Do we really see things the way they are or we simply see them depending on how other people see them? Do we know that we really do shape our lives through our thoughts? So many times we disconnect from ourselves and as such life drives us instead of us driving it. We often complain about many things in life but we do nothing about them. Yes, we don't have the power to change anything in the world. But we have the power to change ourselves and that changes everything in the world. The reason why problems persist is because instead of fixing the problems, we fix blames. We are fond of blaming other people for complicating our lives. No body is responsible for your life and if anything is to move forward in your life, it's you to make it happen. You have to strongly believe in yourself and that will increase what is possible for your life. The reason why you give up is because you see failure as a bad thing. But the road that leads to success is Failure. Failure is not the outcome, but not trying. Its failure that will help you see other better pathways and routes to success that you couldn't see at first. Get up and get started. God Himself, is meant to help you not to do the work for you. You must be doing something for Him to come and help you fulfill what you are doing. Start your dream no matter how worst the beginning may be, the best will come along the way. We have to disconnect from the world around us and reconnect within ourselves and seek the answers to most difficult questions in life of "what?", "why?", " when?", "why?" , "where?" , and "how?". As a result , the deepest wisdom will be allowed within ourselves. Courageous people don't do things because they are not afraid , they do them despite their fears. The starting point is to identify the true passion; the exact dream. And the dream is not something you dreamt that happened, but something you never knew was going to come into your life. Its something you must be for the rest of your life. Its who you are, and you have to understand that its already created and waiting for you to get into it. The only way to Change everything , is to change yourself.
I was born in 1998 and I lost my father in 2000. I have seven biological brothers and two biological sisters, and am the second last born in the family. By the time my father died, the first born son was studying mechanical engineering and the second eldest brother was in senior six, and that was their end. Everything turned upside down. The next chapter of life was characterized by poverty, tears, grief, sorrow, and misery. One of my brothers attempted to make a suicide; He hang himself on a tree but unfortunately my mother saw him and made a very loud cry to him, in panic the rope slipped from the tree and he felt down, making the suicide unsuccessful. The first born ran mad. I remember him trying to eat a dog alive! In that tearful moments, there are two prayers ( we are Catholics) that created a rock foundation on which the family is built on up to today. One was prayed by my mother and the second one prayed by my second eldest brother. My mother's prayer " Dear Mother Ma...
