It's Never Too Late To Start Over

IT NEVER TOO LATE TO START OVER

Life is too short be to wasted on things that are unsuccessful, chasing dark fantasies, going after achieving the wrong dream. I know sometimes it get hard  to  abide by the almighty hope, at times the path we choose to pursue turn out to be the wrong path.

Many  work harder than the devil but the fruit of their tree of labour never gets ripe, after being over consistence they fall back, with regrets, hanger, excessive hatred for any creature that breathes  just because life proves to be unfair to them.

I did i little observation, i came across one the major reason why we don't succeed in a particular things like others do. Chasing the wrong dream, walking on the wrong path.

I once had a dreams of becoming a medical doctor, i chased  the dream with an almighty force but things changes, my friends see it as optical because they had confidence that its mine, it wasn't, just because i chose being a doctor for a reason but not for the love or passion i had, i chose that for a selfish gain.

I didn't gave up on me though , when i did the math, i understood the dream,so i switched lane to the path that i love, that's where i belong.

Thousands are vitim of this, they all graduate from what they never intended to study, simply because they took things they way the saw it.
They applied for a course  they loved but ended up graduates of unrelated course, while others choose certain course because my friends is doing it, or if i am done I'm gonna be earning huge. Chasing the wrong dream on the right path.

The second reason is Chasing a dream that isn't turning into reality like forever . Such do exist, you know we have been told since day one that only losers give up, and that  consistency determination backed up with hard work and hope to visualize it.

You can chase something, hold on to, wait patiently for it to be optimal but when its seems unpredicted  you strike on another path but people think its improper taking such decision.

 I preach passion,motivate and encourage people never to give up on their dreams, but recently i came in contact with someone who has been holding on with hope , his power packed with enthusiasm  and passion to succeed but visualizing all he ever dreamt of seems like pouring water on a dock back.


He wants to become a famous music, according to him, he has been on this road to fame since 2004 and we're in 2014 now,  10 years. And the dream hasn't come through. So sad, he added that he hustle all his money into it, sometimes he feels like giving up or at least taking a break but the passion keeps accelerating on a high velocity.

 I asked him if he has ever thoughts about rebirth, something like born again like Christians do, he replied No, i told him to do a thorough research to discover his potential, so he can work on making it realistic.  Maybe music isn't for him, or he never meet his Jesus or a good Samaritan yet. For me, guess he wasted complete 10 years trading on the wrong path and also around the wrong people.

IT NEVER TOO LATE TO START OVER
START OVER

knowing that you have only one life to life and each single minute wasted is gone forever, like the infamous upcoming musician . You can redesign, reconstructed your whole life if you think the path you where, or are isn't the right one.

The problem you might be facing is getting started, to you its too late , like i always say'' Nothing on earth is impossible, you can do it if you think you can.

How you live a meaningless life, a life filled with regrets of mistakes done in the pass? You mights have betrayed your self for so long in the course of being an absolute dream chaser but you never come with an encounter with the holder of the Holy grail of life so to take a sip from it.

It's unimportant trying to retrace or know why and how exert damage done rather, taking a stand to embrace the right path and getting your life on the proper lane.

Starting over is not the same things as managing or recouple with failure, its  a  new beginning, it's a rebirth, the new version of the old you. Though it might change your skin because its a mindset.

It will seem like a dumb move at first but later on it will be a celebration of a new positive and a happy fulfilled you. Starting over is being opportune to live again.
Never look back, Forward ever. Love yourself, that's what that matters.

Great Lessons You Can Learn from Helen Keller

What Can You Learn From Helen Keller?
Graduation, c. 1904

The life of Helen keller was an exemplary life to learn from, she's one the people influential people and her type is what the world needs. She proved that adjective impossible is just a word.  Apart from Roger bannister who completed the 4 minute run and others who also proved this unprogressive mindset wrong. That of Helen Keller is different, she set a standard for us all to learn from.

For those of you who are not quite familiar with this almighty name, Helen Keller was a blind and deaf woman who earn a bachelor degree of art, from America. Actually she wasn't born that way. Illness at tender age made her. AT 19th months old, she got ill of what doctors named ''an acute congestion of the stomach and brain'', the sickness left her both blind and deaf at the same time.

