Prove them wrong!

Has anyone ever told you something is impossible for you? Has anyone ever concluded you don’t have the capacity to achieve something? Don’t you think you should prove them wrong? Or do you believe what they said? A man once revealed that the greatest motivation of his life came from people who told him he couldn’t do certain things. The moment they told him he couldn’t do such things, he became determined to prove them wrong. Have you ever been told by anyone at any time that you can’t make a success of your career? Have you been told you can’t be a good musician, writer, speaker, scholar, athlete, scientist or any other thing you have ever thought of doing? Why can’t you prove them wrong? Your keeping quiet and conceding defeat only prove that their conclusion about you is correct. But consider this thought-provoking insight from Marriane Williamson: “Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is ...

QUOTES ON HUMILITY

1. “A great man is always willing to be little” – Ralph Waldo Emerson 2. “True humility is not thinking less of yourself; it is thinking of yourself less” – C.S. Lewis 3. “It is unwise to be too sure of one’s own wisdom. It is healthy to be reminded that the strongest might weaken and the wisest might err” – Mahatma Ghandi 4. “On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom” – Michel de Montaigne 5. “As long as you are proud, you cannot know God.

Lewis 6. “A true genius admits that he/she knows nothing” – Albert Einstein 7. “Life is a long lesson in humility” – J....

Challenge Your Fears!

What on earth is stopping you from trying out the new ideas on your mind? Is it that you are afraid of making mistakes? You don’t want to lose your money? Or are you afraid of being criticized or ridiculed? Believe it, no new thing has ever been discovered by people who sit in their safe zones, doing things the same old ways they’ve always done them. You look at your present condition and you are not satisfied – you want a better life – but your fears wouldn’t allow you to come out of your safe zone to chase after what you really want. Why can’t you challenge your fears? You can’t continue to do things the same old way you’ve always done them and expect a new result (either good or bad). Bear this in mind: unprecedented accomplishments belong only to the people who can confront their fears and give a new idea a chance. If you are going to achieve something worthwhile in life, you’ve got to confront your fears; give a new idea a chance and hope for a positive result. The fact...

Keep Moving!

"The bicycle theory states that, the moment you stop to pedal, then you begin to fall”, says a preacher. Have you achieved some successes in life and you assume you’ve arrived? Do you think the height you have attained is the highest you can ever attain? Don’t you think things can get better than what they are now? Thomas Edison said, “Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.” Bear this in mind: you are the only one that can set a limit to your success in life. And don’t forget that what you are celebrating as success today is the starting point for some great achievers. The truth is this: “Small things excite small minds.” Why can’t you begin to think big? Why can’t you begin to desire greater heights? Look around. You would realize that the people with common and average achievements are in the majority. Someone aptly captured it this way: “It’s never crowded along the extra miles.” It’s common knowledge that the majority of people (with commo...

Don’t Quit!

Are you thinking of giving up on something worthwhile you are doing? Why should you give up? Is it because you don’t have a sponsor? You think you don’t have someone to encourage you? Is it because your marriage isn’t working at the moment? Are you saying you don’t have the mental capacity to continue with that course you are studying? Or are you trying to say people are speaking ill of you while you are a pursuing a dream you strongly believe in and you want to quit? No, you can’t give up! You can’t call it a quit! Consider the efforts you have invested into the endeavour so far. If you quit now, it means all your efforts for the past days, weeks, months or even years will go down the drain. No, you can’ afford that! Do you know you are a source of motivation to someone you probably don’t know? If you give up now, what message are you sending to such unknown secret disciple? He’s watching you and if you quit, you’ve sent a negative message to him. Believe it, you aren’t the fi...

Winners Win, Losers Lose!

Lou Hotz once said, “You were not born a winner and you were not born a loser. You are what you make yourself to be.” What are you making yourself to be? A loser or a winner? Why is it that you are always pessimistic about everything around you? Why is it that you always see impossibilities in everything? The truth is this: God has planted the seed of possibilities in everyone. Every one of us has been endowed with the capacity to make things happen. The onus is now on us to be optimistic and learn to see possibilities all around us. Believe it, if you think you can, you can and if you think you can’t, you can’t! Why can’t you begin to think aright? Why can’t you begin to see possibilities all around you? The fact that the next person to you does something and he fails does not necessarily mean you would also fail. After all, you are different from him. Change your mindset and begin to see possibilities all around you. The fact that you fail while making an attempt does not ...
