Breaking Barriers |
 Please, don’t die now! by George ‘GBENGA OLOWOYE
GEORGE, an
executive business Coach, author and speaker lives in Arusha. Make your next
conference, Does it seem as if you are going round in circle right now and feel expired and irrelevant? You badly want to change that situation while the original intention of your Creator is for that situation to change you. How about that? Your tendency to quit is so high because you’re not getting the attention and the accolades you wanted so much and so instantly. Please, don’t quit so soon. You need the gentle voice of discretion and discernment to make you stay focused on what you’re doing right now even when it seems as if you are going in circles. Your payday is nearer than you anticipate and giving up now is like committing “dream suicide.” Please, don’t do it. You know, many people actually die at age 17 and only get buried at age 70. Why? They were living corpses who missed their turn to ACHIEVE. They were only occupying valuable space in time calendar and drifted away from the original plans of God for their lives. They allowed tradition over the divine purposes crafted for their existence and so died many years before their time. Are you flexible enough to change? It’s important to recognize when the time for change has arrived. You may need to either slow down or speed up as the case might be. But doing the right thing at the wrong time will kill your dream. So, it’s important for you to know the desirable moment to make a shift in your careers, attitudes, relationships, thinking patterns and paradigms. Yes, no one of us has any idea how long we have to live but one certainty is that we are never going to live forever. Isn’t that the reason why we shouldn’t procrastinate on things we intend to deliver? Many of us silently crave to live life to the fullest and die with the satisfaction that we gave all we could but we postpone the things that, deep down, we know we want to do – telling our loved ones how much we care, spending adequate time in self-discovery, climbing Kilimanjaro or running a marathon, sending that crucial email or writing a heartfelt letter or visiting a good friend in a far away country, becoming a better father or mother, giving up our anger, envy or jealousy and on and on. Most of the time we try to justify our actions with one excuse after another, and end up spending most of our God-given, precious time and resources doing things that aren’t very profitable or important. We never can stop to argue for our limitations, and they become for us the limits and barriers of mediocre living. I felt appropriate to end here by asking you not to die now even though it’s not really in your power, until you pursue and achieve some of your excellence. I dare you to succeed by living your life to your highest potential and die empty knowing that you gave your all. Treasure your life, friends and live it to the fullest before you die. Amen.
