Written in the stars

How can you possibly make a difference without firstly becoming MAD. When no great achievement was clearly seen that could size up your dream. When no step was seen along the route you want to embark on. When no principle is clearly seen as governing your choices. When They can't see the dust-like nano elements which could help you build castles in the air. When all they heard you explain was good for nothing.

As you walk though, fears grow hands and legs and become soldiers creeping out of the screams "are you mad!" Said to you by loved ones, with doubts drawing the battle line across your mind, inner conflict erupts, in all haunting your golden dreams.

When no way is seen up and down, you must fight through. Source for likely information that will give you the light to fight the dark shades of seeing your vision as "a sowing in the wind."

Just like you no one gave Paulsoft Eboh a chance, no one thought Author Anyaele Sam Chiyson could hang his name on everest, no one believed Happy James could inscribe his name on the platter of gold, none thought Tiwangi Kyle could book a space among the stars. No one knew #Robert_Fisher would place his head on a pedestal.

It all started when these guys decided to stop being the survivor and started living. When they realized that the feeding, clothing and sheltering they were struggling to get then are what  mad men gets with ease. They elevated their thought. They can't wait for another Star trek, they simply took the uneasy journey to the stars.

Do the same, its time you just have to cease seeing that vision as a dream and start calling it a project that will kick start now.

INCREDIBLE WAY TO BE A NORTHERN STAR THE WISE MEN WANTS TO FOLLOW

The last time I checked, there are still space in the sky for more stars to occupy. To become a star, you have to play your card to aces. We have our own cards to play in life, just like my friend Vicky said "To get ace, there's a lot of struggles & sacrifices...Its in our hands to play to achieve the  ACE and become the Star." When you shape your life to shine like that of a Northern Star, wise men and great things will have no choice than to follow you and as life still continues to be a game of negotiations, with cards of choices and the dice of values, what you play is what you get. But how will you likely win when you don't know how to play? Not to worry, i will likely teach you a better way to play and it began like this:

You choose the Way to Go: Some people made choices before I was born.now I had to inherit the consequences of their bad choices. At a certain time, i had made wrong choices too but I don't have to kill myself or kill them for making the wrong choice which affected me, I just have to forgive them and myself which will allow me live my life with little mistakes and enable me live up for myself. I then realized that choices are accumulative, one choice will always determine another choice creating chains of choices and the kind of choice  i  make will determine how small or big i  will become in life, so I took responsibility of my life.

Take responsibility of your life: You have to carry your own cross and take it upon yourself. Taking responsibility of your life will enable you see that you are the owner of your life and had to wear your heart in your sleeves and become the determinant of what happens to you and become aware of the kind of influence you have around you. It will also allow you to see yourself as an uncompleted project that needs some positive touches, so you have to take charge of your life to discover "you" and tell yourself nothing but the truth.

Discover the truth. The truth will activate your self awareness and enlighten your conscience to guide you to make better choices. The truth serve you as a sieve to sieve the wrongs and the negatives out of your life, it dictates wrong friends, and tell you the future about yourself . It is the microscope you view each advice before taking it. It shapes your character, renew your mind and mortify your flesh.  It mirrors people's intentions and reveal to you there plans no matter the guises they hide. The truth will determine your values, your norms, your principles which is the foundation of your life. As a Crusader i found my truth in the Bible, am not a jihadist but some people claim to find theirs in Quran, others in Krishna or Buddha. Then which are you?

Which side are you:  Christ conscience is the Way, the Truth and the Light. This Truth of God will illuminate the dark path you are walking on, yourself and show you the rifht way to go as you discover yourself. You need to be in the side of the Angels.

Discover yourself: self discovery is power, those who had discovered themselves take charge of their life, their character, temperant, emotions is in check. It helps you discover your potentials.

Discover Your Potentials: Potentials are the untapped resources inside of you. They are those hidden talents that can help your world grow and make our world beautiful. Don't expect a smooth ride.

Don't expect a smooth ride: It won't be a hitch free road, remember a gold must pass through fire, diamonds must be refined, most times the road is rough and you get knocked down as much by gallops, most times there are bridges to cross, the reason you need to pick up woods of lessons when you fall to help construct your Bridges above the crocodile lakes. you need to determine your company, they can lead astray.

Get a goal and a plan: get a goal and a plan but don't put yourself first, your serving people and helping them circle your plans and don't get frustrated when it is not achieved, you divide them into short term goals and long term goals, short term is your daily goals meant to help you attain the long term. Learn to carry over the unattained goal over and learn to adjust them with time but don't fail to hear from God and discover His plans for you.

WHAT A COUNTRY

There is a country docked away in the western African region where it takes nothing to invent a "Time Machine" that back dates time, in this country this machine does wonders on birth certificates. With this machine an eighty year old is sixty planning to retire next five years when she\he is not even sure if they would survive the next six months. There, they die in office but before they die, they are sure to have a replacement at any cost. In this country, government created corruption which the civil service is working so hard to sustain. the eighty year old woman is collecting her great grand daughter's salary since she's one. Our Public university lecturers go on strike when there salary is jeopardized but fail to strike when the student's welfare, equipments, instruments and lecture material are not in good working condition. we suffer to learn and graduate half baked. in this country Civil servants go on strike when their request are not met, but fail to fight for the pensioners, when their pension are delayed or even to lobby the government to create more employment for the unemployed youths. This country is where "no job orientation" is being sounded on NYSC camp ground by men old enough to be my grand father who fail to retire. They call the millions my parents spent and the four, five, six year I spend till my graduation a waste. So am encouraged to learn and start trade as a correct Igbo man with no capital. Maybe thats why crime and tourism sky rocketed high! Nigeria is just fine when you've designed an ATM on public fund, you simply call for rallies and protest when it stopped paying with the guise of fighting for the unemployed youths and ill favored ethnic group. Due to poverty the unemployed youth do respond quick to manipulation only to be used as tools. As long as Abia State remains in family hands, it is on safe hands. why complain of lack of growth and development when you ceded it to them for "keke-napep", #200 and Mitsibushi bus on the election day, after all a leader is the direct product of the people............ I hear some people say its only those of us who didn't get our own share complain the most. What a country. Our government impose austerity measures on us, now we are paying for an ineffective and inefficient personnel's inability to forecast, plan and strategize. This is a country where most of our Pastors and men of god are among the richest in the world. Our corrupt civil servants pay huge tithe to sustain blessings and the poor masses are encouraged to "sow seeds of faith" for miracle favor. we are often told not to complain but pretend and say "it is well." no wonder Karl Max categorically stated that "Religion is the opium of the masses" we are surviving, since there is no safe heaven to run to, am still proud of this country though, and daring for #change..... starting with myself.
