STAY POSITIVE

A lot of the time we tend to focus on what we cannot do with little or no regard to the things we can actually do, but who by worrying will add a day to their lives? No one can, but we can make the remaining days nice, pleasant, and enjoyable- fun even.

It’s ok to learn from the mistakes of the past, but what’s not OK is letting those mistakes hold you back from future achievements. Challenge yourself today to change what you have control of and let go of things that are out of your control. Know what is in your control- kill it, know what is not- leave it.

You may have done some terrible things in the past and think that you are damaged beyond redemption so you just let fate carry you along like undirected winds. I have my shortcomings and you have yours, it’s what makes us human. So pick yourself up from the ground and clean yourself from the mud of the past.

Do not let past mistakes hold you back. What you can do now is make the most of every present and future opportunity.

Cheers!

CONTENTMENT

 WHAT REALLY MATTERS? It is written in the Bible that “Godliness with contentment is great gain.” (1Tim 6:6) This verse has been hammered into my brain since I was a child, but then it was just another memory verse, just like the others I learned in Sunday school. But growing up, I have come to see the several applications of this verse and how it has helped me lived a happy and fulfilled life. In our society today, we are blinded by clout and desperately chasing and falling for what we do not have. Scammers on -or-offline would not have a fan base if it were not for our greed. One will see an ad promising free cash, phones, or other gift items and all sense of reasoning will disappear through thin air, all for what? I’ll tell you the answer… we are trying to get what we do not have. How about fathers and mothers; uncles and aunts; and even children who leave their families to search for the so-called “greener pasture?” I have no doubt we all want to climb up whatever ladder we t

BE THE VOICE

                                                                           BE THE VOICE I was watching a video yesterday on how the power of one could change many. Although I dare not use the same example as I’d seen in the video, mainly because I do not have the same experience, therefore, it would be really hard to portray the message using their situation, I will illuminate it using a different perspective. Sometimes all you need is a little voice to give you the final push that will help you overcome that difficult task. You do have that voice in your head but it doesn’t work because you have shut it down by giving up, therefore you need another voice- someone else’s voice to speak to you. Whatever challenges you face, don’t face them alone; find a true and willing friend to share them with. They just might be the voice you need. Now these tough guys in the referenced video was undergoing some training and tests under very harsh conditions and they were at the point of giving

The 1 Thing You Need to Overcome Obstacles

THE 1 THING YOU NEED TO OVERCOME DIFFICULT CHALLENGES 1. A few days back I went to see a friend. After catching up, we went into his gym which contained one piece of equipment comprising of cement and a rod. He lied down on the bench and asked me to pass it to him. I tried lifting it off the ground but I couldn’t.  It looked ‘carryable,’ at first, but when I bent down, I could swear I heard my waist bone give way. I spent the night there and I tried lifting it the next morning as I’d gotten enough rest at night. I bent down, and this time, like the last time, I couldn’t lift it. But it gave way a little. On the fourth day, no, I didn’t carry it oo. But it budged. I even lifted it to my ankles. It was massive for me.  After my sixth attempt, I lifted it. Yes, I did. No lies here. I carried it up to my chest before letting it thunder to the ground. 2. I remember when the Ebola virus first hit.  People were so scared of losing their lives and would go to every length to find a
