CHAPTER TEN
EPILOGUE
T
o say I am delighted by the success of this project would be a huge understatement. I have come to realize that life is exactly what we name it to be.
Nothing on earth can deter us nor truncate our journey without our express permission. I know who I am, what I worth and what I made for, I refuse to let life blows lock me down. I could have decided to trade purpose, completely forget who I am and only choose to live on someone else’s believe of who I am and not on what I am convinced I am, but NO I didn’t .
Life’s journey could be smoother and easier only if we have the right tool, and compass for every road. This book is a compass and I beseech you to use it as one, only then can you profit from it.
It is not too late to discover purpose and start living in it. Even if you are far above 30, this time is still your best time, it is the time that you woke up to the reality and hence it becomes your time.
Giving up has never handed anyone a medal. Only victors are rewarded, choose to fight and fight to win. Before you arrive 30, I want you to have devoured every piece of information in this book and your results are what I would be glad to see.
You are in your 30s, swiftly in your imaginations turn back the hands of time to make your present age the before 30 we have been talking about and see yourself scaling great heights.
You already found purpose? You are already building live around it? This is the best time to set a broad vision for that purpose and relentlessly follow it through. You should expect that a number of things might show up as distractions, please never lose sight on the purpose. Make it your anchor, guard it jealously while you daily fine-tune it for a clearer picture.
Finding purpose will reduce distractions because you already found a track. After I have successfully found purpose and I began to consciously work in it, numerous juicy offers came my way, some that requires me to live outside the shores of this nation for one whole year at no extra cost on me, but I understand that as good as these international offers are, they are not what I need at this moment of building.
If it were to be the days of confusion and blurry purpose, I would have gladly jumped at such offers with the purpose of enjoying free fellowship in coveted countries of the world, and maybe the push to go pride my latest achievement on social media to cynosure and “congratulatory messages” of friends could have propelled me to jump at such juicy offers. But NO, not when I am building structures that I have tested to be best built at my present location.
Don’t be afraid of taking baby steps, every great brands didn’t begin from the top, they all sat before they walked. If you don’t despise your days of little beginning, no one will have the luxury of doing that to you. Be your own number one cheerleader, even though no one is singing your praise now, keep at it; consistence is the word.
I remember someone always taunt me with this words ‘’When I die, I will smile to heaven because I have successfully achieve purpose and I have done what many of my peers couldn’t do at this age. You (referring to me), when you die, will you be happy, When you are not even sure of what to do with your life.”
I said it earlier in this book; nobody will claim responsibility for drawing you back, neither for stagnating you nor for causing you so much bitterness. To think this is someone I thought I was building with, someone who made me believe pulling different things won’t give speedy progress but pulling just one thing together guarantees success and peace. Someone I was ready to totally drop purpose for and wholly glean to accomplishing his, the sake of whom I almost turn my back at every other person who wished me well, makes it even more devastating. The beauty of it all is that many of us won’t find purpose on a platter of gold, many would find purpose through pain and I represent one of that population.
Dear lady, own your life. Love but never be gullible. Strive for relevance even as you help others build. Never lose you.
I pray that the peace of God that passes all understanding be with you on your journey to purpose.
Let me leave you with this
Wide Open
by
Dawna Markova
I will not die an unlived life
I will not live in fear of failing or catching fire.
I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living open me,
To make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise.
I choose to risk my significance; to live so that which came to me as seed goes to the next as blossom, and that which comes to me as blossom, goes on as fruit.
