Surprise surprise, I am back

Good morning Reader And it is great writing to you again. I trust you've been doing great in everything you do. As you are closing another year of your life, let us remember to assess and be of more gratitude in our hearts. Many people couldn't see this year-2025, even this month, others couldn't even see this day. But by Gods grace, we are alive today. Isn't that something to be grateful for? Well, this season is a season of joy and celebration but... I plead that as you go about with excitement, Don't take your foot completely of the pedal! Remain purposeful in everything that you do. What you eat, what you drink, who you speak to, How you dress, the state of your mind etc. That's it. One day of slumber can cause you - your entire empire which you've built all these years. Remember what happened to Samson, King David and other biblical heros. In a moment they fell for a minor compromise. If you have done so much wrong this year or you just feel deserted, that's not strange or new, don't beat yourself up. Fellow, take up your cross and keep moving forward. Don't give up for any reason. I literally wish I had such words said to me at the lowest point in my life, that's why I never grow weary from encouraging you. Take this to heart, read it again and again. See you next time. Remain rugged – Junior Shalom!

There are things a man can live without. Money. Recognition. Comfort. A relationship. A big house. A nice car. Even certainty. But there are certain things you cannot afford to neglect if you want to become the man you were created to be. And I don't mean the things the world tells you to chase. I'm talking about the foundations. Because a man can have money and still be lost. He can have a great physique and still be weak. He can have women and still be empty. He can have influence and still...
There is a question I've asked myself more times than I would like to admit: “What exactly am I supposed to be doing?” Maybe you've asked yourself the same question. You want to know your purpose. You want to know the right career. The right business. The right woman. The right city. The right investment. The right training program. The right decision. So you keep looking. You research. You pray. You think. You compare. You wait. And then you convince yourself that you're still searching for...
There is a version of faith that sounds spiritual but quietly keeps a man stuck. You pray. You wait. You ask God for direction. You tell yourself that if it is meant to happen, God will make it happen. So you do nothing. And when nothing changes, you say: “I'm still waiting on God.” I've had to learn the difference between trusting God and using God as an excuse for inaction. Because they are not the same thing. I believe God gives the mission. The man has to move. I've always believed there...
