10 ISSUES OF NATURE YOU CAN’T DO WITHOUT.

Lord Byron said “There is pleasure in the pathless woods, there is rapture in the lonely shore, there is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar; I love not Man the less, but Nature more”. Nature was designed and programmed to occur before the existence of humanity. There are possibly many principles governing life that we can’t alter, instead we accept them, appreciate them and endeavour to adapt to them. Lao Tzu mentioned that “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished”.

The earth is been controlled by natural phenomenon. The activities of folks are under the influence of nature. Natural is a friend when you acknowledge it, cherish it, move along with it and get acquainted with its lay down guides. Nature is the environment we live in. Nature is our life pattern. Nature is the person in us. Nature is our character in the scene.

Here are some significant natural issues as it is applicable to our daily activities and lifestyle.

10. EXERCISE

Exercise is major and natural means of staying fit and healthy. It plays a vital role in our pursuit to longer living. Every individual on planet earth is entitle to carry out exercise each week. The day we stop exercising, the day we bury our health. When you are healthy, you can start everything in life. Paul Coelho states “I have seen many storms in my life. Most storms have caught me by surprise, so I had to learn very quickly to look further and understand that I am not capable of controlling the weather, to exercise the art of patience and to respect the fury of nature”. If you can’t observe this principle of nature and make it part of you, there’s no room of making a better future. The journey to healthy lifestyle is the beginning of exercise.

Make it your friend, you’ll enjoy the future, you abstain from it, your life and well-being crumble without delay. A success man is that person who stays fit and healthy to enjoy his labour.

9. YOUR SELF

Your personality is what defines you. Your nature is the person in you. Joan D. Vinge says “We are all born with a unique genetic blueprint, which lays out the basic characteristics of our personality as well as our physical health and appearance”. And yet, we all know that life experiences do change us”.

No individual has the power to live your life for you. You are specially made and possessed with vast structures that differentiate you from the others. Never compete with any one, you can’t beat them. Be that person that defines your existence. Be who you are, “be yourself”. Know your nature and adapt to it. Make it unique and you will excel.

Leo Howard said “Being confident is the key to life. Don't be afraid to be you! I'm super different from a lot of kids my age with style and personality, and I'm OK with it”. And if you are OK with it, everyone else will be, too. Just be yourself”. Flee from every false appearance as it pays to be You.

8. LEARN EVERY DAY.

Learn your way to success. Pele says “Success is no accident. It is hard work, perseverance, learning, studying, sacrifice and most of all, love of what you are doing or learning to do”. Learning should be your lifestyle. It should be your daily routine. You have to train your brain to be active. Learn not only by reading books. Learn from the mistakes that put you in a bad shape. Learn from the things you see around. Colin Powell mentioned in his quote that “There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure. Martin Lawrence stated that “I'm most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He's given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I'll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do”.

Learn from individuals. Each day that comes by, there’s a lesson to be learnt. Put yourself into daily training as no knowledge is a waste. Note; you stop existing the day you stop learning. Becoming the person you should be is by learning. Anthony J. D’Angelo mentioned that “Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow”.

Show me a man who stops learning, and I will show you a man whose future is enveloped with darkness and failures. Learning gives you confident in the public. Learning makes you a star. Learning distinguishes you from your equals. Learning keeps you informed. Learning is a nature, subject yourself to it. Frank Lloyd said “Study nature, love nature, stay close to nature. It will never fail you”.

7. REST BEFORE YOU FADE

Carl Jung said “We shall probably get nearest to the truth if we think of the conscious and personal psyche as resting upon the broad basis of an inherited and universal psychic disposition which is as such unconscious, and that our personal psyche bears the same relation to the collective psyche as the individual to society”. Even God who created the universe including mankind rested after the creation. Humans were created in the image and likeness of God. If our creator can acknowledged this essential aspect of nature, then why can’t we recognize this fact? Rest is nature, you can’t cheat it. You must rest to work another day. Don’t push yourself beyond your body capabilities else you fade unknowing. Human body is designed to operate in certain duration each day. Study yourself to know your limit. The entire body system needs rest. You need to rest your mind. Your energy needs to function again.

Thich Nhat Hanh says “It's very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems”. No matter how interested your job could be, no matter the sweetness and success of your job, you need rest. You are a human and not a robot. Note, the job may continue when you fade away.

“Rest is nature, observe it”.

6. YU ARE YOUR ATTITUDE

Wade Boggs states “A positive attitude causes a chain reaction of positive thoughts, events and outcomes. It is a catalyst and it sparks extraordinary results”. You are your attitude, meaning you are address by your attitude. Attitude becomes a stigma when it’s depraved, and a mirror when it’s good. Attitude is nature, you are made of it. Your attitude is your personality. Wade Boggs also mentioned that “Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life”. Attitude dwells in you from birth to the time of accountability. It can never be hidden, is like pregnancy. It takes you above men and it can bring you beneath your equals.

