Happy new week my dear friend. I hope you are doing well and still keeping faith in the middle of life’s ups and downs. Today I want to remind you that holding on is not just a decision, it is a beautiful act of courage. In the Bible, there is a story of Job, a man who lost everything he had, yet refused to give up on God. He lost his wealth, his children, and even his health, but in all his pain, he said, “Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.” Job held on when it made no sense to do so, and in the end, everything he lost was restored to him. His story is not just about suffering, it is about strength, patience, and faith that never gives up. Sometimes life will put you in situations that make you question everything you believe. You will pray and get silence, you will work hard and see no result, and you will help people who later turn their backs on you. It will hurt, but those moments are not meant to destroy you, they are meant to prepare you. When you hold on, you build a stre...

  Happy new week my dear friend, I'm so happy to write you again. Today's message is a very important one: persistence is one attribute every successful person can’t tell their story without. Every success story you hear is as a result of the power of persistence. I would have loved to tell my story, but I've mentioned it in numerous articles in the past, and I won’t want to bore you with it today. Instead, I’ll just mention a few names that we may be familiar with, to refresh our memories before delving into the message. Recently, I read some new stories about the famous boxer, Muhammad Ali. I learned about his transition from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, how he faced and fought through racism, and most importantly, the many successes he recorded in the face of these challenges, none of which would have been possible without persistence. Also, the story of Thomas Edison comes to mind. His teacher referred to him as ADDLED (confused or mentally slow) and even sent a letter...

  Happy new week my dear friend, let's continue our conversation on "Endurance" and today it will be about how life tests our limits. Life often brings us face-to-face with challenges that seem bigger than our strength, heavier than our shoulders can carry, and longer than our patience can endure. These moments don’t come to destroy us but to define us. When life tests your limits, it’s not trying to expose your weakness, it’s trying to reveal your strength. The truth is, you never really know how strong you are until being strong becomes the only option you have left. Every person has a breaking point, but endurance is what separates those who rise from those who give up. The storms that shake us are also the ones that shape us. You might feel stretched, pressed, or cornered, but remember: gold only shines after it’s refined in fire. Likewise, your trials are the flames that purify your purpose. So when the world feels too heavy, remind yourself that pressure is proof of...

  Happy new month my dear friend, I'm so glad to write you again this month. I hope you were blessed through last month's messages, and I'm sure this month will be much better, as we'll be talking about ENDURANCE. Endurance is not just about surviving the storm; it’s about learning to dance in the rain until the clouds clear. It’s the inner strength that whispers “keep going” when everything around screams “give up.” Life, by design, tests our patience, faith, and willpower. But in every hardship lies a silent invitation to grow, to evolve, and to prove that we are more than our pain. Without endurance, dreams fade at the first sign of difficulty, and destinies die before they are born. Every great story, whether of heroes, nations, or simple everyday people is stitched together by endurance. The world remembers not those who never fell, but those who refused to stay down. Endurance is what turns failure into experience, loss into wisdom, and delay into destiny. It teac...
