Do we really need daily motivational affirmations? We often read about the benefits of daily motivational affirmations, and we agree how reading and reciting them helps us have a good start for the day. But why aren’t we doing them? Why do we find it hard to recite these affirmations each day that we get up and carry on our normal day to day lives?

What is man’s purpose?
There are times when I ask myself what my purpose in life really is. What am I doing here anyway? Is there something I should be doing other than what I’m currently doing today?Other people seem to have found their spot under the sun and could truly profess their purpose in ways like – my purpose is to be responsible for people employed under me, my purpose is to be a good mother to my kids, my purpose is to sing and to touch people with my songs.

Growing old at 30
Growing old? At 30? Oh no! I used to believe myself to be young looking, someone who is infact a LOT younger than my age. Now why the sudden feeling of growing old? Didn’t I believe myself to be timeless? ageless? Isn’t growing old merely a product of the mind and of the many beliefs we have of aging?

I have no net and I’m thankful
So why am I thankful that I had no internet tonight? First of all, had I had internet, I wouldn’t be writing this article for future posting when I can work “on-line” again. Funny that now that I’m “offline” (to the net), I am “on-line” again to myself. I can now write, read a good book, enjoy the company of my family, and even do some hobby without using my keyboard!Have you noticed it as well? How the internet seem to capture all of us and have us engrossed for countless hours, precious hours we could have spent somewhere else (other than sitting infront of our laptops and being lost in thought!) “Just one more minute” or “just trying to get this code right” we’d say. But after a problem is finished, another one comes up, and then another, and we aren’t able to finish at all. Further to that, the internet works so fast that it forces us to work in the same phase as “it”. IT works so fast presenting to us thought upon thought upon thought until we hardly have the time to even catch our breath. Whew! I’m sure glad I caught mine tonight 🙂
Now let me get this right. I’m not saying that the internet is no good. In fact, it is a very useful tool. So let us keep it at that – a tool. A tool we shouldn’t allow to control us. Instead, we should make it work for us by having enough discipline and self-control to use it the best way and the best time we can. As for nights when you can’t connect, be thankful. You now have a chance to live your life as normal people do. You can now have some experience you’d be able to blog about the next time you’re on-line once again.
