Greetings from my side. Know this:
Just remember, you didn't work this hard to stay the same.
You didn't make those sacrifices and take those risks to stay the same.
You didn't hustle, grind and push yourself to the absolute limit every single day to be the same person.
When you decide to pursue your craft, your passion or live with purpose you're going to eventually walk away from people who only expect and respect the old you.
You will find new and more inspiring people to work with and associate with, people on the journey and people who give a damn and care about your ART and your work and see you in a new light...rather than judging you on who you used to be or your current circumstances.
They will tell you that you've changed or you don't have time for them or call you obsessed or full on!
The truth is. You have changed.
Don't ever apologise about your own growth, personal development and success.
Remember, the reason you work on yourself, your ideas and your dreams is so that your life can change...but your life will never change before you do. Have a nice day.
It's @ClDvor. Be motivated.

We may seem far apart.
But in spirit,
we are closer far closer than you can ever imagine.

Why Growth and Not Comfort?
What's up guys? Hope all is good. You all know how great it feels to be comfortable with yourself in a particular moment. It feels really good to be doing what you really love doing.. ***Please subscribe if you haven't and comment to share your ideas after reading.***
What do we mean by COMFORT ZONE? Our Comfort Zone is a place where we feel knowledgeable, strong, in-charge and secured. Almost everything feels good, when you are in your comfort zone. Stress, depression and fear are non-existent; rather, confidence and calm abound.
Yet still, with all the wonderful sentiments associated with our “comfort zone”, we purposely choose to stray knowing that we will likely encounter storms and turbulence. Why venture into unknown territories that may very well bring pain and struggle if life is peaceful, safe and warm?
Right. We stray or move out of our comfort zone for GROWTH. Most at times, the rewards of growth will far out-weigh the safety of traveling the comfortable road. I urge you all to go for growth other than comfort. Here are my reasons.
Leaving your comfort zone and reaching out for growth is very necessary to achieve and maintain the success we all have been looking out for. Success comes with advancement and growth, so in choosing growth over comfort, we are choosing to give ourselves the chance to excel. When we prefer growth to comfort, it is certain to increase our level of achievement.
When we stick to what is comfortable, we can never fully nurture, improve or grow the skills and talents that we have. We can never do that. When we stay in a place where we are accustomed to everything, we can never develop new skills or discover hidden abilities that may be just what we need to succeed. Staying in a position of comfort limits our ability to explore new things.
By choosing comfort over growth we will limit ourselves and set boundaries on what we can achieve.
When we take chances and explore new places or try new activities, we open ourselves up to new experiences and adventures which can lead to the extension of our exposure to places, things, opportunities and people. Evolution takes place when there is growth. It helps us identify our true selves.
Helping other people is a fulfilling experience for most of us. When we chose comfort over growth it restricts our ability and capacity to reach out to others to lift them up and give them the support they need. But when we choose to grow, our actions inspire them to aim higher. Be confident when you are faced with problems and do your best to tackle them.
It feels great when things feel under control, and there is no stress. However, if we never let go of that ease we will never experience the possibility of true success and achievements. It might feel awkward but it is worth it. The fulfillment we experience and contributions we make are well worth the inconveniences and the discomfort.

Hello guys. I have something small to share.
Our brain often tricks us to find a justification for whatever we are doing that we know is not good for us. Our mind tempts us to compromise just one time, give in just one time. Don’t. If you give in once, it will make it easier to give in a second, a third time..
Life is short. Remember, focus on what matters and let go of what does not.
Nothing ever stays the same. Be happy no matter what happens, because change is a big part of life.
Don't make excuses for why you can't get it done. Focus on all the reasons why you must make it happen.
Wake up everyday stronger than yesterday, face your fears and wipe your tears.
Being positive in a negative situation is not naive. It's leadership.
Change is not a matter of possibility; it's a matter of decision.
Please let's keep these in mind and live the beat out of our lives.

Managing Your Money.
Hello guys. It is @ClDvor on it. I am writing on Money. Which we say is the root of all evil. We will talk about that later.
How we manage, spend, and invest our money can have a strong impact on your life, yet very few schools, collages or institutions teach these important skills. Why is that?
We were taught some basic math growing up, but many of us make it all the way to adulthood without ever learning basic money management which is very sad. Skills like creating a budget, investing for the future, and other finance-related skills.
**One Golden thing to know is that**: Let's say you earned Q amount of money, and spent R amount of money, make sure R amount is not more than the Q. Your finances are mainly about your values and habits you choose to live by.
**Here are few things to help you improve on your** **financial life.**
**Always plan for the future:** Establishing an emergency fund will allow you to deal with unexpected and expected events in the future. This fund is what I call SAVINGS. You can invest into the future when you are able to save part of your income. You can buy things for yourself I start a small business with the money you have saved or put aside. Spending less than you earn allows you the freedom to save, to prepare for the future, and deal with the inevitable crises that life throws at you. The larger the gap between your income and expenditure, the better..
**Make more money**: Yes, make more money but in an honest way. Properly investing money, earns you more over time. Take advantage of the little you have because most of the times, the little incomes have more value that you might imagine. Don’t just sock all your cash away in a low-interest savings account. There will always be newer, better tools to manage your money. However, spending less than you earn will always be beneficial. Investing your money will always be better than doing nothing with it. And planning for the future will always be better than blowing your money as soon as you get it.
Ideally, the amount you spend in a month should be lower than the amount you earn. If it’s not, start going over your list and see which expenses you can cut down on until it is. If you have to, cut ruthlessly.
You have to spend your money wisely. By so doing, you have to;
Draw a scale of preference: You must set priorities at all times. That is, prepare a list of all the important things you need, with the most pressing needs on top. In short, buy what you need urgently.
Draw a budget: formulate a budget between income and expenditure based on your priority list which is your scale of preference a show that you spend within your income. Do not buy for buying sake.
Avoid buying on credit: credit is good but it has its own challenges. As you enjoy credit today you will surely pay for it tomorrow. Therefore, the best thing to do is to buy within your current income and avoid buying on credit.
Buy things in bulk: it's high time we all learnt how to buy things in bulk. We should identify key distributors or wholesale shops and buy from them this helps save a lot of money.

