me not to do? - In coaching, we call this voice the gremlin. He is the negative voice in your head that causes self-doubt. If permitted, the gremlin can paralyze you. The best thing to do is acknowledge him, know he will be there, and then tuck him away.
As you transition into a new year, this time holds the possibility of inspiring deep reflection – with emotional honesty – about where you are right now in your life. While you reflect on what you consider a beautiful and loving life, I point you to begin with your internal state rather than external circumstances and the search for something ‘more’. The discovery of what is already here within you – and the inner confidence that is created from that – makes all the difference to the quality of your life and the difference you make to others.
The paradox is that we are essentially spaciousness/stillness/presence when we fall back into ourselves, and we are human beings with minds, bodies, jobs, and families. In essence, as spaciousness, our true nature eternally rests in love and beauty. As humans, we get locked into the stories that the mind creates and feel disconnection and lack.
When we realize that we are not the mind (think of the analogy – we are the ocean, the mind is a bucket in the ocean), we can then use our mind as a tool to support the essence of who we are. We have the ability to take the mind less seriously when it creates chatter that is meaningless, critical, untrue, and part of the old conditioning built into our nervous systems.
We see clearly. We feel inspired to act rather than forcing ourselves to take action. A deeper meaning to our life unfolds and, from that place, love and beauty naturally arises into reality – from the inside out.
I suggest the following process as a way to support you in more deeply exploring this way of life:
- Set aside a time just for you. Gather your materials – scissors, glue, bulletin board paper, magazines that speak to you.
With the advancement in modern technology nowadays a keynote speaker can perform their speech even without being in the same room as the audience. Speakers can deliver their speech and discussion even if they are not in the same room as their audience. They use what’s called video conferencing and it is now more used in meetings and video conferencing. Keynote speakers simply uses video conferencing software, a web camera and a steady internet connection and simply contact the event organizer to patch them through to their audience by using the same video conferencing software they are using and they can now be seen and heard by their audience. Here are a few reasons why keynote speakers use video conferencing or video call for their presentation.
A. Some keynote speakers may be unable to make it to the event due to unforeseen circumstances, so they use video call or video conferencing so they can still speak at the event even though they are not physically present. A speaker can simply be in their living room while giving a lecture that is a hundred miles away. They can even see their audience so they can also take in queries and show them visual aids related to their discussion.
B. Keynote speakers only use video conferencing in the event that they couldn’t make it to the affair. One other reason is if they are in the hospital due to catching a bug or simply physically not fit to go to the event. This is the time when they make use of video conferencing and video calling. Even when they are at the hospital they can still give out their lecture or their discussion. Speakers can even give their discussion while they are still in bed if they are unable to walk around because of being sick.
On several occasions I have noticed that an idea that was rejected years earlier is readily accepted today. It prompted me to think “If we had only implemented it before we would have been ahead of the curve.” In this article we will look at a couple of criteria that influence an idea’s success and how can we determine the right time to push to implement it.
Factors influencing the success of an idea
The success of an idea depends on two criteria:
- It has to be good.
- The environment has to be right for it to thrive.
In the long run, good ideas stand the test of time. But it is difficult to predict if an idea will survive in the long run. Even if it is good, there is no guarantee that it will be accepted. There are a litany of cases where good ideas were rejected due to prevailing norms only to resurface and thrive when the environment was more conducive to their implementation. Conversely, several ideas were considered good initially failed miserably. So the challenge is to figure out if and when the two criteria are met.
The right time to push an idea
It is difficult to determine the right time to push an idea. But there a few things that can help with the determination:
Determining if an idea is good
How does one know if an idea is good at the outset? Well, we don’t. It has to be tested first which can be accomplished in a number of ways.
- First, truthfully answer the following question, “Am I passionate about my idea?” If you do not believe in it, no one else will.
- Research if others have had the same idea. If it is backed by research is a good indicator of it’s validity.
