As you may have already experienced,there are no coincidences in life. What ever you sow you will no doubt reap.
Our habits and thoughts make or break us. We are creatures of habits, so as a teen with a the whole of your life ahead of you - what habits are you forming to ensure a brighter and successful future?
All habits and thought patterns determine 90% of all behaviours and thus the results we get in life. This leaves a measly 10% to chance.
Based on this fact how can you ensure success, not just in your academics, but in every aspect of life!
As a teen who wants to leave their foot print on planet earth ,you should be more aware of your thoughts. The bible states that a man's thought makes him or as a man thinks, so is he. Positive thoughts will lead to positive habits and these habits will be exhibited in the way you act (behaviour).
Let us exam the habits of two teens: teen "A" who was exposed to reading at an early age and teen "B" with no exposure whatsoever. Which of these teens will be more inclined to reading? Which of the two is better positioned to personally develop themselves and make the most of information available to all mankind?
Just a single positive habit will put you miles apart from your peers.
Certain habits are unbeneficial and they should be noticed early and stopped, because a habit once formed is nearly impossible if not absolutely impossible to break.
Your Self Talk and Self Belief As a Teen
How do you perceive yourself? You are not meant to be like abyone else, but yourself. There is something profound and life transforming, once you discover and find out what and why you exist. You should know that there is more to you as an individual teen than you know and understand or have been told.
You are not born with the label of a champion or loser; you make yourself into one of them. We have all been created with the power to walk and talk to ourselves in the way we perceive who we are and whose we are. Do you believe that you can have all you want, become what you want to be, go wherever you want to go and touch as many lives you want to touch?
Your self-belief and self-talk are the two most important ingredients for your successful life. You can talk yourself into being spectacular at your everyday endeavors, to do more, achieve more and talk yourself into wealth, health and great joy. Your self-talk is highly instrumental in your life, because it is that still small voice, which lives with you everyday and at all times. Imagine this little voice nagging you to victory, to learn more, to achieve in your academics day in and day out. This voice of victory is only possible once you have purposefully trained it to do so. It can be telling you how great an over comer you are, how you are surrounded by thousands of angels waiting for your command and how the whole of heaven is cheering you on to your highest potential and level.
Now let us paint another scenario, where this same little voice has been trained in a destructive way. The very time you wake up from bed you feel you are a loser, you go about your daily routine with no liveliness or expectancy and you have no self-belief or are ignorant of the powers available to aid you. You simply walk and talk according to the way you feel, but I am here to tell you that do not let your feelings dictate to you because they change all the time and are very unreliable.
You need to understand that you are not alone even though most times it may seem as if you are alone. When you are asleep, are you able to look after yourself? Are you not aware a super force out there keeps a constant watch over you? Have you not also noticed that there is a higher power that holds the whole world together? That is the same force that is in charge of your very life - GOD.
Walk and talk in that awareness. Be not ignorant of who you are and of what your purpose is, in life. Your life on its own without any achievement is great testament of your maker. You are created in his glory, even when all does not seem to go your way or as planned, remember there is always a light at the end of the tunnel. Then again if not sure what to do, try and take the first step and the rest of the stairs will enfold before your very eyes.
Put away your ignorance and begin to walk and talk as your best self.

4 Vital Life Questions For Teens
Who were you created to be?
"If God had wanted you otherwise, He would have created you otherwise." Goethe
If you try to walk in the footprint of another, you will miss out on leaving your own footprint. Many teens have found themselves engaging in activities only because their best friends were doing the same. That is not you and try as hard as you will, you will only end up beating yourself. Find your uniqueness and what drives you to be your very best. What brings that genuine smile to your face, that inner glow and inexplicable joy? Pay attention to your heartbeat and you will find the reason for your creation.
Do you accept yourself?
"The curious paradox is that when I accept myself just as I am, then I can change." Carl Rogers
There is more to you than what meets the eye. The Bible declares that you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Take a detailed inventory of yourself. Look at the positioning of your eyes, nose, mouth and ears. Then look how well each of these are adapted to their functions. Is your mind open to see all this? Your self-acceptance irrespective of everything, will take you places you have never dreamed of. Self- acceptance is one of the major keys to a fulfilled life.
How far do you see yourself reaching?
No one reaches the top without daring. Being destined for greatness requires you take risks and confront great hazards. Can you let go of your limiting thoughts, ideas and belief? Can you see the sky as your limit? Reach into your own special realm, where there is more than enough and sheer abundance for you and everyone. Stretch your imagination and astound yourself!
What is the core of your self-belief?
It is not where you are from; it is not where you are set to go. Neither does it matter your skin colour nor your origin. It is not what is on you, but your self-belief. It is what you think and how open minded you choose to be. Get one thing straight, nobody can make you believe in yourself, absolutely no one. You are the master of your own mind, the captain of your own ship and the pilot of your own aircraft.
Believe you are special, a jewel, an uncommon and precious stone. God smiles on you with fondness, just by setting HIS eyes on you. He calls YOU by name, you are HIS. You are His Super Teen.
