Success is built on the courage to keep rising after every fall. It also demands perseverance, let every setback make you stronger.

In the midst of all this, be calm; the calmer you are, the clearer you think. Let your decisions come from a place of peace not a place of reaction.

Success isn’t easy, but that’s what makes it so rewarding. Keep pushing until you get to the top. If others say it’s impossible, it might be impossible for them, not you.

In all this, if you pull through, don’t attribute it to luck but to God. Be consistent in who you are because sooner than later, the person who wears two faces forgets which one is real.

The Lord said, “Without him, we are nothing….” Get aligned with God. Good morning and a blessed Wednesday..

Do not regret any negative experiences you had in life. Just see them as lessons learned and move on, because if you cry because the sun has gone out of your life, your tears will prevent you from seeing the stars.

If you keep brooding over the past, the future will elude you. If you think you have lost something, God is the reason why you have not lost everything.

Thank God for peace of mind; in case you don’t know, peace of mind is the greatest need of the human heart, it’s one of the greatest needs of humanity and it has eluded many.

It’s okay to step back and allow peace to take the lead. The Lord restores. Good morning and have a blessed Tuesday…

Thinking positive thoughts will empower your mind and free your soul. This is when your life will start to change for the better.

Look for something positive in every day and every person and every situation – even if sometimes you have to look a little harder because nothing is entirely bad.

Place kindness over every other thing because kindness is free and that’s the greatest need of humanity.

The Lord said: “And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God hath forgiven you”.

Be nice. Good morning and a blessed Monday….

As long as you are alive and living, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them and correct yourself, you’ll be a better person.

It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, and never quit. Life is a journey, brace up and face it.

Let your words be; today I close the door to the past, open the door to the future, take a deep breath, step on through, and start a new chapter in my life.

A new day is an opportunity for a new beginning. The Lord said “For a just man falleth seven times, and riseth up again: but the wicked shall fall into mischief.” Be brave! Good morning and a blessed Sunday..

Any bad habit that you refuse to deal with in the present will deal with you in the future. Discipline is the bridge between goals and accomplishment.

Character matters in everything. Beauty without manner cannot sustain you in marriage. Intelligence without character cannot make you outstanding.

Power without discipline would end you in futilities. Never take advantage of others, as it may not end well.

The Lord said “Holding faith, and a good conscience; which some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck”

Let’s be guided by our conscience. The Lord Instructs. Good morning and have a blessed Saturday..

Don’t make noise, make moves. It’s in taking action that you attract Good things, and it’s from the word action that you get attraction.

You don’t need to make noise to make news; you make moves to make news. The moves you make determine the waves you cause, and the waves you cause determine the news you make.

As a matter of fact, the more noise you make, the more of a nuisance you are likely to become because it’s the empty barrel that makes the most noise.

Don’t blame distractions, improve your focus, work harder, and let your success make the noise.

A man is not a failure until he starts looking for who to blame for it. It’s time to rise up and face the right direction with unwavering focus.

The Lord encourages diligence. Good morning and a blessed Friday …

If things are tough, you are tougher than things. Stay true, focused, and honest in your life journey. God has your whole life in mind when He directs you.The elegance of honesty needs no adornment.

Stay clear of fear! Fear have the capacity to demobilize someone, fear can paralyze someone’s initiative, fear can hold someone right on track without moving forward to one’s destiny, fear can attract evil, fear can stimulate failure, fear can hinder progress, fear makes one comfortable in their comfort zone.

Be courageous and fear not in anything you do, courage does not mean the absence of fear, but it means that you did not allow fear to stop you.

You’re unstoppable! The Lord rebukes….. Good morning and blessed Thursday…

When your shoulders are carrying a load of responsibilities, there isn’t room for chips, you can’t escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today.

When you try to evade the responsibility today, it awaits you tomorrow even if you have grey hairs that is why when you see an old man carrying a wheelbarrow at his old age, most likely he did not do what he was supposed to do when he was young.

The ability to accept responsibility is the measure of the man. Life is not a tea party affair, life is all about responsibilities. The Lord said “..Redeeming the time, because the days are evil…”

Good morning and a blessed Wednesday…

Life moves pretty fast, if you don’t occasionally stop and appraise situations once in a while, you could miss it.

You have big changes in your life that are more or less a second chance. To dive with abandon into the depth of life is to live at the highest level.

Communication is key, when you can’t find the words, sometimes it’s the silence that speaks the loudest.

Go after dreams, not people. Focus on what you can control and turn to God what you can’t.

Keep your mind on what you want to happen, not what you do not want to happen.

It’s what you occupy your mind mostly with that you usually manifest.

The Lord leads…Good morning and have a blessed Tuesday.. And happy birthday to me.
