You must take personal responsibility. You cannot change the circumstances, the seasons or the wind, but you can change yourself. That is something you have charge of.
Jim Rohn – 1930-2009 – American Entrepreneur-Author
When the Lord turned the captivity of Zion we were like they that dreamed!
When you travel within, that is, change your mindset, grow spiritually, you will learn to celebrate your successes, dwell on your blessings, be grateful for who God is in your life, and begin to see that you are more blessed than you thought yourself to be!
John 8:31 To the Jews who had believed him, Jesus said, “If you hold to my teaching, you are really my disciples. 32 Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
Truth set free Truth guides Truth gives peace Truth promotes Truth is an enhancer Truth! Truth! Truth! Truth makes great Seek truth out Be a true person Not an impostor or liar Seek for truth daily Embrace truth and You shall be great
– – Joan Debo Sanusi
Horace Mann wrote: “If any man seeks for greatness, let him forget greatness and ask for truth, and he’ll find both.”
Sometimes, hmmm, I guess it should be daily, and every time, we must speak tenderly to ourselves. Just as we speak kindly to others, you and I must learn to be kind to ourselves.
Therefore, affirming yourself is healthy. When you develop kindness towards yourself, you most likely will be kind to everyone else!
Every organization in the secular world conduct assessment on all employees, it encourages individual self assessment, and promote continuous learning to drive self and process improvement for the sustainability of the organization.
I want to let you know that the Scriptures also encourages believers to assess themselves to drive repentance, growth and maturity as a witness to our inward transformation, and outward representation of our divinity.
“Brothers and Sisters, make every effort to confirm your calling and election. For if you do these things, you will never stumble, and you will receive rich welcome into the eternal kingdom” 2 Peter 1:10-11
Examine yourselves to see whether you are in the faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you – unless, of course, you fail the test? 2 Corinthians 13:5

Friends, when was the last time you examined yourself? When was the last time you conducted an evaluation of yourself to identify faith gap, unbelief, doubt, and outright sin in your life? It is what we know that is lacking in us that we will talk to our Father in heaven about, and get help with.
I know many of us see ourselves as perfect and has no room for improvement. We are just great the way we are eh? Yes! You are wrong if you think and act like this. The very wise know that what they do not know is so much more than what they already know, hence they listen more, ask questions, research, and observe more keenly, they learn, and take action to apply every knowledge gained.
You and I need to do a check up of ourselves friends, not to be critical of ourselves, but to identify where we need to grow, and repentance becomes easy when we realize our mistakes and shortcomings. Self assessment truly drives growth if you think about it.
Do the necessary checkup! Then talk to our helper about it! Shalom!

You can reclaim lost times as long as you have breath within you!
You are still breathing because God has kept you. It means you still have task to fulfill on this side of eternity.
Stop wasting time then about who likes you, who does not, what happened to you, what did not happen for you, and all the stuff that steals your time and distract you from purpose.
Now is the time, the appointed time to reclaim the time you have wasted! Start doing, saying, and acting the way you have always wanted to act, talk, and do stuff.
You are here, let it count! Write your words on the tablet of other’s hearts !
