Who Do You Think You Are?

“You become what you think about most of the time” ~ Earl Nightingale. Do not be deceived I know that the title may sound a bit sarcastic, but maybe let me rephrase the question; what do you think you are?

True to the question many of us do not even know what we think of ourselves. I asked many of my colleagues and friends the same question and the answers I was getting were shocking 90% of them have never even thought about it.

This may be true for you. Bob Richards says “you are what you think you are, and I agree with him 100%. You see the world only sees and knows what you give them or rather allow them to see.

Your perception of yourself may be different from what the outside world sees.

What you think about yourself may very well be different from what I think about you most of the time. They say all growth is from within and what is seen from outside is the fruit of what is inside.

It is therefore very important that you form a very positive identity and opinion about yourself and portray it to the world. I will give an example of a married couple.

If you portray your spouse, as a bad person to your family that is what they will get. Simply because you “know” them better than your other members of the family and the opposite is true.

What is Your Role?

We all have roles to play in our lives and these, change as we go through them. Take your mind back as to when you were still a young person, what was your role then, in your family for example?

What did your parents, your brothers, and sisters including your peers expect of you?

We all start out our roles as sons or daughters, sisters or brothers then friends, pupils, employees, and the list goes on and on. Compare that to now.

You could be married and have children surely your role has definitely changed. This simply shows you the pattern of physical growth and responsibility being taken on by you.

I am sure just reading the list of roles above has conjured up some images in your mind of what each of those means to you.

I know you have some kind of perception of each of them. Surely as you grow in your roles you will realise that these roles go with certain behaviours and expectations.

The behaviour that you exhibit is what defines you. To some they come instinctively to others they have to be instilled and built upon.

Whatever, the case they are built before they are shown to the world. The bible says “as a man speaks so is he in his heart.” Your reaction to the outside world is a result of what you harbour on the inside.

What you harbour on the inside is as a result of what you constantly think about most of the time. Let me make things a bit clearer for you by defining what a role is. “This is what you are expected to do or your function.”

The different roles that we take up during our daily lives help us to think reasonably of the part we play in society at large and what is expected of us.

Remember that you are part of one big family and each member family member has distinct roles to play for the betterment of the entire family.

Unfortunately, the larger family has broken down and it is up to you and me to be role models. You can only be a better role model if you change your thinking and put on your best behaviours.

Your character is largely determined by what you think you are. In fact, they say your thoughts determine what you become. You may have noticed that your role keeps changing during the day.

Some may wake up as a husband sleeping next to your wife, at that time your role is of a husband, next wake up the children, and you have a double role of both father and husband and as the day goes on your roles keep on changing and increasing.

It is this change in roles that help us interact with society at large. We mold our children according to what they see us do and portray.

Knowing Your Identity

Sometimes, our roles ask us to show only certain sides of ourselves or even to act in ways that don’t feel true to who we are.

The more we do things the more they become a habit and the more we think in the same way, the more these patterns of thought and behaviour become our identity.

The roles we play in life give us strength and confidence. The sad part and truth is that most of us derive our identities from these roles.

When you derive your identity from these external roles, your true identity gets forgotten and you believe the lie that you are your roles.

Knowing your true identity is of paramount importance in achieving your personal development goals. Your true identity comes from deep within you.

Your thoughts and your reaction towards the external world are a true reflection of your identity. Your identity can be seen in your daily roles.

Practically speaking we have to play roles to operate effectively in society. It is a requirement that cannot be done away with. But these can dominate our sense of identity to the extent that we feel lost when all is said and done.

The solution is to find a way of playing roles without them becoming your identity. Identity is from within. You need to find an internal source for your identity and not rely on the external one.

That is why it is very important that you keep reminding yourselves of who you think you are.

When we have found our internal source of identity we can then pick up our roles and play them with every confidence.

Getting back in touch with who and what you really are, that is, finding yourself, opens up the possibility to play roles and move in and out of them with freedom when you like.

Yourself Awareness

Self-awareness is critical to personal development depending upon your definition. You cannot definitely know or start to think about who you are before being aware of yourself.

The only way you can be aware of yourself is to take an observatory stance. A state of pure awareness enables you to step outside of yourself as it were and to take a look at yourself from a distance as an independent observe, much like a coach does in a coaching relationship.

Being outside of yourself system gives you more objectivity to make a better judgment of your personality. This then gives you a better understanding of thinking about who you think you are.

Personal awareness is gained by a shift in perspective of observing your thoughts, actions, and feelings; observing the world around you, the relationships and people, and giving yourself a break from yourself.

Get feedback from these observations and write them down. The advantage of self-observation is that you are always with yourself and please, endeavour to form an honest opinion about your observations remove feelings and emotions.

One of the best ways to observe yourself is when you are playing your daily roles. I have tended to believe that role-playing is for the gallery and does not allow us to be our actual selves.

Self-awareness will greatly help you know exactly what you think you are.

It may sound funny but many of us have no sense of self-awareness. We just go about doing business as “usual”. Personal success and development require that we change from our business as usual kind of a person. It requires being self-aware and more positive thinking.

If you have a positive attitude towards life most likely you are also living consciously. If you are living consciously you will agree with me that, things do not just happen by chance or luck. You cause things to happen by your thoughts and actions.

Understanding Your Self

With increased self-awareness comes increased self-knowledge. I have never come across a successful person with very little or no knowledge about themselves.

Personal development requires that you are in control of your being and to achieve this you need to understand yourself. How can you handle success if you do not have a clue about yourself?

How can you even start to think about who you are before you even have an understanding of yourself? Self-knowledge leads to self-understanding and this gives us choice and freedom.

It offers up the possibility to live spontaneously, in the moment, creatively applying your accumulated wisdom to the situation before you, free of internal conflicts and half measures.

Self-understanding will, therefore, greatly help you in knowing who you think you are. Take a break and ask yourself how much you know and understand yourself.

If you have no clue about knowing yourself, I suggest you become a student of yourself. Start by appreciating your various roles and have a sense of self-awareness.

What you are merely doing is aiding your knowledge and thoughts on who you think you are? Personal success, therefore, requires that you have an understanding of yourself.

Self-Acceptance

Becoming aware of your own internal processes and in turn gaining knowledge and understanding, naturally leads one to self-acceptance.

This is when you now know who you think you are. Accepting yourself leads to greater self-awareness as there is no need to hide parts of yourself. Acceptance is pretty much the opposite of being judgemental.