Find Your Purpose.
Hello guys. Greetings from this side. How had your days been? Hope they are good. It has been quite long since I last wrote. Here is another writing for y'all.
There are many of us who are not fond of our jobs but at least they pay some bills right? You tell yourself once again that you need a new job and that you have to get moving on that. Planning that one day you are going to sit down and sort it out to get everything started.
One day, after convincing yourself that today is the day to make that turn, you decide to sit and look through things. Shortly after you start, your phone rings - A friend calling to ask if you wanted to hang out. You decide to go because your life is hard already so you might as well have some fun. And perusing the mall, cinema or the beach is more fun than figuring out where your career is going... "You can make up another day since one day won't make a difference," you thought.
But tomorrow never comes. The day goes on like the previous ones where you did nothing.
You would think the process of achieving your goals would be as easy as setting them but it does not really work out that way. That’s why you always lose the zeal right after setting them.
The truth is that, the most meaningful goals would not be the easiest to get off of the ground. So you have to do everything in your power stay focused on them. You can’t continuously let simple distractions get in the way of achieving your goals because that would make you just stay stuck on the same step forever.
You have goals for a reason and that’s why you need to achieve them. Consistent focus and effort is the only solid way to make that happen.
You have to focus on yourself and not someone else because you will never win in life by being someone you are not. You cannot ever live your dreams by setting for someone else's idea of what you should be doing with your life. You would never be happy to change who you are in order to fit somewhere you don't belong. Unless you accept who you really are, you are not bond to change. Changes are for people who are real with themselves.
But there is one thing. Lead your life with a goal but being **TOO** focused on the goal would make you miss out the real treasures of life. Life has no goal. You have you create a goal and experience life.
The purpose of life is to live it to taste the experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt.

Hello guys. Hope your day is great. It is @ClDvor again with something small to motivate you.
Everyone needs a fresh start at times. No matter where you’ve come from, no matter what’s happened in your past. Don’t let guilt or condemnation hold you back.
When you feel poisoned by fear, stress and failure, do you best to out of them. The best antidote is to pray.
Successful people share two things: perseverance and passion. Perseverance is what keeps you going through rough patches and obstacles even when you want to quit. Passion is what gives you perseverance. You know you have passion when it feels like it’s consuming your life.
Most importantly Be kind.
“Be kind. We never know what people are going through. Give grace and mercy because one day your circumstance could change and you may need it.” -- Germany Kent

When You are Up Against Trouble.
Hello guys. It feels great to be **here** and I have another piece to **share**.. Thanks for your support and love. Let's keep it going. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and comment to add up after reading.🙏
When you're up against trouble,
Meet it squarely - face to face.
Lift your chin and set your shoulders,
Plant your feet and take a brace.
When you're up against trouble,
Do the best you can do to save the day.
You may fail and may seem vulnerable.
But don't let this failure desert your glints.
When you're up against trouble,
Put yourself in fighting mood.
Even if the worst is bound to happen,
Running from it would not save you.
When you're up against trouble.
Hope may be lost, but remember.
No matter what you are facing,
Someone has passed through and made it.
When you're up against trouble,
Don't give up on yourself.
Even if the trouble brings the worst,
Make sure you see it through and bring the best.
..........................................................................................
My lesson from this, is to never stop trying. But you've got to start now. You've got to do it as soon as possible. Most troubles teach us the best of life lessons and make us stronger. A good timber never grows with ease. It faces the strongest of winds and the worst of storms but still thrives.
Where thickest, lies the forest growth.
You have all that the greatest of men have had. Two eyes, two hands, two legs, two eyes and a brain to use if wise. With all these the greatest of men started. They take their food from a common plate.
The world considers them brave and smart. All they had to do was to start. A friend introduced read.cash to me long time ago. But I felt it was stress. When I realised the times I wasted, I thought it would be worth a try. After all, there is nothing to lose. Now here I am passionate about what I write and enjoying the articles of others. I am still grateful to him. @Dangerous_Fly .
You can be great if only you want to. You are the one to decide. God has equipped us for life but we decide what we want to be. The courage to start must come from somewhere within. Get hold of yourself and say, " I CAN."
If you want to get to where you want to be, GET started. The troubles may come but Get started. Know that:
***A journey of a thousand mile, begins with a step.***
You have to get started to know what is ahead of you. Some of us haven't started but we are concluding that it is difficult. With that notion, you would FAIL. What are you waiting for before you start? Are you waiting for everything to line up before you get started? Or you are waiting for all the situations to come together perfectly? NO. That isn't going to happen. START NOW. Life would give us that time to be selective.
You cannot wait. You can't wait for the troubles to be over. Face the trouble now and with courage you would overcome it. Fear is not waiting for the perfect moment to get on you. It will just roll up on you and disrupt your life. You've got to start now.
Stop waiting for someone to confirm his or her love before you start. Do it now. Now is the best time. You've got to get your life together now. Now is the time to start building your vision. You cannot wait. Don't wait for another minute, another time or another week. Now is the best time.

