PREFACE
The realms of the spirit and physical have been designed to

perpetually speak to humans. The trees speak, so does the wind.
The sea speaks and the sky has never been quite. Each night, the
moon sings a song and the sun at day tells and makes history. These
voices most often come as inspirations to the mind. The mind
without inspiration is incapacitated.
Revelation from the spiritual realm and motivation from the

physical, called earth, are all meant to eventually inspire man
through his mind. So, it is dangerous for anyone who wants to go
far in life to leave the mind void of inspirations. The purpose of
this edition of Inspiration for Impact is to keep your mind alive,
and propel you to make positive impact.
Some of the writings in this short pages book have been inspired from
reading Knock-out Entrepreneurs; George Forman. The Power of Thinking
Big by John C Maxell. Idea Rules the World by Sam Adeyemi. In Touch
with the Future by Oyejide Ayodele James
The eyes are useless when the mind is blind. Give sight to your mind;
stay always inspired. That’s one way to beat the odds of life.
Be inspired, Make Impact!

VISION
Vision structures our lives
It is imperative for me to start on this note because vision like someone said, adds
value to everything. On our journey to destiny, we are confronted with the decisions
to make choices. We are faced with planned and unplanned circumstances contending
with our time, we therefore need of necessity a guide, that keeps us focused and
defines our essence of living.
Vision structures our lives. Without vision, we will live our lives expending energy on
what doesn‟t matter and neglecting things that matters. We won‟t have a course to
fight for—no passion or motivation to join God in the business of making the best out
of our lives.
Without Vision, one will become destitute of inspirations, revelations and directions.
Vision is affiliated to purpose; it‟s more like a vector quantity with both magnitude
and direction. Many died living hard lives, some even had few achievements, but not
on their main purpose of existence, because they lack vision.
Motivation, inspiration and insight are nothing without well-structured vision. Vision
creates the passion to pursuing your revelation. When you are in touch with where
you hope to be in life through vision, circumstances that come your way on the
journey, negative or positive will inspire you rather than depress you.
It is necessary to say further that before a man can achieve great success, a vision for
the success is inevitable. To live your desires, you must set priorities and goals, but,
how then do you bring these into reality? Vision! That is what you need.
Vision strengthens your convictions, and without a conviction you are most likely to
fall for everything that comes your way.
Vision sets apart. It gives you your boundary and limit. Vision is the only reason you
can follow your heart. You don‟t eat everything the world is eating. You don‟t wear
what is hot in town. You don‟t say the slang of the season or go anywhere because
you have a sense of direction—a vision
Make impact
Vision is the eye to your future. Without a well spelt out view of
what you want to achieve in life, you might keep going for
everything. Your vision is your way out of pressure and intimidation.
Drive your life with vision.
INTEGRITY
Integrity is essential to drive our vision to its destination in life.
"Integrity means being true to ourselves and being honest, upright, and decent in our
dealings with others." When we are guided by integrity, our thoughts and words are
in line with each other; our actions align with our principles. Our conduct speaks for
us, more eloquently than words ever could.
Men of integrity can be counted on to stand up for what is right, even if it is

unpopular, and to behave with honor even when there is no one around to see.
Integrity is the ability to admit you don‟t know a thing and that you are wrong when
you notice it. It is also the ability to stand for what you believe irrespective of
opinions or schools of thoughts.
One of the most admirable attributes of men of integrity is that they do their best.
They are punctual, active, swift, smart, easy to teach and skillful. Men of integrity live
and die for a believed course. Circumstances don‟t change them, they change it. They
don‟t live by style but by standard.
Time is paramount to men of integrity—they don‟t want you to keep a record of

anytime they didn‟t meet up with a fixed appointment. They tell the truth because
they don‟t bridge trust. Their yes is yes and no, no. They are stable and not divided in
thoughts and acts. They are same everywhere, not hypocrites or mediocre individuals.
Men of integrity are men who gain others attention almost all times. You won‟t want
to fail them; you know they won‟t fail you. They are not necessarily principled but
conscious of living a faultless life. It requires internal honesty, because we can‟t be
honest with others unless you are honest with yourself. It requires self-awareness, since
we cannot accurately communicate what we do not know.
Let me end this by saying; integrity allows other people to trust you because they
know that you value your commitments and seek to live by them. It is one of the
cornerstones of loving relationships and shared endeavors.
Make impact
You need to be intentional about living a life of unique standard. Be