We all have experienced some bad patch of some sort in our lives and some of them we would rather not talk about them. The amazing thing is that the route to personal change and development is not by rejecting, modifying, or suppressing them. But instead, it is in accepting them that we develop and move on.

Self-acceptance is a key element in knowing who we think we are. The only way you can advance in personal development is by accepting whatever, happened to you in the past and learning from them and thereby, moving on.

Well, I understand that some of us may have experienced life-threatening situations but it is more important to accept the reality and move on.

It would be wrong to completely deny whatever, happened. But, to actually accept it; get professional counsel if necessary and move on.

We hide in these unfortunate circumstances due to fear. In my life, I have come to realise that the number one enemy to success is fear. Get fear out of the way and you will have the courage to do.

Self-acceptance can be actualised by knowing what you think you are. There is no success without knowing who you are and setting goals and writing down plans to actualise your thoughts.

When self-acceptance is attained there is even more freedom and peace of mind.

You see in life we as human beings accept people by our own standards instead of accepting them as they are. Most of the time people want to be associated with the affluent in society. Those that we know can give us favours.

When you achieve self-acceptance you will accept people for what they are and not who they are.

Conclusion

We all perform roles in life, yet we are not our roles and if we identify too closely with them we may feel safe but only temporarily.

The authentic self is the true self underneath all the conditioning that has been acquired through life’s experiences. You are what you are and that is ok.

You are an original and there is only one you. Knowledge of ourselves is a prerequisite for real lasting change and for satisfied contentment with life.

Ultimately being in touch with yourself means that; you will be aware of and be able to express your true feelings in an appropriate way as a responsible adult; you will have high levels of self-awareness and you will accept yourself for who you are.

I hope and trust that this article has helped you in knowing who you really are and that you now can apply it accordingly.

5 Principles for Goal Setting

“Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goals” ~ Henry Ford.

As the year comes to an end and as you prepare for the coming New Year, I thought I could just remind you and probably give you a few tips on how to set out your future goals.

Goal setting is one activity that distinguishes successful people from the average ones. It is hence important in life to set your own achievable targets that are measurable.

However, before you set your goals, you need to have your life’s intended purpose written down. The goals you set are aimed at helping you achieve your intended life’s purpose.

For more on goal setting please read this article Goal-Setting Tips.

What Are Your Strengths?

“Strength does not come from winning. Your struggles develop your strengths. When you go through hardships and decide not to surrender that is strength” ~ Mahatma Gandhi.

It is very important to know what your strengths and weaknesses are as a human being. Before you step out to set your goals know what your strengths and weaknesses are.

Know what flows from you naturally and what does not. I have noticed that the best goals are those set around our strengths.

This makes life very easy and the journey to success enjoyable. You cannot set a goal as being a better mathematics teacher when your God-given call is being an athlete.

You will surely fail terribly. This goes to parents who are in the bad habit of deciding their children’s careers. Just because you are the one paying school fees, does not give you the right to prescribe a career for your children.

Or put straight, stop forcing them to become what you failed to be, or keeping the family tradition. I have two boys and all that I do is help them build on what they want to be.

My first son tells me he wants to be a medical doctor because he feels pity when he sees sick people. He wants to help them get better.

The only thing I do is to help him work hard and tell him that he needs to work extra hard in sciences, to be accepted in medical school. So far so good and I pray to God that he continues on this path.

Write Down Your Goals

There is power in writing down something. One sure way of reminding yourself about your goals is to put them in black and white.

Please make sure that you are the one deciding your own goals and they are not borrowed. It is much better and easier to set your own targets than copying some else’s. Your life goals are based on the unique talents you have.

The targets you set must be your own blueprint that can be adjusted as you go along.

Writing also acts as a measure and monitor, as this helps you to review them from time and again. I find goal writing fun and interesting.

A lot of things pop up that I could have easily forgotten about if I had not put them in writing. Your targets are your blueprint; the final product is your white print.

All successful people have their life’s intended purposes written down and broken down into smaller manageable and achievable targets.

Dream Big

“If one advances confidently in the direction of their goals and endeavours to live the life that they have imagined, they will meet with success unexpected in un common hours” ~ Henry David Thoreau.

Our lives are made of what we dream about. It all starts with your mind. If you dream, small you are more likely to achieve less in life.

The bigger your dreams are the bigger your requirement for dedication and the bigger your expectations are. Zig Zigglar rightly says “if you can dream it, then you can achieve it.”

Am sure that you have dreams of what you want to be. I believe that every one of us dreams of what we want to be. There is nothing wrong with dreaming big. You are only increasing your chances of success.

Imagine Yourself Succeeding

I would say dreaming and imagination go hand in hand. When you are dreaming you are visualising yourself living your dream. Your imagination is the preview of things to come. Only you can see them.

Use your imagination to keep your dreams alive. If you want to achieve your goals you need to continue imagining yourself as a success.

Such positive thoughts send out strong energies that attract complimentary thoughts from people that can help us achieve what we want.

Constructive imagination means mental labour, by some considered to be the hardest kind of labour, but, if so, it yields the greatest returns, for all the great things in life have come to men and women who had the capacity to think, to imagine, and to make their dreams come true.

“The cultivation of the imagination leads to the development of the ideal out of which your future will emerge” ~ The Master Key.

Pursue Your Goals with Passion

The driving force behind your goal achievement is your desire. You must develop a burning desire that transcends everything else to achieve your purpose.

That is why I said in the first place that you set your goals based on your strengths. Whatever life’s purpose you have in life always make sure that you enjoy what you do. Life’s too short to be lived miserably.

Inject some passion in the things that you do. If you are an artist’s draw like that is your last drawing.

Imagine that you are going away and you want people to remember you for something, you will surely give them the very best of your being.

If you are in the service industry being good and just smiling at your customers makes them want to come back frequently. Live life with passion.

Conclusion

I will end with one of my favourite quotes by Thomas Jefferson ~ “nothing can stop the man with the right mental attitude from achieving his goal; nothing on earth can help the man with the wrong mental attitude.”

How to Create a Long-Lasting Positive Self-Image

“Life isn’t about finding yourself, life is about creating yourself” ~ George Bernard Shaw.

Before we start please get a piece of paper and write down the answer to the following questions. What do you think about yourself, what do you think your friends, colleagues and peers think about you?

