I have been away for quite sometime now... Long enough to lose my subscribers and sponsors... Not my fault entirely.. I have been very busy with school stuff...But now I am done... And I will be spending more of my time here... I have drafted something for us to read and better our lives as the days go by.
Take the pressure off. Your destiny is not contingent on people liking you. Their approval is not keeping you from your purpose. You don’t have to prove to them that you’re good enough. You’re already good enough.
Be confident in who God made you to be. The greatest thing a man can do in this world is to make the most possible out of the stuff that has been given him. This is success, and there is no other. Get into the habit of applying for opportunities that you consider relevant and important for your growth. Be prepared for rejection but keep applying. If we fail, let us fail forward.
We don't know the transcript or report card that the world has given to you. You may be disappointed and discouraged but remember you are still learning and evolving. In this world where there are seasons and times, you will flourish. Reject those lies that you're not good enough.
"Poverty isn't just a lack of money, it's isolation from the type of people that can help you make the most of your talents." — Dr. Ola Brown Grow your network. Invest in your social ties. Dig your well before you are thirsty. Confidence isn’t walking into a room with your nose in the air, and thinking you are better than everyone else. It’s walking in to a room and not having to compare yourself to anyone else in the first place.
It’s not education. It’s not your circumstances. It’s not the economy. It’s not your talent. It’s not about how much money you have or don’t have. It all comes down to 3 things. Write them down and never forget: Determination, persistence, learning. As we are all setting goals and praying for opportunities, may we not come in contact with those opportunities that will ruin us. May evil opportunities pass us by.
May we not come in contact with people who will 'take us to the top of a skycrapper and then push us down.' You can do whatever you want to do. The question is, “How big is your want to?” You can break that addiction if you want to. You can forgive that person that hurt you. You can make that marriage work. You can accomplish your dream if you want to bad enough.
“What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead.” –Nelson Mandela. If someone invites you into their “world”, and you accept, don’t see their world through your eyes, see it through theirs.
Lasting bonds are forged through empathy, respect, trust, and vulnerability. They are as valuable as the precious time spent to build them. Instead of comparing yourself to others, practise comparing yourself to yourself. Examine how far you've come toward your goals, the obstacles you've overcome, lessons learned, and what you've accomplished. This will instill gratitude and kindness in yourself as you reflect. Start your week with a fresh love letter and also end your week with a gratitude letter.
What matters most is that you make some effort to nurture your mind and have patience for the process. Graciously enjoy your capacity to live a full and creative life. Take care of your mind! Every one of us needs to stop hero-worshipping mortal beings and be our own heroes. Be a hero to your wife, to your family, and to your children. Stop trying to write your story with someone else's pen and, instead, start using your own.
Be motivated... @ClDvor
