Management : Positive Mindset
By Vincent Oduor
As we kick-start the year 2021 , it is important that we purpose to conceptualize our picture of success , document it , and walk the talk through our actions . There is no doubt that the previous year was a challenging one for many individuals and corporates ; but that ’ s just life , and painfully so . It is now water under the bridge . However , through a positive mindset , we can make 2021 a wonderful year in our lives . No matter what your picture of success looks like , there are habits that can energize your mantra and turn around your world one way or another if you incorporate them fruitfully into your DNA as discussed here-under .
Health & Healthy Lifestyle
The gift of life is a priceless favor from The Almighty God to all of us breathing under the sun , and so we owe Him immense gratitude through prayer , praise and our lifestyle . One way to demonstrate our sincere gratitude through healthy lifestyle ’ s is by engagement in sporting activities or a fitness routine , this may go a long way in keeping us in a fit form physically and mentally .

As individuals we should always have the ‘’ can do ’’ attitude embedded in our mind ; what you conceptualize you can always achieve .

Nitish Matthew , a mental Health Counselor defines Spiritual development as “ To believe in something beyond the material universe and to develop an awareness of realities beyond the confines of time and space ’’.
As non-atheist human beings , we believe that the invisible spiritual Power emanating from our God plays a critical role in giving us the extra momentum in our various hassles .
