The past month has been a revelation to me. It opened up the power of belief in so many ways that I have never experienced before. There were days of absolute failure and days of complete self doubt. Then there were days of elated successes, eureka moments and of course the days of mixed results. But what has transpired taught me the power of believing in myself.

Over the course of life, you make mistakes. After a series of mistakes, many will ask you to play it safe. I listened and must say it had helped in many ways. Their words though initially demoralized me have served to make me think before jumping into stuff and have taught me how to say ‘no’ to many things.

But what happens is that slowly you start believing that you are are not capable anymore. I thought that the fact that nobody understands my vision let alone share it shows that maybe my ideas are too crazy and improbable. This thought has cost me valuable time in my path to my dreams.

After celebrating my 25th birthday, I occurred to me that it was the case with me had had to make a hard decision to break free from it. I had to break away from a number of things including some that were very close to my heart to set me free from my circle of doubt.

The results were almost immediate, the renewed power of action given to me by my belief gave great results and generated so many ideas that replaced the space doubt used to hold.

It is still stormy and light is hard to see. But i believe that I will make it through. See you all on the other side.

We Meet & Then We Part

On most days, it is all all good as the mind has enough creative juice to keep moving forward. But sometimes, particularly after the attainment of an objective, the lack of the presence  of the ones on the wayside becomes painfully obvious.

In the quest for greatness, what defines you? What that you have done or whom you have loved? Is it the legacy you leave behind or the memories you have to cherish?

I think for most it is a choice and so it is for me. I think that to live for a legacy is most noble, provided the legacy is one that has benefited humanity and has in some way made the world a better place.

To know that you have done your best and have tried to be more than the sum of your parts is a life lived well. To know that you did it for something bigger than yourself is an amazing life lived well.
