This is one of the hardest blogs I've written to-date.
We all experience "loss" in different shapes or forms. Whether it's money, health, or worse, it's "part of life".
One of the main reasons I'm a big fan of Stoic philosophy is because it had taught me how to develop the mental strength to persevere through times of loss (and I've experience many in my life).
Here are my thoughts on developing a strong mindset to help you cope with adversity.

Read MoreSmall businesses and banks in the UAE are in a crisis since the beginning of 2015.
Banks accuse entrepreneurs of running away, leaving behind unpaid debts.
Entrepreneurs retort that banks are being unreasonable and are choking their businesses to death.

Read MoreThere are 2 types of people:
Those whose DESIRES are bigger than their FEARS.
Those whose FEARS are bigger than their DESIRES, paralyzing them.
Your state of mind determines where you belong.
I see so many extremely talented people paralyzed and unable to achieve even 50% of their potential.
Some are potential entrepreneurs with amazing ideas, some are junior or mid-level executives at large companies and they have the potential to step out of others' shadows and carve their own path. One thing stops them: FEAR.
And as much as I love old Chinese movies, "facing your fears" isn't exactly a practical solution.
Sure, it may work for certain superficial fears (heights, spiders, monsters under the bed), but you can't just "decide to face your fear of failure".
The only weapon against FEAR is DESIRE.
The only thing more powerful than your FEARS are your DREAMS.
When you make your dream bigger than your fear: you write it down, describe in minute detail, imagine yourself "living that dream", visualizing it every day, several times a day: you're FEEDING your dreams instead of your fears.
You're making your dreams and desires so big, your hunger for them so strong, that fear just shrinks in comparison, and you won't even think about it twice.
You'll just jump in with both feet and make things happen, make your dream happen, make your DESIRES a REALITY.

You feel restless, anxious, irritable, and sometimes depressed.
Don’t let this happen to you. There is something you can do about it.

Read MoreEmployee frustrations arising from their boss’ behavior are common problems.
Yet many of those employees are team leaders themselves, and while they may be right in criticizing the management style of their boss, chances are that they’re not the ideal team leaders either.

Many are surprised when they see someone struggling to lose weight despite working out hard and eating “healthy”.
However, it’s much more widespread than you think. In fact, “eating too much and not working out enough” is often NOT the reason for people who are unable to lose weight.
I went through this a few years ago, struggling to lose weight despite burning thousands of calories every week and eating a “healthy” diet.
So, if it’s not that, then what is it?
