In the movie
Kunta Kinte there was a scene where the slaves planned to take over the ship
from their captive so that they can change the direction of the ship to their
home. Though their plan was not successful i was struck by the power they
portrayed for their dream which was to get back home.
Their dream gave
them a lot of energy which they channeled to change they desire for their
future.
Your dream
will determine your future, without a dream of your own you will be pulled by
many other enticing dream that aren’t yours.
Everyone should
have a dream and not everyone’s dream is yours.
Your dream
will determine your destination and you need to dream big. There
is no crime in not dreaming big but there is a crime to your destiny when you fail to dream.
is no crime in not dreaming big but there is a crime to your destiny when you fail to dream.
The dream
you have for your future will always determine the decisions you take; for
every step you want to take you need to ask yourself the effect of that
decision on your future and dream. There have
been times i have wanted to take some decisions as a youth but I considered my
future and dream and this has propitiated me from taking some steps that would
have derailed me.
Your dream
will cost you and it will take some sacrifices from you; your dream will take
away some of your desires. Your current situation might want to prevent you
from dreaming big but make up your mind to, most people are scared of everything
including their dreams.
People give different reasons why they don’t dream or dream big and one of their major reason is Fear. Everyone has
fears but if you keep worrying over your dream instead of taking steps you will
have a worried future, your dreams are like the airplane’s propeller they keep
you moving. You will have to learn to fall and move, your falling does not mean
you are a failure. You have just learnt another step that won’t give you a
favorable result in the future.
Everyone is
important and no one’s dream is greater than others, like my mentor Pastor Sam
Adeyemi will say we are all created to shine and we all should shine. It is
your dream that will make you shine and it is your responsibility to find out
your purpose and the dream you have of yourself concerning your future.
Constantly ask yourself, what do I want to be remembered for? And what do I
need to do so that I can be remembered?
Fear is a
limitation and fear is the opposite of Faith, it has been discovered that most
successful men in the world have a strong faith on something and most is
usually their God. Have Faith in God, God has not given you that dream with
fear as a supporter.
It is normal
to have fears and be anxious but instead for you to allow the fear control you;
show that you are smarter by challenging that fear and adding it as a resource
for your moving forward.
You can
overcome that fear by imagining and thinking of the benefits and results of
your dream. The benefits will definitely outweigh your fear. Nelson Mandela was
a man of dreams and he said your dreams are almost impossible until you get
there. That fear will always come but you need to overcome it.
As the youth
of today we should realize that Fear won’t take you nowhere but your dream will
take you somewhere which is always to the top. Have faith in God as you walk
towards your dream
