Yea, take a look at the theme again and that's it. My purpose of the choice of theme was really to catch your attention. Now that I have it, let's continue but I will sure tell you how I kissed DATING good-bye to Embracing my DREAMS.
I am yet to see a man that does not want to be successful in life. As a matter of fact, everyone wakes up everyday believing that somehow they will make it really big at whatever they venture into. I have also come to discover that success is relative. What is success for me might not be for another individual. The measure of success differs from person to person and from place to place.
To be very successful at a very young age has always been my goal, although life had a way of telling me that it was impossible to achieve success right from my family to the society where I grew and the nation at large.Doing a quick view at the global reality, I realise that I must start judging my success not by what I've done but by what I'm capable of doing.
In the search of the true measure of success, I discovered that Success is the maximum utilization of the ability that you have. Today, I can call myself a successful man because I'm doing the thing I really want to do; using my thinking, speaking and writing gifts maximally to transform lives and put food on my table. O yea...
Few years ago, I decided to start dating someone I could refer to as "First love after a Long love", it started so cool and promising. I was quick to download my dreams to the damsel. How I was going to do this and do that, travel here and there, publish my books and become very rich and famous.
Mind you, I had suffered so much rejection even from my family simply because I dream too much and scarcely live a normal life like my peers do. Felt like dating this great girl would at least give me a chance to have someone believe in me and want to support me. She soon began to count years for me and asking questions like "When shall these things be?, seeth that you have no Degree yet". Fast forward...she left me and I went back to my first love which has always been my dreams and today the story is a lot different.
Almost everything I told her then are now reality. My books are published and circulated across the borders.
Listen, please Let go of whatever will not let you grow else you will groan.
Go Excel!
