Mine was great because I was in Riyadh to watch an entertaining football match.
During that match I learnt some valuable lessons which are applicable to Business and Personal life development. I shared these lessons in my latest Podcast today.
✍️ In Business and Personal life people don’t become failures when they lost, but only when they quit trying.
✍️Therefore, whenever you are faced by a strong opposition and the challenges of life don’t be intimidated, because it is not the size of the dog that matters but the size of the Fight in the dog.
In the words of Nelson Mandela, “Do not judge me by my success, judge me by how many times I fell down and got back up again.”

📍I want to start by asking you, “How happy has your week been?“
Never forget that happiness is a choice and only you can control it! So do not let your circumstances quench your happiness, rather let your Smile light up your day.💐
✍️Unfortunately some people go through life miserable because they depend on external validation for their happiness.
✍️In today’s episode I want to speak to you about “The Power of Perseverance“🐦🔥
Are you about to give up on a good course? You had the Courage to start but now want to quit because of setbacks! If this resonates with you, then this episode is especially for you.
So let’s get started 👇
✍️”Every problem or failure is an opportunity for a Growth Mindset when you leverage your Setback as a Set-up for a Major Comeback.” – ClemsEmeka
✍️ “All of us have the seed of greatness, unlimited potentials and success within us but what we eventually become in life is only a matter of personal choice.” – ClemsEmeka
✍️”Your dreams and desires are oftentimes due to your internal wiring (unlimited potentials) looking for expression!” ClemsEmeka
✍️”God doesn’t give you dreams and desires without the potentials to fulfill them.” ClemsEmeka
✍️ “Every Audacious Dream requires a Possibility Mindset, Perseverance and Audacious Sacrifice.” ClemsEmeka
✍️ “Every Product, Service and Masterpiece was once an IDEA that refused to quit.” ClemsEmeka 😡
✍️”Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Napoleon Hill
✍️”Most people’s greatest regret at the critical point of life is their unfilled Potentials and Dreams.” ClemsEmeka
✍️ “Grit has two components; Perseverance and Passion.” Angela Duckworth
This brings me to my next point; nobody ever succeeded in life by quitting when faced with diverse obstacles.
The Power of Perseverance empowers you to stay Focused on the Solution instead of the Obstacles.
In the words of the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, “Success is going from failure to failure without losing enthusiasm.”
✍️ Therefore, whenever you Focus on the Solution your Mind will begin to create the strategy to overcome the obstacles.
Conversely, whenever you Focus only on the Obstacles, your Mind comes up with Excuses to quit and abort the Dream.
✍️This brings me to my final point; most people who quit on their visions and dreams never realise how close they are to the finish line.
Moreover, Obstacles and Failures are the foundations for Success. And the Power of Perseverance empowers you to leverage your setbacks as opportunities for Growth by enabling you to develop the requisite capacity to Actualise your Dreams and Visions.
Therefore, don’t be afraid of Obstacles and Failures.
✍️In conclusion, never forget that every Expert was once an Amateur. And every Successful Organisation or Individual was once a Failure that refused to give up.
✍️As I draw this episode to a close, I want to thank you for giving me the incredible gift of your audience. share this post and subscribe today, so that whenever I publish new content you will be notified.

I want to welcome you to another amazing episode of the Limitless Potential Newsletter💎
✍️I would like to kickstart today’s discussion with the following question:
Would you like to Boost your Productivity, Efficiency and Sustainability in both business and personal life?
✍️ To answer this question, I have titled this episode, “The Power of Creativity and Optimisation.”
✍️This brings me to my main point; The Power of Creativity and Optimisation empowers you to leverage your creative potentials by allowing your mind to think of possibilities and produce valuable solutions that are beneficial to the customer value-chain and contribute to the sustainability of the ecosystem.
Hence, this is the reason why in the beginning of human existence, God created the trees but not the chairs. He created the animals but not the shoes, or the leather bags and the luxurious leather chairs and other accessories.
This is because He has given humanity the opportunity to leverage our creative abilities to optimise and maximise the good use of everything in our environment for the purpose of creating valuable products and services that can transform human lives for the best and contribute to the sustainability of the environment.
✍️This brings me to my next point; according to historical stories, in the nineteenth century the Commissioner of the U.S. Patent Office wanted to shut down the organization. He supposedly proclaimed; “Everything that can be invented has been invented.”
