Step out of your comfort zone for new possibilities.
Be
Brave
Take risks. There is no “try” if you don’t take action. It may not get you the results you are looking for. Keep on at it until you get the result you want. Nothing can substitute experience.
Great things never came from comfort zones.
And experience always has a story to be told.

This is my life…my story…my book. I am the author, the only author of my life.
I will no longer let anyone else write it and be co-author.
I will accept suggestions on how to improve my story.
I will not apologize for the edits I make. People may or may not like me, but it is important to me to stay true to who I am.

Always have hope.
Always have faith.
No matter how bad any situation is, your miracle can be closer than you can imagine.
Believe.

Do more than your best, always! The difference between doing your best and more than your best is that little extra.
That little “extra” is what makes the “ordinary”, extraordinary.
It is pronounced as “ex-traordinary”; not extra-ordinary.

God’s got my number on his phone speed dial.
Just send in your prayer requests / petitions, and I will pass them on to HIM when HE calls next.
We’ve got Lensia who asks that her aging father be comforted in his time of illness.
We’ve got K, the 13 year old girl who will be going for spinal surgery to remove fluid so that she can stand and walk properly again without any hindrances…
I am just the messenger, that answers HIS call and sends your prayer petitions to HIM. I do not perform miracles. Only GOD, HIMSELF answers your prayers, in HIS time.
It is Christmas. You too, can join in and pray for all those who lift their prayers and petitions here.
🙌
A dream remains a dream unless you act on it.
Laura was like any other 12 year old girl, back in year 2013. Maybe, a bit different than most others. She had goals and she had determination. When she was 9 years old, she declared that she wanted to be a world champion swimmer. Three years later, she was still as determined as ever in getting there.
Her coach told her that she would need to go to the U.S., to train amongst the best to have a shot at being world champion. That is what she decided she would do.
Laura quickly rose the ranks to be amongst the top 3 breaststroke swimmers for her age group in Malaysia. At the same time, she kept abreast with the latest swim developments in the U.S.
In 2019, she was focused on Entrepreneurial Studies and swimming. Millikin University was the perfect fit.
Millikin University presented her a programme which allowed her and other students to explore, grow and develop ideas and at the same time, pursue competitive swimming, representing Millikin Swimming.
Now…
Now, as the next phase or chapter of her life begins; Laura is actively working towards achieving them.
So, if your young child has fuzzy ideas, and says that he wants to be a paleontologist, or an inventor that will come up with a control to keep all A.I. machines in check; or she wants to be a world renowned fashion designer; help them develop that interest. You may just never know…

A great way to improve your negotiations skills:
1. How to put your point across, negotiate,
2. How to take a fall if it does not go as well as plan,
3. How to get up from a fall,
4. How to get up,
5. How to accept that there can be differences of opinion in the end.
After 3 years, 3 months, 1 week.
It is a little more than a month away to the new year. This is the time to set goals for the new year.
How many times have you set a goal that is so big that it scares you? The fear of not being able to achieve it.
At the same time the goal is so exhilarating that it excites you.
