Patience

The capacity to accept or tolerate delays, problems or suffering without becoming frustrated or anxious. The key words here being accept and tolerate. Life is full of challenges and obstacles that are bound to delay us in our journey to where we want to go. What we must remember is that a delay is temporary not permanent. A delay is an opportunity to re-evaluate ourselves and analyse where we are and what we still require to get to our intended destination. There are places you are destined to go, dreams with your names on it and areas in the atmosphere that you have been called to go and receive but the only way you can receive it is by displaying patience. Patience is a virtue that we must accept, understand and master so that we do not become disheartened when things do not go the way we had planned. Instead let us be sure that the plan that God has for us is bigger than any plan we may have for ourselves. As he told us in the word that he has a plan to prosper us. To give us a future and hope. You may feel as if you are doing everything in your power to make a difference and to take you closer to your hearts desire and because of this you start to think that it’s not working because you can’t see any changes. Blessed are those who believe although they have not seen. Romans 8:25 reads “But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience”. The dreams that you can’t go a day without thinking about can become your reality because you have already been highly favoured but do not turn around at the point of your breakthrough because you lack patience. Tolerating hardship and affliction can only prepare you to be able to handle the magnitude of the blessings that will locate you through supplication and faith.

There is nothing in this life worth having that will come easy. We have to be built into a special character that can withstand the test of time to endure affliction and surely be ready for the promise that has our name on it. We can’t wake up with patience. It doesn’t work like that. When asking for patience we will be given opportunities to show how patient we can be. This may come through frustrating work colleagues, sitting in traffic, setbacks in businesses & pure difficulty in day to day life. But this does not mean that we have been forsaken. It simply means that as we display the gift of patience and the spirit of faith, our story is bound to change as long as you truly believe. Faith the same size as a mustard seed is all that you need for wonders to take place in your life. Seed, patience, harvest. Through planting the seeds of faith in our life we allow our roots to be uplifted and grow into our special harvest. As the seed grows from the very beginning, it is only you that knows the work that is taking place below the surface. People can only see what you show them above the surface. Take pride in your patience and know that you will flourish once your faith has been tested and your endurance is fully developed leading you to be perfect in understanding needing nothing. You are PLANTED not BURIED. Under does not mean it’s over. As pressure creates diamonds. Change your hearts perspective and do not quit. Do not feel entitled but be diligent in your efforts for your purity will not go unnoticed.

No matter what your talent may be, if it is not time for you to have your breakthrough it is simply not your time. As hard as that may be to process, we cannot see what God has in line for us but we can be sure that it will most definitely give us peace of heart and peace of mind. Are you willing to wait on the promise of God or are you after instant gratification that cannot be sustained ? Your impulsiveness to experience short term pleasure and satisfaction right now as opposed to a promise that could last a lifetime is what will ultimately create a longer delay. God has a strategy to give you what is yours. When you try to create your own solution you will only sabotage the blessing that already has your title on it. There is someone reading this that has been working non stop towards a promise that they desire with every fibre of their body. I’m telling you that the only thing you require for your promise to become your reality is PATIENCE. The only thing you need to receive your hearts desire is PATIENCE. You do not want to get to a place in life where your character can not maintain what it is you thought you were ready for. Are you willing to pay the price of time for your dreams ? Patience is free. All you have to do is practice. The manner in which you wait will ultimately determine how long you wait. Positivity and confidence in waiting will lead to your glory as you know you are waiting for the promise that can not be compared to a man made blessing as it has been ordained by the Almighty.

Exodus 14:14 reads “The Lord will fight for you, and you have only to be silent”. Many of us are fighting battles that are not our battle to fight. God is in control at all times. Never forget. As we humble ourselves we will surely be exalted. Mastering faith and patience is a process. It will not come overnight. It will require practice and time. Let us find joy in the process as we wait confidently knowing that we will be satisfied in the end. God will provide. The business that will provide for your children’s children. The job that will give you peace. The career that will display your talents to the world. The family that your heart has been craving. He will do exceedingly and abundantly more than you can imagine. Do you trust him ? Are you willing to wait ? In everything we do may the Lord go before us and may we never lack in wisdom, knowledge and understanding. Through this strange period of time that we are currently in may our loved ones be kept safe and may God continue to guide every single one of us. It’s not by luck or coincidence that you are here today but simply by his grace. Use the time wisely to plan your next steps for whenever peace is restored. Trust the process. You won’t regret it