However, with the benefit of hindsight history has proved his statement to be short-sighted because of the amount of inventions recorded post 19th century.
✍️ From the foregoing, it is apparent that the Power of Creativity and Optimization can only be sustained through an ongoing process of continuous monitoring and improvement in anticipation of changing circumstances, market demands and environmental conditions.
This is the reason why you were not born to Fit in, but to become a Positive Influence on your environment. The moment you want to Fit in, you begin to lose your Uniqueness and Creative Abilities.
✍️The Power of Creativity and Optimisation enables you to develop an Entrepreneurial Mindset that can empower you to identify human needs and reach out to solve them in a sustainable manner.
📌One Generation plants the Seed, the Next plays in the shade.” Chinese Proverbs
✍️This brings me to my next point; from the Maslow’s Hierarchy of needs, humans are motivated to fulfill their needs in a hierarchical order. This order begins with the most basic needs such as food, water, air, shelter, before moving on to more advanced needs:👇
🥇Therefore, the moment you stop leveraging your creative potentials for problem solving, and optimisation. You will stop growing and evolving to the Best Version of yourself (Self Actualisation).
✍️This brings me to another point; Human beings are creatures of continuous evolution (motivated by the pursuit of different levels of needs) and the adaptation to changing environmental, political, economic, social and geopolitical influences.
Hence, every industrial revolution has leveraged the Power of Creativity and Optimisation to tackle the human needs and the challenges that are peculiar to that generation; from hunting for survival, to trade by barter and the wars for the control of lands and slaves (labour force) for agriculture. To the invention of machines and engines that reduced the dependency on manual labour.
✍️This transition included going from hand production methods to the invention and the use of machines to optimise the method of production, processing (through the establishment of factories) and distribution (facilitated by steam engine transportation).
This transition from the Agricultural Revolution to the Industrial Revolution contributed to the decline in the economic benefits of the slave trade and the reliance on manual labour.
✍️ Furthermore, the second Industrial Revolution, was a period of global transition of the human economy towards more widespread, efficient and stable manufacturing processes that succeeded the Agricultural Revolution.
Hence, human beings have evolved from the period of manual labour driven by the Agricultural Age through the Industrial Revolution to the current Digital Revolution characterised by Artificial Intelligence and Smart Technologies.👇
✍️This brings me to my final point, the future Industrial Revolutions will be driven by the Power of Creativity and Optimisation conceived in the Human Mind.
This is because you must allow your mind to evolve from Conventional Methodology and thinking to the birthing of Future Possibilities through Creative Thinking and Optimisation, before you can produce valuable solutions that the solve problems which are relevant to the new dispensation (Age of Disruptive Technologies).
📌This reminds me of the amazing statement from the former US President Robert F Kennedy, “Some men see things as they are and ask, “Why?” I dream things that never were and ask, “Why not?”
✍️Therefore, the Evolution of the Human Mind by leveraging the Power of Creativity and Optimisation will play a significant role in pushing the boundaries to boost Productivity, Efficiency and Sustainability.
It will also facilitate the adaptation of Revolutionary and Disruptive Technologies for either the sustainability or destruction of the ecosystem. As well as the advancement or extinction of the human race.
📌The former British Prime minister, Winston Churchill once said that, “The empires of the future will be empires of the mind.”

Welcome to the month of August. This month will be filled with exciting and inspiring episodes of your weekly Newsletter, so please make sure you have subscribed to avoid missing out.
In today’s newsletter I am going to share with you some valuable insights on the topic l have titled, “The Culture of Excellence.”
So grab your drink, relax and enjoy the ride with me🤝
✍️I will like to open this discussion with a quote from the Greek Philosopher who was very famous for his teachings during the 4th century BC (Before Christ) and was regarded as one of the most influential philosophers to have ever lived, Aristotle, “We are what we repeatedly do; Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”
✍️This brings me to my first point, how we do anything in life is an indication of how we do everything because to achieve Excellence in Great things, you have to develop Excellence in small things.
