My wish is that you will have a happy Monday.
Many people will confess that the most fruitful times in their lives were when they were down and experiencing extreme hardship. This is one of the ironies of life that hardship should build in us characteristics that shape and mold us.
Am I suggesting that we should desire hardship in our lives? No way. When we set new goals and desire to reach new and higher heights then accomplishing these goal will provide the necessary challenges. A man who set a goals that provides no perceivable challenge is little better than a lazy man. A man who set a goal that is seemingly impossible is a courageous man because he initially begins by facing his fears and he is willing to take on the impossible.
The solutions we seek are not often as difficult as we believe because it is only when we begin that door begin to open and opportunities become present. Many time the door are open and waiting but even had we entered we would have no use for the opportunities.
This week I challenge you to continue working on one of your impossible dreams and if you have none why not start doing something that you fantasize you doing.

Keep pressing on
My wish is for you to have a super great Monday.
If you have been trying to find a way to fulfill you dreams and visions and the way is difficult then you are traveling a marvelous road. All you now need to do is learn to enjoy the journey and not get angry, frustrated, discouraged or despair. If success comes too quickly then you will stop making an effort too soon.
Did you make adequate preparation before you begin chasing your dream or your vision? Maybe you are the person who take life one day at a time. Still a failure to plan means that life will just ,
move you along and sooner or later you will end up nowhere. Make sure that you have the right equipment to see you to the end of the road.
Life has many persons who dream of glory and that means attempting to climb the highest mountain peaks. There are those persons in life that has been to the mountain top so many times that now they have become guides to those desiring to reach the highest peaks. There is nothing wrong with having a guide as you progress up the mountain.
Still if you decide to make it on your own or blaze new paths be conscious of the danger involved. However facing danger may be the path to glory.
Go out this week and make great things happen.

Sowing our thoughts and ideas
My wish as always is that you will have a Happy Monday.
One of the eternal principles known to man is that where there is no sowing there will be no reaping. My father was a farmer and one of the things he taught me was to know when to plant the various crops. He also selected the best seeds to plant because for him farming was the means by which he earned his livelihood and supported his family.
One of the interesting things I learned about farming was that it came with many unpredictable and uncontrollable circumstances. Sometimes although everything was done right the crops failed. At other times for no explainable reason there is a super harvest. Farming is risky investment but it certainly bring joy.
All of us do not consider ourselves as farmers but all of us have thoughts and ideas and for those of us that envision wealth and prosperity our ideas will have to serve as the seeds that we plant toward these goals. One of the things I learned in farming is that many plants that I thought did not have seeds did have seeds and those seeds remain in the ground for years waiting for the right conditions to grow.
There are such circumstance which necessitated continuous sowing irrespective of whether the conditions are ideal or not and so too are our ideas. Some ideas serving as seeds immediately die because the soil is not right, other lay dormant in the ground waiting for the right conditions to grow while other grow and flourish immediately.
If we are to create our own wealth then you and I have to begin sowing our thoughts and ideas. The fascinating thing is this we do not know which idea will immediately grow and begin to bear fruit. We should also bear in mind that sowing and harvesting does not occur at the same time.
Begin sowing those thoughts and ideas today.

Forward march
My wish for you is that this will be a Happy monday.
Mondays are exciting because it brings with it a chance for a new beginning. Changes can occur anytime and anyplace but Mondays allows for the plotting the path for the coming week. This is somewhat based on the calendar that is presently in use.
One of the elements that should be avoided as we look at new beginnings is that of covetousness. Covetousness is essentially thinking that the other persons is too good for him but in our possession it would enhance our prestige. All we need is to set our standards of expectation higher and look at our own source of motivation.
One of the biggest hindrance that many persons face presently is being told to be content in their present state. This is especially tough when many persons see no end to the possibilities that exists within their scope. It is a rare few that really want to see you surpassing their achievement.
This week be not content to fit into the mold that others have cast for you but look at the endless possibilities that is before and begin a forward march.

Moving forward
My wish is that this will be for you a super great and Happy Monday.
Quite often you may have listened to a motivational speaker telling you that if you want to develop speed then you have got to learn to run with the horses. The thing is however that some of us are not built for speed but our strengths lies somewhere else. This will not affect our ability however to become great and successful. The thing to do then is to know where your strength lies and develop that strength so that you become the best.
As humans all of us carry multiple generations of genes from both parents and no one know what genes will become dominant in our live. This allows us to be different from our parents while at the same time being like our parents because we learn from them.
In life we all have to determine who we are and work on our strengths. History continue to produce great men and women without there being a real formula for being great. Motivators try to move you toward being great but you have to know where your true calling lies.
I like the advice to pursue what comes to you naturally but at the same time not to ignore those that see potential and possibility in you. If you are going to follow a formula for success make sure that formula is one for your calling. There are countless formulas for success floating out there.
This week pursue what comes to you naturally but do not ignore the advice of others.

MY wish for you as usual is that you will have a Happy Monday.
Time it is said waits for no man and while many persons wait for the right time the years silently slip by. Life does not give any instrument to measure the appropriateness of the moment neither is there any surety of success to reward our efforts. The reality is that life comes with a host of uncontrollable factors and no one is ever adequately prepared for these uncontrollable factors.
There are seasons in life however and it is our responsibility to recognize and capitalize on these seasons. The reality is that the probability of thing going right as a result of our efforts is far greater than that of nothing happening. Even in failure there are benefits but a person does not need to look on failure but the person can dream of success.
Now is the season to pursue dreams and aspire to reach the stars so move forward to achieveing great things in 2015.

Happy New Year
My wish is that you will have a Happy New year and that you are having a Happy Monday.
There is a saying that any dead fish can float downstream but it takes a live fish to swim upstream. 2015 is here and day by day it will go by. If targets and goals are not set then it becomes a case of going nowhere and at the end of the year that is exactly where a person could end up, nowhere.
This year no one is stop you and I from setting nobler goals than those of 2014. No one is stopping you and I from aiming to reach the stars. If the stars appear to be too far then aim for the top of the trees.Some persons will easily discover that the trees are just too close and require no effort to reach their top. They need to aim higher.
Desire attracts opportunity and effort attracts energy.
At the start of this year 2015 your resolve will be tested. Circumstances will seriously test how much you want what you desire in 2015 and once satisfied that you are serious circumstances will make the necessary provisions.
Go forward into 2015 and achieve great things.