more truthful in your dealing with others. Let your yes be yes, and no,
no. life will become more purposeful and interesting to you the moment
others can count on your words. You want to live a successful life? Live
a life of integrity; it attracts greatness.
TIME
Sometimes I wonder, what other thing could get humans’ daily attention like
those three tiny things that says the time.
Life is packaged by God as a function of time and season and we must learn to
understand and appreciate this. There is no one who can maximize his or her
potential without appreciating the value of time.
The difference between a success and a failure is in the use of their time. Everybody
gets twenty-four hours, but not everybody gets the same return on them. When you
manage your time, you manage your life. Wise people understand that time is their
most precious commodity so they know where their time goes to. Your time is your
“destiny”; the tomorrow you hoped for. Don‟t say I will wait for my time to come;
there might never be a specific time, so start doing something now. Stay in touch with
your future.
The three letter word M. A. N is „prerecord‟ or „preprogramed‟ by the creator as

Morning, Afternoon and Night which will form the basis for judging a man‟s activity
in a day. It is necessary to understand that time in itself has been embedded by God in
man and you have the choice to determine for yourself how you use it. Someone may
decide to have two nights and a day by sleeping through the morning and afternoon,
but to be complete in that name “man”, there is a need to understand and experience
the power of fulfilling the course of morning, afternoon and night.
In getting the best out of life, there is a need to understand and put to use principles
which bring out the best in the day and night. No matter how delight you live, if you
can‟t account for your time, not only will you not have time to enjoy the outcomes of
your labor; you also won‟t have the leisure to impact others.
Make impact
Judiciously investing every minute you have. The morning of each

day is precious; don’t shorten it by waking up late or messing
around. See the morning as the prime mover of each day. In all
you do, like Sam Leverson said, ―don’t watch the clock; do what
it does. Keep going― It’s that simple!
LIFE
Life is a school, we are pupils. The school of life is a must—you can’t choose to
study or not. You can only choose to fail or to succeed. O. A. James
Life is perhaps that only word I don‟t believe a dictionary has correctly defined; I
guess individual‟s experiences and conclusions will define it better.
Life is in phases and stages. And someone also stated “life is like a book with many
chapters; good and bad.” A good chapter isn‟t the end, neither is a bad one also the
end. Until you are done living, the chapters in life continue. So, don‟t give up. At
every phase and stage you found yourself, don‟t remain there; make another move.
It‟s not enough to live; leave.
Life is like a race and not all of us are on a track. Some people only wait on the sides
to distract. No your true companions. Life can be funny when it throws at you
challenges, but you become funnier when you do nothing for your good with those
challenges.
Simplify your life, but never settle for less. Do your best and take it one day at a time.
Never lose your patience over circumstances that are beyond your control. Instead,
try to identify things you can control; and do just that. Everything should be made as
simple as possible…but not simpler.
Onfucius once said “Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicate” don‟t
complicate your life; be focused—purpose driven.
Make impact
The best gift you have is your life. It is God’s sole responsibility
to give your life, but your responsibility to live the life. Your life
is a privilege: live it, guide it, fortify it, appreciate it and
become the best you can. Never forget; you must succeed in life
and it is your intentional choice.
THINK IT; START IT
Those who have come to print their names on the mind of men and foot on
sands of times are those who started it after thinking it.
If we will maximize our God given abilities, we will see that inside us as individual lies
monomer capable enough to create great links of physical actions. Aside the extreme
difference between those who use the power of their mind and those who don't,
what gives the outstanding success difference among those who create ideas is action.
We have too many beautiful ideas not going beyond our jotters and brain, and until
we take a step forward to actualize them, it won't matter how beautiful they sound;
they will end up a thought. Because no matter how scary a dog in a book looks, it
cannot bark; neither can a nicely sketched car, move.
Why you need to take action
Plan fails
Sometimes our plans fail, not because they are bad or must fail. Sometimes we fail
because we are doing something right wrongly, and more reason to start early. When
you step out to try, you would discover your errors early and have ample time to
make things better. Like a friend says, "You fail forward"
Idea fades
Have you ever thought of the need for patent, copyright and trademark? A simple
truth is that, if you can think it, it may take time, someone else can think it. If you can
do it, it may take time; someone else can do it and better. More so, ideas are
wonderful when meeting a unique need.
Make impact
There would have been nothing fascinating about earth if men who
had extraordinary ideas that made breakthrough had kept those
ideas only in a jotter or in their heads, without making any move. I
encourage you to visit those ideas written down over time. Think of
a way through and make your first move. So think it, start it—make
that move, make impact!
WHATEVER IT TAKES—PASSION
Every purpose requires an accompanying passion- Oyejide Ayodele James
Life is meaningful when we can realize our purpose in it. Life is a phase with all
manner of locations, conditions and concentrations. We therefore need to discover
our purpose to have a sense of direction—where, how, when and to what extent we
should take part in these earlier certified facts.
I want to assume you already discovered the purpose of your existence . That is, along
serving God, that assignment he wants you to do with your life in the while you live.
There are many who knows what they are living for but aren‟t ready to push on.
They know what God says they are but give up along the line. They let age, time and
circumstances take their intense enthusiasm to fulfill purpose.
Purpose fulfillment is a long term task; you need to give it whatever it takes. In the
Holy Bible, Genesis 20:29, “So Jacob worked seven years for Rachel. But it only
seemed like a few days, he loved her so much.” This man worked for seven years to
get a lover and he felt he had just worked few days. That is passion—going the extra
mile for a purpose no matter how long it takes. What is worth doing is worth doing
till it is done.
Mary Wesley was one of Britain‟s most successful novelists, selling three million copies
of her books, including 10 bestsellers. That sounds interesting. But it‟s more
flabbergasting to know that her first book was published when she was 70years old.
She died 20 years after. It can‟t be too late to develop a great passion to fulfill your
purpose.
Since all you do is about your purpose, give you job, studies, service, relationship,
career, fellowship amidst others whatever it takes to have them fulfilled, accomplished
and achieved. If you don‟t give up, we shall meet at the top.
As you give whatever it takes, remember it must be pious.
Make impact
Why most of our dreams die is because we lack passion to drive

