The Wreck of life, the destined rough path that you need to face with a third eye
Rent is always due on the first whether you’re inspired or not. Life bills and wants are the reasons you always see people wake up very early daily heading to their workplaces.
There are those with permanent jobs and those……The true hustling souls who always keep their hopes alive wishing for the best of lucky to fall their way, those who walk in the sun trying to find anyone willing to offer them a job, at times they find one or two things to put their hands on and by the day-break ,they go back to their nests with something to put in their mouths but again as long as there are not dead yet…….life is always demanding more of their efforts to satisfy their basic wants and the bad news is……The more hard life is, the more days you live!
I don’t know about you but as for me, there is something that I hate and I’m really afraid of ……Not death, not cancer not even paralysis, its poverty! If I’m given an opportunity to ask God to permanently take away only one damn thing that I hate from the bottom of my heart. ……I would scream so loud the word “ Poverty” so that he feels exactly how I want it out of life.
People will tell you everything will be fine, they will lie to you that you don’t need to worry so much about what to eat and what to put on because in one reason or the other…..They’re religious people but what you don’t know is……Some of these people don’t just like to tell you the damn truth that if you don’t work hard, smart and always wake up with a positive attitude, dreams in mind and a hopeful heart……Then even God doesn’t really recognize you.
I’m not very religious and don’t get me wrong, but the little that I know about the scriptures is…..God doesn’t like a lazy person, he doesn’t like a person with a broken faith and hope. He doesn’t like a child who is living like an orphan when he, God is an always living father. He is up there on the skies always looking down to see who really is bleeding his/her nails and head up to achieve one or two goals. As I said earlier……If they tell you, the little that you earn is enough, if they tell you that having a billionaire mind or a heart that live a life of wanting a lot of possession and damn lots of money is not Godly, you should stop befriending such people.
They are not your friends but your dream killers; they are actually the devils you share a plate with! Dam it; they’re burying you while still alive. What do you live for if your hope is dead? What use do you think a person has if he/she doesn’t have a vision and an imagining mind that builds their future?
Imagine living a life where you cannot make your mama happy, you cannot afford to take a family on vacation , a life where you would have tried the best of yourself and maybe in one way or another God would have open one or two doors for you but then you…….You listened to peoples’ noises, you believed in the word of mouth that if you have a job that pays you some bucks, which can support you pay your rent and just buy you some clothes then you don’t need to really struggle for more because a day is coming when you’ll die and when you do……
They said “You won’t be buried with your possession or money” so you let these people kill your hopes, your hardworking attitude and you settled for less, at some point you clearly know that you’re poor and you don’t have what you always dreamed when you were young not because someone stopped you from reaching your goals or because you don’t have a potential but just because some people made you believe that it is impossible to achieve something’s in life.
My life is a story filled with darkness that seemed terrifying, tormenting and demanding but when I decided one thing….A thing that kept me going until I became who I’m today, grew to this point of life.
I know for a fact that whoever said “Everything is Possible” Never lied and here’s me and my broken life that I had to fix until things started fixing themselves. The truth about life is……It is a field where we are all players, the decision is always one’s choice….Are you the kind of player who is determined to win no matter the conditions of the field and match or you’re the type of player who gives up and became a spectator?
“Life is hard but it is harder when you’re a fool” I’d hear this statement from my mother always when she was addressing us , she is the type of “ Don’t listen to what people say but do things by yourself” Type of woman.
She believes in “Better to try and fail than not to try because you heard people tried and failed” Whenever I sit back and think where I’ve come from, how I grew up. Without a father, when others called “Daddy” the only thing I could see was the grave that was cemented. I knew my father lies inside there and so I had to accept the fact that my old man was gone…..Gone and gone forever.
I had to grow up with a tormented and forsaken heart; I hated myself, hated life and God. I had seen no reasons to live. Everything was dark; life seemed so gigantic to fit into. The hunger, the pain and the crying was part of life that had signed a contract to always follow me.
I started going to church, then I backslidden, went back again until I hated church too. I hated church because the people we called “Fellow Christians” They’d brag in their testimonies and would make you feel like you had no room for the God’s to bless you.
