Why You Should Start a Network Marketing Business

Today, the economic situation worldwide is not that conducive for most businesses. This is the main reason why most of the business sectors are not as active as they were in the past. This is the main reason being the many cases of job retrenchments today. On the other hand, the unstable economy has led to the recent high cost of living that is being experienced in the world. As a result, many are looking of ways through which they can satisfy their economic needs. One of the most common jobs that people are turning to is network marketing. There are a couple of reasons for this.

 

The first reason for this is somehow obvious; all of us are looking for some extra cash. This is very true. No one is satisfied with the amount of money we earn. It might sound a lot but once you try to equally budget, it never seems to be enough. There is this one thing that will always miss. Network marketing is one of the best avenues to earn a couple of extra dollars. No one can assure you that the returns you get from network marketing will fully supplement for your needs but at least they will improve the situation. Look at it from this perspective; you will be above water! 

 

On the other hand, the network marketing market is thriving at the moment. Many companies have come to the realization that network marketing is the best way of marketing their products. As a result, they have turned to it for their marketing needs. As a result, the market has really increased in terms of the number of clients available. Therefore, it is only wise that all the business elites try and benefit from this ‘goldmine’. This is best time to give network marketing a try.

 

Another reason why you should try network marketing today is the simple fact that it will cater for some of your grocery needs hence minimize the grocery cost. Statistics have shown that most of the major companies involved in network marketing deal with nutritional products such as meal replacements, energy drinks, vitamins plus protein bars. 

 

As a distributor, you will get the products at a wholesale price that is relatively lower than the prices at the shops. Therefore, you will get most of the items in your grocery list at cheaper rates. This is an advantage by itself!

Can You Attain Complete Spiritualism with the Help of Knowledge?

Man deluded himself to believe that he was all-powerful. He began to reject the presence of a superior power, the creator of this universe. Undoubtedly, knowledge gives the feeling of strength and power. One can defeat a physically stronger adversary who is ignorant by using his mental prowess and skill. Ignorance is really a course. However, it is better to be ignorant, live in bliss than boast because of a little knowledge, and make a fool of oneself.

 

Today, everything is on the basis of knowledge. Man thinks that if you have knowledge, you have power. It is on partially true. According to the religious scriptures, knowledge lies within one’s self. Only self-knowledge can give man the spirituality to withstand the vicissitudes of life, without getting disturbed. Knowledge of the world of senses is only superficial and tends to create waves of dissatisfaction, greed and lust only. Any person who has realized that can certainly say with clam authority that real knowledge comes from self-realization and generates power to take life with all its joys and sorrows, vicissitudes, pleasures and pains. 

 

It cannot be denied that religious preachers and teachers have tried to exploit the ignorant, underprivileged and the gullible due to their tall claims of having a perfect understanding of scriptures. It was this gross misuse of knowledge by the Brahmans, which provoked Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavira to revolt against Hinduism, which had become too dogmatic and beyond the comprehension of the layman. 

 

However, despite gaining all knowledge, not all things that happen on this earth are as per man’s will. Nature still controls him – earth, droughts, floods, diseases, etc. Nature has its own ways of restoring the balance to keep the wheels of the universe going. Apart from that, man is until at the mercy of his basic instincts. Not all his knowledge has helped him to overcome his basic emotions of jealousy, hate, lust, greed, etc. Thus, he behaves in a most irrational manner on many occasions. No wonder, the world is divided into two power blocs and the people live in fear of another world war as some people in power make moves as if they are just playing a game of chess. They act most irresponsible.

 

Therefore, in spite of man’s tall claims to knowledge, man still today remains a victim of luck. Knowledge has certainly given him power but not the full power. 

Does Spirituality Control the Destiny Of Man?

The best and greatest creation of God is man. God has also imbibed the ability to do the most powerful things on earth. Therefore, he feels to be at par with God from some aspects. Hence, the destiny of man lies in his own hands. Claims that God controls man’s destiny is not at all true. The work that man does, he gets the results according to the work done. His character knows man. One has to pay hugely for some of their mistakes in themselves. 

