YOU ARE YOUR OWN CHEERING SQUAD.

Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! Hip hip hooray! There you are the lone ranger trying to take on the world as the odds seem quite against you. But you know what! Where there is smoke there is definitely going to be a fire of sorts. What a year full of unexpected surprises to the extent of it raining in January (which is never the case, am guessing new year new things). 

Strange as it seems, I appreciate the uniqueness of this year for it is considered a blessing when it rains considering the dry season that is the usual norm. Here we are perplexed by the happenings of the day, the weather is unpredictable, the days are full of surprises & yet God has given us yet again another opportunity to see each new day. 

Well then it seems we will have to embrace the new world order of things but be forewarned don't get too comfortable. It won't be easy considering the path each & every one of us wants to take to better ourselves. At times you have to be your own motivation to make it out of the crazy twist & turns of the life we live. Life being like a maze you need to know your limits as well as your capacity to figuring things out. 

You won't always have others giving you a helping hand, you need to learn to fend for yourself. Just like the way you want the best of things in life, you need to figure out how to stand on your own two feet. Believe that you have got this & appreciate the fact that come what may you will go the extra mile to achieve your goals. 

Attaining one's dreams requires all sort of sacrifices to come out at the top. No one is going to hand you that which you desire (if they do, there definitely will be a string attached), you have to work for it. You want that fancy big house or that flashy car or those exotic holiday trips you have to pay the piper his dues. 

Never rely on hand me downs they will be the end of you. For you need to paint a picture of that which you  crave in life with your own sweat, blood & hardwork. If you want to take the short cut, well & good, but know that everything has its own price to be paid. Let it be that all that you possess & has your name engraved on it came through your own effort. 

In addition, don't forget that God whom you can’t see is there for you no matter how insignificant you may think He impacted your decisions. Face the world knowing that though it won't be easy you can make it. You have got this!  

DOES IT REALLY MATTER?

 

 

"Behind every successful man there is a strong, wise & hardworking woman" (disclaimer, this is not always the case, am just saying), is one of the world's renown mantra. Just like in the olden times every king was expected to have a queen standing by his side.  All in all, no man is meant to be an island for in the quest to conquer the world one needs to work with others to achieve the most out of a situation. 

Do not be like the doubting Thomases of this world who would like to sway you that you can make it on your own. Let me ask you, do you think waking up each day, healthy & breathing is because of your own will or might? Anyway you don't have to answer me, all that I am saying is that the ladder (not the literal one but am guessing you get my drift) to success involves taking a step at a time. We are meant to grasp the fact that to get to the top you need to have stepping stones.

The same way a family is meant to be a single unit, if all the individuals work together to make it work much can be accomplished. As is said, alone we can do so little but together we can do so much. The way a team plays as a whole will determine its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they do not play together, the club will not be worth a dime.

Just like the way band members have a special bond. A great band is more than just some people working together. It is like a highly specialised army unit . A unique combination of elements that becomes stronger together than apart. Once the unit is in sync there is no challenge that it can't be overcome. The kind of person you invest your life with, will determine the outcome of both your futures.

Let it be that those whom you share your life secrets, successes, heartaches, joys, memorable moments are worth being in your life. Not every one who is in your life is meant to have a seat at your table. Learn to differentiate that those who are in your life are more valuable & crucial than the material things which you possess.

BE OF CHEER & NOT OF TEAR.

 

Damn it! What is the worst that can happen! Then all of a sudden the gateway to the abyss of doom unleashes all manner of misery & mayhem in plenty. I am guessing some of us have had some experience with really bad days or weeks where everything just goes wrong from the get go. Then lo & behold you are off ranting about how your day or week has been a big, chaotic moment that you wish you hadn't woken up that morning. Well, this is the thing, it is not all times that we will have good or perfect days. 

Sometimes things will go horribly wrong & you will curse like a pirate wondering what did you ever do to deserve this. Other times you will look with despair at the four walls of your house & wish that the ground could swallow you whole. Such is life full of all the misery, pain & torture that it carries like an excutioner. Through it all we are meant to brave the tough times & take our stand like the spartans did in the time of war. No matter how life tries to crush you know that you are meant for a high purpose in life & that even though it may seem that your world is crumbling around you, you are stronger than you think. 

One may ask why do bad things happen to good people, well I can't really say that I know the answer to that but am thinking that life just operates on a different set of rules as compared to what we are normally used to. You need to unsheathe your sword & slay your demons no matter how many surroud you. It will not be easy but if you believe in yourself achieving the impossible then my dear friend there is nothing that can stand in your way. We all have a flame within us that needs the right kind of fuel to ignite it & if lit there is nothing that the fire can't burn. 

You are your worst enemy when you can't accept that you are capable of overcoming every obstacle or walls that pop up in your life. Yes, you do have a right to get angry when things go wrong or when everything around you is crushing to the ground or if no one is understanding what you are going through it is quite unfortunate that is happening. You have to realise that there is a hidden spark in you that needs the right push for you to see that even though all is falling you are never alone. 

Look at it this way, some of us believe in God others various gods but hey that is just the way we live. Out of all this no matter who you believe in, if you know that deep down you are never alone that your God or god is there with you, you are unstoppable. Do not sell yourself short just because things are not working out the way you wanted them to, just relax take your time, it may seem like a life time but eventually everything will fall in place like a jig saw puzzle. Also know that each day is a moment to learn more about yourself & your limits. Most important of all, know that you are blessed & highly favoured.
