Dear loving people,
I live with very good memories of a
human potential development organization in Cameroon called Gold
Touch International. I did not only start my career there, but have
carried along a good portion of what makes what I am today.
For those who knew Gold Touch International, you certainly know the rock-hard senior Journalist
behind it – Ngobesing Suh Romanus. Of the multitude of outstanding things he has
and continues to say, I pick out this astute counsel “If you
want to do something and know it is right, go ahead and do it. Don’t doubt,
don’t fear, don’t listen to discouraging messages from people, just go ahead
and do it”
It’s over 15 years since I first heard
those words from Mr. Ngobesing and guess what? The words still linger around me
like a menacing ghost. As he says, the moment you decide to take action to
change your story, somebody somewhere is going to criticize what you do. Just go
ahead and do it.
There will be critical problems and difficulties
that will come your way, and you won’t get to the finish line as quickly as you
planned. Just go ahead and do it.
As you read this message now, I know there’s
something you sincerely want to achieve, become, or experience in life. While there
are infinite reasons and excuses for not advancing with it, I equally know there’s
also one very fascinating reason why you should just go ahead and do it.
As a matter of fact, if you truly
desire it, believe in it, “…and know it’s
right, then just go ahead and do it…” because
it’s something you are meant to do.
The truth that many will not tell you
is that it won’t just happen because you want it so bad. If life was that easy,
everybody will have everything. It will only happen to you, when you focus the
power of your spirit and awareness persistently in the direction that makes it
happen. That is what I often refer to as “putting your bones and brains to work for
it.”
You must have read
this 16th century English language proverb "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride".
It is a succinct explanation why it is utterly useless to simply wish and that
better results can only be achieved through concrete and focused action.
While tabling your supplications to Providence,
go ahead, and experience the priceless pleasure of having a purpose. Go ahead
and make it happen, just go ahead and do it.
I feel proud reading this article by someone who is making his mark in life already. I am happy to know people who have been impacted by my ideas. My greatest dream is to encourage and inspire as many people as I can to make the most of their potentials. We all have enormous potentials which, in most cases, lie dormant. The people who move, shake and rattle the world are no more endowed than us. The difference is while some push themselves to get the best out of themselves, others make no or half-hearted effort. Half-hearted effort produces half-hearted results. Whole-hearted effort leads to excellence. Let us not sell ourselves short. Let us make the most of our opportunities; and when people think that we cannot do it, let us go ahead and do it. When everybody has dismissed us as not good for much, that is our chance to pick up from there and flabbergast them with legendary success.
