There is a quote that states:
"Your potential is hidden in the things you can do, but aren't doing. Unlock your possibilities and unleash your greatness
Another says: You have many talents and abilities waiting to be utilized. Take the first step, and you'll be amazed at what you can achieve!
I have stage fright and anything that will make someone ask me to come up to the stage to talk, oh boy I will run for my life.
Is that bad, really bad, if you inform me that I will be the one taking a take a talk show, I will be like me? just the play.
I have always wanted to be a public speaker but I fear that I will make a mistake or say rubbish or maybe am not good enough.
I kept doubting myself but people around me would always tell me that I would be a great public consultant. It so happened that people around me wanted to push me but the opportunity isn't presenting itself.
So as house people are planning is church too.
I didn't know that they were planning for me in the church.
We have an upcoming program in the church, we had meetings and I suggested that we have a talk show. Imagine where am shooting myself in the leg.
Everybody agreed not knowing that my name was going to be among the speakers. So I was eager to listen to the talk show on a cool Sunday evening.
Elegantly dressed, looking all gorgeous, haven't even written the questions that I will ask the speakers.
I even did research ahead of time.
Sat down on the third roll, waiting for the speakers to climb the podium.
The next thing I heard my name, I pretended like it wasn't me. I was clapping and waiting for the so-called speaker to climb up and take over, can you imagine clapping for yourself and not moving an inch from where you are sitting, knowing fully well that you are the one they are waiting for?
when they came to carry my things to the podium. I almost fainted, I was smiling but was asking God may I not disgrace myself.

As I made to leave, my skirt got hooked on the chair and torn that was the end of my climbing the stage. Oh hallelujah, I shouted inside but acted embarrassed outside. I told them I can't go up like this and they should replace me, maybe next time
So I didn't take up the role again till now. I know deep down I can do this but I haven't overcome that fright yet.
So till whenever I gather my (mo ra
)which means till I have the courage.
We move.
Let's move to what I thought I couldn't do but do, that will be hair-making and being a nail technician
An adage says:
"Just because you can do something doesn't mean you're good at it. Focus on mastering your strengths and delegate or discard the rest."
Remember, it's okay to acknowledge areas where you're not excelling and focus on your strengths. By doing so, you'll become more efficient, effective, and fulfilled!
I have never gone to a saloon to learn how to make hair before but I can make hair perfectly and fix nails.
But one problem I have is standing, I don't like standing for too long.
I still keep pushing whenever it comes to hair-making.
The first time I tried making hair was weaving and it came out a little bit cleaned I decided to give it another try and from there, I continued without stopping but a part of me still felt unfulfilled.
Maybe I will try to speak in public one day to overcome the fear, I do feel inside