The answers of course will vary from individual to individual and will reflect what you think you radiate and transmit to your associates and peers.

Galileo Galilei once said “you cannot teach a man anything; you can only help him find it within himself.”

What most of us do not know is that our positive spirit is the adventurer in us. It’s just a glimpse of what we are capable of doing. Yourself, image is the person you think you are. You are your own creation.

When you carry a low self-image you attract into your life all the experiences and conditions that tell you how poor and pathetic you are.

Conversely, when you are high in spirits you attract all the experiences telling you how great you are.

When you have learned to form mental images of the conditions desired, it will be the easiest and quickest way to secure results; if not, results can be accomplished by argument, by the process of convincing yourself absolutely of the truth of your statement.

Personal development and success have no room for a negative self-image. Which successful person have you ever seen carrying or putting on a low self-image?

Have a Positive Mind

“Whatever, the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve” ~ Napoleon Hill.

Life requires us to put on a positive self-image. You see, everything begins with your mind. Have you ever noticed that when you have a positively inclined mind about something the results follow suit?

If you have never observed this try to deliberately have a positive conscious mind about something good happening to you today.

Believe me, just the thought will make you feel good and act positively.

Imagine living in a society with positive-minded people. Individuals, who do not talk or act negatively towards each other, well it all starts with one person and that person is you.

Creating a positive mind is one sure way of creating a positive self-image.

With a positive self-image, even the people around you will be infected with it. This is the only disease you and I would be glad to spread.

They will begin to treat you positively. Remember you attract what you think. The more ambitious and positive you think the more you attract those things that you will need to prosper.

I agree that you may be distracted by temporal setbacks. But remember they are temporal and they offer us an opportunity to learn and grow from them.

Imagine how boring life would be without challenges. Without having to sweat before sweet comes.

Most of us especially the young generation, want to have sweet before we sweat. We want to cut corners and start enjoying good things where we did not sow, the end result is usually terrible.

If God intended for us to enjoy everything at the same time he would have done that. But, then that’s not the case. That is why he gave us stages in life.

First, you feed on your mother’s milk when you are a baby, before you graduate to feed on solids. You start small and as you learn to handle small things he increases your responsibilities.

Some of us though, have remained and have not grown to handle larger responsibilities. This has mainly got to do with our mindset.

Do you realise that we all have the same mind? It is the same mind that is in you and me. It is the same mind that has had great inventions.

The difference between success and failure is how we have positioned our minds. What mental self-image do you carry in your mind?

Having a positive mindset will definitely radiate a positive self-image.

Act Positively

They say actions speak louder than words. True to this is how you act in different situations.

If you have to build a positive self-image then you have to act accordingly. Even when you have been challenged, be it physically or otherwise.

A positive reaction attracts positive results. You cannot create a positive self-image just in your mind without reflecting on it.

Your outward behaviour is a reflection or a mirror of your inner self. I always say that your outer reaction is an accumulation of your inner image.

One always reveals themselves by how one reacts especially in challenging situations. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks,

Self-image can only be reflected by your actions. Therefore, it is very important to act positively if you have to create a positive self-image.

Without action, there is no reaction. Imagine if all the great inventors did not act on their thoughts, we would not have been privileged to be using computers today later on the internet.

Action is the key to every outcome. There would be no outcome without some action. Personal development and self-improvement requires us to act on the knowledge we accumulate.

I don’t know about you but the knowledge I acquire is for sharing with the people I come into contact with including you reading this article. It is no use accumulating knowledge and not acting on it.

The difference between success and failure is the lack of action or acting on the wrong side of the coin. Positive action will surely enhance your self-image.

There are many situations that will come your way in life and will require your action. In this instance, your actions will be a reflection of your self-image.

This is when it matters most, what you feed your mind. If your mind is not well fed it will be revealed. The bible says “as a man thinketh so is he in his heart.” Our thoughts are predominantly what we see, hear and read.

“Watch your thoughts; they become your words. Watch your words; they become your actions. Watch your actions; they become your habits. Watch your habits; they become your character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny” ~ Frank Outlaw.

Renew Your Mind

“You shall be transformed by the renewing of your mind” ~ the Bible.

Nothing beats the renewing of your mind other than reading. It is by far the best way to renewing your mind. What you feed your mind is very important.

From the time you are born to the time you grow up most of your character is a result of what has been fed to your mind.

I will give an example if you grew up in a home where your parents fought every now and again you will most likely end up doing the same.

It may not be your fault but your mind is conditioned that way. That is why it is important to feed your mind with the right stuff.

If you are a parent PLEASE DO NOT DO ANYTHING, especially with your spouse that sends a wrong self-image in front of your children.

Their minds are like cameras; they never forget easily. Remember that they learn from us. We, as parents, are responsible for nourishing their fragile minds.

I have given myself a target of reading one personal development and self-growth book every month this is beside the bible of course.

I know this is not much of a target but at least I feed my mind positively. Believe me, reading especially the bible, helps to build my mind which in turn helps develop my self-image.

I have always emphasised in my previous articles the importance of reading. If there is anything that you will not leave anyone with on this earth when you die, it is knowledge.

Therefore, when you acquire knowledge it is your choice whether to keep it to yourself or share it. Please don’t be self-fish learn to share so as to make this world a better place.

I am only saying this to emphasise the need to read. The Bible says “By wisdom the earth’s foundation was formed.”

Wisdom is gained through knowledge and the main source of knowledge is reading. You cannot make a wise decision without having the knowledge.

“If a man empties his purse into his head, no man can take it away from him. An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest” ~ Benjamin Franklin.

Conclusion

Having a positive self-image can greatly accelerate your personal development and success process. We as human beings must always endeavour to improve our self-image after all we were created in the image of GOD.

The more positive your self-image is the more confident you are, carrying about your daily life.

This also gives you more confidence in achieving your, written-down life’s intended purpose. I know that there are many other ways that you can use to help improve your self-image. I would encourage you to take them one step at a time.

Always remember that you are not in a race. Personal development is your own race and only move at the pace you set for yourself. You are not competing with anyone.

Why the Emotion of Fear is the Main Killer of Dreams

Every normal and sane human being has dreams. Dreams of having a better and more successful life.

Dreams of having a life that is honourable and meaningful. One that is worthy and fulfilling. Dreams of living a legacy behind.