Stay Safe

Power

The ability or capacity to do something or act in a particular way. Being able to take the initiative to direct or influence the behaviour of others or the course of events. Power is a feeling that I’m sure most individuals desire to have in their lives. Whether we realise it or not each and every single one of us already possesses extreme power. The power and strength to become whatever we want. The power to overcome any challenge that we face. The power and freedom of speech. All of these things already belong to us but it takes the realisation of this for us to act on it and take advantage of what we have. Believing in yourself when no one else does is the power and mentality that is required to go and achieve every dream that you’ve ever had. It takes strength and character to pursue and persist with something when life seems as though everything is against you. Your mind is the most powerful weapon you could ever have when it is used correctly. Let us seek and acquire the tools to elevate our minds in every way possible as knowledge is power and through the understanding of the principles of life we are able to set ourselves free. Free from every limitation, every barrier and everything that tries to hinder us from our destinies. Take control over your situation. Do not despise your “here” because you’re too worried of how life would be if you were over “there”. The current situation you find yourself in is not by mistake no matter how difficult it may be. All periods of hardship that we go through were ordained before we came to life so embrace everything that you go through as these experiences are in place to give you the POWER needed for your next level of breakthrough.

Your power is the mere fact that you are you and no one else can replace you. There is no one like you. Your individuality is what separates you from everyone else and is the main reason why we shouldn’t compare ourselves. We all have our own race to run and every lane has been created specifically so that each and every single one of us can succeed without negatively affecting each other. I believe that I am worthy and deserving of all the good things that my heart desires and I am most powerful when I truly believe in the ability that I possess as we all have a purpose and a talent. I pray that God reveals our purpose to us sooner rather than later so we can continue to move forward and be courageous in every thing that we do. Each and every single day that we wake up and live our lives we are walking in power as it is not by luck or coincidence but simply by his grace. You have been kept safely for a reason and not by mistake. Believe in your power and continue to learn day by day as our strength comes from the ability to constantly grow in wisdom and in understanding. May wisdom and understanding in all aspects of life be our portion.

1 Corinthians 2:5 reads “So that your faith might not rest on human wisdom, but on God’s power”. The power of the most high God is beyond explanation and way beyond the capacity of human understanding. To the point that we cannot afford to rely on the knowledge of man. There are no words to describe the power of the Lord that guides us on a daily basis. This same power that the Lord wants us to use to our advantage to take dominion over our current situation and break free from all bondage and limitations that may be holding us back from our next level. The drive and willpower that is necessary to achieve some of the goals that we have set for ourselves can not be given unto us by any individual. It has to come from within. There is no substitute for hard work or determination. How can we expect results without putting in the amount of graft that these particular results require ? Mental willpower to be able to continue to strive towards greatness even when we are low on motivation is a clear indication of the strength and power that is needed to battle against life’s greatest tasks. You will never go through something you are not capable of overcoming. As everyone can fight. But not everyone can win. It’s your winners season from this point onwards. Believe it. Embrace it. Own it.

Power begins from the mind. Everything you think about is what controls your emotions and in turn this is what controls your life. Take ownership and let your mind direct you to the attainment of pure success whilst experiencing life on a new level. Master your mind so you can master everything around you in a positive manner. The powerful force of your mind can either imprison you or better yet empower you. Choose one. Our life is the creation of our minds. I know the life I want to create. Don’t hold back when creating yours.

Thank You For Your Time

New Beginnings

2020 the year of Clarity & Testimonies. It’s a pleasure to be releasing my first blog post of this decade let alone the year ! May God continue to take control of everything we set our hearts on and may he allow our ideas and ventures to flourish beyond our imagination. Let us not forget that the plans we have for ourself are minuscule compared to what the Lord has in store for us. So imagine how great the life that has been planned for you could be. All it takes is faith the same size as a mustard seed to be sown into your heart and you will reap the rewards of your labour. When the storm of pain, rejection, fear, lies & sadness has passed we shall not crumble or be washed away. Our faith and spiritual belief shall be built upon the rocks where we cannot be moved but only strengthened by his grace. In this new chapter of our lives I’m encouraging each and every single person that reads this to go forth and create the new beginning that they’ve been dreaming about. Whether that is something small or big, the more you think about it, it becomes apparent that this is something your spirit is leaning towards. It’s only self doubt that stops us from taking that first step. The first step is always the hardest. Let’s try to live in the present and allow our daily work ethic to determine what is to come from the future. If we do something on a daily basis our future selves will thank us for putting us in a position to excel. Hold onto the thing you can’t stop thinking about it and let your dreams set you free. What’s a life in fear when we can live a life in pure faith ? Never stop hoping. For pain must come to an end. 