them through. Thomas Edition through his passion gave the world an
electric bulb. Don’t start an endeavor you aren’t passionate about,
else, you will see discouragement in everything. Know why? Because
the odds of nature doesn’t want success to come that easily
Trouble for the lazy!
Perhaps, the most annoying side of the problems of lazy individuals is that
everyone gets to ridicule them.
The lazy soul has more trouble for his self than that which others bring upon him. The
earth is against him, so is the heaven against him. His inability to face challenges or
take responsibilities will not only make life frustrating for him but may lead him soon
to the grave.
The lazy man has no reward except the consequences of his sluggishness and vain
wishes. His attitude is an impediment to the actualization of the products of his God
given potentials. The scripture also has some things to say about a lazy man,
"No matter how much a lazy person may want something, he will never get it. A hard
worker will get everything he wants” Proverbs 13:4. It is so sad that even if you help
some people to the point of putting food on their table they still can‟t feed
themselves. This is not literal, it means that even if you give some people needed
resources and connections; they still will not want to go out of their comfort to think,
pray and make commitments; they only want readymade occurrences, which life
hardly brings.
Make impact
Don’t be like the Loafers who say, "It's dangerous out there! Tigers
are prowling the streets!" and then pull the covers back over their
heads.‖ Proverbs 26:13. The world of greatness has no space for
men who can’t pick a thing up and successfully finish it.

