No goal was ever met without a little sweat. Sometimes we believe that som people only succeed because they are destined to. But the truth is, most people succeed because they are determined. Determination is that magical ingredient in your success meal. The difference between impossible and possible lies in a person’s determination.  We are not given a good life or a bad life. We are given life. And it’s up to you to make it good or bad. Do not sit around for anybody to improve your life for you. It is yours for a reason. It is not promised that the people you begin with will always be around. However never forget 3 types of people in your life-,

1.     Those Who helped you in your difficult times

2.     Those Who left you in your difficult times

3.     Those Who put you in difficult times

If you advance confidently in the direction of your dreams, and endeavour to live the life that you have imagined, you will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Sometimes we look at other people’s success and decide what limit we feel they need to reach. We place a cap on what we believe is acceptable instead of encouraging others and striving for the best in all of us.

Even if others give up on you, never give up on yourself. You hold the strength, power and determination to thrive.  The only person you are destined to become is the person you decide to be.

There is no chance, no destiny, no fate that can circumvent or hinder or control the firm resolve of a determined soul.

If it's meant for you, you won't have to beg for it. You will never have to sacrifice your dignity for your destiny. Do not let any difficult situation influence you in making the wrong decision.  It’s in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped. Hardships often prepare ordinary people for an extraordinary destiny.

Don’t sit around and hope good things happen. You need to make them happen.

Today, as you continue to move on the path that God has created for you, always stay true to yourself because there are very few people who will always be true to you. Strong people don’t put others down, they lift them up. Focus on your determination to succeed instead of judging people around you.

Judging people does not define who they are. It defines who you are.  Stop letting people who do so little for you control so much of your mind feelings and emotions. 

A life spent making mistakes is not only more honourable, but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. George Bernard Shaw.

And always remember, be yourself, because everyone else is taken.
