Encouragement can come from the successes in your life.

It is like learning to walk again, and as you take each step, as you push yourself that little bit harder each time then you are achieving something that you can see, feel, and touch – you know the results as you move across the floor, and as you reach your goal, you know that you have made it and that the accomplishment is worth being pleased about and something to happily smile over.

People may pat us on the back and give us comforting words, but the real encouragement is in the results that we see and live through.
That is where the real inspiration, confidence and hope is.

And if everyone is saying that you can’t do it, whatever it is that you want to do, then be sure to just smile at them and then do it anyway. Never argue with them, as their arguments are designed to bring you down and make you feel less worthy. Their goal is to put you off before you get started, they want to defeat you before you even try.

Just smile and keep your inner thoughts of success in your own mind. Nothing was ever gained by listening to people tell us that we will not succeed.

It was Michael Jones the New Zealand All Black who had a very serious knee injury and they (the experts in the rugby medical profession) said that Michael would not walk properly again or ever play rugby again. Michael, a Christian proved them all wrong and went on to play internationally for the All Blacks with great style.

Many people have overcome some terrible injuries to get back their fitness again.

Everyone is able to awaken the courage to climb the highest obstacle in their life – we just got to find that spark of hope and then fan it with fresh oxygen (enthusiasm, hope and belief) and get that fire of desire glowing. Let this fire of desire inspire your mind, hopes and dreams. Let it propel you forward to personal success, maturity and self improvement.

All the best from
