When we are placed in a set of circumstances where we have to take initiative and be creative, some of us find it hard to transition. Those people have been trained not to think but to obey orders.

If you think down, you will go down. If you think up, you will go up. You’ll always travel in the direction of your thinking.

We are the people that we have been waiting for and no one else is coming.
If you have the FAITH to believe it, you have the POWER to conceive it!
