An excerpt from the 10th chapter of his book (Release Your potential), the Late Dr. Myles Munroe tells a story The story is told of the small boy who wanted to play with his pet fish. So he reached into the fish tank, caught the squirming fish and placed it on the floor beside him. The he returned to playing with the cars and trucks that were scattered on the floor around him. As he played, he talked to the fish about everything he was doing until he became so engrossed in his toys that he forgot about the fish. Many minutes later, he remembered the fish and turned toward his pet. The fish no longer moved when he touched it. Frightened, the boy ran to his mother with the fish in his hand. When his mother saw the fish, she quickly took it and put it the fish tank. The boy watched tearfully as his pet floated on the top of the water. It was dead. When the mother asked her son what had happened to the fish, the boy innocently replied, “Why, we were playing together on the floo

Every human being fights to survive and have a meaningful life. But life is noisy, it brings a lot of distractions and as individuals we get scared of what the future holds for us.

This video by one of the greatest speakers Les Brown will help you understand on the importance to keep your commitments to your commitments. Many people tend to be paralyzed by fear and put every possible excuse in their books to talk themselves out of doing some things and choose to be on the sidelines rather than being in the field of life. If you need to get ahead of life get the "buts" out of your life. It is common to hear a person saying "I really need to start a business but I don't think am good enough" or "I want to pursue my dream but I don't have the education". These kinds of statements are not supposed to be entertained in your world if you need to get where you want, say yes to yourself and believe you can do it. It is natural to sometimes doubt yourself, even in the scriptures Moses doubted himself upon the task given to him by God because he stuttered and God told him he should not worry about that everything is under control ,wh

An Old Cherokee tale tells of a grandfather teaching life principles to his grandson. The wise old Cherokee said, “Son, on the inside of every person a battle is raging between two wolves. One wolf is evil. It is angry, jealous, unforgiving, proud and lazy. The other wolf is good. It is filled with love, kindness, humility and self-control. “These two wolves are constantly fighting,” the grandfather said. The little boy thought about it, and said, “Grandfather, which wolf is going to win?” The grandfather smiled and said , whichever one you feed.” Feeding unforgiveness, impatience, low self-esteem, or other negative traits will only make them stronger. For instance, maybe you constantly complain about your job or your life and going around putting the blame on other people without any effort of improving your life, you will always be complaining and limit yourself from growing (getting ahead in life). Ironically, when we complain, we feel a sense of release. It feels goo