Hello guys. How motivated are you Today? Be grateful for the good times and keep the faith during the bad times. Stay positive when life gives you every reason to be negative.
There are times that your breakthrough is tied to helping someone else get their breakthrough. Be honest with yourself and the people around you. Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, 'What's in it for me?'
Life is too short to worry about what others say or think about you. So have fun and give them something to talk about. Free yourself from the judgement of others. Appreciate everything, regret nothing.
Don't let one bad day make you feel like you have a bad life. Most importantly, you don't need a reason to help people because the good you do comes back to you in different ways you aren't even expecting.
Finally,
Trust before you love.
Know before you judge.
Commit before you promise.
Forgive before you forget.
Appreciate before you regret.
It is @ClDvor, enjoy your day and be motivated.
You've Come Too Far to Quit.
Hello guys. It's @ClDvor again with another inspiring words for you. Hope you are all doing great. Don't forget to subscribe if you haven't and comment to add up after reading.. Let's get to it.
The major factor to making things happen in your life is YOU. Actions could be taken by everyone. Everyone can engage into something profitable and earn from it. But why don't we do It? Why?
The reason is Fear. And that fear is usually the fear of Failure or Success or Rejection. But the actual fear, is the fear of pain. Yes, the fear of PAIN. Failure is a massive part of being able to be successful. We have to get comfortable with failure. Failure is where all the lessons are found. Failure is where the adaptation and growth take place.
When we come across something that is very difficult and we tried it several times and we fail, we sometimes say we're done, we can't do it anymore and sometimes we say it is impossible to do. But the best thing to do is to believe in yourself. In order to do that, you have to know yourself... Every single person on this earth is driven by two things.
Their need to avoid pain.
Their desire to gain pleasure.
Successful people fail a lot. They fail more than they succeed. But they take every lesson failure has taught them into practice. They use these lessons to come around the next phase of success.
Why don't you challenge yourself to be better or Do something better that you wanted to do years ago. It is not too late. Even if so, it is better late than never. Right now is the ideal time. No time is better than NOW.
Change might be scary but it is absolutely necessary for your personal growth and it is going to happen. But it is up to you to decide which direction the change should go.
**It is either you pick the time to stimulate a change in your life or the change and time will pick you.**
The perfect moment would never come. You have to create one. Just because it feels uncomfortable doesn't mean it is not good. Even if it feels uncomfortable, it can sometimes be bright.
Being comfortable doesn't always bring good results. Expand yourself and take yourself out of your comfort zone. If you stay in your comfort zone, that is where you would fail. Success is not a comfortable procedure. It is a very uncomfortable process so you have to get comfortable with being uncomfortable if you want to be successful.
Staying in your comfort zone is dangerous. You shouldn't always be satisfied with what You have achieved. It takes courage to be successful. With courage, you would go far in life. Most people want it easy. Know this: **Easy come, Easy go.**
You easily lose things you didn't work hard to get. When you handle the hard things close at hand and making those hard decisions right now, you would get to where you want to be.
If you have something to do, do it now. If it is hard, do it the hard way. Courage makes you exceptionally wise. In life, don't forget where you came from. Because knowing where you came from would guide you as to where you are heading. Mostly, we waste a lot of time on acts that would yield no profit. Why don't we use that time on productive activities?
It is better to live courageously than cowardly. We all know this. It is better to live truthfully than in deceit. In that way, we make our lives easier. Be responsible and move forward.
If you're bored with life, if you don't get up every morning with a burning desire to do things, change your goals but don't quit. **You've Come Too Far to Quit.**
When we come up with new ideas or see new opportunities and we start to leave our comfort zone into the zone of the unknown greatness, we get scared. It is part of the process but all we've got to do is to overcome it.

Live Life to The Fullest.
Hello.. Greetings from my side. It is good writing again. I am writing on a very popular topic, LIFE. Please subscribe if you haven't and comment to add up or share your thoughts after reading. Let's get to it.
It feels so great, rising up in the morning and feeling the sun shining on your face. But there is a question I have to ask. What makes Life so unique and beautiful? Life is beautiful because no matter what you have, what you're facing or what you're doing with life still goes on. Life has many moving parts yet it's still good.
Everyday is a new day and another opportunity that others may not have. This life that we have been given, even for this short while has more meaning than we could ever imagine. Most of the times we don't value life as we are supposed to. Many of us take life for granted. Instead of realising the opportunity we have in this life, we prefer seeing the wrong side of it.
We need to take the opportunity to live life the best way we know how to. Life is a journey. On this journey of life we are going to face a significant amount of circumstances. A significant amount of challenges. You're going to fall in directions you've never thought of. And it might not be in a position to understand at that moment. If you find yourself in a position you don't understand, then you've got to get up and find answers because this life is a beautiful thing. No one deserves to ruin it, neither does anyone deserve to control it aside you.
No one deserves to steal your joy. You own your life and you have the right to live it the best way you can. You must have self discipline and take full control and responsibility for the actions that take place in your life. You are going to engage in so many different things. Majority of them are going to try to slow you down. But they are challenges in this life that you must face.
Instead of running away from your challenges you've got to run towards them and face them. You must try your best to understand that in this life there is meaning to every action. And all these things that you may be thinking and are so hard on you, you should remember that sometimes you have to go through these challenges to understand life.
Make no mistake to think you are worthless in this life. You are worthy. You are on this earth and in that situation for a reason. Life has a gift. This gift maybe good or bad but it's up to you to understand that these circumstances and challenges must happen in your life. There may be points in this life where you feel hopeless, where you feel you are at the end of the rope. The only thing to do is to climb up.
Make sure you're doing much more instead of doing less. Stop stressing and wasting time on things you can't control. Start focusing on the things that you have control over. And one of them Is Your Life. Start taking control of your life.
You must take control of the opportunities that come your way. In order to do this you've got to believe in yourself. That is the first step you should take. Be proud of yourself and how far you've come and keep pushing to be the best you can be.
No one can go back and make a brand new start. But everyone can make a brand new ending. It is never too late to put up your best. So many people are feeling miserable at this moment. Others are trying their possible best to take you down along with them. Do not let misery control the life that you have.
Do not let anyone tell you how to live your own life, nevertheless validate your purpose or destiny. You will make it. Trust me. Let go of the excuses, depressions and fear and hold on to what you have.
Thank you for reading. I hope it would be worth your time. Your support is still keeping me going till now. Never let yourself down.

