Focus Forward

[A]: Past. Present. Future. What we experienced in our past; the decisions we made in the past; the routes we took in the past, has brought us to our present. Our past forms our present. What forms our future?

{B}: Our present. What we choose to do now determines what comes in the days ahead.

A: Logically so, yet many are bounded by what has gone on in their past, their future becomes a replica or continuation of their past.

Failures are not fatal. Lessons from our trials and errors develop and strengthen us. This is necessary so we might mature. Set your eye on your goal. Persevere. Waver not on your vision: what you believe in, and set out to achieve.

Be observant. Seek wisdom of those around you. Listen. Watch. Reflect. Improvise upon lessons learnt and seek to be/get better time after time.

Success is a journey. Keep walking... Keep walking... Keep walking...

Money: The Root Of All Evil... Or Not?!

It's been said, "Money is the root of all evil." Yet as you ponder, just how true can it be?

Money is inanimate and so is unable to cause harm. The root of evil can therefore not be money but the one who possess the money. It is the individual in possession of money who could:

1. destroy or restore others;
2. condescend or build up others;
3. indulge in self or contribute to the needy;
4. brag of one's wealth or spread one's joy by giving to others; and
5. the list goes on!

Life is not fair. We are each gifted differently and so have differing abilities to earn. Yet there can be a form of equality amongst humankind as those financially stronger mature in gracious giving, and learn to support the less fortunate ones.

Blessing comes from not just receiving, but also in giving. Be a giver. Possess money. Do not let money possess you.
