There comes a time in one’s life that everything seems dead, everything seems moving in a low pace, every day seems to be a bad day for you, you cannot even tell the exact thing happening to you at a time…you see life as unfair, miserable, as if you are not loved by any, things are stagnant, you see a Goliath ahead of you. Those are the real times to REFINE you into GOLD, you have a David in you, yea, there’s a winner inside of you that can take you through the storms as smooth as ice.
Many a time, it is how you see what you see that makes the difference, the storm in your life is never your enemy, he is your BEST FRIEND, yes your bosom friend trying to help you be refined into a pure gold. Immediately you are intimidated by your friend (the storm), he becomes your worst enemy, but the day you embrace him, the secrets to his weak points are revealed, and after you’ve embraced him, do not stay idle, do what winners do; pursue him, make him understand your worth, let him know that in the mist of stars; you are a STAR and your way is bright to NAVIGATE through it with resilience.
In the mist of the storms are mountains to climb, giants to conquer, prisons to break and rivers to cross, but it takes only the man with the positive mental vision to overcome…after you have developed the positive attitude or mental vision, you can never go without COMMITMENT, DETERMINATION and most especially PERSEVERANCE and or ENDURANCE to climb, to conquer, to BREAK and to cross, never look back, push ahead, for your protector is by you. I challenge you to ARISE and stop being mute, YOU CAN. When battles are fought and victories are won, there are stories to tell and that makes the winner a great figure.
Until you conquer, it is not over. Ahead of the storm lies the biggest treasury that will blow your mind and when you overcome, the world will hear of you, you will be a hero after the victory, your name will be recorded in the history books. Never lost focus of your vision of overcoming the storm to your dreamland, stay firm; unwavering, at this moment, you either win or lose and that depend on your focus and vision. It will be a big error to waver in this matter. Life is a game of thrones; if you play hard and wisely, you will sit on the highest throne and that highest throne is after the storm.
Your generation is looking up to you, you are an icon in your family, community, country and the world at large and you can never afford to fail them. I see, feel and sense that you are an overcomer, yes, reflect and remember the giant you defeated yesterday, you overcame that giant to overcome and you can, yes you can.
“The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore”- Vincent Van Gogh, never stop advancing in life because of a storm, for after the storm, is jubilation.
You are almost there, never give up in chasing your dream, you are too big a star to quit pursuing, break barriers and advance, for the way is bright.
Remember this theorem ‘PPAP’. Pray, Plan, Act and Pray… never PLAN if you have not PRAYED and never ACT if you have not PLANNED most of all; forget not to PRAY after acting.
YOUR ARE A STAR!
