What are you scared of? Are you scared of other people’s opinions of you? Are you scared of life? No, you should be scared of life. Why is that? Because life is full of issues. Life is full of opportunities. Do not be scared of life. Life is for you to live. And to live it well, you must believe in your life. Life is hell when you do not believe in your life, when you do not know what you are doing, when you are just going with the flow, when you are confused.

“Life is hell when you do not believe in yourself.”

The only thing you can do about what you cannot control is to accept it.

You are unique. But just know that you cannot control everything . Just control what you can control. And do not let what you cannot control stop you from challenging life. If you are to succeed in your life, you will never stop fighting life. Because life is all about fight. You must fight for whatever you want. And there is nothing you cannot get if you are willing and ready to fight. If you are willing to fight, you will succeed. And success is not an event. Sucess is a process. Success takes time to achieve. If you want to succeed, you must cultivate the courage to walk alone.

“Success is not an event.”

Terence once said, “I am the most concerned in my own interests.” Yes, you are you. And you are here to make your life a masterpiece. If you cannot do it right now, do not give up. Keep going. Keep fighting. Keep living. And keep loving!

“Success is a journey.”

God Has Raised You Up

In the book of Romans 9:17, “For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I may show My power in you, and that My name may be declared in all the earth.”

You have been lifted up. Do not put yourself down. Be nice to yourself. Respect yourself. Value yourself. Don’t compete with other people. Compete with yourself. Why? Because God puts you here for a purpose. God wants you to achieve your purpose. If you compete with other people, you will miss your own dreams. You will miss your own purpose. You will miss your own life.

You can change that by taking responsibility for your own purpose. God loves responsible people. God is working on your behalf. God is fighting your serious battles on your behalf. All you need to do is to believe in Him. Give thanks to Him. And He will protect you from your fears.

God wants you to enjoy your life. You do that by taking responsibility for your own life. God can’t do everything for you. But He will be ready to help you when you are in serious trouble. When you are in serious trouble, talk to God. When things are not working for you, don’t run to man, run to God. Because He loves you. And He can change your life.
