Have you made the right resolutions this year?

2014 is here !! Every new year resonates with new resolutions and objectives. People always ask : ‘so what are your resolutions this year?’ Resolutions are a great way to push oneself toward the set goals .

I personally have been very good at setting lists of resolutions every year. And throughout the year I would go back to them and re-evaluate, check the developments and try to motivate myself to stick to them. I have done this for years. I have indeed achieved some of the goals and failed at some others.

In the real world, we see people going from one side to the other, working long hours, looking for bigger paychecks and bonuses, aiming for the latest car model, the latest smartphone, getting into debts for buying a big house and even for a family vacation…. The question that comes to my mind when I see all this is do their goals and achievements make them really happy? Is getting a loan for buying a bigger or more luxurious car contributes to inner happiness?

Of course, every one of us is different. Our perception of life is and should be different. If going after a better paying job and more responsibility is what brings us real happiness and serenity, then okay.
I think we should be careful when we set life resolutions and goals. When we make a list, do we set goals for our real selves or do we fix objectives that will give us reassurance and validation from the society?

For this year, it’s taking me longer to come up with my list. In fact, as I see, as I get older the less long my resolutions list is and the more meaning I try to add to them.


What’s your resolution this year ?

Services en ligne que j’ai essayés au Maroc

J’adore pouvoir commander en ligne dans le confort de chez moi et recevoir ma commande à domicile ou au bureau. Ici, je partage avec vous quelques expériences de TPE/PME marocaines qui proposent des services en ligne plutôt satisfaisants. Hmall Ici j’avais commandé un iPhone. J’avais peur de me faire livrer un faux. J’avais payé en ligne et ai recu ma commande au bureau. Le site propose également d’autres produits électroménagers, maison, vêtements, accessoires etc. Avantage : Prix intéressants et gain de temps. http://www.hmall.ma/ Mall en ligne Je ne suis pas une adepte du fouinage dans les boutiques. Je préfère regarder en ligne et prendre le temps de lire les reviews etc. Mallenligne me convient parce qu’il y a un grand choix de produits comparables à ceux des magasins de para les moins chers de la ville. Je passe ma commande en ligne (faut créer un compte) et la livraison se fait le lendemain. Avantage : Livraison gratuite et paiement à la livraison. http://mallenligne.ma...

Train your mind to make you feel good

I was recently having a conversation with a friend who was complaining about how she doesn't have any help at home and that she hated all that house chores from cooking to cleaning etc. She spoke about the subject passionately and I could feel how she felt about it all. She also explained that she couldn't find anyone to give her a hand and that the potential candidates didn't want to work during summertime. Basically what I understood is that she's stuck. I could almost recommend her moving to a hotel room and being taken care of but I knew that wasn't an option. This made think about a good piece of advice that I heard in one of the audiobooks. Wayne Dyer said: 'If you're not doing what you love and loving what you do, you have 2 choices to make: 1) change what you're doing or 2) change how you feel about what you're doing. I believe that the second option is extremely powerful. While there's so much vibe about 'leaving your job and...
