A saying in my place goes, ‘that success refuses to go to the house of those who fail to appreciate the success of others around them, because success feels that when she arrives, you will equally fail to appreciate her presence.’
Positive energy attracts positive things, we should therefore always try to appreciate the humble beginnings while we plan and wait for the bigger ones.

This is self-explanatory isn’t it?
The more you hold on to hope, no matter how tiny, the more it brims over.
Don’t allow the voice of pessimism drag you down and as much as possible, don’t engage in feeding yourself with all the negative back talk nor absorb other people’s negative diatribes.
It’s their opinion and it doesn’t have to be yours.
Remember that there is power in the tongue and the words you speak into your life, embeds in your mind. If therefore you keep speaking negative words, that negativity squashes any seed of hope planted in you.
Hold on to your hope. In everything!

The ups and downs of life are guaranteed. It’s full of uncertainties and can never be perfect.
However, how we handle these uncertainties that life throws at us is what perfects our moments.

Winning our individual battle fields in our minds emanates from what we plant in there daily.
We can choose to find ourselves beautiful instead of relying on others to dictate if we are beautiful.
We can choose to plant courage instead of fear. Love instead of hatred. A can do and willing to try attitude instead of I can’t.
A constant repetition brings belief, a change of mind and confidence.

What is that thing that your heart is set on? Do not relent. Crawl, limp, trudge, walk ….. just keep moving.