Hello guys. I wasn't able to write an article today but I have something small for you.
We spend too much time trying to make things happen, and then we get frustrated because it’s taking so long. You can’t make things happen out of God’s timing. You can’t make people like you that are not supposed to like you. You can’t make a door open that God has closed. Stay in peace, knowing that God will have the right people find you, the right breaks will track you down, the right opportunities will coming knocking at your door. When it’s your time, the blessing will show up.
Think deeply.
Speak gently.
Love lots.
Laugh often.
Work hard.
Give freely.
Expect little.
Be kind.
Stay honest.
Keep it real.
Be true to you.
The first person you think of in the morning, or last person you think of at night, is either the cause of your happiness or your pain.
It's okay to have flaws. That's what makes you real.
It is still @ClDvor, be motivated.

No Act of Kindness is Ever Wasted.
Hello Fam. I am grateful for another beautiful day as this. I am still enjoying my stay here on read cash. Your support still keeps me moving. Today's article is all about having a good heart. Let's get to it.
A.D Williams once said: " Imagine what 7 billion humans could accomplish if we loved and respected one another." Imagine if there were no greed and comparison. Imagine if everyone was fighting their own fight and cheering each other at the same time. Choose to lift others up and set an example of Kindness and integrity. Let's take this story.
The King and Beggar..
There came a time where a country was ruled by a king who had no son to succeed to the throne. As the King was getting old, he wanted to select a suitable successor to continue his reign. The King sent out notices throughout his country. The notices invited every qualified young man in the country for an interview with the King. The outcome of the interview will decide a possible successor to the throne. The only qualification for the candidates was that they should have immense love for their fellow human beings. Every young man across the country was very excited at the possibility of being the ruler of the country. A poem man from a remote Village also read the notice. He started to prepare an interview with the King. The man was very kind and hardworking but he was very poor due to certain circumstances.
He did not even have good clothes to be presentable in the sight of the King. So he tried working hard to save some money in order to buy some proper clothes and supplies to support him for the long journey to the palace. After he got his supplies and the proper clothes for the interview, the young man sets out on his journey.
He traveled many days and had almost completed the journey when it came upon a poor beggar by the side of the road. The poor beggar start trembling in the cold covered only in tattered rags. The beggar extented his arms and pleaded for help. He said with a croaked voice, " I'm hungry and cold. Please help me Sir."
The young man was so moved by the pathetic condition of the beggar that he immediately stripped his new attire and offered it to him. He also provided him with his very limited food. The beggar thanked the man a 1000 times but since the man had given up his good clothes to the beggar, he was in a dilemma as to whether to go for the interview or not.
He however gathered enough courage to enter the palace in his old dirty clothes. Upon his arrival at the palace, the king's attendant showed him the way to the great hall. After a short rest, the man was called to the throne room for the interview. The young man bowed low as the king entered the room.
When he raised his eyes, he was very very surprised as he noticed that the king look very similar to the beggar he had met on the way. The king saw the shock in the man's eyes and said, "Yes, I was the beggar you met on your way." "But why did you dress up like a beggar? You are a King." The man said. The young stammered after gaining some composure. The King added, " I had to know that you had a good heart and you genuinely love your fellow human beings."
If I had come to you as a King, you would have done anything to impress me. That's that's why I would never had know what is truly in your heart.
***The generosity and love to the one in need without expecting anything in return is the sign of a great heart***.
"Looking at your love and generosity towards the beggar proved that you sincerely love your fellow human beings. This country needs a leader who would work for the welfare of all of the Nation and not just ones who would offer and cater to the throne. You have proven to be the right person." The King said.
**End of story.**
In this world that we live in, Kindness is very important. A heart filled with compassion and love to our fellow human beings, is the Greatest Gift we can give to this world. Who you are is far more important than what you have. Be kind.

Hello guys. It's @ClDvor and I have a short post for you. And this is it.
"Anyone trying to figure out what they'll be in years to come confronts one undeniable fact. " A good writer once said, " Perhaps the Earth was made round so that we would not see too far the road."
We set up on journeys full of hope and expectations, But when we arrive, the destination never ends up looking exactly the way we had hoped it would.
It's the experiences that we have and the people who we meet that matter more than the possessions that we have in life.
We don't have to know the future to have faith in God. We have to have faith in God to be secure of the future.
Believe even when it seems like things aren’t going in your favor. Don’t let what appears to be happening shake your faith. Maintain hope and positive energy. Remind yourself that things are going to work out for you even if you don’t know how right now.
I am still grateful for your love and support. Please check out my latest article and don't forget to subscribe.

