If the World was to END today?

Every experience God gives in our lives, is the perfect preparation for the future that only He can see.... An awesome quote that was part of my inspiration to write this post!!!

I would reflect this in 2 ways - business and personal.

Business:
Ever felt the urge to set up your own company, enterprise office etc.. The feeling of being self employed and calling the shots. Its an awesome feeling, BUT, and this is me learning the hard way - its NOT easy!!! If you expecting to get rich or work less and have loads of time in your hands - you're best sticking at employment for as long as that thought stands!!! I'm so serious about this, if there's one time you'll be broke, stressed committed to your work (with no recognition) is when you are truly self employed and goal is to succeed. I'm not trying to scare you but its a reality - hard work commitment loyalty persistence patience luck faith all play a huge role in your success. Must be wondering how does this relate to the title of this post - well part of being successful apart from not giving up is patience persistence that's always talked about. I remember when I had a fear to venture into anything even if its nothing that was conflicting interest of the company I work for I was just too scared - fear of loosing!!! Fear of not making it - its normal. Then came a friend who always inspired me by his style of management and he told me "Take a step a day, in 30 days you'll have taken 30 steps." Made loads of sense. Look back - after just a month you will truly be 30 steps ahead. Even if you just design your company logo, print business cards or just register a domain - that's already a step to your success - remain focused!!

Personal:
One thing iv learnt from someone special (whose identity will remain confidential) Apart from being my best friend has been my life teacher - Live life filled with love, no regrets and forgive a lot. I was reminded by the same person if God can forgive why can't we humans rather who are we not to? Another thing I was told and I'm proud to share it with you is in whatever you do in your life, always remember there's death!! DEATH where by you can't control it, postpone, reverse it or even escape it. Learn your purpose in life and live by it. The least you can do is identify your family / friends, respect them, love them, and forgive everyone around you.
Life is too short to hold grudges or hurt someone intentionally - speak the truth no matter how painful, it'll pass and guess what? You'll be respected even if you kick the bucket at this minute. Again I'm not trying to scare you - if there's 1 thing I fear apart from loosing, is DEATH!!!n I don't like hearing any death news of someone I know... But look at it this way, can I really avoid it? What is left to do is treat everyday as being your last. Thank God every minute you can for your life, forgive every minute one has wronged you, ask for forgiveness to those you have wronged. Smile, appreciate your life and being... Lastly - u r born with a purpose and you are unique in your own way!!! NO one has control of creatures and as God is the all knowing the most merciful and the most gracious he has made you just perfect!!!! Respect your family love the people around you and be the one that spreads the positive attitude to all in the room.

Just be YOU don't lose your real self in the search of acceptance by others...
