Wisdom Quote by Gift Gugu Mona — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Evaluate your steps. If you have not achieved the goals you set for yourself in the past five years, it is time to take stock of your plans, and prepare for success.”

“You will be tempted to give up a few times, but keep praying so you do not miss out when your victory comes.”

“Beyond that closed door, there are lessons. Let those lessons inspire you to become a success.”

“Time may not be on your side, but if you decide to maximize the time you have now, prioritize your tasks, make every second count, and do not waste any minute under your watch, you will succeed in life.”

“Look at those dazzling mountains, their peaks kissed by the sun, and their slopes adorned with lush greenery. Thank God for letting you witness such stunning beauty.”

“Beat all kinds of fear. Be steadfast in your values and principles as you earnestly pursue success.”

“For my own part, I tend to find the doctrinal books often more helpful in devotion than the devotional books, and I rather suspect that the same experience may await others. I believe that many who find that ‘nothing happens’ when they sit down, or kneel down, to a book of devotion, would find that the heart sings unbidden while they are working their way through a tough bit of theology with a pipe in their teeth and a pencil in their hand.”

“People are always complaining that life's not fair, but that simply isn't true. Life is extraordinarily fair. It's just not centered on you.”

“You're going to meet many people with domineering personalities: the loud, the obnoxious, those that noisily stake their claims in your territory and everywhere else they set foot on. This is the blueprint of a predator. Predators prey on gentleness, peace, calmness, sweetness and any positivity that they sniff out as weakness. Anything that is happy and at peace they mistake for weakness. It's not your job to change these people, but it's your job to show them that your peace and gentleness do not equate to weakness. I have always appeared to be fragile and delicate but the thing is, I am not fragile and I am not delicate. I am very gentle but I can show you that the gentle also possess a poison. I compare myself to silk. People mistake silk to be weak but a silk handkerchief can protect the wearer from a gunshot. There are many people who will want to befriend you if you fit the description of what they think is weak; predators want to have friends that they can dominate over because that makes them feel strong and important. The truth is that predators have no strength and no courage. It is you who are strong, and it is you who has courage. I have lost many a friend over the fact that when they attempt to rip me, they can't. They accuse me of being deceiving; I am not deceiving, I am just made of silk. It is they who are stupid and wrongly take gentleness and fairness for weakness. There are many more predators in this world, so I want you to be made of silk. You are silk.”