Everything in this life has an appointed time. Where you are right now is exactly where you are supposed to be. Whether you’re going through a period of obscurity and setbacks, keep believing that things will take a turn for the better no matter how hard this may be. Without our belief and hope what do we actually have. I’m sure the majority of you reading this are praying and hoping for a new beginning. A new miraculous chapter in your life but it is possible that we may be working for something that may not happen if it is not our purpose in life. All we can do is stay strong mentally and give everything that we have so that we have no regrets. Take pride in your hard work and allow yourself to never be distracted. Surround yourself with those who also want to work hard to be the difference they want to see in their lives. Even on the hardest of days we have to keep striving towards greatness. We have to be able to work hard even on the days when our motivation levels are low. This is how a winners mentality evolves as you are capable of pushing yourself even when things are difficult. Everyone can win and everyone is capable of achieving all that they desire. There is space for everyone to win. In this new beginning of 2020 go forth and be the one to change your story. Let your faith set you free. 

Isaiah 40:31 reads “But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles, they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint”. Through hope alone we can truly change our stories. As I’ve said previously hope is the fuel of faith. And with this very same hope God can change your story at anytime even when you least expect it. As long as we continue to believe in his awesome power as his love and superiority can not be compared to any other. The Eagle is capable of soaring higher than any other bird of its kind as it is a mighty bird that leads by example. As it flies in solitude it represents how we should always be fearless and move forward as a leader above all those who do not want to follow your journey trusting that God will do what he said will do. As you run towards towards your destiny you will not be stopped. Your fire and desire for success will never stop burning. No one ever said that the pathway towards our hearts desire would be a smooth journey. In fact it’s even more likely that the road will be full of bumps that try to sway you and force you to turn around at the point of breakthrough. The new beginning that is about to locate you will allow you to overcome every bump that tries to slow you down. In this life let us highlight the fact that you can’t stop an individual who refuses to be beaten. For every time we get knocked down we shall rise up once more and surprise those who refused to believe. As we keep breaking through all barriers may happiness and peace be our portion. 

May the year 2020 be a year filled with miracles, testimonies, success and unlimited achievements for all of us. Who God bless no man can curse. Stay positive at all times as there is light at the end of every tunnel. Supernatural favour and blessings in abundance shall locate us by his grace. Grateful for all your support and I pray that the words you’ve read today have a positive impact on your life. The further back you get pulled the higher you will fly. As pressure creates diamond. 2020 Vision

Reflection

What a year 2019 has been. I thank God for the opportunity to express myself on this platform and for each and every single person that has read even just one of my blogs I am more than grateful. What are you grateful for ? What did you learn in the year 2019 ? Many of us have overcome trials and tribulations of the highest difficulty and that is more than enough reason to celebrate. It’s not by chance that you’re still here today but simply by the mercy and grace of the most high God. Many people started the year and unfortunately will not be crossing over into 2020. God rest their souls. Let us show how grateful we are for life in our day to day activities. Everyday that you wake up is a sign from God that his plan for your life is still in action. Seize the day and use the opportunity to make a difference in the life of yourself and of those around you. The world is a cycle of energy. What goes around will always come back around. The positive energy you give out to the world will surely make its way back to you and allow your blessings and testimonies to be unlocked simply by a pure spirit of giving. We shouldn’t give to receive but simply give out of the kindness of your heart. The joy that you spread will be returned to you in abundance whether that be spiritually, financially or physically it will never be in vain !

Everyone wants to be successful. Of course we do. Who doesn’t ? One thing I’ve come to notice that has been highlighted to me over the course of these past 12 months is that we actually learn more from our failures than our successes. By doing something wrong we are left with two options to move on from it. We can either complain and stay in denial over the way things turned out which will do us no good. Or better yet we can use the failure as a chance to reevaluate ourselves and discover what we could do to change the outcome of whatever went wrong. By doing this we are constantly learning and are putting ourselves in a better position to be elevated as we humble ourselves and gather knowledge from each and every experience that we go through. Romans 12:2 reads “Do not conform to the patterns of the world but be transformed by the renewing of your mind”. A powerful verse paying attention to how we shouldn’t limit ourselves by trying to fit in with the World and the habits of many people. Instead constantly challenging your mind and refreshing yourself with new ideas and new concepts to live the most peaceful life possible which will allow you to stand out amongst the average and reap the rewards of your labour. We all have a purpose. In the next chapter of our lives I really do hope that if you haven’t found your purpose yet, it is made clear to you as soon as possible for you to go forth and work on it. Where there is greatness there will always be obstacles. There will be attacks from left right and centre. Take it as a compliment. Those that are blessed are the most challenged. Your testimony and breakthrough is near. Every situation that we go through has all been divinely ordained by God. It is not to make you fall but it is to make you stronger. As you overcome all barriers of affliction and adversity the Lord will sustain you.