My favourite book says, “If then you have not been faithful in the unrighteous wealth, who will entrust to you the true riches? And if you have not been faithful in that which is another’s, who will give you that which is your own?“
✍️ During the last FIFA World Cup, most of us watched in awe as the Japanese fans and teams cleaned the stadium at the end of their matches. This is a great example of the Culture of Excellence demonstrated as a result of the Fundamental Principles and Values of the Japanese Culture.
✍️This brings me to my next point; the Pathway to Excellence is paved with self-discipline, respect, gratitude, self-motivation, and sometimes disappointments, delayed gratification, and no reward or recognition.
This is because the Culture of Excellence can only be built and sustained through a strong determination and the willingness to always be excellent, diligent, reliable, considerate, and ethical whilst deploying your services and relating with others whether in business or personal life.
This reminds me of my dad’s mantra, “It is becoming increasingly difficult to be honest and sincere. The honest man in our society today is lonely and unpopular, but he is happy with peace in his heart.”
✍️This brings me to my main point, In any organisational structure, the Culture of Excellence in Leadership should start from the boardrooms to the shop floors (top-down strategy).
This is because it takes a clear Vision and a Mission that is backed by the willingness and sincere efforts to remain focused on the core values and the strategic vision of the organisation, especially during crisis, to build and sustain the Culture of Excellence, Sustainability, Value Innovation and Continuous Improvement.
✍️Furthermore, the Culture of Excellence demands that on both personal and organisational levels there should be a commitment to continuous learning and development to maximise the individual talents and potentials and evolve into the Best Version, collectively as a team.
In the words of Alvin Toffler, “The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.”
✍️For instance on the cooperate level, leaders can demonstrate continuous learning and sustainable development by integrating environmental, social and governance (ESG) awareness into the vision and the strategic organisational plans to facilitate the understanding of ESG and the UN Sustainability Development Goals (SDG) among the workforce.
This will help to reduce greenhouse emissions by creating more awareness about the impact of the organisation’s products and services to the environment, as well as beyond the products design lifetimes.
✍️Furthermore, this strategy will drive employees’ commitment to deploying Renewable and Sustainable Design Solutions for the production of goods and services that are environmentally friendly with the added benefit of reducing the organisation’s carbon footprint and enhancing the value chain and overall organisational performance.
However, to ensure that everybody in the organisation has the opportunity to make valuable contributions, the leadership should ensure that the organisational structure does not hinder effective communication, especially from the shop floors to the boardroom (bottom-up communication structure) and vice versa.
✍️This means that the project teams need to be motivated and allowed to explore innovative ideas, and take calculated risks to achieve a Culture of Excellence through optimised and sustainable solutions by learning from both their successes and failures.
In the words of Aristotle, “Excellence is never an accident. It is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, and intelligent execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives – choice, not chance, and it determines your destiny.”
✍️ This brings me to my next point, the Culture of Excellence encourages healthy competitions, especially when there is a level playing field that can inspire Excellence through innovation, sustainability, value creation, value capture and value distribution across the ecosystem and value chain.
This is what I consider as the Blue Ocean environment where the fishes (organisations and individuals) have the opportunity to thrive by maximising their potentials through creativity, value innovation and collaborations both within and outside the ecosystem to unlock demands and serve more customers
It has been said that individual players can win medals and awards, but it takes a team to win the championship 🏆 because the team work makes the dream work.
✍️ However, it is appalling when competitions become a bloody war in which the winner grabs it all by every unfair means possible.
Hence, in contrast to the Blue Ocean, the Red Ocean environment is dominated by the Big Sharks (organisations or individuals) who survive by feeding on other fishes and destroying the ecosystem. In other words, the Red Ocean environment does not foster a Culture of Excellence and Sustainability because organisations survive in this environment by focusing on crushing the competition and creating a monopoly that raises the barriers to entry into the market. And this can frustrate and destroy start-ups with valuable business models and strategies.
Similarly, In the Red Ocean workplaces you will find employees who climb the Cooperate Ladder by throwing their colleagues under the bus and backstabbing them (literally), in order to meet their personal KPI and get the recognitions and awards without acknowledging those that helped them.
✍️This brings me to the final point, the Culture of Excellence in both business and personal life, is built and sustained by leveraging individual talents and potentials to work collaboratively within the ecosystem and thrive collectively just like a fishes 🐟 in water💦 by becoming the Best at what we do and contributing to the sustainability of the environment.
