IT'S TIME TO THINK LIKE A FOREIGNER

It’s time to think like a foreigner. Time to think success and not failure. Time to think responsibility and not blaming others. Time to think opportunities and not obstacles. Time to think dreams and not struggles.

 

Time to think abundance and not lack. Time to think progress and not delays. Time to think change and not routine. Time to think tomorrow and not yesterday.

 

Time to think prosperity and not poverty. Time to think multiplication of resources and not division. Time to think addition of properties and not subtraction. Time to think positive thoughts and not negative ones.

 

Time to think investment and not expenses. Time to think wealth acquisition and not debts creation. Time to think financial freedom and not economic slavery. Time to think multiple sources of income and not salary. Time to think about creating a will for our off-springs and not bills.

 

Time to think about selling and not just buying. Time to think about producing and not just consuming. Time to think business and not just employment. Time to think faith and not just facts. Time to think about tripling your income and not just doubling your expenses.

 

Time to think about making a profit and not just waiting for a pay hike. Time to think about building your dream and not just contributing to another person’s. Time to think about God and not the devil. Time to think like an immigrant and not a local. It’s time to think like a foreigner.

 

SING A NEW SONG

Complaining is a popular song sung by the negative, helpless, powerless, hopeless and frustrated masses. Don't join their mass choir but rather learn to sing your own new song. Sing a song of inspiration, sing a song of hope, sing a song of love, sing a song of inspiration, sing a song of success, sing a song of your future dreams and sing a song of faith.

YOU ARE ONE PERSON AWAY

You are one person away from your destiny, one person away from success, one person away from marriage, one person away from striking the deal, one person away from finding employment and one person away from your breakthrough. People are the link to your tomorrow.

FAITH IS LIKE

Faith is like fuel it will give you the power to push towards your dreams. Faith is like binoculars it will enable you to visualise your destiny. Faith is like a staircase it will enable you to climb over the mountain of impossibilities. Faith is like an electric cable it will enable you to connect to god’s unlimited power supply.

SOMEBODY IS WATCHING

There are people who are watching you without you noticing. There are people who are admiring you without you being aware. There are people who are being inspired by you without you knowing. There are people whose lives you have impacted without you being aware. There are people who look up to you without you knowing. So, keep living productively because somebody somewhere is watching and even following in your footsteps

IT'S TIME

It is time to grow up. You can't continue behaving like an infant by always waiting for someone to feed you, employ you, guard you, supervise you, appreciate you, protect you, promote you, encourage you, love you, pamper you, support you, defend you, carry you, pray for you, think for you, tolerate your drama and clean up your mess.

LEARN TO COUNT

Count your blessings and not your burdens, count your friends and not your enemies, count your successes and not your failures, count your testimonies and not your trials, count your great memories and not your painful ones, count your breakthroughs and not your breakups, count your smiles and not your tears and count your dreams and not your nightmares.

FROM NORMAL TO ABNORMAL

It is normal to be sometimes sad, hopeless, depressed, discouraged and doubtful but it is abnormal to remain in the same state while you are still alive. It is abnormal to allow temporary experiences to be permanent conditions.

LIFE IS LIKE

Life is like a guitar you just have to learn to play it. Life is like a song you just have to learn to sing it. Life is like a journey you just have to learn to travel it. Life is like opening a safe, you just have to learn the combinations. Life is like a jigsaw puzzle you just have to learn to figure it out. Life is like cooking you just have to learn to mix the ingredients.

GROW UP

When things didn't go your way when you were young you used to cry and now that you are an adult, stop complaining and crying like a powerless toddler but rather learn to pray and think positively like a responsible matured person.

ONE OF THESE DAYS

One of these days the world is going to hear about your remarkable story, applaud you for your brilliance, admire you for your resilience, pay you for your extra-ordinary talents and honour you for being a voice for the voiceless.

The Queue is getting shorter

IN THE MIDDLE OF YOUR DISAPPOINTMENTS, DELAYS AND DISCOURAGEMENT JUST KNOW THIS; YOU ARE STILL IN THE QUEUE TO YOUR BREAKTHROUGH. YOU MAY HAVE BEEN NUMBER 30 LAST MONTH, 25 LAST WEEK, 10 YESTERDAY, 3 TODAY AND TOMORROW YOU ARE LIKELY TO BE NUMBER 1. SO LOOK AT YOUR TOMORROW WITH EXPECTATIONS BECAUSE IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME.

Head first

WHEN A CHILD LEAVES HIS MOTHER’S WOMB ON THE DAY OF DELIVERY, HE COMES OUT HEAD FIRST, MEANING IF YOU WANT TO COME OUT OF YOUR DEPRESSION AND HARDSHIPS YOU NEED TO COME OUT HEAD FIRST. YOU NEED TO CHANGE YOUR MINDSET IN ORDER TO MOVE FROM WHERE YOU ARE TO WHERE YOU ARE ASPIRING TO BE.

