Climbing the ladder of life

By Thabiso Msomi

Life is like a river. It will flow throughout. In a river there will be stones where water will
first hit then pass. In life there are problems which were designed for a human being to face
and see whether that person would be able to climb the first step of the ladder of life.

I would like to thank a few people who have been with me in the journey of life and who
have been helping me with what they do and what they say and I will also pass by saying, If
you a person that is there to make your boat sway in the correct direction you have to keep
that person. I will start by mentioning my Spiritual Brothers Simphiwe Gudazi, Lwazi
Mthombeni, and Simo Luthuli. Then coming to the Sophisticated human being who kept on
telling me that if you have a plan and you want to make it work just do it; Muhle Ndwalane,
Buhlebenkosi Nala, Siyabonga Nkosi, Khethokuhle Dlamini, Siyanda Poseka, Mabutho
Mbatha, Malusi Ngidi, Chulumancu Sigcawu, Thamsanqa Mchunu, Sfundo Shabalala,
Sphamandla Mthembu, Thulani Nzama, Sbonginkosi Ncwane and Thabani Ngcono. Coming
to the people who made me strong up until now; Asisipho Gagayi, Nkosephayo Magagula,
Nomvelo Cele, Pamela Mkhize, Precious Mkhungo, Nozipho Mkhatshwa, Anusha Chetty,
Brighton Shandu, Fezile Zulu, Londiwe Mthembu, Londeka Goge, Vuyo Msomi,
Thembelihle Radebe, Nthabiseng Mokoena, Ongako Ntanta, Zethu Gagayi, Mercy Malaka,
Sphelele Chiliza, Pamella Cebekhulu, Siyethemba Ntobela, Mbalenhle Shandu, Mandisa
Krawe, Ntandokazi Zungu, Owami Mkhombe, Yolani Shumane, Nthabiseng Mokoena,
Londeka Cele and Lona Mfuywa. When there are problems that hit you so hard and you tend
to lose everything, turn to your family because you will never lose your family. Family is
there in hard times and in good times so I will also like to thank the Msomi family for making
me become who I am today.

This book is mainly about the ladder of life. It is based on what you will expect from life and
what will happen in life. I was mainly motivated by different people who are currently
climbing the ladder of life and succeeding. The main reason why I named the book
Climbing The Ladder of Life is because since I have been growing up I have met up with
different challenges that I would like to share with the world. The challenges are spiritual and
physical challenges. The reason why I wrote the novel is because of the people I mentioned
above who have been telling me that I will make it in life and here I am today writing a novel
which eventually will help a lot of people in their lives because less people talk about the
ways of making it in life. Its a hard path but with the help of good and quality people that I
have come across in life made me write about what one can do to make it in life either being
successful or running a business. But the thing is, a life without a motivated mind is useless
because you will end up nowhere. Which then requires to have deep thoughts as to what
really matters and will benefit their own lives in the long run. What we have in our minds
should be nothing but motivation which will make us positive take things into action because
in the end it is stuff that turns out to be something useful for one to be successful. Lets not
forget where we are coming from. The past is a true reflection of who you really are and
where you going to.

 Chapter 1
Changing Your Life

Changing your life only requires you to be patient. You may not know who will make a
change in your life and if that particular person will give you the correct path of life. This
requires you to be in one position where you dont jump around asking for help. It requires
you to wait for the right person because God is still helping other people which simply means
that your day is coming. You need to wait In God not On God. Life is the most incredible
thing that no one can be able to describe with just one word, but it just needs a smart person
that will bring the light to the one who is in the dark.

There are a few elements that can build your life or destroy it. Let me start with family. If you
cannot get any support from your family to make your life different you feel like you are
nothing. In this situation you just need to tell God all the problems about your family. God's
plan about a human beings life is to achieve anything that the person is capable of achieving.

Another element that one can mention is friends. As much as friends are there to support you
in testing times, I believe the devil always finds ways to manipulate the word friend into a
platform to destroy the next persons future. This is why it is important to pray to God and
ask God to help you find friends who want to achieve good things with you.

The last element is a relationship that is between two people who want to grow together in it.
Most people see a relationship as a platform of playing around and being called the best
player not knowing that being the best player could waste your time in achieving what you
want both from a career point of view and personally. When the people who have been
praying to God finally receive what they have been praying for they tend to forget to thank
God for answering their prayers. They are caught up in the moment and he or she forgets that
all good comes from God. Remember, if you want to achieve your goals with your partner
make sure that the both of you have the same mindset of achieving anything with God as
your pillar of strength that helps you grow together day by day.

God is a jealous person because once He gives you something that you need he is testing you
on how you are going to react when He has given you everything that you had asked for.
Because people in life get something from God and they just choose to leave God and enjoy
things from of world forgetting where he or she got the things from God. Life is not an easy
route to take. There are potholes that are created for you to step into in order for you to
experience the dirt, which then means you are going to need certain aspects that will pave a
path for you and those aspects could sometimes the same people that you talk to everyday,
the people who have been on the same path of Climbing The Ladder of Life.

