Many young
people of our time want everything to happen fast, ‘now now, osiso osiso,
ozugbo ozugbo.’ This has put a lot of people unnecessarily on the wrong
lane of line. Many others are locked up in a prison of their minds having
unhealthy comparisons.
‘Kpum
Isi ikpuru Linus, mana Isi gi odi ka nke Linus?’
Be at
competition with your last best performance. If you compare yourself with Mr X,
you may find yourself in a corner where you can’t be your best. Find your
rhythm. That a younger person has made much money at his age does not mean you
should think less of yourself or wish you must make it before nightfall.
Instead, find where you are created to shine and start on time to do so. Today
may not be your time, tomorrow may be. If you don't give up, everything is
going to be alright, maybe not today but eventually.
Someone
just got married and gets pregnant immediately and you got married since and
your baby hasn't come and you are already making plans to start
visiting some strange places that are against your faith. What will you
then say to people that stayed faithful many years before children started
coming? No, don’t fret, don’t lose your faith and your confidence in God; time
happens to everything. Your time may not be the same with another person’s
time.
Trust
God, He is faithful.
Really,
there is nothing wrong with achieving success at an unbelievably young age but
I am a firm advocate of proper foundation. Though talent and gifting may
vary but the firmer the foundation, the stronger the building and this is what
makes the difference. If you are 18 years old and you want to ride the latest
Range Rover Sports car, I will ask, ‘What is your plan? What is your business
strategy, what is your idea, how are you putting your talent into use, how do
you want to get the money, or you want to ride the one that belongs to your
father?
Every
true success has a history, every product has a process.
Look
around, most persons who arrived at the top of their career took some time
before getting there. Though many of us want things to happen now now, how many
of us are willing to pay the price on time; to start the journey on time, the
time you start will show when you will arrive. A pregnant woman will have nine
months to deliver her baby, she will not say, because she is being hasty that
she wants to have her baby in six months; that doesn't happen.
Instead
of day-dreaming, having an action plan is a great way to start. You will be
same person five years from now except the persons you meet and the books that
you read. Ambition is priceless but commitment to work and consistency on your
vision will get you to the next level. Get ready to scale through the hurdles
in the process because if you can’t handle more heat you can’t have more light.
Don’t
worry, don’t doubt, have faith, there is much room at the top. Believe me when
I say this, the sky is too wide for two birds to collide. Just find where God
has planted you and shine from there.
Remember
God makes all things beautiful in His time; every good and perfect gift comes
from Him.
In your
time, you will shine!
Stay
Positive, Be Blessed!
