The Power Of February
Many people think that when January is gone, there goes the new year resolution for another year… but this is not the case.
Studies have shown that decisions made in February are the ones that last for the rest of the year.
Maybe its the long stretch in the evenings or the brighter mornings.
We all have unlimited potential within, but if you don’t have goal-directed people around you, you will not get very far.
People that encourage you, people that want to listen, people that want to hear your opinion.
Make 2019 the year that counts, the year that you can look back on and say, that was the year that changed everything.
Work on your faith daily, even if its only a short prayer. Take regular walks in nature and feel the wind in your hair. Connecting with nature can help in so many ways, relieves anxiety, depression and helps your fitness too.
One of my favourite quotes is, “It is in your moments of decision that your destiny is shaped.”
Make some decisions of faith this week, park the car 10 minutes away from the office or take a walk to the corner shop.
Stick a sticky note on your laptop or back of door, somewhere you will see it often— of the person you want to be.
Say a short prayer, “thank you Lord for all the small things that I take for granted.” Often throughout the day.
Fulfilling your divine destiny is a marathon, not a race. It’s many small steps that over time will get you to your destination.
I believe in you. Take a step of faith today.
Thanks for reading. Enjoy your week.

Wisdom From a Billionaire
You have probably heard of a man called Steve Jobs. He was the co-founder of the computer business Apple.
Steve Jobs was also a writer and today I read the last essay that he wrote as he lay dying. It contained a lot of wisdom.
“I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world, ” he said. “In some peoples eyes, my life is the epitome of success but at this moment lying on my bed recording my life I realise that all the recognition, and wealth, that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of my death.”
You can employ someone to drive your car for you, to make money for you but you can not have someone bear your sickness for you.
Material things lost can be found. But there is one thing that can never be found when it is lost — Life.
Whichever stage in life we are at right now, with time, we will face the day when the curtain comes down.
Treasure love for your family love for your spouse, love for your friends.
Treat yourself well. Cherish others.”
Despite the best and the most expensive medical care, a lung transplant, the skill of the worlds best doctors Steve Jobs died in the days after he wrote his last essay.
When I put it down, I felt humbled. Inspired. Energised. I had been complaining about a few minor ills when what I should have been doing was celebrating the greatest gift of all,
LIFE.
True happiness does not come from material things. When you have mates and old friends, brothers or sisters who you can chat and talk with, that is true happiness.
The six best doctors in the world are, sunlight, rest, exercise, diet, self-confidence, and friends. Make these things the foundation of your life and everything else will fall into place.
Spend time doing what you love, and with the people that add value to your life
Have a good week. Thanks for reading.
