Worry is one of life’s oldest scammers to avoid. No matter how wonderful a victim’s life was, worry will rob them of their bliss, and leave them feeling alarmed about dire scenarios that may never happen.
Staying successful is more perilous than becoming successful. And true failure is sometimes not when a person fails to achieve a dream, it is when they achieve it, only for their ego to foolishly ruin it for them.
There is no act of kindness or meanness to which anyone cannot rise or stoop. All it takes is to stand or fall for a narrative that makes the act feel justified. Choose your convictions wisely and justly.

We are each gifted in a unique way. But success in finding great applications for our gifts hinges on the power of our courage to steer clear of the trap of evaluating our significance by how we rank in comparison to others.
There’s incredible power in trusting that you are created braver than you seem. When a raging storm of life threatens to humble you, calmly face what’s facing you, and you come out stronger than ever before.
What if every noble desire is bestowed with divine grace for it to manifest at the right time, and all we are asked to do is the needful? Doing your best is all you can control, and it’s often good enough.
Little by little, small acts make a big difference. The good news is that consistent right actions breed greatness. The bad news is that repeated wrong choices effect insignificance. Choose wisely.
What we believe is possible for us is nothing compared to what God can make happen for us. And moments that truly take our breath away are those moments when divine will put impossible odds in their rightful place.
True giving and receiving have no strings attached: they are hearty acts of compassion and gratitude, not grudging acts of obligation and entitlement.
All setbacks hurt, but not all setbacks need to haunt. And so often when we refuse to let setbacks stop us from pursuing a dream, the more unforgettable the heartaches along the way, the deeper the thrill of victory.
Sometimes small matters make some moments truly unforgettable. And it’s so easy to encounter someone for a few seconds yet become a hero or villain in their story for a lifetime, without you ever knowing it.

It’s not enough to be a future-oriented person. You must also have the gift of foresight to know what your future-self will thank you for doing today…and just get on with it.
Right choices create right conditions for one’s destiny to activate and bloom. Sometimes the life you want is just waiting for you to start doing certain things you’ve never done before or stop doing certain things you’ve always done.
Life is a vast maze through which we are all called to find our unique path. And the foresight to choose the right step forward often flows from gratitude for how far we have come, and no regrets for choices that seem bad in hindsight.
What we believe is possible for us is nothing compared to what God can make happen for us. And moments that truly take our breath away are those moments when divine will puts impossible odds in their rightful place.
Every noble human need has a divine provision. But life is only truly wonderful for all of us when each of us choose to be a channel of divine grace to others at their moments of need.
Don’t let the wrong crowd shape your drive to do better for yourself and others. For as long as a lofty dream lives in your heart, rely on your inner voice to awaken you to the right opportunities, at the right time.
When God reveals His will in the silence of your heart, but it all seems impossible to you; He will hold your heart hostage until you elevate your vision, thoughts, and actions.
What we appreciate fills our heart with joy. And when what the heart most wants is delayed, experiencing joy hinges on appreciating that we sometimes have to patiently travel through darkness to reach light.
Life is a multi-generational relay game. Each generation reaps the fruits of the sacrifices or excuses of the generations before it. And one life well lived can be a legacy of pleasure passed on for generations.
The bigger the risk, the bigger the prize is how life works in lots of situations. And when we show intelligent bravery in the face of a risk worth taking, the prize is often bigger than we can ever imagine.

The darker the night, the more delightful the dawn. So, when the journey to your big goal gets tough and your heart is weary; a blissful breakthrough is on the way, as long as you keep pressing forward.
Revenge can feel so good in the moment, but the price is often long-term pain. To be wise is to always be alert to the perils of chasing instant blissful feelings that come from getting even with someone.
People we associate with influence the direction our life takes. And so often in life, success flows from not leaving our friendships to chance, and consciously choosing friends we need in our life.
Don’t get lost following the crowd. Others may guide you, but only your inner compass can point you in the direction to make your own unique mark in the world, however big or small.
Some people will walk into your life when you need them most, some will walk out when you need them most, and some will walk with you every step of your journey. They all make your life truly rich.
Everyone has a unique calling to honour. And the more we step out in faith to make the most of our unique gifts, the easier the divine assignment becomes.
Sometimes it’s not our initial mistake that holds us back, but our failure to recognise that it’s never too late to bounce back from it wiser.

Gratitude begets itself in a sublime virtuous cycle. The more grateful at heart you are, the higher your expectations of finding more reasons to be grateful for, and the more your expectations are borne out.
Intellect is easier to fake than character. A weak intellect may propel a person to the pinnacle of success, but the entry pass for remaining grounded and enjoying the amazing view is always an excellent character.
There are no little blessings in life. And when you live every moment with a sense that there is always more than meets the eye, you are rewarded with feeling truly blessed in all situations.
Even the most fruitful seeds remain dormant until planted in good soil. To give our dreams the best chance to blossom, our purposeful actions must speak louder than our pathetic excuses.

You may not be where you want to be in life, but you can’t speed up your journey by depriving yourself of the inner peace that flows from being grateful for how far you have come.
Learning to be happy in the face of unfulfilled dreams is a part of life. But when your refuge is the One with the proven track record of meeting every need at the right time, life is a joyful existence of making the best of every situation.
In this fast-paced era, standing still means going backward. But in your quest for progress, be wise not to become a person of questionable character. A flawed character is like a ticking time bomb waiting to destroy hard earned progress.
A weak willpower makes every potential way forward look like a brick wall. But when you are hungry to tap all the talents you are born with, every opportunity looks like an open door to where you are meant to be.
Even the most fruitful seeds remain dormant until they are planted in good soil. To give the seeds of our dreams the best chance to come alive, our purposeful actions must speak louder than our pathetic excuses.
Don’t be fooled by the smile and sparkle; we all have our battles. And once you know what it’s truly like to struggle, you also know the true soothing power of blessing others with your kindness.

We all have people whose selfless acts of goodwill have enriched our life. So, as you savour your own personal success, don’t forget to do what you can to better the lives of others.
In the grand scheme of things, none of us is truly invincible. So, the smartest thing for ‘butter’ to do on a rainy day is not to mock ‘salt’, but to let the existential threat of a sunny day sink in.
Contradictory little pieces of truth are a fact of life. But when we are willing to embrace and piece them together, we instantly discern them as different perspectives of the same enduring wisdom.
As we deepen our gratitude for our countless blessings, we rise higher to become an irresistible magnet for all that is possible for us.
No day reigns eternal: today becomes yesterday, and tomorrow becomes today. So, when today gets you down, keep in mind that tomorrow is just around the corner, and your power to hold on is simply limitless.
Realism is wisdom to use power true to life. Self-doubt will only hold you back from pursuing your dreams, and the harsh realities of life will only humble your self-importance.” ~Tunde Salami
We all need help sometimes. And when someone is the right person at the right time for you, whatever little help they offer will enrich your life forever; and vice versa.
One of the greatest gifts you can give someone is to accept them as they are. Not because they are perfect, but because your gracious centred heart knows our flaws are what make us human.
No one truly becomes poorer by letting go of negativity. Because everyone feels more blessed and thankful by paying more attention to the good always present in every situation.
There are no heroes like parents, and there are no treasures like children. So, heaven and earth are full of doting parents whose commitment to see their children thrive is selfless and eternal.
