Ohteebee:
Quite a number of people live each day as it comes, clueless of what else the next minute holds.
They engage in so many things for the sake of seeking fulfilment, but keep going round the circles.

There are five major steps to coming out of this web of frustration, which I will quickly address.

1. The Listening Habit

The benefit of listening more than you talk can never be over emphasized. There are 101 things you are yet to learn, and if all you do is talk about the things you know, denying others the benefit of depositing some values in you, you will continue to remain where you are.

The more you listen, the higher your state of reasoning, that is like gathering knowledge from different angles, comparing and contrasting till you get the best of it.

Imagine if all you do is to give out, how then will you ever receive?


2. Setting Boundaries

There is this neighbour of mine who jokes a lot to the detriment of another. I mean, he can be so insulting and say things you will remember for life, all in the name of jokes.

I have been enduring his words just so I don't appear strict or unfriendly since no one else was complaining.

But at a point, I told him clearly to his face, right in the presence of everyone, never to say certain words to me again, I also made sure I warned him of his touchy ways. He wanted to laugh it off as usual, but I wasn't in for it. I stood my ground and created that boundary which brought back respect from everyone.

You need to understand that, there are certain things you need to say a big NO to, don't ever be intimidated to accept everything because others are accepting it. You are not everyone.


3. Daily Records

This is something that has helped me grately, each day, I pick a book and write out what I was able to do that day. I check out my mistakes, the words I said which I shouldn't have uttered, and what I desire to do the next day.

This process has brought about tremendous change. Why? Because I am now accountable to my inner mind. I won't want to repeat the same mistakes over and over again, instead, I get the chance to rewrite my ways.


4. Positive Words

One thing I have learnt to do is, never to say "I can't", when I haven't tried.

Why can't you when others can? You become exactly what you say to yourself.

If you have that believe that you can't achieve something, my dear, you won't.

The universe has ears, whatever you say to it is what it brings to you and makes you work on.
Do your best in avoiding negative words.


5. Be Selective

Yes, you read that right. Be highly selective when it comes to people you keep close. Don't be all about pleasing people or making friends with everyone. You don't need them, you can never please them.

Position yourself in a way you attract only people who will add value to your life.

Who has excess friends helped in this life? Instead it brings a lot of negative energies and frenemies.

Only people who are not ready to grow will tag that pride. If that is the price to getting your life on track and influencing your tribe, please pay the price.
