T
HE GOD OF HEAVEN INSPIRED the wisest and

for us to prosper in every part of our lives. Nothing is
off-limits in this fabulous book of the Bible. The commentary
is practical, hard-hitting, current, and spiritual. This book by
Anthony Baidoo can be likened to the Book of Proverbs in
the Bible. Every statement in this book in the form of quota-
tions will provide you with a practical road map to improve
your life. The quotations by this author can serve as compass
to help you successfully navigate your path for successful life.
Being a Paramount Chief and a Managing Director of a fi-
nancial institution, I found the truth shared in this book as
timely, very insightful and I sincerely believe it will go a long
way to help anyone who lays hands on this book and study
the content thereof. This book will serve a good purpose for
Pastors, Lawyers, Traders, Academia, Doctors, Engineers,
Bankers, Entrepreneurs, Teachers, Counsellors, Administra-
6

It is a book for every human being because we all need wis-
dom to succeed in life. You need inspiration to succeed in
life. The author of these wonderful quotes has greatly in-
spired me and I therefore recommend this book for you as

Introduction
11
“And David was greatly distressed; for the people spa-
ke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was
grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters:
but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God” (1
Samuel 30:6).
I
T IS ALWAYS GOOD TO RECEIVE encouragement
from people especially when we are down with the many
challenging circumstances of the world. Sometimes all
that a dying soul seeks are words of affirmation and encour-
agement that things will get better. When words like that
find their way into the heart of a dying soul at such moments
it cleaves to it like the miracle pole a drowning man holds on
to at the time when help is needed most.
Nonetheless, there are times when encouragements comes
from nowhere; times when those who we desire encourage-
ment from discourage us the most; times when it appears as
though we are the only ones left on the surface of the earth.
12
In times like that our best bet must be on ourselves not to
give up. We have the power to remain inspired to the end no
matter the daunting challenge.
I have observed that beneath every great achievement is the
reason to achieve. The reason to achieve here is the inspi-
ration for achievement. What I mean by inspiration here is
simply that which spurs us on to want to do something pos-
itive to help ourselves, our families and the society at large.
Someone is achieving very big out there because he/she just
believes that it is possible. By holding on to the phrase ‘it is
possible’ many have done what hitherto was considered im-
possible. Life is an endless adventure of activities; we must
always be up to something. Our strength is either positively
or negatively driven. One thing which fires us up to do and
to make impact is inspiration.
Life offers us so many lessons if we would closely observe
them as and when we go through challenges and experience
breakthroughs.
“…And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know
madness and folly…I applied mine heart to know, and to
search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things,
and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness
and madness…my heart had great experience of wisdom
and knowledge”. (Ecclesiastes 1:17, 7:25, 1:16)
Therefore I put down these quotes to inspire all and sundry.
Life is not a game of chance. Wishing for things to happen
is like expecting a balloon to swell without blowing air into
it. Things don’t just happen in life. There cannot be a move
13
without a mover, or revolution without a human face.
In this book all that I set out to do is to give you positive
inspiration.Mygoalistoinspireyoutohaveapositiveoutlook
towards life. Although these quotes were written over a
period of about nine (13) months, the inspiration was drawn
from years of making mistakes, trying to achieve, fretting
about the future, praying, reading the Bible and trying to
know God and understand life. Am therefore convinced that
with the right attitude, anything is possible. Read the quotes
and allow your hearts and minds to be transformed into
seeing things from a positive light. Personally these quotes
have shaped and keep shaping my life. In my moments
of heaviness they keep my hearts calm and in periods of
excitements it keeps my heart in balance. Sometimes all I do
in a trying moments is to remember what I was inspired to
write about the said situation and apply them at the spell of
the moment. In situations where I found nothing I had put
down to lean on I compose a quote to serve as a watch word.
It always proved very useful.
Itisalwayspossibleifwedaretodreamandchaseourdreams.
Take a journey of possibilities with me by meditating and
following these inspired statements.
You will surely connect with these statements!

