TOMORROW IS TODAY.

#14

I want to be an inspiration to the world, I want to touch people’s life, not by what I say or by what I do but by just being me. I don’t know if that sounds normal but I want to motivate people. I want people to look up to me, to want to be me. I want to, in five to ten years from now, look back and see the changes I have made in the lives of others. I want a little girl or boy to look up to me, to aspire to be me when she/he grows up, not for a bad thing but for a good thing.

I may not be in the best position in life right now. I am definitely not where I want to be in life right now but I know that I still have a lot of years ahead of me and that If I really apply myself, if I forget about the pleasures of this world and just starve myself of that for up to five years I would come out strong and victorious. I believe that I can do great things, I believe that I have an untapped potential that is just waiting to be noticed. I read somewhere that the first step to being great is believing that you can be great.

In life there a lot of obstacles, a lot of limitations. People telling you you can’t achieve your goals, your background limiting your potentials, lack of money, or maybe lack of proper application of your potentials, but the worst type of limitation in life  is you not believing in yourself. If you don’t believe in yourself how can you expect others to believe you? Over the past few years I have felt bad for myself, always looked down on myself and always doubted myself. Whenever I had an idea, there was always this small voice telling me that I couldn’t do it. Telling me to give up even before I had started and I had always fallen for it. I had always given up, always been too scared to take risks because I was always afraid of failing.

In 2013 when I had just entered the university I so desperately wanted to start a blog, matter of fact I opened a WordPress account to tell you how serious I was about this. I loved writing, loved being able to tell a story through the written words. But then one night as I laid on my bed this small voice came to me, discouraging me, assuring me that I would fail, who would read your blog?, what do you have to write?. The voice was practically telling me to give up even before I had published my first post on the blog and sadly I fell for it and till this day I regret it. I didn’t pursue my blogging dream that year or the next and it pained me. And to think of how far I would have gone with my blog if only I had not listened to the voice. But I am not going to let that discourage me, I have accepted my loss and I have picked myself up and started all over again.

To everyone reading this, if you have a goal a dream or a talent you can work on, please do it now because the best time to do anything is now, not tomorrow, not next week,  but now. Even though the pros of achieving your goals seem less than the cons, as long as you have passion for it and it is not illegal, do not let anybody stop you. Start that blog today. Start writing that book today. Start learning a new language today. Start learning how to play that instrument today. Start learning how to sew, how to do makeup, how to design today. Start that business today. Start going to school today. If you are already in school and your grades are not as good as you want them to be, start putting in more effort today.

Whatever it is you think you have to have now, you have to enjoy now because it won’t be there again, trust me in five to ten years from now that thing won’t have value to you anymore. Chase the things that would last you a lifetime. A college degree won’t wake up one morning and leave you but a friend, boyfriend/girlfriend, or even a wife/husband can do that. Chase the things that in ten years from now you would be happy you made that decision. If you have financial issues, just table your problems to God, trust me He always listens and always has a solution to every problem.
