Grow above your fears!

One thing I know for sure is that I can never run away from challenges. They must come and when they come, I embrace them and conquer them because they are only mean't to make me stronger. Challenges crush you when you do not recognize them as challenges.
NOTE: Life does not get easier rather, you grow stronger.

There is no more perfect time than now!

I haven't said anything this year because of my tight schedule. I was just busy planning my 2017, what to execute and how to execute them. But I taught of people who delight in reading my posts and that's why I wrote this because I know there must be someone that needs it. Let me start by wishing you a happy New year! 

I titled this 'there is no more perfect time than now' because I know fully well that there are many people out there that are waiting for the perfect time to plan for the future, the perfect time to start saving for the future, the perfect time to invest for the future. Let me tell you the gospel truth, THERE IS NEVER A TIME MORE PERFECT THAN NOW! If you are still there waiting for a perfect time you'll have to wait till eternity in vain. There is nothing like PERFECT TIME in the real world, though it may exist in myths. The only perfect time is right now! Start investing for your future now. Whatever you do today affects you tomorrow. The sacrifices you make today is what is going to better your tomorrow. It's better to cry today and laugh tomorrow. It's drops of water that make a mighty ocean. Never neglect that petty business you are managing now but don't ever stop at that petty business, make it grow into an enterprise. I don't look at where you are now but where you will be tomorrow is my concern. You are here today doesn't mean you can't be there tomorrow except if you choose to remain here. Don't wait till you get a fund that can help you acquire a very big company, start as little as your capital can carry you. A man once said "If you can't be an ocean be a sea, if you can't be a sea be a river, if you can't be a river be a stream but be the best of whatever you are".
   
Consequently, I've come to understand that it's more risky not trying at all than trying. A farmer was once asked by
someone if he had planted wheat for the season. The farmer replied, "No. I was afraid it wouldn't rain." He was asked again, "Did you plant corn?" The farmer said "No. I was afraid that insects would eat the corn." Then the man asked, "What did you plant?" The farmer said, "Nothing. I played it safe." Now tell me, did the farmer really played it safe or was he foolish? Give the answer to yourself. Shiv Khera in his book 'You can win' said something and I want to conclude with it. He said "To laugh is to risk appearing the fool, to weep is to risk appearing sentimental, to reach out for another is to risk involvement, to expose feelings is to risk exposing your true self, to place your ideas, your dreams, before a crowd is to risk their loss, to love is to risk not being loved in return, to live is to risk dieing, to hope is to risk despair, to try is to risk failure. But risks must be taken, because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing. The person who risks nothing, does nothing, has nothing and is nothing. They may avoid suffering and sorrow, but they cannot learn, feel, change, grow, love, or live. Chained by their attitudes, they are slaves, they have fortified their freedom. Only a person who risks is free."
