THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 85, TOPIC: THE DANGERS OF WHAT IF?

 


I have thought of the best title to give this article and the above was all I could think of.

So many lives have not been inspired or will I say some destinies have been limited or simply not being helped because we have always dwelt so long on these two words “ What if ”.

What if, I am criticized? What if I don’t sing the song so well? What if I fail at my first attempt and many what-ifs?

IN THOSE DAYS

Some of my friends and I in 2012 pioneered a group called “world-changers” and in the early stage of The initiative I had so many questions unanswered within me but somehow, I was so focused on the passion burning within me to lend my little voice to the youth who was our targeted audience? I had somewhat ifs? On my mind. Then, as an undergraduate, we had days we travelled to states for strategic meetings to plan for the world changers events, I didn’t recognize the impact of that investment we were making on ourselves and others.

One of the days while we went for this strategic meeting in Enugu on my way to Anambra, I met a lady who as a result of our interaction and discussion in the car told me “Charity, thanks for coming into my life at this stage and helping me to see a beam of hope again”

I had every reason to relent when we had the burden for this movement and one of it was “the what if voice” but we all ignored it and our focus was on the vision we had.

Look, you don’t know how many destinies are waiting for you to boldly step out to do that which God has set as a burden in your heart, Hey, you are a potential force to the generation looking up to you.

What if you prayed when you had the nudge to pray for that your friend? What if you wrote that book and faced that fear fearlessly, what if you implemented those goals you outlined for the year and so on.

By, doing so, you may not know how many lives your courage to step out boldly will help to shape.

It may not make sense when you begin this journey of daring and purpose fulfilment, but surely it would someday.

 Here is the lesson; your ability to ignore the voice of fear in you and find the courage to step out boldly may be one step to your generational relevance and impact to those destinies that are attached to yours.

Step out in the right direction today!

Do it, if you can’t, still do it afraid.

  This is what we get We know suffering like the back of our palms We know the smell of death better than our farms We know war in sick flesh We know it is in the agonizing screams of mothers and babes We know it is in the guns of soldiers that ever remain fresh Home is a divided populace of meaningless greed Home is pessimism Our fathers fill their bottomless cups with speed They keep pouring, cup after cup until their eyes form a prism This bizarre world do not motivate our mothers to chip in counsel Our families hang loose on the rope of half-light We are left to form roots lighter than parcel We remain buried in the dark, yet they call us children of light What are roots if they strangle you? Who are ancestors if all they do is worsen your narrative? Home at this point is a suspect Our beautiful eyes fear the world We shower them with tears to keep them from running away The fear in our hearts leave the future crooked And whenever we arrive we begin to mend it till we pass away...

THE CHAMPIONS SERIES 79 TOPIC: JUST BELIEVE

  "Our limitation in life is self-induced when God created us he never placed any limitation in our minds." What we see as limitations today are born from our fear, customs, traditions and popular opinions. If only you can believe enough to take a step in the direction of your dream, you can achieve more than you imagine.  The men and women that invented the gadgets and technological the equipment we use today had limitations all around them but they choose to see only possibilities.  Cast off any thought of impossibility and you'll that the obstacle is just a stepping stone to higher ground. Thomas Edison had a lot of reasons to quit believing that he could manufacture a light bulb, countries like America and others could have stopped trying to lunch rocket into the moon or explore space travel haven met with a lot of failures, but they didn't and today are successful in those areas.  Never! I mean never stop believing in yourself and in your dream....
