Mistakes are the building blocks of success

I hope that in this year to come,

you make mistakes. Because if

you are making mistakes, then you

are making new things, trying new

things, learning, living, pushing

yourself, changing yourself,

changing your world. You are

doing things you have never done

before, and more importantly, you

are doing something. So that is

my wish for you, and all of us.

And my wish for myself. Make

new mistakes. Make glorious,

amazing mistakes.… Continue

Divelop yourself

If you don't take care of
yourself, how can you expect to
take care of anyone else?
Make yourself a priority and
invest in YOU!
It's your life, MAKE IT EPIC!

I just can't give up now

There will be mountains that I will
have to climb
And there will be battles that I will
have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me
to decide
But how can I expect to win If I
never try.
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I
started from
Nobody told me the road would be
easy
and I don't believe he brought me
this far to leave me

5 life lessons of a pencil we can apply them in our lives

A pencil maker told the pencil 5
important lessons just before
putting it in the box:
1. Everything you do you will
always leave a mark.
2. You can always correct the
mistakes you make.
3. What is important is what is
inside of you.
4. In life, you will undergo painful
sharpening which will only make
you better.
5. To be the best pencil, you must
allow yourself to be held and
guided by the hand that holds
you.

Focus on today

Focus on today. One of my
favorite sayings is, “Yesterday
ended last night.” It doesn’t
matter whether yesterday was
good or bad. It’s over. Don’t get
stuck there. For that matter, don’t
think too much about the future,
either. You can’t change the past;
you can’t mold the future. But you
can influence what happens right
now. Give the present day your
full attention and best effort.

Black child its possible

FORGET about those who don't
believe u will one day b wealthy!
Remember God gave u that vision
alone 2 fulfil & it doesn't matter if
ur story begins in a shack, what
matters most is that it may end in
a mansion! Don’t give anyone the
power to put you down. Don’t quit
just because they say you can’t.
Instead, use their words to
motivate your drive! BLACK CHILD
ITS POSSIBLE

Be honest with yourself

”An amazing thing happens

when you get honest with

yourself and start doing what

you love, what makes you

happy. Your life literally slows

down. You stop wishing for the

weekend. You stop merely

looking forward to special

events. You begin to live in

each moment and you start

feeling like a human being. You

just ride the wave that is life,

with this feeling of contentment

and joy. You move fluidly,

steadily, calm and… Continue

Enjoy yo day

“Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel.
TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH.
BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy
every moment of the journey,
and appreciate where you are at
this moment instead of always
focusing on how far you have to
go.”*

Your Life

"Your life is a sacred journey. And

learning to see clearly and deeply,

courageous challenges at every

step along the way. You are on

Greatness

Leap and grow your wings on the

way down. Put all your bets on

you and on your ability to achieve

your goals. Throw caution to the

wind!

If you have a catastrophic set-

back, know that you have the

power to over come it. If you lose

a job, you will find another, or

create one. If you make some

mistakes, learn from them and

come back again.

This is a time to use your talents,

skills and resourcefulness to

make a fundamental… Continue

Youthzones yethu

Do not settle!! It is not in your

spirit. Do not settle for living

someone else's life, or for

believing trattoria you should just

survive. What you do to live

and what you do to survive

are two different things!

Choose to live..really live.

Playing small is not who you

are!

You are called to live a

GREATER life!! Do not settle

for a place at the back of the

line. You are more than able.

You are a conqueror. You can
