The future belongs to those who are willing to do whatever it takes to succeed in life.

In Nigeria, as in most of the world, there is a misconception that the future belongs to the youth. I absolutely do not agree with such submission, knowing full well that young people have been deliberately neglected and deprived of the necessary development and tools to effectively assume a leadership position in all segments of the nation’s economy.

The fact is that tomorrow belongs to anyone who is able to see beyond today. When the whole world was still in darkness, Thomas Edison saw the future and invented the electric lamp that today has become a source of light and energy. His name can never be erased from the hall of fame, just like thousands of people who can see beyond his present.

If I may ask a personal question, “what does the world hold for you in the next 20 years?” As simple as this question may seem, some people don’t have a shred of an idea of ​​what the future holds, preferring to proceed one day at a time. The best way to secure your future is to position yourself for the challenge ahead. Be prepared to make sacrifices and do whatever it takes to have a secure tomorrow.

See what lies ahead with your spiritual eyes

We see physically with our normal eyes, while spiritual or subconscious eyes can be used to see beyond our today. That is the exact technique deployed by inventors, entrepreneurs and those who have positively influenced their generation.

Live beyond your generation and environment

It is a tragedy to allow your whole life to be controlled by where you live. I have observed over the years a lack of passion, aspiration and creativity among young people living in villages and rural areas in Nigeria due to a lack of infrastructure and development projects to stimulate their vision.

An individual who wishes to succeed must live beyond his immediate environment. It is his sole responsibility to create his own world and survive the limitations of the current generation. This is the secret of those who have made tangible progress in life.

think proactively

Our thoughts can positively or negatively affect our decisions in life. One of the things that distinguishes followers from leaders is the way they think. A leader is expected to think better than followers and do things differently. It is absolute madness to think ordinary and expect extraordinary results.

As you prepare for the wonderful future ahead, Almighty God will grant you all the resources, gifts, and tools you need to prosper and succeed in life. It’s up to you to take control of your tomorrow and create the better world you so desire.
