Are you just watching life’s exciting moments passing by without you catching a glimpse of it, and savoring it. Don’t be a spectator be a partaker. Step out and enjoy the moments. Life is now! Live in the moment. Listen to this: “Learn to enjoy every minute of your life. Be happy now. Think how really precious is the time you have to spend, Every minute should be enjoyed and savored. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Every moment you have a choice. Choose right now to move forward, positively, and confidently into your incredible future” ~ Unknown

People will tell you, they will be there for you when you need them but to only realize that they only show up when they need you. It’s so easy to feel like you are being used(if not abused) in this regard rather than being loved by others , especially when people only approach you when they are in need, when they want something from you. This is what you can do, consider yourself as a gift to the world, use all that you have, give generously to serve and try and separate true friends from the fake ones, either way give your best and don’t allow your emotions in too much. “Don’t feel bad if people remember you only when they need you. Feel privileged that you are like a candle that comes to their mind when there is darkness!”

Everyone has the capacity to excel at something, no matter how big or small; with hard work, dedication to work and with laser focus on the task at hand. Being the best at something always starts with baby steps – tiny insignificant progress daily. Don’t start out to be perfect, looking for perfection? You will be disappointed soon if your effort doesn’t produce it. Instead, seek to improve daily, working harder on yourself, bettering your best daily. With this attitude you will enjoy your daily bits of progress. Develop your skills daily and forget about mastery and perfection. They will come when you least expect it. Keep working. Be your best.

Don’t burst my bubbles. If you don’t believe in someone’s dreams and can’t support it don’t do anything to discourage them and their dreams. It’s always good that if you have nothing good to say, then say nothing. Allow people to follow their own dreams, leave them to their own destiny. “People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.” ~ Chinese Proverb

You have to do something by all means at all cost. In the words of Martin Luther King Jnr ~ “If you can't fly then run, if you can't run then walk, if you can't walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” Start moving towards the goal you want. Keep moving forward, go farther. Remember action is a fear killer, don’t stand there and stare thinking you care, step out and find out – dare to do and be. “Whatever you can do, or dream you can, begin it. Boldness has genius, power and magic in it. Begin it now.” ~ Goethe

“When you feel like giving up, remember why you held on for so long in the first place “ It's a new day. A new you. Step out and dare to challenge yourself, dirty yourself, be willing to fail and accept the NO's only implying Next Option. For only those who try and dare to fail greatly ever succeed. You will win if you don't quit. So long as there is breath in you, persist. Often time we give up too soon, too often. Sometimes almost at the verge of breaking through or winning. Choose this day not to give up, give it one more try, one more time, and hang in there a little while. You will win! The best is yours!!!!

You know, many were told they dont have what it takes to be(presenters, musicians, whatever), so some packed but others set out to work on themselves making lemonades out of their lemons(rejections). Today do not permit the highlights of others to dim your own light within. Light your candle, shine on and brighten your corner. EnjoyLife!

“Don’t ever settle for less than you deserve, because once you start to settle you always will.” Far too long many have settled for less than they can be, do, and have, because of the lies they have been told about themselves, and unfortunately believed those lies… I say to you this day that you have the infinite capacity to be, do and have all you have ever wanted, for the seed of greatness is in you. Believe in God and believe in yourself. You shall excel.

You only have on life to live so do it right and do it now. Don’t spend your lifetime imitating someone, desiring to be someone. As rightly put - life is not a dressed rehearsal for a stage performance someday. It is the real deal – the reality show. No pause rewind, replay. So decide to let out your true self and live your true dreams. Love yourself and live your best life now! EnjoyLife! “To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment.” ― Ralph Waldo Emerson

There are times you just have to backup for some time. Repurpose, strategize and go back stronger, bigger and more determined. ‘Man know thy-self’. Examine how far you have come, assess yourself if you are still on the right paths. Do the necessary adjustment, correct the mistakes, celebrate the little progress and keep the big picture in mind. Don’t Retire, Rewire and Refire!

Death is unjustly just. Life seems short and passing every moment . Death is inevitable, and the truth is that we cant get out of the life alive, we will all go through that gate - death. Nevertheless, I believe a life well lived weather short or long, makes more meaning than the length of days. As I rightly agree with Normn Cousins - "Death is not the greatest loss in life. The greatest loss is what dies within us while we live". My call to you tody is , rise up and live your dreams, do not let your dreams die. For we are just passing through this life but once, let's engage our talents and our gifts to serve humanity and make the world a better place, Live fully and die empty.

Now that l am gone Gossip and tell not lies about me Now that l am gone Stop calling me names Now that l am gone l urge you all sons and daughters to embrace peace Now that l am gone You would realize my "father for all" message is what we need as a nation Now that l am gone The eagle and elephant that bay for the blood of each other Are now mourning and weeping after my demise Now that l am gone You should by now know that living as brothers and sisters ln love and forgiveness is the way to go Now that l am gone My face would not be on the ballot on December 7th Now that l am gone l wish you could all live in peace as Ghanaians Now that l am gone The issues of my medical check up or medical treatment is of no significance Now that l am gone Pray for my soul to rest in perfect peace Now that l am gone Tell my wife and son to take heart Give and show them your love and comfort on my behalf Now that l am gone l hope all the intra and inter party acrimonies would cease Now that l am gone Promise me to go through the December elections in peace Now that l am gone l pray the heavens rain over Ghana in peace and love My brothers and sisters Now that l am gone Forgive me if l ever hurt you For man is not infallible and immortal Now that l am gone Let it dawn on you that you are also not here forever Now that l am gone Let all the political tension cease and let brotherly love continue Now that l am gone Now that l am gone Now that l am gone This poem is dedicated to the memory of His Excellency President John Evans Fiifi Atta Mills, Former President of the Republic of Ghana, whose sad death occurred on the 24th of July 2012.

Too often, many people choose goals that are not inspiring and empowering to them. Goals that has no true meaning to them, not coming from within but from the ideas and opinions from others to build their dreams. This often leads to frustration and dissatisfaction even if they are able to achieve that borrowed dream. To have more empowering goals – look within. What resonates with you, your desires and aspirations? If it’s truly meaningful to you, you will less look out for motivation from external sources, the motivation will come from within. Because you choose your goals and you know exactly your compelling reasons to achieve them. Live your dreams.

You may or not make a million dollars in life, a song may not be sung in praise of you, monuments may not be erected in your name but promise me this: to live life fully, to give wholeheartedly, do your best with what you have, to impact souls, to use your gifts and talents to serve humanity, to live, love and leave a legacy in your own way.

Learn to live a stress-free life Most of life’s stress comes from unfinished tasks. Tasks screaming at you all over the place, ‘finish me’, ‘finish me’!

In pursuit of happiness, True happiness. Your true source of happiness in life should not be based on things happening; that’s if the tides turn in your favor you rejoice and if it doesn't you complain. Be aware that seasons and times do change. Your true source of happiness should come from within, an inner joy. An internal fire that keeps burning in spite of conditions, a heart that sings. Live a happy life. EnjoyLife
