STEP ON!!! October 16, 2014   #beencouraged In life things happen, a lot which we cant control whether good or bad,sweet or sour who stays or who goes, what stays and what doesn’t. As human beings we tend to focus mostly on the past things which bring the “i wish” or “what if”  so, our today becomes consumed by our yesterday and by the time we want to get back to our feet you find that the people you started with have already made it or are making it in life. Things happen by why let it define who you are? The past will always bring out who you were but will not give you a chance to better yourself  but the present will give you a chance to become better for tomorrow therefore refuse to be intimidated by situations that happened in your life,the disease you have been suffering from don’t let it define who you are or bring you down, the relationship you have been in, the kind of family you have grown up with,the neighborhood, the grade you got in school, where yo...

NOT AGAIN!!! October 22, 2014   #beencouraged A couple of years back I was down in pain, I was hurt, I felt my dreams were shuttered, I didn't think I would survive. I needed friends but my then friends left me cause they thought I was a bother & was looking for attention or sympathy or pity…. It was darkness all around me, I wept day in day out. I cried for help but none was coming to my aid. I whispered to myself “you are all alone be strong” and I decided to stand up, it was hard, my heart was heavy, my bones were worn out, my legs were shaking oh my I couldn’t stand but I tried as hard as I could each time I couldn’t. I fell each time I would try, I fumbled my way up, I staggered my dear but I managed to get up but I couldn’t move. I was so burdened by everything and a lot of question went through my head,WHY me?? WHO did I wrong?? WHAT did I do?? WHY am I even alive ETC but no one to answer but me. But I realized getting up was not all,  I needed to forget &...

WHAT IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES!!!??? November 5, 2014   #beencouraged Isn’t funny how we tend to postpone things to a Tomorrow that never arrives? We want to excel so badly but we never want to start working towards that which we want. We are related to a story in the bible of Pharaoh when he was asked by Moses when do you want me to pray for you for the frogs to go and he stupidly answered pray for me tomorrow (Exodus 8:8-10). It beats my logic how you would want something SO BAD, but you still wait till tomorrow? What if that tomorrow never comes? Will people look at your life and be proud of you? Or will they see a failure whom they won’t even waste time remembering for he/she gave nothing that can remembered? Will you be happy to look back and point out things you achieved or you will just be disappointed at yourself? If tomorrow never shows up will you have achieved even quarter of the big dreams you have, take a look at yourself now and examine yourself, what so fa...

DISCOVER YOUR GREATNESS & REMAIN FOCUSED  Everyone has been born with something but the journey won’t begin till you find out what it is and be focused on it till you achieve it. Having said all that, the journey to greatness is accompanied with lots of challenges but the most important thing is to remain focused. Let’s take a look at a story in the bible about David the son of Jesse yes the one who was a shepherd and later on became a king. His father sent him to bring food for his brother at the camp of the army where the Israelites’ and the philistine had drawn the battle line. When he got there he found Goliath the philistine giant making his usual threats to the Israelites and they would run away out of fear. David heard that a great reward was to be given for anyone who will defeat him. David went ahead to inquire from the people more about the reward promised but  his brother heard him asking & came to him and asked him to go back and attend to his ...

They say it is hard to move on after a heart breaking experiencing but what hurts even more and stings more than a bee is watching all your dreams fade in your eyes as you watch, ignoring the signs on the wall that it is time to move on and do something else or find someone else. Wallowing in self-pity or looking for sympathy helps no one. Yes you were hurt, you were betrayed, friends turned their backs on you & probably even more hurting instances you are going or went through, it is true and no one will ever refuse that, it is true that it hurts and pains you more than we can ever imagine, it is also true that no one can ever understand or know how it feels because it is you hurting, but, have you ever stopped and think about that person or persons that made you the way you are, giving up on yourself, are doing? Are they also wallowing or did they forge forward and decided to let bygone be bygones. While you are still there cursing and wishing others are living their dream...