CHANGE TO A POSITIVE LIFESTYLE

 Chapter 2
Life with God

I believe life without God is nothing because you just live life the way you want to live it, but
if you would make God the first priority in your life most things that are happening in your
life like the issues, and the problems you come across would fade away if only you would
give your life to God.

I grew up in a Family that put God first so I kept asking myself when I was growing up that
why are these people praying and thanking God. When I started facing problems only then I
was introduced to Him. The first thing that happened in my life was change and I was a new
person that started talking the Good News about the creator of Heaven and Earth. Because
life is not that easy, I had to face some tests just to prove to myself whether I have faith In
him or not and those tests came from family, friends, colleagues and school mates in all
shapes and sizes. Because you never know how God is planning to test you. But if youre a
believer of God, any obstacle you face, you take as God is testing you.

PSALM 40 verse 1 to 3

"I waited patiently for the lord; he inclined to me and heard my cry. He drew me up from the
pit of destruction, out of the miry bog, and set my feet upon a rock, making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song of praise to our God. Many will see and fear, and put
their trust in the Lord."

Let me remind you, if you want to Climb The Ladder of Life you just need to wear working
suits written "Don't Disturb I'm Under Construction" which simply means that you are
building your relationship with God, so let us all start wearing our working suits and Climb
The Ladder of Life.

Wearing the suit will then make our lives easier because the devil also wears one to distract
you with all the catchy things that are beautiful in this world. At some point you feel so weak
due to the problems that you are facing then you keep on asking yourself where is God,
Why is he watching me suffer like this, why am I getting this punishment? Why me? Why
not them? All of these questions have only one answer. The answer God is still testing
whether you are ready for the world or not. But you can and you will achieve anything only if
and if only you put your faith in him nothing more, nothing less.

Let us break boundaries with God because if you pass all his tests the tears that were dropped
on your pillow won't be compared to the comfortable life that you are set for if you have God
on your side. I have been through a lot and I always ask myself why is it me all the time and I
forget that there is something I need to fix about my connection with the Creator of Heaven
and Earth. Let us break all boundaries with God. Its starts within yourself and knowing life
without God is nothing.
Climbing the Ladder of Life only requires 3 things:

God

Support

Idea

These 3 aspects always make me a different person and make me to be at the level that I want
to be at, but all In all God and support are the main things that will make you to reach your
goals in life so make sure that if you fall you stand up, dust yourself off and carry on running
because life is a race that you need to run up until you reach the finish line. So keep up with
the idea that you have in order for you to grab whatever opportunity with both hands.

I would say there are people who were brought in your life to challenge what you as a human
being try to achieve at that particular time. The Bible mainly teaches us the strategies that one
can make the enemy feel so uncomfortable while you are showing zero signs of ill-treating or
belittling the enemy.

Romans 12 Verse 20 and 21

To the contrary, If your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him something to
drink; for by so doing you will heap burning coals on his head. Do not be overcome by evil,
but overcome evil with good.

While Climbing The Ladder of Life you will need people who are called enemies which I
describe as people who make the good personality out of what you tell yourself you are,
whereas it requires you to be patient with the human that is testing you. Do not blame God
about that person but thank God because He has good plans for you through that person who
is an enemy to you. I always say, God created me to achieve things but what is stopping
me? The answer then is, What kills me is that I always avoid the inner voice which is
separated into two, the Holy Spirit and the evil spirit which is against the Holy Spirit. These
two inner voices fight because they want one thing which is to control my ability of me living
the life I want to live and achieve at that particular time, which then requires one to fight the
inner voice.

The two voices as I have mentioned above that want to control you then require one to pray
to God and ask for the correct direction because the reason why we face a lot of challenges in
our lives is because we fail to pray and thank God. A simple thing like waking up in the
morning and thanking Him for giving you another day. How much more when you are facing
problems which are caused by the direction that you take from listening to the inner voice
which will make you to choose wrong decisions. Sometimes its important to follow what
your heart says, but first try to hear from God first then take the decision.

NEVER FORGET YOUR PURPOSE IN THIS WORLD

 Chapter 3
Breaking Boundaries

Most people always talk about going to different places in the world and breaking boundaries
could be anything that will make you to get to the top. Never quit on what you want to
achieve. Work hard in order for you to get whatever you need in life. Waking up in the
morning not knowing where to start with your journey of life is something that needs you to
sit down and think thoroughly about. In life there will be people who won't support you. Even
in your family, this means that it would require you to take a stand in your life and make your
own decisions that will make you a better person. That is how you can Break Boundaries.