Everything that God does is with a purpose. Not by accident nor luck nor coincidence. Simply by his grace to give us the life that he has set before us. Our talents are a gift from God in order to make a way for us. May greatness begin to speak for you and history will not forget you. Legacies will be created and your name will live forever more. As long as you believe. Walking in faith and not by sight. Forever and always. There is a divine connection between greatness and process. Greatness takes time. Greatness can not come to light immediately. If there is immediate greatness there must be something wrong. Without patience nothing can be achieved. Every single one of us must respect and trust the process. Let us be slow to speak regarding others as we do not know the process that every individual has gone through to get to where they are today. We cannot speak on the experience of something that we have not experienced ourselves. Pure intentions and a positive attitude in everything we do will lead to the security of our greatness. We shall reap the rewards of our labour by his grace. Be strong, courageous and brave in everything that you do. There is nothing that you can not achieve. NEVER limit yourself and never limit God. There is nothing too challenging for him. Take the time to understand yourself. Evaluate and highlight your strengths and weaknesses and give your all to become better in every aspect of your life. Dream big and aim for the sky. Start speaking your destiny into existence. For there is life and death in the tongue. Speak with your chest when you declare and prophesies the things you want to achieve. Remove the words “maybe” and “hopefully” from your vocabulary and use the terms “will” and “can”. For all things are possible through Christ who strengthens us.

As the decade comes to an end it’s important we start to manifest the things we want to come to pass in the next decade. Whether that’s new houses, new cars, new jobs, etc… whatever you want to see in this decade. Speak on it. Claim it each and every single day. Work hard with every fibre inside you to allow those dreams to come to pass. Every successful person in the world was a dreamer like you and I at one point. The only thing in between the person you are today and the person you will be in 10 years time is the work rate that you put in during that time frame. Worry about yourself as there is no traffic in your own lane. The past is history, the future is a mystery and the present is a gift. Embrace this present moment and accept that everything is exactly the way it should be in line with the Universe and God’s perfect timing. Your desires will blossom into reality at the appointed time. I’ll say it again that comparison is the thief of joy and we are actually taking away from ourselves when we are filled with envy and jealousy regarding someone else’s journey. Every journey is specific to the individual so become self absorbed and captivated by your own journey that you will not look at anyone else for the answers as everything you need to prosper is already within you. You just have to let it come to light. Blessings will overflow in the year 2020. In this generation of mediocrity I refuse to settle for less and be seen as average. What about you ? Write down your goals and keep it safe. Pray towards them daily. Stories are changing and records are being broken in this next decade. May your destiny be unlocked. Amen

I never saw myself starting a blog in 2019 but God works in mysterious ways. I appreciate each and every single person that has taken the time to support and read my work as well as joining me on this journey. Every city & country that my work has reached I’m beyond grateful. From the bottom of my heart it means a lot to me. 2020 there will be even better content and many new ideas being brought to you ! 2020 vision as this is the year of clarity and breakthrough.

For The Last Time This Year

  Thank You For Your Time

Crazy Faith

Sorry to those who regularly engage with my blog posts for the lack of regular content. I’m trying to make sure these posts are more consistent in the near future but it’s today’s topic that has led me back here today to release another piece for the people. Hope you like it !

What is faith ? Complete trust in someone or something. The key word here being complete. Not half hearted trust but complete trust with all thine heart. In my opinion faith is truly believing although you have not seen. Full belief in something you cannot explicitly prove but you know full well that it will come to pass. The power of faith is unmatched. Without faith what do we have ? It is my belief that there is light at the end of every tunnel that keeps me going each and every single day because I know that my story will change. I also know that God would not put me in a situation if I was not capable of overcoming what has been placed in front of me. Whatever situation you may be going through is simply a test to determine whether you really want the life you claim to desire. Be strong. Be courageous. Let’s walk in faith and not by sight. Let everything you do be done with faith. Ignore the negativity and the hatred that comes from the world but simply focus on yourself and your journey and all good things will be added unto you. Supernatural favour will be your portion and uncommon testimonies will locate you. As long as we trust and believe in the higher power of the most high God above us.

