The Scales ⚖️✍

The greatest challenge I've ever faced in my life was beginning to believe in myself after I felt like all had been lost. ⁠ ⁠ When you lose faith and trust in yourself and everything around you, things begin to look pretty dark. It can feel like there's no one who understands where you're at and can possibly help you through the mud you're in. If you're in this place right now, I want you to hear what I'm about to say next.⁠ ⁠ No matter how bad it gets, deep within you lives a light that cannot be extinguished. ⁠ ⁠ Some call it hope. Others call it courage. I think it may be different for everyone. But for me, it was resilience. It has always been there and no matter what was happening in my life, no matter how bad it seemed, I knew that if I just kept on moving forward, I would find my way out of the mud. ⁠ ⁠ You will too.⁠ ⁠ To find this spark again, you need to quiet everything down around you - all of the voices, judgements and people - and reach deep within...

WHY THE COMPETITION?>>>>>> Was jogging this morning and I noticed a person in front of me, about 1/2 a kilometer. I could tell he was running a little slower than me and I thought, good, I shall try to catch him. I had about a kilometer to go on my path before I needed to turn it off. So I started running faster and faster. Every block, I was gaining on him just a little bit. After just a few minutes I was only about 100 yards behind him, so I really picked up the pace and push myself. You would have thought I was running in the last leg of the London Olympic competition. I was determined to catch him. Finally, I did it! I caught and passed him by. On the inside, I felt so good. "I beat him" of course, he didn't even know we were racing. After I passed him, I realized I had been so focused on competing against him that I had missed my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks past it. I had to turn around and go all back. Isn't that what happens in life whe...

COMPARISON IS FOOLISH, DON'T BE A FOOL I have come to discover that we are all created equal, but we don't have the same abilities and the same destinies. We don't even have the same background. Life is not meant to be a competition or a comparison between two or more people. Therefore stop living your life as if you are in competition with anyone. Living your life in competition with anyone is nothing but folly and a waste of time. If you must compete at all, strive to compete only with yourself. Make up your mind to be better today than you were yesterday. Don't buy things simply because others are buying them. If you look at what others have and what you lack, you will constantly live under stress and pressure which is not good for your health. Measuring up with others cannot make you who you really are meant to be. Comparison is an enemy of contentment. The Bible says "Godliness with contentment is great gain". There are a lot of miserable 'successful...

I know when we met you thought you knew exactly the type of man I was. That was your first mistake😅 Your second mistake was treating me like the rest and expecting that would be good enough. You don’t treat a King with any less than the best of everything and expect it to be okay. I’ll never accept being an option nor will I settle for disrespect and dismissal. Your biggest mistake was thinking that I would accept scraps of your time and attention and be happy with it. I’m not that kind of man- not one in a million, but once in a lifetime. So, you have a choice to step up and give me your best, or I’ll step away and close the door. No hard feelings, Just reality. Just Saying😏

Is it our willingness to achieve that helps us to gain success? In the journey to success, there are many barriers. Some barriers are external, and most of the time, we have no control over them. Some barriers are created by our own minds. Once we learn to overcome them, we get closer to success. Everyone desires to achieve something in life, but not everyone makes it happen. Some people might be more privileged, but if there is a goal to achieve, there is often a challenge that needs to be overcome. If you lack the resources, it may be difficult, requiring more time and effort, but you can still make it happen. All you need is a strong willingness to turn it into a possibility. A strong will can not only overcome the challenges, but every time you meet with an obstruction, it will find a way out for you. Just Saying😏

TAKE OFF THE MASK Can I tell you something that will go a long way in lifting your spirit? Can I tell you something that will serve as a confidence booster as you aspire towards achieving success in life? Permit me to tell you with absolute certainty that the easiest thing you can be in this world is you. Don't fight with who you are. It is counterproductive to do so. There is something tragic I have noticed under the sun which I believe ought to be addressed; I have noticed that many people like to be anything but themselves. Some people just hate themselves. They can't live with the reality of who they are. So they try to live in denial. There are people in life who constantly strive to be what they are not. They just want to be somebody else. They want to have someone else's abilities, talents, possessions, and looks. What such people do not know is that no one can truly be happy having something that does not belong to him. That person underneath will be full of frustra...

  Marriage has nothing to do with Love. Love is just a cover-up used by people to hide their true agenda. Here are some of the Reasons people get Married. 1. Alliance If you look back at human history, you will find out marriage was only for wealthy people and Royalty. Marriage was used to unite kingdoms, nations and wealthy families to maintain or grow their power, status and wealth. In the current times we can also see this with Arranged Marriages practiced within some cultures. 2. Religion Most of religions condemns or shames having children born out of marriage. Therefore, you see most people trying to get marriage before they have children out of fear or what other people will call or view their children. In the old day’s children born out of marriage were called bastards. 3. Sex Yes, sex. In most religions having sex before marriage is highly condemned and shamed. So, some people actual get marriage so they may have regular sex. Also, some people don’t believe in having sex ...
