Conforming of any kind leads to comprises of one’s personal values and standards. It weakens and diminishes every area of one’s life. Say NO! It’s rewarding!

The decision to become a serving, encouraging person is a decision that requires seeing people from God's perspective, not from a human point. Only with an eye of faith, hope and love can we strive to recognise potential in someone. 24/03/2026 NO : 437

The Genesis 50:20 rule: Genesis 50:20 As for you, you thought evil against me, but God meant it for good, to bring about that many people should be kept alive, as they are this day.

I've been thinking about forgiveness and it's effects
on life in general. Forgiveness and unforgiveness is a
double-edge sword. It can be a blessing or a curse on life. It can be a stumbling block or a release of new life.
The choice is ours to make. NO : 434

Consistency the bedrock of a winning strategy. Therefore aim for consistency not perfection. To win start small so your mind can't reject it. Consistency beats motivation. Excellence is built through consistency.

Growth in any form, either mentally, emotionally or spiritually doesn't happen by accident but by awareness, effort and consistency. Habits are too light to be felt until they are too heavy. Is your habits helping you grow or quietly holding you back.

/SENECA cautions that in keeping worry it constantly tenses us against an imaginary catastrophe, which prevents us from living fully. This means live well by balancing everything and keep ourselves from worrying.

Keep doing what is right, even when motives around you are wrong. Consistency in righteousness silence conspiracy. Obedience is key to everything. Stay far from what harms you and restore your confidence by expanding your influences. 04/02/2026 NO : 391

We pay a price for fear of failure, it's a powerful obstacle to growth. The fear of failure prevents exploration & experimentation. There is no learning without some difficulty & fumbling. If you want to keep learning, you must keep on risking failure. themarqinalian.

Stagnation is the bane of existant. New beginnings are  possibilities within us. No area of living exposes our power and vulnerability brightly than a new beginning. It's  the thrill of leaping into the unknown keeps us moving into new possibilities.

“We ought to obey God rather than man." came the thunderous reply from the Apostles. Daniel and his three friends refused to obey the worship of man. God has a law, Man as a law, you got to break either one. Which one?

Meanwhile, the ANC waves the fig leaf of the Constitution, pretending that we’ve moved on from the bad old days. And yet, it is very clear that we haven’t. And South Africa keeps mortgaging its future, to the extent that it may not have one. DM
