Some weeks back, I watched a video titled, “No condition is permanent:” by one America’s top speakers, Rene Godefroy. The message was based on the story of this man right from childhood. Space will not permit me to state everything that I heard from this message but I will try to paraphrase everything.
Rene was born in Haiti, a Central American country. He was born into poverty and was even abandoned by his mother at the age of 9 months. His mother left him in search of a greener pasture. While growing up, Rene was inflicted with some debilitating diseases that so many people told his guardian he would NEVER survive.
Rene left his village at age 7 to meet his mother in Port au Prince, capital of Haiti, and discovered that his mother was still poor as
before. They kept struggling and did so many menial jobs. At age 15 or so, Rene had the chance of visiting Canada with a dance troupe and he eloped afterwards with the dream of getting into America. He got smuggled into America by hiding under a truck. When he got into America, he made up his mind to become one of the top celebrities in America, a dream so many people scoffed at.
From one menial job to another, Rene kept the dream alive and at a point he became the door man in a hotel. While opening doors for people, he occupied himself by reading motivational books. A chance came for him, one day, to meet with the top motivational speakers in America all because his hotel was hosting them. Anytime he sees one speaker, he walks up to him/her and introduce himself as someone that will also become a GREAT speaker one day. He said whenever the room is empty, he will go in to speak to the empty chairs.
To cut the story short, most of the people he spoke to then are people he sits with today. He is one of the top speakers in America and an Author of so many life-changing books. Rene had been able to do so many things people thought he would NEVER do. He became the village hero though so many people thought he will NEVER survive back then. Those who looked down on him in his childhood, are now looking up to him as someone worthy of being celebrated.
Napoleon Hill said, “Whatsoever the mind of man can conceive, if he can believe, he can ACHIEVE it.” Your life shouldn’t be about where you are today, it should be about where you are going. Things may not be working the way you envisaged, just hold on, it is a matter of time that you will also be celebrated. No matter how badly people view you, just keep focused on your dream. People that have despised you will one day come to celebrate with you.
Remember: NO CONDITION IS PERMANENT!

You are doing well Bola- God bless your work!
I agree with you that consistency, hardwork and discipline should help achieve whatever dream an individual conceives- we must however acknowledge the overbearing influence of God’s grace.

Bolly,
In one of your articles or mails i got this
‘ACTION is what makes the different between a dreamer and an achiever. It is never enough to dream, it takes much more than that to achieve anything in life. It is not about goals or your plans, the MASTER KEY is ACTION. Nothing more than that.
Rene acted on what he dreams of and he eventually achieved is dream.
my dear friend DO MORE TALK LESS
Bolly you TOO MUCH
