How can we deal with the multi-pronged challenges that life throws at us? most especially if like me you are from nations tagged the third world.. I am from Nigeria, son of a blue-collar worker who lost his Job shortly before I finished high school. I also struggled with learning as a kid, I remember being moved from basic 2 to nursery 2 because I could not recite the alphabet correctly, I also remember struggling with partial paralysis at age seven leaving me unable to walk for some weeks unaided.. There are more challenges but I guess you like me should be embarrassed on my behalf now… The one thing I got right from childhood is dreaming…
Dreams help us escape the reality of whatever misery we are engaged with, it paints picture of the preferable in our mind which ultimately turns our reality.. I have seen many of my dreams come true and when they do I become emboldened to dream new dreams. If my story is not enough motivation there was a dreamer boy about 4000 years ago who when he got hated for his audacious dreams just came back bolder with a new dream…Do not forget Martin Luther best speech is a dream and so can yours.
