A lot of people today walk around aimlessly,
leading unfulfilled lifestyles, pursuing futile dreams and careers, whilst, aspiring
to attain positions that will only yield the fruits of a life of servitude. In
the process, they forget that they we were all created intentionally by God
Almighty. Yes, He created you for a reason. You didn’t just appear on earth by
chance. As a matter of fact, it was for the fulfilment of a specific purpose to
add something to the world. That something represents value. The latter is
targeted towards the furtherance of the human endeavour, and we must all
contribute our quota to its actualisation. And, you are no different.
I often ask myself what the purpose of my
existence was, and how I use it to impact the global community in a positive
manner? The answer is glaring to me. Truth be told, every human walking the
surface of the earth has a role assigned to him or her that has to be fulfilled
be it by natural or spiritual blandishment (or persuasion). Either way, you
will eventually find yourself doing that peculiar thing (or combination of
things) that will contribute towards the accomplishment of your purpose of
existence.
I for one was not able to unravel my true
purpose earlier in life. So, upon graduating from my third University degree (PhD)
at Imperial College London and Queen Mary University of London, I began to
struggle. From one interview to the other, my hopes dashed. But, I kept moving
forward, instead of being dismayed and looking down on myself, as many in my
shoes at that time would.
Moving forward for me, meant, re-strategizing
by digging deeper and asking my Creator the right questions. I would sometimes
have a me time. Trust me, there’s nothing as pertinent as sitting quietly and
doing some personal assessment of where you are in life, and trying to ascertain
where you ought to be. A plethora of crazy ideas will pop up in your mind, in
the course of your, so called, ‘me time,’ but, zeroing into that one point or
moment that will hopefully get you to your place of dream, is key. That’s your
eureka moment.
That new thing you have discovered is what you
have to contribute to the world. So, go out there and dominate, impact your
world and do those things that will get you to attain greatness in life. You
were created for more, and without limits. Remember to humble yourself and open
your mind to fresh thought processes, ideas, and game-changing possibilities.
To become wealthy, you have to dream big, and
work ten times harder. With God on your side and you looking to HIM for
direction(s), you will in no time impact your world and attain greatness.
