Discover yourself, do not settle for mediocrity

    It kills me every time when I look around and see people that do not have drive,  focus,  no sense of purpose or ambition.  They are just content with passing through life like they never existed,  they just wanna lead mediocre lives. They have no idea why they are how they are,  why they are who they are or what is the God's given purpose for their lives.  These kind of people belong 'the living not existing class '. 'Do you belong to this class?' .
    There is a purpose for every life because if there wasn't,  such person won't be here anyways. But  surprising as it is, a lot of people have passed through this Earth without fulfilling those purposes and as a result,  they lived but never existed . Everyone has unique qualities and characteristics which sets them apart from the rest. These unique qualities are really meant to be a blessing to you and the world around you, the world needs You.
  To get out of this 'living and not existing group ', you will need to do these:
1. Develop the mentality of ' I do matter ': This is the very first step,  you have to realize that you're special,  unique and there can't ever be another you.
2. Develop a sense of purpose:  This comes with self discovery and self realization.  At this stage,  you have to be in the know of your innate qualities. This stems from discovering what you think is fun and many others think It's work,  never make the mistake of dismissing your talents as irrelevant because the world is in desperate need of it , it could really be anything; singing, dancing, drawing, public speaking, the list is endless. The next step is to set about developing them and trying to harness them into being a tool for making your life and the people around you better.
3. Be ambitious:  have you ever wondered why some people are up there while others are well, down there? The main difference between these two divides is AMBITION.  You have to know what you want out of life and make strategic,  step by step plans on how to get there.  Never settle for mediocrity. 'Blessed are those who know what they want out of life and are making plans to get there for their's is a lifetime at the top' - Solomon N. Akinsola
4. Surround yourself with positive people who can help make those dreams of yours a reality.
