As a little child, I enjoyed sitting alone in a corner to daydream and imagine the future. It was and is still one of my favourite pastimes. While some may see it as having nothing else to do, it has actually helped me to where I am today. I achieved some of my dreams and I'm at the verge of achieving the rest. Even now I still dream and imagine the future and it actually helps me set certain guidelines for myself coz I do think if ordinary dreams could be wonderful as this then it would be more wonderful if I can work to make it a reality. This has always helped me in pushing through difficult situations. While this may not work for everybody, I think it's a good thing to dream. Not just mere dreams but spectacular dreams of how and what you want your future to look like. Dream about how wonderful it would be to be among the successful few in life, dream about how you will be a blessing to your generation. People might discourage you to think that your dreams are too big and...

Almost everyone is searching for that “one thing.” The one secret that will lead to success . The one trick or hack that will lead to riches and wealth. But there has never and will never  be a secret. There has never been 1 single successful person on earth, that applied only one principle to gain success… that incorporated just one trick that lead to sustained success. It just doesn’t work like that. If you want one principle, here it is: the desire to find a way to make it happen no matter what. Because if you really have the desire to find a way, you won’t be looking for one thing. You won’t be looking for a trick, You’ll just be ready and willing to do whatever it takes to reach your goal. When you really have the desire, you’ll be willing to learn whatever you need to learn to get there. You’ll be willing to work however many hours you need to work to get there. You’ll be willing to keep going when y...

When bad things happen; we feel hurt, sad and disappointed. It feels as though the world is against us. We recoil into our shell and fail to see the good in that situation. Within every bad thing, there's good and vice versa even though it might be difficult to understand it at that moment. In life, there's always balance- life and death, love and hate, good and bad, win and lose, beautiful and ugly, happiness and sadness. It all depends on what we want to feel and see. To see the good in every bad, we have to be open-minded. Bad situations may hurt us but they sometimes make us stronger and plunge us into things we never thought we had the ability to do. It helps us build  and develop our initiative. Nobody wishes for bad situations but when they happen, be open to it and try to see the good in it. Shalom!!! Lizinspiration©

As humans, we often tend to copy other people's lifestyle coz we think they are better than we are. We feel less of ourselves thereby putting our real identity to the backyard. What we fail to understand is that, these people we think are better than us actually admire us secretly, they want to be like us, to live our lifestyles. But we don't understand this and so we end up being a photocopy of others rather than being original. This attitude boils down to the confidence we have in ourselves, our level of self-esteem. You can't have a low self-esteem and expect people to think highly of you. Think highly of yourself and others will. Put mediocrity and low self-esteem where they belong- out of your life. Why would you copy others when God created you uniquely, there is no other you. You alone can achieve the purpose God created you for. Once you started living other people's life, you won't be able to fulfill this purpose. The world desperately needs the origina...

In case you've forgotten who you are or you have people who are trying to put you down, let me remind you. You are amazing, You are God's image, You are wonderfully and fearfully made, You are an eternal excellency, You are a joy of many generations, You are unique, You're not a mistake, You are the light of the world, You are the salt of the earth, You are God's special person, a chosen generation, You're greatly loved, You are a treasured possession, You're an apple of God's eye, You are valuable, You're a representation of God on earth, You're seated in heavenly places with Christ, You're God's workmanship created to produce good works, God loves you and has chosen you... Beloved, you're all these and more Never let anyone put you down or make you feel less... You're who God says you are, what others think about you doesn't matter. Never for once forget who you are.

I once heard someone say, ' I used to find it weird asking people for things, including God; it makes me feel as if I'm being too needy and clingy'. Well, I find it weird that there's someone like this, even if you don't like asking, it isn't to the extent of not asking your creator. He can't find you needy or clingy coz He created you, He knows exactly what you need but you have to ask Him. His word says: "... you that make mention of the Lord , keep not silent ... and give him no rest till he establish you ..." He says that you should bother him, give him no rest, don't keep mute, keep reminding him of what you want Him to do in your life. Never for once think that God won't answer you, He will, He always does. I'm certain of this coz His word says:" before they call , I'll answer and while they are yet speaking , I'll hear " . That's enough assurance that God hears your every cry, ...

