Over time, I have come to understand that, if you must succeed in life, you must be ready to make sacrifices.
All the time, it requires that you give it your all.
√ Your time.
√ Your energy.
√ Your man power.
√ Your money.
√ Sleepless nights. And several others.
Or, have you not heard of people who died while trying to survive? While trying to pursue that purpose? While trying to make a better life for themselves?
Or do you not know that whatever you do in this life whether bad or good, there is always a big room for sacrifices.
Why does men of God, ritualists and others still need to do one thing or the other to still be in the limelight? Think!
What have you been sacrificing for that future you desire badly?
Pause...
I started chasing purpose while still a teenager. I remember when I had to keep late nights and most times, I had to sleep in the music studio (mosquitoes really feasted on me) and this sacrifices made me one of the best singer in Owerri.
When I started running Victor's Foundation, I could not save a kobo because I was always making sure every project is carried out successfully. Even if it means starving for a period of time.
I started pulling shows and events and I was never for once discouraged if I had to spend everything and had small or no returns.
I remember (serving maison and doing hard labours) just to keep up with my dreams.
I had to become a gateman at a school in Port Harcourt so I can survive and keep pushing through.
Do I talk about the countless nights I slept without a food to eat and without a water to bath?
I am not where I want to be but I am definitely not where I started.
Sometimes, I kept wondering how I could pull through for so long on my own.
Sometimes, I kept wondering how I never gave up when family and friends gave me reasons to...
Indeed, the story is so long and one day, I will share them to inspire lives...
My friend, what sacrifices have you been making to pursue that your vision, goal, and purpose?
If you have already given up, this is a call to stand up and get going. I believe in you.
God can only help you when he sees how much of a sacrifice you have given already.
Keep on keeping on. And one day, you will be happy you never gave up. Yes, you.
See you at the top.
My prayer for you today is that, may God send you destiny helpers. Amen.
Okpara Chima Victor.
