“The dream in your heart sometimes may be bigger than the environment in which you find yourself. When this happens in other to realise that dream one must leave that environment”
I am at a point in my life where I am confused as to what next to do with my life, how to go about it, my choices and their outcome. These thoughts have I been brooding on for days on end, but in my dilemma I realized one thing, for me to be having these thoughts I am alive. For me to be having these thoughts I want more from life. For me to be having these thoughts I have outgrown my current conditions and it is time for a change.
I am not an expert in stepping out of comfort zones though but I want to be radical and do that, I want to take a leap, the worst case scenario is this; I get to learn lessons that would help cushion other leaps I am going to take because like they say the first step is always the hardest.
Frank Lloyd Wright, the famous architect responsible for the design of magnificent structures, beautiful buildings and many homes, when asked which of the work he has done was his greatest he replied without hesitation saying “my next one”. Frank understood the principle of stretching forward, he understood that to get the best out of life one doesn’t have to become complacent. Too many people are living beyond their true potentials, myself included, we have become so complacent, so comfortable and easily satisfied that we don’t press forward anymore. We have subjected ourselves to a life of MEDIOCRITY.
HELL NO!
NO MATTER WHERE YOU ARE IN LIFE, GOD DOES NOT WANT YOU TO STOP GROWING, this is for those who think they have had their best run out of life and are ready to quit. He wants you to try one more time.
YOU ARE CONFUSED YOU DON’T KWON WHERE YOU ARE HEADED IN LIFE, he says to you, I have put values, gifts, talent in you, all you need to do is look within and discover that he is with you and above all you were made in his image and likeness. The capability is in you the real question now is;
o ARE YOU READY TO LIVE YOUR BEST LIFE?
o ARE YOU READY TO REMOVE ETHE SELF IMPOSED LIMITATION YOU HAVE OVER YOUR HEAD?
o ARE YOU READY TO MOVE OUT, INTO THE LIGHT, INTO THE NEXT LEVEL?
So many people have let the negative word said to them hinder them from moving forward. Are you sure you want to do this? What if you fail? What if the opportunity is not the right one for you? But you know a lot of people here, you have a life here, how would you cope with a new environment?
What if, what if what if!
These negativity may haunt you and deter your progress, might even stump on your zeal to press forward nut let me tell you this;
“UNDERSTAND THAT NONE OF THESE STATEMENTS CAN CHANGE YOUR POTENTIAL ON THE INSIDE. IT’S STILL IN YOU. DON’T ALLOW PEOPLE TO TALK YOU OUT OF UTILIZING YOUR POTENTIAL. TAKE THE LEAP, DO IT IN FAITH.”
In JOEL OSTEEN’S book become a better, he cited two examples that I would like to present here.
First scenario, two friends on a road trip where driving on the freeway with no limitation on speed and friend driving was going at 170km/hr., that is very fast, really, really fast and not long enough a car speed past and him and he said the other car was so fast he felt like he was slow. The same model of his car, same potential but different drivers. I am not saying all humans have the exact same potentials or are exactly the same, far from it but the bottom line is, we all have potentials, but at what speed are we going with these potentials?
In the next example, Joel talks to a famous tightrope walker and asks him how he makes walking on the tight rope look so easy, that what is his secret and the entertainer’s reply was as follows:
“He said, Joel, the secret is to keep your eyes fixed on where you are going. You never look down. Where your head goes that’s where your body is going too. If you look down there is a good chance that you will fall, so you have to always look to where you want to be.”
This same principle should be applied to life, some of us are so tucked in the past, in our present situation, so comfortable that we don’t move or try new things or develop ourselves anymore. This practice has gone on for a way too long, it’s time for a change.
Our potentials has been put in us by GOD, OUR MANUFACTURER. WHETHER WE USE IT OR NOT DOES NOT DIMINISH IT BUT IT IMPACTS OUR FUTURE.
THE EVENTS OF YOUR PAST DOES NOT AFFECT OUR POTENTAIL NEITHER DOES WHAT ANYONE SAY.
ITS ALL YOU.
REMIND YOURSELF THIS EVERY DAY;
o I AM ANNOITED
o I AM CRREATIVE
o I AM TALENTED
o I AM SUCCESSFUL
o I AM A VICTOR.
STAY WOKE!
thank you for reading.
