"No one's coming to push you. No one's coming to tell you turn the Tv off. No one's 

coming to tell you to get out door and exercise. Nobody  is coming to tell you to apply for  

that job that you always dreamt about. No one's coming to write the business plan for 

you. You got to parent yourself. You got to push yourself." - Mel Robins



As I reflect on these words above from Mel Robins, I look back on my life and remember when I was 

about to take my CSEC exams and I felt like giving up on the SBAs. I remember watching motivational 

videos every night before I started working on them because it was the hardest time for me to focus, at 

these crucial points in our lives things almost always get super difficult to keep under control nevertheless, 

I pulled myself through despite I the personal challenges that I was facing I managed to overcome this 

season by motivating myself and keep it moving.   


To keep it moving can mean pulling yourself through the difficult season that you are facing. 

No one is coming to save you or tell you what to do to save yourself because, only you can know what 

you really need in order to be saved. We can cry out for help but not many will respond because they too 

are busy fixing their own lives, and as Les Brown would say some people are glad that whatever happen to 

you, happened to you because they don't want it to happen to them. 





                                 Keep it moving, even if it means to give all that you got, do it. 



Even though we may face different challenges at times we still need the courage to push forward. This 

does not mean you should push yourself to the extent that you get burnt out but rather go as far as you can 

then take a break but don't stay down for long.

As the sun sets  today reflect on your day all that you have accomplished and all that you wish to 

accomplish. set your goals for tomorrow and ensure that you work on them. Remember to pull yourself 

through, small steps count it is no movement at all that means you have quit the race.

Creating The Best You

 You are Creators  By Jason Grant The flowers of the garden are so graceful, they know their time and season.  A time to light up and blossom colorfully into a beautiful flower, emanating sweet fragrances, and then a season to whither with dried brown leaves and return to the earth. Some human beings are completely different from the flowers of the garden. We find it hard to transition into our next season especially if we're in a season of stagnation, prosperity may seem far fetched. This fear of transition is completely natural because you're leaving a place of familiarity to a new setting. It is said that our comfort zone might be hard to leave because of complacency. When you become complacent you are planted and you see growth or development as a hard task. On December 31, 2015, I decided that I wanted something different for 2016, I decided that who I was in that moment wasn't all that I could so I decided to start my journey to self-development in that year. Self-d...

How to make a team work!

                                                             By: Jason Grant Working with a team can be quite an experience, but working with the right team will help you to be more open when working with others. Teams have a tendency to work well when there is no personality clash. Grouping a set of people together may not always be ideal, just because some people tend to cause ruption. People always have a hard time determining the leader of a group, this is because of the same problem "Personality" it varies from one to the next and even though a leadership will be assigned group members can share in leadership roles, this is how teams play. Creating teamness does not only fall on the shoulders of the leader, as teammates form part of the group. They can create some form of friendship while working together. In...
