MAKE A DIFFERENT...

Don't give up.

Never give up.

Life can so hard, unfair an unpredictable most of the time. Its very hard to tell what will happen in the next moment or in the future. There is absolutely nobody who can correctly and precisely predict what will happen into our lives in the near future. Believe it or not when I'm saying we are indeed living in a weird world. Someone who is educated can tell you that we are living in a scientific world where we are experiencing changes frequently. When the changes happen religious people will tell you that it is the will of God while the politicians are fighting for power and positions, they often don't care who might get hurt and caught in the middle of their fights. I often think that because the earth its moving and we are living on it, so even our lives have to move on and the only problem is that today my personal life may seem to move in the right direction only to find that the next day it might be a different story all together. And it's seldom feels good when we don't know or can't guess what will happen next and all we need to do is to keep on believing that everything will be alright. All of us in the entire world today we have got one thing in common, regardless of race, religion and country of origin. There is something very important that we were all taught from an early age and we strongly believed that is good and true. And that thing is we are all going to have a bright future.

We begun to plan and prepare for our own future at an early age. Even if we were not sure about having a bright future but at least most of us if not all of us we hoped that one day our future will look good and bright. I can bet that there is no normal child in the whole world who said I'm nothing and I won't be anything or go anywhere in life. No woman who has ever lost hope in her child since day one and that's why she carried that child nine months in her womb. She could have chosen to abort the pregnancy but for the fact that she chose to keep you in her womb for the whole nine months means she hoped for to see the best in you.
Hopes and dreams.

I strongly believe that every child was born with gifts and talents. We may be unique but the fact of the matter is we are all human beings and there is no one better than the other. Everyone of us was born pregnant with ideas and creativity, we are full with potential. What is good and significant is that most of us know these but what I'm not sure about is that do we fully understand how capable are we in terms of our potentials. But that's not an issue,what is important is that we all have small and big dreams . Most us hope for the best that's the reason why we started planning and preparing for our future from early age by getting education and we even got to the extent of seeing our future with a spiritual eye. In all these there is nobody who had planned and prepared for failure or had another plan in place just in case they fail. And the fact is, not all of us succeed in all our plans and live happily ever after, very few people become successful in the end.

Now the question is what happens when the going gets tough and we feel that we won't manage to achieve our goals and fulfill our dreams. Everything we try to do doesn't seem to fall into place and all hell break loose. Our family don't believe in us anymore, and our friends turn their back on us . Do we give up on our dreams and ultimately give up on everything we have worked hard for.


The answer is absolutely no, don't give up on your dreams or on yourself either. The most important thing you need to know and understand is that it's your dreams and before you could begin to chase them nobody said it would be easy. Revisit and review your dreams often, bear in mind that in every negative thing there is a positive side, you need to look at the positive side. In the end of every road there is a beginning of a new one and at the end of everything the other new thing begins. All you need to do is calm down and find out what has been working and what not in the process of making your dreams become a reality. Difficult times.
The moment you feel that you are exhausted and your goals are not achievable and you are not going to fulfill your dreams, you have tried everything in the book and still nothing seems to be working for you. Don't be confused, just relax and calm down its not the end of your dreams. Life may be hard but never give up that's not an option. Our mothers carried us for nine months in their wombs,even though some days they felt sick and exhausted but they never gave up and terminated the pregnancy. They may be and still there will be hard times in life, but never give up if you can't fulfill your dreams nobody will do it for you . You got to be strong and understand that it won't be easy but stand and walk tall at all times. Never give up or forsake your dreams.

Moving forward.
How do you move on after the difficulties and disappointments.
You are the master of your own destiny, take a deep breath and tell yourself that its not over until God says its over. Look at all the mistakes you have made, all the wrong turns you have taken in your life, take all the lessons you have learned and all those personal experiences and put them together. Use all these as the ingredients that you are going to use to fulfill your dreams. You are better and strong now open a new chapter in your life don't look back or ever doubt yourself. The fact of the matter is every day before sunshine there has to be darkness first. Many successful people in the world have failed many times before success. If the former president of South Africa Dr Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela could survive 27 years in jail and came out strong and triumphantly, I'm sure you could be encouraged by his story that its not over until God says its over. Every human being has been given strength and wisdom to handle and survive anything.

And I'm sure you can manage spend 3 to 4 years studying that degree and again you can be able to spend another 6 to 8 years trying to build that business. At the end it's your dream whether you fail or succeed it doesn't matter. What matters is at least you have tried and if you make it your family will be very happy for you and most importantly you will be very proud of your achievements and successes. So never give up on your dreams nor on yourself.
