Only if you take them as challenges, they will help figure out what you are capable of and what you need to work on. Life is a trial and error, and as you make mistake, you\’ll emerge and move on as a stronger and greater person.            

Being through the 5 steps, your potential has been nurtured into your passion. You\’ll start having great zeal towards your goals and start doing thing better (like papilo #winks).

6)Develop intuition:      

  Intuition comes after experience and instinct. Some people tend to follow their intuition while some like to \”jump at the gun\” or go with their gut instinct. Strike a balance between these two. Know when its right to follow your Instinct, you may want to contemplate. In short, decisions that will affect your life in the long run should be critically analyzed. 

7) Continue your Hard work and Pray:        

Prayer is the one powerful way to tell God what you need and desire for. Hardwork pays, but only when there is God\’s blessing on it…
