"Missing You": A Socialmedia Perspective !

"I Miss You", Do you still have that same feeling the same old way after the socialmedia life? In the good old days of the Eighties and Nineties, missing people made sense, nowadays, missing people became more or less totally different due to the unlimited connectivity, you can get anyone almost anytime ! But let's get back to the basics , How do you Miss someone while having him on your Facebook for example? 

Does the online presence replace the actual existence? Honestly, Never! If you take as an example a class of a global MBA spread over 80 countries after finishing their studies, would Facebook replace the actual MBA experience? Facebook made it possible for people to not lose their connections because before Facebook, no one would have known a single thing about his school colleagues and friends, this is a leap in connectivity amd understanding the other but still the Emotional connection is based on actual real life experience, 

Facebook can re-create memories but can't create them in the first place. 

The connectivity is on absolute term very beneficial , however , Don't you really miss the real person and the real interaction . 

I can say that Facebook plays a distinguished role in maintaining relationships but in the same time , it gives you second thoughts that You might not see the person you are connected to again, this gives a weird situation between perception and reality!

In a practical sense, Socialmedia has helped in keeping people together.

The independence of time,space,demographics,the ability to connect at any time is an unbelievable advantage of Socialmedia.

We would love to nurture the feeling of belonging, construct meaningful conversations, act on our  global socialisation.

In Conclusion, Humanity is about expressing your emotions and Socialising wherever you are to bring a smile on your face:) 

Egyptian Note

There are a lot of economic and political happenings that are going through in Egypt those days , the jurisdiction law, the demonstration law, the incapable government , the inadequate constitutional base, the revolution's high hopes are now faced with a shocking reality that brings everybody on their knees , the revolutionaries, the ruling brotherhood, the laymen Egyptians and even the Elitists are all down! The revolutionary dreams turned out to dark nightmares , especially with the power blackouts, rising unemployment and crippled economic growth!  Moreover, Egypt is in a polarised situation between the Princes of Vengeance who want to retaliate against proclaimed years of oppression and humiliation in the prisons and a dry mix of a wide array opposition made up of intellectuals, revolutionaries and non-revolutionary civil state proponents . 

The Political bottom line is chaotic economic conditions whereby even Egyptians abstain from Investing in their own country. The devaluation of the Egyptian pound is hitting everybody, the only positive effect from the government 's perspective is the decrease in the debt size due to the massive devaluation and subsequent inflation . The cost of narrowing down the budget deficit is very high, the civil unrest that will follow does not justify it.

What Do You think? How can Egyptians resolve this Political Paralysis?, We all have a problem with Egyptian Politics now, the usual line of thoughts, Why this happened? So bad, that this what we have after the Revolution and After Democracy!  Because the Brothers are more Politically Skilled to win Elections despite their Management incompetence? 

Is it because of an Opposition Disconnected from the roots? 

So WHAT? Most of Revolutions fail to attain their targets!  Hell No, Egyptians are you happy with what is happening?

Again, "Focus on the How not the why, when and what only", HOW CAN EGYPT GET OUT OF THIS TRAP? Share your views! 

Tell me How :)

"Focus on the How not the Why, When and What only".

That was the advice given by Mohamed El-Erian's Father, one of the most successful living Egyptians (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_A._El-Erian) . 

The words kept ringing in my mind, Focus on the "How,not the why,when,what only", very impressive because it covers the logic, the timing and the substance of any problem but let's think , How can we use this "Paradigm"?

Let's take something hypothetical, you have a problem with your weight, the usual line of thoughts, Why I am overweight? So bad, I am overweight because I eat a lot, I am inconsistent in my eating habits and I don't exercise enough, Great , but So WHAT? 99% of overweight people have the same reasons and the same logic that led them to being overweight! If you use the "Focus on the How not the why, when and what only". paradigm, you would address the problem differently and more positively ! Simply think "How Do People Lose weight and How Can I do it"? Check  success drivers of weight loss and how can you fire up you "WillPower" to do the same, don't focus on the problem as it would absorb you , focus on how you can solve the problem taking different perspectives? 

Another application if the paradigm, The ancient Chinese notion of happiness (fu 福) has five elements: longevity, wealth, health, virtue, and living out one’s natural span well. "Happiness", it is not about what makes you happy, it is "How You define Your Own Happiness "? Does happiness mean your beautiful kids, Does happiness mean success, Does happiness mean "a Family", Does happiness mean "Freedom" , Does happiness mean "Successful Marriage", Does Happiness mean "enjoying or performing  Arts, music or sports"? Does happiness mean "Praying"? Does Happiness mean "Eating and Drinking"? Does Happiness mean "Sex"? Does Happiness mean "Travelling"? Does happiness mean "Money"? If you think about how you actually define "Happiness" and breakdown the elements of your definition of Happiness , each one of us would have his/her own set of Happiness variables that clearly frame his own "Happiness" and afterwards we should think clearly about "How we can make ourselves happy by prioritising those elements of Happiness?"  Happiness is not a tangible materialistic thing that you can touch and feel, it is the Mindset of "How do You Define Your Own Happiness"? 

