If you don't believe you can do it, you can not live to become it. One of the ways to define fear is the lack of courage to confront personal challenges. Fear is an ally of cowardice which is a limiting force. Fear is more of feelings than facts; because feelings are not facts. Unless you defeat your fear, you can not reach the feat of greatness.  The moment you decide to face your fears, you are half way to victory. Champions are known by conquests, and you need courage to be one. Champions are courageous and confident to face and fight their foes in order to actualise their goals. Fear is not first the outer force of threats but the inner feelings of freight about good and promising things. Sometimes, it is succumbing to an overwhelming thought of the possibility to fail. Lots of people undermine their prospects to succeed because they are afraid of failure; thus never attempt to take giant steps. If you live in fear your potentials will not be profitably fulfilled.

It is a sacrosanct fact that everything in life is guided by principles. One of these core principles is that of sowing and reaping, which states that "whatever one sows, one reaps."  Ipso facto, seeds determine fruits. Every actions of man have consequences, just as seeds yield harvest with time. If you do good, you get good; do bad get bad. Slander is a false, malicious statement (spoken or published), especially one which is injurious to a person's reputation. Slander is a behavioural disposition of one with a rotten heart. It is a bad act to not cultivate. A slanderer spots self in the process of spoiling another. Slander is not a safe route to success. You don't have to defame another to become famous. Don't speak ill of others in order to get lifted; it will eventually stalk you. Success and glory obtained through slander sublimes when the truth is revealed. By then, shame befalls the slanderer. Some people desire to be great but they are busy sl...

Patience is a virtue, a careful regulation of emotion on pursuits and expectations. It is a practical magnification of understanding the synergy between life and the concept of timing. Patience is a deliberate control of temper; readiness and willingness to wait through while working to achieve one's aim. Impatience eagers about quickness to achievement without cognisance to quality and durability; and this often distorts the prospects of lasting successes. As good as speed is in life, direction is a superior complement that should be found clearly and correctly. Finding direction takes time and that's one of the reasons patience is a sacrifice. Speed does not guarantee success; processes are guided by principles. To actualise great visions and goals in life, patience is required because life is time-bound. Patience casts restraints on unnecessary haste; it helps to take time to examine the likely outcome(s) of any decision or action before embarking on it.  By pati...

"Don't try to fix God into the equation of your life, rather submit your life to God to fit into His equation." God is the creator and source of all beings, including you. He had a plan for your life before He formed you. You are a substance of His creation, so, it is wise and most pleasurable that you live to serve His purpose rather than strive wastefully to regulate Him to your personal plan. An attempt to draft, develop and drive a different agenda for yourself against God's authentic template is a dangerous journey of life and a drift from fulfilment. God, the Almighty creator, has the absolute and sovereign right to determine all things about His creatures; He has a template for every human beings, from birth to death. However, He does not force His will on anyone. To be fulfilled in life, it is essential to seek to know with understanding, the specific purpose of God for your life and pursue it, rather than get busy designing your own plans for God ...
