Decode: Work-Life Balance

First of all work-life balance is not a myth. It is not the quantity of hours divided equally for work and personal pursuits. It is basically not 50-50. Doing so, would mean struggle trying to constantly juggle either side the equation of work and play. Suffice it to say when you struggle you are not balanced.

I believe work-life balance is something achievable. First you must know your priorities, it should be crystal clear. Know what you value and what gives you the most pleasure. The key to balance is quieting the noise inside our heads. Meditate. Spend at least 30 minutes a day on meditation. Tap your inner resources to gain wisdom, calmness, the aura. Some people like to keep a lucky and gratitude journal in order to feel centered. By all means do it on a daily basis.

If you spend your day accomplishing something in your work and spending off work hours on something you enjoy , then I would say you have a pretty good day. You have achieve the work-life balance. It’s that simple. Achieve something in your work and do things you enjoy after work. It can’t be one without the other.

You probably know and met workaholics in your lives. They could be your father, uncle, friend, colleague. And in your mind you think how anyone can work that many hours without break and relaxation. Let’s admit we can’t compete with them, and we don’t even need to. Why? Because it it’s only a matter of time they will experience burn out and their health would suffer. Not really an ideal way to achieve your goals, cause some areas in your life are going to be jeopardized. There’s nothing like work-life balance. I think the mantra "work less , earn more" is the offspring of the concept of work-life balance.

When we achieve work-life balance we feel good about ourselves, we feel harmonious with people around us and the universe. It feels effortless. The reality is, you can have it all though not all at once. When there’s balance there’s harmony and the flowing of life is easy. We realize our full potentials and be all that we ever wanted to be.

Zeroing In On Self Discipline

“He who conquers his self is mightier than he who conquers a city.” I forgot who said that line but the message stuck with me. It means have control over yourself first before you can have control over other things outside of yourself.. Private victories precede public victories. It all starts within you. Self- discipline and self control are major components if you want to master yourself. Self-mastery is a pre-requisite to transforming yourself into changed and better individual. The words self discipline and self control are enough to make you cringe. It means deprivation. It means loss of freedom. Sacrifice. Delayed gratification . But think of the rewards when you are able to discipline yourself. It’s enough to get you motivated. What separates the winners from the average people is that the winners reach a level of self-mastery accomplished through self discipline. Winners do not lose heart and become devastated by their misfortunes. They don’t become slaves to bad habits. They...

Selling Medical Equipments and Supplies

I live in a country where rice is the staple food. And what does it mean? It means that a major percentage of the population are diabetics. Rice when processed by our digestive system become glucose. So that means too much sugar in our bodies. Anyways, how do we see that as a money making opportunity as well as helping diabetics? It’s really pretty simple. This is how my cousin and I did it. My cousin works for a multinational company that deals with medical equipments and supplies. He got a huge discount if he purchases merchandise from where he worked. He supplied me with blood glucose monitoring systems (the portable ones) and test strips. ( the paper strip where in you put trickles of your blood to be inserted in the portable machine to know you blood sugar level.) I made money selling those monitoring systems for a profit or I charged for a fee if a person wants to know his or her blood sugar level or I sold the test strips only. I got like residual income from people with diabete...
