Determining if an individual is committed to self-improvement is a complex question that varies from person to person. People want to improve their lives but lack a clear plan for their goals.

They might have envisioned what constitutes self-improvement and an ideal life but struggle to initiate the necessary actions to realize these aspirations.

Individuals face challenges on their personal development journeys. Others believe that external factors such as obtaining a better job, encountering more opportunities, or finding a significant other will resolve their issues and lead to happiness. They often attribute their happiness to external circumstances rather than thoughts and actions.

Others may think that increased financial resources would enable them to attain their desires and improve themselves. These individuals might spend minimal time contemplating their life goals. They may feel powerless to create their ideal existence, relying instead on chance events like winning the lottery.

Many People are unsure about their life goals and what would truly bring them fulfillment. Such individuals often drift through life with little more than a day-to-day approach, securing adequate employment and living comfortably without aspiring for anything beyond their current situation.

Self-improvement is significant. Throughout our lives, growth and development are constant. Life’s circumstances necessitate our continuous learning and adaptation, even in the absence of a conscious decision to do so. From formal education at an early age to experiential learning later in life, we must develop to navigate life’s challenges effectively.

In today’s fast-paced world, there are unprecedented opportunities for personal and professional advancement. However, this also brings heightened competition and rapidly evolving technology, making job security increasingly rare. It has become common to frequently change jobs or even switch careers and industries entirely throughout our working life.

Ambitious individuals seeking success understand the necessity of acquiring new skills and knowledge to maintain a competitive edge. This commitment to self-improvement is crucial for job retention, career progression, and employability across various organizations and industries. Dedication to self-improvement can impact prospects.

Christmas at Downton Abbey (2CD)

Christmas is a special time where kids are happy and want to show it by going to Christmas parties and singing carols and Christmas sing and there are lots of important and necessary things happening for everybody. It is really a time that everybody is looking forward to.  i remember as a little kid, this is a time that we are always looking forward to, because we always have fireworks and a lot of fun including going to parties and a lot of eating and drinking, it’s all fun time for all.

holiday

 

Christmas is a peaceful and mood changing period when everybody forgets about their life challenges, sorrows pains and whatever they are going through. It is a season of great impression on all grounds and it is a wonderful time that needs consideration by both kids and adults, so it’s a season of happiness, song, celebration and joy.  Christmas has always been a holiday celebrated carelessly, both pagans, Christians, millennia and Jews alike have become part of the season’s festivities, and it is only few people who consider the celebration’s intrinsic meaning, history, or origins. The joy of it is what really matters and not its origin.

Most of the most popular Christmas customs which  includes the Christmas trees, Christmas presents and Santa Claus.  Most people who are happily preparing for the Xmas celebrations would rather not know about the holidays real origin or significance. even if they know the history or origin of Christmas, they do not care because of the fun and happiness that it brings and that is what really counts or matters.

I remember the Christmas song:” Happy Holiday Happy holiday, happy holiday While the merry bells keep ringing May your every wish come true.  Happy holiday, happy holiday May the calendar keep bringing Happy holidays to you.  Come To Holiday Inn If you’re burdened down with trouble, If your nerves are wearing thin Park your load down the road And come to Holiday Inn.  If the traffic noise affects you Like a squeaky violin Kick your cares down the stairs And come to Holiday Inn.  If you can’t find someone who Would set your heart a-whirl Take your car and motor to The home of boy meets girl.  If you’re laid-up with a breakdown, Throw away your vitamin Don’t get worse, grab your nurse and come to holiday inn?” It would be a good thing to bring your family and friends together at this time of the year.  “Happy Holidays”.

DO YOU THINK PEOPLE CAN CHANGE?

HOW OFTEN CAN PEOPLE CHANGE?