Very sorrowful and sad right? but she never took her disabilities as an opportunity to cultivate and grow negativity and self hatred.

Her Achievement

She achieved even what 65% of able man can't achieve but she did in a short while. She learned how to communicate with her family through her own manipulated 60 signs. Not only that she also learn to identify when music is being played by place her hand on the tabletop. That's not all, the most wonderful. In 1902 , at the age of 24, Helen graduated as the first blind person to earn a bachelor degree of ART, from Radcliffee.

In her whole life, despite being disable she wrote the total of 12 published books and uncountable articles. She went on to shine like a diamond to become a world famous speaker and author. She had foundations that empowered who had the same disability as her.

Helen Heller's Inspirational words You Can Learn From.

During her lifetime, she made her mark. Below are some powerful inspiring memorable words of her,.


  • You can do anything only if you stick to it long enough.
  • Instead of comparing our lots with  that of those who are more fortunate than we are, we should compare it with the lot of great majority of our fellow men. It then appears that we are among the privileged.
  • Many people know so little about what is beyond their short range of experience. They look within themselves- and finding nothing!. Therefore they conclude that there is nothing outside himself either.
  • I can, and that is why i can be happy, in what you call the dark, but which to me is golden. I  can see a God-made world, not a manmade world.
  • While they were saying it cannot be done, it was done.
  • Knowledge is love and light and version.
  • All the world is full of suffering, And also full of overcoming.
  • The only things worse than being blind is having sight but no version.
  • What a blind person needs is not a teacher but another self.
  • What I am looking for is not out there, it is in me.
  • What i am looking for is not out there, it is in me


Things I learn from Helen Keller that you can also Learn.

1. I learn that something goden can be made out of the worst consider. Picture her life, i know it wasn't easy for her even till the end but she manage to be  different. Instead of saying,'' I can never win'', she said i can be who i was destined to be. She told her disability you must change to ability.


2.You don't have to be complete physical to makes it in this life. The power of will and courage can't be underestimated. A freshy minded man is a weak and a failure without the strong, determined spirit man backing him up. Heller wasn't lucky from my point of view she's was hard working and focused.

3. You can lived comfortable with pains if you don't focus on it. I know she felt like giving up at times, probably negative thoughts but she lived and fulfilled made history, broke records,wrote turn her whole into written words and a living example longer after she's gone.

4.Nothing is stopping you.. If i was would committed suicide or live to eat and wait for the day death will come do me a favour but in that of Keller, she rise over barriers, hate and accomplished a lot.

5.Love yourself or nobody will. I truly believe that she had oppositions, haters and discouragement but she used love to conquer them all. She had hugged love and care for herself. With it she survive every moment.

Over To You..

At some point of our life we dreams to become somebody successful, we all fantasized about this but we limit ourself, let situations and disabilities paint of aspiration in dust.

Why You Should Never Ever Give Up

Why You Should Never Ever Give Up

At certain point life and all our hard works and investment seems unproductive. Making it to that pinnacle of success seems like the seas you crossed were all in vein. The land of fulfilment gets farther the closer you get, you still feel behind. When all the faith is hopeless and insufficient and the only option left is giving up . Are you in such situation or is life so unfair to such extend?  Today i tell you never to give up on your dreams. Time will heal everything. As the saying goes'' Winners Never Give Up. In order walk into the hall of fames and have a chapter in the history book you need to have in mind that nothing good comes easy and Rome  was not built in a day.  Like i said lately'' We need to be motivated timelessly'' to man up our courage .

Thomas Edison failed but he never gave up.  While in school Thomas was regarded as the least student due to his  inability  to shine like his class mate. His teacher told him that'' He was to stupid to learn anything ''. His unproductive head made him to lose two jobs. He never lets those disabilities hold him back.  He still went on, trying to prove    no one could ever thought of, he still failed this times 1000 times as an attempts to invent light bulb . Despite the multiple failed attempts he never accepted failure, when asked how it felt failing multiply  times he replied'' I didn't fail, the 1000 times were steps''. 

