IT’S ALL
ABOUT WHAT YOU WANT…
Jcee ooo! You won't believe who just bought a 2017 range
rover sport… my brother excitedly told me over the phone. Who? I
replied. It’s my guy Jude ooo. That
my guy is doing very well. He went on to tell me about the many business ventures
Jude was involved in and how profitable they were. After I dropped
the phone, I reflected on how I met Jude.
There was a 3-day exhibition program the Federal
government organized to support youths’ ideas that can lead to employment. I was
then single and living with friends. Coincidentally, two of my younger
brother's friends came all the way from Jos and since they didn't know anyone
in Abuja, they decided to sleep in the venue. At midnight,
some armed robbers came and took everything they had including their laptops,
leaving them stranded. My bro had to call to ask me if they could stay with me
for the duration of the program; to which I accepted.
After they had settled down in the parlor and were about
having dinner, one of my flat mates was like; So you guys came all the
way from Jos, put yourselves in harm's way in fact on gun point for this
government and you guys actually believe this government will fund this your
million naira dream? She continued; well let me tell you what will happen. The government
officials will only favor somebody who knows somebody among them. So I’ll
advise that you better wake up and forget all about this dreams you’re dreaming
because it will not work here in Nija, except you have someone in government!!.
I could see the hopelessness written all over their faces throughout
the rest of our dinner.
The next morning one of them (Jude) came over to me and
said Jcee it is true that I don't know
anybody in the government; I don't even know anybody in Abuja. But
God has given me ideas and I am definitely going to put my all into this
project because I believe that He who began this work in me is faithful to
complete it
I remember marveling at such faith; such confidence,
determination and belief. I just knew he would go far because the first and
greatest obstacle to success for most people is their level of belief in
themselves and their dreams.
What often hinders them is not lack of talent or
intelligence, but lack of trust in themselves, which is a self-imposed limitation.
You need to
believe your best; you need to believe in your potentials. Having
confidence in what you do gives you the power to achieve it.
“Talent is given, and it opens doors to opportunities but
you must earn success.” If you keep
believing in yourself and your potentials, you will someday find yourself doing
what you once considered impossible.
At
the end of the seminar, he was amongst those that won and was awarded Ten Million
Naira for his dream. This is to encourage all those with ideas and
innovation in whatever field. There are going to be storms and there would be
destiny blockers also; but do not get distracted or allow them to prevent you
from achieving that very purpose and dream you have inside of you
When
you find a dream inside your heart, don’t ever let it go; for dreams
are the tiny seeds from which beautiful tomorrow grow.
Don’t downgrade your dreams to match
your reality, upgrade your faith to
match your destiny. Do not to give up, keep pressing forward with a
positive attitude.