There are people who are made to bring down whatever you are building for your life it
therefore requires you to have be a strong prayer. To tell you the truth, it's not easy to be a
person with a strong prayer but believing that God can help you is the best solution to every
problem that you will face while you are busy breaking boundaries. At some point in your
life, in order for you to break any boundary you will need to put whatever aside and focus on
driving the car that will lead you to a place called an end of the boundary, which simply
means reaching the pinnacle of your success. This is why we give praise to God for each and
everything he has blessed us with.

The way we attract things makes the world go round. The reason why, is because we as
people attract things that wont help us to Climb The Ladder of Life. On the ladder of life
there are people who are mainly attracted to the things that you have worked for but at the
end of the day the ladder has people who will drag you from the top down to the floor. The
reason why is because of the law of attraction. While climbing the ladder of life I so wish that
there was a designed helmet that would be created for one to wear so that he / she wont have
the ability to see what is happening on the side and that is what is killing us as people. We
tend to watch what is happening around us and forget the purpose of getting to the top, which
then the things that we attract attacks things that would drag you from the steps that you have
taken already.

I have been observing on how people approach problems and I find it difficult to tell whether
they are applying the way that they need to attract things for them to stay positive or not. But
then I always say, Is this person applying the attraction in a proper way? This means a
person should now start doing a self-introspection whether they are applying the correct way
of attracting things in a proper manner or I will let the step that I have taken in getting to the
top slip away. Let us make our lives simple by applying what we want in our lives in a good
way. People have signs on their gates that read beware one should have the same sign on
their backs while climbing the ladder of life so that less people will attack you. If you allow
them to grab you, you will fall.

USE YOUR ATTRACTION WISELY.

 Chapter 4
Successful Life

Everyone wants to be successful in life but the reality is, if you want to be successful you
need to move out of your comfort zone because being in a comfort zone makes one feel free
then poverty strikes into your life. This stage, the stage of poverty will state how one can
avoid not to be successful.

Dream about the successful life that you want to have but have this in mind, since Im
dreaming now what is next after what I have dreamt about? Well what is next is to write it
down. Write about your dreams, and the last thing is to Practice it. The only way you can do
that is to create what I call a smart mentality whereby you start asking on how to go about in
obtaining what you want. If you want success start chasing it at an early age because creating
a particular time of achieving something might be dangerous because you might not obtain it
due to what God has planned for your life span. We are living in the 21st century where things
come and pass before our eyes.

Money is the one of the biggest killers of humans I would say money has stages that a person
needs to follow in order to get the life that one is planning to live. The stages are as follow:

Stage 1- Trailer

This concept is mainly used in movies. Money is like a movie, so a Trailer was created for
one to see what the final product have. As for money if you want money you firstly need to
start having or gaining small but dream big.

Stage 2- Behind The Scenes

This concept is for one to understand what happened before the final product where mistakes
took place and thats where they were fixed. In life of wanting to have a lot of money you
need to loose things in order for you to generate proper capital if you are after capital because
in the Journey that you are going to embark on you require money. While climbing that
ladder will be situations where you will not be able to go on without money, which then
means you need to fix what is wrong in order to get to the final product.

Stage 3- The Final Product

In the final product thats where we watch the actual movie. As a human it would be nice just
for once to sit down and watch the journey that you have taken up until you get where you
are at that stage and start thanking the Lord for making you to climb the ladder of Life with
the ability of knowing what you want, and where you want to be.

CREATE A PLATFORM FOR YOUR SUCCESS

 Chapter 5
Labeling

In life there are people who were designed to put a red dot on the cloth of Life. People in life
are like inspectors. They just check if you are doing your work properly and if not you will
get fired or you will get a warning which is what people do in the game of life, they watch
you and with just one mistake they will start calling you names, start labeling you and what
you have done. People always shake you before they use you. There are few elements that
you need to take care of which are:

Respect
Enemy
Rough Path

Respect

This is the key to avoid the labeling path because thats where you will be able to obtain
blessings from the people who want to see you on top. Try to beware of what you say to the
person that is next to you, because that person can transform the way you think, the way you
do things. So its important to respect everyone that you come across with along the journey
of Climbing The Ladder of Life.

Enemy

The only way that you can make your enemy happy, is for you to make the enemy your best
friend so that you will be able to show the enemy what you have been doing and how do you
go about achieving what you dont have in hand. The only way you can avoid the enemy
from marking you in the list of failures, is for you to fail in front of the enemy but at the same
time bettering the very same thing that didnt work out for you because the key to making it
in life is to rise on your failure.

Rough Path

Each and every person in this life has a rough path. But I will be telling you about the two
rough paths that we face but dont even know these are killing us to get to the top of the
ladder of life. Some people have short rough paths whereby you face a problem in a short
period of time and then you just decide to do wrong things that will end up bringing you
down from reaching where you want to be in order for you to be able to stroll in this short
path. You simply need people who have been in the same dark channel. The second Path is
the long path where you just being overcrowded by the mist of failure where people choose to
end their long run in this world which will not make you fight the mist that is covering you
from getting into the bright future that you aspire to have.

