Sometimes in life, we look outside too much. We look at other people’s success, other people’s life, and we begin to think that we don't get that kind talent or opportunity. But the truth is, the real power will change your life which already live inside you. You just never believe enough.
I remember when I dey school, I don't know what to do with my life. I see my friends that cans sing, dance, or even code computer, and I will just feel small. One day, one teacher call me after class and say, “Anthony, you are good with words. You write like person that get story inside.” I laugh that day, I don't even take it serious. But that small sentence later turn my whole life around.
One night I just sit down and decided to write one small story. The English was not perfect, but I just write with my heart. I share it online, and people begin comment saying the story touch them. From that day I realized that, this thing that am looking outside for, its inside of me since I just don't look well.
That’s how potential be. E doesn't make noise, him no dey shout, him hide small small for inside you like seed. If you not believe am, it will remain seed forever. But if you water am with learning, practice, and confidence
Many people dey wait make everything perfect before them start. But truth be say, if you no start, you no go ever know wetin you fit become. You fit fail at first, you fit even make mistake, but those small small failures dey polish your potential.
Sometimes I look back and I thank God say I no give up that time. Because that same writing I see as nothing has now become something that bring me peace, joy, and even small income.
So my brother, my sister, stop doubting yourself. The greatness you find is not in another person hand, its your own hand, your own mind, your own effort.