Marilyn Monroe; the sixth greatest female star of all time never woke up one to day to this award. She hits the stone hard and crossed of valley. She was sack after she failed to turn for  firming. Her first modelling job paid only 5 $ enough to make any body take the exist but she never did.  Before the fame as an actress and a sex figure encountered lot of obstruction, hits many obstacles even got sack by her first Hollywood studio, faced problems in her home, marriage and career she never gave up.  '' Just because you fail once doesn't mean you're gonna fail at everything''.

Michael Jordan wasn't an exception. Today his the greatest basket baller of all time but this didn't just happen.Sea were crossed,ship sink and glasses were broken. Years later he said..'' I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career, I've lost almost 300 games. 29 times, I've been trust to take the wining shoots and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that's why i succeed. ''


Never hang down in your comfort zone find a way. Failure is never an end point but preparing and a test of your strength if you've have what it's takes. There is no dought that failure is a friend and that everyone encounter with failure is for a better reason. Sri Chinmoy said “Not to give up under any circumstances should be the motto of our life: we shall try again and again, and we are bound to succeed. There will be obstacles, but we have to defy them. So do not give up, do not give up! Continue, continue! The goal is ahead of you. If you do not give up, you are bound to reach your destined goal.“
''When you get into a tight place and everything goes against you, till it seems as though you could not hang on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.''_Harriet Beecher Stowe.
Success and failure can make you loose concentration. All what you need is the right tool which is the wisdom  and power of unconditional surrender, Listen to you drum. Everything gets better with time, Never give up. Like Edison, Marilyn, Michael Jordan and other famous successful people today they faced the hard side of life, they never gave up.

What Do You Point Your Camera At?

Credits: trekearth.com


When words become unclear, I shall focus with photographs. When images become inadequate,I shall be content with silence.
_ Ansel Adams

Cameras are extra ordinary mechanism which keeps memories alive, its works in such a magnificent way. While talking pictures the position and posse matters, the focus in the most important. You focus on the image or object that you are about to capture, any mistake you lose focus and when such is done the perfect picture you wanted to takes shrinks.

Like the photographer he points his camera on the object in front of him, why because he knows what his pointing at. The first thing he does is look for a better position. He analyse if his present position is in accordance to his focus if not he makes changes,  he reposition his camera.

There are so many objects on his lens, what he does is focus on a specific one  in other for him not to lose his focus or aim what he never intended to.
He captures a real image. The message captured makes him feel his done enough. His dreams came through.

I am a not a photographer i just imagine the above , i hope it's on point.

OK, now lets apply the work of a photographer and his camera into our life race , imagine you,'re the photographer, the camera is your thoughts and the focus is your goal,your dream and your future.

I hope you understand me well now, What do you point your (focus)camera at?

The things of our life is never priceless,the individual you wish to become is never abstracts however the individual you are today makes who you'll become tomorrow.

The level of fulfilment  in life is directed  to where you point your concentrate on.
In order to aim high and achieve extraordinary success, first  you have to stop focusing on the dream, instead of dreaming and waking up to nothing, focus on how to make it come through.

"Focus on the journey, not the destination. Joy is found not in finishing an activity but in doing it." _Greg Anderson

Most people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of
our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.

You know what you really want and what will be the outcome then the next thing step to take is CHASE it


"The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear"._Brian Tracy

Lot of benefit is attached to pointing your focus on positive things. Whatever your thoughts plants will grow. Focus brings fruitful outcome and joy, like meditation it can't be a success unless focus is utilized effectively.


Focus and commitment is a moving force that has the capability if turning tables around. Both works in accordance. You are only a success factor if you're concentration and works are not backup. But success is  you when the determination to SUCCEED is backed-up with focus and absolute commitment.


Over to You



What do you point your (focus)camera at? Your dreams or on negative things that don't have the possibilities of transforming into reality? What do you think of this post?, l'll like to read your thoughts.

Being There For Others

Being There For Other

 How will you feel when you wake up in the world that is void and you all alone, no assistant from someone. You hit and gather alone, picture that. It seems boring right?. Be there for other as people are/were present and  supportive when you needed them.

The universe can't without force that keeps it going, humans are helpers of one another. The main purpose while we were made in two's was to be there, assist each other. There is this aphorism my mother always say'' Life is mutualism. We eat each other to grow''.


