This season shall soon pass
In these times, it is important to take a cue from the seasons. Hard times do come and go. Winters do come and they go. No season will last forever and no season ever escapes its turn. When reading the New Testament of the Bible, you keep coming across these words, “And it came to pass…” The only things that are permanent in life are God, principles and change. Your challenges today are not an indication that the world has come to an end. There is still a lot that can be done. Read more
Refuse to Quit!
Life can be tough and rough, but has it ever been easy? The people who are celebrated in all civilisations are people that knew what they wanted and they were willing to fight to the bitter end to get it. In some cases, people had to suffer and die in order to achieve their goals. Read more
Become a Dream Maker, not just a Dreamer
There are 6.5 billion people in the world, and every one of them has a dream, an ambition, or vision– as we say to one another. Ask yourself, how many of these people realise their dreams? Then, scale it down to an individual level; and ask yourself if you are realizing your dream? You would discover that many are not, because their dreams remain dreams, nothing more, nothing less.

Hope is not a Strategy
It is easy to sit and wait for our lives to change and for the situation to improve before we can do something. An empty and lazy hope is not a sustainable strategy for greatness. Indeed, at any given moment we are faced with many choices and strategic options. One of those options, the easiest of them all, is to do nothing. Just sitting and hoping for change is irresponsibility and a symptom of laziness. Read more
Preserve Your Momentum !
What is momentum? The dictionary definition of momentum is the power to increase or develop at an ever-growing pace or the speed or force of forward movement of an object. The synonyms of this beautiful word are impetus, drive, thrust, energy, or force. In the journey of greatness momentum should never be taken for granted but it must be preserved. Preserving momentum is not easy but it is possible. Read more
“Do not give up!”
The challenges of life can be very frightening and exhausting. At times we are tempted to give up and give in. When we come accross a big boulder on our way at times we want to give up and turn back but we must never forget to turn it into a stepping stone. If we can not, we can at least circle our way around it. If this is too much for us we can tunnel our way through it. If this is not possible we can continue to explore other ways of moving the mountain. Read more
The Myths about Greatness!
Most of us desire greatness. However, a great majority has given up on even attempting anything great. The rigours of living can easily snuff out the fighting spirit from the battle-weary souls. The challenge is that we succumb to myths that hold us back and imprison us. Some of these myths have been passed on from generation to generation. Being imprisoned to a lie robs us of the greatness that we deserve. Being lied to is bad, but living a lie is worse. Here are a few myths that have held us back at one time or another that we need to challenge, face and unmask as we unleash our greatness.

New Season, New Beginnings!
Life is not as long as it sometimes feels when we are young. In fact life can fly so fast in our faces that we may wonder what we did with the days that God gave to us. Take for instance the life of Joe who died at 70 years of age. Joe lived 25,550 days. This looks like a lot until we consider a few more facts. Joe spent 23 years in school; this represented 8,395 days (33% of his life). Assuming that Joe slept for 8 hours every day, it means that he was asleep for a third of his life and this represents 8,517 days. If Joe had no clear purpose, did not have worthwhile goals and was not focused, it is probable that he wasted his days and wondered why he died a frustrated, angry, mediocre and unfulfilled man. This was Joe, what about you and me? Read more
“Make the most of your time”
Henry Van Dyke once said, “Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity”. Time is the most precious, yet perishable resource of all. If it is used well it can elevate a nonentity to a place of greatness and influence. When it is abused it can arrest someone in bitter mediocrity. The currency of the life of greatness is time. Maybe this is reason why over the centuries cliches like time is money and procratination is the thief of time have evolved. Read more