Every individual is endow with positive and negative attitude. Hans Selye says “Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one”. Nature defines your attitude by your actions. You are attitude, let people address and admire the beauty of it. You are your mirror, let people behold the light in it and imitate it. Nature gives you the best quality attitude, gaze deep down in you, bring it out, fine tune it, let it shine, and you shall stand among “mean men”. Oprah Winfrey “The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude”.

5. EAT THE RIGHT FOOD.

Delia Smith states “Food is for eating, and good food is to be enjoyed... I think food is, actually, very beautiful in itself”. Food is very essential to the well-being of the body. It can keep you going on well in life and it can drop you down if wrongly eating. Food is what brings out the beauty and structure in you. Healthy living is a source of right choice of food. “You are what you eat”. Without food, there’s no you. Yolanda Adams says “Good food is healthy food. Food is supposed to sustain you so you can live better, not so you can eat more. Some people eat to live, and some people live to eat”. Eat the right food to obtain the desire result.

Our environments are decorated with fruits and vegetables, apply them in your daily diet. If necessary, avoid the in-take of snacks as it does not add to your well-being, rather it keeps you in a bad shape. Herbert Hoover “I am proud to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of adventure and daily discoveries - the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the comfort of the family fireside, of good food and tender care”.

Food is nature, eat the best of it. Man is a product of what he eats. A daily complete diet packed with vegetables will make your day bright. Your stomach is your life, feed it with the right choice of food. You can’t stop eating, but eat the right diet. Your diet is what your health tells you. Your health should be your daily concern, hence, it is your only means of becoming wealthy. Eat the right food!

4. YOUR RELATIONSHIP

Herbert Hoover says “I am proud to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of adventure and daily discoveries - the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the comfort of the family fireside, of good food and tender care”. Relationship is what you can’t kick out of the journey to success. God established relationship for a common purpose. Relationship is nature, you can’t survive without it. Your affairs with folks matters so much. You can attain your success point by the means you relate with individuals. In the other hand, success point can’t be seen by the means of your relationship with others. Now, the question is; how do you relate with people? You need to function effectively with people each day. Note, relationship is as old as the creation. God honours it.

Examine carefully your relationship with people around, because that could be your link to a greater future.

3. DON’T WORRY ABOUT PEOPLE’S SAYING

The mouth was giving and designed for talking. It is natural that people must always talk about you. It is normal that your name keeps sounding from people’s mouth. Bryant Mcoill said “You would think that the more successful you are, the more people would be excited for you. It is very sad when you learn people just become jealous. Even worse; some people secretly hope you will fail. If you have someone who is truly happy for your success – treat them like gold”. There’s nothing you can do to stop a natural occurrence. “You are dead the moment nobody talks about you”.

Relevant folks are persons whose names keeps spreading the globe. You don’t need to be worried, you must be talked about. Nature must take its place in your life. Daniel G. Amen, MD states “People who run their own lives have a strong tendency to blame other people when things go wrong”. You are the vestige of your thoughts. See beyond what others says. Steve Maraboli says “I have fed mouths that have talked shit about me. I’ve wiped tears off the faces of people who have caused mine. I have picked up people who have tried to knock me down. I have been there for people who have not been there for me. But I will NOT lose myself in the hatred of others. Life isn’t easy, but even through all the bullshit… I will still be here, being me”. Forget people’s thoughts and sayings, you are what you say.

2. VALUE

Albert Einstein says “try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value”. Build a value. It is your worth in the society. It gives you confident. Every individual must possess it. You should endeavour to be significant to yourself and any position you occupy. Myles Munroe Said “The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how you live, you are important because of how effective you live”. Extraneous folks does not matter in the society. You are somebody by how much you worth. Can you be bought so cheap? A cheap product can’t be placed equally with quality and highly rated one. Make a name for yourself.

Value is nature, build it and let the world see it. Ken Robinson says “Creativity is the process of having original ideas that have value. It is a process; it’s not random”. You are known and respected by your value. No man wants to entangle with a worthless entity. Lewis Howes said “One of the most powerful networking practices is to provide immediate value to a new connection. This means the moment you identify a way to help someone, take action”. Albert Einstein mentioned “The value of a man should be seen in what he gives and not in what he is able to receive”. It places you where you aim to be. Define your value, work it out, for you are value.

1. GRATITUDE

A man whose heart is built on gratitude will always dine with men of honour. Learn to be grateful. Say thank you for every day that comes by. William Arthur Ward mentioned that “Gratitude can transform common days into thanksgivings, turn routine jobs into joy, and change ordinary opportunities into blessings”. Appreciate the impact of someone upon your life. Brian Tracy states “Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step towards achieving something bigger and better than your current situation”. Gratitude is nature, it can’t be do away with. In every aspect of your life, learn to give gratitude. Shawn Michaels said “I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation for the second chance I was given, so anytime in any film, when that is given to someone, I always appreciate it”. Live a life of gratitude.
