Before a house is built, there must be a
prototype of that particular building on paper. Were the idea has being
conceived already. For one to lead effectively. One has to be able to see into
the future. He has to be able to think and reason forward. When one thinks and
plans towards the future. The actions and way he lives every day. Must work in
connection to what he wants to become or achieve in the future. Nothing happens
by chance. Some of the inventions which are in use now. Has being conceived by
inventors a long time ago.
I
remember very well several years ago. Then I was a teenager, there once lived
an old man. This old man had provided virtually all the answers to every
question that were ever asked or brought to him. One day two young men decided
to prove the old man wrong for the first time.

They caught two birds and went straight to
the old man with their hands closed tight with birds. They said old man! You
have always provided answer to all questions ever asked in this village. So
now, tell us these birds we got in our hands are they life birds or dead birds.
The old man was astonished to hear this strange question for the first time.
The two young men had decided beforehand
that if the old man answers the question by saying “the birds are dead ‘they
will release the birds from their hands and let the birds fly away but if the
old man on the other one says ‘the birds are alive’, they will quickly squeeze
the birds in their hands to death to prove the old man wrong so either way the
old man would be wrong. Even the old man knew this and decided not attempt that
dreaded question. But concluded by telling them that, it all depends on them to
decide whether the birds are alive or not.
You see, friends. The poorest man in the
world is the man without a dream. The most frustrated man in the world is the
man with dream that never become a reality. I am sure that everyone, no matter
the race, culture, nationality or socio-economic status; no matter how rich or
poor we are, weather we were born in the bush, village or amidst marble floors,
we all dream.
Everything depends on our decision on how we
want to carry on in this life. It all depends on the big picture we see or
conceive within us. If you can think it, you can do. Whatever God can do for
you is what your mind has failed to think. As far as your mind can think
anything it can achieve it. That is why we must strive to feel our mind with
positive thoughts. Cause everything comes from within.
Dreams are a bit parts of our lives and you
must do whatever it takes to make them a reality by the plans you make, the
cause you take and things you do. Don’t dwell on the past mistakes: Leave
yesterday behind along with its problems, worries and doubts. Realize you can’t
change the past but you can start a new tomorrow. Don’t try to do everything at
once take a step at a time.
Stay strong, start something new. Dream big
cause there no limitation to what you can dream and achieve. So dream on and
get set to lead the future.
