PREPARE YOUR FUTURE

 “You present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they only determine where you start”.

Sometime ago, a man was to sail across the sea into another city; suddenly as he started his voyage, a mighty lap of water threatened to capsized his boat; immediately, he got tensed and frightened due to the level of shocks from the waves; as such, he opted for a quit by choosing to abort his trip across the shores.

Obstacles are part of life; they are the most interesting things that make life special. And they are the best and most nutritional ingredients that make success really rich. Do not look down on yourself, neither the point at which you are starting from; rather, look ahead of your immediate environment and circumstances, and figure out better ways to get the best out of them. Giuseppe Garibaldi said; “A bold onset is half the battle”.

Abraham Lincoln said; “I will prepare and some day my chance will come”. To do anything great in this world, you must be prepared; and to become anything greater, you must act rightly. Determination drives the ready mind, but passion brings the dream closer to you. Pay the price of learning to prepare yourself for the future, you can overcome the present. Samuel Taylor Coleridge said; “He who is best prepared can best serve his moment of inspiration”.

Any man whoever is set out for victory shouldn’t look back on his pasts; And if you must break forth, you must never think twice or have a second thought; rather, have your mind made up, to wage war against all storms of life. The battle is neither for the weak, nor the prizes for the opportunities squanderers, but for those who make judicious use of their time and brains in preparing for the battles ahead. Samuel Johnson said; “Exert your talents and distinguish yourself, and don’t think of retiring from the world, until the world will be sorry that you retire”.

       According to Robert H. Schuller; “Spectacular achievement is always preceded by unspectacular preparation”. You must never have to look back due to faint-mindedness whenever you are on a mission to make a positive impact. Looking back is a distraction; it sets you backward and kills your dreams before you embark on them. You are required to envisage a brighter future, characterized by greater contributions to the world at large. Juma Ikangaa said; “The will to win is nothing without the will to prepare”.
