The entire journey of life is lived with energy and we use energy in all that we do from dawn to dusk! When your energy goes down, something goes down. We can do anything with our energy but not all things deserve our true energy! We have, all of us, a choice to choose where our energy must go when day breaks. We can choose to allow anything at all take our energy, but we must not forget that where our energy goes, from there comes something to us; something good or something bad, something mediocre or something noble, something that will disturb us or something that will enhance our joy, latently or visibly, now or tomorrow. We must always remember each day that same energy that is exerted on wrong things to attract and produce wrong things can be exerted on good things to produce good and great things!

Ernest Agyemang Yeboah

Achievers are biased towards action despite any fear, and this courage sets them apart from others.

You need courage because at various moments in your life you might need to attempt something new, push yourself outside your comfort zone, challenge the status quo, change your story, or overcome your fear.

Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.

The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.

Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.

Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.

Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.

Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.

Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.

If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.

Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.

The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.

You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.

To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.

There isn’t a single definition of happiness to suit everyone’s requirements, but you know it when you feel it

Success and the pursuit of it can nourish your body, but only significance has the ability to nourish your mind, body and spirit.
