THE POWER OF HISTORY

HISTORY

0 COMMENTS

Written by Harry Croose

"We are here to create history not repeat it."

Hey all, I hope you are well. Today I wanted to talk about the power of history, (hence the title). History and our experiences play a significant role in how we interact with the world in the present. It is important, however to study the past in order to create the present we want and the future that we truly desire. 

As Steve Jobs once said you can only look at the dots joined looking back in order to grow, you must be able to see the dots looking forward. 

Here is why the history is important. 


1. Your Past does not Define your Future

As implied at the top, your fears does not define your past. 🙂 So long as you use the past to understand the way you work and what your greatest weaknesses are and better yet identify your strengths and what is awesome about your life. 

2. You can learn from Historical Events

Many historical events throughout the world can be applied to your life, it may inspire you to learn about our big and beautiful world, and perhaps cause such a strong positive spiral in your life, and to throw yourself at the possibilities and opportunities out there for you waiting. 🙂 

3. Historical People

Not only are historical pevents an important part of what makes us human,  but it is the people that makes those situations worth the research and how fascinating things can be. 🙂 People like Marcus Aurellius, Nero, Julius Ceasar, Cleopatra, Peter the Great, Catherine the Great, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, are very unique individuals with such a story to them that it is very intriquing. 🙂


4. You can rewrite the Past

One thing that I learnt from Russian History, is that you can change people perception of history. Stalin used this ability to eliminate people from photographs and records. Not only that he re-wrote Russian History, and basically called the Romanov Dynasty void. But you can change yourself the way you do things partly, by changing the way you view the past. 🙂

5. It is actually very fascinating

I know this point is a bit generic but it is actually rather interesting to read, listen and watch history. 🙂 Wether it be through an audiobook, book or documentrary they are thousands of places fro you to go and find something that may peak your interest. 🙂 


Bonus Point. Make History

Make history, and use this new found power to become the confident legend you were born to be. 🙂 

This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice. I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

Until the Next Blog Post! Take Care and Look after yourself!! Go make history! 🙂

A GAME OF CHESS; THE ART OF STRATEGY

    ALL

Written by Harry Croose

"Life is like a game of CHESS. To WIN you have to make a MOVE. Knowing which move to make comes with IN-SIGHT and KNOWLEDGE; and by learning the lessons accumulated along the way. We become each and every piece within the game called LIFE."

Ahhh Chess! I do love the game of Chess. Hopefully you will too or at the very will come to appreciate the wisdom and strategy needed to play the game of Chess, and why it is a great metaphor that many people use to achieve their greatest goals, desires and ambitions.  Here our 5 different points on why you should play Chess if not learn from it. 

1. Every Move is important

Every move you make in Chess is important especially your starting approach against the opposing team. 
Say I move a pawn first in the middle of the board, there are many different opportunities and move options you can take. Some moves are wise and long-term; other moves perhaps are very good short-term not so effective in the long-term.  Again it depends on the strategy. This is an important metaphor for life, I believe, you can develop a great strategy that works for you in your own life. Having that stragetic mind, is very important.

2. Protect your King

For many of us we leave our ‘King’ exposed, allowing us to easily face defeat and other dissapointments. But if we keep our king safely castled (a move in Chess) or as it were guarded, we will be able to develop a resilence to stimuli. The King can also be a great metpahor for guarding one’s internal empire. One’s vision, and our childhood dreams. 🙂 

3. Being Aware of the Opposition

I wanted to make it clear however, that there is a difference between obsessing and negatively comparing yourself to the opposition and just beig aware and been inspired by the opposition. It is significant for you to see the opposition as as elluded to may give you some clue or hint wether your strategy is working all not. That could be in love and relationships, money + finance, health, etc. In these different sectors is a different type of opposition. 


4. Research the Rules of the Game

There are ways that you can build upon your strategy, and the obviously one of which is to build on your knowledge and wisdom of the game.  So if there is an area of life that you may need a little bit of assistance in perhpas read a book on it, watch a documentary or maybe even get coached on the subject. 🙂 The only way however to get better at playing chess is by continuingly playing the game. 🙂 Doing things gradually with better confidence and thus a better strategy. 

5. Put your pieces in the most valuable place to you.

In chess there are various types of pieces and depending on the strategy each piece will be significant to the defence of your king and the attack of the oppositions. 

