THE PRIZE WE FAIL TO ACKNOWLEDGE

We must not take for granted the gift God  has given us. Nelson Mandela once said ‘It always seem impossible until it is done’. The only difference between you and the person you admire  that has achieved greatness is that, he or she knows something that you do not know.

Everyone is born with greatness and everyone has the potential of greatness; but there is a prize to pay to attain that greatness.

Today we celebrate innovations, technological feats and mind-blowing discoveries exhibited  by our fellow human beings.

Why do some people achieve greatness whiles their contemporaries are laid by?

Before I unfold some untold truth about the prize of greatness, I want to encourage you to be determined to live your life in such a way that, when you die and leave the earth; generations after you will know that once upon a time a person like you did live.

Greatness is an awesome feat most especially when it brings a kind of liberation to the human race.

Selfishness and greed are in the homes of mediocre people whereas Gladness and exploits are in the homes of great people.

Dear reader, understand that a vision of what to wear, a car to buy, a house to build, the desire of fame are the dreams of ‘babies’(shallow thinkers) but a vision of making an  impact and transforming the lives of people  in your world are the dreams of great people.

Have you ever wondered why most great people  are silent about their success stories and the prize they paid? Until we discover the prize  our great people have paid, we may not achieve the kinds of feats they have achieved.

A wise man said, ‘the shoes of giants are very big, however the feeble feet of an admirer in the giant’s shoes will build his capacity and tenacity till he engages the exact things the giants do to achieve the same level of achievements and beyond’.

Bishop David Oyedepo once said, ‘ every Star has a scar and the scar of every star is sacrifice’. This stands to explain that Stars are paying deadly prizes far above their contemporaries.

I believe you want to achieve greatness but understand that it does not come on a silver platter and a presented plate of  ‘meal’  but there are prizes to be paid to see the manifestation of your dream.

WHAT  ARE SOME OF THE  PRIZES OF GREATNESS?

1

-      Believe and acknowledge in God. All good and perfect gifts come from God and God is the one who gives one the ability to achieve greatness

2-      Discipline –No great leader waste his time on frivolous things at the expense of his or her dreams

3-      Diligence- Be diligent to your task and doggedly pursue your vision

4-      Sacrifice- Going beyond the ordinary to accomplish extra ordinary results

5-      Stay Positive- A narrow mind can in no sense be expanded to attempt thinking of doing exploits. Engage in positive complements

No great star runs a normal schedule. Life is a race; you can decide to walk, run or fly, but whichever way you choose make sure you catch your Kairos moment.
