we have to find a reason to wake up every morning and live

It’s easy to become cynical after listening to the President’s State of the Nation Speech, the Budget speech and all the mayhem at the countries Universities.

Financial Coaching by Suyan Budhoo at Pretoria

Despite everything that’s going on around us, we cannot curl up and die, we have to find a reason to wake up every morning and live. And, while you are living why not live the best version of your life. We cannot ignore the realities of the world around us, but we can choose to create a better reality for ourselves.

We live in stressful times, but why not use it as an excuse to create a healthy lifestyle for yourself. Exercise has been proven to reduce stress, increase energy and activate the mind to solve problems. So instead of panicking while watching the news on tv, go for a jog.

If money is tight and you are thinking about how you can keep your family entertained without spending a small fortune at the mall, its time you start looking for cheap (or even free) alternatives. Family picnics in the park, playing a game of cricket in your backyard or even just having a binge session of your favourite series are just some of the cost effective ways you can still have fun.

Birthdays, mother’s day and father’s day have become so commercialized that we believe that the best presents are the most expensive ones. Being a mother myself, the things I most enjoy is a creative meal cooked by my kids or the handmade cards. The thing about adversity is that it forces you to tap into your creative talents that may be lying dormant.

It’s easy to complain about everything that’s going wrong, sometimes all it takes is an open mind and flexibility to live a happier, healthier life. Before you complain about everything that’s going wrong, focus on what you can do to turn it around.

Suyan Budhoo – South African Life Coach

South African Life Coach & Motivational Speaker Pretoria

Suyan is a combination of a painful past, a great present and an even greater future. She is a mother of two teenagers with life experience beyond her years. She is a firm believer of the past not having much influence on who we are now and who we are capable of becoming, therefore she chooses not to dwell on her history.

She has worked in the legal environment in excess of 10 years with experience in corporate law in the private and public sector. In law we are usually expected to find solutions to every problem, she therefore believes that becoming a coach was a natural progression for her. Knowing business culture definitely gives her an edge when it comes to coaching executives and project coaching. That being said she believes that every person is unique and has their own way in which they accept and process information. She combines her experience in the legal field with her skills and tools as a coach to help her clients achieve their goals as ceo’s, directors and managers quicker and more efficiently.

Spiritual is what we become as a result of our experiences on the inside, and it is definitely not interchangeable with the word religion, as religion is what comes from the outside. As a spiritual coach she chooses to believe that greatness lies within each and every human being. She lives by the maxim that “if faith in ourselves had been more extensively taught and practised, a very large portion of the evils and miseries that we have would have vanished.” Her aim therefore is to see every individual achieve their highest potential.

By virtue of the fact that we are human we have relationships, some fail to make it into our present and we cannot live without others. There are people in this world that will not like you no matter what you do, yet there are others who would love you despite all your imperfections. Sometimes we do not know who we are, yet we expect others to understand us, we place unfair expectations on others and forget to check if we are meeting those expectations ourselves. She recently came across this quote by Charles F Glassman “ Before you discover your soulmate you must first discover your soul” this definitely resonates with who she is.

Due to all the failures and tragedies that she personally experienced and overcame Suyan is now on a path to help others overcome the challenges they are experiencing. She believes that her purpose on earth is to bring about a sense of pride, fulfilment and possibility to everyone she has the good fortune of meeting. Through her writing, public speaking and coaching she wishes to advocate the message that anything is possible, all you have to do is BELIEVE.

Never Give Up

Yes life is hard, not just yours. Everyone has at sometime or the other been brought to their knees in pain, anguish, despair or fear. If you’ve lived long enough you are sure to have had some sort of “down time”. At the time it may have seemed like a dark cloud hovering over you as if it would never lift, but it did and you are still here reading this post.

Motivational Coach South Africa

When life throws us curve balls, it comes with no warnings or instructions on how to deal with it. We are left to fumble our way through difficult, unexplored situations with little or no skills on how to deal with all “the stuff” that is thrown our way.

A few years ago the highest cause of suicide was lost love, but today it’s debt. Life is forever changing, nothing remains the same. If yesterday, you were unhappy, then who’s to say you can’t be wildly blissful today. If yesterday you were jobless, who’s to say today you can’t receive a fantastic job offer. If yesterday you were hurting because you thought you lost the love of your life, who’s to say you can’t find your soulmate today. As cliché as this may sound, after every storm there is a rainbow.

Motivation is in Your-Self

If, as you read this, you are going through a difficult time financially, a divorce, or your life as you know it is not going the way you would like it to, then take it from me, someone who had the misfortune to go through all of these disasters simultaneously, you are not alone, and this too will pass. It’s not unusual to think that God is unfair or he has something against us being happy, I had those thoughts a few times and I’m sure I’m not alone. But when you are mature enough and have seen some of the problems that people face, you cannot help but feel grateful for your problems too. This may sound obscure to some, but in comparison to terminal cancer and being jobless or homeless, my problems seemed insignificant.

I obviously still felt weighed down by my problems, except now I felt a lot luckier than most. I believe this is what got me through those difficult days, knowing that there are people out there that still have the courage to face a new day without knowing where their next meal will come from or if this will be their last day. If they could face such unsurmountable circumstances with grace then so could I.

During my most difficult days I was reminded of this quote “What is worse than losing everything, it is losing the faith that we can gain everything back.” In those words lie the secret of overcoming any difficult situation. Have faith that tomorrow, or next week or maybe next year things will look better, but never give up or lose that faith. Your tears will be replaced by smiles, your lack by abundance and your pain by love.
