“I bargained with Life for a penny,
And Life would pay no more,
However, I begged at evening
When I counted my scanty store;For Life is just an employer,
He gives you what you ask,
But once you have set the wages,
Why you must bear the task.I worked for a menial's hire,
Only to learn, dismayed,
That any wage I had asked of Life,
Life would have paid.”
- Jessie B. Rittenhouse
One thing I have learnt in life is upholding my belief and faith about a better life. Years ago, I was having nothing with me, nothing to eat, nothing to wear, some people here will admit to the fact that I'm truthful. Amidst all these, I always had a successful mindset. I had always seen beyond my present situation. I might be eating crumbs at present, but my mind was fixed on attaining success in all I do.
No dream is too big. No challenge is too great. Nothing we want for our future is beyond our reach. - Donald Trump
There is no limitation outside ourselves when success is concerned.
I am still growing and my dreams are getting clearer and more visible. I still see myself far beyond what anyone sees me.
Great motivated article @gbenga...
Life is what happens to us while we are making other plans..
Thanks.
Waoh, this is encouraging. But in our quest to becoming a better person in life, it is always good not to set too high standard for ourselves and not to be over ambitious; my opinion though
nice ..informative and motivational post...keep it up
Truly inspiring..having gone through a rough and annoying day, this piece got me calm and thankful for life.
Some days could be saddening though. No limits to what success holds.
Inspiring one @gbenga, this is a lesson for everyone to always dream big. I'm also a conqueror.
That's the spirit, @gbenga! Don't ever lose it!
As always motivation comes from within.
If you don't feel the fire in you, then you can't burn through your obstacles.
I always anticipate your post because it makes me to cling on to hope... Thanks for the motivation
The is beautiful and nice,life will not go you when you want but what you demand,so keep having faith and move on hoping for a better life,nice post.
Let me say it's the spirit of success. Everybody has it but not all withhold it. People are more caring about what they are going to eat today rather than what they would become tomorrow.
To be successful in life, someone needs to sacrifice,be committed, be focus and be self discipline.
That's what you do @Gbenga that makes you who you are today.
Thanks for always sharing an inspiring post like this, the other time I red your post, you talk about the commitment of people towards success in life and today I learned about self belief and been courageous towards your goals.
Hope other people reading it can also makes use of the word of wisdom in it.
No dream is to small, nothing is impossible..
Awesome! The sky is you starting point dear. Greatness lies ahead of you @gbenga
If you don't believe in yourself, others won't. Self motivation is the basis upon which other things are built. It is the nectar that attract people to you.
Thanks for the piece bro.
I strongly believe in this.. You are only limited by your fears and mind set...
Of course no one can ever believe in you than yourself
So educative
This is a factual truth.
Someday I will say this to myself....
Nice one boss