Appreciation and Gratitude.
Hi everyone. Having a great time here? I hope you do. I am thanking you all for your support till now. I really appreciate. My article today will be talking about how grateful we are.
Don't forget to subscribe and like if you like my articles and comment to add up.
Isn't it strange in the time we are living in now? Where people who have the most, feel like they have the least. People who have the most reasons to be happy, seem to have the least amount of happiness. Why should it be that way? Is it comparison?
Comparing ourselves to everyone who has more in this social media world? Never feeling enough because another person out there is doing better in some area than You?
***Comparison is a thief of JOY*****.**
NEVER compare yourself to others. It doesn't matter how great you are. If you do not appreciate yourself for who you are and what you have? You'll never be happy. There is always going to be someone who has more money than you. There will always be someone who has no more wealth than you and even thousands of people who are smarter and more handsome or beautiful than you. If you are always comparing yourself to others, YOU'LL always lose. The one unique thing people can never snatch away from you is YOU.
Your greatest asset is that you are unique. Live your true life. That is the greatest way to live. Then lesser you care about others opinion the happier you'll be. Be grateful for who you are. You lose your happiness and become depressed when you focus on what you don't have. When we appreciate what we do have and focus on where you want to be, we can feel better.
***Appreciation and gratitude are the simplest and most powerful way out of being depressed and having low self-worth.***
Some people will be like: "I will be happy if ........ occurs in my Life." And a whole lot. But note, you will never be happy setting rules like this in life. This is because life always throws challenges and obstacles to us, but it is up to you to overcome them. You can be depressed and anxious, Yes, they are part of life but they should be for a short while. They shouldn't rule over you. You can sit to figure out the problems that come your way and solve them only if you are grateful for what you have. Appreciating yourself gives you an opened mind to operate and solve your problems. Not wishing for something you know you would hardly get.
Break that habit of over-expecting from others. This is because when they fail You, you find it difficult to appreciate yourself for who you are and what you have.
Comparison is another big issue in this modern world, with the amazing existence of filters which makes you look super good in just a swipe. This same filters when applied in our lives makes us look bigger and better and leaving out the negative things that makes us feel pain.
The happiest people in Life, don't compare themselves to others. We all have different races to complete but the happy people who do not compare themselves to others run their own race in their own time and pace. Happy people don't have the best of everything. They make the best of everything by appreciating whatever they have. In Life, things always never work out as planned. How you respond to the happenings in your life would determine the quality of your life. The pain you feel when you feel you don't have enough is coming from your thoughts. **The moment you change your thoughts, you change your life.**
The key principle of living a better Life, is appreciating every little thing you have because there is someone somewhere wishing for that little thing. I am grateful to @Read.Cash for this wonderful platform and all those who supported to make this platform a success.

It is @ClDvor - Be motivated.
Life is strange and nothing stays same.
Everything changes but who to blame?
Life is a game where you have to lose before you gain.
To win, you have to face the rain (hardship).
In life there is love but more is hate.
The closest people go away when you needed them the most.
Day after day, people die and people are born.
Today you walk and talk, tomorrow you lay in your grave with nothing.
You have to be strong, do the right thing and never lie.
All that I want to say is that, BE HUMBLE. Nothing stays forever.

The Elephants Rope.
Hello Folks. It's @ClDvor with another interesting article. I still am grateful to you all. I hope you would love it.
Hope is such a marvelous thing. Its twists and sometimes hides, but rarely does it break. It sustains us when nothing else can. It gives us reason to continue and have courage to move ahead, when we tell ourselves he would rather give in. Hope is a wonderful thing. Something to be cherished and nurtured. From the biggest of tragedies lies hope.
The Elephants Rope.
Once, a man was passing by some elephants. He suddenly stopped, dazzled by the fact that such mighty and strong creatures were tied only by a weak and thin ropes on their legs.
It was obvious that the strength of such a mighty being, could at anytime break away from there. But for some reason they did not. He saw an elephant trainer nearby and asked why the elephant's just stood and not made an attempt to break free. "Well, the trainer replied. When the elephants were younger and less powerful, we used the same ropes to tie them. At that age, the ropes were strong enough to hold them.
As the elephants grew up, they were conditioned to believe that they cannot break away. They believe that the ropes can still hold them. So they never tried to break free. The man was dazzled by the trainer's answer. These powerful animals could at any time free themselves from their restraints but they are stuck right where they are because they believe they were incapable of doing so.
In life, just like these elephants, many of us go through life holding onto a belief that we cannot do something simply because we failed at it once before. Failure is a part of learning as I always say. We should never give up trying because we might be just an attempt away from breaking free.
In life we shouldn't always focus on our weaknesses when are the same time we can make them our strengths. With a little bit of courage and hope we can turn every disadvantage into an advantage. So whatever you are trying to achieve in life never give up just think a little bit.
Know these.
If you can look at the sunset and smile then you still have hope.
If you meet new people with a trace of excitement and optimism then you still have hope.
If you give people the benefit of the doubt then you still have hope.
NEVER LOSE HOPE.

Challenges are what make life interesting and overcoming them is what makes life meaningful.
Life is harder when you complicate the simple things. Enjoy what you have and live your life.
There is only one person who could ever make you happy, and that person is you.
If it doesn't challenge you, it doesn't change you.

