Contemporary Philosophies - A look at Life Issues

Have you ever wanted something so intensely that you put all your time and effort into achieving it but failed? Have you ever wanted that dream job only to be told that you do not fit the business model? We all have those moments in life when failure sets in and trample our dreams. However, do not lose hope but rather give yourself another chance at success find it within yourself to be determined and stick to your goals because failure is not a disappointment but rather a tool to achieve your success and a stepping stone to greatness. Join me on this journey and let us examine four proven steps to overcome failures at different stages of our lives. Stages of Life Life is a combination of stages that we must traverse to grow, develop, and ultimately become one mind, body, and soul. Our success as individuals hinges on our ability to carefully navigate each stage and overcome the challenges that exist. It is, therefore, our responsibility to ensure that we are able to pilot the

Be Persistent  "The greatest challenge in life is sometimes learning to believe in yourself".  R. E. Smith. Don't waste your time trying to accomplish someone's idea. Instead use your time to chase after your dreams and become a Dream Chaser. Oftentimes individuals put aside their dreams and goals because they were introduced to an idea by a friend or colleague. Putting your time and effort into accomplishing another person's idea will result in you "killing your dreams". Let me make this perfectly clear, there is nothing wrong with helping others to accomplish their goals and aspiration because our aim should always be to assist others to grow and develop but try not to sacrifice your dreams chasing a vision that does not align with your plans. For the purpose of this lesson we will examine who is a Dream Chaser and six ways to accomplish our dreams. What is a Dream?  A dream is a feeling or sensation that usually occur at nights or during the

 Each life is Sacred Our lives are made up of countless experiences and like all living things, we pass through various stages of growth and development. Many scholars and medical practitioners argue over the exact moment when life begins. Though this is important it may not be the easiest thing to argue because it is subjected to countless opinions and views. Nonetheless, let us examine a few perspectives put forward by individuals and religions about life and when it truly begins. What is Life?  Life is often referred to as the essence of our being that innermost part that makes up our state of consciousness. It takes into account our spiritual, physical, and emotional development. These are the qualities that separate us from other species and this is what it means to be human. Our ability to think, reason, and solve complex problems sets us apart from all other life forms. This ability is referred to as knowledge, understanding, and emotional intelligence. When does Li

 The New Dawn Change is the only thing in life that is constant. Our world is going through an unprecedented change and it will never be the same again as we approach the New Age of Reformation and as these changes continue to unfold we will learn to appreciate the "New Normal" and try our best not to be left behind. The age of technology is thrust upon us and we have no alternative but to rise to the occasion and face the issues of this challenging and revolutionary period in human history. The Digital Renaissance is unfolding and the laws of adaptability will once more play a vital role in shaping our existence. The process of natural selection will once more come to the forefront and only those equipped with the knowledge of the changes in technology will be able to cope and emerge triumphantly. What is Natural Selection? Natural selection is an evolutionary theory that is expounded on by Charles Darwin. It focuses on the process by which organisms better adap

  Your dreams matter Our degree of success hinges on our ability to work and push ourselves beyond the threshold of life by rising above the superficial barriers that are set for us to accomplish. This is done by using our various skills and talents to unlock our full potential. I recently wrote that "Success is a habit it captivates the mind and manifest into actions" and indeed they do because it is our actions that will be measured to indicate our success. The actions we demonstrate while on route to success is so driven and goal-oriented that we often need to sacrifice and give up our own desires in an effort to pursue our passion. Our accomplishments are based on careful calculations and navigation in order to climb the success ladder. To achieve our goals we must become tour guides of our destiny and once the desires are achieved the need is often satiated. Follow me into the realm of success and let us navigate the currents of achievement to understand how suc

Humans are like computer-based applications programmed for a specific reason or purpose and like these applications, humans are programmed with the innate drive to seek out and find the meaning of life. We often engage in conversation about life and what it really is and it comes to this single fact that life is a gift. Humans beings are granted this special gift, the gift of life and many do not appreciate it, life should be cherished and preserved. Ever so often we read and hear biologists and medical practitioners describe life as the characteristics that set us apart from inanimate objectives. These attributes include the ability to grow, think, reproduce, and ultimately die; the Circle of Life. The biological composition of plants and animals are unique though they are separate state of beings. One has the ability to think while the other relies on external stimuli. Humans have long been considered to be the most advanced organism on the planet due to our varying cognitive ab

Recently I was asked, "Can a man be successful without making sacrifices?" and my immediate reply was, Can a man know true love without heartbreak? The answer to both questions can only truly be answered by each individual striving to attain success or love. We are cultured from an early age to identify a career path and work towards it. This advice is a very good one but not the perfect advice to give. In identifying the career path we want to pursue and setting our minds to accomplish the task will result in us becoming productive members of society. The reality is everyone can succeed in whatever career path they chose whether it be medicine, law, education, politics, logistics, engineering or aviation. The question then stands are they truly successful or are they just being productive citizens? This question pushes us to think about what true success is because accomplishing a task or goal is not true success. It is merely completing a task while on the road to suc
