Your problem is not the problem. The problem of your problem is your mentality. Letting a problem get you anxious is the only problem of your problem. Once you are solution minded, your problems transform from problems to opportunities
The simplest way to grow is to challenge yourself. Leave your comfort zone, no matter how difficult it may be. Try something new. Make a fresh start. Don't stay stuck in old ways. Embrace positive change by taking small steps towards a greater version of yourself.”
NOBODY needs to know your next move. Absolutely NOBODY. Keep them guessing. Keep your move to yourself. Even Jesus said ONLY His Father knows the day this world will end. Not even Him or angels know. Learn from God. Keep your last card to yourself.
Teachers are the ladders you climbed on your rise to success. Now you are successful, remember the architects of your success. Even if it is phone credit, get it for them. You benefited from them on earth, why should their reward only be in heaven?
Little things we take for granted,
Little thanksgiving we save for later,
Little moments we fail to attend,
Collectively make-up life
Be present in life and in contentment enjoy the little things. ..
Dear Parents,