There are…

– Pawns (first move 2, then 1 – can only move forwards) Can take at diagonals in the directions they are facing. 
[Pawns can become Queens if they reach the end of the board]
– Bishops ( Can  move at diagonals)
– Knights (Can move in L like shapes across the board – they can jump pieces)
– Queen(s) (They can move in ANY direction on the board) 
– A King ( Can move one square at a time – vulnerable to being checked)
– Rooks (Can move horizontal and vertical and can also castle the King)

As you can see, these pieces have different rules, responsibilities and abilities to them and depending on the strategy played, certain pieces here can be adapted to either your strategy or to counter the oppositions strategy.

If you know your pieces,  and where to put them, you will have a better advantage at defeating your oppositon, and being the a great stragetist at that. 🙂



Bonus Point. Have fun! Play some Chess!

Play some CHESS! Practice it is a fun game! YOu can play for free against real peopl online at chess.com by making a login. This is not an advertisement by the way., I am just recommending it. I personally am not the best chess player in the world but I am a good novice at best.  So in Summary here our the points above, have a great day! I’ll speak to you soon. 🙂 

– Every Move is important
–  Protect your King ‘Your Dream’
– Being aware of the opposition
– Research the Rules of the Game
– Put your pieces in the most valuable place for you.


This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice. I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

"Someone's Opinion of You - does not have to become your reality."

How to become a legend? Who better then to ask but a lengend himself! I ‘m joking. Seriously, just chill. 
But today on this wonderful blog post we ask ourselves how does one actually become a legend?
How does one become legendary?

1. Inspires Others

How can you be a legend if you don’t inspire others. Many of the most famous legends throughout history, was able to capture this not only in his vision, but also in the visions of others.

2. Establishing Confidence

The only way one can build confidence is to practice, practice, practice. Every legend who wants to practice being incredibly confident in themselves must practice this repeatedly. 
Just being strong in who they are, in other words being comfortable in their own being. 🙂
All legends are very comfortable in their own skin, and they learn to not be afraid. 🙂

3. Building on your Higher Self

Building on your higher self’s dreams and ambitions, whilst focussing on your vision is very important when it comes to building a legend. 🙂 Imagine your self being more confident and fearless, and build upon that vision, brick by brick and see where it will take you. 🙂


4. Find Your Life Purpose

One thing that will not ground you more, on not caring what people think is to have a Life Purpose. A Life Purpose is either a big goal or a massive change that you want to make in your life, which is aligned with your personal values and needs. This is like your destination. This will allow you to make your own heading if you will to reach this said goal and make this aligned into reality. This could be starting a blog, write a book, start a YouTube Channel, to Rule the World!
If you have your own goal then you will DO things that will benefit YOU.

If you are interested in finding your life purpose then read my post; How to Find Your Life Purpose

5. Build an Empire

Build an empire is a pivital part of what makes a legend. There are different types of empires, but the first one starts in the mind. They also decide to take decisive action and not to be passive or to be paralysed by fear. 🙂
Many people throughout history, that has been able to be successful has been able to SEE in their MIND the Empire. 🙂  


Bonus Point. Be Courageous!

The only way to build confidence in yourself is to be courageous! 🙂  These habits underneath might be able to help you, strengthen your key inner habits and to become an absolute unstoppable force of nature. 🙂 

– Journaling
– Reading Self-Help Books
– Reading Fiction Books
– Meditation
– Write your own story.

 

This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice. I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

How to Study like Hermione Granger

HOW TO STUDY LIKE HERMIONE GRANGER

ACADEMIC

0 COMMENTS

Written by Harry Croose

"Young girls are told you have to be the delicate princess. Hermione taught them that you can be the warrior."

Hermione Granger is certainly one of my favourite characters in Harry Potter not just becuase of her bravery, intellect and because she is pretty attractive in my opinion. But becuase of the fact that she can be a real inspiration to students all around the world.
The very well-known model student of Hogwarts School of WitchCraft and Wizardry.

Here is 5 tips to help YOU become a better student (like Hermione Granger). As you can see from the above quote, Emma Watson adored her character in Harry Potter not because of the fact that you don’t have to be a princess but that you can be a warrior; which is what I like to say here is that no matter what setbacks you may have you can fight.

1. Be Organised

One of Hermione’s greatest strengths throughout the books and films is the fact that she is constantly organised. 
Wether she has a book that tells her about her deadlines literally, (Harry and Ron found out when Hermione’s gave them both a present.) Or wether she would plan to read her Summer Books actually in the Summer! 
Whatever she planned it is better then having no plan (like the majority of her year group). 

