There comes a time in your life when you have to choose between giving up and staying strong, when situations will try to predict your fate, when friends will depart from you and your echo will be your only companion. When that time comes, remember just why you fought so hard to get to where you are. What is life that it should threaten your faith and who is man that you should clinch onto for happiness?You have a destination. Remember this!

The most important relationship in your life should be your relationship with yourself.
~ Mensah Oteh
You are on your way to building a significant life when your service to others stops focusing on the now and the immediate future and instead focuses on generations to come and how your actions today will impact them long after you are gone.

To find true fulfilment, you must live your life’s purpose.

Don’t try, be happy.
~ Mensah Oteh
You already have the abundance of life in you, and each day you must decide to live abundantly by choosing not to live in the past, by never taking counsel of your fear, and most importantly by seeing the greatness within you and embracing it.
~ Mensah Oteh
The abundant life should include all that life has freely given you – love, good health, success, prosperity, happiness, joy, spirituality, fulfilment, wisdom, purpose, growth and excitement.
~ Mensah Oteh
To succeed in life you need five things – a burning desire, a willingness to do whatever it takes, wisdom, incredible effort, and a commitment to never ending improvement.
~ Mensah Oteh
The greatest people in history were those who lived a life of significance and service. You can join them if you’re willing to serve.
~ Mensah Oteh
You need time, perseverance, and patience to develop the character and abilities required for success.
~ Mensah Oteh
Define success by your terms, not by other people’s standards.
~ Mensah Oteh
Greatness is achieved when you fulfil your purpose by doing what you were born to do.
~ Mensah Oteh
Always direct your emotions, desires, behaviour, and actions in the present so they are in alignment with what you want in your future.
~ Mensah Oteh
Self-discipline is a prerequisite to progress.
~ Mensah Oteh
Your ego does not need to be crushed, it needs to be redeemed.
~ Mensah Oteh
Perfection is the lowest standard out there because it is unattainable. Be the best you can but don’t try to be someone you were not born to be.
~ Mensah Oteh
Your words reveal your wants but your actions reveal your expectations.
~ Mensah Oteh
You have mastered the art of discipline when you are able to act according to what you ultimately desire rather than how you feel in the present moment.
~ Mensah Oteh
To get to ‘yes’ from ‘no’, you may have to journey through ‘maybe’.
~ Mensah Oteh
Ninety-five per cent of your success or failure will come from your daily habits.
~ Mensah Oteh
Staying true to your dream by using your mental, emotional and physical strength is discipline in action. You express it through focus, grit, self-control, persistence, perseverance, and willpower.
~ Mensah Oteh
Discipline is more about self-control through your inner strength and less about restriction.
~ Mensah Oteh
The ability to make yourself do what needs to be done at the appropriate time and in the appropriate manner – irrespective of your feelings – marks the true test of self-discipline.
~ Mensah Oteh
Self-discipline is a learned habit that should be developed and continuously worked on through regular application, practice, and repetition.
~ Mensah Oteh
Discipline begins where you are, and the key to sustaining the level of discipline you need lies in developing daily habits and routines which mirror the life you want to have.
~ Mensah Oteh
The investment you make in others is transferred to everyone they influence long after you’re gone. Significance
~ Mensah Oteh
Significance is about making a difference, and its pursuit should ideally come before the pursuit of success – or at least at the same time.
~ Mensah Oteh
It’s not how long you live that matters, it’s how well you live.
~ Mensah Oteh
Have you decided how great you want to be? It’s really up to you. Greatness is a choice.
~ Mensah Oteh
Success may create excitement, but only significance leads to fulfilment.
~ Mensah Oteh
Success lasts a lifetime but stops at the end of your life. Significance lasts many lifetimes and continues long after you’re gone.
~ Mensah Oteh
If you see success as a race, then you will start eagerly with enthusiasm and passion with the hope of finishing quickly but there is much more to your success journey than your duration and speed.
