New year is almost here, and many of you are so excited right? I am super excited too and literally counting down every second to the new year. What is in store for you in the new year is unknown, but while you live your life the best way you can, as time goes on it will all unravel. Hopefully it will all be for your good. Life is a mystery, but those who are patient and seek the right path, always achieve their purpose in the end. This week’s quotes are to motivate you as you enter into the new year. Hopefully one or two might do it for you.
While you all go about writing down your new year resolutions that almost 98.99% of you will not have the tenacity to maintain till after the first quarter of 2021, I urge you to at least hold onto a specific resolution and never let go. Don’t we all stray at some point while struggling to keep up with our vows and promises? I know right? Show me the person who writes down 10 new year resolutions and adheres to all, and I will have a serious conversion with him/her on how they nailed it for 12 whole months without breaches. Really, that is commendable. I wish you all a fruitful 2021. Do have a good read.

Their poverty in the west is a different kind of poverty…it is not only poverty of loneliness but also of spirituality. There’s a hunger for God”.

POETRY QUOTE
“To be nobody but yourself
In a world which is doing its best day and night
To make you like everybody else,
Means to fight the hardest battle
Which any human being can fight,
And never stop fighting”.
E.E Cummings
“The Road Not Taken
Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the under growth,
Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as far as that the passing there
Had torn them really about the same,
And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black
Oh, I kept the first for another day
Yet knowing how way leads onto way,
I doubted if I should ever come back,
I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference”.
Robert Frost