As a generation we may be too eager at times to receive everything we desire without actually identifying if we are ready to handle the magnitude of what we are asking for. There may be areas in our life where we must correct our faith to receive the power and blessings of the almighty God. I know for example I have strong faith in some areas and in other areas the level of faith may not be equal. This is something for me to work on and anyone else who can relate to this. Many of us are waiting on God when God is waiting on us. Laziness is what kills faith as we are delaying our own prosperity. Eager for our business to prosper but too lazy to budget ! Are you going to allow your preference or your personality to control your destiny ? When you could be gifted to go and change your life in a way you couldn’t fathom or simply affect the lives of others in many different positive ways but instead you’re too worried about what others may think of you or what they’re gonna say about you. Let go and let God take full control. Embrace the process and let go of LAZY ! Don’t let your purpose go to waste. Let your purpose be used to change your life and the lives of others.

There is nothing too small for God. No matter how small you may think your problem is there is nothing that the Lord won’t do. There is nothing too challenging for God. Have faith that the Lord will do exactly what he said he will do as you can place all your burdens and all your worries upon him for he cares for you. Cast your fears, your addictions and your troubles upon him and he will change your story. We are capable of so much more than we think but for us to see this we need to have CRAZY FAITH. When we are being lazy with our faith we allow ourselves to think that an attempt is adequate. Not knowing that maybe God is testing your faith. For the obstacle in front of you may simply be an opportunity to elevate you into a new level of strength and resilience. Some of us have stopped cos we tried once and it did not work. One attempt is not enough when we know the promise is on the other side. If you could see all your blessings and dreams on the other side of the door, some of us would do everything in our power to break down the door. Believe in the Lord at all times. CRAZY FAITH ! For you know that when your faith is being tested your endurance has a chance to grow. I won’t quit pursuing all of my dreams and aspirations and neither should you. Laziness won’t break down doors ! Laziness won’t break records ! Laziness won’t make history ! Let us revaluate our why and remember why we do what we do. For our WHY has to be strong enough to help us persevere through tough times.

James 1:2-3 reads “Consider it pure joy whenever you face trials of many kinds as the testing of your faith produces perseverance”. CRAZY FAITH thrives in the presence of adversity as it is an opportunity to break down the wall in front of us and conquer every battle that tries to hold us back from our destiny. As long as you believe your faith will help you figure it out. Do not quit with ease and never settle until you get to your place of breakthrough. Do not expect to be rewarded for the bare minimum of hard work. Give it everything you have and nothing less. Whatever you’ve stopped hoping for let your hope come back. For hope is the fuel for faith. Never stop hoping. For the dream house, dream car or dream job. Keep manifesting it into your life mentally before it becomes your reality. All is well. Hold on tight to your faith !

Thank you for your time.

Kenzo.

Peace

Freedom from all types of disturbances. Being able to think clearly without any burdens or feelings of heaviness on your shoulders. Peace of mind and peace of heart is vital in order for us to get to our next level. Being at peace with the world and most importantly being at peace with yourself is the only way for you to enter the next phase of your glory. A lot of us are at war with ourselves mentally and are constantly fighting others. As a generation we tend to pay attention to the things that do not serve any purpose or make us better in any way shape or form. Let us steer clear from the irrelevant distractions and instead focus purely on being the best version of ourselves. Learning to love yourself internally before trying to love anything or anyone else. Accepting yourself for who you are including all of your flaws and imperfections. All of the things that make you imperfectly perfect. Whatever you give power to will ultimately have power over you. Take your power back and find peace within. 1 Peter 5:7 reads “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you”. The battle that you are facing is not yours to fight. It is not your battle ! Every form of fear and anxiety is to be handled by the Creator whilst you live your life peacefully knowing that his will be done. As I constantly say, faith over fear always.

It’s important for us as a generation to find internal peace to allow us to be free to give our best. When you have nothing to worry about and are purely focused and driven to be better than yesterday, it is only a matter of time before everything you’ve been working towards falls into place. Why should we be worried about anyone or anything that has nothing to do with us. Your journey is for you to embrace and enjoy, not to compare with someone else’s. What good will that do for you ? You might see someone doing well on Instagram or Twitter and wish it was you in their shoes. That’s when we need to remember that not a single person in this life will follow the same route towards their glory alongside the fact that whatever is meant to be for you will not pass you by. Let go of any bitterness or envy you have towards anyone as you are simply wasting your energy on something that is unworthy. Being negative all the time is draining so instead let us be positive and uplift ourselves and those around us so we can grow as one towards greatness.