Human nature is both flexible and rigid depending on how you want to apply it to change, it’s not always easy for someone to want to change from good to bad or from bad to good as the case may be ,but change to good and better life is a possibility, before we talk more lets ask ourselves what change really means, from my layman point of view change could be a situation where you are used to doing something which has become a habit or part of you and you are now planning on throwing that habit away because it affects you and you want the people arround you to see that you are a better person. It’s not always easy to bend a dry stick or else it will break but its easy to bend it a little. To make life different and to bring happiness upon yourself, you can bring change upon yourself.

change

I have seen many cases of people with different habits, change to good, but initially they will say i cant change this is the way i am, some have been into drugs, womanizing, smoking and other habits but out of determination they finally change for the best, which tells me that we are really flexible or rigid which ever way we want to apply it. however if we want to improve ourselves we can,it only takes determination, resolve and some effort’s, but we can all change our lives for the better if we want to, it is not always easy, it has to come from our heart to want to change for the better and changing has to be something that matters to us deeply. when the pain of changing is more than the pain of wanting to stay the same! , we will change.

there are so  many measure that is taken for change to happen:

  • The zeal and will to change

  • Determination to change for the better

  • The thought of realising,  that what we are doing is not the best for us

  • religion as a motivation for change

DO YOU THINK MONEY CAN BUY HAPPINESS?

VALUE OF MONEY AND HAPPINESS

WHERE TO SHOP

MONEY IS A NECESSITY WHICH CAN NOT BE AVOIDED, FOR WITHOUT MONEY SURVIVAL OF MAN IS TERRIBLE BUT MEASURING MONEY WITH HAPPINESS IS LIKE HAVING A TWO FACE COIN ON A SCALE AND TRYING TO COMPARE WHICH IS THE BEST.FROM EVERY POINT OF VIEW MONEY IS IMPORTANT IN A MANS LIFE AND SO ALSO IS HAPPINESS, FOR LIFE WITHOUT HAPPINESS IS NOT COMPLETE.

MONEY AND HAPPINESS

MONEY AND HAPPINESS GOES TOGETHER BUT CAN MONEY REALLY BUY HAPPINESS, I REMEMBER A SCENARIO I USED TO REMEMBER A LONG TIME AGO, THIS GIRL FELL IN LOVE WITH THIS MAN FOR HIS MONEY AND NOT FOR HIM AND AGREED TO MARRY HIM ON GROUNDS THAT SHE WILL BE HAPPY FOR THE SAKE OF THE MONEY, BUT THE REVERSE WAS THE CASE WHEN THIS MAN HAD NO TIME FOR HER BECAUSE HE CONCENTRATED MORE ON MAKING MONEY AND HIS BUSINESS THAN MAKING HER HAPPY AND SHE ENDED UP BEING FRUSTRATED BECAUSE THE LOVE SHE EXPECTED TO COME WITH THE MONEY NEVER CAME AND SHE REALIZED THAT MONEY IS NOT EVERYTHING EVEN THOUGH ITS AN IMPORTANT ELEMENT IN HER LIFE ,SO SHE MADE A CHOICE TO QUIT THE RELATIONSHIP AND GOT SOMEBODY ELSE THAT MADE HER HAPPY EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NOT ENOUGH MONEY BUT SHE WAS HAPPY AND THEY MANAGE THE LITTLE THEY HAD AND WERE HAPPY.

HAPPINESS COMES FROM WITHIN

THE ATTENTION MONEY GIVES IS ALWAYS VERY EXCITING,BUT FOR ME I WILL PREFER HAVING THE MONEY THAN NOT TO HAVE AT ALL, BUT AT THE SAME TIME  HAPPINESS CAN NOT BE OBTAINED BY TAKING POSSESSION OF A MATERIAL OBJECT.MONEY CANT GIVE YOU YOUR HEALTH BACK IF YOU ARE SICK  NOT AT ALL, ALTHOUGH IT CAN GIVE YOU A SENSE OF SECURITY AND FROM OBSERVATION I REALISED THAT MY POOR FRIENDS ARE MORE HAPPY AND COMFORTABLE THAN MY RICH FRIENDS.

Happiness (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

HAPPINESS IS A THING THAT IS ALWAYS  FROM WITHIN THE HEART AND ITS NOT A THING THAT CAN BE SOLD OR BOUGHT, BUT MORE OF A STATE OF MIND. SOMETIMES WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY MIGHT BE BOUGHT. MONEY SURELY CAN REDUCE STRESS IN A MANS LIFE BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT UNLIMITED MONEY SOMETIMES MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR SOME PEOPLE TO BE HUMBLE. SOMETIMES MONEY CAN BUY YOU LOVE, FREEDOM FROM CONTINOUS GRINDING AND WORRY , ALL OF WHICH CONTRIBUTE TO POTENTIAL HAPPINESS IN  A BIG WAY. FROM YOUR OWN POINT OF VIEW DO YOU THINK MONEY CAN BUY HAPPINESS?
