Do you know the most important things you need to succeed in life are not around you but within you?
The critical things that make people succeed are not located without but within. You don't acquire a dream, you birth a dream, you don't acquire a vision you birth a vision, you don't acquire an idea, you think up an idea; passion, persistence, power, capacity, wisdom, knowledge and understanding are internal assets; internal values; you carry all these within you.
Although your environment help in developing, shaping, building and broadening the scope of all these, truth is they already exist within you. The outside world don't give it, the outside world will either shape and improve these values, or stifle and destroy them, this would depend on the kind of world you're exposed to and the kind of experience you've had.

Many of us are struggling in life today because we are not paying attention to ourselves. We have no time for ourselves, you personally don't have a ‘me time'. You think being alone is tantamount to loneliness which you think is a bad thing, so every time you're alone your next move is to quickly seek company.
Solitude is one of the most powerful secrets of the great and mighty. If you must succeed and do well in life, you must indulge in solitude. You must have an alone time.
Now I'm not talking about your quiet time, when you pray to God and study the word of God, no. I'm talking about a time dedicated to yourself alone, whereby you talk to yourself, think with yourself and take counsel in yourself.
