Keep moving forward

                
The sign that a man is foolish is to see him never rising again whenever life pulls him down. Greatness comes only to those who keep defying the obstacles in their paths ~ whether by others or by life itself. Remember, nothing good comes easy. It demands sacrifices wisdom, luck and divine favours. It arrives by taking up opportunities at the right time and daring to take the risks others fear. But never forget to always pray for grace and guidance. Pray as if success is impossible without prayer, and work as if without effort poverty is inescapable. Tho' it's easier said than done but no great thing comes easy. Once an opportunity is lost, it is rarely found again. Only stop when your last breath is drawn Until then ~ just keep moving forward.