Give No Excuse.
Greetings from this side. It is @ClDvor again with another article entitled "Give no Excuse." I am still thanking all my subscribers and sponsors for their support. I am grateful.
What in this world, is preventing you from getting what you desire? Are you too tired? Didn't sleep well? Don't have that enough energy? Don't have enough time? Don't have enough money? Are these preventing you right now? Or the thing that is stopping you is YOU?
Excuses sound best to the person who is making them up. You have to stop feeling sorry for yourself. Telling everybody you are sad, trying to get the pity of people isn't always going to help. If you see people making it, don't get jealous because they worked very hard to get it. Don't forget to check my article on working hard. https://read.cash/@ClDvor/work-hard-7f119d7a.
You've got to wake up. Awaken the Beast inside. It's high time you took advantage of the access and the resources that you have. There is this song by local artiste in my country, "SUSUKA" which means 'Don't talk too much.' No matter how far your house is, from your school, workplace or the supermarket, there is someone whose house is behind yours. There's always someone who's problem is bigger than yours. Why should you always complain?
Why should you give yourself an excuse? If you've got a problem with your life or you've got a problem with your environment, do something about it and stop giving excuses.
If you truly want it, you have to go for it.
Admit to yourself that the excuses are not valid. They are fabricated lies. The only way to stop them is the truth. And the truth is that you have the time, you have the skills, you have the knowledge, you have the support, the will power and the discipline to get it done. It solely depends on you.
Every good thing in life begins with a challenge. The good is not going to come to you, it is not going to fall on your lap, it is always going to be difficult. If it is staying a bit longer to train, do it. Do what you've got to do to bring the best out of you. This is your chance. This is your shot-shoot it with precision as@Dangerous_Fly would tell you. You are the only one who can change the situation. Do you think blaming someone would change something? No. It makes things worse.
Thanks for reading. Feel free to add your contributions. It is best if we do. Don't forget to read this interesting article by @Her-bert https://read.cash/@Her-bert/developing-your-capabilities-64173f93. You would love it too.

Wise Sayings to Know.
Hello folks👋. Thanks for your support once again. I should and must be grateful to everyone including this prestigious platform that allows people to share their ideas through writing. What is making you unhappy or depressed. Why is there so much hate within you. How long can you hate? I'll be writing generally on quotes. Hope you pick one or two and apply in your life.
**Wise words for you.**
Pain is a gift. Instead of avoiding it, embrace it. Without pain, there is no growth.
A mistake which makes you humble is much better than an achievement that makes you arrogant.
Stop looking for happiness at the Same place you lost it.
Do good to others no matter what. It will surely come back to you.
A strong person is one who cries, gets up and fights again.
No poison can kill a positive thinker, and no medicine can save a negative thinker.
If you have a family that loves You, a few friends that care for you and a roof over your head, then you are richer than you think.
One beautiful heart is better than thousand beautiful faces.
No matter how badly you are treated, Never drop down to their level. Remain calm and stay strong.
Nothing can harm you as much as your thoughts unguarded.
Standing alone doesn't mean you are lonely. It means you can handle things on your own.
Know that you are the best version of you. Your life 100 percent matters. Most importantly LET LOVE LEAD.

Be Mentally Strong.
Hello it's @ClDvor again. I'm still thanking you for all the support and love you've show to me especially @Read.Cash for this opportunity express myself through writing. For that, I am truly grateful. Today I'll be writing on Mental Strength. How strong can you be, mentally? There are a whole lot of people who are finding it very difficult to make it in times of mental problems. Some may be going through depression, frustration and even disappointment. But How strong can you be in these times?
In order to be mentally strong, I urge you to keep these in mind.
**Never confuse who you are with what you do**.
The most common mistake people usually do, is confusing their self-worth with their accomplishment. Which must be well considered. People find it very difficult to give theirselves the good positive Image that they have. Most of the times, they define theirselves by their accomplishments. Anytime someone defines him or herself by his or her accomplishment, the person gives him or herself a negative impression or image, when what they expect are not gotten. When that happens, they fail to regard their self-worth which gradually makes them mentally weak.
**Master your inner dialogue.**
Yes! Your inner dialogue helps you to be mentally strong. What you say to yourself matters more than what the entire world says about you. Most at times, people tell you you cannot make it, it is difficult to handle and a whole lot of discouraging stuff. Sometimes, it is not because you cannot make it. It is simply because they couldn't get there. Failure is not generational. It is never passed down from one person to the other unless you are falsely told by by someone who has accepted to fail. These words when listened to and accepted make us mentally weak.
**Learn to live in the moment.**
Let's face it, sometimes life just kicks you in the face.
Trying to avoid suffering is like trying to cross the Atlantic in a rowboat without getting wet.
When life starts tossing you around like a doll, you need an anchor to cling to, when things seem hopeless. The anchor, that anchor is your mental strength. Without your mental strength, you have nothing to support you. That is why you need to be mentally strong. You should learn to live in the moment. Don't be down when everyone is boasting about their achievements. Live the moment with them and don't ever get jealous.
**Be prepared always.**
How determined are you to overcome your problems?
Never let a good crisis go to waste.
Often, the biggest opportunities for personal growth are found in times uncertainty.
The best time to prepare is not when the crisis or the problems are here. But when things seem alright. For this is the best way to overcome your future problems.
Thank you very much for having time to read my article. I hope you would love it and learn from it.