They’d say how much good life they had, they’d showcase their expensive clothes and cars while you’re seated, feeling lonely, hungry and angry. Church looked like a place where the rich went to showcase their riches. We the poor, had no testimonies and when we do, it was the “I thank God I’m alive for the blood of Jesus saved me on the cross” Kind of testimonies.
I lived like the broken pieces of old looking houses and windows that looked lonely and outcast. Whenever I saw the lying pieces of broken bricks and iron sheets rusted and left to rot, I’d know that how exactly my heart looked like inside…..Broken and forgotten. I had no visions and dreams but I had some faith and hope. I had decided that I’d allow life to take everything away from me but not my little faith and hope.
I wrapped the two precious things in my life and stored them deep down my heart. I was living like a dying person but I was……A dying person who was going to die with faith and hope.
I kept hope on the forefront then faith followed. If I wasn’t going to have faith in a supreme being then at least I was going to have faith in myself. Hope was there to remind me that I should never tire and that I should keep trying until my last breath…..I actually didn’t expect any good because the life I had lived never promised any foreseeable good but hope just kept reminding me that I should expect any results….Whether the results was to be good or bad, I had no worries on that.
To add pain to the rotting wound, Life and adolescence met at a certain point, Let no one lie to you …..The pain that comes with hard life and rejection from a woman you love is enough to make you a serial killer! It can change you from a person to a monster. It is dangerous and poisonous. I have tremendous experience about this too. So in short….I’ve seen more of life that had given me enough reasons to be a killer, a thief or maybe join terror groups.
But because I had faith and hopes, I fought life with a positive mind. I always told myself “ Life is a battle field and I’m a soldier so I need to go to Calvary cause it is taking over” I had to set myself, make an army of myself and get ready to fight back so hard. I then started the long journey, a journey to finding purpose!
That journey started with freelancing, an online thing that I kept reading from newspapers and magazines. Stories of people who were hopeless, jobless and who seemed useless becoming well-paid people in the society by working online! I watched videos and though some were said to be business men and women who were looking for ways of robbing others their hard earned money because some of them promised in their videos and social media pages to help people get started in the online working.
Some were con men and women. But as I said earlier, I’ve got faith and hope; I never accepted the fact that freelancing was all a con thing. I took the initiative to find out more, I got conned but I never stopped until I came to the realization that Freelancing was genuine and possible way of earning, it is a true career that is making many people live comfortable lives and the surprising part about it is…….Many, Many people have quitted their permanent jobs…..Well-paying jobs to get into freelancing full-time!
When I started it, I started it with the spirit that I could do anything it took me to make sure that I’d make a living from it. I had to decide not to quit doing it no matter how hard it might have seemed.
I had to make a decision of “I’ll never quite “ and when it pushed me to thinking of quitting I had to remind myself that I had earlier made a promise to myself that I’d never quit. The struggling, the rejection the discouragement followed by a force of an angry devil.
It all pushed me and always rang into my mind and heart telling me that “You’re not the kind of person to make it in stuff like freelancing” I could hear this a hundred times in a day, it was a feeling that was always holding me backward and when I had to decide to pay for a freelancing course the voice saying “ You’re wasting your money and You’ll get conned and even when you get trained, you’ll still make no buck of any money”……That voice had to be dealt with so I had to stand still, curse that voice and get ready whether I was going to be conned or not, all that matter was I was going to get trained and so I did!
I paid Walter Akolo, I paid him fully fee, and He reached out and get me access to his training. I went through the whole thing in a single damn day. What I saw made me start believing that it was true “This is just a con, there is nothing that proves me earning a penny after this course” But because I had paid I went ahead and did the course.
Paying for the course was a start of taking risks, it was a new dawn of a door that opened my eyes to have a heart that would make hardcore decisions which I would follow and not settle with the fear of failure. The time I was done with the course, I had grown an additional piece of hope….This one was a self-challenging attitude, I started wanting to do things in my own way. I applied the teaching but I came to the realization that when we are trained, it doesn’t mean that we should apply or use exactly what we’ve received from our role models. We should be creative enough to blend what we received and get doing things in another version of style.
