Sometimes when we put our dreams and goals away for a long period of time we tend to lose our audacity to do it. We all have agonized about pursuing some dream sometime past, because of fear or some other factors. The strength and zeal evaporates over time if not put in use. So today, begin to move towards those goals and dreams and see them moving towards you. Use the zeal you have today. It just works like developing the muscles, the more you put it to use by exercising the stronger it becomes. Be encouraged by the words of Dale Carnegie who said “Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” Keep trying.

“It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.” ― Randy Pausch. Today, I have a little exercise for you to do, go and pick up any childhood picture of yours and study it carefully. Let it bring to you those sweet memories of your childhood, your wildest dreams then, try and remember all those things you wanted to be, do and have. Enjoy those memories, now pause and ask yourself, what have you become? Did you do like the many that only grow up and give up? There is still hope for you whiles there is live. It’s never too late; just begin the journey to your dream life.

Today I want to re-echo this to you, to dream the impossible dream and go for it. We all have dreams to achieve, targets to hit. In the midst of all this, there is always an inner battle within, either to go for it or not, to give up or persist. But today I encourage you with the lyrics of the song by Frank Sinatra, who wrote this thinking about war. To let you know, there is hope if we only have enough courage to see beyond the barriers, I say to you it’s POSSIBLE to achieve your dreams. The Impossible Dream To dream the impossible dream To fight the unbeatable foe To bear with unbearable sorrow To run where the brave dare not go To right the unrightable wrong To be better far than you are To try when your arms are too weary To reach the unreachable star This is my quest, to follow that star No matter how hopeless, no matter how far To be willing to give when there's no more to give To be willing to die so that honor and justice may live And I know if I'll only be true to this glorious quest That my heart will lie peaceful and calm when I'm laid to my rest And the world will be better for this That one man, scorned and covered with scars, Still strove with his last ounce of courage To reach the unreachable star. By: Franklin Sinatra

Wow! There is nothing wrong having multiple talents and the ability to do a whole lot of things, bits and pieces of almost everything. Some people can settle on one thing and live on it all their lives whereas others have the tendency to do multiple things at a time and ability of moving from one thing to the other. So get to know yourself and don't let society frame you into focusing on one thing and majoring. Whoever is defined is confined, set yourself free, be refined! Refuse to be that one thing, you are multitalented person. Live your dreams. “Having talent is like having blue eyes. You don't admire a man for the colour of his eyes. I admire a man for what he does with his talent” ~ Michael Caine

You deserve a break, for “it is the silence between the notes that makes the music”. Every now and then you need to pause in this fast paced world to enjoy the moment, the moment of peace. If you are the sociable type and have been living a busy life it will be difficult initially trying to slow down, to enjoy time alone with yourself but with extra effort over time it will be worth it. You need some peace of mind in the midst of life’s busy schedules, take time to rest. These are times that you can sit back and reflect on life and also make more meaningful decisions. Turn down the volume today and enjoy some solitude. “We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.” ~ Mother Teresa

‘’If he can do it, you can probably do it as well’’… so what is standing between you and that which you desire? What are you doing with what you have, in your current situation? Are you complaining and giving excuses? There are two options here: reasons or results, you decide. In every situation you may find yourself, other people have been in that same circumstance before and perhaps might have had a worse state than yours. Yet in this, many have overcome surpassing odds to achieve great heights in life. You too can do something about your state now. It’s about time you stop telling yourself you are not smart enough and that you don’t have what it takes. Excuse your excuses and work on your dreams. It’s possible. “We can throw stones, complain about them, stumble on them, climb over them, or build with them” – William Arthur ward

Too many people do not let their dreams see the sun shine because they are too afraid of the shadows that will fall behind, the possibility of failure, scared of their dreams not being able to survive the test of time. So they stay forever in the darkrooms of their minds and they refuse to develop it till eternity. Unfortunately many of such dreams never come to pass because such dreams either over stayed in the darkrooms of their minds or prematurely birthed because of fear. Today whatever your dreams are, be confident in it and in your abilities, put it to test, you may fail or succeed, but don’t give up on it in anyway. Dream another dream anytime anyway and pursue your dreams. Time and chance will be there to support you. Live your dreams and don’t die with your music unsung. Now is the time, the season. Birth your ideas, the world is waiting.

BKC Motivational Show - Episode 2 Listen to great insight from: Guest Author Mariska Araba Taylor-Darko with her book "THE SECRET TO DETOXIFYING YOUR LIFE AND LOVE" Discussion on "Motivation" with Young great motivational Speakers Jeremiah Buabeng Motivational Speaker and Eugene Ayim.

Success means different things to different people. Whatever success means to you, get hold of it and enjoy it. See success more of a journey than a destination. You need to be asking yourself is what am I becoming in pursuing what you want? Nonetheless, note that; Success is not security, failure not fatal; it’s only the courage to continue anytime you fall that counts. So don’t settle as a tomb, be a womb, keep evolving, don’t be idle... Be a work in progress.

Sometime all that you will need is one good idea, a brilliant idea, an innovative idea. However a good idea and a good plan are not enough, but a good step taken today is better than good ideas and plans lying idle. So today step out and be willing to fail, work on the realization of your dreams, stretch yourself, and challenge yourself. Brian Tracy will say ‘develop a bias towards action’ act now on your plans. Your action today will give you results to work with tomorrow. No action no results. One good idea may suffice, if acted upon.

What is your source of motivation? One great source of motivation is music. Listening to music can activate different moods in one’s life. The kind of music also counts; it’s important to note that the type of music that will motivate one person differs from the other. Take time to find the kind of music that stimulates the creative juices in you. Create a playlist of the kind of music that motivates you personally and play it constantly or as needed. Enjoy life. “Without music, life would be a mistake.” ― Friedrich Nietzsche

If you feel you don’t get enough of encouragement in life for what you do, pause and think and consider...it may be that you are not sowing enough encouragement in the lives of others. Go and encourage someone today, support a worthy cause. Push someone to climb over the wall. Support that dream of your friend. Your little acts: kind words, your recommendations will go a long way to boost someone’s dream and life.
