Day 40 – “BE GRATEFUL AND BE CAREFUL” 

Welcome to another day that has the potential to bring change in your life. Remember to read this message out loud and read only this message for the day. You inspire for you to be inspired.

Remember: #ItsPossibleBecauseItsDoable

What we consume, do, and think have a great impact on how our lives will turn out; the same can be said of the people we associate with. It is the decisions we make today that define our future. Be thankful for all the blessings, but be mindful of your choices – they will chart the course of your destiny.

I have witnessed the destruction of so many who had become overconfident in what they had. Friends who had soared to great heights only to find themselves plummeting back to Earth, brought low by what they’d once prized. Hold your possessions lightly, and be mindful of your words and actions. As you ascend, remember to keep a humble attitude; for none is ever so high that they may do without the help of others. And bear this in mind: whilst the bird may fly higher than any in the sky, it still must alight to the ground for its drink. Cherish your blessings and remain vigilant; keep your head in the clouds and your feet on the ground.

You don’t want to join the company of those who have been ruined by their desire to possess more than what they need. Look after what you have before seeking more. I was once a scapegoat for losing what I had due to my aspirations. It is totally fine to be ambitious, to be dedicated towards your goals and to seize excellent prospects but never ever let go of what is in your hands.

Don’t let yourself become consumed by the chase of something “better”, to the point that you lose the things and people that you hold dear. Honour those around you and show kindness, without always expecting something back in return. Remember that life should not revolve around the attainment of material possessions or success, and be grateful for all that comes to you. Look after yourself, and those that you love, and respect the journey of life.

Plan of Action:

1. Acknowledge and be thankful for the blessings and good fortune in life.

2. Practice healthy self-care habits such as exercise, healthy eating, sleep, and stress relief.

3. Spend time reflecting on decisions and the consequences they may have, before making them.

4. Keep a humble attitude and remember to remain grounded in all pursuits.

5. Avoid becoming overconfident and over-reliant on possessions and material objects.

6. Honour and respect relationships with others.

7. Practice kindness, even if something beneficial isn’t expected in return.

8. Refrain from letting possession or attainment of success consume life.

9. Regard life as a journey, not a destination.

10. Avoid chasing something “better” and potentially risking things and people in the process.
