Every person I’ve met and connected with in one way or the other has the intrinsic need to be useful, valuable and productive. They all want to be valuable and provide solution for a need in one way or the other.Nobody is really lazy, a failure or a mediocre if we choose to look at things from a different perspective. They just haven’t found that task, goal, passion or endeavor that excites, motivates them enough to be deserving of or warrant their time, commitment, dedication and energy.If and when they do, in a twinkle of an eye and without much push, they become individuals with passion who are committed to a cause.

The difference between go-getters and daydreamers is that the former commit daily to their goals and the latter is inconsistent in commitment.They never start today but wait for a perfect someday.

Know that if you persist, stay determined, commit tirelessly to anything and work hard, you can achieve anything. Know that fellow men built the tower of Babel and God couldn’t stop them because they had a resolve.Know that impossible means never been done not can’t be done. Work on your strengths and become a better version of you everyday. Spend time with you everyday. Rid yourself of self imposed limitations. Take off the lid on your abilities and thrive.Spend time with you and never allow others, popular opinion or an event define your relationship with you. Remember only you can stop you.