 

God's business

GOD IS IN THE RE- BUSINESS. SO, ALLOW HIM TO RECYCLE YOUR PAIN, REVIVE YOUR DREAMS,RESURRECT YOUR FAITH, REPOSITION YOU, REJUVINATE YOU, RESTORE WHAT YOU HAVE LOST, RE-IGNITE YOUR HOPE, RENEW YOUR STRENGTH, REPROGRAM YOUR MIND, REDIRECT YOUR STEPS, RE-ORGANISE YOUR PRIORITIES, REPAIR YOUR RELATIONSHIPS, REVEAL YOUR PURPOSE AND REPLACE WHAT IS DEAD IN YOUR LIFE.

Don't lose your faith

DON’T LOSE YOUR FAITH NO MATTER HOW HOPELESS YOUR SITUATION MAY BE. DON’T LOSE YOUR FAITH NO MATTER HOW INTIMIDATING LIFE MAY BE. DON’T LOSE YOUR FAITH NO MATTER HOW NEGATIVE THE FACTS MAY BE. DON’T LOSE YOUR FAITH NO MATTER HOW OVERWHELMING THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU MAY BE. DON’T LOSE YOUR FAITH BECAUSE GOD IS STILL IN CONTROL.

The real you

WHEN YOU SQUEEZ AN ORANGE, ORANGE JUICE COMES OUT, WHEN YOU SQUEEZ AN APPLE, APPLE JUICE COMES OUT, WHEN YOU SQUEEZ A GRAPE, GRAPE JUICE COMES OUT, WHEN YOU SQUEEZ AN OLIVE, OLIVE OIL COMES OUT AND WHEN LIFE’S CHALLENGES SQUEEZ YOU, THE REAL YOU WILL SHOW UP. CHALLENGES ARE NOT MEANT TO DESTROY YOU BUT TO REVEAL YOU TO YOU.

 

The cemetery of your past

There are certain people whose company is only enjoyable when you constantly talk about the past. Your conversation with them becomes meaningful when you join them in an expedition down memory lane. Nothing is ever mentioned about what they are doing and where they are going. Renowned author and teacher, Dr Mike Murdock describes the effect of the past through these words: “Our houses are full of pictures about our past, pictures that are hanging all over our walls. Hence, we are always caught up in a tragic mindset of living in the past, because we have not taken the effort to design the pictures about the kind of future we desire.” Listen, there is nothing wrong when you once in a while visit the museum of your past but it is catastrophic when the cemetery of your past becomes your dwelling place. You cannot afford to live in the past when the future is beckoning you. What you need to take into cognisance is that your past is buried, your present is what matters and your future is wrapped in the core of what you are currently doing.

 

Battle within

An old Cherokee Indian was having a conversation with his grandson. “My son, there is a battle between two wolves inside all of us. One is evil and it is revealed through the following character traits: anger, envy, jealousy, greed, arrogance, self-pity, resentment, lies, false pride and ego. On the other hand, the good one possesses the following attributes: joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, truth, compassion and faith.” The grandson asked which wolf wins. The old Cherokee replied, “The one you feed the most.”
The greatest battle about life is not on the outside but on the inside; for, it is the inner qualities that have a bearing on the outside appearance. We all strive to alter and change the things we don’t like on the outside without realizing that everything needs to be re-programmed on the inside. Our lives are a reflection of what is happening on the inside.
If you are not happy with the picture of your life, make sure you adjust the camera on the inside.

Womb of development.

Negative situations offer many of us opportunities to attend free lessons in which we acquire knowledge and strength. There is something worthwhile in every negative circumstance, for what you are going through prepares you for where you are going. You may view your negative circumstances as a prison without realizing that you are actually in a womb which is a place of preparation and development.
A womb may not be an appealing place to live in, but it is a place where one needs to be in order to acquire knowledge, develop courage and discover purpose. Some of the world’s greatest people were once enrolled and tutored in life’s university of adversity. What you are going through is not unique, because somebody before you went through the same classes and they came out of those negative situations with a degree in greatness.

 

Stay focused like a lion

Focus determines the direction and success of any person, group or organization. It is the missing ingredient in many people’s lives and is therefore what separates champions from losers, achievers from failures and the extra-ordinary from the ordinary. As the common saying goes, “good girls go to heaven while bad girls go everywhere”. This means that people who are focused know where they are going, while the less focused go everywhere.
Predators, like lions, understand the power of focus. Whenever a lion encounters a group of zebras during its hunting expedition, it immediately focuses on one zebra. And during the chase, the lion ignores the other zebras but continues pursuing the one zebra it has chosen. And no matter how fast the zebra may run, the lion continues with its pursuit. The zebra might even seem to be outrunning other zebras but in spite of its efforts, the lion would continue the chase like a missile until it catches its prey. A lion knows that whatever it focuses on, it would eventually get.
So, like a lion, focus on one zebra (projects, tasks and goals) at a time. Pursue one thing at a time. Even though your prey might try to outrun you, stick to it. Let your hunger for success be the fuel that would power you into chasing and finally catching the zebra you have been whole heartedly focusing on.