DONT LET THE SHADOWS OF FAILURE KILL YOUR PATH OF LIFE.

 Chapter 6
Ability

We have different definitions of Abilities. In this chapter I will explain what the word ability
provides for one to be able to make it as part of climbing the ladder of life. The explanation is
ability is where you manage to do things in an extraordinary way that basically makes up the
word ability. There are different types of abilities that most people have that make their lives
better. An ability is mainly created by the way you think which plays a major. One is given
the ability to think about anything at any given moment but we fail to think about what we
want to achieve in life. I call those people injection people. An injection person will inject a
positive mind set in your life and that person will help you get to where you should be in life.
We all have the ability to overcome each and every obstacle that will try to stop us in taking a
step towards the top the problem then is, we want to pull along people who will change
along the way. Let us use this ability to overcome people who will try to put us down as we
try to move forward.

The main purpose for us to be in this world is to own everything in this world, so then what is
stopping us from reaching the fruit of Life and Success? Ask yourself this question more than
5 times and the answer that you will get is people. People will keep on shaking you like the
doctors medication that says, Shake before use. This means that they will be people who
will shake you in the position that you standing on the ladder and its all up to you whether
you allow them to pull you down or you fight them not physically, not spiritually but to fight
them by ignoring them when they shake you because they will simply be looking for your
attention then you will lose focus in what you wanted to do.

The ability law allows you to attract the positive to your life which then calls for you to focus
on the positive side of because what can stop you from achieving success is the negativity.
Negativity was created for someone to say no to something that will make them a better
person in life. To deal with negativity it only calls for one to be able to attract positive aspects
towards success without of cause undermining the power of negativity. I call this the inner
challenge where it fights against success. Allow the ability because it is there to make a
change in your life, also make sure that you try and make it a point that you follow what your
positive thinking ability says. The ability that we mostly try to use but fail to use it effectively
is praying. We fail to do simple things, just a simple prayer like thanking the Lord for
waking us up every morning and you just insist in praying when things do not go our way. So
let us learn to pray when things go well and when things do not go well so that this ability
would be a daily breakfast for us to dwell on now and then so that we can be what we want to
be in this life.

THE POWER OF HAVING THE ABILITY TO MAKE IT IN LIFE

STARTS NOW.
 Chapter 7
Fight

This word Fight has a lot of misinterpretations when it comes to life in general because
most people use it to get what they want physically sometimes they think they can even fight
with the Spirit as well. In this chapter I will be unpacking a few things about the word
Fight. A fight some say is when you up against someone be it verbally or physically. My
own definition of Fight is when you fight against all the situations that will not allow you to
take a step in improving your life. Some people like to drink their coffee cold and some like
to drink it hot but no one like to drink it lop warm which simply means that some of the
fights that we want to fight against our lives are not meant to be fought by us but by the Lord
that created Heaven and Earth for us.

In our lives we like to fight for the things that will end up killing our success and the way
forward into improving the lives that we want to have and those things are:

Power
Money
Living

These three things make one live the life that they want to. Starting with Power. POWER
allows one to have the authority to do anything at any given time and moment just because
they want to prove that they can do it. In life, power mainly controls the mindset of an
individual in such that the person ends up praising himself/herself which then will lead the
person into the direction of doing wrong things because of having the authority. Let me
help you. You see the powers that we were given by God were to make it in life, the power of
lifting those who cannot lift themselves, the power of having a family, the power of coming
up with solutions to your problems, and the power of talking upon the situation. What we do
with those powers is to abuse them which is why we are having so much difficulties in
becoming of who we were designed to be on earth. Let us learn how to use the Power which
we were given even before the day we were born and ask yourself this one question, how am
I using the power that I have upon my life?

To fight you need the right strategy and resources that will allow you to have what I call the
cycle of everything which is money. Money was created for us to be able to sustain our lives
and families. But we turn to become animals when it comes to money because with money
we think we own the world but the money owns us in such a way that we cannot even see that
it is creating the connection that we should have with God. God does not give you blessings
which are above your capability but once a human has the blessing or shall I say money, the
person then tends to forget about the position and focuses on what is nothing in God eyes.

Let us use money to survive and not forget on how we got it and who gave us because if you
move from where you were into another stage which is pride you will fall from the ladder of
life because God put those on top because they deserve to be there. Sometimes we look at
people who are rich but the thing is we dont know how much they try upon the things that
they have in lives and their homes. The problem that we have as humans is that we get the
money and think we have everything but we forget that the life that we live is being
controlled by God. We think that we own everything but we are forgetting about one last
sector in the path of fighting which is living. The living part is the most difficult part in life,
why? Because we were all born in a different way, we were all born in unequal, backgrounds
some were born rich and some were born poor. Why is that so? Its because we were born in
a different way to live a different way. We abuse the law of living the life that we were
catered to live, the moment that we were born we came into this world folding our hands
because everything that we will have in our lives were placed in our hands so that the time we
open them we get the opportunity to chase them and the only way we can chase them is to
place our lives God who will never leave, no matter how hard the situation is He is always
there. But what we do as human is choose to shift the blame to Him instead of asking for help
from Him so that we can have the lives that we are catered for.