Perhaps to make University more fun you could buy yourself a Harry Potter Notebook, and pretend to be a wizard whilst studying. Alternatively you could get a time turner, I know it wold be incredibly helpful for our Assignments but alas many of us are Muggles! If you are a wizard reading this then if you could lend me one I would personally be greatful. 🙂

2. Contribute in Class

Contributing in Class is something that Hermione’s is incredibly well known for both in the books and the movies! 
Intially many people even a teacher like Severus Snape has been known to making fun of Hermione’s as she is apparently an “insufferable know-it-all!” That being said she has one many points for Griffindor House just by her contributing. This I believe has improved her confidence in herself massively when public speaking in front of her class mates and even her enemies (Slytherin House), especially being Muggleborn. 

So it goes to show tht no matter what label you get deemed, if your heart and mind are in the right place you can get what you want! 

3. Read Loads of Books

In every University there is a library, but must students don’t uterlise it’s abilities to its full extent!
Hermione does indeed she goes to the library constantly, to research her craft. That is why she is an absolute genius! 🙂 She is willing to grow and develop her knowledge base, in her subjects. 


4. Self-Educate as a Hobby

This is an incredibly significant point to most masters of their craft as alluded to above, they arw willing to self-educate themselves as a hobby and they actually enjoy it! 🙂 If you make self-education a hobby, not only will it expand your horizons in your formal education, but also your life education. 

5. Build Confidence and Self-Esteem

Building confidence and self-esteem in your abilities is also pivital to be a good student. If you do not believe that you will get a good grade, chances are you may not. 🙂 To build strong confidence andself esteem you must be willing to push your boundaires and get uncomfortable, that is the only way you can become stronger, faster and cleverer. 


Bonus Point. Be an Absolute Badass

To give you some suggestions that may be incredibly important for you in University Life when Studying here is a massive bonus point BEING AN ABSOLUTE BADASS. 

– Helping others do their work/revision.
– Mentor younger students.
– Punching Draco Malfoy
– Being a Model Student (Prefect)
–  Helping Harry Potter eliminating Lord Voldermort

 

This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice, just like the legendary character Hermione Granger!  I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

Until the Next Blog Post! Take Care and Look after yourself!!  If you want me to do more Harry Potter stuff let me know! 🙂 

Mischief Managed!!!! 🙂

Written by Harry Croose

"The world is full of magic things that are patiently waiting for our senses to grow smarter."

Hey, everyone! I hope you are well today, I am here talking about the Hidden Magic. 🙂 THE power that we all have. It is truly possible, I believe to become the person that we truly want to become. If we just truly believe and take action accordingly on what we believe.
The magic is all around us, ready for us to take it and to see it! So long as we have a strong enough vision or positive dream and ideation, anything is truly possible. 🙂
I believe that if we envision ourselves in a position of love, harmony and happiness. Almost as if to not neccessarily change our identity but to enhance it and make it a part of our higher self. 
I personally envision myself as a powerful wizard learning and refining my craft in order to complete my mission, and my one goal objective. 🙂
If we all had this view, I tell you we would be all be so powerful. 🙂
My goal personally is to help people and become a beacon of hope and inspiration for many. 🙂 So everyday I work towards that goal, despite my fears,  I keep going. 🙂 
It is also incredibly significant to have someone who supports you along the way, to make sure that you are on track. 🙂




1. Focus on yourself and your Needs

There is an annoying stigma in society, that if you are selfless you are great and if you are selfish you are a horrible person. This form of assumption, that allows unkind people to take advantage of you – due to your social complexes on ‘what is right’.

How to solve this would be to solely focus on yourself. I know right so selfish! But you need to fill your own cup first as it were, before you start helping others. I am not saying to go out your way to be unkind to someone (even if they deserve it) but merely to prioritise yourself other everything else, and yes even your family.

The more you invest in yourself today – the more you will be able to help them in the future. In fact, helping yourself first will likely mean you will be in a much better position to help others more so then even if you were too selfless of your own needs and desires.

This topic is such a big one that I have wrote a separate blog post here – How to fulfil your needs.

2. Establish Strong Independent Boundaries

Establish concrete boundaries in different areas of your life. Whether that be in the realms of love, relationships, friendships, money, emotions, psychology and so on. This mind does not necessarily come from a lack of confidence or self-esteem. I believe that a lack of secure boundaries in these sections of oneself can be one of many reasons that a lack of confidence/ self-esteem continues to manifest in your life.

How does this relate to how to not care what other people think? Well, people with what are considered to be weaker boundaries have an obsession of the need to be validated by others. (Hence you care what people think). Therefore, they require external environments to control their boundaries, which if you put it like that sounds ridiculous!

In human biology, we have a need to be in a pack of people, so we naturally have homeostasis of what the supposed conformed boundaries are. But remember that sometimes our human nature struggles to differentiate the difference between thriving and surviving in these instances. I want you to be thriving! So don’t use this as an excuse for you to be thriving! This brings be to my next point.