 

“There is a divinity that saves our ends”, says Shakespeare. Sayings are that divinity controls the actions of man. The thought process is controlled by this divine power. Whether it is a Western or any other Eastern country, every country believes that stars control our fate. Astrology is the science of foretelling your future. One’s horoscope gives an indication of position of one’s all-powerful stars. The rulers consult tantrics and seek the blessing of priests before taking an important step. The common man believes auspicious days. The fear leads them to the hands of fate much more. It works through with hence. It is almost impossible to predict the outcome of any venture. History is full of examples, which show the ruthless working of fate. Battles were lost or won by a quirk of fate in the last minutes. 

 

However, this philosophy of fate is not acceptable to many. They say fatalists are cowards. They lack strength, a strong will and self-confidence. People who sit down without doing anything are nothing but too foolish. They believe that fate will do something for them. They do not realize the basic fact that if they do not work themselves, then fate too, does not have the power to make them stand up and move forward. Man gifted with courage and enterprise discards this philosophy. They believe in action and struggle to achieve their goal. These people conquer the Alps and cross the Pacific Ocean. 

 

In fact, the doctrine of fate is out of date in the scientific age. The realization that man can create something new has occurred in him. Not luck but labor is his watchword. He has adopted the motto of Ulysses to work hard, to search, to find and not to yield. Fortune only favors the brave. Fate is not blind. It also obeys the law of nature, the law of cause and effect. 

Positive Thinking and Determination Helps One to Attain Goals

Will power is, indeed, a great force in the world. Tenacity of purpose is in most cases a guarantee of ultimate success. On the contrary, a man who wavers at the first sign of difficulty, feels his confidence running out at the initial setbacks and loses enthusiasm at the first sign of failure can never achieve his goal. He is utterly lacking in the most essential condition of success – will power. Some tasks are seemingly impossible, but can be accomplished with determination and hard work. One should not therefore, lose courage in the face of difficulties. 

 

The efficacy of will power can be demonstrated by numerous examples from the lives of common people. A person of weak constitution who is constantly plagued with one or other ailment can bring about vast improvement in the health merely by a pertinacious observance of certain rules. It may not bear instant results, but will certainly bring about dynamic change in the level of fitness. 

 

Similarly, a student can win distinction in the examination, if he sets his heart on it and applies himself with sincere determination. The reason why so many students fail in their examinations is not that the students lack the will to pass. They are indifferent to their failure or success, as they have no definite purpose in life. 

 

No impediments can stand in the way of a person who makes up his mind to attain his objective. There is countless number of examples of people, who in spite of being physically handicapped, have achieved targets, which would appear impossible even to normal people. Such people do not allow themselves to be overwhelmed by the heaviest odds. Instead, they work systemically to minimize natural deficiencies to achieve their goals. They simply dare to defy their destiny by their hope, courage, enterprise and dedication. 

 

Any man who pursues his ideals with determination is likely to meet with success. There are countless pupils, whose lives are a classic instance of the triumph of will. They have also known despair, failure and defeat, but what puts them apart from others is that they do not succumb to these setbacks. They continue to work for the achievement of their goals. 

 

A man with an iron will power, positive approach to life, can certainly pave a way for himself in spite of obstacles and hardships confronting him at every step. The secret of success in life is to carry on steadfastly with eyes fixed on the goals one has set oneself in life. Everyone has within himself the capacity to work hard and the tendency to cultivate a strong will power and optimistic approach, an invaluable asset to succeed in life.

Self-Reliance Is a Part of Optimism

Self-reliance literally means satisfying every want by oneself and not depending frequently for it. However, in the nature’s scheme of things, all livings and non-living are independent and sustain each other. Plants, animals, human beings cannot exist in isolation, they share life together. When an individual begins to take this dependence for guaranteed and ceases to make any efforts for himself, then he becomes like a parasite. Although we need other to live, so long as we are not self-reliant, we have not started living properly. It is applicable to individuals as well as to nations. 

 

Normally, an individual from the very beginning is taught to be self-reliant. A child is sent to school, then to college to prepare himself to face life. Today, parents want not only their sons but also daughters to be self-reliant. However, it is a pity that when we talk of self-reliance, we normally refer to economic independence. 