You're alive today not because you are worthy, righteous or mighty but because the giver of life gave you the privilege to live yet another day among the living. It's not that you're holy than the dead, they also had this day planned but they weren't given the privilege. Since you are alive today, why not make the utmost use of it. Stop grumbling and complaining about how you wish your life is when you haven't even utilize the privilege of life given to you. You might not be where you wish to be yet but that doesn't mean you shouldn't be grateful to the giver of life. Be grateful even when it is hard, Appreciate life even when friends desert you and helpers fail you, Be grateful even when you can't eat what you feel like eating, Be grateful for the gift of life, Appreciate the giver of life, Make the utmost use of life... Shalom!!! Lizinspiration©

Sometimes, we find ourselves surrounded by people who find joy in hurting others. They try all their best to pull you down and not to make you see anything good in yourself. And once they see that they aren't getting through to you, they try harder. Some of these people might be very close to you or those you have utmost trust in. Imagine meeting your so-called best friend in a gathering of people gossiping about you, you'd feel hurt and disappointed. But it's not the end of the world, I mean you shouldn't let what people say get to you. It might touch you but don't let it make you coz they don't know you. We have all had someone say something that does not reflect who we truly are, but sometimes we give it so much power that we allow it to define us. Because we are human, it is not always easy to instantly deflect how certain words make us feel, but we can search within ourselves to recognize when they become detrimental to who we are and how we live our ...

Billions of people fail to live the life they have always wished to live. They fail to realize their ambitions and give up on their big dreams as soon as they encounter the first obstacle. One of the strongest causes of this attitude is that they do not believe in themselves. At times, it can be hard for you to believe in yourself, especially if you have developed negative feelings; like you have nothing to offer or are unworthy of things, only until you realize that the contrary can be true. You feel like you can achieve nothing good; that's not true, you just have to start believing in yourself coz you're worth much more than you think. If you don't believe in yourself, no one else can. If you have trouble introspecting and seeing all the amazing things you possess and all the beautiful things you could offer to make this world a better place, there are simple things that you can do to start believing in yourself: ¶you can take stock of all the things you have already...

An important part of never giving up is to make right choices while you're hurting, discouraged, frustrated, confused or under pressure. The right choice is often the harder choice. And when you're in the middle of terrible stress, you naturally want to take the path of least resistance; but those are exactly the moments when you need to discipline yourself to make the tougher choice. In order to reap the 'right' results in life, you have to do right when you don't feel like it. I call this "pressing in and pressing on" and knowing how to do it is one of the most important components of becoming a person who never gives up . Progress has a price and becoming a person who never gives up will cost you. You'll never get where you want to being life without being willing to sacrifice and push through the obstacles and adversities that stand in your way. Your obstacle may be an attitude, a past relationship, a thought or mindset, a feeling or bad habits, ...

Tears streamed down her face as she read the mail again for the umpteenth time. "Dear Miss Rita, we are sorry to inform you that you are not qualified for the job. You have the best result but no skill to show for it. Hence, we'll be forced to choose someone with a lower result and better technical skills" Her hopes of being employed with this engineering company was gone again. She was the overall best graduating student in her set but she had no technical skills like her mates. She wasn't prepared for the opportunity. Many of us are like Rita, we waste time on frivolities rather than develop ourselves in ways that will benefit us later. Opportunities pave way for success but when we are not prepared for the task ahead, there's no way we can succeed. Nobody likes to be associated with a mediocre, develop yourself so as not to look like one when opportunities present themselves to you. You can't say you studied education at school and not have any teachin...

As you continue becoming to be determined and to not give up, you must understand how to enhance new things. Many times we say we want something new and then when new things come, they frighten us. New opportunities and experiences can be daunting but they don't have to be, you just have to work on yourself and improve your skills.  If you insist upon clinging to old methods, old ideas, old relationships or old mind sets and refuse to accept or embrace the new, you aren't going to progress in your life. You need to get out of the box and think wide coz if you keep limiting yourself, you will never be able to try something new and not trying new things can make certain opportunities bypass you. You don't have to be a pro at something before you can do it, just try. Yes, you would make mistakes but that's what makes you perfect at the long run. Work on that idea, try that new stuff; it might just be the stepping stone you need to your success... Try something new to...
