Just Run Your Own Race…
Every point made last week is geared around the fact that money, fame, power and all other things people desperately long for, will not bring about fulfillment in life, in the absence of self discovery. This is because you have to run your own race to earn ‘the prize’. The prize here is fulfillment, inner peace, satisfaction; the kind that will gradually flow to the one who has discovered self. This is where true success comes in. Why do you think some are drunk in wealth, yet thirsty of wealth. If only money brings joy, the richest will be the happiest in the world. Leave the trend! Quit chasing the paper-money. Simply find the hue in you and every other thing will blend. See, you may not need papers to colour, cause life is made up of so many options, but you sure need colours to paint and draw out the future you desire. At this stage, you don’t just make wealth; you become them. Nothing brings fulfilment like living your purpose. You can’t eat crumbs when you are the cake; cause cakes don’t live crumbs they leave them. Being a solution provider, a world changer- This is God’s plan for you- Step into it! He’s your manufacturer; seek for HIS guidance and act on it. A wise man once said “Life is not just about making a living, it is more vital to live your making”. Self discovery is the key to unlocking the closed doors life poses at us as obstacles.
Purpose! Yes! That’s the word!! Self discovery is finding your purpose here on earth. As earlier stated, you are not born empty! The manufacturer deposits contents in a product for its usefulness. We are all the products of creation. Our creator deposited something unique within each of us. These deposits are the answers to the many unanswered questions in our world today. In other words, nobody is useless. The only difference between those who live and those who merely exist is self discovery.
So?
Dig deep to find you. You’re priceless. Like gold you can’t easily be found on the ‘surface’; so you have to search deeply within to find the real you.
However, note this- You ain’t gold. Gold isn’t even close to who you are; it’s just a minute cue to the hue in you. You are PRICELESS. Go DISCOVER YOU!
What gives you joy unspeakable? What gives you satisfaction? What do you do with ease in peace? Fine, anything can give you happiness but what gives you fulfillment?
The Stranger The Better!
It may not be something popular. The more unpopular, the better! The world is filled with so many popular things. A lot of people are busy running within the usual circles. Life is too short too keep chasing other people’s dreams; running on a spot. Sure! Collaboration is allowed cause we all need each other but that doesn’t negate the fact that we all as individuals have our race to run. Almost everyone wants to follow the usual trend, rendering their individual gifts decayed. We have to understand that the ‘in thing’ may not always bring you out, because it’s already clogged up by many.
Never be scared to ‘bring it on’. when you discover that what lies within you appear strange or unpopular, get excited! Cause the world isn’t in need of what she has already, but what she doesn’t. The world is desperately in need of the seeds to the fruit it lacks. You’ll definitely thrive within the boundaries of your uniqueness
Bill Newman rightly said “Get excited about life- Live life with a passion. Learn to live life to the full, savouring every moment. People without passion have no real zeal for living. They’re only a dormant force. Living an exciting passionate life fuels the fire , the desire and the dynamic motivation behind every worthwhile purpose. You’ve got to learn to avoid worrying; so climb mountains, walk more sunsets, cry when someone touches your heart and learn to laugh”.

There’s no doubt that in a world filled with so many ups and downs, living an idle life is a huge risk. To this end, daily we find men and women hustling, struggling and trying every possible means to make ends meet.
Some become extremely successful, others remain on the struggling level while a few just stay in between; living life as it comes. In all, the world is left with so many people living unfulfilled lives; following the usual trend of being born, being employed, bearing children, paying bills and all that relates to this circle.
Hey! There’s More To Life.
It’s high time we realised that there is more to life than all these. No one is born empty, everyone has something peculiar wrapped as gifts within. We all have treasures deposited in each and everyone of us by the uncreated Creator. This is the reason most times in life, the true answers to the questions life throw at us comes from within.
The Bugging Questions.
Having established the truth of knowing we’re all created with something unique, to enable us fulfil destiny in a grand style; why do we still find a handful of people living a fulfilled life while majority remain like lost balls in the high weeds? Why do we find so many people who look, but very few people who see? All these simply connotes that it’s not enough to be endowed with gifts/potentials; for what’s the use of having innate treasures without knowing you have them? Or knowing you have them but not knowing what exactly they are.
Know This!
It is paramount we understand that there are factors which distinguish those who live a fulfilled life and those who simply exit; having an inexplicable gap unfilled within. Amongst all the underlying factors, self discovery tops the list.
It’s so sad that we find people searching for jobs, searching for the money, searching for ‘this and that’ when all these things lie within. Hmmm? Yeah! A lot of these people never find these things and even when they do, they still remain unfulfilled because it’s an error for the lost to find the lost. You need to discover you, before you can easily pay dues in a world that is losing its hue. You need to be found to find, and the only person who can truly find you is you. This is the reason even when an individual who has not discovered himself/herself finds a job, he/she still lives a life void of fulfillment. Why do you think some rich individuals still live in depression? We still hear of true life stories, where billionaires commit suicide.
Here’s The Thing
Life is a journey with so many stumbling blocks , it takes an individual with self discovery to scale through. In this journey of life, there are so many muddy roads leading to various indirect directions. living a life void of self discovery is the beginning of suicide! Our lives are made up of the various steps we take via our actions and reactions; an accumulation of a purpose driven step is what brings about fulfillment in life.
Self discovery can be likened to a tunnnel. Remember the wise saying ‘there is light at the end of the tunnel’. At the end of this self discovery tunnel lies a light; it is this light that will see you through the thick darkness which surrounds the globe. Also note that searching comes before discovery, so? you need to discover your drive inside to thrive outside. Self discovery is what gives life its true meaning.

All these can only be cooked when your goals are boiled down to self discovery, under the heat of passion.
Aren’t you tired of the usuals?
Are you ready to-
Seat, think and tie your goals together, for the sake of what you’re
made for
Or you still want to run in the circles.
Eat, drink and die with all you have within, at the stake of what
You’re made of

The choice is yours! It’s either you choose the first three options or
the last three options will choose you!

Hey! You’re too loaded to accept laxity as an alternative.

It’s a new week; a new working day.
Start today! Discover what you are made for
Run your race & Remain on track!
