Are you worried about the future? U need this.

Image
   Good day syndelsmilers having thought about all that is happening presently in my life ups and downs failures, achievements and all that had happened in the past  i imagined what the future holds for me. Alone with my thought, i realized most people can be so worried about what the FUTURE will unfold and fear grumps their heart. I encouraged myself and laugh the thought off as i remembered what the scripture told me not to worry about the future. funny thing about the future is that it’s never as fantastic as we hope nor as horrible as we fear.  The one thing that’s for sure is that times will change and we will have to adapt.  While there is no way of knowing exactly how that change will play out, we can identify trends, make common sense judgments about where they lead and prepare for them.  Change Will Happen Much, Much Faster If you think back ten years, the world was very different.  In 2004, goggle and some social media was still rel...

Hip-hop’s first billionaire, Dr. Dre, put some of his hard-earned money into a $40 million home that was once owned by Gisele Bündchen and Tom Brady. Wooooo! K.
