Believe You Can And You Will

When “the road darkens” it is an opportunity to look up to the stars. Reach out to your close friends for example and adjust your attitude, be generally agreeable and you will enlist all the willing helpers.

By Sylvester Oluoch

“Faithless is he that says farewell when the road darkens.” – J.R.R. Tolkien.

Faith is the evidence of things hoped for, the substance of things unseen. Develop enough faith to hold your desired end at heart even if “things go South or swing sideways.”

Should you find yourself in challenging situations, consolidate your strength. Do not look at your circumstances, remember your resolve and focus on your desired end.

When “the road darkens” it is an opportunity to look up to the stars. Reach out to your close friends for example and adjust your attitude, be generally agreeable and you will enlist all the willing helpers.
