The secret of simple living!!!!: Freedom from stress is right here


Simplicity is an underrated secret to living a truly happy and meaningful life. However, it is not as easy to simplify your life as it seems to be. It takes time, effort and development of the right habit attitude. Nonetheless, the result is worth the struggle.
Escape The Panic Mode. 8 out of 10 problems do not require your participation to get them solved. They are tackled by themselves. Too often the complexity of the issue is exaggerated in your mind. Do not enter the panic mode and get worried without a reason. Hit a pause and wait until the things settle.
Avoid Negative People. The world is full of awful things that you will face throughout your life. Therefore there is no need to get around people who will exaggerate the complexity of every single issue. Avoid those who constantly complain, whine and radiate negativity. Hang out with easy going and always positive, smiling people who will charge you with the positive energy and guarantee a great mood.
Get Rid Of Stuff. If you haven`t used a thing or worn some clothes for the last year or two, you are not likely to get back to them again. Become ruthless with the things you do not use for a long time. All they do is add even more mess and complexity to your life. Clean out your house at least once a year. Toss unnecessary stuff out and do your best to avoid clutter.
Do Not Compare Yourself With Others. The tendency to compare ourselves to others is inherent in all human beings. However, this habit has no positive effect on your inspiration, productivity and success. Moreover, it harms them. It never leads to anything good, but rather makes you feel stupid and unmotivated.
Take Time For All Things. Do not rush your life. Great haste usually makes great waste. Slow down for a while. Take a break. Reflect on ambitions, aspirations and opportunities you have. Prioritize the things and figure out what matters the most for you. Avoid multitasking and learn to focus on one task at a time.
Do Not Try To Fix Everything. Sometimes you cannot fix already broken things. The good thing is you do not need to. In most cases, it is not worth the struggle. From broken phone to broken relationships and friendship ties… Everything comes to end at some point. You have to acknowledge this and take it easy if you are not willing to complicate your life. Sometimes, the best decision is to let it go.
Reduce A Number Of Commitments. If you earn a reputation of a person that is always ready to undertake each and every new task and help everybody, you risk becoming overloaded with duties. A huge bunch of commitments is the reason why you always lack time, feel exhausted and depressed. You do not have to be everywhere and do everything. Flex you ‘No’ muscle and soon you will realize how life gets simpler because of fewer tasks, worries and responsibilities.

SEC to end issuance of e-dividend warrant by June 2017

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), has directed all registrars operating in the Nigerian capital market to end the issuance of e-dividend warrant to investors by June 31, 2017. This, according to the commission, will compel retail investors to embrace the exercise and stem the rising unclaimed dividend in the capital market, which is currently put at N80 billion. E-dividend is an electronic dividend payment which will enable an investor’s account to be credited after 24 hours that dividend is paid. The Director General of SEC, Mounir Gwarzo, while addressing journalists during the post Capital Market Committee (CMC), second quarter press briefing, held in Lagos yesterday, bemoaned the low level of patronage on e dividend registration in the market, noting that only 6,000 investors have accessed the platform. To encourage more participation in the exercise, the SEC boss explained that the CMC has agreed that all banks should...

How to overcome procrastination: this will help you!!!

And so I came across this write up by Gennaro Cuofano, and I thought it wise to share  I do not understand why procrastination is perceived as a very bad thing. I honestly don’t know about you but thank god I am a procrastinator. If it weren’t so right now I would be a fat smoker and a lonely man. If I am not fat is because most of the time I procrastinate in eating food that is unhealthy for me. If I am not a smoker is because I procrastinate in taking another bad habit, which would make me go out during the night to buy a package of cigarettes. If I am not lonely is because each time I am pissed at someone I procrastinate in f***ing them off. I actually wish I was a better procrastinator. If it were the case I would be a much better person than I am. But I am not and I am working on it to become the world’s top procrastinator! Procrastination is a blessing. We have evolved in an environment with limited resources and our body and mind too is the result of a...