However, you set out to achieve your dreams, is entirely your choice. It is your responsibility and it can never be transferred or delegated to someone else.

Better still if you live to see your dreams through, is something that can only be driven by you alone.

Achieve your dreams and you will be in the category that everyone wants to be because most people have not lived to see their dreams fulfilled.

Equally, most people will never live to fulfill their dreams, not because they have no capacity but because they have been distracted by fear.

They have allowed the emotion of fear to defeat them. Look, fear is responsible for killing and delaying the attainment of many people’s dreams.

Those that are living their dreams are those that have boldly taken a step and are courageous to act. They have defeated the spirit of fear.

“courage is the currency for success and fear is the currency for failure.” So whatever currency you are trading in, more often than not, determines where you are in your life.

If your major trading currency is “fear” you are probably where the majority of people are and if your major currency is “courage,” You are living your dream. If not you are on the right track.

When you replace fear with courage, your results will definitely be the opposite of what you are experiencing now. You cannot get different results if you keep on doing the same things.

Fear Is A Very Strong Emotion

What is fear? “Fear is an emotion experienced in anticipation of some specific pain or danger (usually accompanied by a desire to flee or fight).” – Power Thesaurus.

Fear is one of the strongest emotions among the 6 basic human emotions, which include happiness, sadness, anger, surprise, disgust and fear it self.

Because fear is such a strong emotion the human body’s reaction is to flee or rather engage in defensive mode.

Usually, this emotion is triggered when the body feels threatened.

However, fear is also defined as “a primal emotion that is important to survival and triggers a fight or flight response” – uwa.

Stronger emotions are usually very difficult to overcome. They tend to push us to do things that make us feel ‘safe’ or ‘comfortable.’

This means trying by all means not to do the things that we think are going to cause us pain. Naturally, people do not want to be associated with or experience pain.

But do you realise that you can never achieve your dreams without pain? I believe that the more pain you experience the sweeter the rewards. As the saying goes “no pain no gain.”

If you avoid the road that leads you to temporary pain and decide to take the easier route the results will be different. You may enjoy success but I can guarantee you that it will not last a long time.

Many of us are living substandard lives because we chose to take the easier route. The route that offers temporal success.

If only you can reroute your journey to take the road that has a little pain you will reap the rewards at the end of the road. It is never too late to make adjustments to your life.

Fear comes in two forms. There is “positive” and “negative” fear.

Negative Fear

This is fear that affects you in a negative way. Perhaps this is the most dangerous of the two.

It is negative fear that is responsible for failure. When you experience negative fear your mind is just focused on the immediate solution for relief. Believe me most of the time, this is temporal relief.

To make meaningful success with your life you must try by all means to suffer a little for a better future. Don’t be comfortable with the little relief that you may experience time and again.

Take advantage of the temporal relief to build on your future. If you concentrate only on temporal gratification you may end up missing your destiny.

Positive Fear

This is the fear that drives you to success. The bible says “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” this is a positive statement and should be embraced.

Positive fear has a lot of benefits. It makes you stick with your life’s plans. If you have to have fear, choose positive fear.

It Makes You Panic

When you are gripped with fear there is a tendency to panic. It is a known fact that decisions made under fear are not usually the best.

They are usually of a short-term nature and are not always sustainable in the long run. They are meant to get you out of a sticky situation almost immediately.

I believe that the best decisions are made when you have peace of mind. When your mind is settled and un distracted.

Fear temporarily impairs your judgement. If you have to make a good judgement you must always make sure you postpone making important decisions to a later date. Avoid being in a hurry.

Defer them to a time when your mind is clear and focused. This way you will make decisions that will help you immensely.

It does not hurt to take time when making important personal life decisions that will impact your lively hood.

Why should you not take time for a decision that will have more benefits for you? It is only reasonable and prudent that you take your time otherwise you may live to regret it.

Fear Can Affect Your Health

Even though fear prepares us to react to danger it is known to have a negative effect on people’s health. Fear has been known to weaken the immunity system.

It also can interrupt processes in our brains that allow us to regulate emotions, read non-verbal cues and other information presented to us, reflect before acting, and act ethically.

This impacts our thinking and decision-making in negative ways, leaving us susceptible to intense emotions and impulsive reactions. All of these effects can leave us unable to act appropriately.

Once your judgment is impaired you cannot make decisions that are long-lasting. Your primary focus is to get out of the current predicament at all costs.

Conclusion

Do not allow the emotion of fear to be a disruption in your quest to achieve your life’s goals. Always find ways to overcome it and learn to move on.

5 Ways to Build Good Character for Yourself

We all have skeletons in our closets. Some of the skeletons do not make us proud to look at. They remind us of the unpleasant bad past.

There is no perfect individual on planet earth, non at all. Even the so-called righteous men and women of God have dark skeletons. Some are even, darker than can be imagined.

However, there is room for all to live a changed life. What you did yesterday should not be allowed to discourage you from living a changed life.

It should never be used as an excuse for refusing to do better. You can make a difference if you change the way of your life.

You may not know it but we are role models for someone out there. Someone looks up to you. If you are a father or let me just say a parent, your children look up to you and it is your duty to bring them up in the right manner.

I have made mistakes in my life, some of which am very embarrassed and ashamed to talk about. But you know what, I am ok with the mistakes because I cannot change them.

I simply cannot change the past. I can only learn from the mistakes and move on and believe me, I have moved on and never going backwards.

When I look back from where I’m coming from to where I am today, it can only be God and I am very grateful to him that he has allowed me to live a more decent and changed life.

He has given me an opportunity for a fresh start. He has allowed me to write a new chapter in my life and I believe that there is a much bigger responsibility he has in stock for me.

My focus for the remainder of my life is to help change the world for the better.

Yes, there is so much more to work on, but my life is very different from what it was a few years back. I feel much more in control of myself and my well-being. It feels better to live like this.

I feel God allows us to experience certain things for a reason. All those late nights I used to spend wasting away my life have helped me to stay late at night doing something constructive.

You do not have to continue wasting your life away. You too can start living a positive and constructive life. There is room to change for all of us.

Change the Way You Think

They say an idle mind is the devil’s workshop. You cannot change your past. The past is nothing but history. However, you can change the course of your future by changing the way you think.

All meaningful and long-lasting change begins with a changed mindset. If you want to see and experience significant change, start with your mind. Change your mind and begin to live a much more positive and happy life. Start where you are.

