Everything will happen in God’s perfect timing. And they will happen more perfectly than you could’ve imagined.

If you have hopes, then keep hoping.

If you have dreams, continue dreaming.

Don’t be fixated on the whats & hows. Just keep doing your best each day.

For example..

I personally had hoped to be able to meet w individuals who are at the top of their game or those most esteemed & respected in their fields.

Over the years I‘ve had the honour to be in meetings w multimillionaires, dinners w global leaders, & sit amongst great spiritual leaders.

At age 20, I dreamt of writing my own book. I fantasised about getting on the bestsellers’ list. Impossible I thought. So I just focused on writing. Self-published it in 2011. I was 26.

Now at 36, I have a publisher, 2 bestselling books in major bookstores. & a 3rd on the way.

At age 18, I got excited when I attended cool large-scale events; seminars, conferences, w a mass audience.

I caught myself day-dreaming a lot, of me being the main speaker on stage, instead of just occupying a seat on the floor.

Today, speaking on stages is a weekly affair.

As I age I realised that there is no need and no benefit to worrying about how to “get there”.

God will bring you there. You’ve just got to show up each day. Show up to work, commit, be disciplined, develop persistence and perseverance. Read and learn every day. Master your art.

One last thing to add here..

You’ve gotta have patience, my friend.

Get comfortable with delayed gratification.

But get uncomfortable with delayed follow-ups from your end, slow action, a lackluster attitude, and the constant excuses you tell yourself why you can’t make it.

You know what? The path towards living your dreams won’t be an easy one.

But just remember to be a good person. Be kind to everyone. Be firm on your principles. But be kind at all times.

God is on the side of kindness, not harshness.

Mercy & love,
begets more mercy & love 💛
