strive

Children don't understand, when things aren't given. The single parent struggling to provide; how they sacrifice themselves, by sweeping their dreams and goals under the table, just to bring bread and beans on the table.

Your current situation = the life expectations you have accepted as completed, unless you change your comfort zone to create a better life.

Great men don't strive for greatness, theysimply do great works.

God__ grace does not require a condition to abound. However to obtain the promises of his blessings, you have to strive for it, fight for it, work hard for it and insist upon it.

Strive hard to be among the top performers. To do this, create a standard. Go higher than this standard. Set another higher standard; surpass it and repeat the process.

We have come to love darkness of religion rather than striving to understand how the world is supposed to function.

When both partners strive for a marriage that honours and pleases God, they can be assured of an everlasting joy and peace.

Life is a balance. We tend to forget that as we go blithely from day to day. We eat and drink and sleep and assume we will always rise up the next day, that meals and rest will always replenish us. Injuries we expect to heal, and pain to lessen as time goes by. Even when we are faced with wounds that heal more slowly, with pain that lessens by day only to return in full force at nightfall, even when sleep does not leave us rested, we still expect that somehow tomorrow will all come back into balance and that we will go on. At some point, the exquisite balance has tipped, and despite all our flailing efforts, we begin the slow fall from the body that maintains itself to the body that struggles, nails clawing, to cling to what it used to be.

It is a blessing to experience hardship. Not because we suffer, but because we learn to endure.

The view from above is always beautiful. Strive to go there, but never forget to be kind.

Leaders do what is uncomfortable but helpful. They run away from the comfort that doesn't produce any help for the world.

When you strive for excellence in leadership, then you will excel as a leader.

The strongest storms make the best sailors. The strongest games make the best players. Tougher challenges make the best leaders.

Whatever you want is behind the mountain of struggles. Nothing great comes with ease.

Avoid trying to win tough battles on the silver platter. If the struggle is tough the success is sweet.

Most times, the leader__ ornament isn__ the smiles you see on their faces during the time of victory. It is the sweats we don__ see when they were struggling behind the scenes.

Refusal to engage in spiritual warfare does not exempt you from being among the next casualties of war

Whatever you have not strived hard to achieve will not strive hard to fade. Success built on hard work is the kind that lasts longer.