Be the change you would like to see in the world. Stop complaining about things being wrong. Do something about them, fix them for goodness sake.

Have you noticed that people who do not have much are always complaining about what they do have?

Start from your home, if something is not being done properly do it yourself rather than complain. If your house is not being cleaned to your standards, clean it yourself.

All am trying to say is that do something to change the status quo.

The mind is the factory of what comes out. You are what you think about most of the time. Your mind is capable of creating the right environment for you.

Change Your Associations

If you want to see yourself progress, take time to reflect on the kind of associations you have. The relationships we maintain have a huge impact on our lives.

Relationships that are not handled properly can be a distraction to your personal development.

The associations you keep have an influence on your life. Start with your friends because they have a bigger influence on your social life. They say birds of the same feather flock together.

Some of the people we hang around with are not beneficial. They are toxic. Cut of all relationships that have a negative influence on your life.

You cannot expect meaningful change when you continue going to the club with your old pals if the problem you have is clubbing.

If you are in a toxic relationship you need to sort that one out. For those that are not married yet, and are in toxic relationships, my advice is to quit the relationship. It is not worth it.

If you are a girl and have a boyfriend that mistreats you, leave him. Find someone else. He will never change even when he marries you, in fact, chances are that he will be worse.

Spiritual Growth

The church is a good place to be. Find a Bible Based Church. You will find God-fearing people that can help you grow. For me, church is about service to the people.

There is no greater feeling of satisfaction you can get than what you get when you are of service. A good church always encourages its members to be of service. We serve without expectation. We serve because we enjoy serving.

There are some good folks you can find in church that will help you grow spiritually. You like it or not, spirituality is necessary for complete personal growth and transformation.

Look, believe it or not, there is a supreme being somewhere. For me, I believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ and have found comfort in the church and reading the bible.

Spiritual growth has many benefits, one of which is the growth of your faith and the promise of a better life.

Have Self Control

Self-control is the ability to restrain yourself from doing something adversely especially when you are emotionally charged.

Learn to keep your emotions under control. Otherwise, you may end up doing something you will regret for the rest of your life.

If you find yourself in an emotionally charged argument the best is to keep quiet and keep calm. Better still walk away. It is better to discuss when emotions have settled. That way you will be speaking with a cool head.

Watch Your Words

Watch your words and they become life. Be careful with what you say. They say words have life.

The bible says “he spoke and it came to be.” I know that many of us have been careless with what we say especially when we are annoyed.

But words truly have life, once spoken; you cannot reverse them. Yes, you may be sorry afterward but the damage would have already been done.

Words are a direct expression of our feelings and emotions at a particular time.

Make a decision every morning that you will not curse or swear during the day. That you will not be slanderous or say something that you do not mean.

Make a decision that every word that comes from your mouth will be that of encouragement. It will not always go right but it is just the right thing to do.

The magic word to use when you realise that you are wrong is I’m sorry, and please say it unconditionally.

Conclusion

Character is what defines a person. Change your ways and be of good character. There are many young people out there who need to be molded into young men and women with the character that can help change the world.

How to Enjoy the Journey of Your Life

A journey of a thousand miles begins with one step in the right direction. Do not be discouraged by what you do not have. Your life’s journey is about to begin.

“It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” Ursula Le Guin.

Today you begin to chart the course for the rest of your life. Forget about what you did not accomplish or achieve yesterday.

What you do not have, should give you the motivation to move your life from where you are to where you want it to be. From The state of stagnation to a state of accomplishment.

What you do not have, you cannot lose. The most important possessions you have right now are your life and your health. These are the two most important things you should worry about. Ensure you protect them at all costs.

Many of us are living a life that we are not happy with. This should not discourage any of us from aiming to achieve more with our lives.

You need to start from somewhere. You need to start from where you are. What lies ahead is more than what you have left behind.

Your current situation or circumstances should instead give you motivation for working even harder to better your life. It will not be easy, but it can be done and it has been done before.

Your source of encouragement should be, if someone has done it before then you can do it even better by learning from them because you are not reinventing the will but working with a proven method.

Start From Where You Are

Do not despise the days of your humble beginnings. Start with what you have and from where you are.

Be dedicated to your cause and give it all you have. Regardless of what amount of resources you have, just get started. Along the way, you will learn to build more resources.

Take stock of your current possessions, especially your personal skills set. You will be amazed to learn that you have far more than you thought you had. Your human capital is more than adequate to get you started.

God has given all of us, unique talents to enable us to do something worthwhile with our lives. If only you can unlock them they are the gateway to a better and more fulfilling life for you. Life is much easier when you are doing what you love.

If you have been waiting for the right moment to start, today is that moment. It is the right time to take that leap of faith and move into the unknown.

Today is the day you will look back with pride and appreciate that you took decisive action and stepped into the unknown.

Your journey to conquer your fears and experience life begins with the step you are taking.

Have courage and faith that you will enjoy your journey. Yes, there will be rough patches here and there, but with God by your side, you will triumph.

Make Everyday Count

Every day of your life is a blessing, make it count. You are the master of your soul. No one on this earth will make you happier than yourself.

You are most happier when you are doing the things that you love doing. Time seems to stop when you are enjoying what you do.

Enjoy these moments and make sure you do more of them very often. Life is too short to be sad. Make every day a special one.

Not everything will go accordingly but decide to be happy regardless of the situation.

You owe it to yourself to live a happy and fulfilling life. You are special in the eyes of God. Do not let anyone take that away from you.

No one has the right to dictate or influence your current situation without your permission. Not even your spouse, your boyfriend, or whoever, they have absolutely no right without your permission.

You cannot give an excuse that it was so and so who led me to do Something wrong. I find these excuses childish.

If you are in the wrong place it is your choice. You can either stay or move, the choice is yours to make. But make sure to make the right choice.

The best way we can contribute positively to humanity is by ensuring that our own lives are a reflection of what we want. If we profess Christianity people must see Christ living in us.

We must be the change we want to see in the world. That change begins with you and I changing the way we think, the way we do things, and the way we treat others.

Take Charge of Your Life

You are responsible for your life. No one is answerable for your life. It is your right. If you think someone will give an account for you, then you are mistaken.

Nature demands that each and every one of us account for our conduct. It also demands that we do the right things. I know that it is in our nature to do the right things.

I also know that we have a tendency to do otherwise. God help us.

