Sir,

I like the words said by Jesus in Gethsemane when He articulated that His spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.

This statement says a lot about humanity. We have the vision and dreams, but our flesh objects to progress because it is weak and it enjoys a comfort zone. We envision the future in our minds but when it’s time to take a step it becomes tough.

It’s not like we are really captivated in our minds; we have beautifully outstanding business ideas that could take us far, but our problem is that we lack what it takes to make a move.

Progress

Taking the first step towards progress is a serious dilemma that many folk are suffering from. It is like a disease that confines our minds. We know our goals, we understand our mission and destination, but hard work is like a bitter pill to swallow.

When it calls for us to rise up and face the realities of our journey we hide behind the walls of procrastination. We deceive ourselves by telling our hearts that we’re still young and we have time.

There is no right time except the time we have now; for we are young, energetic, fresh and we have all what it takes to create an incredible future.

Young people, it’s time for you to conquer the world, for you are the most genius generation that could change the world.

Use the skills and talents within you, for all that you need is packed inside of you.

Challenge

The greatest challenge is the first step, where you are imperfect and starting from scratch. It appears like the destination is impossible, but if you could clearly picture it in your mind then it means you can do it. Refuse to be confined by the darkness around you, there’s light that can shine out of life, only if you are willing to give it a try.

Face your weaknesses, discover your strengths and create opportunities.

Learn from the eagle, for when a storm approaches it uses it as a chance to fly higher. You have the power to bring yourself out of the slumps of life.