Now I will be giving the solutions to these 3 major things that hinders one from climbing the
ladder of life. We need to think by firstly using the spiritual mind whereby we apply what the
positive mindset tells us to which is the Holy Spirit. When Jesus left this world he left us with
a comforter which is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit always leads you to the correct path in
life which mainly fights against all Obstacles that you come across in making it in life
because the only thing that people wont forgive you for is to see you being successful in life.
When we pray we say our father, which means we call upon Him every day but we tend to
forget the meaning of the prayer so we need to pray to GOD in the level of having the Holy
Spirit which will lead us to the light in this world. Let me unpack the plan that you can
include your life that you can you use to fight against all the obstacles that will try to you as
you try to reach a step closer to the ladder of life.

Step 1:

Try to create a corner for yourself which will have a chair and a Table then after that have an
exam pad or papers that you will write on. On those papers you need to write all the things
that are;

Abusing you emotionally and physically.

Things that you want to achieve.
Things that you want for your family.
The things that you dont want at all.

Step 2:

When you are done writing those down, take the Bible and get Scriptures that will help you.
Scriptures that will boost the loss of faith and inner motivation that you can do it.
Step 3:

Paste all of this in a wall and start praying asking GOD to forgive you first. Plead with Him to
give you grace. Plead with Him to give you the strength.

Step 4:

Forgive those who have wronged you. Then start reading all the things that you wrote, all the
things that you have pasted on the wall. There are two people who will be listening God and
the devil.

Step 5:

This way you will be fighting the devil whom has stolen everything from you but most
importantly he would have stolen your joy. So the only way you can restore joy in your life is
to obtain grace from GOD and fight against the enemy.

FIGHT WITH THE RIGHT TOOLS, SO THAT YOU WILL WIN YOUR WAR.
 Chapter 8
I

The major key to your life is to start by looking for yourself because the problem with us
humans we like to spend more time studying other people the way they do things. We even
know what they do at this particular time which then we dont spend time looking and
searching for what we want, for what we want to be, and for what we deserve and we spend
time on people who dont even care if you know yourself. I chose to speak about I because
we do not understand I. Why? Because we spend time in doing things that do not involve I,
whereas the power of knowing yourself starts with a dream that I want to achieve. So I will
be giving you guidelines of finding yourself, finding the real you. Yes you. The problem
starts with the people that you associate with that will make you forget who you are and what
you truly need in your life. These people do not do much for you they just change your
mindset and focus.

HOW TO AVOID PEOPLE WHO WILL DESTROY THE REAL YOU

ACCEPT THE NEGATIVE VOICE.

Tell yourself that I can do this.
SPEND MORE TIME ASKING YOURSELF QUESTIONS LIKE:
WHY
HOW
WHEN
Spend more time motivating yourself.
Pray for all the negativity.
Have a Vision.

The mentioned above are the guidelines for you to follow in finding and improving yourself.
Accept the negative voice. When you have accepted the negative voice it will automatically
try to control you but what you need to do is apply the second point which is tell yourself that
I can do this which will give the positive mindset to control and fight against the negative
voice and by doing so the positive I will start to grow inside you and from there start asking
yourself questions which will make the mind wonder why, how, and when these questions
pop up as soon as you have a plan in making yourself a better person which is a good sign,
because the answers will automatically come out from motivating yourself in making a
difference in your life. When you are done pray for the negative things that you feel will
overcome you as you are building yourself. Last but not least you must have a vision. A
vision has different definitions but I will give you one definition which is the sign that you
will have in your mind which points or leads the way to your success in life.

When you have the vision then you need to attract all the positive people that you will need in
order for you to get where you want to be in life because you wont be able to achieve what
you want by yourself, you need other people to help you to get where you want to be with
life. In life you do need another person because you may not know the person that you think
is better then you is the very same person GOD gave you as a test to see whether you are
ready for what you want to embark on. The person that you will be sitting next to either at
home, in a taxi, train, bus etc. that person can make a turnaround in your life by giving you
the motivation that you need. The most important people that you will need in making your
vision come true are the people who are on the same path of wishing that one day they could
be successful in life. One thing you need to do now is to go on a search of getting the people
that you would like to make a change in your life and let them get into you but do not forget
your purpose in life.

Get out there with your I can do it and do what you do best but remember that the storms
will rise as soon as you are trying to grab the full I. When the storm just say this no matter
how hard it is I can do it. When you are able to say that then consider yourself as a self-
motivated person because you were able to overcome the problems that you were facing at
that moment. All the things in this world will always mislead you but with the motivation that
you have and the drive that you will be having at that particular time just keep on rising
higher and higher from your problems.