Anything that I’ve ever worried about that has led me to feelings of doubt and confusion has always worked out in my favour. Each and every single time. Not by luck nor coincidence but simply by his grace. When these things would work out the way I wanted them to I always asked myself why were you worried in the first place ? I found peace and comfort in the mere fact that if something was meant for me, nothing would be able to stop fate. Matthew 11:28 reads “Come to me all who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest”. If we claim to have faith then why should we ever be worried. Everything happens for a reason and we just have to accept that it may be a blessing or a lesson depending on what the Lord is trying to reveal to us. Focus on moving forward always never backwards. Don’t worry about getting even with anyone who has ever done you wrong. That’s not your job or your fight. Leave it all in the hands of the greater power and simply focus on yourself.

General success in life must come internally from the peace of mind as you know that you did everything in your power to become the best possible version of yourself. Self satisfaction that cannot come from external factors but simply from you alone. Let your faith be seen as crazy by others to the point that they look at you strangely as they cannot comprehend the belief and hope that you have in something that you cannot explicitly prove. People will call you crazy at first before stating they always believed in you as they congratulate you on your breakthrough. Believe in yourself above everything ! As long as you know what you stand for that is all that matters. Find peace in the fact that whatever you truly believe in and hope for will be yours without doubt. A lot of us claim we really believe in ourselves but if this was the case we would have no doubt in our journey and the final outcome as we would understand that we are going exactly where we have been called to go.

As the end of this decade draws nearer may we enter a period of supernatural favour with the peace of our minds and peace of our hearts. Amen

Thanks For Your Time

Resilience

The capacity to recover quickly from difficulties. The ability to suffer from setbacks and continue to work twice as hard. The strength to be rejected and still chase your dreams as if nothing has happened. It takes a real level of resilience to be able to continue to strive for greatness even in the face of adversity. The most successful people of our generation all require this trait to prevail in any area of life as rejection and failure become a part and parcel of life that we must overcome. But one thing I know for sure is that true winners and champions will never reminisce on their losses. Instead it’ll be used as a source of motivation to drive them to eradicate that feeling permanently as the word NO can never be the final say. I know I cannot be phased by the opinion of man when the Lord is the author of my faith. Anything that I have not received is either on its way to me when the time is right or it is not for me completely. As we know what is meant for us will never pass us by. In times of difficulty when asking God for strength he will give us the opportunity to show how strong we are. As you possess much more than you know. For life does not get easier or more forgiving, we just get more resilient.

Sometimes we want to escape our trials and tribulations so quickly without considering what lesson the Lord is trying to teach us whilst in that particular trial. 1 Peter 5:10 reads “And after you have suffered a little while, the God of all grace, who has called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, confirm, strengthen, and establish you”. Through our suffering we become grateful and humbled by the downside of life that will allow us to be much more appreciative once we reach the pinnacle of our life’s calling. How many times have you said to yourself I can’t do this and still managed to come out victorious. Even with doubt in your mind you were still able to conquer. If only you could convert those feelings of doubt into positive thoughts and pure belief. Nothing will be able to get in the way of what is destined for you. You will be established. The power of the mind is vital when trying to overcome barriers and affliction. A life without setbacks does not exist. Only the characters who are able to continue fighting despite the setbacks they may face are the ones who will accomplish everything they set out to. The only person who can make a difference and take control of the future is the person you see when you look in the mirror. Not your friends and not your family. But simply YOU. Take responsibility and be the difference that you want to see in your life.

I can speak from a personal perspective and highlight the numerous amount of times that I have been rejected in a certain area of my life. For a variety of reasons that I myself did not agree with. But for every time I’ve been knocked down a part of me continues to motivate myself internally to work harder to prove each and every single person wrong. As my life cannot be determined by what another individual thinks about me. I am too strong to be affected by others. YOU are too strong to be affected by others. As you are indestructible once you know your worth. Allow your mind to be consumed by positivity and good energy. For you are what you think you are. We are the masters of our reality. Do not limit yourself and do not limit God. For the power of the Lord is limitless. Standing firm in your faith you can turn all your thoughts into your reality. As long as you truly believe in yourself. It’s easy to say how much faith we have but how many of us can say we truly believe although we have not seen ? There is a mind body connection that can be brought to life by the power of your imagination. Carry yourself with confidence standing upright with a positive outlook on life. Let it be known to all, the sky is the limit.

