As I write this post, I’m in a taxi in Nasarawa. We’ve been journeying together with a few colleagues from Jos, heading towards Abuja. It’s almost 8pm and I’m 2 days behind my normal plans. I’ve had two cancelled flights by two different airlines in two days. The pot seems black, but I have learnt from time, that the white corn jelly [eko funfun] usually proceeds from the black pot of life.

Wherever, however, whenever, great things come from small, hopeless or ugly beginnings. In the midst of it all, I’m getting cozy with my blackberry and, I have a message for you!

From where you are today, however low, you can make it to anywhere in life you want to be. Think about your life right now, evaluate your current dimensions – spirit, soul and body. Evaluate the metrics that are equated to life – time and money. Wherever you are today, you can rise to anywhere you desire. Anywhere.

A dollar note today can be a million in time (compound interest) . A mere impressionless lecturer today can be president in time (Goodluck). A poor village boy today can be the pacesetter of tomorrows economy. A victimized job seeker today can be on his interviewers interview panel in time. A debtor today can be a venture capitalist tomorrow. You can get to wherever you desire from where you are today.

Never let the poor weather of today, cloud the possibilities of tomorrow. Never allow the failures of the past alter your resolve for the future. Say it aloud to yourself often – I can get where I want from here.

Yes you can! All you need is a desire strong enough, a dream that’s graphic, models to follow and unstoppable perseverance.

You will get there, even from where you are.

    Its a function of the mind. The Conscious Mind is the General that Commands the invincible Army – the Subconscious Mind. If one can put them to work, it will definitely manifest no matter who you are, where you are, even your background is not a limiting factor etc.