3. Change Your Environment

Life is too short. To guilt-trip yourself into staying in an environment that does not vibe with you. Remember the previous point you want to thrive! If that means moving friend groups, distancing yourself from toxicity, and moving towards an environment that you want. Then do it. Yes, it will take a leap of faith, to make such a drastic change.  

If you can’t just change your environment, perhaps you are in a job, or in a position where you don’t want to be. Then I would suggest you change your environment in small stages. Whether it be spending less time with someone or retreating to nature to relieve stress. All of these steps will say to your mind, that you are the top priority, and will undo the extreme selflessness programming and will help you care less of what over people think. 


4. Find Your Life Purpose

One thing that will not ground you more, on not caring what people think is to have a Life Purpose. A Life Purpose is either a big goal or a massive change that you want to make in your life, which is aligned with your personal values and needs. This is like your destination. This will allow you to make your own heading if you will to reach this said goal and make this aligned into reality. This could be starting a blog, write a book, start a YouTube Channel, to Rule the World!
If you have your own goal then you will DO things that will benefit YOU.

If you are interested in finding your life purpose then read my post; How to Find Your Life Purpose

5. Build Confidence and Self-Esteem

Building sufficient confidence and Self-Esteem is so important. This is the bedrock of success and happiness. If you perceive yourself to not have very good confidence and self-esteem. Firstly, you are confident and do have Self-Esteem – let me explain before you go jumping to conclusions.  It is just that you have been convinced that you don’t by your external environments justified by your past experiences.

I have a deep belief, that we all have great levels of confidence and self-esteem. You know that memory-player in the back of your mind reaffirming what you believe to be – that is what is controlling your confidence and self-esteem.
This here is an important insight, “your THOUGHTS are not the same as FACT.” Just because you say, ‘you’re stupid’, ‘you’re not good enough’ does not mean it is true. In fact, all it is is a bad radio station and all you need to do is change the frequency.  Which you can do easily! Let’s go backwards your confidence – comes from emotions, and your emotions come from thoughts.  This is a very vital insight into your own mental psychology, that I hope you find very helpful. If you have the strong confidence in yourself – you will find that naturally your boundaries will be stronger and will be more protected from status-quo thinking, following the herd and victim mentalities which make you vulnerable to the effects on other people’s opinions. I have many blog other posts on Confidence and Self-Esteem so please use the search on the blog-menu and type in ‘confidence’. To find lots of posts, resources and mini-courses to help you. 


Bonus Point. Start a Self-Reflection Practise

To give you some suggestions that really benefited me through this obstacle. I want to recommend for you to start self-reflecting. Whether it be through…

– Journaling
– Reading Self-Help Books
– Reading Fiction Books
– Meditation
– Write your own story.

 

This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice. I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

Until the Next Blog Post! Take Care and Look after yourself!!

Written by Harry Croose

"More beautiful than all the stars to shine is the heart of a loving friend. "

Hello reader, I hope you are incredibly well today! Today I wanted to talk about How to Win Friends and Influence People. Friends are a very important part of life, and I am incredibly grateful of all of you reading. I am very passionate and enthusiastic about this topic.  My heart is so strong and passionate to continue this blog. 

1. To be the "best friend" for yourself

This is incredibly criticial, to how to win friends and to influence people, you need to be the best friend of yourself. 
You need to look after yourself, and be your best friend. Imagine, having a best friend that constantly pushed you to be the best self you can be, especially in the field of communication.  YOU are worthy, always remember that. The only thing that truly holds you back is your limiting beliefs. 

2. Visualization

Visualization is very important, to achieving or predicting a situation. Visualizing something that hasn’thappened but visualizing an outcome that is positive. Will help your brain rehearse that outcome. 

3. Change Your Environment

Life is too short. To guilt-trip yourself into staying in an environment that does not vibe with you. Remember the previous point you want to thrive! If that means moving friend groups, distancing yourself from toxicity, and moving towards an environment that you want. Then do it.

HOW TO CONQUER ADVERSITY

Written by Harry Croose

"It is your reaction to adversity, not the adversity itself, that determines how your life's story will develop."

Hey! I hope you all are well. Today’s topic I will be discussing will be how to conquer adversity. Adversity in life can arise unexpectedly and can be an incredible challenge for everyone to go through it. But it is important to realise that you are not alone in these tasks and challenges that you may be facing. It is vital that you understand this fact, as it will help you in a positive way of getting over these obstacles. 

1. Look After Yourself

This is a given, but make sure that you look after yourself, whether it is physical and mental wellbeing, your assets and your vulnerabilities. 