The last thing that you will need after this long process of finding yourself is to help others
find themselves. Do not look at the person next to you go through a downfall in his/her own
life just because you do not want to improve that persons life. Learn to help others because
all the doors of life are being opened if you give back and help someone who is lost in the
world that we are living in.

SPEND TIME LOOKING FOR ANSWERS THAT WILL MAKE A TURNAROUND IN

YOUR LIFE.
 Chapter 9
Second Life

People choose to live their lives in two different parts and those parts destroy the image that
you have about that particular person due to the things that you see in real life and second
life. Second life is the major problem that is killing the youth at most, because we tend to
want to have the life that we are not determined to have at that given time. The second life
lives in the social media platforms where you find someone pretending to be what He or She
is not in real life. Second life mainly destroys you from focusing where you are going and
instead you spend more time creating another image online. If you are a person who is
determined in life just follow the path that you want in real life then the second life, because
at the end of the day what you are trying to be. You wont become because God lifts up the
people who obey HIM.

The second life has controlled the way we do things in such a way that people want to focus
in the social world more than their real lives here is a wakeup call stop. Being a two faced
person who is a good person in real life but in the social life he/she is someone else, just be
yourself everywhere. You will find people who are trying to impress others through the
online world while those people are failing to climb the ladder of life. I repeat again just be
yourself everywhere. The things of this world mislead a lot of people in such a way that even
their vision gets lost along the way due to the mist that they have that is blocking their path to
a successful life which you were designed to have. Stop the level of creating your second life
because you will not get what you want in the life that you wish to live as each and every
young person in this world wants to make a turnaround in his/her own family. The way we
are so addict to this second life we even forget the things that matters the most especially
ourselves. Why I am saying this? Its because most of the youth bury their positive thinking
which will lead them in becoming failures at the end of the day, loose the people that means a
lot to you because of the second life.

LET US NOT EMBRACE THIS KILLER OF EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU, BECAUSE IF

ITS KILLS YOU THEN CONSIDER HAVING A LIFE WITHOUT SUPPORT, LOVE, CARE
AND HAPPINESS.

You know, the way I respect the word life. Its there to show you what you should be
focusing on. This word is there to control you. This word is there for you to obey it, treat it in
a way that you want it to treat you back. Never underestimate the power of life because it can
make you get where you want to be or just destroy all the things that you have done due to
one mistake which is creating another you. The second life is the most painful part in
climbing the ladder of life because it can put the real life on hold and you will end up
standing on the same step over and over again because of the second life, let us be proud of
who we are.

DONT CREATE AN IMAGE THAT YOU WERE NOT CREATED FOR. JUST BE
YOUR SELF.
 Chapter 10
Be careful

We always get the things that we always wanted but we are forgetting that there are things
that will kill us and we just need to be careful of those things that we grab along the way as
you may look at something that you think will make a change but that thing will back fire on
you in such a way that you end up thinking of ending the journey that you have been working
for ever since you were born. Let me warn you about the things that you need to be careful of
when climbing the ladder of life. Be careful of what you say with your mouth because
whatever that you say will course a major problem for your life because the things that we
say to the people around us might kill them due to your mouth. One thing we should learn to
prevent what we because what we say that will kill the reputation that you have worked hard
for in the journey of climbing the ladder of life is asking god to control the way you speak,
can help you to overcome other situations

Imagine if GOD had a glass on HIS hand and each and every time
you do something that wont please HIM, He would drop a tear.
How many Liters would GOD have used up that will be filled with
nothing but Tears?
Be careful of what will make you feel that the communication between you and GOD is
getting lost because at the end of the day he will never forsake or leave you. The other thing
that you should be careful of is the way you approach situations because the way you
approach them changes the way you do things. It also affect your life as a whole, and what
you should do is you should not allow situations to totally control you because if you do you
will destroy your life.

We have a lot of people facing things like:

ANGER
PAIN
STRESS
TENSION

Why is this happening? Its because we allow our emotions to control us then end up having
a life that is full of problems but you are the only person who can control everything about
you.

BE CAREFUL OF WHAT YOU APPY IN YOUR LIFE, WHICH WILL OVERPOWER

YOU.
 Chapter 11
The Second To last Step

The second to last step is the hardest step in climbing the ladder of life because you will be
reaching a point where you think that you will get pushed by the words that you will be
getting from the person who is on top. The person who is on top is you. The other you which
is the negative mindset, will tell you that you need to go down because when you on top you
will get much stronger wind which will shake you. What I will be talking about now is
mainly about the ways in embracing the second to last step. I would say in this step you need
to sit on it and look at yourself and ask GOD for one thing which the strength to get where
you belong which is the top of the ladder of life. But dont forget that He has been with you
from step one up until the second to last step.

