THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY


THE STORY BEHIND THE GLORY
Whether you are aware or not you a cast in a movie called LIFE starring you as the major character. God is the director of this movie , but he has given you the expensive privilege to be the script writer of this movie. As the director of this movie,he had already pre determined the first act of the movie, therefore you can’t choose the family you are born to ,you can’t choose your social status or background , you can’t choose your physical stature or complexion , you cannot choose the circumstances surrounding your birth. But conversely, you can choose how the story of the movie of your life will turn out. Perhaps it might become a block buster, chart breaker, which will garner awards or it might end up as a movie which will gather no mention in life’s hall of fame. All this is a function of deciding to use all the creator has wired within you in order to make the remaining part of the story of your life,s movie become a comedy rather than a bitter tragedy. Camera, lights, action.As a sage once said, Everyday is an opportunity to make a new happy ending.

EPILOGUE
For the past four years I have dedicated my life to helping people become goal scorers in the game of life. When I started out as a motivational speaker, career coach and syndicated columnist, I encountered a whole lot of rejections. I recall those days I would go hungry just to attend seminars and to buy books.Trekking long distances just because I couldn’t afford to pay transport fare in order to attend events. Presently, things have changed and are still changing. I run a career coaching outfit where we coach high profile celebs and individuals how to live a life of peak performance. I have speaking engagements at least once a week, I grant media interviews which were not coming years back, and a columnist to over twenty publications including national dailies and magazines.All this didn’t happen over night but over time. Today I profit form my passion and help put smile on people’s faces. You too can rise to be an icon that people will look up to.I believe in you. We will read your own success story. Go and rule your world!