2. Establish Strong Independent Boundaries

Establish concrete boundaries in different areas of your life. Whether that be in the realms of love, relationships, friendships, money, emotions, psychology and so on. This mind does not necessarily come from a lack of confidence or self-esteem. I believe that a lack of secure boundaries in these sections of oneself can be one of many reasons that a lack of confidence/ self-esteem continues to manifest in your life.

4. Find Your Life Purpose

One thing that will not ground you more, on not caring what people think is to have a Life Purpose. A Life Purpose is either a big goal or a massive change that you want to make in your life, which is aligned with your personal values and needs. This is like your destination. This will allow you to make your own heading if you will to reach this said goal and make this aligned into reality. This could be starting a blog, write a book, start a YouTube Channel, to Rule the World!
If you have your own goal then you will DO things that will benefit YOU.

5. Build Confidence and Self-Esteem

Building sufficient confidence and Self-Esteem is so important. This is the bedrock of success and happiness. If you perceive yourself to not have very good confidence and self-esteem. Firstly, you are confident and do have Self-Esteem – let me explain before you go jumping to conclusions.  It is just that you have been convinced that you don’t by your external environments justified by your past experiences.

I have a deep belief, that we all have great levels of confidence and self-esteem. You know that memory-player in the back of your mind reaffirming what you believe to be – that is what is controlling your confidence and self-esteem.
This here is an important insight, “your THOUGHTS are not the same as FACT.” Just because you say, ‘you’re stupid’, ‘you’re not good enough’ does not mean it is true. In fact, all it is is a bad radio station and all you need to do is change the frequency.  Which you can do easily! Let’s go backwards your confidence – comes from emotions, and your emotions come from thoughts.  This is a very vital insight into your own mental psychology, that I hope you find very helpful. If you have the strong confidence in yourself – you will find that naturally your boundaries will be stronger and will be more protected from status-quo thinking, following the herd and victim mentalities which make you vulnerable to the effects on other people’s opinions. I have many blog other posts on Confidence and Self-Esteem so please use the search on the blog-menu and type in ‘confidence’. To find lots of posts, resources and mini-courses to help you. 


Bonus Point. Start a Self-Reflection Practise

To give you some suggestions that really benefited me through this obstacle. I want to recommend for you to start self-reflecting. Whether it be through…

– Journaling
– Reading Self-Help Books
– Reading Fiction Books
– Meditation
– Write your own story.

 

This will allow you to get what you read in theory, into practice. I want YOU, yes I am looking at you! To have a successful and happy and prosperous life! 😊

Until the Next Blog Post! Take Care and Look after yourself!!

"If we fasten our attention on what we have, rather than what we lack, a very little wealth is sufficient."

Saving money, is important part of being a student in particular. Today I will be talking about ’10 ways to save money’ and also how to reduce your current expenses.

These strategies can be a siginificant help to not just sutdents at University, but with absolutely anyone. 🙂

1. Pay Yourself First

As a rule of thumb, you should always pay yourself first. Then you won’t get yourself into trouble with debt, such as credit cards. If you pay yourself first, you will be able to bring awareness to your spending habits. 

2. Be Self-Aware of Spending Habits

If you are self-aware of your spending habits. You will be able to see where you are themajority of your funds are going, and also funds going out your account that may not be neccesary. 

3. Differentiate your Wants and Needs

Think about the fact that you could just buy anything you wanted. But if we all bought what we wanted – we wouldn’t have much money.- if not any at all. The key here is to think about what you NEED to pay. For example, Car Insurance, House Insurance, Rent and Food. Then what you are paying because you WANT  it not because you need it. For example, a Netflix Subscription, that extra dominos pizza or even that audible subscription. Cancelling a few subscriptions or buying some alternatives Can be a real big help to you.


4. Create a Table for your Financial Expenses

Creating a table for your financial expenses is an incredibly awesome idea that I have started using since around a year and a half ago. If you create a complete list on your payable subscriptions, and your one off payments. Tally that in comparison to your Student Loans, and any part-time job work. Then you can budget accordingly to your wants and needs, and you can even calculate how much you would need so you could sae for a car for example or for that Bus Pass you want which is helpful for getting around in the local area. 

5. Self Educate Yourself on Finanical Matters.

Self Education in general is a pivital part of someones growth in all matters of life. Especially in financial matters, you can look a books at investments, different prespectives on bugeting and saving money, as wellas autiobiographies from many famous business leaders in the world today. All of this knowledge is bound to give you insight in your own life. Wether you agree or disagre with those views it is important and awesome to do this, becuase then you build upon them and you create a financial philsophy that you can add to and use to help you.
