YOU CAN RE-WRITE YOUR STORY

                         YOU CAN RE-WRITE YOUR STORY
THE WORLD BELONGS TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BEAUTY OF THEIR DREAMS. ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

I woke up 2AM this morning to read and study as usual. In checking the time on my phone I noticed two text messages from my best friends- Nonso Smart Okafor and Emeka Okoye who sent me wonderful Birthday wishes and prayers. Then it dawned on me that today is my b/day. I said Happy B/day to myself and I thanked God for adding another year to my life.
I took time to relect on my life. How far I have achieved and lived my dreams and visions. No doubt I knew I have performed averagely. I took out my pen and paper to write the story of my life; my past and present; challenges and victories; trials and triumphs; tests and testimonies; my current lifestyle and standard of living etc. in conclusion I found out that I have not yet started living my dream; that my current story is not my desired story. I rejected it cos I knew my story. I knew my dreams. I knew what was written of me in the bible.
I brought out another paper and started writing my preferred story. I stated exactly how I want to live my life. I itemised my dreams and set a date for its actualisation. I reviewed my vision and set out how to fulfill it.
Now I  must strive to fulfill it cos I know that circumstances (however bad it maybe) does not and cannot stop the fulfilment of dreams. Dreams are conceived in the mind and heart. It can only die there. God also said to me in Jere 29 vs 11 “for I know the thoughts I think towards you; the thought of good and not evil to give me a future and a hope”.
Hi friends. I dont know your story today.
Is it in-ability to gain admission, difficulties in passing your courses and graduating, unemployment, low standard of living, lack of direction. No matter how bad your story is; you can re-write it. Take out time now to re-writre your story.
Write what you desire in life, state it out. Every morning, afternoon and night, bring it out, look at it and confess it. You can be your story.
I have done mine. I know for sure one day my story shall be told. My dream must be made real.
I so much believe Edwin Markham when he said “Ah great it is to believe the dream as we stand in youth by the starry stream; but a greater thing is to fight life through and say at the end’, THE DREAM IS TRUE.
Yes one day, we shall live to see our story and dream come true.
congratulations
