Nwokwu Stanley, a student of the NATIONAL OPEN UNIVERSITY OF NIGERIA speaks about his trip to the land of his father's fathers.
The best way to predict the future is to create it. Did I
just say that...yes, I did. Too many people, students especially always
frown at nature's or life lessons. Majority of us see or understand life
to be a mystery which in the right sense is not. There is nothing
enigmatic about life apart from the spiritual challenges and battles
from the devil.
Don't be weary of today's daunting situations you are faced
with, rather, keep pushing forward to the next level and don't lose
your staying power in your quest for greatness. Nothing good comes so
easy and be aware that every notable achievement met with series of
failures and challenges before attaining success.
To create is to design, to invest and to form that which is
rooted in the subconscious mind. It could also mean "to put something
into existence" just like the Bible made us to understand that God
created the universe in six day. What a great designer we have in our
creator. He created us in his image and likeness. We are like God. we
can also design and create things like him... What a revelation
.
Never you say "I quit". If you do, you are not in line with
the creator. You can design your future and have dominion over the
earth just as God promised us in the Holy Bible. Remember, God said "let
us make man...". He didn't stopped at just saying it, he believed and
push himself to action which was the act of creating man. That
illustration is to authenticate how unlimited we are as humans, since we
are like him. Our accomplishments are limitless. if only we can
conceive it in our hearts, we can achieve it. "For every faith will work
if it is rooted in the heart".
What most people don’t understand is that passion is the result of
action, not the cause of it. We all saw the result of God's action.
There are so many people leveraging on the model God revealed to us
through his words and deeds. We all might have heard of Martin Luther
king junior, an exponent of the emancipation of the negroes in American.
He predicted the future by creating it with his actions. He know how
impossible the task was, so, he carefully designed a system which was
called "the nonviolent approach". He had a dream. Do you also have a
dream?
Yes, we all have dreams and purpose for our existence and
the only way to go about it is to create or design it. Never rely on
mere wishing for a bright future when you can work it out from the
subconscious to reality.
There is a big difference between mere wishing for
something and actually believing and acting towards getting it. A lack
of understanding of this difference has meant failure to millions of
people, especially the students of our time.
This article is meant to strengthen those that are weary
already and to remind all the students out there with big and impossible
dreams that "the impossible is possible". Growth comes through pain and
struggle.
Rise early and you will shine early. The doers are the
believers in all works of life. Trust me, the future only belongs to
those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
Here are 13 steps to take in creating your future:
* Believe in yourself
* Keep pushing forward
* Understand the difference between temporary defeat and permanent failure
* Be determined, bold and reject inhibitions imposed by old tradition
* Use time creatively
* Understand the principles of life
* Set goals and create a detailed plan of action
* Let your packaging be visionary
* Study to be accomplished, not just for good grades
* Don't give up
* Be decisive
* Improve your emotional intelligence
* Give attention to reading
Good luck!!!
See you at the top
