NOT ONLY ONE ROAD

“It is not only one road that leads to the market” (Nigeria)

As a trader, you cannot confidently say that you know the market if you know only one road that leads to the market. Your knowledge of the market can be determined by the various means that you can navigate the market.

Also in life, you cannot achieve ultimate success if you continually use the same approach towards solving problems. How would you know that there are other better approaches if you keep trying one approach? No matter how successful you are in life, you are not fully successful if you know only one route to success. There are several good ways that lead to success; all you need to keep being successful is to explore all the ways. The good thing about being versatile is that if one approach fails, you have other amazing options to explore.

As from today, always try to know more than what you think you know about whatever you do. Explore and research on several methods that can work for you. Instead of giving up on your dreams, try to think of other possible means of getting what you desire. May you walk and never stumble!

DON’T HURRY THE NIGHT!

“Do not hurry the night; the sun will always rise for its sake (Eritrea)

There are some things that you can’t change in life; they are just natural. There is time for the day and there is time for night. No matter how hard you try, you can never hurry the natural time. You can only hurry or delay your time, not the natural time. So, there is a personal time and there is a natural time. No matter how you view it, the night remains the night and the day will continue to be the day. 

Whatever challenge you face in life, you don’t need to hurry the night, your sun will soon rise. Though it may appear to be dark for too long, always remember that the sun must rise. No matter how dark it is for you today, remember that the darkest hour of the night is the closest to dawn. Don’t worry, don’t panic, never be in a hurry, your dawn is here.

As you go out this week, don’t do anything in haste; take your time, pay attention to details and wait for the right time to do whatever that you wish to do. Don’t hurry the night, wait for your time!

ARE YOU KIND ENOUGH?

“Kindness dies out if it is not observed by both sides” (Uganda)

Before relating with anyone today, ask yourself ‘am I kind enough?’

Over the years, your creator had been so kind to you for giving you the gift of life (even in many situations that you prove to Him that you do not deserve to live). No matter how bad, evil, cruel, hostile and ungrateful you are, He keeps extending His kindness to you. When last did you thank Him for His kindness?

The best way for you to reciprocate His kindness is to be kind to others. Don’t wait until people show you love before you believe that love exists. Nothing stops you from being the first person to show the world that true love exists. Show love to the people around you today. When last have you told your parents, partner, friends, siblings, spouse, employers, clients or neighbours that you love them or that you really appreciate them for being part of your life?

Do you say ‘thank you’ to your maids, employees, cook, drivers, teachers and many other people who offer you quality services? Try it this week and see how it works. Remember, ‘kindness dies out if it is not observed by both sides’.
