LET THE BUD OPEN

This book is written for a number of purposes. Firstly, to bring awareness to all who come in contact with this book that they are precious and are beautiful within. Initially, I was thinking that the book would target women from about the age of 20 years to 50 years but as the Holy Spirit continued to unfold the contents to me, I realized that it is for everyone who cares to read it. Men, women, old and young. Of course, we are all budding and that which is in us must be revealed no matter the odds.

The second and major purpose is that, many times, the best in us comes out in the furnace of affliction. We are like the rose bud that is squeezed or crushed that brings out the fragrance hidden within. We never know what is embedded in us or our capabilities until we come into trying situations.

Don't be afraid to fail. If you are not failing, then you are not growing; and failure is often the first step towards success. The only person that can stop your Bud from Opening is you.

Accept that success is a process, not a destination, winning is an offshoot of great leadership, teamwork, focus, commitment and implementing the basics. Encourage people under you to Open up their Buds.

Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, even the smallest act of caring. All of these have the capabilities to turn a life around. People come into our lives for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Embrace all equally.