STOP COMPLAINING
The creator had just created the heavens and the earth, but there was a disturbing
situation on ground. The earth which has just been created was a soup of nothingness,
a bottomless emptiness, an inky blackness, that God's Spirit could not abode on it, so,
it brooded like a bird above the watery abyss.
In life we face situations that challenge our efforts and ideas like the thickly darkness
that made the creation of the earth a stage away from awesomeness. Challenges don‟t
appear because we are complacent, not destined for greatness or pray less. Challenge
for the man who can preserve is another route to success, because every challenge
carries in it a seed of solution. Great men have become great solving a particular
problem, or attending to.
What did God do? He opened his mouth and spoke, “Let there be light…” God didn‟t
complain. He instead thought a way out, and trust Him, there was light. How do you
handle situations that come your way in life?
May be you have complained much about what you don‟t have or haven‟t become,
my question is, “What plan have you presented to God in prayers? What idea have
you presented to men who you think may help? Nobody wants to help a man that
only complains and has no idea or plan, because they know he can‟t handle other
situations that will later come up.
How many of your problems have complaining solved? The man who spends his time
complaining about his situation should remember that some other people are taking
advantage of his situation to positively turn situation around for them.
Make impact
Challenges are inevitable part of life and we all have our share of it
one way or the other. What matters isn’t the situation or how long
you’ve gone through it, but what you do with it and how you come
out of it. Stop complaining, be proactive and active. ―You are only an
attitude away from success‖
Money
Success does not jump on humans; rather it is located, either by chance or
commitment. - Oyejide Ayodele James
Weather you desire to be rich or have connections and assets; it is most times about
having the right location. Success does not go about looking for anyone in life; you
will have to walk on its path. It is possible to have opportunities come your way, but
you can only realize and utilize them when you remain on the right path.
God doesn‟t force success on anyone; He instead does His part and makes it possible
for a man who is ready to do his own part, as man on the physical. To be successful is
a choice, don‟t sit down and wait for a miracle. Miracles are for people who make a
move for it; they may not deserve it but at least made a move. “Work hard to
become lucky!”
Thinking success is all about money is to be narrowly minded. Anybody could be rich;
even a rascal. I see success not being an outcome that is only obvious in business or
finance. I see success as an outcome possible and visible in everything we do in life:
family, ministry, education, religion and endeavors. But do not get me wrong, if you
will measure earthly success as George Clason rightly said; if success be measured by
the virtue of the hard labor in the society, money can be one or probably the only
medium through which it could be measured.
To talk of success without money on earth may be “inaccurate” but you can be a
success at any other thing. Here is my definition; to be rich is simply having cash to do
what is needful, when it needs to be done.
Money is not all, but it is good in all. It‟s a wrong conception to believe that the most
difficult thing to get in life is money, perhaps it might just be one of them. To a
natural man, with money, almost all things are possible. But for a spiritual man, with
God all things are possible.
Make impact
What you have become shouldn’t direct your life; you should direct
your life with whatever you have become. The ability to make money
our slave comes from self-denial, self-discipline and delayed
gratification. In addition, invest you money has much as possible. It
pays!
SUCCESS
When it comes to matters of success, depending only on what you know is

