Life has never been easy even before we were born into it. The most successful people today didn't sit at one place to be successful. They persevered, struggled as well as work hard to become what they are today.
The truth is if you don't try to do something, you won't know what you can do best.
Throughout my stay in high school, I was very shy when it comes to singing. I had the voice tho but it needed me to step up and make it better. The places I try out singing was always in the bathroom haha. I always feel like Don Moen!
In 2015, I decided to give myself a chance and try out singing to see what it looks like. I took singing very seriously and I joined the choir in my church. I exercised enthusiasm, consistency and seriousness cos I didn't just want to learn how to sing but to equally know music itself and get to teach others someday.
From 2015 till date, I can say boldly that I've learnt a lot in music in the course of singing.
Today I'm a Choir Master in my church which is one of the visions I had when joining the choir. Today I stand in front of people teaching them songs and how to sing! Today I can composed music.

One of the things I learnt in life in the course of singing is that for you to be successful in whatever you're doing, you have to believe in yourself. Just like when I started to sing. I believed in me and today it turns out so well that singing is my hobby now.
Another is Humility.
Humility is one factor which skyrockets ones success in life. For me to be the Choir Master if my choir today, I humbled myself, got serious with the teachings.
Consistency, Practice, devotion are also a core part to it.
The main focus here is that you need to try something! If you don't try, you may die not knowing how blessed you are within.