Your life is in your hands. You are responsible for making sure that you account for it and make meaningful contributions to humanity. It is your duty to make the world a better place than you found it.

Celebrate Your Small Achievements

As you take on the journey of life, remember to always celebrate the small achievements you make. This will ensure that you stay motivated and keep on pushing.

Success is made of the small achievements that we make along the way. These are the ones that motivate and inspire people to even do more.

As you pursue and walk the journey of your life, enjoy your current moments and celebrate them with your loved ones.

Conclusion

Life is indeed a journey. You start off with people and as the journey progresses people disembark on different destinations. Still, the train of life continues to deliver people to various destinations. Make sure you make that first step in the right direction and never look back.

2 Reasons Why You Are Responsible For Your Life

“I am the captain of my soul. I am the master of my fate” – William Henley. If you didn’t know, now you know that you are solely responsible for your life. The choices and decisions you make are your responsibility.

Stop blaming other people for your under achievements and take responsibility to correct them. Humans have a tendency of playing the blame game. We want to have an excuse for our failures and inadequacies.

Most of the time we want to find someone or something to blame when things are not going right.

But do you realise that most of the time, if not all time we are responsible for the outcome of our decisions?

If you make poor or bad choices do you expect to have good or better results? Why then do you want to blame other people for your choices?

This lack of being in control of our lives has cost many of us opportunities for growth.

Look if I had been in total control of my life from a young age I know for sure that I could have achieved many things. Am pretty sure you can relate to this as well.

However, the fact that I have not progressed as desired does not preclude me from being accountable for my life. It is my responsibility to ensure that I achieve and attain my God given destiny.

I know for sure that we all want to live a good and pleasant. But, every good thing comes with a price.

For you to live a good life you must first take responsibility and be prepared to pay the price and usually it is a very high one.

Sometimes the small things we do may seem to be insignificant. Well you are wrong, success is doing the small things that need to be done and when added up they become significant.

Being responsible makes you feel at peace with yourself. As human beings we do not like being associated with negative results. But remember that it is the movement from negative to positive that determines the level of your success.

Personal development and self-improvement starts from being responsible for your life. When you are in control of your life it is much easier to chart the course for your life.

Yes, things will not always go accordingly, but you will learn to handle disappointments more maturely and improve on your weaknesses.

The Need to Be Accountable

“Some men have thousands of reasons why they cannot do what they want to; all they need is one reason why they can” – Willis Whitney.

“A desire to be in charge of our own lives, and a need for control is born in each of us. It is essential to our mental health, and our success, that we take control” – Robert F. Bennett.

When I was growing up I had no sense of accountability. For me life was just about enjoying myself and nothing else. But slowly as I approached my teens and advanced in my education things started to change.

The demand from my Dad to perform better and keep up with school work, made me realise that I needed to be accountable for my life. At least then, it was out of fear of being reprimanded by my Dad.

I thank God and give a lot of credit to my late Dad for the role he played in making me realise that I needed to be accountable for my life not only to myself but to him as well. This was a game-changer for my life.

Being able to be accountable made me realise that I also needed to be in charge of my life. Because you will not be able to give a positive account if you do not know what you are doing. I think being accountable makes you responsible.

Fast forward, am no longer accountable to my Dad but I have a wife and children that look up to me. Apart from God and society at large these are the people that am directly accountable to.

You see because I now have my own family and they depend on me, I have learned that my life is not just about me. It is also about them. I need to strike a balance between my needs and also meet their needs.

So far they have been very supportive of my work and I really thank them. But I do not take it for granted.

Being accountable to someone makes you grow as an individual. It also helps you measure the level of your growth. If you do not have someone you are answerable to, it takes a lot of discipline to stay focused.

I encourage you to find someone you can be answerable to. I know that the temptation especially for us men to wanting freedom is greater, but if you want to have better control of your life you need to have someone who can help you be in check.

One Day You Will Be Answerable

“Your talent is God’s gift to you. What you do with it is your gift back to God” – Leo Buscaglia.

I believe in God and the resurrection and that we were all created by him. I also believe that there is a heaven and hell somewhere.

The one who gives us life on a daily basis will one day demand an explanation of how we lived our lives on earth.

We will be answerable to him, that is why we must try as much as possible to live according to his word.

I have developed a never give up mentality because for every day that I wake up, I believe that God still has use for me.

Oh yes, I know that some things have eluded me, but I also believe that there are much better opportunities to come for me.

Always look to the brighter side of life. Stop complaining about going through the darkest side of life. If not you, then who?

Get on and do the right thing bearing in mind that one day you will be answerable to your creator.

Conclusion

Life is too short. Focus from this day forward on making a difference. It is your responsibility to ensure that you attain your God-given destiny.

With each choice you make, you create your life. Choose wisely and above all be responsible for your life.

Celebrating Your Small Achievements Can Increase Productivity

Everything starts small. Rome was not built in one day. You do not start climbing a tree from the top. A journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. You cannot start running before you learn how to walk.

The bible says do not despise the days of your humble beginnings. Instead of shunning them, learn to celebrate your small achievements. It is from the small achievements that personal development is achieved.

If you want to achieve real growth you must start with the little that you possess. You should never cut corners on your quest for success. Life has a way of making you pay heavily for your misdeeds. It is much easier to measure growth when you start with little.

Surely we all have something we can start with. At this age, we all possess something valuable that no one has. I know that most of the time we want to start from a comfortable point. But, if you are comfortable the chances to pursue personal development and self-improvement are very minimal.

We are mostly driven by what we lack and not what we have. What you have achieved and accomplished should be a stepping stone for higher accomplishments.

They say lack creates innovation. This is true because at the point when you are in a state of hardship you will come up with a solution.

You are the Captain of Your Life

How far you go in life is determined by how far you are willing to go. If you want to achieve greatness you can achieve it if you are willing to put in the effort and endurance.

However, most of us do not realise that we have the ability to achieve many things and that all depends on how willing we are to push ourselves. Personal growth is not an easy task; it takes a lot of time and discipline to achieve and it is a lifelong journey.

There will never be a time when you will say that now I have arrived. We are continually learning and growing as human beings.

If you want to grow, be prepared to travel the narrow road. I call it narrow because you will need to sacrifice many pleasures and defer gratification. You may lose some relationships. But if that is necessary for you, well just do it anyway.

