 Start Exploring Your Potential

Published

By: Sandra Nnemeka

I have always imagined going to high school, college; obtaining a degree, running a charity organization, writing fictitious interesting and inspiring stories for children; getting married to a man with great vision, having Godly children that will impact their world and make a difference.

I have also imagined making positive impact and contributions to the society, empowering young people and alleviating poverty by establishing a world class entrepreneurial center where people come to learn one skill or the other for self-reliance and dependence.

All these I imagine as a growing child. As an adult now, I have been able to lay foundation for all I ever imagined. I have accomplished some, investing in some and creating some, thereby fulfilling destiny.

And guess what? I have not stopped imaging.

I used to think there were fantasies until I started actualizing them gradually. In the Book ‘Think and Grow Rich’ by Napoleon Hill, he says, “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe it can achieve”. How true it is! Whatever that was created or invented was imagined.

Can I tell you something in confidence? ….God did not finish creation, and you have all it takes to create. Awaken the giant in you and explore your potentials. Do not be boxed or conformed in one area of your life. You can go haywire in your imaginations, it’s free. Bask in it! Swim in it! Work on it and invest in it.

However, tenacity and passion are supreme in concerting your imagination into reality.

If you are passionate about your imaginations and consistent in your work in actualizing them, then you are just a step away from making History through Creation.

Imagination is the beginning of creation ~George Bernard Shaw.