In conclusion, to become the Best Version of yourself requires that you should leverage the Culture of Excellence and Sustainability to build the habit for performance improvement and consistency, without lowering your value system to accommodate mediocrity or destroy other people and the ecosystem for personal gains.
“A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches, loving favor rather than silver and gold.” Book of Proverbs
We admire Excellence and Success (Great Names & Brands) but often forget that the Big Shots are those who have maximised their potentials by failing many times and rising to become the Best Version of themselves, because they kept shooting without giving up until the arrow hits the target 🎯
📌At this point, permit me to ask you, “What actions will you take today to create a Culture of Excellence that will discourage unhealthy competitions by focusing on value innovation and sustainable developments through a mindset shift in your organisation or personal life?”

I would like to welcome you to the second quarter of 2024 and to the July edition of your motivating, inspiring and life-changing Newsletters, Podcasts, and other creative content.
✍️In today’s episode, I will discuss with you the topic I titled, ”The Power To Decide.”
I would like to start by saying that the results most people have experienced in life were predominantly determined by the cycles of decisions and choices they have made, which could be either good or bad.
✍️Therefore, ”The Power To Decide”, is one of the most valuable, liberating and empowering gifts human beings possess. Hence, the Freedom of Choice became the major reason why Democracy seems to be the most popular and preferred form of government in many nations.
✍️This brings me to my main point; The Power To Decide or the Freedom of Choice is a fundamental Universal Law that can empower you to make Personal Decisions and become Responsible for the Results in your life.
📌In the words of the late Architect, Author, Philosopher and Futurist Buckminster Fuller, ”We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.”
This brings me to my next point; as a leader creating an enabling environment that encourages your team to take advantage of Their Powers To Decide, would empower them to be more creative, productive, and contribute to the overall success of the company.
This is because of the benefits that great ideas and quick decision-making will bring to an environment, which is capable of cutting through the noise of bureaucracy.
✍️However, imagine working or living under a condition where you cannot take advantage of the Power to make Personal Decisions or exercise your Freedom of Choice, probably due to Incarceration, Ignorance, Procrastination, or bad leadership.
In the case of Incarceration, the Freedom of Choice and the Power To Decide are often taken away from those who are confined within the physical walls of the prisons, or those trapped as prisoners in their minds.
The story of trans-Atlantic slavery is a good example of the case of Incarceration because the slaves were stripped of their Freedom and human dignity.
Moreover, even though slavery was abolished, there are still many people, especially within the BAME communities who are still victims of mental slavery, colonialism, bad governance and leadership.
This is mainly due to limiting beliefs and disempowering ideologies and policies that have kept them captives and unable to take full advantage of the freedom of choice and the power to make decisions that can positively transform their lives.
📌My favourite book says, ‘’Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free’’
✍️This brings me to my next point; the Power to make Personal Decisions and take responsibilities that will positively transform someone’s life could be hindered by IGNORANCE.
I like how Marcus Garvey puts it, “We are going to emancipate ourselves from mental slavery because whilst others might free the body, none but ourselves can free the mind.”
📌My favourite book says, ‘‘My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge’’
📌 ”The man who does not read has no advantage over the man who cannot read.” Mark Twain
Hence, those who know will always rule over those who do not, by taking advantage of the knowledge gaps.
In the Digital Age the gap between the rich and the poor will significantly increase due to the feudal system created by the Knowledge-based Economy and driven by Digital colonisation and disruptions.
The growing polarization between the rich and the poor, the slaves and the masters will be facilitated through disruptive technologies, disruptive business models and strategies that will displace companies and individuals who fail to upskill and adapt to emerging technologies.
📌In the words of the late Author, Philosopher and Futurist Alvin Toffler, ‘‘The illiterate of the 21st century will not be those who cannot read and write, but those who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn.”
✍️This brings me to my final point; the Power to make Personal Decisions and take responsibilities that can positively transform someone’s life could be hindered by Procrastination because the Procrastinator is not better than the Ignorant.
Furthermore, continuous improvement is always better than delayed perfection, because the speed of execution transforms knowledge into positive results.
📌In the words of the former British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, ”Perfection is the enemy of progress.”
✍️Hence, the Procrastinator believes that knowledge is power. However, I want you to remember that it is only the Applied Knowledge that produces transformative power.