When you pray to GOD just do one thing, thank Him for giving you the moment of seeing
another day, because in the ladder some people dont even get to the 4th step in climbing the
ladder but GOD gave you the opportunity to step to the step of getting where you should be
in life so take that as the platform of embracing Him for all the good things that he has done
for you. The most important thing that you need to know is that this step is a hot seat whether
you are up for the challenge or not in life because sometimes GOD places you in the hot seat
not because you cannot make it but to see if you will get into the next challenge that he has
for you which calls for you to pass other peers for you to be able to get there. God gave
Moses an opportunity to lead his people into the world that he promised the People and that
happened. What I mean by this is sometimes GOD can give us the opportunity to lead our
lives but we choose to take short-cuts that will give us nothing but loosing GOD because you
chose to control what He planned in a different way for you.

LETS NOT JUDGE IN THIS STEP BUT LETS THANK GOD

FOR BEING IN THE HOT SEAT OF WHETHER YOU GET
WHERE YOU WANT TO BE OR NOT.
One thing I love about GOD is that while you in that SEAT HE GIVES YOU THE
SECOND CHANCE IN IMPORVING THE WAY YOU WERE DOING IN
THE PREVIOUS STEP
BE NOTHING BUT THE WORLD GREATEST!

LEARN TO IMPROVE THE MISTAKES THAT YOU HAVE DONE!

CREATE THE BEST OUT OF THE UNGRYLNESS THAT THEY THINK YOU HAVE!

SMILE AWAY FROM THE PAIN AND ANGER, JUST FOCUS ON WHERE YOU
GOING TO!
 Chapter 12
Be a winner
To be a winner in life I would prefer for you to follow what GOD has planned for you in life
because a winner has to undergo a hard path of Pain and Patience in getting to the finish line
and your finish line is the top of the Ladder of Life. I usually say that you should not be a
person who will check if a particular car has a problem somewhere but you should learn to
face where you going to. The race of life is an ongoing process and it wait for no one but
instead it keep on putting people who belongs where they should be. To win the race that you
are up against it calls for one to focus on his/her own lane because you can focus on someone
on the other lane and you can course a major injury to yourself which will make you end your
Race along the way. When you are on top of the ladder of life dont let the wind blow you
away from where you are standing and be like a tree that even the biggest storm comes it
wont fall but stand firm.

In winning the race of life you will meet up with people whom had won the race a long time
ago but they are still on the seat of being winners. The question then is how do they do that?
They use the two things that GOD gave all of us faith and grace. These two materials build
up someone who is willing to stand in the finish line and complete what he/she is determined
for, what he/she is meant to have but there is one thing you should know, is that life that you
have now is the grace of god. Just dont ask a lot of questions just thank god for the life you
have. The only thing that will drag you away from the top is that you need to learn one last
thing about life. You need to give those who dont have. The problem with us is that when we
think our things are not going well we should blame other people and we forget to blame our
greediness. The key this solutions is that in life you need to learn to give back so that the
blessings that you need to get where you want to be in the race. When you have won the race
the one thing you need to do is to keep on moving because the race of life does not end
instead it keeps on moving but when you have reached the top of the ladder dont sit down,
stand up so that you will be able to get what you always wanted which is an award of getting
to the top, but dont climb to the last step while you pulling something behind that will drag
you down from what you have been working hard for because you will lose everything. Be a
winner by all means because that what god made you to be. Never give up on your success
but instead get a way in improving yourself, nothing more. The main purpose of what you
should be doing is grabbing what you lost with the power of prayer. Win your life not the
things of the earth because you will end up nowhere in life.

WINNERS PASS THROUGH PAIN INORDER TO GET TO THE

DESTINATION.
 Chapter 13
Nobody

Nobody has the power to stop you along the way because you can make it with or without
people who try to stop you. The most important thing that we are forgetting is that if we do
what we is within our hearts can get what we want because in whatever we do that is within
our wishes GOD is always with us along the way. When I say nobody, I mean that in this
world no one can be able to take you back, in short whatever you do can take you from
nothing to something. This means you will need to re-evaluate your ways of approaching
things in life. Our minds are mainly making take irrational decisions due to the fact that we
think that there are people who are stopping us to get where we belong. The problem that we
have as young people is that we see ourselves here not there, we do not see ourselves eating
the fruits of achieving success but we are able to clearly see ourselves eating the fruit of
failure. We need to know that when we stop ourselves we are stopping everything will that
partake in the journey that you started since you were growing up.

We mainly say life is hard but I will tell you that life is not hard if someone would show
me the scares that life has left on them to prove that life is not hard it just the PROBLEMS
that we face and have that make us say life is hard. The problems that we mainly take to heart
make us stop doing things because people tell us that we cannot make it in life and we apply
that which is not true because we need to learn that the problems that we face are the very
same problems that will make us strong make us move faster than before. The more time we
have the mentality of not making it in life is the very same time that we are stopping
ourselves from obtaining what we should be having in our hands, have you ever asked
yourself Why am I suffering like this? The answer is in your heart the moment you use
something that will help control you, the outcomes would be what you have in your heart.

