IT IS ALL UP TO YOU. YOU HAVE THE POWER:

2021 is going to be a great year come what may. For me and for you. But we must be deliberate about our goals. We have the power to decide our destiny by the grace of God. There's a saying that "you can not continue to do the same thing and expect a different result.

Life is simple when we learn to apply the right principles at the right time and diligent in all our aspirations. Don't get carried away by frivolities or get absorbed in the crowd. Be prepared and, proactive and intentional as you set goals. Let no one hinder you from believing in yourself. Don't let those who don't believe in dreams stop you from dreaming. Not all dreams come to pass, but some dreams do come to pass if you keep the faith and you are consistent in your effort. Be confident on your abilities. your dreams are valid.

I saw the story below somewhere and i like share with you because it ministered to me and i hope it does to you too.

"A young chap went to a soothsayer to inquire about the hope of his future.

Right before his eyes, the soothsayer drew two circles. One in white and the other in black. He then put a millipede in between the circles, saying "if the millipede crawls into the white circle, your future will be bright and very great, but if it crawls into the black circle, then you are finished and doomed! No future at all!". As soon as the insect was dropped in between the circles, it began crawling towards the white circle.

This chap was super-excited.. But suddenly, as it got to the edge of the circle, it turned back and began crawling away from the white circle towards the black one. The boy watched as the insect progressively moved farther away from his desire to his doom. Then, just when the insect got to the edge of the black circle, this chap stretched his hands, picked it up and quickly but carefully dropped it in the white circle.

The soothsayer was in shock, never seen anyone intervenes in his own matter, watching all the while, asked the chap what he did and why he did what he did. The boy smiled and simply replied by saying "I cannot sit and watch insect determine and allow my destiny go down the gloom doom! While I can still do something about it and to change its course. My destiny is in my hands". He got up and left."

Lesson:

This year, get the hell up, pick up the damn millipede and drop it where you want. The power to design and pilot your life is in your hands. You either sit down there, complain and feel someone owes you something or get up and determine the flow of your life. It's up to you.

This is not the year to look for miracles, create your miracles, conjure your own magic.
