Be Brave: Be Bright: Be Bold Live Your Dream

It takes braveness, brightness and enough boldness to live one’s dream. Regardless of how old you think you are, the environment or place you live or find yourself, the job or career you are pursuing in life, know that you are destined to be happy and to be successful.

However, without being brave, bright and bold to live a happy life, you can’t live your dream to the full. For you to be able to maximise your full potential and achieve success, identify or discover your personal dream and pursue it to the maximum.

This will only become possible when you are able to discover your passions, interests, and values. The worst thing that can ever happen to a person is to be alive and not know why they are alive and what purpose they are to serve.

This is a tragedy common to many people. These people are very happy living and pursuing other people’s dreams and visions for their life BUT neglect their main purpose or dream. Most often, the people whose dreams they are pursuing are the same people who will discourage them from living their own dream.

Be aware that the world is full of selfish and ego centric people and until you are brave, bright and bold enough to set yourself free from the jaws of these individuals, you will NEVER live your dreams in own your way or on your own terms that will ensure your happiness and fulfilment in life. God wants to see you happy.

It's only in pursuing what HE God has ordained for you will you be happy and NOT in pursuing what other people deem is their will for your life.

A lion never gets scared because on the size of an elephant or a buffalo. The lion has a high level of braveness, brightness and boldness to tackle any animal in the animal kingdom. The lion is able to prey on antelopes, zebras, buffaloes and other grassland animals and wild beasts.

It's NOT because of its looks, beauty or calmness BUT because the lion believes that for it to live its dream as the king of the jungle, it has to be brave, bright and bold. Life will NEVER give you what you deserve BUT what you make a demand on to pursue, overtake and win.

Your dream is possible to achieve BUT failing to be brave, bright and bold in the face of the intimidation and fear of man, challenges, rejection, and possibly neglect from loved ones or the people you trusted the most will cause you not to live a life of being fulfilled in the purpose to which God has called you.

You will NEVER live to achieve your dreams if you crave the acceptance and applause of men. Sometimes, you will get discouraged by the very people you least expected to discourage you. After sharing your dream with them, they discourage you and make you feel useless and less confident. Let me tell you something; they only do that BECAUSE of jealousy, ignorance and envy.

Have you given up on your dream because of these people in your life? The bottom line is this; they are doing that to prevent you from living your life and success your way. Cherish and value your time so much so that you DO NOT spend precious time with negative people who do not value, appreciate or believe in your dreams.

Remember that time is the GREATEST asset given to men to achieve their dreams. Once you spend your time with negative and selfish people, you lose the ability to create something positive with your life because, they will consume your time like a rat eating cassava mercilessly.

Personally, I am NOT a television fan and I am not expecting you to do the same. You are entitled to do whatever you want to make yourself happy as long as you are not abusing or taking advantage of others.

However, television all day without learning and improving your life is just a waste of time and life. You must learn to be VERY selective in deciding what sort of TV program to watch that will add value to your life and transform your mind and make you a better person.

The issue with some of these television channels is that they appear harmless BUT are VERY deceptive and erroneously captivating. You need to be brave, bright and bold to turn it off if it is NOT adding value to you and do something more productive to create and live the life of your dreams. When you become brave, bright and bold about who you are, you are able to appreciate and value your authenticity. You don’t live your life to please anyone but yourself.

We are all created differently to achieve different things in life. We are all unique in our makeup and when we fail to understand that, we try to live and fit into other people’s lifestyles that may not be good for our purpose and dreams.

Don't compare your own life to other peoples' lives. Living for other people's dreams doesn't make you a hero BUT living and pursuing your purpose and dream does. Be your own hero. This can only come through you being brave, bright and bold to live your dream. To live your dream, you need to be brave, bright and bold to follow and stay in your own lane.

Never compare yourself to others. Brave, bright and bold people don’t compare themselves with others. They believe and live their dream purposefully. You will be surprised to know that, people who fail in life do so because they compare their lives to that of others without knowing the value they themselves hold or the price those they are comparing their lives to have paid to be who they are. Success is relative and your dream is also relative.

Therefore, if you want to feel accomplished and happy, live life and pursue your dreams on your own terms. You must be brave, bright and bold in yourself, and NEVER compare your life to other peoples' lives. No matter how perfect somebody's life looks, know that, behind closed doors he or she is dealing with fear, insecurity, pain, isolation and neglect. You need to appreciate what you have rather than feeling sorry for yourself.

You will be appreciated, loved, celebrated and valued when you live your life and don't live in the prison of others. Be brave, bright and bold and pursue your dream. That is the only way you can see and appreciate the sunlight of your future.

BE BRAVE, BE BRIGHT, BE BOLD AND PURSUE YOUR DREAM LIKE THE LION.
