A NOTE TO SELF |Motivational Writing|

                          A NOTE TO SELF
Philippians 4:13
I have the strength to face all conditions by the power that Christ gives me.

Have you been trying to let go of bad habits, laziness, low self-esteem, fear of the unknown? Common YOU, Let them go. The accomplishment of anything doesn’t just begin with a step as per say, but by willfully doing what it takes for that step to begin i.e. Acting with genuine GOALS. I have read books, watched movies and particularly motivational videos, a lot of daily inspirational proverbs and words. I respect those men of motivational videos with Great achievements. But did you know all those proverbs, are written by people like you who many per say are just so positive about life but do nothing more to bring that optimism to reality?
I think it is time we stop procrastinating and acting as we should. And we can only act wisely if we set GOALS. You got to remember that it isn’t all about setting up goals, but doing what it takes to be whom you really want to be.

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO BE?

Here is the most challenging question one will find when growing… In our African context the question of becoming is most common from Adolescence via adulthood and beyond.We should want to be NOT wish to be. Be bold and courageous enough to demand the universe its free gifts. Yes the universe has a lot more gifts to offer you and me for FREE but unfortunately we don’t even know that. We think we are limited. No you are worth more than you think and can achieve whatever it is you want to. Come to think of this, God created you and I in his own image, and you know HE IS A GREAT GOD AND CAN DO EXCEEDINGLY MORE THAN WHAT WE CAN IMAGINE. So too can YOU become what you WANT TO and even more if you can ask for HIS Grace to be.          
• Do you want to become a Gospel singer or Dancer?
• Do you want to become a Writer?
• Do you want to become a Medical Doctor?
• Do you want to become a Lawyer?
• Do you want to become an R&B artist, an afro-pop star, an entertainment Icon?
Remember, don’t wish to be. INSTEAD, want to be what you want most, what the universe wants you to become too. Then you will find out you are a happy human being.

MIRROR IMAGE

   A mirror is a smooth piece of glass with one side coated with paint. When looked into, it reflects the image of whatever object in front of it. The common features we first see when we look into the mirror are;
Oh what a beauty, what a physique, I am loving the complexion, gush I’m adding some more pounds, eew that acne isn’t giving away yet many at times we fail to see the real image of the person in front of that mirror as the universe defines us.
• You fail to see that the real you isn’t just that image you see in that mirror but much more.
• You fail to see that you are strong.
• You fail to see that you are wise, that you can be an intellectual.
• You fail to see that you are unique.
• You fail to see that there is nobody in the world like you.
• You fail to see that you can become anything you want to.
• You fail to see that you can be Obama of your country, Bill Gate of your own, that icon you call your idol.
 Com'on work hard, be courageous and get what life have in stock for you and gradually you will not just want to be that person you see as your idol. You will be greater than that in your own life domain and you will be happy to be YOU and only YOU. Then proudly say ”I love the reflection I see when I look into the mirror, It’s just so promising and equal the real me”.

MAKE IT HAPPEN

Have you set a series of goals and achieved very little or none of these goals in a given time frame, say six months, a year or two?
Have you been wanting to become a music artist and you keep watching other musicians perform, then you do basically nothing about your own desires, and whenever you hear them sing you think you’ll soon be like them or more than them someday?
Have you love to become a psychosocial counselor, and then whenever you see one pour out knowledgeable advice to the public you really wish it were you and the only thing you say is comment “tell them” or just hate for no reason, but you don’t put in any more efforts and keep dreaming of you being one someday?
There are many more things we desire and don’t take action and time keeps ticking while we are left behind. Time waits for no one remember, and once gone cannot be regained and you’ll end up blaming no one but yourself for not haven accomplished any of your dreams. That will be sad indeed, I pray may it never happen that way in your whole life. Here in the subsequent blog post I am going to give you a lot of advice and ways on how to make them happen (those desires, ambitions, wealth, and accomplishments).
THANK YOU'''
