There is no need dwelling on the part where people believe you can’t amount to anything. Well, if you look at it, that is their opinion, not yours. You are more than enough until you decide you are not. People have been drained of potentials because they accept other people’s opinions about their lives. As a result, they are stuck where they aren’t suppose to.
What you should know is, there is more to you than meets the eye. You have the capacity to dream and birth your dream(s) to reality. You have the capacity to become the best in your career without being depressed and overwhelmed. In other to harness these potentials in you here are 4 easy steps you can begin with.
Step One: Look Within 
Your motivation should come from within you. You can’t do it if you believe you can’t that is why we have words like “INspiration” “SELFmotiviation” - it all starts with “you”.
Step Two: Know your Strengths and Weaknesses
Your strengths make you and your weaknesses mar you (especially when you can’t manage them). Take for instance, I am a night crawler and I tend to wake up late in the day, by the time I am awake, most of my productive hours are gone. That is a weakness, so instead of letting it affect my productivity, I use the night to accomplish most of my work, that way I have used my weakness to my own advantage. You should try it. 
Step Three: Guard your Heart/Space Jealously
 The wrong people influence your decision and how you perceive life which in the long run can hamper your purpose in life. The people who made you believe you “can’t” achieve that because you allowed them in the first place. You are the sole custodian of your space - if it doesn’t add value to you don’t allow it within your space. NO is a complete sentence, don’t bother explaining yourself. Feed and absorb yourself with things that develop you and add value to you. Protect your space like its maximum security.
Step Four: Grow in your Own Space
Don’t let someone else’s success intimidate you. We all have different paths to follow. It could also be that they discovered their purpose in time before you did, so enjoy the process and bloom where you are planted. The trees in the forest are on the same land, draw nutrients from the same land but grow in their own time and in their own space.
May your purpose be fulfilled.

Sincerely, growing up is not all fun and games as earlier envisioned... I mean, thought I will grow up, do whatever it is I wanted, go out when I wanted, have all the money in the world (lol) you can imagine my shock when I graduated. I had an expectation of where I wanted to work, what my earnings would look like and of course it wasn’t a small figure, jokes on me now. The thing is, I wasn’t ready for these responsibilities but they came anyway. The days of serial brokenness (if there is a word like that), when I don’t feel like seeing the sun and I doubted my relevance all befell me. But by now, you can totally relate to this if you are in your adolescence or adult phase but the truth is no-one was given a guideline on how to handle these things because we have our unique experiences and what sets you apart is how gracefully you handle these loads of responsibilities coming your way. One thing is vital, “Preparation”.  being on this adolescence rol...

I'm talking about the perfection trap.  Don't fall for this, you will never attain it. You will stretch but it will never be enough because guess what, you don't even know how to measure perfect, nobody does. Whatever we do is an expression of our opinion and a collection of other people's beliefs which we have now accepted, so how then can we measure "perfection " if we are all trapped in our biases. Do you realize that no matter how exceptionally genius an art or piece of writing is, someone always has something to say about how it would have been better? Rather than striving for perfection, I will suggest you go for "excellence" here, it is ok if you don't get it right the first time but as far as you are willing to make corrections and improve constantly you can attain excellence. Here is one thing you can do to achieve excellence.                   Don't stop learning. This sounds bori...

"FOR UNTO EVERYONE THAT HATH SHALL BE GIVEN, AND HE SHALL HAVE ABUNDANCE. BUT FROM HIM THAT HATH NOT SHALL BE TAKEN AWAY EVEN THAT WHICH HE HATH." -Matthew 25:29 When I was younger I marveled at the unfairness of the verse above, until I came to understand the true meaning. What you do with what you have been given determines what you will be given.   Expecting more when you haven't utilized what you have already is futile. So you can go on and on about how tomorrow will be better and how great you'll be in the future but as long as you're not doing enough to facilitate that future you'll continuously tell yourself the same thing until one day you realize you're living in the future and it's not as grand as you expected it to be. This is why you must push yourself today to do better than you did yesterday, only the mediocre are always at their best. Striving towards excellence should be the goal at all times and in all situations. It is import...
