In
the song Dreams, she sang "Dreams
are more precious than Gold", and that got me thinking really
deep!
Dreams
are what make us humans. The fact that it allows us hope for the best put our
faith to test and help us love more when it comes to pass. Oh! Dreams are truly
beautiful! Dreams never die! [Now I am going down memory lane, the
reminiscence; remember the world famous group Westlife and the track Dreams
Come True? This is simply nostalgic for me.
The
truth is that we have control of our dreams, how live them out, how willing we
are to put our foot down and turn dreams to reality. You are allowed to dream
and to be able to transform that abstract into tangible things that you can see
and feel.

Okobi says;
"You
may bother yourself about a lot of things. Some worthy of the attention you
give it; others, not deserving. You are bothered more about things you have no
control over than those you have a bearing on. Every little thing is a source
of worry to you".
"I
used to complain a great deal when the exchange rate started falling. I would
be in a bad mood and refuse to change any cash I had on me (since banks were
refusing my automatic teller machine card). Gradually, I would take out the
anger on the commercial cyclists and traders, but I soon realized it didn't
make any sense.
"The
rates didn't come up and I was succeeding at being a good source of worry to
myself and others. So, I resolved to change my money when I wanted and go on
with my work.
Dearie,
until you are okay with some issues you have no control over and focus on those
things you have a stake in, you would be living life bothered about what is
irrelevant while leaving the relevant at its mercy.
Gold
can rust, lost to corrosion. Money can run out, but our dreams are evergreen,
freshly imprinted in our minds. What greater joy if we can even help people
dream more, do more, aspire more, learn more!
That
is leadership!
Therefore,
block out the things that you can not control and stick to what you have power
over. Your dreams and the willingness to do; to transform into reality, is
within your control.
Exercise
your power today!
