Build your Dreams- Edidiong

 Friday 29/06/2012 21:23:30

I hear you say everyday I don’t really no what to do; I don’t know what, that and this. Okay listen to me, you don’t want to be this.

I know of guy who wants to write a book, just a book at age of fifteen, but he never wrote a single line, procrastination is a thief of time and I heard of a man who was told he was going to die and because he wanted to live royalty behind for his wife he wrote five and half novel and to tell you he never died, The first guy is me and second guy,he was never a trained novelist and he wrote over seventy books. Let me tell you something you already know if you don’t build your dream someone else will hire you to build theirs.

Stop waiting, delay is dangerous, whatever you can do later you can do it now, it is just thought process, if you don’t plan your life someone else would plan it for you.

Let me tell something, I know very well every human don’t act well enough, they’re just like you and you like the rest of them, if one person get out of the box he becomes an hero, do you think heroes came out of space no they extra ordinary because they added extra to everything they did, I called them X-man.

I remembered a game I used to play ‘what is going on in that mind’ everyday after work on the street , I would begin by looking at people faces while walking home, so many unhappy faces, unfulfilled mind, despaired soul, pitiful faces, lost soul and angry people I would try to offer encouragement by trying to offer a little smile but none took time to even look at my face they’re just too busy lost in their mysteries but there’s always one hero who would just look back and wonder off thinking that guy is crazy, I use to say to myself I don’t want to be like those people.

There’s nothing less fatiguing like an unfinished job, most human being are just unfinished job even unto the grave, no wonder someone said the graveyard is the most fertile place cause it is actually a land filled with unfinished job, unrealised dreams, unaccomplished purpose. This is life, we all look at our life most often as tomorrow is still around the corner, young people makes the most of such mistakes, the more we sleep walk the more we misses life. Let me tell you If you can’t define your life now, it never gonna happen, now is the time not later. It can never happen to me but think about a lot of things that had happened to you that you never wanted life is filled with unwanted situations you just have to deal with it.

When I reminisce I noticed how life passed by unnoticed, days quickly into week, weeks into months, months into years and years into more years and before you know it your are regretting. May be you should begin immediately and start doing that thing that makes you happy, I know a few things that makes you happy, you love to design, just stop now and ask yourself what have I design that is truly mine, create one stupid thing now and keep it, if others pop into your mind create it and open a blog right away and called it mystupidcreations, then shared it with friends to tell you just how stupid it is, how is that for a trial, I also know you love fixing thing just find out how to fix those stubborn hardware problems and blog about how you fixed a simple issue, keep blogging and tell people see something simple I fixed.

I know you love singing too, sing two stupid line of songs and share it  with friends tell them how stupid you think it is but wait there you don’t want to sound stupid all the time just ask them if it is 

good, keep doing what you love and document them, don’t let a day pass by never again in your life without doing something for yourself, take stock of all you have ever done for people and ask yourself how many have you ever done for yourself, ask yourself how many times have I ever changed people life through instructing how many time have change your own life, even for a minute.

Make your moment count, henceforth be a world class achiever that’s what I told myself this year whatever I am going to be it has to be a world class, I don’t see myself as a Nigerian alone bt as a citizen of the world, I try as much to be just that.

If you think you are your young please you are just another pathetic liar like me, I was always young and still young but look at me now I am few years shy away from thirty, I thought I had all the time but see where I am now just a common man, so many dreams just slipped away, so many castle I had built in the air, though that’s where they are meant to be but I never gave them the right foundation.

Please be like be like them Farrah Gray, Cameron Johnson, Gurbaksh Chahal, Mark Zuckerberg,

Just look at the they’re living there dreams, while others have spent there whole life still wandering.

I have a clue what I am going to be and I am doing just but you have found you true purpose go out now and stand looking at different faces for five minutes, count ten and see if you want to be like them, if you don’t want to be like them, better act immediately if not one day a boy will come out and count you with others and won’t want to be like you.

Just look at how you are if you like every beat of it, smile but if you don’t you better be frank with yourself and change it immediately, if you don’t like where you are read this. 

Okay let me mimic you, see I don’t know what to do, I don’t know what my passion is, tell me how many times you have said that to yourself and even to me, and you haven’t found it all this while, I am sorry for you, if you have all the resources you have and still count find your sources for passion you will be sanctioned by life. Get up and make your life a masterpiece.

I am the master of my own life, my life is my decision, my decision determines my future, my future is today not tomorrow cause today is a macrocosm of your entire life, Steve chandler said in his audio book ‘today is your entirely in miniature’.

Before I would end my little epistle, let me leave you with the closing remark of Steve Job’s speech at Stanford Stay foolish Stay Hungry. This letter is actually written to my past when I was your age, Get wisdom, may your way be Wavy.

I am leaving you with this character I created for your Dream
