APPEARANCE IS NOT REALITY (Series 1)

People are like icebergs. There’s more to we humans than meets the eye. You see, only about 15% of an iceberg is visible above sea level whereas the other 85% is hidden below surface.

“You only get to see what I want you to see,” is one of the eminent thoughts in a lot of our minds today. And while these thoughts can be positive, most of the time we do this for self-rewarding and self-gratifying reasons.

There’s the story of the Korean Scientist who rose quickly to national fame in the late 90s. He’d achieved this due to an unmatched talent and skill which he possessed only to lose all of his life’s work in a blink because he lacked character.

Your character will go a long way to sustain your reality. Don’t always follow popular opinion only lose your essence in the process. Stay true to who you really are. Always think before you speak. Be kind always!

Leadership Expert, John Maxwell rightly said that, “no one can expect to succeed without strong character below the surface to protect his talent and sustain him during difficult times.”

Today, I’d tell you that while you’re grooming yourself to become someone of value, do not faint at every sight of difficulty. Instead, employ the power of a disciplined heart and make the (your) decision to grow through.

You must create your own reality and you must start from who you are and why you are. That is, ‘your true self’. Don’t waver at every opinion, shaking and cowering to the fear of being unaccepted by the majority.

You are someone, become that person. LIVE!