Courage - The Quality of being Confident.
Wealth, Excellence, Status - these are different words with different meanings but they do share one important thing. They are all outcomes. They are not obtained by themselves. They need a seed, a root, a foundation. If excellence were the tallest building in your city, and you ripped it apart until only the core existed(foundation). What you would see is COURAGE.
`Before I continue, thank you all for you support. I really appreciate.Comment after reading to share ideas and subscribe if you haven't`.
Let's listen to this short story.
A boy found himself at the edge of a deep gorge (a deep narrow valley with steep sides), spanned by a narrow wooden Bridge held in place by ropes that looked like they would break with the swaying of the bridge. He had to Cross to the other side to continue his journey. Far below, a shallow stream glowed, it's swift currents splashing on the rocks.
They were troops on the sides of the bridge that one could hold on to for support. However, these appeared very weak and ready to snap. He stepped onto the bridge. It gave a frightening squeak. His heart began to thump loudly in my ears as he put another foot forward. The bridge gave several more complaining creaks. Slowly he inched his way forward, holding on to the dusty feeble ropes. The creaks now intend to rattles as he approached the middle of the bridge. It began to sway. This time he was not only trying to keep his balance, he also had to maintain a firm foothold on the surface made slippery by a film of accumulated dust. A couple of steps later the bridge swayed uncontrollably.
He turn around and look back; he was right in the middle of the bridge. To go back was as dangerous as to proceed further. What does he do now?
Courage is a thing that gives you a platform to build on. Every starting block it's made up of unknowns. And I want you to never be fearful of these situations, but be thankful for them. They are the roots that allow the tree to grow. The only thing required for you to move forward is having the courage to say YES.
Life is an opportunity. The world around you is opportunity. Some people close their eyes and ignore it while others choose to see it. Courage is never closing your eyes. Everything around you is Courage. That building you are working by, someone had the courage to start it. That article you are reading, someone had the courage to sit and write. The music you are listening to, someone had the courage to put their heart out there, into the world, to embrace the critics and envious.
Courage is understanding that simple and easy are very different words. It's incredibly simple to work harder than the person next to you. It is simple to move out of your comfort zone if you have courage. You don't need understand Einstein's theory of relativity to be able to do those things. But, they are insanely difficult.
Courage is the understanding that fear becomes progress, that being nervous transforms into excitement. Be courageous.

Time..,Time is all we have this moment - RIGHT NOW. There is only one thing in our lives that we're never able to re-acquire once it's gone. And I am not referring to money or material items. I am talking about T..I..M..E.
It is a special concept or idea because when it is utilized correctly, it contains the ingredients to success, to happiness, to growth and all the things we want. But it neglected, it leaves us with very little because the truth is every morning when you wake up, you are living seconds you will never get back.
What are some of your mornings like? Do you go to bed, planning to spend your time doing something productive the next morning? But when the alarm goes, you hit snooze again and again. And then you lay in bed for too long, getting up and having no time for what you've planned. Now you tend to be in a rush basically making your day not as expected. I will call it wasted.
Time is your one opportunity to embrace. What I am trying to say is that, there is no moment more important, more perfect than RIGHT NOW. Not in a week, month or some years to come but Now. You see, we have this mentality that the future is going to mean more than the present, and that if we suffer now, we'll save the best in life for "some other time". But the reality is that we don't get younger. Yes we should be working hard. Click the link down to read my article on hard work. https://read.cash/@ClDvor/work-hard-7f119d7a.
Success comes from endurance and effort. The key is to allocate your precious time to work. No one can prevent you from being successful other than yourself. There is no special requirement in other to accomplish your goal.
You see, it is so easy to blame someone but it's your own decision that cause destruction that you face.
IF YOU WANT A CHANGE TO HAPPEN, YOU HAVE TO CREATE ONE.
Think about how lucky we are to be alive in this era with access to a whole lot of things we could ever dream of. Yet, we don't embrace it. WHY IS THAT?
YES, Change is tough. Getting your wants isn't easy, but once YOU get through it, you understand what living really is.
We already have the greatest gift we can receive, which is TIME.
KNOW THIS: The fact that you are here doesn't mean you can't be there. The only difference between HERE and THERE is the letter 'T' which is TIME.

Work Hard.
Hello guys, it's @ClDvor on it again. Thanks for the love and support. I truly appreciate it. Today's article is on hard work. The question is, How hard do you work?
**Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe for more**.
Hard work is a great deal of endurance. When it comes to success, there is rarely a time where luck comes into play. Hard work however always comes into play. Hard work doesn't always offer a guarantee of success, but without it, there is a guarantee of failure.
The harder you work, the luckier you get, the harder you work, the easier your life gets, the harder you work, the greater your success.
Good things don't happen to those who wait. Good things happen to those who have great deal of effort and endurance.
Great things come to those who will do whatever it takes to achieve them. They come to those that do the work when no one is watching.
The discipline to work hard - not when the cameras are on, not when your haters are watching, but when there is no one watching. How hard do you work when the lights are off? How often do you put in work when no one is watching.
It's in rising early, it is in the double and the triple sessions, that extra mile, that extra hour. It is in these little moments that the great are separated from the average. Champions and successful humans care for results from their efforts.
**"Nothing worth while can be gained without hard work."**
Indeed, it is in the greatest challenges and struggles that you get the greatest satisfaction. On the fields of life, there is no substitute for hard work. Hard work beats talent, Hard work beats luck, Hard work beats almost everything. Make no mistake. GET THE JOB DONE.
Don't look around to see if others are watching. Don't seek recognition. You don't need it. You would be better without it. It is impossible to beat a human that doesn't give up. It is impossible to deny the success of a human with relentless spirit to succeed at all cost.
It is impossible to beat the hardest worker in the room. Work hard until the day you no longer have to introduce yourself. Work hard until one day your signature would be called an autograph. There is no greater satisfaction in life than that of hard work. Hard work forever pays.
Work hard, play hard. Stay humble. THANK YOU.

