Keep your dreams alive

Sometimes the road to success might be scary,narrow and we always ask ourselves if it's worth the stress,but the truth is you will never know what you are capable of if you don't move forward towards what's in front of you,then only you really realize that fear and doubt is the only thing between you and your destiny. Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don't give up.Follow your passion, be prepared to work hard and sacrifice, and, above all, don't let anyone limit your dreams.

You define you! Don't let your situations make the decisions for you !

Here's a picture I took few days ago Tuesday to be precise,standing in front of South African embassy Berlin after legally renewing my work permit,I remember very much few years ago to get into an embassy talk more of applying for any kind of visa was almost like a nightmare because of self limitations one unconsciously puts himself or herself to.In life there will always be rejections in-fact lots and lots of rejections but your outlook towards those rejections defines who you will eventually become. It's no news before I had 3/4 visa rejections long before I even traveled to South Africa in 2013 or so but that didn't change or define what my goal was or my situation. I never lost faith in myself and never for once deviated  from my goal of becoming whatever I wanna be or achieving my dreams. Here's to say there will always be situations sometimes in human forms who might not know they are doing you a favor by saying No to you,they act like the ingredients you need to become a fully well cooked meal.When your time is right nothing can ever stop your blessings from reaching to you. So where ever you are now feeling not good enough or feeling bad for yourself because of the No someone said to you,I want you to know if I can transfer those rejections to RESOURCEFUL you too can! Don't be too hard on yourself,don't be afraid to make your voice heard, don't even play over and over those rejections voices in your head,see pass that phase and grab the Baton and run after your dreams like never before. Today I stand to say I'm grateful for all life's experience,my agency in Cape Town SA,my loved one. You all make it so worthy of a journey.. Stay inspired !!!!!!

Cape Town,South Africa see you in a few.......

YOU

Life is all about perception. Positive versus negative. Whichever you choose will affect and more than likely reflect your outcomes. There will be Haters (naysayers),There will be doubters (less than smart people),there will be Non-believers (ignorant people) and then there will BE YOU,proving them Wrong. As long as you keep  your path free of bad blood and keep doing your best to attain your desired life goals,none of those negative energy will be able to stop you from reaching your breakthrough.

Rejections; a byproduct of something Good

Rejections are not meant to break you or make you feel you are not good enough rather it is the byproduct of something good that at that moment you feel rejected you most likely not going to see or witness it but eventually when everything settles you realize that rejections often at-times  play a major role in directing one to a greater path of his/her destiny. The essence of rejection in ones daily life is to enable you to retrace and follow a better path or readdress a particular mistake you most likely to encounter if you had gone ahead without having those rejections. It's always hard on the flesh when we have been rejected but coming to terms with the facts that rejections are not meant to belittle you or make you feel less of who you are or what you worth rather it enables one to readjust/remold ones potentiality. Rejection itself carries a possible elevation to a greater height. Never see being rejected as a factor that bears no good.  You are only confined by the walls you built for yourself. Don't forget that some people create their own storms and get mad when it rains.That is why you must never blame others for anything and always remember that you can also be your best friend or your biggest supporter. Your enemies know that they are not your worst enemies. They know that if they can put you in any form of discouragement,then you are your own worst enemy. Never hate yourself. Remind yourself daily that it is okay to fail and rise again. Sometimes your worst enemy is your comfort zone. Learn to break free and let your light shine.

A year wiser

Always see rejections as blessings in disguise. You might not understand it at first but it's always a phase that one who's destined for greatness must encounter. This brings me to share a story in my life's journey as promised,less than 24hours to my 26th birthday; 

In the year 2011,I remember being so happy after I was picked up to be part of a big advert campaign for a world wide brand;I try not to mention names,I had already shot the campaign with all the glamor and all the money involved in my own human mind I had planned way ahead what I would do when the cheque clears but to my greatest surprise,I got calls from friends saying oh Jesse I saw your big billboard wow wow etc as usual I wanted to see it myself because to me that was going to be my biggest breakthrough but lo and behold I was replaced with someone who looks exactly like me but still not Jesse lol that confused even my close friends to think that was me,at that moment it struck my mind that in this life man proposes but God opposes and it's not in my power to do anything about it,to cut the long story short few months after there was something bigger than the initial rejection which had it been I was still involved I wouldn't have been able to participate and close the deal.fast forward to 2013,very funny story but it's the reality of my life's journey,I remember before turning 20 years old I made a positive affirmations that I would love to break out and travel to places that without parental help or family I wish to see come to fruition,then I began applying for South African visa you won't believe I was rejected visa for 5 good times but that never stopped my dreams or made me loose focus or hope,I continued and went on doing my normal daily hustle,in those process it was not just the time to make the move but as humans we always in a hurry to get somewhere without pausing for a moment to ask ourselves,could this be a sign that patience should be exercised until the right time comes,then eventually after the 5th rejection from the embassy I reapplied and as God may have it,I got one year visa as suppose to the normal 3months at the first issue. This a typical example of when it's your time nothing on earth can stop you from reaching your destined ground. I got to South Africa same year,the rest was just unimaginable. So you see rejections to man's best knowledge leads to something greater than the now in future. I hope this message helps you become aware of your blessings and appreciate it

Every trial is a messenger!

Don't forget great sailors are produced out of rough seas and storms. A good captain of a ship is known in the midst of a storm and not in the midst of a military naval parade day. It is in the struggling to climb to the top in life that life has dignity and strength. From an aimless problems often call out our strengths,best powers and gifts never known before. This is because every trial is a messenger sent to deliver a hidden gift to us. Many times in life the road to the crown is through the cross.Many great people owe the grandeur of their lives to their tremendous difficulties. Difficulties call out great but hidden qualities and make greatness possible. The harder the 

diamond,the more brilliant the luster.

Tough times make men wiser. No matter what you're going through or have gone through,your life will turn around with a testimony if you wait on Gods timing while doing your best.you are passing through pain & difficulties because you are destined for greatness. The best tools receive  their temper from their fire. Stop crying or comparing yourself to others. Don't pity yourself. You are a hero in the making.

Spread your wings and fly

People too weak to follow their own ambitions will always find a way to discourage yours. Never let them have their way because the eyes that sees and thinks can make it will eventually achieve its goal.When ur dreams turn to dust,then vacuum them. Never give up on ur dreams.

Fear kills more dreams than failure ever will. Always rise above those self limitations and spread your wings like the eagle you are and fly high high  above those limitations, conquer your dreams and break those unbreakable barriers. You can do it..
