Health should be one of the major focuses of our life; and a major part of health is fitness.

My interpretation of fitness is to be able to exert stress on the body with little consequence. For example, someone who is able to run 5 kms without losing their breath would be considered quite fit. If we work on our fitness, we will be able live a longer and more fulfilled life without having to worry about as many issues as we begin to age. We will also enjoy each moment to the fullest without worrying as much about our health.

Health First = Fitness first.

“A founder is not a job, it’s a role, an attitude. And it’s something that can happen again and again and again, and in fact it has to happen again and again and again, otherwise we would not move forward.”

– Jack Dorsey

A Confucianist acknowledges our in-born natural states, but sees humans as diamonds in the rough; agents of great potential. Confucius states that enhancing and perfecting how we act and how we relate to each-other can bring about tremendous change; on both personal and communal levels.

What we think we are is always changing. This means we are extremely malleable, which means we can use self-cultivation to turn ourselves into better people.

“Our habits limit what we can see, access, sense and know.” – Puett

The cure to this is; ritual. For participants, rituals are a momentary break from regular patterns. This gives us a change to gradually change ourselves and our habits over time. Our potential is limitless.

One thing that is true about the world we live in is that balance is always restored. In one way or another, the pendulum swings back in the opposite direction. Sometimes it swings further, sometimes less so; but it always swings back. It is a law of nature.

Self -motivation is the most important thing to master in life. Any feasible dream becomes just a matter of time if you are able to get yourself to put in the work. Having a deep reason to achieve your goal can be used as a back up generator when you face tough situations.

To be able to judge one’s personality based on planetary pull on one’s birth time and location seems very far-fetched. However, there are many more unbelievable things that occur in our daily lives.

I believe the saying “everything happens for a reason”. The messages sent to you by anything can provide valuable insight that could potentially change your life. Horoscopes might not be 100% true but can still be helpful.

The importance of one’s home cannot be understated. This word may just mean a primary place of residence to some, but its importance far outweighs that. A home is the environment in which we spend the most of our time, which means an orderly and welcoming home brings us much more peace of mind. Therefore, investing time and effort to make our homes presentable is inducive of success in life.

In times of crises, there is the most opportunity. The world has suddenly developed new problems that need to be solved. Those of us who see this as a blessing rather than a curse will be rewarded. We must take advantage of this opportunity to help humanity get through these tough times. Get your thinking hats on and start working.

“The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognise that we ought to control our thoughts.” – Charles Darwin

Always be prepared to press a reset button in your mind when you make mistakes. This way you will be able to make mistakes and get back on track without much friction. To master this skill is pivotal to success in life, helping you prevent negative spirals and learn from mistakes.