In conclusion, on both personal and corporate levels, the power of your decisions can have significant positive or negative impacts in your life and the lives of the people that are dependent on you.
On the corporate and business levels, the power of decision could mean the survival or the sinking of an organisation. Likewise, on a personal level, the power of decision could mean the success or failure of an individual.
✍️This notwithstanding, the cost of indecision has more dire consequences, because whenever you decide without procrastination, you will have the opportunity to use the feedback from your result for iteration and continuous improvement until you get the perfect result.
As a parting question, I would like to ask, ‘‘What are you going to do today with your Power To Decide or the Freedom of Choice that can make a valuable impact in your life and the lives of others?”
This reminds me of the words from the sage, ”One generation plants the seed, the next plays in the shade.”
✍️I would like to invite you to join the Limitless Potential Global Community, we will help you to build a resilient mindset that will enable you to navigate the challenges of life and bounce back from setbacks.
However, if you are currently facing diverse challenges, don’t forget that no condition is permanent. 💯
✍️Sometimes life gets worse before it can get better, because every Harvest is the product of a Seed that was planted by burying it in the soil. Hence, there will be seasons in life where you will experience short-term pain before you can have a long-term bumper Harvest.
✍️And just as the Phoenix 🐦🔥 rose from the ashes, you too can Rise and Bounce back from your setbacks.
✍️ Therefore, no matter how many times you have failed, if you can look up, you will surely rise again💪
📌Success is to be measured not so much by the position that one has reached in life, as by the obstacles which he has overcome while trying to succeed”Booker T. Washington.
🤔 It is never too late to Reinvent Yourself. Therefore never allow failure or setbacks to become your Self-identity, because it is only an event in your life.
📌In the words of the former British Prime minister Winston Churchill, “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.”
✍️Do you know that your Potential to Succeed is Limitless and your Ability to Conquer your Challenges is Infinite?
📌Just like the fish 🐟 was created to survive and thrive in the water.
✍️ Likewise, you have the Unlimited Potential to Bounce back from setbacks, by leveraging those setbacks as opportunities for major turnaround.🫶
📌 “Every adversity, every failure, every heartache carries with it the seed of an equal or greater benefit.” Napoleon Hill
📌“Circumstances don’t make the man, they only reveal him to himself.” Epictetus
📌If you have never failed, you have never tried anything new.” Albert Einstein
📌”Every Failure is a Lesson. If you’re not willing to Fail, You’re not Ready to Succeed.”
📌You never know how strong you’re, until being Strong is your Only Choice
📌 “Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in Rising every time we fall.” Confucius

One of the famous lines from William Shakespeare’s classic book Hamlet is, ‘’To Thine Own Self Be True’’
Today’s episode is titled ‘’The Power of Small Improvements in Shaping Self-Identity”, and you can listen to the Podcast with this link: https://shorturl.at/5wJd9.
I want you to go and grab a cup of tea and relax, whilst I take you to an amazing, intellectual, authentic, engaging and inspiring conversation. So, let’s get started.
✍️I would like to start by giving you the background to why I am motivated to share this episode with you.
One of the major turning points in my life was in 2020 during the lockdown. The lockdown enabled me to spend more time with myself and get acquainted with my strengths, fears and insecurities.
And guess what? most people had similar experience during that period.
However, I decided to find a solution to overcome my negative emotions and stay positive amid so much negative news and challenges. That was when my journey of self-discovery and self-mastery by leveraging the Power of Small Improvements through continuous personal development started.
✍️I have read many books, listened to thousands of hours of motivational messages and attended several seminars. And as I applied the principles, I learned I began to notice the gradual improvements in my circumstances and self-image.
And this incremental change was the result of becoming self-aware of my limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging decisions and actions.
✍️Moreover, the progress inspired me to focus on becoming the Best Version of myself, by leveraging the Power of Small Improvements and the Habit of Continous Personal Development or Kaizen (in the Japanese language).
This principle was popularised by James Clear in his Bestselling Book, ‘’Atomic Habits.’’
✍️ During that same period, I also discovered my passion to share and inspire others using the transformational principles that changed my life. This motivated me to start the Masterpiece Inspirations Podcast, Newsletter, and published a book that has transformed the lives of many people around the world.