Encourage one another: People are weak vessels. They feel reluctant, they give up easily when they are left alone, ignored and not cared for. They like this negative thinking of being unimportance.  They lack the active force that pushes some to do something but when someone is right next to them, empathizing and telling them words of encouragement it boost their mindset, lower the laziness and motivate them to vim more.


Empathy: Living is voluminous, life is convolution. Sometimes the emotions that we harbour drives us insane and the world gets heavy to carry. You just wish you're understood but things go sideways. Being there for those that are in such states of mind empathetically.Showing them there are not alone by giving a little sense of understanding.

Rejoice and weep together: Loving someone  implies  sharing all moment together weather it's good or bad. Rejoice with people when they tend to find joy and happiness, weep with them when part or whole of it is taken away.


Build Up One Another:  Somebody backed you up to become who you are today(probably your guardian), you cannot proclaim self made but a half because someone have helped you out during the race.  Someone taught you things you never knew.
Helping is inescapable, it reciprocation of what someone else has done to make you strong. Once in our life we do need someone to look up to, build up others dreams like you do yours. Give them right and reason to exist.

''Treat people as if they were what they out  to be,and you help them to become what they are capable of being'' _ Goethe. 

Recognize Others Existence and do something memorable,.....Do you know that most amazing thing that can happen to someone is being recognized they exist ?. And most of all is bring them to the spotlight. Some famous musicians, actresses  were all discovered and brought to the path of fame by someone like you. Do unto others what you do to yourself.
''A person is a person because he recognizes others as persons''_ Desmond Tutu.
Light Them Up:   Sometimes our light goes out, but is blown again into instant flame by an encounter with another human being. They comes a time when we loose thing we never thought we could . When we fall from the pinnacle we reach. Be there for them by replacing a  part. light, cheer them up, introduce them to new ways of climbing to that perfect high again.

A great man is by deeds not by birth, anyone one that wants to be great stands up for others, a strong man's strength is a waste if he don't use it to defend the weaker once. When we die what matters is not how large we lived but how many people we help to attain the height we obtained.

Be there for others....

Don't Ever Start Up Your Day In Neutral

You live in a moment and the moments is time, never waste a minute,  seize every single  moment because today determines what and how tomorrow will look like. Life is too short to be waiting for the future to come, opportunity knocks only when you take advantage of every single day. Many sit waiting for the future to appears like Angel Gabriel when he appeared to Mary.

The Holy Grail of life is not a bed of roses, begin living in the future today, yesterday was the past same as today, every day that passes away swings away living behind that future. I agree with Kanye West when he said

 '' I’m living in the future so the present is my pasts''.
A couple of people , if am not wrong 99% of human believes that future is like an award show probably the Grammy, only the best in a category grabs the award and that's every musician's dream. You don't have to live your whole life just to be awarded but see yourself as a living winner, every day that passes you win another life.

Doing your little best today prepares your place in the next moments. Life is like a bulb no one knows its future, tomorrow it might blow up  or   die out, so when can you live if not now?. The ROSE flower of tomorrow are in the seed of today.

Don't waits  for God's time to come walk ahead of time but not far  than your legs could go_  Yippee Daniel. 

We all know that God's time is the best, that does not create an avenue for indolence , they say ''Heaven help those that help they self''. A warrior is always wide awake even when his eye lips close, his forever ready, his down for whatever and deep inside his mind his forever winning. He knows nothing like getting defeated.


Walking toward time set your chances of winner high, Mike Tyson trains ahead and even when he has no match to fight, there are bunch of reasons never to start your day in neutral.
There are so many people who waits for the right time to come, they end up losing because they never picture how the right looks like, their understanding of the right place at the right time was bestowed on faith without work.


''If you want to conquer anything, don't sit at home and think about it. GO out and get busy''


Time waits for no one, begin to live now where you will live hereafter. The lesson the almighty teacher life ,teaches us is that you're always closer than you think... Opportunity don't knock on close doors, opportunity is where you are right now. Take a chance do not waste a second, any hour wasted is gone forever.

Know the significance  of today, the future is now. Tomorrow is too far.
Yesterday is gone. Tomorrow has not yet come. We have only today. Let us begin.” ― Mother Teresa


 There is never enough time to do all the nothing you want to do says Bill_Watterson. Never start a day in neutral, neutral in the sense of nothing belonging to the hard working nor the soft working but just hanging on  nothing.