like expecting one meal to take you through the rest of your life.
You already know what you know but there are numerous other things you ought to
know that you probably don‟t know anything about. You need to seek knowledge
from others, need to listen and study from the world wide pool of knowledge if
possible. Someone somewhere knows something you don‟t know that can kick you to
greatness. Don‟t be self-sufficient.
Knowledge to become successful is always beyond us, we need mentors and the
attitude to learn, unlearn and act on what is necessary. The more you know, the more
you would discover you do not know.
Larry King said, “I remind myself every morning: nothing I say this day will teach me
anything. So if I‟m going to learn, I must do it by listening”
Our zeal and desire for success may result to nullity if we don‟t have adequate
information that comes from sundry knowledge. My belief is that, the larger and
deeper your pool of knowledge, the closer and vivid your success. Learn more.
Empower yourself with knowledge. You would see yourself being more effective than
you think you could at things you do.
Be courageous! Don‟t permit others‟ pace to bring judgment and discouragement; the
truth is that, they are not who you are. Virtually all humans want a balanced life, but
getting the pivot point is the big deal. The only true life is in the heart. What you
heart, you act. What you foresee in your heart you can see with you eye. Like
someone said, “Where there is will there is way, and where there is hope, one can
cope”
Make impact
Just don’t plan it in your head, write it with your hands and do
something about that vision. ―Plan the work, work the plan‖ No
discouragement. Move at a steady peace doing what you ought to do.
Consistency is a better speed. Be consistent and the compound
effect will be success.
True friend
―Difficulties show what men are.‖
“If you don‟t ask for their help, all men are good—natured.” You wouldn‟t be
infuriated when you come to admit this school of thought; that men aren‟t same
when you need help and when you don‟t. Your true friend you will know, but not
until they are tested. Until then, you can never be sure. If your plans prosper,
everyone will be your friend; if your plans fail—only then will you find your true
friend.”
“Friends are not family. Don‟t confuse the loyalty of friendship with the bond of
blood. A productive life is civil to all, sociable to many, familiar with few, and friendly
to a handful.”
An Anonymous said, “You can‟t live your life for other people, you‟ve got to do
what‟s right for you, even if it hurts some people you love” You can‟t satisfy people,
you can only satisfy God; Man has styles, God has standard.
When others discuss you because you‟ve refused to walk on their unrealistic path, just
turn your back with your ears closed and assume they were never there.
Your true friend you will know, but not until they are tested. Until then, you can
never be sure. It is not necessary you have everyone that comes your way as friends;
some people are just to give you a leap into the reality of life. Appreciate them and
move on. It is not a must they stay except you are sure they should.
Wounds from a friend are better than many kisses from an enemy, so says King
Solomon in proverbs 27 verse 6 of the Holy Bible. Rather hang out with people who
will scold and chastise you when you go wrong than those whose desire is to see you
fall. It is better to be surrounded with friends who don‟t permit your folly, than
undisciplined ones who live as life demands.
Friends leave a memorable mark on you—they impact, influence your existence and
in essence propel you to greatness.
Good friends teach you lessons you can never forget and not just blissful times leading
to no productive end. Good friends are means to knowledge, self-development and
success. If you have ten wise friends; you should be ten times wiser than the individual
of them or than you would have not having them.
Make impact
Association matters. Who are your friends? Your friends can be likening to
a fence. If they are bad, neither are you safe. ―Birds of same feather
flock together‖. Move with people who share you vision. Who are passionate
about becoming relevant in life and will also help you to your destination.
5 TYPES OF PEOPLE YOU MEET IN LIFE.
“Those who add—your pathfinders”
These people are either happy or sad when you are; they share in your emotion. They
take matters concerning you serious like it‟s theirs. They want you to succeed as much
as possible. They are most times family members; most especially parents and siblings.
If you have two of them in your life, you are blessed. You can tell them your dreams.
Those who subtract
They take from you without giving. They don't really have a plan for you. They only
need you to fulfill their dreams. Once they have what they want they are gone. After
five years of relationship, you won't have a thing you've added to yourself from them.
Don't tell them your dreams. They will try to achieve it behind you. They are not
happy with your success, it makes them jealous. Don't have them around you on
serious matters.
Those who divide
They don't have issues with your destiny but you have to help them half way their
desires as they help you half way your destiny. Relationship with these categories is
mutual. If they give you a shoe for an interview, when you get the job you must give
them a suit. You won't have a time they assisted you without you in return doing
something. Well, still dangerous to tell them your dreams because they might take
advantage of it in their request for your help. You need few of them in your life
Those who multiply
They are just there to bless you. They don't care what you can give in return; they just
naturally love to help you. They are God sent and few. They sometimes end up being
our life partners or close friends. Their interest is in your progress. After a little while
into the relationship, you start recording benefits and values that they have added to
you. You need more of them in your life as a favor. Success is in having many
counselors. Tell them your dream and they will connect you.
Those you are sent to.
You will determine if they increase, decrease, multiply, or are divided. You will meet
them by chance or time. You possess something they need. There is one person you're
sent to. You need to identify that person and use your skill and ability to bless him or
her. If they should know your dream, you will know.
FAILURE
There are many things we term failure, but to really fail is to quit.
That you failed in life at a particular point in time doesn‟t mean you don‟t have
anything pertaining to success at all in you.
Bob Gass stated, “Insist on learning from your mistake. We get very little wisdom
from success, what happens in you and through you is more important than what
happens to you.” A successful man may not be noted for making more success, but a
termed failure is obviously noticed for making success. “You are not a failure until
your failure makes you unnoticed”
Rev. Sam Adeyemi stated, “There is a different between them—the fact that a business
venture you are involved in failed does not make you a failure. You are not what you
have done. You are not what you have. You are not what others asses you to be. You
are what God says you are.”
The fact is, you might have failed, but the truth is, you are not a failure. Why will you
want to stop? Why will you want to limit yourself when God has not placed a limit
on you? I am not motivating you, I am telling you the truth; you are a success if you
believe you are not a failure—it can only be one of the two.
Correct your mistake
It is a very big mistake not to correct a mistake. When you don‟t correct a mistake
made, you are simply making another one. What was it you failed at the last time?
Take time, sit back, draw the plan again, and then observe the flaws. Even if you can‟t
cover up for the mistake, keep the observations and teach it to someone who will
need it latter.
Because we live in such a results dominated society, it is tempting to see failure as an

experience to be avoided at any cost. We all want to give the appearance of success,
even if we are failing miserably. The irony is our regrets in life don't come from failing;
they come from not trying—failing to try. A man should be termed a failure only after
failing to succeed a thousand times after which Thomas Edison succeeded. Until then,
he is not a failure but only fails at what he does.
Make impact
I have come to see that, our fear isn’t that we may often fail; we
often fail because we fear. By kicking out the fear of failing, you
are succeeding already.
BE INFORMED
Reading keeps you informed, and when you are informed you are
knowledgeable.
Reading is empowering yourself. There is a popular saying that; “knowledge is

