It is important to shift your focus, in order to live a successful life. So many people are focused on the wrong things. They are focused on what other people think about them. They are focused on what they wear and how they look, focused on the car they drive and where they want to live, they are focused on the type of alcohol they drink and the club they go to. They are focused on impressing people who don't care about them. These are all wrong things, perceptions and illusions, they are not real! They are blinding us from seeing reality.
Most of the times we hear people say I want this or that. And I have to admit, we all fall victim to this, myself included as some point. But you have to come to a point where you realize that, this is just talking. Yes, you say you want to lose weight, you want more money, you want a better job and more! But the fact is; most people are not ready and open to receive what they say they want. They are not willing to do what it takes.
In your lifetime, you must ask and answer these questions, in order to have a meaningful and fulfilling life.
2 million years ago, when human beings first migrated out of Africa, there were no houses, they lived in caves and under trees. There were no tarred roads, pavements, cars, trains, airplanes and everything else we see today. It was just vast lands, jungles, forests, desserts, mountains, oceans and living creatures. So, where did all of these things come from? Someday, somehow, someone thought of a different mode of transport other than a horse and they built a vehicle, a steam locomotive. The Wright-Brothers thought of a flying machine and they built an airplane. There are many more examples. Literally, every single thing you see now started as a thought, and was created into reality. We as human beings have the ability to create our own reality. We can create anything you can think of, it always starts with thoughts. That's the POWER OF THOUGHTS.
This topic is very important because, it has shaped over 90% of our lives and where we are now. A study done by Harvard indicates that, 45% of what we do daily is habit. Our lives are as a result of choices we make daily. Your days are like your life in miniature, as you live each day, you create your life. So, the question is: what is it that you do daily? Who do you spend most of your time with? It's a fact that you are an average of 5 people you spend most of your time with. Another fact is, you earn 20% of the total income of 5 of your closest friends! The truth is harsh, but in life we must face the brutal facts in order to make the necessary changes.

He lead by example, he was brave, he had integrity, humility, kindness understanding, he was loving and dignified.
