THEY SAY YOU CAN’T, BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY! (for what you say determines your success)

You wake up in the morning, say your prayer, do all the other morning stuffs, you even turn on the television set to know what is going on in your world and majority of what you hear and see is bad news, wars, death, economic failures etc. and you ask yourself how can I make it under this situations surrounding me? You keep on wondering and pondering as you start your day. And what runs in your mind is negativity and when you try to overcome this negative thoughts majority of the people around you even the once you love are diving deeply into it consciously and unconsciously discouraging you the more.

And as the day goes on, you share your dreams and goals to your friends and family for many of them the first thing that comes in their mind is “Hey! You can’t do this, you can’t do that, haven’t you seen or heard about the economic failures of countries, lack of freedom, persecutions, oppressions, lack of opportunities, betrayals? and so on and so forth,  so stop thinking big, think in the level of the  situation around you”. So they say, they might not say it openly, but some might so be aware. 

They say you can’t make it, you can’t open that business, there is no job opportunity, there is no freedom, you can’t be a millionaire, billionaire, or a trillionaire, you can’t be a founder and CEO of your own company you can’t even create one, there is no security, people from our ethnic background do not succeed, nobody in our clan have ever succeeded, in fact THEY SAY YOU CAN’T, BUT WHAT DO YOU SAY? What you say will no doubt determine your success. What I do advice people is that, Speak to yourself loud and clear daily that you will make it no matter what is going on around you, in the bathroom,  while chatting with peers, at dinner, at work, in school even while watching and listening to the television and  radio anywhere you are always be positive, speak life to yourself don’t let people to talk you down just because you have given them the opportunity to do so, screen what you take into yourself (your brain), it is not all advice that worthy taking, some might be dream killers, some might be dream builders (yes! I love DREAM BUILDERS). 

Read, watch the stories of history makers, record breakers, and successful people and get inspiration , be motivated to pursue your dream everyday, hey! before I forget, J DON’T FORGET TO PRAY EVERY MORNING AS YOU START YOUR DAY, if you don’t know how to pray, go learn how to because it helps a lot. One of the benefits of prayers is that you are calling for help from your Creator as you start your day and that means a lot to HIM.    

THEY SAY YOU CAN’T, once again I ask WHAT DO YOU SAY? This is a question that needs an answer, and your answer DETERMINES YOUR SUCCESS.
