Action!

As you reap you will sew
Furthermore, keep in mind that every failure or setbacks you may encounter right now, in whatever life aspect, whether it’s about your health vs. illness, academic or professional status, relationships, finance… do not come overnight. Whatever you like or thriving to or dislike, come always a result of your decisions and choices you make every single day. Making no decision and choices and being inert is also a decision for which you must take your responsibility.
Ask yourself:
- How and to what extent decision I have made today will impact my life in the medium- or long-term future?
- How my bad habits be it : poor diet, smoking, alcohol, lack of physical activities, consumption of toxic and negative content in reading or spending too much time on internet and social network platform, hanging on with toxic and people with negative and pessimistic view to life, negative self-talk, self-criticism, perfectionism, dishonesty, and generally speaking breaking the Natural laws – will affect my thoughts (mood), feelings and behaviour/outcomes?
Do not be led astray. Don’t be fooled and stupid. If you mess up your academic achievement, friendship, careers, health, love relationship, marriage, you may get upset and often blame God. Nothing to do with God. You did this to you for good or bad.
If you plant good and healthy habits, you’ll get good outcomes. If you plant bad and unhealthy habits, expect not good outcomes. You reap what you sow.
Consequently , if you do not like what you’re reaping, then it’s time to change what you’re sowing. If you don’t like the harvest, change the seed.

Everything in life occupies space and time, right? So even if you find yourself down and lack motivation because you see no immediate progress and everything seems like it is against you, do not take it for granted. Do not ever discourage yourself or let others to keep you down. Be patient and learn how to become your own life screenwriter and a movie director.
