Don't give up!

"Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up"- Thomas Edison

Successful people never quit and I believe no quitter had ever been successful too. If you feel like giving up, ask yourself again and again about why you held on for that long time in the first place.

Perhaps you are just close to what you have been waiting for all along and ideas start formulating in your mind and advising you to "give up". Tell them "not me".

It doesn't matter what is going on, whether you encounter a life obstacle or you are in pain; just remember, suffering may endure for the night, but joy comes in the morning!

Two choices!

"There are two primary choices in life; to accept conditions as they exist, or to accept the responsibility for changing them"- Denis Waitly

You have the right to choose whether to change situations around you or to remain where you are forever; it all depends on your attitude.

The choice of failure is very easy at first, but squeezes you at the end. Unlike wise, the choice of change for a better future squeezes you at first but later rewards you with success!

Why the squeezing by the choice to change? Believe it; you can never change yourself unless you are ready to take up the responsibilities involved! To be a true success, you must invest your time, money, energy and talents.

But when the season is ripe, you will laugh while others cry. Success is deliberate; you need to choose it and work for it.

Whenever you decide to be something, remember to think about the responsibilities involved. They shouldn't frighten you, but prepare you fully to face the future!

Do something!

"Every positive change in your life begins with a clear unequivocal decision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something"- Brain Tracy

Life lived with a purpose is a life lived with something discovered, done and done well. To live and find nothing doing is to be merely existing and breathing.

No one was sent to earth without a seed. What you may be is "fruitless". But the fruitlessness of a person does not mean he has no seeds.

The question is have you discovered something to do and be remembered for? Have you been doing something that will give comfort to another human being? Can someone testify of your productiveness on earth?

Decide on something worthy to do. Put a stop to all fears and intimidation from the crowd. Let your decisions be transparent, equivocal and clearly outline.

Having done that, prepare and go to work on them, changing the entire world, but beginning from you!

Life is how you make it!

"Life is a raw material. We are artisans. We can sculpt our existence into something beautiful or debase it into ugliness. It's in our own hands" -Cathy Better

One thing we have to believe is that, the grace of God is unconditional (does not need your effort to flow), but the blessings from God may be conditional (need your actions to actualize).

The taste of your life depends on the spices you use to brew it. Add laziness to it and it becomes bitter as the bile; put a cube of good attitudes into it and you will lick your leaps more and more due to its sweet taste.

Know it today that God put the kind of person you should be in you and no one can realize it except you. You carve your own existence from your very self and you can call it beautiful or ugly!

Never leave your future to be decided by the number of insults from friends, guilts from sins and mockeries of people.

You may not be able to go back and make changes in your yesterday, but you start today and create a bright future for yourself!

Life is how you make it.

Stay focused!

"Concentrate all your thoughts upon the work at hand". The sun rays do not burn until brought to focus" -Alexander Graham Bell

Concentration is the lap on which attention rests. When you are focused on a particular dream at a particular time, you are able to give it all your thoughts, energy, action, and attention.

To be in focus means to direct all your scattered powers to a common channel and guess how concentrated that group of powers will be.

You can't reach an optimum level of your dreams when you always give them a divided attention. Perhaps, you are not sure if it will succeed, so you are thinking of "trial and error". That can't be the best choice of behaviour.

Lack of focus is the major cause of unfinished tasks, neglected tasks and poorly done jobs. It also delays your time and makes you late.

Stay focused; don't be distracted away from your goals... You will be there by the grace of God!

Make haste!

"...make haste and come down, for today I must abide at your house" - Jesus Christ (Luke 19v5)

That statement was not meant for Zaccheus alone. It was meant for all those who behave like him.

What then was the behaviour in the dock It is an inability to come out boldly to receive what belongs to you. You must not hide, peer, and climb up, etc. to see what is declared to be yours.

Christ's phrase make haste simply means, salvation although comes by grace, it can easily be missed. And the step to take in order not to miss it is to act now!

Your dreams are yours, success is yours, freedom from sin and liberty is yours, and eternity is yours; so tell me why you can't get hold of them boldly

Be quick about your life treasures before you miss them. Never make simple issues of need cripple you because you refuse to take what belongs to you quickly!

Redeem the time, the days are quickly passing!

Believe in your dreams!

"Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared to believe that something inside them was superior than circumstances" - Bruce Barton

It is not a joke to say "who is in me is greater than who is in the world". The fact is that, Christ in you, has restored powerful visions in you and you have to make a plan for that to be released.

You cannot make it if you don't have a confident will to act. You have to believe in your God-given gifts and that ensures in you with an assurance that truly, you can and have made it.

To believe means to trust and hope for something valuable. Believers and achiever and disbelieve is as sin as wickedness.

Never doubt the provisional capability of God and prevent yourself from receiving from Him. He is there for you always; but before you come to Him, you must believe that He rewards those who diligently seek His face!

Be a true believer!
