YOUR FIRST STEP IS JUST AS IMPORTANT AS YOUR LAST STEP

There are billions of ideas and goals sitting relaxed in the minds of people. Most people are focusing on the ending touches and refusing to consider the initial touches. 

No matter how long a road is, it begins somewhere and ends somewhere. Are you waiting for the $1,000,000 capital before you begin your dream business? Or are you waiting for everybody to support your dream before you undertake it? Well, it may or may not happen.

 If you want all conditions to be perfect before you make a move then your dream will be sidelined for long. Don’t wait for the rain to stop before you walk towards your dream. Step in the rain now and walk through it. It may stop or may not stop but if you are already in it, it doesn’t matter whether it stops or not. 

You are getting closer to your destination. Pursing a dream is like running in a race. It is mostly about how you begin and how you finish. Being a good starter gives you the urge over the others. Begin with something today. Every beginning is a revival of a dream. Because you only stand a chance of finishing if you start. 

The admiration is enough. It is time to walk your dream. Doing a part today reduces the burden of tomorrow. The ending of our dreams are always admired because it is mostly beautiful. But we forget that the ending is a finished product. It needs to be started at a certain point in time and gradually it become what is desired. 

Take note that your life is limited with time and the more time you waste the lesser you achieve. Every day you waste pushes your dream further by a day. Do yourself a favour and pull your dream closer. 

YOU FILL A SPACE ON THIS PLANET

No matter the kind of life you live, there is a space you occupy on this planet. In this world there are three kinds of people everywhere. 

The first is the kind of people who think they have failed sometime and therefore they give up trying. I called them, the people with failure mentality (squares in the image above). 

The second group are those who think they are not bad, neither are they the best. They try to hang in the middle to make ends meet. They are in the middle of the failures and the winners. I call them, the people with average mentality (circles in the image above).  

Finally to the last group, they are always on top because they think no matter the situation they need to rise to the occasion. They don’t give up until they are on top. I call them the victors or the successful men and women. (Stars in the image above)

THE PEOPLE WITH FAILURE MENTALITY

(The squares in the image above)

There are so many people who have totally given up on their dreams just because the road became a bit rough. These kind of people fail for some time and they admit that they are failures. They quit and stop dreaming big because they fear they might fail again. 

They live far below the heights they were supposed to be. One very painful thing in life is the pain of regret when you do not persevere. Your conscience will haunt you for the rest of your life. You will think that, what if you tried a little, maybe you were just moments a way from achieving your goal. It is indeed very painful. 

But there will always be people occupying such spaces in this word. You are better than this. The only way to be a failure is to stop trying and settling for where you are. When you give up on the future, you give up on your life. This is because it is the future that keep you up to task today so if you don’t see yourself achieving something tomorrow then today will definitely be a waste. 

If you fail the first time, get back, hit the string and rise again but this time with more strength and a better strategy. That is why I give the full meaning of FAIL as Fight Again In Life. If you can fight again, you stand a chance of winning. Keep fighting and settle somewhere higher than this category.

THE PEOPLE WITH AVERAGE MENTALITY

(The circles in the image)

These are the kind of people who only look at how far they have come not how far they want to go. Such people just want to cross the pass mark. If the pass mark is 50%, they aim at just falling anywhere from 50%. They work just to get the bills paid and for up keeping.

 They always think it is ok to be this far. But they are afraid that if they try to go higher, they may lose their current position. Some spend their entire life at doing the same thing without any increase.  In life, if you are not willing to improve and move forward you may be thrown back. Because your current position is someone’s next destination.

 You’ve got to improve and increase. You need to be better than who you were yesterday. It’s good you have come this far, but don’t settle. Make your dream a reality.  Most of these people are afraid to move higher, they are afraid to compete. But what you need to be afraid of is; if you don’t move forward you will be drawn backwards. 

Just like a bicycle, if you don’t move forward you only fall because you cannot stand still. No one is average in pursuing his own dream. It is your dream and you are the best. Nobody can do what you love better than you. Go ahead strive forward and compete. Get to the top because you are your own boss so far as your dream is concerned.

THE VICTORS / MOST SUCCESSFUL
 (The stars in the world map image)

Success is not about winning over someone. It is about winning over yourself. It is about achieving more today than yesterday. There is a long road to your ultimate dream but success comes when you do part of the big dream every day. This group of people are known for high level of faith, love and perseverance for what they do.

 These are the survivors. They go to the battle field of life and fight their way out. In order to realize your dream, you need to have a never give up mentality. You need to understand that your dream is something you will need to protect. If you can protect your dream, you can achieve it. These kind of people see the opportunity within the tough times while others see only the difficulty.

 I call them the STARS in this world because no matter where they come from they make sure they are up. You are on this earth for greatness. Don’t settle where you are. Work hard because hard work pays. Get to the top where you belong.  The world needs your talent so do not disappoint your generation.

YOU HAVE WHAT IT TAKES

You have everything you need to be a star. The decision is yours. Your life can only be at its best when you are able to achieve your dream. This world has squares, circles and stars. 

It is the difficulty in life that differentiate these people. If it was easy everybody will do it. Take advantage of the harsh conditions a make it to the top. There a some people at the bottom (squares) and so many in the middle (circles) but at the top, there are just few people (stars) enjoying and having all they need. 

The stars are on top because some time ago, they made a tough decision to protect their dream, work hard and persevere. When others sleep they were awake working, when others criticize, they stepped on those criticisms to rise higher. It won’t be easy but at the end, it is worth it. Make your life better, don’t follow the crowd, follow your dream. 

THE ENEMY MEANS BUSINESS (until you are down, the devil wont rest)

We live every day in a way we think will help us achieve our dreams. We work hard, burn the midnight kennel, have sleepless nights and some very harsh sacrifices just to get to where we are now. And the devil stands up to reduce us from hero to zero.

The enemy don’t only want to ruin your hard work gains but also want destroy the beautiful future you have. Because when the future is destroyed, there will be no chances of survival. When you can’t see any light ahead, it is very difficult to move forward. 

Do you think they will just sit there and watch you succeed without a fight or an attack? That is not going to happen. You only stand if you cannot be pulled down, you can only strive forward if the force moving you ahead is greater than the force pulling you back. If you are going to stand up and fight, if you are going to leave no space for the enemy, if you are going to raise yourself higher and step on your critics, then you will certainly get the kind of result you must receive.

We are not safe anywhere. There is nowhere with freedom. You need to cause it to occur. You need to silent the accuser, let the devil know that you are a seed and no matter how deep he buries you, you will rise again with even greater strength than before. Be willing to fight for your success because your life depends on it. The enemy want to take what you have now and again struggle with you to get what you dream of having in the future. The question is not whether you are willing to fight but whether you are capable of fighting?

It is not about being present at the battle field, it is about how you can fight your way out, and it is about what you fight with. Your presence just doesn’t make you a survivor, you need to go through it and be still standing when it is over. If you are worshiping God, be serious because the devil mean business.
