'Change is inevitable but personal growth is a choice.' - Bob Proctor.

 Hello and welcome to Day 20 of our wisdom series. Today's life lesson is on Personal Growth. This is an important part of life which you should strive for. It's not luxurious but it is necessary for success.

I learned this vital lesson after I arrived in Canada. We all commence at the same starting line, everything else is up to you. You can start fast or slow, or never start at all. It's really up to you. You choose what to do, it's either you take a step or leap forward, or you stay in your comfort zone. Your comfort zone might seem beautiful and cozy but nothing ever grows there. So you should never consider staying there.

I remember a quote by Dr. John Maxwell which reads. " If we're growing, we're always going to be out of our comfort zone.". I encourage you, get used to being out of your safe zone if you want to grow and be successful. Remember, the most important part about your race is finishing strong, you can still do it!

 Pursue Personal Growth, Pursue Mindset Shift, Get out of your Comfort Zone, Stay Motivated, Stay Wise. See you next time for more wisdom from our 41 Years of MyLife Wisdom Series.

" You cannot go abroad without coming back a changed person."

Hello and welcome to Day 19 of our wisdom series. Today's episode is a little different. Culture shock is real people! I have experienced a lot of culture shock and today I share my most memorable and epic experience.

Whenever you relocate to a different country or continent, expect to undergo tremendous changes in your life. Meeting people from different races means you will be exposed to a lot of unknown cultures. You cannot help but react to these differences but remember to be respectful. While it's okay to not understand other people's cultures, it is vitally important to respect them.

You might get exposed to cultures you do not like, but give it time. Be open to new experiences, after all, we are all foreigners in this world.

Stay Motivated, Stay Wise and see you tomorrow for more of the wisdom series.

" We are all members of a single humanity, inside our hearts, we all speak the same language, we all love our children and our parents, we all live in the same world." - Marc Forne Molne

Hello and welcome to Day 18 of our wisdom series. Living in Canada has exposed me to a lot of different people, races, and cultures. Growing up in Africa, I was only exposed to a few Asians and Caucasians. Imagine the culture shock I experienced when I arrived in Canada. So many different people. I often wondered if they had the same thoughts as I did. Hahahahaha funny right?

As I started working with different people I quickly realized that we are the same. We might have different colored skin or different skin tones but underneath we are all the same. We all pee, we all bleed the same blood, we are one people with the same destiny. We are all human, aren't we? Therefore let us treat each other with kindness, let us live in harmony and most importantly, let us love one another.

In the words of Kofi Annan, "We may have different religions, different colored skin, but we all belong to one human race. We all share the same basic values."

Stay Loving, Stay Motivated, Stay Wise and see you tomorrow for more wisdom from our Wisdom Series.

" It does not take money to make money." - Robert T. Kiyosaki.

Hello and welcome to Day 17 of our wisdom series. Several people ask me how they can move to Canada or any other western country in search of a better life. They feel that their life will change once they move to a better country. Although I always answer their questions, I also tell them about the many opportunities they have of making money wherever they are. It is possible to earn the same amount of money a person in Canada is making.

When I came here I had to work extra hard to be where I am today. But, it's different for other immigrants. Some of my fellow immigrants are having a hard time putting food on the table. It's never the same for everyone who leaves their home country in pursuit of a brighter future.

The greatest part about living in this time is that you can make money online and live the lifestyle you want wherever you are in the world. People can make the same income someone living in Canada makes while living in Africa. Consider making money online, there are so many opportunities for you. It will not be easy but remember to do what you have to do until you can do what you want to do.

Stay Motivated, Stay Wise, see you tomorrow for more lessons from my 41 years of life; Wisdom Series.

" The biggest risk is not taking any risks...In a world that's changing quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks." - Mark Zuckerburg.

Hello and welcome to Day 16 of our wisdom series. In today's episode, we talk about taking risks. Taking risks does not mean you are guaranteed to succeed every time and that's okay. It can go either way, you can fail to succeed. The best part is, either way, you learn something that can help you grow as a person. Many of my achievements required that I get out of my comfort zone. I moved from Zimbabwe to a foreign country, I got into the Real Estate World (I knew nothing about it), I started speaking on international events, I invested in real estate and I didn't always succeed in all of my endeavors. Whether it was investing money to help my business grow, putting myself out there, overcoming stage fright, I had to take risks and I am glad I did.

Many of us are scared of taking risks but what you need to realize is you have nothing to lose forever. You will not suffer an eternity of loss. Always ask yourself this question, " What's so bad about taking a risk?". Remember that failure is not the opposite of success, it is part of it. Life is about taking risks, if you never take a risk, you will never achieve your dreams.

