Day 1275: Do you motivate through love or through fear and intimidation?

You can motivate more through love than you can through fear and intimidation – that’s what I realized last night.

 

It’s 1  : 02 PM on day 1275 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to  brush my teeth,  feed myself egg with bread for breakfast,  pray, read Job 9, publish my Disability of the Day feature, practice sitting up straight to strengthen my core muscles, stretch my hamstrings and  promote my Eradicate AIDS campaign – nobody donated so far today but I’ll keep trying 🙂

 

Last night my brother was telling me about the endurance hike that he had to participate in today I could tell that he was slightly reluctant to participate so I said do the first 12.5 kilometers for me and the other 12.5 kilometers for yourself and guess what that’s exactly what he’s doing right now (SO PROUD of him) just goes to show you can motivate more through love than you can through fear and intimidation.  Do you motivate through love or through fear and intimidation? 

Day 260

Fairest and best adorned is she whose clothing is humility. – James Montgomery

It’s 7: 01 PM on day 260 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth, tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign –no luck – read Jude: The Diary of a baby and a stroke and visit Emily’s Smile Boxes – there is a tie that binds both the blog and website which I didn’t initially know about Jenn who writes the blog is also the mother of Emily – the founder of Emily’s Smile Boxes 🙂 – feed myself a polony sandwich for breakfast, watch TV, feed myself rice and curry for lunch, watch some more TV and feed myself banana for dinner.

As you know I am very independent in spirit which is why I find it extremely difficult to ask people for help in any aspect of my life but today I realized that even superheroes need help once in a while so I am asking you with the upmost humility to write about my campaign on your blog or website (see guidelines below).Do you fear asking for help because you are afraid of becoming co-dependent?

Your post must include:

  • An introductory paragraph about how you came to know of me and my campaign and just below it you should copy and paste Who I Am – a blog post I wrote introducing myself.

Are we connecting on Twitter? If not, say hi at http://twitter.com/Nisha360

if you’ve given to my cause or you can’t give now, please help me by sharing my cause with others. You can tweet about it like my friend Stan Faryna. This is the tweet he uses: @Nisha360 is a brave, smart young woman trying to make a better world for us all. Please help her do an amazing thing. http://bit.ly/hC7vOu

Stan’s very sweet for saying so, but feel free to write what reflects you best.

Thanks to all my friends out there who are helping me make my dream come true: to make a better world for all of us!

Day 190

The whole is more than the sum of its parts. – Aristotle

It’s 10: 31  PM on day 190 of my journey towards independence and I’ve managed to brush my teeth,  tweet about my Clean Water For All Campaign for a few hours – no luck –  feed myself rice and curry for lunch,  tweet about my campaign some more – still no luck 🙁  – feed myself Chapati – an unleavened flatbread – filled with salad and mutton gravy and watch TV.

 Several people – my mother included –  have told me that I am wise beyond my years and although that this is true to a certain extent I think that they have forgotten that I am just a nineteen soon-to-be twenty-year-old girl trying to find my place in the world with that said I would like to take this moment to introduce you to all aspects of me – from my favourite music, movies and books to my greatest hopes, fears and future travel destinations  – like me or leave me I don’t mind either way 🙂

Nisha: The Human Being


I hope to:

  • Learn how to do things by myself
  • Become an author
  • Buy a house
  • Travel the world

 

I am afraid of:

  • Public speaking
  • Rejection
  • The possibility of having to live with my parents for the rest of my life
