NUGGET FOR THE DAY....

"A successful man or woman is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him or her"..........Ebyshandy

 Please permit me to share something that just came into my mind during my early morning meditation.

During the inspirational segment yesterday, I read so many interesting, inspiring and soul provoking tips from you wonderful ladies. Thanks. But this morning, the above tip above kept nagging at me. In life, God has purposed each of us for something. So many people have refused to be who or what God has ordained for them simply because of what other humans have acted or said. People will envy you, people will do a lot of things just to bring you down, people are only happy when they see you are not progressing. But my message to you is to develop a tough skin and remain focused on your goal. 

Let us take a cue from Christ. Even while dying, he still prayed for and forgave those who killed him. Whenever you are faced with a situation where people are mocking you or doing all sorts of things to hinder you from shining, just dust your back and keep moving on. In such instances , remember the quote above. People will gossip about you, they will castigate you, they will blackmail you, they will spread false rumours about you but remember, if you are not great, you will not be the attention of these category of people.

Secondly, while building your foundation with the bricks these people throw at you, remember to be forgiving and keep praying for them. Pray that they too will focus on their God given talents and ordained destinies.

So I charge us all to continue shining. Remain steadfast in your purpose as long as you are doing something right. Keep being in tune with God for strength and grace.

Thank you.