serving others with your heart without fear or favour”
Anthony Baidoo
24.	“Destroying innocent lives in the name of leadership is
the highest level of stupidity and callousness” Anthony
Baidoo
25.	“We are not civilized because we adulterate our make-
up from the divine architect; we are civilized because we
appreciate who and what we are and work to make the
world a better place” Anthony Baidoo
26.	“Any breakthrough which does not have God as the
attributable factor has a weak foundation. What do we
have that we did not receive?” Anthony Baidoo
27.	“Always set yourself into motion to becoming a blessing
to as many people as you can by looking out for what
you can do in your own small way to make life more
comfortable for others” Anthony Baidoo
28.	“It is better to celebrate others than to denigrate them; the
former will open you up for positive inspiration while the
latter will make you bitter at your own expense” Anthony
Baidoo
29.	“Don’t be offended if no one is celebrating you today, it is
an indication of the fact that you’ve not done enough to
merit celebrations. Instead of giving up on the little you
may be involved with, be rather encouraged to give off
66
you best to merit celebration tomorrow” Anthony Baidoo
30.	“Who you really are when you are stripped of all your
earthly possessions and belongings is the identity which
will determine where you spend eternity. Proactively
work on your inner self to enhance your inner beauty”
Anthony Baidoo
31.	“Don’t spend all your time weeping over what you don’t
have and forget what you’ve got. Be happy and enjoy
life as much as you can; Rome was never built in a day”
Anthony Baidoo
32.	“Until your spirit leaves your body, allow every problem
that comes your way to make you stronger and better and
not bitter. Never give up on yourself and your dream to
achieve” Anthony Baidoo
33.	It is very easy to argue in favour of what we have a soft
spot for or the object of our affinity than it is for us to be
objective at all times. We must guard our hearts against
our biases. Anthony Baidoo
67
What lies before and behind us are not more important
than what lies within us. We were created to be powerful
beyond what the mind can conceive. “For everyone who
asks, receives. Everyone who seeks, finds. And to everyone
who knocks, the door will be opened” (Matthew 7:8)
I
HAVE PLACED IN YOUR HANDS action driven
statements, faith filled words and destiny changing
quotations. If carefully observed and attended to one’s
life, his/her outlook towards life will never be the same.
Personally these quotes have shaped and keep shaping my
life. In my moments of heaviness they keep my hearts calm,
in periods of excitements it keeps my heart
in balance. Living life to the fullest is living on purpose and
purpose has no place without sound knowledge on issues
and circumstances of life. We are here on a temporal mission
and the best we can do to ourselves is to make the most of
the opportunities this life offers.
These profound statements will help you to maximize your
strength so that you don’t sell yourself short. Read them as
Conclusion
68
much as you can and understand its application in contem-
porary issues. The more we fill our hearts with good thought
by reading faith inspired words, the more we unleash the
power which lies dormant in us. We can all make it with
discipline and commitment to our assignment. Lots of Love

  • 12. Introduction 11 “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spa- ke of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God” (1 Samuel 30:6). I T IS ALWAYS GOOD TO RECEIVE encouragement from people especially when we are down with the many challenging circumstances of the world. Sometimes all that a dying soul seeks are words of affirmation and encour- agement that things will get better. When words like that find their way into the heart of a dying soul at such moments it cleaves to it like the miracle pole a drowning man holds on to at the time when help is needed most. Nonetheless, there are times when encouragements comes from nowhere; times when those who we desire encourage- ment from discourage us the most; times when it appears as though we are the only ones left on the surface of the earth.
  • 13. 12 In times like that our best bet must be on ourselves not to give up. We have the power to remain inspired to the end no matter the daunting challenge. I have observed that beneath every great achievement is the reason to achieve. The reason to achieve here is the inspi- ration for achievement. What I mean by inspiration here is simply that which spurs us on to want to do something pos- itive to help ourselves, our families and the society at large. Someone is achieving very big out there because he/she just believes that it is possible. By holding on to the phrase ‘it is possible’ many have done what hitherto was considered im- possible. Life is an endless adventure of activities; we must always be up to something. Our strength is either positively or negatively driven. One thing which fires us up to do and to make impact is inspiration. Life offers us so many lessons if we would closely observe them as and when we go through challenges and experience breakthroughs. “…And I gave my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly…I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness…my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge”. (Ecclesiastes 1:17, 7:25, 1:16) Therefore I put down these quotes to inspire all and sundry. Life is not a game of chance. Wishing for things to happen is like expecting a balloon to swell without blowing air into it. Things don’t just happen in life. There cannot be a move
  • 14. 13 without a mover, or revolution without a human face. In this book all that I set out to do is to give you positive inspiration.Mygoalistoinspireyoutohaveapositiveoutlook towards life. Although these quotes were written over a period of about nine (13) months, the inspiration was drawn from years of making mistakes, trying to achieve, fretting about the future, praying, reading the Bible and trying to know God and understand life. Am therefore convinced that with the right attitude, anything is possible. Read the quotes and allow your hearts and minds to be transformed into seeing things from a positive light. Personally these quotes have shaped and keep shaping my life. In my moments of heaviness they keep my hearts calm and in periods of excitements it keeps my heart in balance. Sometimes all I do in a trying moments is to remember what I was inspired to write about the said situation and apply them at the spell of the moment. In situations where I found nothing I had put down to lean on I compose a quote to serve as a watch word. It always proved very useful. Itisalwayspossibleifwedaretodreamandchaseourdreams. Take a journey of possibilities with me by meditating and following these inspired statements. You will surely connect with these statements!
