Defining Yourself

As one of the students i was invited by Unisa and Universum to complete 2 surveys just after I finished writing my exams. The surveys were different and included tests that determine what kind of a person one is or the kind of careers one would be best suited for. I was characterised as a Harmonizer and a Leader defined as follows.

HARMONIZERS are responsible and loyal individuals who are happy to take on responsibilities for the good of the team. Their friendliness and comfort around others makes them natural leaders, and their desire for harmony makes them excellent in team-oriented settings. They are also very successful when taking internships, as they find it easy to get along with whomever they are working for. Their driver is happiness. They would like to have a stable job where they are among nice colleagues. Article extracted from Universum, https://career-test.com/me/70jT84dZiJr3TI2G

LEADERS are able to see the big picture in any situation, which helps them inspire both their teams and themselves. They prefer the numerous benefits of working with others in a team environment, rather than being a "lone-wolf". Leaders aren’t afraid of being responsible for situations. They see responsibility as something to be desired and sought after. Because they understand that, their success or failure is ultimately in their own hands. Leaders are also quite introspective; they can look inward and assess themselves honestly and, when necessary, harshly. Before starting their careers, leaders are often involved in various types of organizations, and are often responsible for the founding and growth of projects.

I believe in the above mentioned characters because they do describe me in many ways, the reason to live is to fulfill our purpose and to do that without doubt or fear. We are born winners!! all it takes is hard work. 

"I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear" Nelson Mandela

Thoughts and Reality

The thin line between life and living, is expressed in who we are and in the moment of experiences we encounter. We are solemnly responsible for a lot of things, particularly for living a meaningful life filled with action and a chance to redeem ourselves. In every situation there is always that inner voice which will mirror the results or consequences of the action you about to take, something close to what is called anticipation. What is a better way to deal with this? It is also closely relative to what is called anxiety, how does one handle it? Answers to these questions shall be available on the posts to follow.

It scares to think of life as something unpredictable but it sure is interesting to live up to the challenge of discovering what is next. The fun lies in the mystery although some mysteries are never discovered, so what would life with a Manual/Instructions be like? It sounds like a great idea, i do not think so. I cannot begin to imagine the grief, so no matter how your life is built/structured be thankful because God is love and mercifull.

 Think of yesterday, imagine if yesterday was never going to end, how would that make you feel? Then think of today, imagine if today was never going to end, would you be able to live with today forever? Lastly think of tomorrow, what am I saying? Thinking of tomorrow would only be a thought full of possibilities of what could happen, rather than something you could do different now no matter how small it is, this is called change. Moral comes from a quote that says "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step", so dreams do come true no matter how long it takes to achieve them. 

Thoughts become things.
