Courage Within You: This is Not The Time To Lose Your Head

“Dreams don’t work unless you do”, powerful words of John Maxwell, I totally believe that, I feel it’s an Act of faith and it should be seen through action. But I also believe miracles do happen everyday and we can be chosen to be someone’s miracle. The good things and great moments happen when you least expect it. It’s just life’s surprises.

Fact is, the World Goes Around. It is constantly moving and it’s moving fast. I think people needs to accept life has a way of teaching you in all forms, whether its opportunities for you to take or challenges to overcome.

Clearly, these are (3) things you need to keep in mind for you to take the challenge as it comes, rise above the blame game and built in the strength you already have, these are your weapons:

DO NOT FEAR. In a world full of varieties; different people, different races, different points of view, different cultures, different events overtime is reality. There will always be a set of challenges ready for you and so are the opportunities. It’s a matter of how you look at life. Never let fear conquer you. You have the full control on how you feel, how you think and how will you respond in each challenge to change your life. Remember to consider challenges as life’s opportunities you need to take responsibility. Start with yourself: Never leave a room in your heart for fear but of faith, rise above your excuses and get things done in a rightful manner, you do not need validation of people to choose what’s best for yourself. You should know your clear intentions, discover your own strength, enhance your abilities and ensure it is overflowing to share it with people in need, to lead by example and to share love fully.

WORDS ARE POWERFUL. I believe words are like seeds, once it goes out of your mouth, you have no control over it, it goes where it is planted to someone or something and it gives life, it grows and bears its fruits, either to build or to destroy. Reality is something that is already obvious; literally everyone can describe the situation. I think to be different and make a difference is to plant good seeds by practicing to use your words to change a situation, imagine practicing piano for 16 hours a day ( it is more than your sleeping hours), don’t you think you will be good at it when you are practicing this daily?

Where you concentrate, your energy flows, your awareness flows so I feel a person needs to practice good and positive things. It applies in your professional and personal life, start by carefully select sincere words, kind words to build someone and something good, it is the only way you can bring change not just for yourself but for others and for you to progress overtime, simply because how you planted it will eventually go back to you a thousand fold.

REFLECT. Remember a teacher is always silent during the exam. Life is a constant test. Time will only prove this to you. I feel everyday we should examine our heart and what we put in it. Cultivate it with good habits, be grateful for “ Everyone” and can result to learning two things: “Reminder” and “Empowerment”. Your thinking of claiming “Everything” you have can fade away, materials things are secondary. Life will bring you so much joy, contentment and true fulfilment when you find a treasure: a deep meaningful connection. The relationships you make, the people who are there when you need the most, the people who stand by you in good and bad times, the happiness you shared with people, clearly it saves lives including yourself. You can only live life with no regrets when you enjoy life the fullest. Seize each moment, each and every minute of your life. Be grateful for all the experiences. Human needs understanding that your time in life is so short yet long when shared with people.

How you treat people regardless of race and religion, rich and poor, the skin color, age and gender and so on is your trademark, it is something you leave that people can remember, your legacy. Ensure to touch lives by “loving people.” Remember, what you give you owe it to yourself. You can’t give something you never had. Take time to reflect, pause, and rejuvenate. Be wise on choosing the right people, the right steps you need to make and the decisions you choose.

Everyday, I live in “Carpe Diem” means “Seize the Day” it reminds me to make the BEST of it in every way. To choose only the Best and not lose a moment, but, just completely Live Today to the fullest.