At the end of the day, it is your life and you are responsible for it. No one should tell you what to do with it. Take one step at a time. Savour and enjoy every step and every moment. Even when things are not going your way, enjoy the moments. They come but once in a lifetime.

Start Small and Grow

Starting small is key. You start with what you have and where you are. Do not wait for conditions to be perfect, just start. There will never be a time when conditions are perfect. Now is the right time for you to start.

Starting small gives you the opportunity to learn on the job and grow as an individual. Starting small prepares you for greater things to come. If you can succeed with small things then you are more likely to do better with even more.

The Lord will bless you according to your capabilities and capacity. He is such a good father that he will never give you something that you cannot handle.

As you start small and grow, you slowly begin to release your potential as you learn the ropes. This also allows you to not be overwhelmed with what you can handle effectively.

If it’s a business you venture into, you will soon realise that the business will outgrow your individual capability and you will soon need more hands to help you.

Life is like running a business. Dr. Myles Monroe said life is a business just like marriage is also a business.

The small things you do every day add up to your greater achievements. You are a sum total of the small little things you do every day.

Embrace Change

Positive change is positive growth. Remember not all change is positive. When you decide to make the change, then you are on your way to growth. You begin to experience growth almost immediately.

However, you will not achieve your full potential in an instant. It takes time to have meaningful and reasonable growth. They say all good things come with time. There is nothing worthwhile that comes without sweat. If it is good it is worth waiting for.

If you want to achieve more with your life, learn to embrace positive change. Be the carrier of the change you want to be. Let’s be honest, if you really want to move forward with your life, you just need to change the way you live your life.

You cannot expect different results by doing the same things. Sometimes all it takes is just a little effort to make the change that will have an everlasting impression on your life.

Like I have said before, we live in an ever-changing world. If you do not change your ways, life will leave you behind. You will be extinct.

Surely you do not want to be extinct while you are alive, do you? After all, we all want to be remembered fondly even in our death.

But this can only be achieved if we make the decision to make positive change that will affect not only us but contribute to the world at large. I believe that we can all contribute positively in our own small way.

Exercise Patience

As you celebrate your small achievements you need to have a heart of patience. They say speed kills.

Do not put unnecessary pressure on yourself. Yes, it is good to be focused but do not pressure yourself. You are not in a competition neither are you racing with anyone.

Concentrate on living your life and not someone else’s life. Be in complete control of your life and you will be happy. Having control of your life is a great source of happiness.

All good things come to those who wait patiently. Patience is a virtue. Do not cut corners so as to arrive quickly. You may end up crashing before your destination.

I believe that being patient is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of strength as being impatient can lead to wrong decisions.

Conclusion

Starting small is a sign of humbleness. If you read the history of successful people most of them started with nothing. They started with zero and went on to be very successful.

The 4 Keys to Success

Everyone wants to achieve personal success. Every one of us wants to learn the ropes of being successful. We all have one common goal in life. To be successful and live a happy and fulfilling life.

We all have a desire to make a difference in the world. But many of us struggle to triumph and live a below-average life style.

Many have read on the subject of personal success. Many, if not all are students of the subject. Only a few are good students and are successful. While many fall in the category of bad students and are struggling.

It is almost impossible to understand the subject of success in one attempt. However, in all the books I have come across, there are similarities. The presentations and presenters, may be different but most of them have similar themes and methods of achieving success.

There are basically 4 keys that you need to help you achieve your success and these are:-

Write Down Your Goals

Without writing down your own goals, you will be shooting in the air; you will just be drifting and moving along aimlessly; you will be at the bottom of the park which is crowded. To have meaningful success you need to write down your goals and start working on them.

This is the only way to measure your success. Your written down goals have to be measurable and specific. I like to personalise them by saying “I earn so much by such a date; I have done this by such a date.”

You are the only person that can use the “I” for yourself. No one else can use it on you. Making such pronouncements helps to immediately know the exact target and the expected results. It also sets a deadline. Being exact with the goal gives motivation every time you read it.

Since the goals are measurable, if, by the set date, I have not achieved the target, I simply adjust the date accordingly. However, I do not adjust the goal because by then my mind is already conditioned and working to achieve the set goal.

Remember that the goals you set must be those that are in tandem with your overall life’s objectives. They must help you get closer to achieving your life’s intended purpose.

Do not underestimate the power of writing down your goals. I usually carry around a notebook with me. Where I write down ideas and many other personal things. Don’t just rely on your memory, write down your goals.

Set a Deadline

Everything in life has a useful shelf life. Some things have a much longer useful shelf life than others. That is why deadlines are important. They make you work extra hard. We are always working to beat deadlines because we all know that time waits for no one.

Setting reasonable deadlines is also key to ensuring that you achieve your success. Reasonable deadlines are those that give you ample time to be creative, work, and stay motivated. I have found that short deadlines can be a source of frustration especially if the goals are not achieved.

Everyone has an optimum point when they give in their best. This is the time when you are full of energy and enthusiastic for life. The time when you can take on any challenge without much of a problem. This is the best time to ensure that you work extra hard to do the right things.

If you are relatively younger this is the best time to ensure that you put your act together. Stop fooling around. Get to work and you will enjoy the benefits later. I know that a day will come when those energy levels will be a thing of the past. Ask those who are well advanced in age and they will tell you.

The way I set my goals is that they include a deadline in the goal itself so am always in the know if am working beyond my expected deadline date. The thing with having deadlines is that your mind is tuned in and expectant to achieve a result at the set time.

I have noticed that somehow your mind is constantly alert to your deadline and this keeps you working towards achieving or beating the set deadline.

Take Action

They say actions speak louder than words. Yes, it is important to set goals and having deadlines. But, setting goals and having deadlines will not achieve anything if you do not take action. Most of our plans die a natural death because we do not act on them. Taking action will ensure that you start moving towards your goals.

Create a habit of taking action that will help you achieve your goals on a daily basis. Take one step at a time. If your goal is to make say US$200,000 by say 31 December, decide how you are going to make this money and get started with the process.

We have a habit of just making good pronouncements and leaving everything to God. Look, God is not going to make you rich without you playing your part. God will open an opportunity for you and it is entirely up to you to cease it and make good use of it.

You have a big part to play in God’s picture. I have noticed a tendency, especially amongst us Christians of saying “I receive in Jesus’ name” when a preacher makes certain pronouncements and we leave it at that.

