Master of Success!

“If we are not allowed to deal with small problems, we will be destroyed by slightly larger ones. When we come to understand this, we live our lives not avoiding problems, but welcoming them as challenges that will strengthen us so that we can be victorious in the future.” ~ Jim Stovall

On your quest for success, do not shy away from challenges, embrace them as they come; they come to make you strong, and they prepare you for the next level of success.

The more challenge you overcome or conquer the stronger and better you will become, and eventually you will become the master of success. Correct?

Family close, friends’ closer!

“Relatives share the same bloodline, but FAMILY shares your successes, pains, ambitions, celebrations, failures, values, love and so much more. I realize that many friends have become Family and some relatives just are not. (Analogy: Blood scatters everywhere, when Family runs together...When I thought I needed "Blood" to survive, I realized that what I really needed was "Family"!)” ― Gaye Miller 2012

Some people may be in the category of persons who have family that back them up when they go through financial or other challenges, while others may be in the category of those persons who have friends that back them up when they go through financial or other challenges.

The truth is, family are always going to be there and will always be there when you go through thick and thin; some may be able to help when you are experiencing the bad/challenging times and may not be willing to help, and some may be willing to help in bad/challenging times, but may not be able. Some may rejoice when you are going the right direction, some may not. In spite of all these, family is family.

That is not to confirm that friends are any better or to confirm that “friends” are always able to help; especially when one do not have the “right” friends. When one has the “right” friends they would be able to assist in terms of financial support, words of encouragement or advice to go through the bad/challenging times and come out strong. In addition, some so-called “friends”, are not friends that one should keep close because they only tend to be there when “all is well”, while some “friends” become “family”.

Some people seem to fall under the category of persons who have “good” families and “good” friends who will normally help them go through the “bad/challenging” times; all well and good.

But, in all do not underestimate the power of friends. Your wisdom is to keep your family close, and your friends closer.

Family close, friends’ closer!

The future is here and now!

“This day will never come again and anyone who fails to eat and drink and taste and smell it will never have it offered to him again in all eternity. The sun will never shine as it does today...But you must play your part and sing a song, one of your best. ” ~ Hermann Hesse

Stop looking at the future like its far away. The future is each new dawn; so you must make the most of your today.

If you say, “I will do this and that in the future” and you are not doing anything today to get to that place, whatever plans you have may not materialize especially if you are not doing anything tangible to get there knowing each dawn is the future.

So, do all you can here and now, and stop thinking the future is some abstract number of years. Remember, yesterday is gone and will never come back.

The future is here and now!

Stick to the plan!

“Just pick a goal and stick to it; no big complicated secret.” ~ Richelle E. Goodrich

Hey folks, you have a long term goal, isn’t it? Your wisdom is to work on some short term goals that will help you build gradually to that long term goal. Nobody who is successful today made it overnight; they worked towards success incrementally. All you need do is, stick to the plan and overtime you will get there.

Stick to the plan!

Make someone's day worthwhile!

“For a permanent solution to easing tension and soothe the rough waters of the world that cause people to go to drugs, drinking, gambling, pornography, overeating, or anything that will give them some temporary relief, you can’t beat the support and encouragement of a friend.” ~ Jonathan Anthony Burkett

Each passing day, someone somewhere goes through or experiences something that causes them to behave beyond normal or act in ways that they never acted before. That’s why it is very important not to poke fun at people or frown at people for no just cause, because you may not really know how your frown is impacting them.

Learn to make someone’s day worthwhile – a single smile and encouragement will go a long way, does not cost a dime, and will never hurt.

Make someone's day worthwhile!

You are important!

“There are so many stupid things that steal that purpose from us. The stupid things that you believe a lie that we‘re not as important as we really are. That our life isn’t as important as it really is. It’s important to the people that you love, it’s important to the people that you will love in the future, it’s important to the world around you and it’s so important that you fulfill the purpose that only you can fulfill the way that you can fulfill that.” ~ Lacey Mosley

Disregard words like, "you are worthless", "you are up to no good"

When you hear those words from someone, replace them with these words in your mind, "I am important", "There is a lot the world has not discovered yet about me", "I am needed and wanted"

YES, YOU ARE NEEDED! YES, YOUR CONTRIBUTION TO THE GOOD OF YOUR WORLD IS VITAL!

The world is waiting to see you rise and shine; you can do this!

You are important!

Why the competition!

“How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.” ~ Steve Maraboli

Everyone experiences victory and defeat in varying degrees. In other words, until someone tells you what they are going through, you almost think you are the only one who is experiencing some difficulty in this life.

Believe it or doubt it, nobody is superior, and nobody is inferior. We all are earnestly looking for various ways to get ahead in life each day. Stop tearing others, start building others.

What I am trying to convey is that, there is no cause for competition, and that everyone is here on pilgrimage; learning how to make the most of each day should be our utmost priority, and making the most of each day does not include bad-mouthing and slandering others. Correct?

Why the competition!
