NEVER BE STOPPED: An Ode to a Young Nigerian’s Frustrations.

Okay, so yesterday or so, I responded to someone’s comment on a certain person’s page. It turns out that this young Nigerian has had quite some disappointing seasons and reverses in his life and job, and was pleading with this well-known Coach-person to help him with some advice. Ordinarily, there’s nothing wrong with this; but it was this brother’s mindset and disposition that was a problem. He wrote/told this person how he was in fact going to leave his job. That he believes he is up to no good. That he’s failed in most of his endeavours and doesn’t believe he can do anything good. I saw those comments of his and they were quite troubling. I had to comment and lift the guys spirit.

But on further reflection I thought, "How many people may be on this address right now?" Especially in these days of social media where people just see others posting pictures and highlights of their lives, and some people tend to forget their own unique gifts, abilities and inners ideas and be binging on others'. Some even get to a point of being depressed, believing that they can't do much to accelerate or improve their own situation. You allow one failed kexperience or season hijack your emotions and colour your mentality that youl forget to look inwards, think deeply and re-fire again.

I’m writing this to encourage someone out there. You are more than enough and more than capable of accomplishing all that your Maker has placed in your heart hin terms of those beautiful and inspiring dreams, desires and ideas you have on your inside. You’re too powerful and divinely endowed to 'lack' the resource to initiate the process for accomplishing that dream, goal ora destiny in life. Never think that anyone is more talented or more gifted or even more "knwledgeable" than you. We all know in parts. Knowledge is very relative!

You can always learn anything (and I mean anything) you want to learn to become anything you want to be, do and have in this life. It's just a matter of a solid decision ona your part, focus, and time. Everyone and anyone you see doing great things in whatever field today was once an amateur. They were once rookies, with crude talents, abilities or presentation skills. But with persistence, perseverance and belief in themselves and their God-given talents and abilities, they rose to become leading lights in their various industries. You too can replicate and repeat that process. Nobody has "patent" to this thing.

So it's okay to be down sometimes. It's okay to face tough seasons in life, in your career, in business and all. It's okay to fail when you're doing something news and don't know enough yet or don't have enough resources. We all (everyone in the entire planet) face these things at one point or the other. But the key is to never stay there. Never allow yourself to be "identified" with these circumstances, events or seasons in your life. You're not those "situations" and never allow them define you.

Choose happiness and get on with your life. Your dreams and desires are valid, and your goals are reachable. Just get back up, rethink your process and refire again. There’s too much of God’s investment in you to think yourself anything but a massive success and a proudly valuable gift to this country and our world. Never allow those limiting beliefs and feelings; they’re the devil’sl way of wanting to crash your beautiful life and future.

Remember, you can be anything you want to be, do anything you want to do, and have anything you want to have, if you learn HOW. And there’s plenty of information out there to teach you and help you along your own chosen recognized path. There’re books and mentors to guide you into that thing you want to do. So don’t settle. Don’t stop. You’re more than enough. Go out there and go get it done; because you can!

God bless and see you at the top!