Start taking risks, Overcome Your Fears, Embrace failure, its a lesson, Stay Motivated, Stay Wise and see you tomorrow.

" You never know when your life is about to change. You never know when one decision will dramatically impact your life and change the course of your destiny." - Dani Johnson.

Hello and welcome to Day 15 of our wisdom series. Decisions, decisions, decisions, that's our topic for today. Making decisions is hard but it has to be done. I decided to leave my 10month old baby in Zimbabwe so I could pursue a brighter future for myself and my family. It was not easy but it had to be done. Your life changes when you make a new, congruent and committed decision. Remember, make decisions with the long term in mind.

Until tomorrow, Stay Motivated, Stay Decisive, Stay Wise.

" The most important criterion is this: hire someone whose character and humility and attitude you would like to have reproduced in your church and in yourself." - John Ortberg

Hello and welcome to Day 14 of our wisdom series. In today's episode, we talk about hiring for character and training for skill. I have realized the meaning of Peter Schutz's, CEO of Porsche, statement. The character of a person plays a more important role when looking for the right person to join your team. The focus should lie on the individual's personality, drive, character, attitude, creative thinking, and fast learning. Specific skill sets, knowledge and understanding can be taught and learned by the person. I thought I would share this important lesson with you today. It has helped me tremendously. Do you agree with Peter Schutz and me?

Until next time, Stay Motivated, Stay Wise.

“No matter where you’re from, your dreams are valid.”—Lupita Nyong’o.

Hello and welcome to Day 13 of our wisdom series. Today we talk about dreaming big. I have always been a dreamer, not just a dreamer, but a big dreamer. There are plenty of dreamers out there. And while society might work to dismiss some of us as pure noise, there are great benefits to dreaming often and dreaming big.

If you’re a dreamer like me, then you must never give up on your dream. My dream was to study in the UK and even though my mother could not afford to pay my tuition I never stopped dreaming. What did I do instead? I dreamt big. I moved from being a girl with only $5 in her pocket to being a successful entrepreneur who runs a multi-million dollar business. I am not bragging here but I am showing you that your dreams are valid and they can become true. Dreaming involves holding tight to a vision of a better life, one of success and abundance. While getting there might be difficult, having to deal with setbacks and failures along the way, it’s surely well worth it. Anyone who’s achieved a big goal knows just how true that statement is, I do.

Yet, although some of us might like to dream, we all dream differently. We don’t always hold tight to those dreams, knowing that we can and will do anything in our power to make them a reality.

The truth of the matter is that many of us give up on our dreams.

We throw in that towel when the going gets tough. We give up rather than persist through the torture and pain of another failure.

But being a dreamer isn’t about giving up. Dreaming often and dreaming big provides us with a platform for growth and success.

Remember,

And if your dreams don’t scare you, then they’re not big enough.

The only thing holding you back from achieving them is yourself. We can be our own worst enemies in so many instances, especially when we don’t believe wholeheartedly in ourselves. So, as you start your weekend, ponder on this lesson. What does it take to make your dream come true? You! Pursue your dreams and most importantly, have a vision. 

Stay Motivated, Fight for your Dream, Have a Vision and Stay Wise. 

"Bridging the generation gap not only increases the friend pool, but it also expands and supports mental well-being."
- Anna Kudak.

Hello and welcome to Day 12 of our wisdom series. Today we talk about Older Friends. If you are like most people, you met your friends while you were in school. This means that they are very close to your age. Most people, as a result, view friendship with older people differently. During my 41 years of life, I have come to realize that friendship with older people helped broaden perspective. Older friends not only have a lot of wisdom to share, but their maturity mentally is also a stepping stone for you. This type of friendship may require more effort and understanding but the benefits are profound. Why should I cultivate such friendships you ask?
1. Some of their self-confidence will rub off. Older people are less afraid of the opinions of others so they are more likely to say what they think.
2. They can guide you and show you the way. They have already done many things we struggle with in our personal lives, work, etc.
3. They can teach you very important life lessons. The wise counsel from my nursing days has helped me become the person I am today. The words "Just start" not only applied to my real estate business venture, but they apply to everything I do or want to do. They taught me to get out of my comfort zone and make a change in my life.

You might not have the same fashion sense or enjoy the same movies but it's a good opportunity to broaden your horizons and find friends who have the same interests as you. You will be shocked to find out we are not so different after all.

Have older friends, Stay Wise and see you tomorrow for more wisdom.