Yes, receive it and start working on actualising the pronouncement by taking action. Get up and go to work. The bible says “the Lord will bless the work of your hands.” Those who succeed are those who try and take action. It is better to die trying.

Persist Until You Succeed

Success does not come easy and does not come cheap. If it were easy, then we would all have been successful. There would have been no need to talk about it. But we talk about it because we know the challenges that people will face on the path to success.

Yes, things will not always go according to your plan, and most of the time they never, but when you persist you will triumph over any challenge. Persistence is key to your success. Those who are successful are those who are resilient and persistent. They know that challenges have to be conquered.

Without persistence, you are surely doomed to fail. Because along the way to success you will be met with many of them. Some of these challenges may look to be insurmountable. Your success will be largely determined by your persistence.

The bigger your goals are the more hard work and persistence you need to have. Be prepared that on your journey to success you will be greatly tested. You will need to focus on the things that you have an influence on, as these are the things that will help you overcome your challenges.

Conclusion

“Successful people tend to become more successful because they are always thinking about their successes” – Brian Tracy.

There are many ways to succeed but the above are key for me and they seem to work so far. You can devise what works for you but I reckon that they will not be very different from mine. We are all wired to succeed and the ball is in our hands.

The Darkest Hour is Just Before Dawn

“Believe in a hope that a new hope is dawning, believe that your dreams will come true, believe in the promise of brighter tomorrows, begin by believing in you.”

The darkest hour is just before dawn. Have you ever noticed that when you are about to break through there is usually a dark period that you experience?

Perhaps the roughest patch is actually just before you hit the gold; just before you break through. This is also the period at which many of us, give up.

Before the light of dawn, darkness may linger. Though we may face challenges and sorrow during the night, remember that joy and new beginnings await us in the morning. Embrace hope and keep moving forward, for brighter days are just ahead.

If you are going through a very difficult patch in your life this I believe is a sign that good things are yet to come. This though does not mean that you stop working hard but instead it is time for you to doubled your efforts.

I have come to realise that every time I start working on a new project, there is a period when things seem not to be making sense or going my way.

There is always a time when I feel that everything I try is not just working out. I feel a negative force pulling me the other way.

When I started developing this website I gave up for some time because things seemed not to be working out for me.

This is when I did not even know how to promote my blog site and was receiving very little to no traffic. Perhaps that was the darkest time for this site.

When you are in your darkest period and continuously work hard and smart, the dawn will surely come.

Do not give up in this period of darkness, it is when you should work even harder to learn from your mistakes and ensure that when it is dawn you can reap the rewards and continue to enjoy them for a long time.

Every Good Thing is Worth the Effort

Every good thing is worth your best effort and time investment. If you are to build something of value you will definitely have to invest a lot of your time and energy.

I have set myself targets for this site and this is always on my mind to ensure that my readers get what I feel is the best of me. My aim for this site is to give out enough and well written articles.

I am always looking to write content on a regular basis as this is the only way to add value to this site. Currently, there are close to a hundred articles all written by me and of fairly good value.

I must say that the traffic is currently improving and will surely reach the intended targets within a short period of time.

In a few month’s time this site will be of great value to my readers and contribute to personal development and self-growth topics.

One of the targets I have set for the next 12 months is to read a minimum of 12 personal development and self-growth books, this is in addition to my regular reading. This translates to a minimum of 1 book per month. Surely this is achievable.

The journey of success is not an easy one but is very enjoyable. I can say am still in the darkest of hours it is not yet dawn for me and my intended life’s purpose. The good thing is I have started off, am no longer in my comfort zone.

Just Get Started and Stay on it

If you have been thinking or have a written down life’s purpose just get started with it. Even if it is not yet very clear, just get started.

Sometimes we over plan to the extent that our plans begin to scare us and eventually are overtaken by events and we end up not even getting started.

There are some plans that I have shelved because they have been overtaken by events. Yes, it’s good to plan but please do not over plan.

You may adjust your plans as you go along and have a much clearer picture of what you want to achieve. Yes, it is very important to have a plan but also remember that time waits for nobody.

With time, patience, and perseverance you will accomplish all things. You should learn to strike a balance between your planning phase and your implementation process they are both important.

“In the marathon of life, success calls for dedication to the goal, perseverance, compassion for my fellow man, and faith in God” – John A. Kelley.

In the field of personal development and self-improvement, it is very important that you get started with your plans and adjust them as you go along.

You will agree with me that the same, is equally true with business plans. Normally the reality tends to be very different from the plan.

Only when you get started will you realise that some of the things you had planned for, might need to be adjusted to reality.

I personally see nothing wrong with adjusting your plans to conform with what is obtaining on the ground. However, don’t change your final destination.

We are mostly discouraged when our plans are not matching with reality. This is when you realise that you have reached the darkest of hours. At this point in your life, you need to steady your ship and weather the storm.

At the end of the storm is calmness and it will surely be dawn. I Know that every project does go through storms and therefore, it is very important that you, the captain of the ship remain very focused to navigate through the storm.

If you give up you might just be a few metres away from your breakthrough.

Learn From Your Mistakes and Make Adjustments

It is very important to learn from your mistakes and make the necessary adjustments, in order for you to shorten your darkest hours.

Most of the time your darkest hours are a result of your mistakes. Sometimes the dawn is delayed for reasons not known to us but, this should not make us despair for as long as we are sure that we are doing the right things.

Mistakes will always be there and are made by everyone including the most disciplined and successful people.

The difference, however, is how you recover from your mishaps. Always keep in mind that personal growth is not a competition neither is it a race with anyone. My personal development path is very different from yours.

Life will always throw challenges at us and hence we are prone to make mistakes as we navigate through it. Learn to analyse your failures and refuse to accept them.

Your mistakes are just one way of telling you to do things differently. With perseverance and persistence, your dawn will surely be upon you for a long time to come.

So far my personal growth journey has been a fairly enjoyable one. I keep praying to God that he continues to guide me on this path I have set myself on.

“Through perseverance, many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure” -Benjamin Disraeli

Conclusion

“I don’t think there is any other quality so essential to success of any kind as the quality of perseverance. It overcomes almost everything, even nature” – John D. Rockefeller.

Remember that personal development is not a destination but a journey. The darkest hours of your journey are just before dawn.

Never give up on your dream and keep on making adjustments until you succeed. Remember that every good thing is worth your time and effort.
