During the Christmas season I was invited by a friend to go on an outreach to some orphanages with her. I quickly agreed and prepared towards that. We set out on the eve of Christmas and were able to visit two orphanages. When we got to the first one, we met one of the caregivers holding an infant of say 4-5 months and as we proceeded with the discussions and questions about how they do what they do the story of that little baby came up. She was born to a mother who didn't want her and wanted to kill her by suffocation until a friend of the mum walked in and caught her in the act and stopped her. She then suggested that instead of doing that let them take the baby to an orphanage and that was how she got there.  This and several other stories about how most of the children got there were told and it was a sad and sobering moment for me and the other members of the team we went with.

Hi everyone! On our new week motivation today I'll just want to encourage you that as you embark on this journey to having a great and profitable year make sure you deliberately choose to be a doer not just a sayer. There will be so many lessons, seminars, conferences, courses you will embark on and lots of things will be taught. The key to being successful is taking those things one at a time and making sure you imbibe them until you see results. This is the spirit that births greatness. Great people are those who do not just get carried away with the euphoria of learning, listening to motivational speeches but those who take the extra step to practice what they have learnt until it becomes results.  So as you journey through the year, make up your mind that you will be an achiever not by just saying but by doing.  Remember what you don't put to use becomes USE-LESS. Have a fruitful week.  Photo credit: hotandcoldaf.devianart.com
