Sorry I haven’t been writing my Jay’s Thought of The Day of (TOTD) but I’m back!

My TOTD was a short daily encouraging text message that I started sending to my closest contacts over the last four years and now I’ve decided to make it a tad bit longer and post on the site. Enjoy.

**********************
JAY’S TOTD: Try launching a dream and people wouldn’t want to believe in you, They would give you every excuse why you shouldn’t! Execute that dream and watch everyone try to be your best friend!
**********************

It’s amazing the way life is. When you aspire to become and dare to believe, you would find the closest people to you doubting you the most. The ones that should know you  and your capabilities by now; they are the ones who sometimes put up the most oppositions to your dreams!

Now turn that sucka into something successful and those same people who were laughing at you, now want to change their story. They will claim they always believed you could do it and and now want to  jump on the bandwagon after all the hard work has been done. Thinking to themselves, how can I get in on that?

You only really need about 3 closest people in your life; God, your spouse or parent or a REAL best friend and yourself!

* God is the driving force behind all of my dreams. Faith in him brings it into reality. I AM NOT WHO PEOPLE SAY I AM BUT WHO GOD SAYS I AM. I am not limited to what they believe but what he has pre-destined me for!
* My best friend is my husband and I have to admit he’s right all of the times, doesn’t sugarcoat anything, supports and encourages me yet will always keep it real, even when it hurts. That’s someone to have in your corner!
* Even David had to encourage himself. Trust me, in this world you will at most times be your own cheerleader, your own motivational speaker, your own prayer buddy and sometimes your own best friend!

Against all odds, trials, tribulations and heartache…….YOU CAN DO IT…….just believe in yourself and stay focused.

I believe in you!

    AMAZINGLY true!! Frequently people are doubters even those that love you, simply because they live in fear and not in faith. And people have to realize even if your venture does not work out as planned it doesn’t necessarily mean failure… It’s often just a lesson learned….Have faith…
