Do you know that God didn’t keep you alive just because He loves you?
You heard me right! God loves you, but that’s not enough reason for Him to give you life.
I’ll explain myself, so don’t think of me as an atheist or agnostic yet.
If you think you’re alive because God loves you so much, then tell me what He feels about the people who have died – especially the young gifted people that you know of.
So think with me for a moment and answer the following questions;
Do you think God hates those that die too young?
I bet your answer to that question is no.
Why then do you think you’re alive only because you’re God’s love?
I am sure by now you understand the logic behind my thoughts and if not feel free to send me an email for further discussion.
Here’s the real reason why you're still alive though. Find out in the track below.

I know the world will always have some sort of problem to battle with at every point in our lifetime. However big (like this wicked coronavirus pandemic) or small (like what to eat from the many options in the kitchens) these problems are, no one can be as surreal as one’s current personal problem that needs to be solved asap. Unless the struggles of the world around us get to us personally, our personal struggles are yet the most frustrating per time. Hence, your personal struggles are very important to you, and mine very important to me. I hope this message helps you through Your struggles today

This concept was inspired by the Spartacus series, a story about a small group of Spartan slave-warriors that went on to conquer their enemies - the almighty Roman army of the ancient city of Rome. Their mantra was "Kill them all".

“If You Want To Grow In Business, Build and Protect Your Brand’s Reputation.” Sometimes all that you’ll have left to save you from a meltdown will be your good reputation. Hence, build and protect it passionately regardless of your age, location, professional, or qualification. As an Entrepreneur, Business Consultant and Speaker who loves to help individuals and businesses that want to grow to make more impact and get more profit at a timely pace, I have spoken and worked with lots of youths and broke people. From experience, I have noticed that some individuals who are trying to navigate upward the social class ladder don’t care so much about their reputation (regardless of their religion and ethnicity) simply because they think along the line of “getting the best results fast and by all means possible”. You need to listen to this.