power” and you may want to ask; power for what? I will say, power to do all you
want to think.
I decided to become a big fan of knowledge after discovering that, “I can‟t live
beyond my knowledge” Living without knowledge is living like a lion without legs.
We haven‟t erred if sometimes we don‟t have a particular knowledge, but not
stretching ourselves to know what we should is simply enrolling to the school of those
who believes much in impossibilities.
The more you work on your mind—by studying and learning—the more your chances
of nullifying the “don‟ts” and “cant‟s” that are generally admitted.
Try knowing something new each day, most especially what others know in your field
that you don‟t. Research and seek information on your gift, talent, potential, ambition
and conventional issues.
Self-development is a choice to either keep our minds restricted to norms and natural
or develop to contest with profound success. Knowledge develops your mind—
thoughts, perspective and words—most ultimately your existence.
Substantial quarter of people in the world have been well equipped by the creator but
had missed opportunities of utilizing their potentials because they will not read.
Thousands of people doing exceptionally great in their endeavors got their ideas while
reading; because people who read never lack ideas, words and thoughts when
needed, they are fully loaded and inspired.
Make impact
If we are diligent enough to apply every good thing we read, soon
our lives will become a good book from which others read. A wise
person once said, ―Sit to read and you will rise to lead.‖
If you can read, you can learn just about anything. The doors of the
world are opened to people who can read, that is what Doctor Ben
Carson said. Books make the way to success easier for you, because
in books you share the mind of heroes’ successes and through
following their steps, you find yourself at your own destination.
LOVE
Your love for a person or a thing should elicit deep interest and enthusiasm.
It is expedient that we love whatever we do. If you don‟t love your job, you will lose
the passion. You wouldn‟t feel the fountain of strength that leads to enthusiasm and
you may often feel dejected from common issues than motivated.
Opposite sex
What you call love might be urge and if it is for sex, don‟t keep quite; once you fell it,
cry out for help. A person‟s love isn‟t the determinant to mate two destinies, but two
can be destined if they love each other. Know to whom you declare love. Don‟t be
emotionally driven, be purpose driven. You don‟t necessarily declare to everyone you
love; “I love you”
Giving
True love is generous. For sure there is love in sharing, so is there sharing in love. Love
takes from us. It takes commitment, energy, time, knowledge, resource among others.
Your love for a thing or person may even take your breath. Many have died doing
what they love doing most; like the Bible teaches us that the basis for Jesus‟s death
was that He loves us.
What are you giving to show your love? You‟ve always declared you love your
parents but what have you done for them? What have you done for God whom you
also declared or claimed to love? What do people around your circle of influence get
from you? You are blessed to bless others, share. Love is sharing what you have and
loving what you share.
Make impact
Love that doesn’t cause action is not genuine. There must be an
action on the physical to show for your love. Love gives time, energy
and other resources. A love driven life is the best kind of life. It
gives you a sense of fulfillment and keeps you at peace with both
God and man. Let us so live that when we come to die even the
undertaker will be sorry. –Mark twain
BE INSPIRED, MAKE IMPACT
―Be strong, you never know who you are inspiring‖ – O. A. James
I used to have a fowl with just one leg. It limps everywhere in the compound and
hardly goes out of the compound because it could hardly walk for long. One day, I
noticed she had laid eggs and will hatch soon. After few days, the chicks came out of
the eggs. I remember my mum said, “Not all the chicks will make it. She can‟t fight
predators which will certainly come.” But to my surprise, I saw her fight an eagle. The
chicken was responsible to take the chicks around, protect them and show them what
to eat. In no time, the chicks grew and lived on, themselves. It‟s true she‟s got one leg;
that is the reality, now she‟s got chicks, she has to move on.
―In life you have two options: to make progress or make excuse‖
It‟s said that, “Your decision will decide your future” always make progress.
One of the chicks later became the toughest cock in the compound. He had watched
the mother hen fight other fowls and even the eagles.
Your weakness is passing a massage and your courage is also passing a message. People
won‟t tell you, but many, consciously or not are either moving on or letting go off
chances due to your attitude to life. I once said that others should not pay for your
mode or circumstances; you should be able to hold yourself always head up.
I don‟t want someone to give up because I carelessly handle my life. I want my life to
continually be a source of inspiration. I feel great whenever I notice someone is
making progress with his or her life because they see me always alive. Be strong.
Motivate yourself. Move on. Lives are attached to yours, will you fail God?
SO, WHAT DO YOU DO FROM HERE, NOW THAT YOUR MIND IS

INSPIRED?
If I were you, I would diligently apply all that I have read and in essence
make impact. Inspiration is nothing until you let it propel you to action.
That is my wish. That you stay inspired, and make great impact—living a
significant life.
