OWNING YOUR GROWTH 1

Welcome back to OYG With Khanyie. You may be wondering were I’ve been. Well I’ve been around. I had to take time to think about a new structure for my new blog and also remind myself WHY I STARTED THE BLOG IN THE FIRST PLACE. Now I am back. Welcome back to me. I will be posting one post per week that will carry us through the week.

Let’s get the ball rolling!

Owning Our Growth Together.

YOUR SPIRIT #SPIRITUAL GROWTH #sacredSunday

As human beings we are 3 part-beings. Spirit, Soul and Body. Now let’s zero into the Spirit aspect. You are spirit before you become a human and you will return to being spirit at the end of your life journey. When you do not feed your spirit, it dies and causes an imbalance to all the other aspects of your life. You were gifted your spirit before conception. This part of your being will never die; its immortal and will live forever. So, it’s of absolute vitality to nourish. How do you truly nourish it? By connecting to your Creator and Source, God himself. More on that next week.

Question: Are you growing spiritually?

Pro tip: Never neglect your spirit being. Investing in it will make the difference between living an ordinary life to an extraordinary one. It’s the real key to success.

YOUR STYLE #MATERIAL GROWTH #styleMonday

Style is who you are without saying a word. Your style is your brand. Your brand is the story you tell verbally or non-verbally, either negative or positive and certainly has an impact whether you want it to or not. Spoken words, conduct, your attitude and fashions sense are all a reflection of your personal brand. If you don’t believe me, ask all those who didn’t get the job based on their dress sense which gave a wrong impression.

Question: What’s your style and does it represent you well?

Pro Tip: Create a positive impression and brand if you desire to be impactful.

YOUR MONEY #FINANCIAL GROWTH #moneyTuesday

“Money makes the world go round.” I am certain you are familiar with this statement. And it’s true. Money answers not all but MOST problems. There’s no way you can obtain more possessions such as property or whatever you desire without money. But before we go far, we should ask ourselves the reason or drive behind wanting money or loads of it if that’s what you want. However, I encourage you to be wealthy.

Question: Why do I want loads of money?

Pro Tip: You can never go wrong with learning to be financially savvy. All you have to do is start.

YOUR PHYSICAL FITNESS #PHYSICAL GROWTH #fitnessWednesday

How can you enjoy all the other facets of your life if you aren’t in good health? That’s why its important to take good care of your health. When you do this, its not only for yourself but for everyone else you value. But first and foremost, be fit for yourself. You owe yourself that much: to take care of your body, the vessel that carries you around. To eat healthy and exercise, to live a long- well balanced life is your responsibility.

Question: Am I physically fit? If not, why do you want to be fit?

Pro Tip: Investment into physical fitness improves mental health, productivity, confidence, self-discipline but above all else you will inspire others.

YOUR EMOTIONS #EMOTIONAL GROWTH #sentimentalThursday

The weakest man on the planet Earth is one that can not control his emotions. You can not for whatsoever reason allow your emotions to control you. It will destroy you. But if you don’t, they will not only destroy you but also everything else you love and have worked hard to build. That’s why emotional discipline is vital. Discipline means to perfect. Hence, it is to be your desire that you perfect, not your emotions but your reaction to them. It will play an essential role on your well-being. No matter what you go through, you should be able with the right tools be able to control your anxiety. Be able to go through an experience whether good or bad and be able to share with others so that they either obtain information or comfort to move forward. Emotional intelligence helps you heal. Nobody is perfect, we all have issues but we have to learn to deal with them accordingly.

Question: Am I emotionally balanced? What currently throws your emotions out of balance?

Tip: Change the way you feel and you will change the way you think.

YOUR SOCIAL LIFE #SOCIAL GROWTH #mingleFridays.

Developing successful relationships is one of the most fulfilling things we could ever do. Ultimately, this is why we were created. There is no greater feeling than that of a successful connection with other people. From sharing funny experiences to the tragic, it always helps you feel like you are not alone in this thing called life. Hence, support is absolutely vital. NO ONE IS AN ISLAND. The only way to move from that is to start talking. You need a social life. You need to network. Befriend those you believe have a similar drive or personality, beliefs and where you are going. Not to say there won’t be any drama, it will be there. But when there is resolution, true connection, friends that fight stay together and grow stronger.

Question: Are you social enough? Why is social interaction important to you?

Pro Tip: No one is an island. We all need people around us to survive.

YOUR FAMILY LIFE #FAMILY GROWTH #connectionSaturday

Family are the people placed in our lives to share the journey of life with us. They may or may be not related to you, but the tied bond formed by blood or a bond makes them family. It is not always easy to grow connection with family because we all grow up in different backgrounds and one family is different from another. A foundation of a successful family is LOVE. Love is patient, kind, not rude, not boastful and wishes the best for the other no matter what. Family will inevitably teach you these lessons but above all family will teach you TRUE LOVE…UNCONDITIONAL LOVE.

Question: How important is family to you? What do you love most about your family?

Pro Tip: An open family will teach you unconditional love.
