Chew on this

Good day everyone, hope you had a great week, I felt the need to share this. Some of this quotes are by me and from some of my favorite authors.

1. The only thing standing between you and all you can be is you and you alone.

2. How do you view a cup that is half filled with water, is it half empty or half full?  your answer to that determines who you are.

3. It is okay to make mistakes but be sure to learn from them.

4. No one can be a better than you, you are unique, special and here for a reason. The world has never and will never see the likes of you again.

5. You don't have to live all your life trying to "FIT IN",the "STAND OUT" option is more worthwhile.

6. It is more than okay to be different. Everyone can't be the same, we see things differently,respond to situations differently and most of all have different gifts.

7. Take charge of your life and happiness, you were born to be happy and your happiness should not depend solely on being appreciated by others.

8. The fact that you are nice to everyone is absolutely no guarantee that they will be nice in return, but it pays not to be a jerk

9. Whether or not you"ll live up to your potential depends exclusively on you.

10. Talent is nothing without hard work.

11. Regardless of where you come from,who you are, racial, religious and cultural background, you have ample chances of being great.

12. It's never always about what you did, more often than not, it's about what you didn't do.

13. Live life everyday closer to your dreams.

14. Until you find something worth living and dying for, you haven't lived

15. If it adds nothing to your life then it's got no business being there

    I wish you all a magical,blissful and peaceful weekend. 

The beginning of a new beginning

    It's been six odd weeks since I've been privileged to post here and to all my page viewers,  I sincerely apologize, it was due to circumstances beyond my control but I'm back again and happy belated new year to you all.
    All the hoorah that came along with welcoming new year has quickly been put into the shade and already it's the sixth day of the year,  time flies so quickly and in no time at all, we'll be at the end of the year. One thing is for certain though, it's never too late to begin again and to start doing things and making decisions and making choices that will push your life in the right direction. With every new day comes an opportunity to start afresh and  do things that will benefit yourself and those around you just like with every failure comes an opportunity to do things more wisely and the good news is you have 366 chances to get it right,  but if you haven't started already, you got 360 more chances which I believe is more than enough.
    I remember vividly December 31st 2015, when everyone was soaking in the merriment of the moment, I began to reflect over everything I had achieved over the past 12 months, some of which are I got into college, made some really amazing friends,  became one of the best students in my department, met an amazing girl and started a blog but when I looked around, I realized that a lot of people were ending the year the same spot  in life as they had begun, some had even regressed and this happens year in, year out. You should live everyday closer to your dreams and aspirations but sadly enough as I mentioned in my earlier posts, some do not have dreams at all but are content to pass through life that they never existed.  It's not too late to start now,  decide where You want to be or want to achieve either in the short term or long term, do you want to build that relationship? Do you want to get that job? Do you want to get promoted? Where do I want to be by the end of the year?  You can start to make plans now, very workable plans that will put you in line to where you want to be. Life is too short to just stay on one spot,  the minutes are ticking fast and if you do not act now,  everything will pass you by, time and tides wait for no one .  It's the beginning of a new beginning!!!!!
