WHAT CHOICE HAVE YOU MADE?

 Dr Ben Carson

Part One

Widely speaking, there are two categories of people in the world.

1.      Those who rule their world

2.      Those who are ruled by their world

Let’s consider those in the first category. Those in this category rule their world because they have discovered that they are in possession of WEAPONS with which they can subdue their world. What are these weapons? They are called talents. To some, they are gifts, endowments. And to others, they are called potentials. Irrespective of the names given to them, they are all weapons. Those that rule their world discovered, nourished, refined, established and utilized these weapons effectively. I want you to know that all the above processes do not take place in a single day; it’s a lifetime project. How soon all these processes can be carried out depends on YOU. Did you just say “ME”? Yes. I’m talking to YOU. It all depends on your level of Readiness, Self-determination, Diligence and Faith. Remember, we were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

Nigerians are very proud of Basketmouth, Seyi Law, Alfa Sule crew in the comedy industry. Lionel Messi, Usain Bolt, Michael Phelps are wizards in sports. Olu Jacob is no doubt an all-time Nollywood icon. We can’t forget the world renowned giant writers- Chinua Achebe, Wole Soyinka, Chimamanda Adichie. Myles Munroe, Fela Durotoye, Sam Adeyemi motivate generations and talk people to success. Dr Ben Carson’s name is well engraved on the adorable rock of history as far as modern medicine is concerned.

Those who rule their world have a COMMON ATTRIBUTE and this singles them out from others. What is this attribute? It is called uniqueness i.e. an ability to do things in a way it has never been done in the past. If you must make a difference in whatever career you have chosen, then, you must try as much as possible to be unique. To be unique, you must be able to overcome impossibilities, mediocrity, fear, apathy, and failure amongst others so that you can rule your world and therefore not ruled by your world.

Do you want to rule your world or you want to be ruled by your world? The choice is YOURS. Keep the hope alive!
