God Is Not Your Pocket Genie

Going through tests and trials are inevitable for each of us in this life. Because God did not promise us anywhere in the Bible actually, that this life is going to be easier. So stop wishing that life should get easier for you, just because you are a christian or a person with a good heart.
You will be disappointed if you are thinking in such pattern. Hustle hard everyday as though today is your last..
And when you pray though, don't go before God with big tongues and marathon prayers, go before him with a plan and vision for your life and business.
Work on those dreams and visions everyday and pray to God along every decision you take as you work on them.
God is not our favourite uncle or auntie who will give us cookies and chocolate mints anytime we come crying out to him.
Sometimes he will "commot his eye small" just to see the effort and the commitment you have on your own in solving your own problems before he jumps in to help you.
Working hard on yourself and in your own life is everything.

May God bless our hustle now and always.
Amen!!!!

An Attitude Of Gratitude

To have an attitude of gratitude is the greatest virtue anyone  can have. Because it shows that you are content with the little you have and a happy expectation of all you are yet to have and enjoy in life. If you really want your life to change, then you need to add the habit of  gratitude. I realised that our generation of today take the power of being grateful for granted. Because we are a generation that is burnt on having more and more everyday, we quickly lose sight of the important things we already have that is keeping our life afloat at this moment. It's almost as if each one of us is in competition with one another when it's not supposed to be so. I was born with a disability from birth, an advanced form of poliomyelitis. I had twisted hands and legs as a child so I was only able to crawl on the floor. That was my only way to move. I hated that and myself so much because I wanted to walk just like everybody else. I was consumed so much by hate and ingratitude ...

Be a Generational Thinker

One of the greatest books I have ever read is Long Walk To Freedom by Nelson Mandela. In his book he talks about the importance of leadership through sacrifice and having a sense of responsibility to develop others as much as yourself. He is seen as an icon, a leader and a symbol of peace and inspiration, not just to his dear nation of South Africa but to the whole world. But let's ask ourselves here, what really made  Nelson Mandela such a celebrated person around the world???  Sacrifice !!!! His selfless sacrifice and desire to see white and black south Africans live in harmony together in the era of Apartheid took him to prison for 27 years. Even after his release from prison in 1990, he worked together with his haters and political opponents in the spirit of unity so that a nation which was once  divided and segregated white, black people, rich and poor people, educated and uneducated can live together as one people for the sake of his generation and generations y...
