Happy New Month y'all!

The first part of the year is gone and we are onto the second half. If you have nothing else to be grateful for, at least you should be grateful for seeing the second half of the year!

Since the year begun, there are things you probably wanted to get done but didn't because you thought the year was still young and you had many months ahead of you. Suddenly you now realize time is not on your side anymore and you are now panicking.

STOP!

Panicking will not help you get stuff done. As a matter of fact, it will only cause you to withdraw, to regret and to resent yourself for not starting whatever you wanted to start when you should have started. Instead of panicking this is what you should do; take a deep breath and NOW start doing what you should have started doing on 2nd of January 2017.

Key word is NOW.

You see, unless you start now you'll never get anything done. You will continue procrastinating until you realize it is 31st December 2017, then you end up missing all the blessings and opportunities that had been prepared for you for this year, and as you know, whatever you do (or don't do) today has a direct impact on all your tomorrows. 

So, as you start this new month and the second half of the year, allow me to stir your heart so you can start doing what you have been putting off for whatever reason. It could be because you are afraid of failing, or because you don't have the necessary resources, or because you don't have it all mapped out, or simply because you are not inspired enough. Well, nothing will ever happen the way you want it to happen in your life unless you make it happen.  

Allow me to sign-off this post by quoting one Ijeoma Umebinyuo, the author of Questions for Ada who said:

"Start now. Start where you are. Start with fear. Start with pain. Start with doubt. Start with hands shaking. Start with voice trembling but start. Start and don’t stop. Start where you are, with what you have. Just... start."

Be Ignited. Be Inspired. Be Influenced. Become the best version of yourself you can ever be!