We mainly focus in limiting ourselves from getting the success that was created for us and
spend more time on the things of this world because they tend to take your time and make
you forget who you are, where you belong and why you are here. We need to know that in
this world or in this journey of chasing things that belongs to you nobody would put a but
in your life except GOD because He has the authority to do so, the only thing we need to do
is focus in getting what matters the most to us which is getting our things that we lost when
we were born and that time nobody stopped us from losing them and its about high time we
collect what we lost when we were born. Never ever let someone tell you how to run your
race because you will get confused if you do not take your time and prepare yourself because
when you have arrived on the finish line, they will ask how did you do it? Im sure you will
answer them by saying I prepared to get to this point so prepare for the journey of life
because no one will stop you from eating your fruits of getting to the top of the fruitful tree.

NOBOBY CAN STOP YOU FROM GETTING WHERE YOU BELONG

EXCEPT YOUR HEART.
 Chapter 14
Introspection

Introspection can be defined in different ways. My own definition is that when you have got
to a point of finding yourself in terms of knowing what you truly want and when. The
problem is that when you in the process of finding yourself you end up losing the focus and
get interrupted by minor issues that the society brings upon you. One thing you should know
is that when you give up on everything that you have worked hard for it will flow away just
like the water from the river meeting up with the ocean. This particular term should be a daily
term in which that you dont end a day without sitting down and asking yourself a few
questions that will make you improve yourself. The only problem that we are have when we
in the mode of finding ourselves is the people that surround us. They either make you move
forward or end up as a constant object where by you not even accelerating towards what you
see yourself as.

There are things that I will outline that will help you to focus on yourself when the society is
pressing you down as you try to fight and rise at the same time. The problem is that the
moment you say I want to spend more time finding who Im at the same time the person
that does not see you where you belong is planning on how to break you down in such a way
that you end up seeing yourself as someone who is nothing in the journey of life than you
choose to give up. Do not give up just find a way of penetrating through the problem that is
brought upon you and keep on moving. We all have different names that we were given when
we were born and all our names have different meanings, why are we failing to use our
names in order to combine them with self-introspection? Im sure that the names that we all
have made or can make a change in the movement that you want to apply in your life. Just
stop thinking that you are not meant for something because the moment you think like that
you are mainly killing your journey in life.

Here is the list of things you should do while doing self- introspection:

Find where you belong.

When you have apply change.
When you have changed, improve yourself.
Find your weakness and put more faith.
Forget about everything and focus on you!

These are the things that will help you in finding what you want, at what time and where to
improve because at the end of the day we want to see ourselves achieving good things in life
and the only way of doing that is by taking our time and finding ourselves before its too late.
To tell you something, you actually can move from being a data into an information which
will then be useful for usage.

FIND YOURSELF BEFORE ITS LATE, BECAUSE NO ONE WILL DO

THAT FOR YOU.
 Chapter 15
You can do it

You can make it. You are the boss of every movement that you make in life. The only thing
you need to be able to do is to just focus on the Positive side of things. One thing that I know
is that each and every person has that particular part of being positive but the thing is that the
moment you try to move forward something keeps dragging you down and that is yourself
because you not telling yourself that I can do it. Some things are just meant to break you
down but what you need to do is to ask for guidance in this journey from God. He will be
able to put you in the correct path as we do things with our own understanding but not
knowing that we are killing our journey. The only way that you can make it in life is by
having Him along in the journey of climbing the ladder of life because the situation that you
are facing now He knows about it but what He wants from you is to ask Him to protect you
from all the negative sectors that you will be getting at that moment.

I usually say doing and thinking that you doing are two different things because if you do,
things do happen but when you think things are not happening instead they are fading away
in your mind it will certainly be like a movie playing in your mind. A movie that is not
teaching you on getting up and doing it for yourself not even for your family but yourself. One
thing that I can say is when you work towards making your goals big in your life you do need
people who will guide you to get there. The problem in our society is that we are lacking
people who will tell us on how to get there in terms of life, success and being the best in what
you do. You can make it in life and what is required from you is only;

Consistency
Staying Humble
Sophistication
Dream Chasing
Plan

These are the five points that can make you a somebody in life because being consistent
mainly calls for you to do things or approach things in a proper recurring manner because the
way you approach life is the same way that life will respond towards you. Another major key
is being Humble in whatever you do. Because being humble brings good things towards you
in every aspect and that makes things better for the life you want to have because if you can
do that you will get what you want. Being sophisticated is another key in of being unique in
terms of the way you tackle things. Never stop dreaming of where you want to be in life.
Make sure that the Plan that you have for your life will also involve GOD because whatever
that you wish you could have in life He knows about that.

YOU CAN DO IT, EVEN IF THINGS ARE HARD. YOU CAN DO IT NO ONE WILL STOP
YOU.
