    Adam Johnson, Dynamic Life Strategist, Asjohnson Agency

  • No Impossible

    Hajer Rikabi, President and Founder, Thrive Coaching CORP

    There is nothing called I can't, we all have different and unique powers within us. If we can create a small chance to know ourselves better, we would see that power clearly like a full moon in a clear night. Then we can make it the source of our future's achievements. In fact every achievement in our lives is from that invisible power. And without a doubt knowing it and learn how to use this power will have a successful impact in our lives. MORE >

    For instance let me ask you:
    How many times you were surprised by the action you took and thought for a moment that nothing is impossible? I guarantee for you that you had a few if not many. Because It is the power of trying to live and staying safe, and you can change that perspective to make a better life and your dreams to come true.

    *Example of powerful decisions:

    - Taking a risk because it's the best though right now to your best knowledge, even though it may have consequences.
    - A decision you took that you have never thought about but the urge of staying safe or forbidding a harm to you or your beloved ones.

    BIG Q : Why when it comes to a good decision to make your life better you hesitate?
    This possible decision doesn't have to be for urgency or just to survive. Instead think of it like it might be your only decision you have to make to be the person you wish to be in your mind and dreams.

    For me It took me 24 hours to take the decision that turned my life 360 degree. When was my first thought about this decision? At 12:00 AM believe it or not. Searched about this idea I had and asked myself what do I have to make it work, honestly I thought I had nothing. But I know I learn fast and I'm willing to make it work. And I did it I was a completely different person.From house wife and people pleaser to self love and I'm working to create a new awareness in my community and nation to enjoy my life and to leave wiser generation behind me.

    Ask yourself: What's stopping me from being the person that I want to be?
    What I want to add to this world? and if so,
    What are my possibilities?
    Cause you have some...............

    لايوجد شي اسمه لا استطيع, كلنا نملك قوى مختلفةوفريدة من نوعها موجودة بداخلنا.

  • Self-Improvement

    Hajer Rikabi, President and Founder, Thrive Coaching CORP

    As a human I can't imagine life without the self-improvement. Self improvement is a human nature since ever, it's overlapping in every aspect in our lives. From the basics of the life like the way we talk, walk, eat and deal to the life improvement level education, goals, relationships. MORE >

    Self improvement is the way of wanting things, people and life to be better in every way we can control. It is the learning to new things to add to our life's basket. The basket that we have to take a look at once in a while to decide it's time to clean, and when cleaning happens we are freeing space to add new things to go well in our life right now in this stage.

    As to my basket it took me a while to see and another while to understand that I need to clean it. When I found that basket It was heavy and big like I was dragging a big tent behind me, and because of it's heavy wight sometimes I just sit by it and cry. After I was done with the crying that happened many many times, I decided to take a look at it from a curious mind, just like a child when exploring the kitchen.

    That's not mine, and that , and that, long pause and realized nothing in there belong to me. So I decided to place everything where it belong and to whom, learned about myself and what I like. Like I am a whole new person and found my way to improve myself to what I value and what really belong to me.

    SOO What's in your basket?

    انا لا استطيع ان اتخيل الحياة من دون تطوير ذاتي. التطوير الذاتي هو طبيعة بشرية منذ الازل. وهو متداخل في كل جانب من جوانب حياتنا. من الاساسيات مثلا كيف نتكلم , نمشي , ناكل ونتعامل الى مستوى التطوير الحياتي كمثال التعليم, اهداف وعلاقات. التطوير الذاتي هو الحاجة التي نسعى بها لتطوير الاشياء , الناس والحياة ليكونوا بافضل نسخ وكل شي نستطيع التحكم به. التطوير الذاتي هو تعلم كل شي جديد لاضافته لسلة الحياة. وهي السلة التي يجب علينا ان نلقي نضرة عليها بين الحين والاخر لنقرر انه وقت التنظيف. وعندما يحين وقت التنظيف فنحن نسمح بافراغ مساحة لاضافة اشياء جديدة تتماشى مع حياتنا الان وفي هذه المرحلة.
