They will say you are unrealistic. They will say you are young and one of these days, hunger will wake you up to the hash realities of life and you will soon forget your hallucinations of ‘big dreams’. They will associate pride with your ambitious spirit. Let them.

Dogs are barking. Throw no stone. Continue your journey.

This is warfare. The enemy isn’t your critics nor those who don’t believe in you.

Laziness. Procrastination. Poor work attitude. The warmth of the old cage of your old self not willing to adopt new habits that will transform your life. These are the enemies.

Look around you. Look at the poor roads that when tarred, can economically transform communities for the better. Look at the children growing up in broken homes who need someone to look up to, someone to inspire them and coach them to develop  their potential and grow to be the gifts that they were sent to be to the world.

Look around and look again. Look inside you. No government will do this.

Instead of toiletries as donation to an orphanage, how about a tarred road network linking communities, linking nations, as gift from you. No government.

Look at your work attitude. Does it resemble someone who can grow that big and become such an asset to the world?

Change. Change now. Change today. A wardrobe of car keys – Bugatti, Ferrari, Pagani Huayra, Bentley Bacalar… Magnificent buildings of extraordinary size. Unquantifiable net worth…They are not beyond you.

A simple family with kids in a decent home, with a decent job. Not bad a wish. But why squeeze your life into a bottle and hang it on a shelf when it’s meant to be as big and as bright as the sun, giving hope to millions; hope of what God can do with a little faith, hard work, determination and a resilient spirit.

This mess, your confusion, discouraged spirit…gather them and hand it all to the Almighty; it is the kind of paint that Great Artist needs to paint sense out of your meaningless life and paint a beautiful story out of ashes.

Artist and a Warrior. God. Don’t be surprised He likes to give His kids tough training. That old Soldier.

So my friend, stay strong. Father is giving the same tough training to His kids all over the world.

And don’t forget I told you this:  the audacity to create legacies beyond imagination lies in your attitude, your work ethics and habits.
