YES YOU CAN

Just one thing separates you from your goal, and that one thing is YOU. Sometimes in life, we feel its there whilst in the actual sense its here. They always say what separates here and there is just the letter ‘t’ and what distinguishes an eaglet from an eagle is the letter ‘t’ too: that ‘t’ representing time. It only takes time for one to achieve. To achieve, you first have to believe. Theodore Roosevelt said, “Believe you can, and you’re halfway there” and that’s just how things are. The only hindrance you can have is you. In your life, you run things, you dictate the pace, you make things happen, you control everything, you take charge of situations, you adapt to prevailing conditions. Since its your life, what stops you from reaching there even when you’re here, and what stops you from soaring like an eagle despite the fact you’re an eaglet. You don’t wait for the time come, you make the time come! Don’t wait for it to happen, my brother & my sister, make it happen!! Achieving is an offshoot of believing. Barack Obama didn’t back down on his dream of becoming the American President because he was black, in fact I suppose that even made him more determined to get to that seat. Believe me, you can do anything you want to as long as you don’t stop believing when it is meant to be it will be, you just have to follow you heart.
Yes, you can! Who said you can’t? Who said you can’t achieve that? Who said you can’t become that? Who said you can’t get there? Who said? Who said? Nobody said, You said. Whatever you must have said must stand. Say you can, and you would see yourself doing. Say you can’t, and you would see yourself not doing. Give it a shot, your best shot. Don’t let anyone make you feel you can’t, but rather make them know you can. In primary school, they’ll always ask us to sing this: I can do it, I can do it, if I set my mind to do it. Only now did I know what that song means. You can, just set your mind to do it whatever it may be. What separates you from that goal, aim, ambition, mission is YOU, remove you from the picture and its staring at you right into your face waiting to be grasped.
Work hard for what you want because it won’t come to you without a fight. You have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything you put your mind to. If somebody puts you down or criticizes you, just keep on believing in yourself and turn it into something positive. My very good friend, Joe would always say, “Just Try and Stay Positive”
