PMM - PERSONAL MAGIC MOMENTS

I found that I am always protected and blessed. One momentous occasion was when I at a tediously long red light. To pass time (it was a 10 minute wait), I used my phone. Just as the light was about to turn green, I placed my phone in its holder in order to prepare to move but out of the blue the phone fell to the floor. At that moment, I saw the lights turn green but since I was at the front of the line I told myself that I had enough time to pick it up quickly before moving. Just when I picked the phone up, I saw a huge truck run the red light on the opposing road, exactly where my car would have been if I did not stop to pick up my phone. Believe me, my car would have been flattened. I believe that in moments like these, I know God is always with me

ROS - REASON OF SUCCESS

Hardworking; Consistency; Ignore the haters that only want to bring you down; Believing that I am good enough in my own right
