**Number 525 Hard work eventually pays!

It takes dedication and hard work to get to the top in life. Ironically it takes more than hard work to stay at the top in life.

The benefits and, or prerequisites of hard work is not about winning – it is about not giving up. If you are like me with a dream; fight and constantly keep fighting for that dream; no matter how tough it is going to be.

Do not take into consideration the number of times you have been rejected, broken or fallen down.

What will ultimately dignify your character which will compliment your hard work is how many times you get back on your feet when you find yourself down.

At a point in time – I got to the height of my career to the extent of feeling invincible. I felt nothing on the fifth of the planet is powerful enough to bring me to ground zero. My assumption was completely out of place and wrong.

In time the carpet was pulled under my feet largely due to my own fault. I crashed landed and it hurt badly!

Despite my fall, I refused to stay down. I somehow found courage from self discipline and passion to actualise my dreams as the frequency of my dreams came in waves. Instrumental and meaningful dreams never die.

From my lowest points I had to work hard driven by purpose and faith.

Hard work is the bedrock for any progressive human being.

The foundation of hard work is always based on truth, honesty, fairness, determination and faith in God.

If your life is going to be transformed through hard work it means bountiful harvest awaits you but the process is never easy.

Keep pushing! Keep running! Keep driving! Keep walking! If necessary keep crawling! The end result will always justify the means.