The path was fully of thorns, fully of human beings who would do anything to get you discouraged. I remember when I shared my stuff in Facebook; shared my writing. The words I received from some people, was enough to kill my going. Many said they felt like I was wasting time but was I going to listen to the noise or walk passed it and surpass the power of failure to stand out as a self-made hustler, a self –driven motivator eyeing for a better future?
The concern here is freelancing but the whole concern is not freelancing either, do you get any point on that or it is confusing? Here’s what I mean.
Whether you’re looking for a way to get started in freelancing, whether you’re stuck in freelancing or just anything that is self- set goal and a money building agenda, it is exactly what I want you to have in mind. When you lacked motivation, here is the motivation, if you felt discouraged here is the encouragement, if you had been told by millions of friends or relatives that you’re kind of a curse or whatever that you thought is your dream or some kind of stuff you wanted so badly to achieve in life is impossible, I’m here to tell you that is the lucrative lie you have ever been told, why?
Because I have been told so before, people have whispered into my whole existence that I wasn’t going to make a living especially from something like freelancing, they said I wasn’t going to start a thing that would work , no business was going to be successful in short ,they’d say “ You’re cursed” that was one thing they didn’t know I used to stay focused , all that I was doing to succeed was to prove to my dream killers, those who believed I couldn’t bring any success in life, I lived to always shed tears wanting to prove to such people that I was such a blessed person , I lived to try things and push them so that I could win.
Deep down my soul, there was no such words or thoughts like “I can’t achieve this or that” “This is impossible or it is not the type of thing I can handle or achieve”…..I lived a positive life beyond the normal human. Circumstances that would break my heart or discourage me, I took them as motivation. I treated such forces like thorns of life that wanted my concentration.
When I paid attention to the huge questions in mind like “ Why should I give up when others who have come from backgrounds like mine made it to the top” “ Why should I give up when people like John Morrow, a renowned blogger who is making billions of money, BIG MONEY, never gave up and the guy cannot move his body but only his neck!” such sounded stupid because they’re those who said to me “ Don’t mention people like John because he’s born and raised in the united states of American where opportunities are many”
To a point these people were right but there is one damn thing they forgot…….Did John Morrow founded those opportunities or the opportunities founded him? Did he start to write before people, clients and companies realized that he was a good and gifted writer or they just knew or smelled it from him?
I came to the realization that success is not limited to where you come from, where you’re raised, which country you are born…. In fact success is not limited to any of these stupid excuses many failure thinking people have. They just make excuses but the naked truth is…..Their force of laziness surpasses their force of hard work!
So Williams never listened to any of those. He started writing scripts, started acting, started making videos and finally started freelancing. After long struggle and the ups and downs, I learnt a lot from experience.
To date and to this point, Williams is running a successful writing site with increase of traffic, followers growing in huge numbers daily. Within a short period of time I have managed over 5K+ followers. This is because I’m consistent in what I’m passionate about. From a not well known writer to a well versed and competitive writer who is earning tremendous reputation from clients I have worked for.
I also have an established team of versatile actors and I’m building a tremendous team of gifted minds of writers that have a common solid goal….To help our clients with web content, articles, videos, speaking needs and anything that needs a creative mind to boost their brands, websites and business to grow from point A to a bigger point B { The transition phase} .
My aim is to see that I eradicated poverty, work towards helping brands grow. Increase my client’s readership, audience and keep their readers or customers engaged and entertained.
Those who are willing to take this advice, start their journey on freelancing, acting, script writing, creative and speaking career have to understand that nothing is easy but nothing is also impossible. All that matters is winning and not how you’re going to win.
To my valuable clients, my top priority is to make sure that you’re satisfied. I’m always looking forward to boost your brands, sites and write for you outstanding product reviews that will drive your buyers to buy more than what they want!
Food for thought
In whatever that you want to do or achieve, do it as soon as you’re still alive because when you’re dead….You will die the greatest loser of all times!
Don’t listen to the noise but walk passed the noise and when you do…..you’ll be the damn best child this world will ever have, a child who has a third eye and a mind that is success oriented.
For the clients, hiring a talented writer, speaker or whatever the kind of job your employee does is the best of thing you will ever do to see your brand tremendously growing with results that you’d have never achieved even with thousands of less talented employees.
