Anything you want to achieve in this life is possible, but you need to want it bad enough.
If you really want it , you will get it done, else… you will find an excuse. We all know how easy it is to find an excuse (and people will even understand). However, if you really, really want it, you also find a way.
I always tell people that “An excuse is just an excuse to put your brain to sleep”. If you do not hit an excuse roadblock, you will keep going until you finally hit a solution and the goals will be fulfilled.
When it seems progress cannot be made on any front, just ask yourself: how bad do I want this thing? What is the price I need to pay?
Look, to get ahead in this life requires a lot of sacrifices and thoughtful planning, I am not going to lie to you. Nothing interesting happens inside our comfort zones, we need to get out of it! A little discomfort per time is needed.
Every morning and every passing day, I have more and more excuses to not publish #TMP and even now that I am making some heavy tweaking to my long established daily routine, I know that publishing time for #TMP too might start to vary. However, if I do not want to so badly ensure I write everyday (even if nobody is reading), it is way easier to quit.
If you have seen the movie “The Prestige”, about 2 magicians whose rivalry led them into dangerous waters, you will get a glimpse of what I am talking about. They sacrificed their wives, families, 1 of them sacrificed his fingers… The other had to be willing to lay down his life. Just getting the job done at any cost. After I watched Will Smith’s “The Pursuit of Happyness”, the conclusion in my mind was that nobody has any excuse not to succeed in this life.
So, get out of here! Go and find a way to make it work!
If you really want success, you will find a way!

Watching The World
- The Nigerian Presidency now has a presence on Nigeria’s largest forum – Nairaland. I love this development.
- Farmers.NG connects rural farmers with urban buyers who need their produce. Great use of simple technological tools to solve a real problem.
