It is an exciting experience being a youth. This stage of life is filled with grandeur

dreams, activities, and fun and of course challenges. This time usually turns out to be

the most sensitive part of growth and maturity. As a young person, I found out that

every youth want some form of bliss as regards their pursuits and purpose and most

of the time are stuck in between knowing what to do about attaining this bliss and

making the most use of the time to achieve significant things.

This little piece might not be that detailed but can sure play a role in understanding steps to take when dreaming as a youth. Check it out.

There is a supreme being that can better help you understand your

being and why you matter to other beings. He unfolds the treasure in

you without making you feel the pressure. He opens your eyes to take

a good glimpse of your significance in tomorrow today. For a life that is

worth living, He deserves a first consult and this you must do if you

want to be true to yourself and the world. Find Him, He will grant you

spiritual intelligence.

The beginning of the journey must start with all you need. The Idea is that

God equips you with all you need to start. Lets find out…Here…You

connect with purpose, you do what you love, you got the right attitude, you

develop your skills, you get knowledge and you set great and achievable goals

maybe SMART goals, oh yeah real SMART GOALS…you must do this. You get

hold of your Strengths, Your Weaknesses, Your Opportunities and Your

Threats….You are really going to be on track because it sets you on the path of

discovery

yourself, your passion, your dream, your God, your terrain,

your skills, your actions, what you do etc. Lack of understanding can perish

anyone within a second. As a youth, you have got to spend time understanding

who you are and everything that makes you who you are. Just like they say,

discovery is the mother of recovery, you must discover everything about

yourself; practice for 10, 000 hours to make you an expert in the things you do.

Ability to understand it all gives you the capacity to envision great things and

gaining the confidence to make them happen. Understanding enables you to

have wisdom to live beyond what is and what is not.

Understand It All –

in steps, choices, thoughts (compartmentalize). Don't get

crowded with your intentions less you will find yourself in the midst of

confusion. Plan your life by setting real goals and break them down into

do-able tasks so that your excesses can be accommodated and your single-

mindedness can be controlled. So, learn to take one step at a time; do one

thing at a time; Make one commitment at a time.

Understand that life is only complicated when we invite complexity into it.

As such, we should learn to apply the lens principle which only focuses on

one object at a time.

Protect your heart from failing…this

can make you fall… avoid the

temptations, the distractions, the compromises, the

strong forces, the emotions… emotional intelligence must become

your watch word to scale

through.

Learn to overcome challenges from inside. When you

fail, point your middle finger on your chest where the heartbeat is, you will

realize it beats faster…what that means is to move faster than the time of its

occurrence by first looking inward at what caused it…move, move, move…

activate your recovery mode, draw strength from within, maintain a balance on

the outside, the faster you move the quicker you catch up with a solution as no

condition has the right to be permanent in your life. The rate of change outside is

equals to the rate of change inside. Let your life be YOU..let it reflect purpose,

strength… be strong mentally, socially, emotionally, physically, financially,

academically, spiritually…always draw strength from within…let the three (body,

soul and spirit)interweave and make you function with the power of one…you

will be so unbeatable, indomitable.

Be Strong, Be Balanced –

Expand your horizon, take responsibility for your own growth, your own

actions. let your heart reach out, live today as if you can't see tomorrow

coming. Will out your passion to leadership, it is usually done with love,

that way you learn to live from the eyes of legacy…an iota of it will never

be left out because legacy carry with it a life of it own.

Learn, Love, Lead and Live –

Change is a way of life, we innovate through insight to activate it.

Embrace change, caress it, kiss it, hold it, remold it, pass it on. It is not

meant to be stagnant but vibrant as our future; our life depends on this

indestructible atom called change, but innovation keeps it alive…that is

its energy, its fuel. So, if you innovate, you create a process that leads to

change…it is usually priceless, demanded and wanted…you simply

become a champion, you get the highest reward for it. Won't you start

innovating now? Activate your sixth sense, innovate your skill sense,

celebrate your essence.

Innovate at all times –

Increase your worth because they say your network determines your net

worth, create self value, connect with real people, speak their desires, get into

their minds, their lives and fulfill their dreams, help them live their passion.

Dress to win, do not dress to kill…express style, don't overhaul it. Express a

positive outlook on life. What you can do, what you can offer is what people

are after, give it a name, attach a value, place a price tag in all fairness, sell it,

sell it to as many people as you reach but it is not a tango neither is it a

competition as you can't fool all of the people all the time…just play the game

in the safest and fairest mode, catch fun, play, dance, crack jokes, say I AM

SORRY, say please, say excuse me for a moment, share a drink, make a toast, do

business, learn, support, reciprocate respect and honor, show humility, talk

about it if you can, listen more…it's all going to make your life count to you and

someone out there when you socialize, synergize and step in the game…that

game is life…it means so much when we honestly live it that way too.

Socialize, Synergize and Step in the game –

Everything you achieve will make real sense and fulfilling when

you consider humanity by committing to the society. One thing

you will surely be forever remembered for – your service to

humanity. When you look out of your window, you will see who

to serve – some youth want to go to school but they got no

sponsor; some youth want to eat but they have no food; some

are sick but no drugs; some youth want to see a movie but got

no TV. The youth doctor can help the youth patient. The rich

youth can help the poor youth…all in the quest to help…

Consider the two sides of life The society calls for a country with

responsible youth who are driven by values and not what they

can eat now. Patriotism beckons on you as a viable YOUTH; will

you display your citizenship? That is an idea of what you can

feel and commit towards. Success is not the key to happiness

rather happiness is the key to success. If you love what you are

doing, you will think of the people, the country and the many

good you can make out of it. You can only be successful when

you serve with a heart as genuine as that of Fela Durotoye, Paul

Adefarasin, TY Bello and the likes.

Succeed through service –