 

Self-reliance does not mean merely an ability to earn one’s living. It implies much more. A person cannot be called truly self-reliant if he has learned to be not only self-supporting but also to live right through a rigorous cultivation of spiritual and moral values to guide him in his life. Such a person thinks without fear and works with devotion. He develops confidence in his abilities, so essential for success in life. He develops power of independent thinking and taking decisions boldly. Such total self-reliance enhances his self-respect. 

 

It is a pity that man has become so selfish. Unless man understands the true implication of the word self-reliance, there can be no moral and spiritual regeneration. It is a lesson that should be taught early in life while the young minds are being trained for a vocation. It is education about which can teach the impressionable young apprentice to learn to live and not merely to learn to earn a living. 

 

Thus, a lesson in self-reliance can be begun early in the life so that no one grows up to be selfish, narrow-minded and live like a parasite on others. Such total self-reliance will bring about a dramatic change in the lives of man and help in promoting a spirit of mutual love, respect and faith. It helps users in an era, which Gandhiji had envisaged, where man will not feel degraded if asked to do menial work. On the other hand, he will take pride in being self-sufficient.

Positive Thinking and Its Effect on Health

We all know that feeling sad can lead to depression if it’s not resolved, but what can negative thinking do to your general health and wellbeing. Research has shown, that people who are positive thinkers tend to have fewer colds and live longer and enjoy being in a state of good health.

 

The reason for this state overall improved health is not hard to understand. There is a direct connection between our emotions and our physical body. This connection has been known, though not completely understood for a long time. People may grow older physically and this may be quite noticeable, but inwardly they remain young and confident and their energy levels remain high, when they maintain a positive outlook on life. 

 

What is clearly known is that in people who maintain positive thinking, the immune system is heightened by increased levels of hormones designed to build resistance to common infections such as colds and the influenza virus. 

 

The feeling of being in control or life and circumstances together with optimism about life in general helps to help us make choices in other areas of our life. People, who feel relaxed and confident and in control tend to eat better foods, exercise more and spend more time with family and friends. These activities are themselves, contribute to an improvement of health and wellbeing.

 

People who are think negatively about their circumstances in life and who don’t look after their nutritional needs and exercise regularly, often become focused on finding ways to increase their escape from such feelings, over eating and addictions to cigarettes, drugs and alcohol are common symptoms of negative thoughts. 

 

Experiencing emotional wellbeing and balance doesn’t mean never feeling sad or upset about things. It means reducing the stress in our lives and remaining positive despite all we may be facing. It is in believing that all of our struggles in life are not unique problems that only we face. People with serious, even life-threatening health problems are known to go into remission or see immediate improvement in their symptoms when they focus on life outside of their health problems. 

 

Emotional well-being is one of the most important gifts we can give to ourselves. Doing regular emotional checkups and ensuring we do something to help aid our emotional well-being is essential to maintaining a healthy life. 

3 Balances of Saving Your Relationship

The word balance is a very common one and it used in everyday life. It is a very important thing if you want to save your relationship. The people who are in relationships which are going down will realize that they have ignored or failed to attain the relationship balance. The thing that you should first understand is the meaning of this phrase. This phrase talks about three diverse types of balance and every type of balance is very important in a relationship if you want it to be successful. 

 

The first balance is between your choices and behavior patterns, and your partner’s needs. The truth is that we all have choices that work well with us and only suit our lifestyle. However, the fact that you have a partner, you will have to prepare yourself for a change of give and take so that you can save your relationship. Adjustments so as to please your partner have got to be made so that you can be in a position to restore your relationship. If by any chance you have contradicting personality characters involved. The truth is that you cannot change your partner’s personality and so what you can do is trying hard to accommodate one another and bring about helpful changes.

 

The second balance is dependence and independence. If you are having a hard time in restoring your relationship this simply means that one partner is trying to balance dependence and independence. This comes about when you are always dependent on your partner for poignant support, in making decisions, going out, and you have made your partner to feel that he or she cannot do without him. This will make them to feel that they are subdued and ensnared. This usually happens to men and in most cases that feel that the women want so much from them. For you to be able to restore your relationship then you have to note some independence and balance.

