WHERE ARE YOU HEADED?
Hello everyone, first all let me tell you that I am certain
that you will not board a bus, a train or a plane if you don’t know where it is
going!
It is very important for us all to have a destination, and
to know where our destination is. A few times in life, I have interacted with
people (young people and middle aged) and I am surprised at how uninformed some
of them are as regards where they are headed in life, as regards what they want
to do with their lives, and as regards who
they want to become.
Folks, you need to know where you are heading in life,
because when you know where you are heading to; you will tailor your movement
and your plans towards only that direction. It is when you don’t know where you
are headed that you will end up being tossed to and fro and carried around by
every wind of opinion and suggestion. Let me give an example that readily comes
to mind; in my undergraduate days, there was a day I had plans to go to the
library after lectures, then my home boy comes around after class and tells me
that we should get to the H.O.D’s office together, he has some issues to
resolve there, and afterwards, he wants to pick something at the Engineering
workshop, so we’ll go together again. But guess what guys? I told him No, I
told him No because I already had my own plans, I was going to the library
immediately after class; I knew where I was heading to. But assuming I had no
plans of my own before then, I will sure follow him to wherever it was he
wanted to go to. So it is important you have a clear cut direction as regards
your life, as regards who you want to become, because this will guide you to
only do the things that will move you in the direction of where you are going.
If you know why you are here and what you have come to do, then automatically
you will know what you have not come to do.
What is your mission in life, why are you here? It was
Bishop T.D Jakes who said; if you don’t understand what your mission is in life
you can end up trapped anywhere. I always say that if you don’t have a sense of
direction, and you don’t have a specific place you’re heading to, anywhere you
find yourself will be just fine with you. You need to know where you are
heading to; 10 years from now, 15 years from now, who will you be, where will
you be? Will you be a Professor, will you be a Doctor, or will you be a Nobody?
Where are you heading, in the next 10 years, will you be a graduate, will you
be an Author, will you be a chartered accountant, will you be the M.D of your
own company, or will you be a Mr Nobody?
It is important you know where you are heading to in life,
this will guide your day to day living, your day to day activities, and your
day to day decision making process. An athlete who is preparing for an Olympic
event, and is going there not just to participate but to win medals will only
engage in activities that will make his dreams come true. He will pay attention
to every detail of his exercises and of his diet, because he knows where he is
heading? While me and you can sit in the comfort of our homes watching TV, legs
crossed and taking chicken and chips, with a glass of milk, he dare not do
that, he will be sweating it out in a gym, or on the tracks, and he’ll watch
his diet.
Dear friend, this is the way of life; successful
entrepreneurs and super successful business men that we see around today
already paid their price.. They had a vision for their lives from way back,
they knew what they were up to, they had a clear picture of where they are
heading to, and they did not get carried away with frivolities.
So also, it’s on us to do what we have to do!
