Forget the Past, Think about your Future!

You cannot change the past . What we can do is learn from it and look forward to the future. For the future we need to dream and we need goals. We must set goals to achieve. This will take us a step closer to the future we want to have. 

Goals + Hard Work = Our Dreams and Better Future!!!  

1. Think about your future, how you want it to be.
2. Set goals and make a plan to get to where you need to be to make your future a reality. 
3. Work hard and smart to achieve your goals, no matter how long it takes.
4. Be patient.
5. After you've achieved what you've wanted and you're where you wanted to be then look back and see how far you've come then look forward, set more goals, work hard and make an even better future for yourself. 

Good Luck! You can do it!

9 Tips: Life made simple!

We love to make life complicated. Truth is, Life is simple, we just make it so difficult for ourselves. Start to simplify your life little by little and soon you will be living a simple But Happy and Content life.

Follow these 9 easy tips:

1. Think Positively. Negative thoughts and a negative mindset only make things worse. Even if you're a realist it doesn't mean you have to be negative. In everything be positive it will help with tips 5, 6 and 9. And trust me it makes life so much greater and that much more worth it.
2. Exercise Daily. This is a must, there are too many people in this world suffering from lifestyle diseases, diseases that could very well be prevented if you just exercise and eat healthy (tip 3). Exercising has many benefits such as staying in shape, you have energy, reduces fatigue, reduces lifestyle diseases, provides circulation to your body aiding in great skin and so much more. It doesn't have to be exercise in gym, even taking the stairs up to your office or anywhere, taking a 10 minute walk everyday, walk your dog, cycle, a swim at home. There is so much you can do, research it.
3. Eat Healthy. This tip goes with the tip above. Eating healthy also if not the most important of the 2 tips reduces and prevents lifestyle diseases. I'm not saying that a night out or take-outs are out of the picture, all I'm saying is it should be 5:1, you should be eating more healthy than junk foods. This is a tip I need to take seriously in my life! Definitely!!! And for those of you who don't know, healthy food can be really delicious, you just have to research recipes and give it a chance.
4. Work Hard. Self explanatory! If you want to succeed and live a comfortable, debt free, luxurious life with no worries about money and your children's education, or food or any other financial issue then you have to work hard. The only time success comes before work is in the dictionary. Always work hard and work smart. Period.
5. Stay Strong. There is nothing like a strong person. Strong in their beliefs, their work ethic, their responsibilities and their life. Many of us forget to stay strong. Nothing can take down a strong person. And let's be honest here, in this life we need to be strong because only the strong survive and live this life!
6. Worry Less. Very Important!! If there's one thing I've learned in life is that worry gets you no where. Worrying does not change the situation, all it does is make you negative, depressed, unhappy and anxious, all the emotions and feelings you do not need in life. If you can change what you're worrying about then don't bother worrying about it, if it is out of your hands then do what I do just pray and hope for the best, for those of you who don't pray then don't worry just hope for the best and then take it from there. Remember to think positive through it all (Tip 1).
7. Dance More. I love this one. It doesn't have to be in the literal sense. I would change this to ENJOY MORE (the little things and the big things). If we learn to enjoy life now and enjoy the different things in life, this will make life that much more amazing. This will also make us happy (tip 9) and more grateful and closer to our loved ones.
8. Love Often. Now I know this statement may be misleading. I personal think we need to learn to love. Obviously loving our families and spouses and friends comes naturally. But we also need to give love to people who don't have it like the homeless people who cannot help themselves, people who are unfortunate and needy. Be sincere. Basically love those who need love, help those who need help. And most of all give love a chance. Love can change a person's life, trust me. Love makes the world go round not just money.
9. Last but not least Be Happy. This is also self explanatory. A happy Life is a Life Worth Living. When you are happy everything seems to fall into place. Being happy and being positive go hand in hand, Being happy also reduces stress which is a very great thing. 

Life Made Simple.

Peace. Happiness. Love. Success.

5 Lessons in Life from Dr.Seuss!

These lessons are slowly helping me to be the person I'm trying to be... A better version of me! 

You Create Your Own Opportunities!

Road to success EP37!

Foyin's Road To Success:

Name: Foyin Ogunrombi (known as Foyin Og)

Occupation: Full time student (currently in matric); Part time blogger.

Goal in life: "My goal in life is to be happy. I want to empower others and create a brand or an empire that will revolutionize the South African fashion/media industry."

What is success? "Success is often defined as material possessions to many people, but I don't necessarily think that's true. To truly be successful, you should be able to wake up in the morning, look yourself in the mirror and be happy with what you see. If you are happy with who you are as a person, and you do what you love and it fulfills you, you are surrounded by people who love, support and inspire you to constantly grow and better yourself, you can live in a tiny house and ride a bicycle and be successful. Success is relative - it is not the same for every person; There isn't a 'success check list' given to us at birth containing things we have to achieve."

What have you already achieved? "In a personal capacity, success is mostly academic to me.I was elected by my peers onto both the Student Representative Council and the Student Executive Councils - both of which are prestigious positions; I achieve good marks in school and I was recently accepted to my ideal university. In a professional capacity, I was elected onto the Seventeen Magazine Style Counsel, through which I made some amazing friendships and potential media connections and networking opportunities. This led to a quiz I made being published in Seventeen Magazine, a feature in StyleGF mobi-mag and most recently, representing the iconic Baked The Blog at the Woolworths Style By Night event. Obviously, also reaching 20 000 page views on my blog was a big success for me, as well! It shows the progress I have made in my blog."

What do you want to achieve? "In a personal capacity, I would love to pass matric with as many distinctions as possible and go on to get my university degree in business science. In a professional capacity, I would love to carry on how I am going - networking with influential fashion/business people in South Africa and abroad; growing my brand into something that is inspiring and something I can look on to be proud of and other things that come along with growing my band, such as appearances, endorsements, brand relationships, etc. I am incredibly excited for what the future holds! I am on the pursuit of happiness and I'll take victory in the little things. God has given me many talents and I will use them to declare greatness and ongoing success into my life. :)"

All the best on your journey Foyin... Wishing you a lot of success.