Be The Change You Wish To See In The World



Whatever you think of will grow, if you think positively that you can move mountain and you act on it yes you can. Nothing is impossible ,even the world itself is possible.

We all seek something and we expect others to be the person we want them to be,  its impossible to remove the plank in our neighbors eye when our own is taller.

You know the famous quote by Mahatma Gandhi who said "be the change
you wish to see in the world
" .It's self explanatory isn't it?. Every body be yelling change to the world, but we're not putting no effort at all,instead of working towards change which begins with us we expecting somebody else to bring the change we seek.
Some expect the government,politicians and religion to bring it ,while others just stay neutral to the changes.


"Life's too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so ... Love the people who treat you right. Pray for the ones who don't. Life is ten percent what you make it and ninety percent how you take it!

Begin with yourself ,shift your thoughts about change, see it as something within not far away.

Do want need to be done.If you wish things are never right as it supposed to be, stop contemplating, adopt that thing and work toward placing it on the right position.

Be the change ,begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Never trying to force people to accept change but lived an exemplary changed life.

Deal with the cause not focus on the problem itself, the more you pay attention to change itself rather than how you can bring it into reality the more things get worst.

11 Things to Stop Doing to Yourself

Life  is a precious gift and should he be utilized, lived to the fullest.Every one has the right to it,people limit their self from certain delicacies  of life, they disobey the laws of nature in living a well and satisfying life. We all hold on to worthless and time wasting phrase, sipping from the holy grails of ' life is not fair'.But have you  thought  about bleaching yours?.I don't mean using Dencia's Whitening Cream but to stop doing harmful things that we do to our self every day.

We are whom we think we are , nobody is responsible for our misfortunes, self hatred, low self esteem, poverty,and the rest of the bad things don't just come to us unless we invite them.
The law of attractive affirms it , like attracts like.

There are certain practice we indulge our self in that hinders us from living that life, below are things to do to help put an end.



1.Stop Hating Yourself:

we subsequently let bad emotions add negative treats to our thoughts, we feel rejected,hated, we are not doing enough, we are not beautiful,smart, we not intelligent, we too this and that unlike the people we see. All this makes us develop self hatred. I urge you today to stop  hating yourself today and learn to love and cherish yourself today or nobody will.


2.Stop Trying to be Perfect:

Why waste time trying to look perfect just to  make people congratulate you? OH! no, there's no award for that, perfectionist are loser in the world that every one need those that get things done.

3.Stop Trying to be like Someone:

If you have abundant love for yourself trying to be someone else will be completely uses, you can never be me, you can change the real you, so why put on an image or try to put on an attachment just to look like everybody else. Those Hollywood celebrities you make your role model that you're trying to be like do you know the real them?.

5.Stop Blaming Others for Your Mistakes:

The moment you start pushing you problems to others, you loose and deny yourself. The length which you can achieve you dreams depends on how far you accepts and take responsibility.


6.Stop Worrying About the Past:

You did some wrong years back? those days are gone, they happened for  a reason which is to make you who you are today, you can never right you wrongs so why worry about them?. Things don't just happened but were meant to,so instead you sitting regretting about the past work on how to make the present a better one.

7.Stop Allowing others let you down and stop letting others down:

The measure you gives others is the same people will measure to you,respect is reciprocal,life is a two side coin.


8.Stop focusing on the Negative:

Life is so unfair that it can change people, feeding them with negativity, we worry about things won't get any better, my whole life is finished, i can do that because i will fail e.t.c, stop!! focus on the positive things, embrace positivity and break free from dark thoughts because it won't lead you no way.


9.Stop being Jealous of Others:

Everybody is and can never be equal,people will always aim higher than you, work on adding value and aiming your away than to envil others of their successes.

10.Stop Running Away from Your Problem:

Problems can never take to their hills until someone send them aways, face them squarely if you can't eliminate them you live with them.


11.Stop Deceiving and Lying to Yourself:

Why waste time and your energy trying, claiming to be who you're not even when you know it , you still try to confusing yourself that you're real.For example; you don't believe in certain thing don't force yourself to accept it.

Lastly don't  buy happiness, happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.
