Are You Doing What You Were Born To Do?

dami — Thu, 11 Mar 2010 13:37:33 +0000

February went by so fast.

I guess it was because I had so much to do.

At the beginning of the month, I had my to-do list.

At the end of the month, I had ticked off almost everything on that list.

That gladdened my heart.

I was in Badagry once.

Abia state on two ocassions.

Different parts of Lagos every week…meetings…seminars…conferences…

What was I doing?

Great question!

I was doing what I was born to do…empower my generation to be all that God wants us to be.

I was preaching…teaching…speaking…training…facilitating meetings…writing…granting interviews…sharing what I know…what I have learned over the years.

Life’s greatest joy lies in our contribution to other lives.

It feels great to make a difference for good.

Are you making a difference in someone’s life?

Just like February, March is flying by so fast.

Before you know it, it’s going to be April, then May…June…July…September…December…2011…

Phew!

What’s my point?

“There’s no time.”

Well, there is time but there’s no time to waste.

I believe that we have enough time for what we NEED to do but we don’t have enough time to do all that we WANT to do.

We have enough time for what we were born to do but we don’t have enough time for all we wish to do.

Everyday, different things and people are contending for your attention…fighting for your time.

So what are you going to do?

You can’t attend to everything or even everyone.

You have to make the right choices.

That’s the struggle I face everyday.

I bet you have a similar experience.

Whatever you do, do what you were born to do or it would have been better if you were never born.

Ouch…

P.S: It’s my birthday this month and I have some special offers for you.Stay Tuned.

After almost 80 days of our president in absentia and our Nation in limbo, it was so refreshing to hear that Jonathan Goodluck is now the Acting President.

It feels so good to know that the driver’s seat of this vehicle called Nigeria is no longer empty.

No doubt.The skeptics have a lot to say.They always do.

What do you expect critics to do?

Criticise of course!

That’s why they are critics anyway.

Regardless of what the critics say, this is a step in the right direction.

It’s a sign that there’s still hope for our Nation.

It’s a sign that things can still work.

It’s a sign that there’s a silver lining on the dark cloud that has hitherto pervaded our socio-political clime.

We have complained for too long.Now let us take a turn.

I encourage you to pray for Mr.Jonathan Goodluck.

He needs divine wisdom and direction.Let us pray that he will find it easy to do God’s will for Nigeria while he is in that office.Let us pray for peace and prosperity.Let us also pray that his successor will build on his success.

Things have been rough for many people in our Nation but I feel the change in the atmosphere.

Let us also thank God for all those who were part of the

“ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!” rallies, Dr.(Mrs) Dora Akunyili, Prof. Wole Soyinka and all the pressure groups that refused to keep quiet.

Nigeria’s best is yet to come.

I have been here, there but not everywhere…

They say “A rolling stone gathers no moss” but I have also come to realise that you can never actuallise your potential if you stay in one place.

Don’t misunderstand what I’m saying.

I believe in the power of focus.

It is undoubtedly one of the keys to success.

What I am saying is that sometimes you have to move around if you don’t want to be bound.

I thought I would have time to recuperate after the SPEAK WITH POWER seminar but I had to travel to Ibadan soon after for my sister’s induction in Ibadan.

I stayed over to share birthday greetings with my mum and “gist” with my beloved grandmother.

I got back to Lagos and had a series of meetings in Badagry.

Through it all, I thank God for Journey mercies and the opportunity to be a blessing to my generation.

P.S: Watch out for pictures from the seminar.

Happy New Month.

January went by so fast.

Hmmm…I wonder how it was for you.

For me, it was very productive.

I have been able to re-integrate into society after three months of being sequestered in the TALK ACADEMY.

I was also able to create my schedule for this year.

To cap it all, I hosted my first seminar, SPEAK WITH POWER on saturday, January 30.That was a blast.I’d tell you about it over the next couple of days.

I am looking forward to greater results this month.

I believe you are too.

I wish you a productive and prosperous february.

May God grant you great wisdom and favour.

May God open doors for you.

May God open His good treasure to you.
