Many times I tell myself that I must be great in life. But there is always something that baffles me. How would I become great? Many times I must have listened to podcasts and read biographies of great people in life and how they made it.

Most of them do have a rough start and they have one thing in common which is not giving up.

It’s sweeter to utter it in words but taking to action becomes a nightmare. NEVER GIVE UP!. Even a toddler can try to utter it but when the need arises to put it into action you see a lot of people already given up ahead of time.

I have also watched many movies and some inspiring ones. That’s one reason why I love watching true-life movies. Movies that narrated the true life story of great people who became a legend. Not that I don’t watch other genres of movies but I just prefer that.

I have watched a movie titled “clouds” where a young guy had to discover his true self. He was diagnosed with cancer and was given a death date. Knowing this must have made life miserable for him. But in the long run, when he finally discovered himself he sang the song titled clouds which was a hit before he left the world. He made an impact in the musical world. It became his success story.

I have read stories about business tycoons, engineers, teachers, sportsmen, doctors, warriors, kings, chiefs, and even students who put in their best in life and became superheroes the world can never forget.

Discovering myself

I am a nobody who is striving to become somebody. I believe is not really about money alone. But money does a lot. I have seen a lot of intelligent souls get underrated just because they were poor, many talented people got drowned with their talents all because there was no way to showcase that to the world.

There was a time in my life when I sat and asked myself, Who are you? Why do they call you by your name and you get to answer? I had a deep thought back then. I wondered how I got to be who I am and where am I even going to be.

Most times I think about who is there controlling me to do what I ought to do next and there are decisions I have to make all for myself. Am I truly the person I thought I am? Many dreams about seeing myself in several places but who was there in my dreams and who is the dreamer? I believe I must have been in the shadows for a very long time. Yet the question still keeps reoccurring, who are you?

What I am passionate about

I found myself doing a lot of things in life. But which of them do I love doing? It became a tough assessment for me. I have heard many people say you like this, you like that, you’re this, and you are that. But to myself, I don’t know what I am.

I can’t say I am multi-talented but I am sure I multitask. I believe there is nothing you can’t do only if you just don’t want to have it done. Maybe this mentality is what people see in me that gives them a different talk of who I am.

I am someone who believes in possibilities and proffering solutions to problems. Some challenges must have come my way, looking so heavy but with focus, I was able to tackle them. Since then I have come to see myself as an optimist. I see chances in most things.

Yeah, most times Grace speaks. But how about a grace that you didn’t pray and work towards? You can’t be in your room not doing anything and expect grace to find you. You just have to get out, start something, take a step and see what would come of it.

Ever since I discovered blogging I realized it had been a part of me I can’t do without, I felt that connection, but in the beginning, I never thought of myself as a writer or a reader. I don’t even like reading. Now I am here reading articles all day and making one.

How far would I go?

This is another question I do ask myself. I don’t want to see myself stopping along the way. I know my life is a journey, and I got to meet a lot of things. I was a teacher and with time I found myself liking it. I became a blogger too and I easily fell for it.

I have been on several platforms and got different experiences, and met with different people, many must have dropped along the way, which is normal because we all have our different timing and life is not about competition.

So far so good, I am still here blogging and I believe I have a long way to go. I envisioned myself doing great things through blogging even if I would need to step aside from blogging. It would be a world where I would still have to revolve around writing and reading.

My source of happiness

From the beginning, I have had the joy of being around nature as it gives me happiness from within. This is why I have wanted to be someone who would care for nature.

I found myself as an agriculturist still channeled around nature and I built my passion around it. Another thing I find myself doing that brings me happiness is imparting knowledge. Over time I believe knowledge is nothing more important than being impactful.

Shortly, if I found myself as a professor in agriculture, I won’t be surprised, because this is what I see myself doing every day to day.
