"When God created Man he gave him authority to conquer the highest and most challenging cliff of life. Remember all that you are going through is just a pebble compared to your dreams. Don't give it a chance to pull you down; March on!"
Written in 2013 by Benson Nyaga --- Kenya Because my God is able to deliver us out of the challenges we face in our life.
"Reality... Don't expect everybody to love you. Some will love you, while some will hate anything that looks like you with passion. Some will pray for you, while some will wish you no longer exist. Some are confident and believe in your ability, while some underestimate and see no good thing about you. I am fully aware of the second category; they don't bother me at all. My friends, don't be bothered about the second category, just believe in yourself; don't be in any contest with them. They are everywhere: in your neighborhood, family, school, church, mosque and office. Be happy that you special. That's why you are being envied, hated and underrated. Be proud that you are a STAR... God bless you."

"If size guarantees victory, then Goliath would have killed David. Don't be intimidated by the size of what you are about to fight. Victory is not determined by the size of the fight but by who's behind the fight. Their size is only a mirage. Heaven is on your side. Greater is He that's in you than he that's in the world. So you are a sure winner."
Written in 2013 by Smek Uwakina --- Nigeria

"Where there is pain there is gain and where there is gain there is pain. Pain versus Gain - the difference between pain and gain is "p and g" whereby "p" means "passion and "g" means great reward. So where there is passion, there is great reward and where there is great reward, there is passion."
Written in 2013 by Karabo Mokhabukhi --- South Africa
I like motivating people not to give up so I wanted to come with my own quote
"I am learning to understand rather than immediately judge or to be judged. I cannot blindly follow the crowd and accept their approach. I will not allow myself to indulge in the usual manipulating game of role creation. Fortunately for me, my self-knowledge has transcended that and I have come to understand that life is best to be lived and not to be conceptualized. I am happy because I am growing daily and I am honestly not knowing where the limit lies. To be certain, every day there can be a revelation or a new discovery. I treasure the memory of the past misfortunes. It has added more to my bank of fortitude."
Bruce Lee --- Submitted by George Wachirah --- Kenya

"Let us be thoughtful about our words before we speak, let us be mindful of others pain and struggles and let us be thankful for the abundant blessings that surrounds us today."
Written in 2013 by Caroline Naoroji --- Virginia
"Peering through the clouds is the shadow of a new day, only a step away from a miracle. Hold onto your faith and know that a change is coming. Blessings are flowing because prayers have been answered. Rise up and believe in the power from above. Believe that a brighter future is ahead. Stand fast, stand tall, and believe."
Written in 2013 by Janice Harris --- Florida
Never give up. Dark days and rain but a change is on the horizon.
"We are all entitled to a Yes or No but when you desperate, it's hard to use the "No". So many of us are doing things that we don't want to because of this. If our total dependence is with God we will be able to move out of the desperation zone."
Written in 2013 by Sipho "Sphola" Mnisi --- South Africa
I wrote this because of the mess I encountered in life because of being desperate. There is actually a difference between being desperate and being in need. You can need and not be desperate!
"When we acknowledge that all of life is sacred and that each act is an act of choice and therefore sacred, then life is a sacred dance lived consciously each moment. When we live at this level, we participate in the creation of a better world."
Scout Cloud Lee --- Submitted by Lauren Covington

"When you sit at the top, everything looks small. Think how small you are to the one who is sitting above the clouds. Hence, help those who need you; you will be looked upon by Him."
Written in 2013 by Vivek Verma --- India
"The path of the righteous is determined by the choices that individuals make. Some of these righteous decisions could be very difficult to bare for some but it very well could be so conflicting to our life habits, as well as origins, that it drives us to drift away from what is right. I feel the need to let whomever wishes to read this know not to fret; for when our lives are re-lived in the memories of whom we love, we shall be known as the strong, we will be known to never give up to acts of tyranny or the selfishness of the wicked and with that understanding, we shall acknowledge our virtues, and our passion for life shall truly make us free."
