TODAY’S TONIC: Why should I give it my all? By Bishop Duke Akamisoko

There comes a time in life when you will be required to give it your all. This might involve taking on new responsibilities at work, taking the leap and going full time with your own business idea, or even deciding to get married.
During these phases of life, it’s imperative that you give it everything you’ve got. You’ve made a decision, so now is not the time to do something half-heartedly. It’s time to be brave and try with all your power to get the results you want.
“Never give up. Today is hard, tomorrow will be worse, but the day after tomorrow will be sunshine. Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn. Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it. Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime. Never give up on your dreams, no matter how painful and difficult your journey is. Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
Every human has four endowments – self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change. Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don’t give up. If you have a positive attitude and constantly strive to give your best effort, eventually you will overcome your immediate problems and find you are ready for greater challenges. You are capable of more than you know. Choose a goal that seems right for you and strive to be the best, however hard the path. Aim high. Behave honorably. Prepare to be alone at times, and to endure failure. Persist! The world needs all you can .,Just dream big. Go for it. There’s nothing holding you back. You can have ups and downs, but if you believe in something, keep the faith; keep fighting. And don’t let people put you down. Noi Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads, laugh as much as you can, and give back. My goal is to show young women and girls that our voices and ideas matter, and you are never too young to dream big! All you need is heart, work ethic, and to dream big.
All you have to do is to dream big and try to fulfil it. The first ‘D’ is to dream: dream big – not for yourself, but for the country and for the world. The second ‘D’ is to discover: discover your full potential and the opportunities that surround you; and the third ‘D’ is to do. ‘Do’ means to act on your dreams and make best use of the opportunities you have discovered. Don’t hold on to the past; it won’t help in moving forward. Dare to dream big. I am one of four girls and was inspired by my father to dream big. Some girls want to be doctors, but I wanted to run a company. Lots of people dream big and talk about big bold ideas but never do anything. I judge people by what they’ve done. The ratio of something to nothing is infinite. So just do something. If you do what you’ve always done, you just get more of what you have always had. We’ve now got to dream big and act bold. Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going. As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success. Just keep going. You never know how far you can go. Keep going and keep believing and do what makes you feel good. And when you feel good and get to the point where no-one can take that from you, then that feeling will the best feeling. You simply have to put one foot in front of the other and keep going. Put blinders on and plow right ahead.Always believe in yourself and keep going. You don’t have to have the most talent in the world. You don’t have to be the smartest person in the world. If you persist and you persist and you persist, you will be successful.goes down a road that they’re not supposed to go down. You can do two things from it. You can keep going down that road and go to a dark place. Or you can turn and go up the hill and go to the top – try to go to the top. Determination gives you the resolve to keep going in spite of the roadblocks that lay before you. You have to keep going and pursue your dreams.
Do your little bit of good where you are; it’s those little bits of good put together that overwhelm the world. Keep your face always toward the sunshine – and shadows will fall behind you. We must let go of the life we have planned, so as to accept the one that is waiting for us.I hated every minute of training, but I said, ‘Don’t quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion.” – Muhammad Ali
My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. It is never too late to be what you might have been.
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards. If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door. Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start. It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better. Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don’t lose the passion and the love for what you do. All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today. Try to learn something about everything and everything about something. Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it. It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something. I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest. Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.
When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.
Whatever you want to do in life, just know that you will do it. Just believe in yourself. It might take so many years to finally accomplish that, but you have to work for it.
If you believe you can make a difference, then you will make a difference. Believe in yourself, your family and your community and you will win. Confident is believing in yourself. Being humble is, even though you believe in yourself and you know what you’re capable of, you still work 10 times harder than your opponent to make sure you get the oiîYou can have all the tools in the world but if you don’t genuinely believe in yourself, it’s useless. I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed. I’m Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive. There is only one basic human right, the right to do as you damn well please. And with it comes the only basic human duty, the duty to take the consequences. Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience.Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever. If you take no risks, you will suffer no defeats. But if you take no risks, you win no victories. Every breath we take, every step we make, can be filled with peace, joy and serenity. There are two kinds of people, those who do the work and those who take the credit. Try to be in the first group; there is less competition there.
Some people say I have attitude – maybe I do… but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does – that makes you a winner right there. Whatever you want in life, other people are going to want it too. Believe in yourself enough to accept the idea that you have an equal right to it. We all have different things that we go through in our everyday life, and it’s really important to know just at the end of the day, it doesn’t matter what you face, you know, that you’re going to win at the end of the day. You got to believe in yourself. You got to believe in God, know that He’s going to get you through it.
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I’ve accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it. You have to believe in yourself, challenge yourself, and push yourself until the very end; that’s the only way you’ll succeed.
Believe in yourself! Have faith in your abilities! Without a humble but reasonable confidence in your own powers you cannot be successful . Follow your dreams. If you have a goal, and you want to achieve it, then work hard and do everything you can to get there, and one day it will come true. I would encourage you to set really high goals. Set goals that, when you set them, you think they’re impossible. But then every day you can work towards them, and anything is possible, so keep working hard and follow your dreams. You’ll be much more successful if you follow your dreams and follow your passions. It doesn’t matter how you look. As long as you train hard, you focus and you’re hungry, and that drive is in you to follow your dreams, everything is possible. You have to have patience, work hard and preserve in order to follow your dreams. You can’t predict it all. People will tell you to plan things out as best you can. They will tell you to focus. They’ll tell you to follow your dreams. They will all be right. Someone once told me… ‘Anh believe in your dreams!’ I always have and always will, and I think that if you follow your dreams in life, you really can live an amazing life. Just dream big. Go for it. There’s nothing holding you back. You can have ups and downs, but if you believe in something, keep the faith; keep fighting. And don’t let people put you down. All you need is heart, work ethic, and to dream big. Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift, the power to work is a blessing, the love of work is success
