Le monde change, maintenant la gouvernance de la France n’est plus depuis longtemps dans l’hexagone, …les politiques n’ont pas pas vu le numérique arriver…et aujourd’hui le pouvoir est là!
My response to personal issues, people and the lesson I learned.
“Wake up; it’s 8:00 am. It’s time to go to church.”
“I’m not going.”
“Why?”
Thanks Konstantin, I appreciate this. I’ve been meaning to sit down and write out stuff about myself and do a comparison exercise to draw out the good stuff that i can build on. Adding an element of heroism and 'majic powers’ (based on real self reflection) definitely makes the work more fun to do, believing it will come with practice, that practice should lead to personal gains, and gains in commerce as well.
I can clearly recall the straw that broke the camel’s back on my ability to tolerate agency desire for cost savings over true…

Rick, hearty congrats, man. Yours is an inspiring story to millions of people out there, especially in today’s times. Its important to highlight the extraordinary struggles of ordinary people like us, to show that we too can achieve meaningfulness and success. And that is why you are an inspiration for us.

It’s all in the doing.
It really is. Ever since I started writing more, publishing more, creating more, my life has been much brighter. I’m much happier. The thoughts in my head, I can let them out. They’re no longer trapped inside.
Last week, I left a great team and a great job at a great company.

What’s the secret to a successful business career? The timeless adage, “Do what you love,” certainly applies. When that is combined with “Do what you know,” the ingredients are in place for major accomplishments. That’s…
My “life hack” for doing what I really want to do — when autopilot can actually help!
Life is SO full. There are so many demands, options, needs, distractions that claim my time, my energy and my life. But there are really important things that I want to do, things that matter long term and that need my attention now.
The other day around lunchtime, I wandered into the kitchen to wrangle together something to eat, and I noticed a funny smell. I couldn’t quite place it. It wasn’t a food-related smell. It was something more… chemical.
Reaching for the stars might seem unrealistic to many but if you don’t you are probably selling yourself short
Sometimes you have to take some distance to see what is good and what is not. Sometimes things can be so overwhelming, it’s impossible to imagine what else they can be.
Not to brag, but I have hung out with myself for 8,743 consecutive days now.

When I sat for the first time in front of the Medium Page I wondered, who am I? What makes me different from the rest? What message am I really trying to transmit through Medium? I spun the tough through my head for a while, even now that I’ve been already writing here for the past year, I know these are…

Staying inspired is a lot harder than it sounds. I always thought that staying motivated and interested in my career would happen if I just liked it enough. I’m beginning to think that’s not true. Where does inspiration come from? And how can I get it? That is definitely NOT what I seek to answer in this…

Lost in translation....texting today
The compliments, positive messages, and friendly gestures from others can make a person’s day. We all love to hear encouraging words from peers but do they stick with you? Do they add to your self-esteem? Do you allow them to add to your pride?
Don’t they all when you do the right thing?How many smiles can you create today?

Glad to be part of the 15,115 subscribers you got these past 4 weeks. ;)
But seriously, it’s mind-blowing how much discipline and consistency you put into your writing. The furthest I’d done was a 30-day daily writing experiment. While it did bring in over 1k followers on Medium and a couple hundred subscribers, it’s not…

That’s awesome Arulnathan. I am very happy to hear that you had the courage and the strength to come out of your troubles. Once you do come out of it and look back, you realize how moot were the troubles that you spent such precious time worrying about. I have had problems with my weight for as long as I can remember. At one point, almost 2 years…
There are always gifts.
I have recently encountered a few situations that are a bit silly (I’ll admit) but it’s stressful for me none the less.
Since I have started writing again, alongside being a single mother and part-time substitute teacher, I’ve begun to notice all of the little/big annoyances that are occuring in my neighborhood lately.

… but what of creativity, inspiration, and ideas?
I don’t really know how to begin this post. Usually I have a few ideas that could be elegantly written to my gracious readers, but this time I have drawn a blank. It’s an empty paper sitting amidst the mad scribbled notes of a man who thinks too much. The thoughts are there, they would just rather…
Hey Darius Foroux excellent article! It’s really helpful to have this 4 ways to jump out of the box, also when you are having bad times in work. I’d only recommend a 5th idea, if you can’t do it with this 4, it’s because you need to break your routine, your bad time…so I think it’s not a bad idea trying with a small trip, listening music from artist…

🇬🇧For changes we need inspirations. Try to search inspiration through mentors, business friends or be a mentor for others. Both works very well!
I recently had a ‘what if’ moment.
What if we didn’t give the usual response our problems, which is to moan saying “this kitchen is such a mess and I don’t have time to clean it” but we actually gave a big grin and said “how exciting is it that soon enough I’ll have the financial freedom to have a cleaner!” Just imagine the…
Mix one million ounces of “Keep doing”, a whole lotta “Love what you do” and add as many teaspoons as your energies allows you of “Work with passion”…
… and surprisingly you’ll have the best recipe to reach an epiphany moment every single day of your life.
That’s so true about making it part of your daily life. I think the first step to becoming more patient is to recognise that it’s a muscle which can and should be exercised.
I often hear people say “oh I’m not a very patient person, I couldn’t practise patience as part of my life”.
