Age is not the real deal
In the Journey of self-esteem, self-defence, self-discovery, self-actualization, self-fulfilment, and all, age is not the real deal to be considered but what you are made of.
Over the years l observed that Children, Teenagers, and Young Adults are being limited as a result of their age. Oh, you are too young to start writing now, you are too young to be a leader, you are too young to get this job, even when you had the best qualifications and experience for the job, we need someone between 40-45years old.
That ideology should be corrected and am so glad l wasn't a victim of this, l started my first public speaking at the age of Five in the church, and l was allowed to express myself in a crowd of great men and women, of which l had stage fright then, but I still ended up saying what l was meant to say, l was celebrated amid grown-ups and that feeling gave me the courage to do more.
l kept on practising day and night, at the age of ten, l would stand in front of the mirror to practice public speaking, l got involved in the debate, quizzes and all just to make a good public speaker, l won every debate l got engaged in as a result of self-confidence others saw, but within me, l was shaken, didn't stop there, l got into teaching after high school just to build up myself, l got employed in a school by just a question l answered correctly in a Sunday school class,l never knew the Sunday school teacher was the CEO (Chief of staff ) of a school.
lt didn't stop there, up till now you will see one small me amid great men and women of which am loyal to always and always grateful of this great privilege given to me.
If l didn't start then, l don't think l would have been where l am today.
Age is not the real deal, it is better to start now than later.
PURPOSE
Sitting by the tree side at dawn enjoying the calmness, and the coolness of the morning breeze, just then it came to me to pick up my pen and write about this "PURPOSE".
Everything on earth is for a purpose, the tree, and the air we breathe in is for a purpose, the food and water we drink are meant for a purpose and we are conscious of them.
Without air(Oxygen) no one will be alive
Without food and water, there will be starvation which will lead to death.
As l ponder on this word PURPOSE, l realized that not all humans are conscious of their purpose in life. if we know the purpose of money and things around us.
Why can't we know the purpose of why we were born?
One of the most important Words we all ought to discover is PURPOSE.
Without PURPOSE, dreams won't be actualized.
Without PURPOSE there won't be any reason for birth. So why do we neglect our PURPOSE and go for things that don't worth it?
PURPOSE is what keeps you going
No two persons have the same PURPOSE in life.
Just as Food, water, and oxygen are needed to be alive, PURPOSE is what makes the world a better place to live in.
THE ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS
The first time l heard about the word FAITH, I practised it by laying my hands on the television that got worse in the process of watching my favourite television show, it went off immediately after a loud sound, l perceived the smell of it, l knew l was in big trouble because l was the only one at home that afternoon, l said a word of prayers and left the room, l went outside and started playing with friends during evening, we had light and l ran into the room and put on the television, to my greatest surprised it was working again, l screamed with so much joy and satisfaction, oh Faith is real, with my little level of understanding.
I heard about DETERMINATION and l got DETERMINED.
I heard about VISION and I WROTE mine down. I heard about HARDWORKING and l PRACTICED it. l heard about POTENTIALS and l am CURRENTLY working on it.
How many positive WORDS have you HEARD? and What did you DO about them? What are you DOING about it?
We talk about SUCCESS when there is no Action. We talk about FULFILMENT when there is no VISION.
We talk about PRIZE where there is no Determination. We talk about WEALTH when there is no Investment. We talk about GREATNESS when there is no TIME MANAGEMENT.
We talk about VALUE when we don't VALUE Ourselves. We are in search of HAPPINESS when we are not REAL to ourselves.
True SUCCESS comes from Within. The Road Map To Success is Self-Discovery and Putting all the Positive Words you have Heard into Action. l Desire to see you and l at the TOP and Together we SHALL GET THERE.
You made great points. Age isn't actually the ish.
