What do you do when it seems like all hope is lost – Give up or Stay focused on your vision?
I have been this position so many times and I realized that greatness isn’t made for mere men but for courageous men who were bold enough to take steps to achieve success even when they fell several times. This write up wasn’t compiled by me but I thought to share it to encourage anyone who may feel low in spirit and have decided to let life take control instead of the other way round.
Enjoy!!!
Did you know?

Please don’t write yourself off. The Lord created you to fulfill a purpose. Dust yourself, Get up and take a step. Make that bold move.
The host of heaven is waiting to celebrate you. Go & succeed!