I know that you have been through so much and after all you have endured you are still here today. What does that say about you ? It shows that you refuse to be beaten and that you will continue to live to fight another day. Your scars display your deepest wounds and that in itself is an accomplishment. The damage that life has inflicted on you has only made you stronger. For whatever hurt you in the past has better equipped you for your future. Everything that you need for your glory is already within you. So search no more. That tiny bit of uncertainty you’re having about the next stage in your life let it be removed from today. Let go and let God. Allow yourself to blossom OUTSIDE of your comfort zone. Continue to remind yourself that accomplished dreams and broken records never came from an area of comfort. Every day that we are blessed on this Earth is an opportunity to be stronger and better than yesterday. Hold yourself responsible for a higher standard than anybody else expects of you. Never excuse yourself. Never pity yourself. Be a hard master to yourself and be lenient to everybody else.

You are the master of your fate.

You are the captain of your soul.

Thank You For Your Time.

Clarity

The ability to think clearly without confusion. The ability to be easy to understand. The ability to be transparent and pure. There are a host of meanings for this single term. What does clarity mean to you ? For me clarity is when I have peace of mind and peace of heart. This allows me to make rational decisons. When I’m in this state and I have nothing on my mind, I’m free to give my best whatever the task may be. A lot of people struggle to find clarity as they allow their minds to be congested with negative thoughts and feelings which ultimately leads them away from their goals and ambitions. Another way to think about this is that these negative thoughts and feelings are all created within our imagination. If we change our thoughts we change our feelings. For e.g. whenever you’ve been stressed about something it’s not the actual thing you are stressed about. It’s your thoughts that are causing those feelings. In other words you’re simply feeling your thinking. When distracted by other thoughts and tasks that temporary feeling of stress disappears. This is because you are no longer feeling the thinking that caused that discomfort. A slight change in our thought process will self regulate all negativity and dejection as you start to realise that you are always in control at all times. 

We can not allow our feelings to be determined by our circumstances. As normal as it may feel to say things like “I won’t be happy until I’ve secured a new job”, this can actually lead to feelings of dissatisfaction as our happiness can not come from external factors but instead must come from within ourselves for true feelings of content. This is because no matter how close you get, it may seem like there’s always a little bit more to do. Of course there must be a level of realism towards these feelings but true happiness must come from somewhere deep within that can not be altered by anyone or anything from the outside. Let us be clear in everything that we do with pure hearts and minds working towards accomplishing our goals. With clear intentions and objectives our focus can never be swayed towards things of no real value or meaning. 

Philippians 3:15 reads “So let’s keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision.” It takes total commitment and a clear view to achieve everything that we are destined to have. Wherever you may have lost focus or lost sight of the plan your vision will be restored and clarity will locate you. If you’re really willing to do everything it takes to achieve everything you’ve ever set your heart on, it will come to pass if it’s Gods will and the time is right. Everyone’s glory and success has a time and a place. When it’s your time your blessings will flow over your life in abundance. Until then let us humble ourselves and satisfy with hard work, consistent drive and a pure heart free of envy. 

In life everyone likes to be comfortable. In a comfort zone where they are used to the way everything works and the order and structure of things. This is why there is a “Fear of The Unknown” when it comes to making changes to the pattern of our current lives and the manner in which we approach new tasks and obstacles. However, the unknown may actually provide us with a new outlook on life and allow us to come up with new intuitive ideas that we were previously unaware of due to our so called fear. There are things in our mind that are part of the “Known” and these may be old methods that no longer have a key role to play in our lives where the “Unknown” could be the source of fresh new ideas that open the doors to the future. Psalm 23:4 reads “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death I shall fear no evil.” Let us not have spirits of fear but rather spirits of faith. The unknown of today could be the difference in your life tomorrow.

Courage

The ability to do something that frightens one. Something that requires bravery. It takes courage to be able to do something that makes you feel uncomfortable. Something that makes you scared and anxious when you think about it for too long. Fear is an illusion of our minds that’s used by the negative side of our inner self to cripple our positive thoughts and feelings. Those thoughts and feelings that could be used to kickstart new chapters of success and breakthrough. Isaiah 54:4 reads “Do not fear for you will not be ashamed”. What is there to be scared of ? The judgement of others bears no weight on who you are so you should never pay any attention to those who have nothing positive to say. Surround yourself with a group of people who can motivate you to achieve great things and be elevated to new and elusive platforms. If you can’t be inspired by those around you, you’re probably with the wrong group of people.

