Magic Versus Miracle

The fastest route to achieve anything is either through magic or miracle. Other fast ways are still categorised under these two umbrellas.

In the absence of hypocrisy and judgmental attitude, we all want the quickest means to achieve our goals. Unaware to many, they keep seeking magic not knowing that they should be looking for miracle instead.

Magic and miracle are like two sides of a coin; with so much similarity, but yet different.

Magic is an illusion. It can happen anywhere, anytime and any how irrespective of the conditions.

Miracle is real and It requires a foundation before it can occur. That is, some kind of work on the part of the bearer; psychological and physical.

It is imperative that you understand the differences between the two.

Magic works for the time being and fades away after a while, whereas miracle is natural and it lasts forever.

Even though you may find it difficult to distinguish between magic and miracle, as long as you don't allow self deception to take over, it will become evident.

Are you still skeptical? Let's do some breakdown.

In a bid to lose fat you tend to be susceptible to all sorts of theories and concepts. To make matters worse, the fitness industry is saturated with "lose fat quickly"campaigns. Certainly, you will be tempted to opt for these fast methods, but you have to shine your eyes. STOP GOING FOR THE FAKE.

"Lose 40 pounds in a month" is an example of MAGIC and it's preposterous. With the present technology and evolutionary state of humans, any loss of weight beyond 15 pounds in a month is unhealthy and surely has consequences. Who knows, maybe sometimes in the year 2088, the human body might be able to withstand higher weight loss within a short period of time. We might even have usb ports and wifi connection under our armpits by then to upload fatloss routines into our bodies.

As of now, the healthy way to lose fat is through proper exercise and meal adjustments. Slow and steady is the key to sustainable weight loss.

So how do you get miracle?

You have to lay down the proper ground work then allow nature to do the rest. It is crucial that you comprehend with the fact that miracle needs a foundation to work on. In order words, some work has to be done by an individual before it can take place.

In spite of the high controversy on supplements, they can still be taken but in a safe manner. Nutrition and exercise can be likened to a footballer and his skillset while supplement is a soccer boot.

First and foremost, the footballer must kick the ball before he can score a goal. The soccer boot enhances the intensity of his kicks and protects his feet, however he must ensure that his boot is made of the right material. A bad supplement is like a boot that is fully made of raw metal, not only will it injure the ankle of the player, it will also burst the football.

Using supplements without performing exercise will not work. It's like wearing a soccer boot without kicking the ball. The ball will not move.

Brethren, Set your ball in motion and let nature take over.

Peace unto you.

If You Possess These 5 Traits, You're Guaranteed Success

Accomplished people have common characteristics that help them stand above the rest. Here's a few you may have thought of--and others that aren't so obvious.

I've spent a lot of time with many successful entrepreneurs and CEOs and found that very successful people tend to have a pretty consistent combination of five traits.

If you lack any one of them, it doesn't mean you won't be successful--after all, there's a multitude of ways one can arrive at success. But if you can identify with all of them, then I'm guaranteed to be looking at a person who's already achieved or about to achieve great success.

Here are the five traits that all successful people have in common:

1. They are good at execution. Bright ideas are a dime a dozen. Not to belittle the creation process, but what makes a person successful is not so much the idea as whether he or she can carry that idea to fruition. Entrepreneurs tell me all the time not to worry about telling people your big ideas because 99 percent of the time, nobody will execute on them. Why is this country full of wannabe entrepreneurs? Because, most of the time, people like to daydream about their big business idea--very few are actually willing to put the sweat equity into making it happen.

2. They have a chip on their shoulder. This may sound negative. It doesn't have to be. I know many warm, engaging, optimistic entrepreneurs who are partly motivated by a common chip on their shoulders--the need to prove someone or something wrong. In its simplest terms, it's turning the proverbial lemon into lemonade. Many entrepreneurs tell me they achieved great things because they were told what they were doing was dumb or never going to work (hello, Jeff Bezos!). Others pointed to things like growing up poor or as outsiders as motivators in wanting to excel.

3. They are good decision makers. Teresa Taylor, the former chief operating officer at Qwest Communications and once one of the highest paid female executives in America, said one of the reasons why she was successful was because she could make decisions fast. She joked that if the decision was in "grenade-range" of the correct one then she felt pretty good. I noticed this a lot with chief executives and entrepreneurs--many of them make decisions quickly and move on. A good number of us will hem and haw over the right move without realizing time is quickly moving on. Not every decision will be the right one, but if you're moving quickly, you'll have a better chance of rectifying a bad decision than if you missed your chance entirely.

4. They give a lot. I'm not talking about giving money, though there are plenty of successful people who give away plenty of money. Successful people tend to think a lot about others--how they can help people around them; what they can do to give their clients, customers, employees more; what they can do to enhance the lives of those around them. Givers get an immense amount of satisfaction knowing they're elevating the people around them--it makes them feel good. This doesn't mean every successful person who gives is a jolly Santa Claus--it just means that their focus is often outside of themselves, which goes a long way in business, where relationships count.

5. They're highly disciplined. There's a photo a friend of mine sent me once (it's on my Instagram account) of a ballerina's feet. Her right foot is wrapped and slippered; her left is bare, showing all her cuts, bruises, and twisted toes. The image is a jolting reminder that to achieve anything, you need to work hard at it--very hard. That requires an immense amount of focus and discipline, especially in the face of hardship. This doesn't mean successful people don't have fun or can't relax--quite the contrary, I find many indulge in quirky hobbies or sports and still get to spend time with their families. It just means that once successful people lock on a goal, they are relentless in achieving it.

Do you possess any of these traits? The good news is, if you're a regular reader of this site, you can probably identify with at least one of these traits. The others can be learned or honed. Keep these in mind as you build and grow to your full potential.
