It does not do any good resigning to the fate that you will never be successful. Start an insurrection in your own life now. Challenge conventional thinking and start doing things differently.
It may look insane and people might consider you crazy while others would even belittle you. Remember one thing, however: you are taking the road least taken and they can hardly see it.
They are used to the comfort zone, the tried and tested models. They are not innovative, hence unable to move out of the box.
The reality is that you were born unique, with the ability and capability to become the author of your own destiny.

The words of wisdom of Hamel thunder to his readers and let them thunder in your ears as well: “You can look the future in the eye and say: I am no longer a captive to history. Whatever I can imagine, I can accomplish. I am no longer a vassal in a faceless bureaucracy. I am an activist, not a drone. I am no longer a foot soldier in the march of progress. I am a revolutionary.”

When you decide to author your own destiny, even fear itself fears you. You become too courageous and unstoppable.
There are no vestiges of doubt that nobody had ever attempted to sink a man-made lake in Malawi and surround it with buildings to make a hotel. That fear must have been in Napoleon Dzombe as he was embarking on his project.
Who is he? Some people must have lamented in their hearts. Nevertheless, his determination was levels far ahead of fear.
Now we are trekking to one of the amazing wonders of Malawi, Kalipano Hotel in Dowa. Napoleon Dzombe authored his destiny.

What are you waiting for? It is high time you authored your destiny.
Muhammad Ali made it in boxing, Martin Luther King Jr made it in civil rights activism, Mother Theresa made it in charity, Aliko Dangote made it in entrepreneurship, Steve Jobs scribbled his name in the scrolls of history, Socrates became the father of philosophy, Henry Ford revolutionised the motor vehicle industry and Michael Jackson bossed the pop music industry.
What are you waiting for? You are endowed with the knowledge, talents and greatness to achieve what no one else has ever thought you could achieve.
When you are so transfixed on authoring your name in the amazing scrolls of destiny, the world opens doors you could never see.
What never existed suddenly opens up and you come to the realisation of a new world. It comes with challenges because you are changing the world order. You no longer live at the level at which everyone else is living. It is like you have the levers of the world in your hands and can tilt it in any direction you want.
Come to think of Sir Ranulph Fiennes, who lost the tips of his fingers after he attempted to walk solo and unsupported to the North Pole in 2000. His sleds fell through weak ice and Fiennes was forced to pull them out by hand.
Such is the man who was the first person to visit both the North Pole and the South Pole by surface means and also the first to completely cross the Antarctica on foot.
In May 1965, at the age of 65, he climbed to the summit of Mount Everest. As the Guinness Book of World Records attested in 1984, he was the world’s greatest living explorer.
Anything that amazes you in this world was never there before. It had to take someone to challenge conventional thinking.
Adam was created naked and it took some humans the genius factor to look at cotton and make clothes from them.
God created the seas, oceans and rivers. It took some humans to make boats and ships to cross these vast bodies of water.
Anything you are cherishing today is but the authored destiny of someone else. What are you waiting for? Author your destiny now. The world is waiting.
