Thinking about giving up? Wanting to make excuses as to why you are no longer going to push yourself anymore? Student poet Diolu Tobechukwu isnt hearing any of that. In fact, in his latest poem, The Mighty Rises, he explains why when you want to give up, it means it is time to push harder. His introduction: Steve Jobs was born poor with no education, but in spite of all odds, he lived his dreams. Nick Vudicic was born without limbs, but in spite of all odds, hes living his dream. Mary Kay Ash was born in to poverty, with no funds for education, but in spite of all odds, she lived her dream, explored her creative instincts, and never stopped trying. Folu Ayeni, Nelson Mandela, Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates, Paula White...the list is endless. We should quit playing the blame game: bad childhood, bad government, bad teachers, bad friends, bad parents, bad past, mistakes, bad wife/husbands, etc. Instead, we should pick it up, take responsibility, forgive freely, and move on. Its never too late. Let your dreams inspire purpose, let your purpose bring about hope, and hope bring about joy, which brings about fulfillment. You can be mighty again. Amen.