As my gift to you, download a FREE copy of the ‘’Daily Positive Affirmations: The Self-Talk Therapy For Overcoming Challenges & Fear’’, using this link: https://linktr.ee/daillyaffirmations
✍️ This brings me to my main point, ‘’Do you know that how you see yourself (with respect to your Self-image and Self-identity) is more important than other people’s opinions of you?’’
When you see yourself as a Winner, very soon others will see you likewise, because you will always attract into your life the energy that is in alignment with your most dominant thoughts.
Conversely, when you see yourself as a Failure, very soon others will see you likewise.
✍️ In terms of how others see you, sometimes you cannot control the narrative, but it is your responsivity to choose not to be controlled by their negative opinions.
For instance, in some societies, people will define you through the lens of stereotypes, cultural bias, social class, and religious or political affiliations.
✍️ However, in the words of Jim Carrey, ‘’You stop explaining yourself when you realise people only understand from their level of Perception and Perspective.’’
✍️This brings me to my next point; the Power of Small Improvements through incremental changes to your Self-identity empowers you to overcome self-doubts and self-limiting beliefs, such as the following:
I am not good enough. Nobody loves me. I am a failure. I cannot succeed. And similar self-sabotaging and negative self-talk.
However, your feelings, emotions and mistakes are not the true reflection of your identity, because they are temporary and subject to change. To change these limiting beliefs, you must first see yourself as the Best Version of what you want to become.
✍️This is because your self-image and belief system compound to shape your Self-Identity and control your decisions and actions. This is the Power of Small Improvements because you cannot achieve any positive and lasting change to your life without first changing the way you think and see yourself.
‘‘For as he thinks in his heart, so is he.” Book of Proverbs
✍️Hence, it is your responsibility to apply the Power of Small Improvements to make continuous incremental positive changes to your life. Additionally, you have to leverage Positive Affirmations and Self-talk to create a Positive self-image that will lead to the Best Version of yourself.

I welcome you to a unique edition of your favourite newsletter♥️
As we are about to enter a new month, I am super excited to share with you a topic filled with principles from my personal experience, that is going to empower you to build the requisite capacity and momentum you will require to finish 2024 as a Champion over the limitations and challenges of life.
✍️ The topic of our conversation in today’s newsletter is “The Power of Resilience”, and I would like you to sit back and follow my trend of thought.
✍️ According to the American Psychological Association, the word Resilience refers to, “The process and outcome of successfully adapting to difficult or challenging life experiences, especially through mental, emotional, and behavioral flexibility and adjustment to external and internal demands.”
✍️This brings me to my main point; the Power of Resilience is developed through the process of cultivating a Possibility Mindset that embraces challenging life experiences as unprecedented opportunities to turn setbacks into major comebacks, rather than being paralysed by the fear of viewing them as insurmountable obstacles.
✍️In the words of Albert Einstein, “Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.”
✍️The first century renown scholar and author of the epistles James, said these words to his students regarding the Power of Resilience, “Consider it a sheer gift, friends, when tests and challenges come at you from all sides. You know that under pressure, your faith-life is forced into the open and shows its true colors. So don’t try to get out of anything prematurely. Let it do its work so you become mature and well-developed, not deficient in any way.”
✍️ This brings me to my next point; you have the Unlimited Potentials to turn your setback into opportunities for major comeback, because no matter how hard life hits, you can leverage the Power of Resilience to bounce back from setbacks.
However, your life can only be limited by your decisions especially if they are driven by the fears of self-imposed limitations such as limiting beliefs, self-doubt and all forms of self-sabotage.
“Every Failure is a Lesson. If you are not willing to Fail, You are not Ready to Succeed.”
“Everything you want is on the side of Fear.” George Addair
”I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Nelson Mandela
✍️Therefore, never let your inadequacies or the fears of your past mistakes and failures limit the Potential of your Future, because there are No Limits to what you can achieve in life, except the Limits you put on your Mind”
“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall. Don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, walk through it or work around it.” Michael Jordan
✍️ In the words of the pundit and global thought leader David Brooks, “Almost every successful person begins with two beliefs: the future can be better than the present, and I have the power to make it so.”
✍️ My favourable book says, “Even if I go through the deepest darkness, I will not be afraid, LORD, for you are with me. Your shepherd’s rod and staff protect me.”