If I was to share my dreams and goals with small minded people they would probably get scared and tell me that’s it’s not possible. Simply due to the fact that their own minds cannot comprehend greatness in the way that I’ve envisioned it. And that reason alone is why I strive to do everything in my power to accomplish what they said I couldn’t do. And so should you ! It takes courage to take the first step into a world of unknown where you are unsure of what the future may hold. But who God bless no man can curse. The first step is always the hardest. The rest of it becomes a process where we embrace the journey of growth and changes in order to become the best version of ourselves. May you be the head and never the tail.

You always have a choice in life. We can choose to sit back and let life defeat us. Or we can choose to rise up and head firmly towards our hearts desires. Every celebrity or role model that our generation tends to look up to have all had to start from somewhere. Without the courage or bravery that they have shown throughout their careers they would not be where they are today. No one is a professional the first time they start something new. But those who believe in themselves even when the odds are stacked against them are the ones who go on to prevail and conquer all challenges. So whether it’s a new business, a new job or even a new hobby, go and start whatever you’ve been stalling on. You’ll never know what joy it could bring until you try.

Luke 1:37 reads “For nothing will be impossible with God”. Everyone will tell you it’s impossible until it’s done. Blessed are the ones who believe although they have not seen as their blessings come to light through their faith. Back yourself even when others don’t. Try your hardest to make the best out of every situation. Everything happens for a reason so let us view the negatives as a lesson and all positives as a blessing. I would rather live a life where I gave my best at all times than living a life full of regrets. Wouldn’t you ? You will never regret trying. Simple efforts could be the catalyst of something special.

It takes courage to be knowledgable. It takes courage to be entertaining. It takes courage to be rich. It takes courage to go after your dreams. After all you’ve gone through did you overcome all your suffering to simply fit in and be described as normal ? What’s a life in fear when you can live a life with faith ?

Thank Your For Your Time

Testimony

The term used to demonstrate proof of something. For example like myself and every blessed person reading this we are all living proof of God’s grace. As it is not by luck nor coincidence that we are here today or that you’ve come across this blog, but simply because it is the will of the most high. The mere fact that we wake up each and every single day and we are able to walk, talk, breathe without assistance and have freedom of speech is a testimony in itself. Being able to highlight these minor things that all add up to the greater good in our lives will better our outlook on life and change our daily approach to living.

Hebrews 10:24 reads “Let us consider how to motivate one another to love and to good deeds”. Being able to praise and help one another in different areas of life could assist in leading someone to their testimony or even having an effect on your own personal testimony. A lot of people will look down on you and will pray on your downfall. As sad as it is these are the truths of life. But let us ignore those who want to see us fall but instead rise above every obstacle that we face in order to come close to our everlasting testimony. Never mistake being kind to others as a sign of weakness. Humility is a trait of all leaders and righteous people. Whatever you’re working on you will reap the rewards of your labour. No one can come in between you and your testimony when you declare and decree the glory that has been placed in your life.

If you believe wholeheartedly in your current journey and put all of your efforts into securing the breakthrough that your soul has been craving, there is nothing that can stop it from coming to pass. It’s easier to claim you believe in yourself than actually going out and backing yourself against all the odds. One thing that must be highlighted is that breakthrough and ultimate success does not come from the comfort zone. Sorry if you thought that was the case. Those achievements can only occur outside of this zone that you have become accustomed to. They occur in the zone where you take a risk on yourself in order to grow exponentially. The zone of risks and growth. If you don’t take a chance on yourself then who will?

Psalm 46:1 reads “For God is our refuge and our strength”. I’m sure you know deep down how successful you can become but you’re afraid of making mistakes. Afraid of being judged by others. But they are not you and they never will be. Would you rather be the person trying new ideas to progress onto a new level or stuck in the same repetitive cycle out of fear? Mistakes are inevitable. I’ve made plenty. Been rejected on numerous occasions. But for every time I’ve been told no the fire in the pit of my soul gets stronger and continues to burn. To prove to every single person that told me I wasn’t good enough that they were wrong. The first person we have to convince is ourselves. 2019 has a testimony waiting for me as it does for you. Are you ready for it?

Last thing to think about: How can we be bothered about the opinion of man when our future lies firmly in the hands of the Lord?