The Paradigm of "Focus on the How not the why, when and what only" can have endless streams of thoughts and applications. 

Now i want you to think again about this golden advice How would you "Focus on the How not the why, when and what only"?:) Please Share Your thoughts. 

The Choice is Yours: Simply You!

Through your  journey in life, everyone gets through many periods of the roller coaster of Connection and Disconnection with his own Higher Self. 

You have definitely experienced the peak time in your life when everything went right and everything seemed flawless. 

As life is hard generally with so many illogical, irrational and inconsequential events, it takes a real effort to maintain your energy level,  your positive spirit and to raise your performance bar.In order to be on top of the change that happens , you have to be continuously connected to your Higher Self.

The connection to your Higher Self which can possibly be described as the peak performance which requires a change in how you approach life and how you change your mindset. 

Let's have a try to connect to our Higher Self this morning through the following affirmations:

-"I trust and I don't want to control! " :Try to trust your team, today, give everyone in your life the benefit of the doubt and don't try to control and see the results, Amazing, Right?

-"I appreciate my blessings": When you wake up and in the first hours of your day, think of your blessings, the best of all is you are conscious , that you can stand on your feet, that you can prepare your coffee,smell fresh air and that you won't starve today, you have the health,wealth and energy for today, you have your "Will to Change", "Appreciate your Blessings" and don't take anything for granted.

-"I love and I don't need": Think positively about all the aspects of your life , Life is a choice , you should choose to love most of everything you do, not to just need it. It might theoretical but true, there is a big difference between loving your job and needing it, if you love it, you will get the best out of you, if you need it, you will hardly see yourself in your performance , you will be a shadow because you will simply be mentally and emotionally disconnected.

-"I care and I am not insensitive": Today, try to care about others, it doesn't matter how powerful you are because power is always In a flux , so try to be careful about others today, think of yourself as an element of change rather than an element of control.

-"I am filled up and I am not empty" : You are certainly richer than what you think you are, your experiences, your values, your achievements, there is life within you, there are memories,feelings and aspirations, you are filled of positivity , enjoy it.

-"I count and I know do": As long you are alive, you count, your brain and actions contribute to this universe, don't underestimate yourself, even a zero can add ten times if placed correctly .

Morning Breeze

Your weekend is a Gold Mine to revitalize your life. Only if you plan to use your time wisely, weekends will be a booster for the following week. 

Try one of these, 

Take an early bird friend to an outdoor breakfast. Seek the shade, take a deep breath and enjoy the morning breeze. Forget about monitoring your weight on the weekend's morning. You will burn more than what you gained on the first working day. For now relax, think positively and enjoy the fresh air, Everything will be alright.

It doesn't matter If you are all alone, single or on your own, take the driving seat in your car (if you have one), if not you can Take your Bike or even walk on your feet, believe me it is a privilege to be able to walk on your feet.  Just feel the freedom in the empty roads and enjoy. You grab your morning coffee or tea from the nearest coffee shop or any 24/7 local cafe, feel the contrasting heat of your drink with the coolness of the morning air, it is just Cool:)

Start your ride, The morning time on a weekend is actually the best time to see any city closely, it is like seeing the beauty of the soul of someone, it needs a peaceful surrounding and an opportunity to explore.

So this weekend, against all the odds , try to wake up early to enjoy your morning time!

Pleased to Meet You:)

Sometimes, you meet some people that you can connect with immediately! They represent core values and qualities in your life, tenderness, affection, mercy, strength, they just click! You think that you want to see that person again! 

Believe me, it is not about a crush, It is not about looking for the imaginative values of the people or being impulsive but rather an instant connection that you have to accommodate to buffering your own subjectivity objectively . The chemistry with this person might arise from certain common values like courage, hard work, creativity, feelings like having fun,attraction or the context you have met in like a football match or even a revolution! Sometimes, you just feel good when you see this person, you have goose bumps, the smile captures you , the thought of the person captures you. Taking your wild imagination aside, It can't be defined, sometimes this other fills a gap in you, fills the cracks of your heart ,soul and brings you up until up want nothing more, it could your friend, your soulmate,your love. You know,the ultimate satisfaction is to seek no satisfaction. That person just appears and fills you with joy,unconditional caring,sometimes the pleasure is the extension of the illusion but you have just to love it to survive.