Never Disappoint Yourself.
Greetings from this side. I hope all is well. Ever wondered what self-disappointment really is? Yes? No? Maybe? Good. It's high time we knew.
Tired of making resolutions that go nowhere? Tired of reaching for the stars to only land in the dirt; and tired of running in place? You can have a much happier life if you never disappoint yourself. Following some simple principles I would be mentioning would prevent most of your disappointments that end up ruining things in your life.
**Never let other people define your success.**
You need to define what success means to you. Success starts and ends with realizing that. What you want to accomplish matters more than what others want you to accomplish. And what you want to experience matters more than what others want you to experience. So long as you allow the expectations and opinions of others to dictate your career choices, you will suffer or struggle with internal conflict.
When you let other people put their expectations on you and define what success should look like for your life, you risk becoming miserable. You can’t experience success if you are being pulled around trying to align yourself with standards and career expectations that other people set.
To experience meaningful success, you must have the courage to go after what you want even when it might disappoint other people. To be successful, you first have to get real honest with yourself. Decide what you truly want to do with your personal life and professional career and make it your priority.
**Don’t let the gap between where you are and where you want to be discourage you.**
You’ll never get anywhere other than where you are right now if you don’t first get started. Don’t let the gap between where you are today and where you want to be tomorrow cause you to feel deflated.
And don’t let your own mind and negative thoughts stop you either.
Successful people know they can create a better life. They know they can have a better career, and you should know this too. You can own your power to create happiness and fulfillment for yourself. Yes—you have it within you. But first you have to ignore those who doubt you. Leave all the haters behind and take control of your own mind.
The difference between success and failure is often grit. And when you get up and put one foot in front of the other—even if you can only take baby steps—you are showing that you have the determination, persistence and grit necessary to change your whole life.
Of late, I have been feeling down because my points have not been going up.. I felt really sad but after reading one of my articles and motivations from a friend, @Dangerous_Fly , I felt motivated. Here is it if you haven't read it. https://read.cash/@ClDvor/what-to-do-when-you-have-no-motivation-f7ede17a. Hope you would also be motivated.
The real questions are:
Do you want what you want bad enough to take that first step?
Are you willing to go after that career even if it might disappoint someone else?
Do you want that big win bad enough to change your thinking and even your behavior?
**Don’t give yesterday’s failures more power than tomorrow’s successes.**
You might have made some big messes in your life. In order not to disappoint Yourself, work necessary to make amends where necessary and then make peace within yourself so you can create a different and better tomorrow.
Don’t let your past indiscretions, missteps or failures consume any more of your life than you’ve already given. Reflect on your failures, learn from them and then keep it moving or you risk allowing past regrets to overwhelm your ability to ever really achieve anything different and better for yourself.
It doesn’t matter. What you failed at yesterday doesn’t matter. What you never achieved, gave away—and even what you accomplished yesterday—doesn’t really matter. Realize that everyone struggles, but only the people who stand up and start have any chance of success.
Yesterday is in the past, tomorrow isn't promised but today is a gift, that is why it is called PRESENT.
Make the best out of everything and most importantly, Never Disappoint Yourself.

Hello guys, It's @ClDvor again and I have something small to say today.
- Know that the secret to long life happiness is not buying more stuff-
“If you want to be happier, it might be wise to shift some of your consumption away from material goods a bit and more toward experiences—that would likely lead to greater well-being,”
This is the small I have to say.

Are People Born Smart?
It feels right writing again. I have been in a dilemma trying to choose a topic for my article but I think I have found it. Don't forget to comment, like and subscribe for more.
When we hear stories about a seven-year-old who can speak different languages, or see a video of someone with a photographic memory repeating back every single person’s name in a fifty person auditorium, we sit back in awe.
“How can they do that?” we then begin to wonder.
**We begin to think that high levels of intelligence are more the result of nature, rather than nurture.**
But this is absolutely not the case.
The truth is, we are all blank slates when we arrive here on earth. Sure, we inherit a few things from our predecessors, but ultimately our futures depend on our work ethic. There are plenty of brilliant people in the world who never amount to much, solely because they lacked the desire to refine their inherent talents and intelligence.
And, on the other side of the spectrum, there are plenty of people who had the odds stacked against them and went on to do brilliant things.
**People aren’t born smart.**
People learn how to work with what they’ve got, and become smart as a result.
How?
Smart People Read Almost All the Time.
Reading is a skill just like any other, and we forget that. Go too long without reading and stretching your brain, and you’ll find the task to be incredibly difficult — especially when it comes time to recall what you’ve read.
Sure, it’s discouraging when you come across someone who can practically download books into their brain and remember every single piece of information. But that’s far from the common standard. For most people, reading has to be a practice and a habit.
Smart People Love making Mistakes.
People who understand how true intelligence is cultivated also understand that “mistakes” don’t really exist.
Every misstep is an opportunity to learn a lesson, improve, and move forward.
Which means, part of becoming “smart” is shifting your mentality away from fearing mistakes and instead embracing them.
Why?
Because they show you what you need to learn next, refine, and improve upon in order to reach the next level. That’s all the growth process really is.
Don't forget to read my previous article. https://read.cash/@ClDvor/what-if-we-fail-048fc27e.. Hope you enjoy it.
Smart People see value in all types of Knowledge.
Dumb people are the ones who say, “Oh, that’s not relevant to me. I don’t need to know that.”
Smart people are the ones who say, “That’s interesting. I didn’t know that. Tell me more.”
Knowledge, in itself, is subjective. It’s relative to your pursuits, your goals, your ambitions, and your current projects.
However, that’s not to say that some knowledge is worth knowing and some knowledge isn’t. No, there aren’t enough hours in the day to know everything, but should you find yourself in a conversation about an unknown topic, why shut it out?
Smart people embrace these random moments of learning, and see them as opportunities to expand who they are and their awareness of the world.
Smart People Work Very Hard.
Whoever thinks becoming “smart” is a cake walk has never traveled the path.
Learning and improving should be fun, and you should enjoy it. But at the same time, it would be naive to think the process was always rainbows and roses.
The truth is, it’s hard work to dig into your craft and really learn it inside and out.
Smart people don’t shy away from this sort of discipline. What they do is they create a life and a schedule that encourages it, forcing themselves to get done what they need to get done in order to remain in a constant state of growth.
Thank you all for your time. I appreciate your love and support.. Please don't forget to subscribe for more and comment to share more ideas.. Learning is a process and we all know that.
