Just because you can, doesn’t mean you should. Be driven by intentional choices, not by momentary whims. Every day, every hour of your life is precious. Invest your time accordingly, do what really matters, and be present for those you love. There’s plenty of time for you to have an awesome life, regardless of your age, and your situation. Just a few minutes spent in the service of what you care about is enough to make the day an amazing one. You can choose today to rise above the petty disputes and meaningless diversions. You can choose to focus on the beauty, the possibilities, and work to create new richness. Every time you feel joy, sadness, regret, enthusiasm, let the feeling remind you of all that truly matters. And rededicate yourself, your time, your energy, and your efforts to those things. This day is filled with choices, and those choices can take you far. The life you wish to live becomes real as you continue to choose it in every moment.

Some of us are just following the masses; not knowing which direction we are going. We are going where they are going, doing what they are doing and saying what they are saying even when we do not understand why. Simply put, we do it because that is what everybody is doing. Following the crowd, is the most common travelled road to mediocrity! Are you doing something just because you want to ' prove ' yourself to somebody? You don't have to prove yourself to anybody but yourself. This is your life. Don't allow others to dictate how you should live it. And don't allow anyone to take you down with them. They don't know how you got here anyway! You can do it. I BELIEVE IN YOU! Wish you have a wonderful week

Life is unpredictable and comes with its own trials... Life is sometimes unbearable and sometimes memorable.... Do not expect life to favourable all the time... For unmet expectations disturbs the soul. Do not live life to please anyone, except the Creator. Just sit and have a flash back in your life... You've been criticized, you've been doubted, lies have been told against you, all manner of things have been done to run you down and to let others hate you. One thing they can't do is stop you from being who you're and that's killing them slowly. That's just life. Always maintain your focus and put your best foot forward all the time. Remember that you've all the time and the opportunity today to make tomorrow better. Do all the hard work today so as to have a restful tomorrow. Keep away envy and hatred and maintain a warm heart no matter the trials because life's short. Maintain your focus. Remember, God never said the weapon will not form, but ...

Leave the future alone until it comes: Be not hasty and rushed for things that have yet to come to pass. Do you think it is wise to pick fruits before they become ripe? Tomorrow is nonexistent, having no reality today, so why should you busy yourself with it? Why should you have apprehensions about future disasters? Why should you be engrossed by their thoughts, especially since you do not know whether you will even see tomorrow? The important thing to know is that tomorrow is from the world of the unseen, a bridge that we do not cross until it comes. Who knows, perhaps we might never reach the bridge, or the bridge might collapse before we reach it, or we may actually reach it and cross safely. Your today start make up your tomorrow. All what you do today builds your tomorrow, so never panic on what tomorrow holds. Make today good and your tomorrow will be better. The truth is you don't know what is going to happen tomorrow. Life is a crazy ride, and nothing is guaranteed. ~...
