How much are you willing to sacrifice to get what you want? This is the ultimate question because the more you are willing to pay the price the more your chances of getting what you want. I am not talking about the price for goods here but the greatest price you pay for your dreams. Dreams don't come cheap. No big dream ever just happens, great men and women defied the odds to achieve their dreams. You cannot change the world with small dreams; big and audacious dreams pave people's ways to the history books as world changers.
The truth is you must know what is worth your sacrifice; you don't want to waste yourself on useless endeavors that are not going to make any significance in the world or bring you any satisfaction. We have enough of those already and we don't need more from you as well. You must have that one big, bold and audacious dream that you can pour yourself all out into. It must entice you, appeal to you, intimately resonate with the innermost chambers of your soul and propel you into action. Otherwise, it is not going to stretch your imagination at all and it is not worth your sacrifice. Cut your losses and look for that one elusive world changer.
What made guys like Steve Jobs and Bill Gates drop out of college? The similarity in these guys is that all of a sudden they did not see the sacrifice of going to college worth their returns and they did not see college repaying them the way they would have liked. Something else emerged as urgent to them and they were big, audacious. I mean they were potential world changers at the time and we are the witnesses of the fact that they have indeed lived up to those potentials. And these are changing the landscape of technology and computers.Surely you know about Apple and Microsoft Corporation now. They knew what they wanted, sacrificed for it and needless to say they got it.
There are a lot of such great men and women who completely galvanized and transformed this world. They simply found something worth their price. You cannot continue doing something that is tasking you, stressing you out and bringing you nothing but frustrations. The sooner you realize it is not worth the price the sooner you would release your mind to birth those big dreams that are worth your price.
There is only one thing you are brought here to pay the price for and until you figure that out, you will always waste your efforts and energy on things that are not worth it. Until you have one thing that consumes all your potentials, you will always divert your potentials and get half-baked rewards in return. It is time to focus all your energy on one big audacious dream and you will realize the power of your efforts because power is simply energy/efforts directed into one thing.
I am reminded of some of the Master's protégés (John and James) who wanted to solicit for positions without paying the price. Their mother asked for them to sit at the side of Jesus in Heaven. The Master responded overwhelmingly, He said, "You don't know what you are asking," Jesus said to them. "Can you drink the cup I am going to drink?" The question was about the price, "Can you pay the price that I am going to pay?" Many are just after good positions but are not aware of the price attached to those good positions.
He knew the price that He was going to pay and He was ready to even die on the cross for His purpose. He found something big to die and pay the price for. It was worth all the sacrifice in the world. There has not been someone like Him who revolutionized the world the way He did. He died for what He believed in and that was to free humans. What are you prepared to die for?
We need your potential, we need the greatness in you, this world still lacks so many riches and some of them are only in you. You may not be aware yet but you are the change you want to see in this world.
Are you committed to the course of your dreams? Are you willing to back it up with the plan of action? You don't need to be great and all famous to start but you need to start to be great. You can start wherever you are, at whatever stage you are in.
As long as you can still dream,you have a shot at living your life in an amazing way and impacting the world in the only way you can. It's people who move from dreamland to action land that change the world. Please join their elite club, it's a winning team guaranteed! Fight for the dreams you are entrusted with, you are the only one who can give them life, don't die with them please.
Be obsessed with seeing your potential being realized and not contributing to the wealth of the cemetery. Within you is the greatest wealth that this world has yet to see.
Don't delay your dreams I am sure you have delayed for too long now, there is no time to waste anymore.
Have a fruitful month!
