Of all we need to know the power will hold when it comes to what will think with our mind and how powerful our mind on it own can either gives us victory or defeat e en without doing anything, their is this bible saying ,that out of the abundance of the heart ,our Mouth speaks.
We really need to know how to use our mind in a positive way and understand that life on it own won't give things to us easily without we pushing for it and that is the place of been positive about situation irrespective of how bad or tough it might look,once you get defeated with your thought,it will be hard to achieve any better end results on such project,might be business or anything,also learn to stay on your own,like be yourself.
comparison kills alot and many as tried this often and often,but they end up ending as a failure, people's capacity are different, it's not a crime to see people and get motivated,but it becomes a crime to try and imitate their steps cause at times it might not end up well.
Take successful people as an inspiration to get yourself and keep pushing by believing in yourself ,that if other's can ,you too can do better.
