DON’T SET SAIL!

‘Don’t set sail using someone else’s star’

Have you ever gazed at the sky at night to appreciate the beauty and awesomeness of nature? Have you ever taken your time to observe the moon, the stars and the artistic patterns in the sky? Oh, you can try it tonight.

There are billions of stars in the sky just as we have human beings on earth. On a spiritual note, it may be rational for us to conclude that every man on earth has a unique star represented in the sky. On a more spiritual note, you will observe that each star in the sky is unique; some sparkle, some glitter, some few ones are amazingly illuminating while many of them are just there.

If you are not self-conscious, it may be very difficult for you to discover your star amidst other stars because they are just too many and complex to understand. Once you have failed to locate or identify your star, you may be tempted to be wandering in the world of other stars.

It is always good for you to identify and understand yourself before relating with other people. In most cases, when we try to imitate others, we end up limiting our potentials for greatness. If you fail to discover, understand and develop yourself and become responsible for the things you do, you empower other people and circumstances to shape your life by default. So, begin everyday of your life with the blueprint of your deepest values firmly in mind. When challenges come in life, make decisions based on those values.

Nigeria can never become America; Jonathan Goodluck can never become Barrack Obama, Sammuel Eto can never become Lionel Messi, D’banj can’t become Kanye West,  Harvey Goldie can’t become Beyonce Knowles, Aliko Dangote can never become Bill Gates...there can only be a better Nigeria, America, Goodluck, Obama, Eto, Messi, etc.

As from today, start seeing yourself as a star which is created to fulfil a divine purpose on earth. Improve on yourself everyday and learn from others but don’t try to be like them. Remember, each star you see in the sky is as big (if not bigger than the world itself) as the world. So, you are a world of yourself; never set sail using someone else’s star.
