‘When life is stressful, when you have a setback in your finances, or when you’re struggling with depression, don’t let those negative thoughts drown out what God promised.’- Joel Osteen

Things happen. We cannot control everything. We cannot control what other people are going to do to us.

We cannot control what other people are going to say about us. We cannot control what life is going to put in front of us. It is okay.

That is why we are here. We are not here to live a boring life, or to do boring things. We are here to grow, to make a difference.

We can do it. Yes, fear will try to tell you that you are not good enough, that you do not have what it takes to get ahead, that you are too poor to know what you want, or that you are not educated enough.

Fear can say what fear wants to say. But is your own responsibility to stay focused on what really matters to you.

When things are not going well, that is when you should never give up. When you are facing financial issues, that is when you should never give up.

When you are alone, when no one sees you, when no one cares about you, when you are depressed, that is when you should bet even more on yourself.

Because when things are not going well, all you have is you. Do not expect people to cheer you up. They are not going to do it. Why?

Because you have not done anything big yet. But don’t give up. Just keep doing what you are doing. Your time will come.

As always, you are more, not less!

Do These Three Things When Change Is Calling

Whether we are comfortable with it or not, change is here to stay. It is not going anywhere.

Instead of fighting change, you have got to get comfortable with being uncomfortable.

When it comes to change, you have got to be comfortable with it. You have got to make yourself comfortable with change. Because life is change. And change is life.

If you are not changing, then you are resisting it. Don’t do that, my friend. Because resisting change is not the way forward.

The only way forward, no matter how tough, how difficult, is to embrace change. It is to say, ‘Change, I am all in.’ Because change is always calling.

When it calls, don’t say no. When you say no to change, you are saying no to life, to your growth, to your success.

When it calls, pick up the phone. Do not say, ‘I am not ready, I can’t.’ Embrace it.

You are embracing change when you are not scared to change your mind, when you are open to new opportunities.

You are embracing change when you are not intimidated by your own mind, when you are willing to take a calculated risk.

When change is calling you, don’t resist it. Follow it. Explore it. Lean into it. And learn from it.

When change is calling, do not say, ‘I am okay. I do not want to deal with change right now.’ If you do, you are promoting the status quo. You are just hiding behind your fears.

You do not want to face your reality. And that is what change is all about. It is about facing reality.

When you are faced with a major change in your life, don’t resist it. Don’t get upset. Don’t get depressed. Don’t fill your life with change resisters. It won’t help you.

Because change will never stop calling you. The best solution is to pick up the phone, is to say, ‘yes, I am here.’ The question is, ‘Will you?’
