Naija Motivation

There are so many times things dream of accomplishing, never work out the way we wanted. Sometimes, it seems the object of your desire, your dream, may not realize after all. You will get to a point that you will see the dream as an exercise in futility and you begin to contemplate whether it is worth carrying on. All I have to tell you is that you hold on firmly to your dream because it is surely going to come to pass.

When I was in the University, I used to be scared when I look at the day I will leave the system. The prevalent thought then is that things are difficult out there that there are no jobs for those that have graduated talk less of those that are about graduating. Coupled with the quality of education I was getting then, I was really scared stiff because I couldn’t see how I will be able to compete favourably with those that have undergone quality education. I was always praying to God to help me out of my dilemma.

As a young guy following his dreams, I faced a lot of challenges. The business I started with nothing was showing no sign of growth and things were very difficult for me.

One decision I made before leaving the University was that I will NEVER go about in search of paid employment and when things weren’t working out, temptations to rescind on my decision were coming in droves. A lot of pressure was mounted on me to drop my ambition and go in search of a job that will be bringing regular income, but I stood by my decision and decided to trudge on. I persisted, having faith in the realisation of my dreams and the rest is now history.

Just about everyone has heard, and most people agree to some extent, that goal setting is a great way to get yourself where you want to go in life. If you feel you can’t seem to reach the life you know you were born to lead, then effective goals can be a great motivating force.

As you begin to set and achieve goals your self confidence will grow astronomically. But where do you start and what will make your goals worthwhile? This article will help you to start setting effective goals which will lead you where you want to go in life.

I am terming this week, the goals week and I will be sharing articles on Goals Setting and what it can do for anyone. The article I am sharing with you today, is one I wrote some years back and was able to pull out of my archives. I am sure you will enjoy it so much:

“Would you get into a taxi and tell the cabby, ‘Driver anywhere’?

Would you wander onto the first plane you saw at the gate without bothering to ask where it is flying?

“Faith is the confident assurance that what we hope for is going to happen. It is the evidence of things we cannot yet see.” Heb. 11:1 (NLT)

Faith is a powerful force that the whole of humanity is yet to embrace. Most people have read the quoted verse several times yet it has not been imbibed into their lives. So many people can afford to live below their God-given potentials because they have not been able to have faith in themselves and all that the scripture has said concerning them.