 

The last balance is speaking and listening. This point is self-explanatory. There are many people who simply understand these two principles but very few of them implement them. The minute you start quarrelling one another, then you lose your relationship powers. The minute your ears are not working effectively then the thought of you saving your relationship fades away. It is advisable that you listen to one another when you are both at peace. The best thing that you are supposed to do is to take time and listen to one another’s idea about the relationship and then find solutions to the problems in the relationship. With effort you can be able to use these three balances and save your relationship. 

Escaping Toxic Relationships

Not many know the true definition of what a relationship is. Many think of it as an avenue of getting laid while others think of it as a bond between two people who find each other attractive. All these are just but wild guesses. Yes, they make some sense but none of them get even close to the real definition of a relationship. A true love relationship can only be defined by its characters. A true relationship is one that is based on understanding, where none thinks of himself only, one that has an automatic chemistry to it and above all one that is made of frequent arguments and instant make-ups to each.

 

On the other hand, the exact opposite to this is a toxic love relationship also known as an unhealthy relationship. A ‘love doctor’ once defined toxic love relationships as bonds between two needy individuals. In the long run, it ends up being a union defined by parasitical behavior. Just like the normal parasitical relationships in the animal world, there is a victim and a parasite in these relationships; each with his or her own degree of ‘sickness’. In some cases, the situation is quite mild that one can hardly notice that the relationship is toxic. It is only after the effects reveal themselves that they notice the relationship was unhealthy, but it is normally too late by then. However, there are ways of escaping such relationships.

 

Once you find out that you are in a toxic relationship, the best thing to do is to leave that relationship immediately before it gets worse. To some, this tends to be too harsh for them to do it immediately. This is normal since the two of you had already formed some kind of bond. However, there is still a remedy for such a scenario. 

 

All that you are required to do is to take some time off while the two of you re-think things out. Preferably, this should be at least a month and at most three months. In this time, there are certain conditions that the two of you should stick to. They include; not keeping in touch for the whole time, you should reset the clock once one of you goes against the conditions, write letters to each other exposing your feelings and present them after the period is over. Make sure that you meet in a very neutral area. Come to a mutual agreement once you meet or agree to disagree. Make sure the two of you come to an agreement during the final meeting. This is the only way out! 

Facts about Relationships That You Should Know

Relationships have become trending topics in our streets today. Many are falling in and out of relationships each with his or her own reason. “I do not think I can do this any longer” or “I think it is best that we break up”; this are some of the common break-up lines that such individuals use. Despite the fact that most partners have various reasons why they decided to break up with their partners, all these reasons trickle down to one main reason, this being lack of understanding between the two individuals. Love is based on understanding, without it, its dead. In addition to this, there are certain facts that each couple should understand for their relationship to blossom.

 

To start with, relationships are never accidental; they do not just happen out of the blues. Many tend to take their relationships thinking that they played no part in creating them. Such individuals tend to be so proud that they leave all the relationship-related responsibilities for their spouses. This never works! We are all supposed to make some effort to maintain the relationships and invest a reasonable amount of time in our spouses; it will pay off in the end. 

 

Secondly, all relationships are based on needs. When entering into the relationship, each party had its own needs or desires of which they expected to fulfill through the relationship. Therefore, it is the relationship of the partner to identify these desires and make sure that he or she fulfills them to the fullest. Do not wait for your partner to verbally express his nor her desires, it is up to you to find them out and solve them. This is one of the areas where understanding is required most in the relationship. Still on that note, be patient. All the good relationships take some time to build. Do not rush into things, go step by step. This way, you will get to learn more about each other and give love time to grow and permanently settle between you.

 

Thirdly, grudges are never part of relationships. It is a fact that no relationship can work with one or both parties holding grudges against the other. A perfect relationship can only be founded by a perfect couple. On the other hand, a perfect coupe is one that has no provision for grudges between them. Everyone has imperfections; therefore it is up to the spouse to understand, forgive and forget. Remember, relationships are only as good as the people in them!
