Focus on solution

Focus on solutions ~ not

problems! What you focus on the

longest becomes the strongest.

The best way to deal with the

challenges you are facing is to

look for solutions. Spend your

time being creative, resourceful

and get some help. Worry is faith

turned inside out...assuming the

negative. It wastes your energy

and does not solve anything. It

paralyzes you, stifles your growth

and robs you of your creativity.

Use your imagination… Continue

Youthzones empowering young people to become successful entrepreneurs

To me Entrepreneurship is to live.

It’s about persevering. It’s about

testing yourself. It’s about not

becoming complacent. If you love

what you do and are willing to do

what it takes, it's within your

reach. And it'll be worth every

minute you spend alone at night,

thinking and thinking about what it

is you want to design or build.

Always remember that some

people want it to happen, some

wish it would happen, others make

it… Continue

7 things to stop doing to yourself!

1. Stop spending time with the

wrong people. It’s useless

spending time with people who

don’t know your worth.

2. Stop running from your

problems. Face them head on.

3. Stop lying to yourself.

4. Stop putting your own needs on

the back burner. Yes,

help others; but help yourself too.

5. Stop trying to be someone

you’re not. Don’t change so

people will like you. Be yourself

and the right people will

love the real you.

6.… Continue

My goal

"My goal is to translate
response into results. Some
teachers teach for others to
learn. That's not me. Some
teachers teach for others to
accomplish. That is me." —

Expect great things in your life

It is not enough to want great
things in your life. It is
important to EXPECT that you
will get them. Want shows up in
conversation, but expectation
shows up in what you actually
do to make those things come
true. Be an active force for good
in your own life. You have
GREATNESS within you!!

Do your best each and every day

Do your best each and

everyday. If you lose something,

don't let it be your happiness.

Life's too short to waste your

time on those who aren't worth

it and some people are only

meant to stay in your life for so

long. Use past experiences as a

tool to grow(not as a crutch)

and embrace forgiveness. I do

this to let you know it's possible

to be happy, healthy and strong,

but it all depends on what you

do and how you do it.

Mistakes are the building blocks of success

I hope that in this year to come,

you make mistakes. Because if

you are making mistakes, then you

are making new things, trying new

things, learning, living, pushing

yourself, changing yourself,

changing your world. You are

doing things you have never done

before, and more importantly, you

are doing something. So that is

my wish for you, and all of us.

And my wish for myself. Make

new mistakes. Make glorious,

amazing mistakes.… Continue

Divelop yourself

If you don't take care of
yourself, how can you expect to
take care of anyone else?
Make yourself a priority and
invest in YOU!
It's your life, MAKE IT EPIC!

I just can't give up now

There will be mountains that I will
have to climb
And there will be battles that I will
have to fight
But victory or defeat, it's up to me
to decide
But how can I expect to win If I
never try.
I just can't give up now
I've come too far from where I
started from
Nobody told me the road would be
easy
and I don't believe he brought me
this far to leave me

5 life lessons of a pencil we can apply them in our lives

A pencil maker told the pencil 5
important lessons just before
putting it in the box:
1. Everything you do you will
always leave a mark.
2. You can always correct the
mistakes you make.
3. What is important is what is
inside of you.
4. In life, you will undergo painful
sharpening which will only make
you better.
5. To be the best pencil, you must
allow yourself to be held and
guided by the hand that holds
you.

Focus on today

Focus on today. One of my
favorite sayings is, “Yesterday
ended last night.” It doesn’t
matter whether yesterday was
good or bad. It’s over. Don’t get
stuck there. For that matter, don’t
think too much about the future,
either. You can’t change the past;
you can’t mold the future. But you
can influence what happens right
now. Give the present day your
full attention and best effort.

Black child its possible

FORGET about those who don't
believe u will one day b wealthy!
Remember God gave u that vision
alone 2 fulfil & it doesn't matter if
ur story begins in a shack, what
matters most is that it may end in
a mansion! Don’t give anyone the
power to put you down. Don’t quit
just because they say you can’t.
Instead, use their words to
motivate your drive! BLACK CHILD
ITS POSSIBLE

Be honest with yourself

”An amazing thing happens

when you get honest with

yourself and start doing what

you love, what makes you

happy. Your life literally slows

down. You stop wishing for the

weekend. You stop merely

looking forward to special

events. You begin to live in

each moment and you start

feeling like a human being. You

just ride the wave that is life,

with this feeling of contentment

and joy. You move fluidly,

steadily, calm and… Continue

Enjoy yo day

“Dance. Smile. Giggle. Marvel.
TRUST. HOPE. LOVE. WISH.
BELIEVE. Most of all, enjoy
every moment of the journey,
and appreciate where you are at
this moment instead of always
focusing on how far you have to
go.”*

Greatness

Leap and grow your wings on the

way down. Put all your bets on

you and on your ability to achieve

your goals. Throw caution to the

wind!

If you have a catastrophic set-

back, know that you have the

power to over come it. If you lose

a job, you will find another, or

create one. If you make some

mistakes, learn from them and

come back again.

This is a time to use your talents,

skills and resourcefulness to

make a fundamental… Continue
