The pyramid of life

In the pyramid of life, at the bottom (the down life), there are too many people struggling for limited resources but at the top, there are a few competing for unlimited resources. This explains the reason the rich keeps increasing in riches while the poor struggles for survival. It’s all your choice to make, refuse the down life, don’t let any thing or any one keep you down and no matter how many times you fall, just keep moving until you get to your desired destination.

You may loss something or someone you hold so dearly, it may be very painful and difficult to bear but you must ensure you keep standing, do not let the situation keep you down, maintain your positive attitude and keep your eyes on the big picture (your goal in life). For instance, you may loss your job and it appears like you are down to zero, don’t be afraid, the zero point is always a good place to start all over. There is nothing wrong with starting afresh but there is everything wrong with wallowing in self pity, complaining and looking for who to blame for your predicament; this is what makes you a failure, because you are looking for help where it does not exist. What can I do? You may ask; if you ever find yourself in a position as this, what you need to do is to make up your mind to do it right in an attempt to start all over. If you need to get another job, do it but this time, with a different mentality. Say this, “any company that has me in their establishment is fortunate because I've got what it takes to make them great”, repackage your CV (curriculum Vitae) and move on. If your interest is in entrepreneurship, say this, “I'm going to be the best at whatever I set out to do”, see your job loss as an opportunity to demonstrate all the knowledge and skills you have acquired from your previous job. It’s time to reposition you for the task ahead. To be an entrepreneur could be very challenging but you are more than equal to the task.

If no one encourages you, encourage yourself, say this; “I've done it before and I can do it again, even better”. Remember your past successes and use it to encourage yourself but don’t be tempted to dwell too long on them so it won’t become a limitation. This is also the time for you to cut down the excesses; those things that easily distract you from your set goals and other things that are not very necessary. This will enable you focus and position yourself for the new height of your aspiration.
