MAKE UP YOUR MIND....you must make up your mind that you must make it in life...this is the first decision you must take...be determined...

DON'T WAIT FOR A PUSH...Remove your eyes from looking around, seeking for somebody to push you around, now that you are determined, go for what you want, don't wait for any motivation from anybody...in other words, don't wait for somebody to motivate you before you make a move...i'd tell you, the best way to be motivated and move on in life is by first of all being self motivated or inspired...

HAVE A TARGET...I'd tell you a man without a dream or focus would be wandering and confused in life..you must set a goal and pursur it with all thy might and strength, coupled with enthusiasm and optimism...

CHALLENGES...Ofcourse, be prepared to face the biggest confrontations in life...you that came from a very low family background, be rest assured that your challenges would tripple the man who came from a wealthy family background...so, you must fasten your seat belt because the road indeed would be rough...have this at the back of you mind, so you won't be taken unawares when the challenges starts coming...

BELIEVE IN YOURSELF...Yes, you must first of all believe in yourself that you must make it, infact, this was supposed to come first...if you miss it here, you'd miss it all....

BELIEVE IN GOD...Yeah, i decided to make this one the last because all the things i 've listed up there are centered on yourself believe and God, you must first believe in yourself before you believe in God otherwise when the challenges starts pouring, you might want to opt out...no wonder the bible said that faith without work is dead...work and faith go in paripasu...

Hope this helps someone somewhere...

Seun, lalasticlala help somebody somewhere...

Belief in yourself along side prayer and watch yourself emanating into hero.

true...very true.
btw...
BE CAREFUL

The name of the rat that harbours the virus that causes lassa fever is called multimammate rat( because it has many nipples like all these local street dogs after delivery). While the botanical name is mastomys natalensis.

There is also an upsurge of the disease everywhere. So we should all practice hand washing hygiene. Also all apple lovers should wash them with salt and warm water before refrigerating them to eat. Our wives should avoid testing of dry garri by chewing them for starch in the market. All garri soakers should let go for now.

The problem is that most of our garri sellers in the market buy their garri from bush markets. These garri are often fried half dry and are subsequently dried on polythene sheets on the tarred roads or compounds in the villages. These rat dive in at will, to feed their hungry bellies and in the process defecate and urinate on the garri, which dry up with it. If used for Eba, the virus may die because of the hot water used. But if soaked, the virus is directly ushered in. Please no one should joke with this precaution, except you process your cassava yourself.

It is not your fault that you were born poor. But. It's gonna be your big fault if you die poor. -Bill Gates 2018

Hmm

To me ! That is not an excuse in making it big in life... Determination and prayer is all that matters in pursuing success .

Ok

Stay focussed
Don't steal
Obey the ten commandments

people who have failed will tell you you cant do it, they will say its impossible!

1) Believe in the Living God

2) Dream big and Anchor it on faith

3) Never entertain fear

4) develop self confidence

5) develop a positive mindset - our mind emits what Mother nature attracts to us.
