Dear friends in my journey of life, I have learnt some very simple but profound lessons which if you live by, life will be kind to you.

The difference between the successful people and the average people is in their daily habits and their mindset; all human beings regardless of race, color, age and creed have been awarded the same time 24 hours a day anda brain, how you use them makes all the difference. The most valuable asset to man is our mind! If you use it your life moves from ordinary to extraordinary, if you do not use it YOU lose it!

ØLife is worthwhile if you Learn- I have come to learn this lesson the hardest way; what you do not know will kill you. You have to have learning to exist, let alone succeed. Life is worthwhile if you learn from your own experience, negative or positive. We learn to do it right by first doing it wrong. This is what is called positive, negative. Think of the most successful people in the world today or around you, they made numerous mistakes, got up and reviewed the mistakes and tried again and again and again.... until they made it.

We also learn from other people’s experiences, both positive and negative. Learning from other people’s mistakes and failures saves us from the pain and hurt of having tried and failed ourselves....failure is a blessing to us if you are enlightened...(I will share more about this in another post).

We learn from what we see so pay attention to everything. We learn from what we hear so be a good listener, open the ears of your heart and the ears of your mind. Be selective in what you listen to; do not let people dump negativity in your mental factory. We learn from what we read, so learn from every source; learn from lectures, learn from songs, learn from books, learn from sermons, learn from nature, learn from conversations with people who care. So keep learning.

The more you know the more you can do! The world belongs to the learners.

ØLife is worthwhile if you Try- You can’t just learn, once you learn, you must do something with what you know, to see what you can do. Try to make a difference, try to make progress, give a try to the new skill you learnt, try your hand at a new sport. This does not mean that you can do everything, but there are a lot of things you can do if you try. Try your best. Go all in! You will never know what you are capable of until you try. Try different things to awaken the giant that lies inside unrecognized! Remember what you do not know will kill you lesson one.

ØLife is worthwhile if you Stay- You have to stay from spring to harvest. If you have signed up for the game or the project- see it through. Sometimes, you will get knocked down and you will, that’s life but keep moving forward. Napoleon Hill said it so well, “Every seed of adversity has with it a seed of greater or equal benefit.” The winners and champions are made at those times when it’s hardest, because that’s when they summon the strength to stay and push. So, whatever you signed up for...see it through...remember Winners never quit, and quitters never Win!

ØLife is worthwhile if you Care- If you care at all you will get some results. If you care enough you will get incredible results. Care enough to make a difference. Care enough to touch somebody else. Care enough to start a new enterprise, because you refuse to accept what you are and have. Care enough to change it all. Care enough to set some records. Daily practice at it births genius, 10,000 hours is what it takes, so care enough to stick with it long enough. Care enough to be the highest producer.

Care enough to win!

These four little powerful words will change your life, and help you enjoy every moment life presents you. Apply these in your life and care enough to want more!
