Most people have taken their greatness to the grave. They lived from cradle to the grave on 1% of their full capacity and true potentials and made zero return on God's unique investment in them. They cheated their families, friends, community and the world by living empty.
We all have dreams and aspirations. We know it is possible for us to achieve those dreams but most of us have outsourced them to circumstances and economy. I have come to believe that no one was given a dream without the capacity and potentials to achieve those dreams. If you have ever thought at some point in your life that it was possible for you to be great in life pursuing whatever dreams you had, then that was a sign from God that that is who you are meant to be. Possibilities are signs from God that we should give it a go.
Our discomfort right now is a sign that we are living below our threshold and nature is calling and challenging us to be more and to do more.
We have got to have the courage to advance confidently in the direction of our dreams and endeavour to live lives which we have imagined and we will meet with success unexpected at common hours. We have got to live to the fullness of our potentials and die empty. We need to be proud to know that we are exiting this world without a feeling of regret over what we could have done and could have become. To leave this world on EMPTY and not on FULL gasoline should be our mandate.
So go on and write that book, sing that song, make that investment, become that artist, that painter, that dancer and that person you are created to be.
Live full, die empty.
