As we grieve the loss of our King of Wakanda, lets reflect on his quotes, to continue his inspiring messages to others:

What are you fighting for?

“Sometimes you need to get knocked down to understand what your fight is.”

Believe in a power greater than you

“When God has something for you it doesn’t matter who stands against it.”

When you pray for something, it can actually happen and that is Powerful!

Activate Your Passion

“Sometimes you need to feel the pain and sting of defeat to activate the real passion and purpose that God predestined inside of you.”

Shape Your Purpose

Purpose is an essential element of you…. your very existence is wrapped up in the things you are here to fulfill…the struggles along the way are only meant to shape you for your purpose..”

Do not seek approval

The number one rule of acting is, ‘do not seek approval from audience’. People don’t realise that. You can’t do stuff to get applause. You have to live in the truth.

The difference between a Hero and Villain

The only difference between a hero and the villain is that the villain chooses to use that power in a way that is selfish and hurts other people.
