Imagine the following scenario.

It is a few days after the inauguration.

Though gone, its aftermath is visible everywhere.

On that day, the president said: "the fuel subsidy is gone!"

And that unleashed pandemonium you see everywhere.

Instantly, the price of fuel jumped from 245 naira per liter to over 600 naira per liter.

The same thing happened to the dooollar.

From about 500 naira before inauguration...

It jumped to over 800 naira.

Next was cost of transportation.

Where you normally used 2,000 naira to travel to...

You now require over 7,000 naira to do the same journey.

But, it does not stop there.

Food has also become very expensive too.

There is widespread confusion and poverty as the cost of everything has gone up.

As a matter of fact, everything has taken a nosedive that the popular saying has become...

"Let the poor breathe. Do not suffocate them."

But, even the poor are hopeful and keeps assuring themselves that they must surely survive.

Then, all of a sudden...

In the midst of all these chaos and confusion...

When it seemed that there is very little hope left amidst the widely touted "renewed hope" mantra of the ruling party.

You receive an invitation from your brother living in Spain.

He has lived in the country for over 20 years and now he is inviting you to come on a trip.

He is paying for everything.

Your Visa.

Your Passport.

Your flight ticket.

Everything!

All you need to do is simply pack your bag and get on the plane and travel out.

But, instead of you to accept the invitation.

You argue and argue and argue with your brother why he should not take you.

And suggest someone else, another brother of yours, to take your place.

Your brother is reluctant to accede to your request.

But, you mount pressure and tell him that you are not ready for the trip.

You come up with a thousand excuses why it is better to take your brother Derick on the trip instead of you.

Tired of your excuses and having made all the arrangements for the journey...

Your brother finally allow your other brother Derick to go on the journey to Europe in your place.

I am sure you are saying as you read that last piece.

"Nor be JUJU be dat?"

I am also certain you are saying to yourself: "God forbid! My head nor like good thing?"

But, crazy as it sounds...

What you have just read above is a true life story which happened recently.

The person in question is a single mother of 2 lovely children, a boy and a girl, who are presently in their teenage years.

Here is how it happened.

It was a few weeks to the inauguration.

There was so much uncertainty and fear in the air.

Then, out of the blues, came the offer for her to travel to Italy by her sister.

Rather than accept, this woman, I will refer to as Sandra, refused to accept the offer.

Instead, she told her sister whom I will refer to as Dorothy to take her brother in her place.

Dorothy was reluctant to take her brother James in place of Sandra.

Her mind was originally set on taking Sandra.

But, Sandra would not hear of it.

She argued and argued with her sister.

Unwilling to bulge, Sandra practically knelt down on phone and begged and begged and begged....

That Dorothy should take James.

I am sure you are saying: "Who does that? Is she under a spell?"

Tired of begging Sandra to travel, Dorothy decided to take James, her brother, in place of her.

Now, the economic situation in the country has become very bad and it is choking everyone.

Do you know what Sandra wants to do now?

She is now pleading with her sister to send her some money for her to use to start a small business.

As you must have guessed, Dorothy is very upset with Sandra.

And she refused to send money to her sister Sandra for anything, telling her that she is not serious with her life.

That is the golden opportunity that someone who appear to be sane through away in this season!

I learned about the.story from Sandra herself when she came to meet me for advice on the matter.

My response to her was simple: "You have made a very big mistake. You should have taken your sister's offer to travel abroad."

And do you know her reply?

She told me: "It is not only those who travelled that can make it."

You see?

The problem with Sandra in this story is nothing short of a one-letter word.

F E A R

That is what prevented her from accepting the offer of her sister to travel to Italy.

She did not want to leave her comfort zone.

By the way, this is not the first time she is getting a juicy offer like this one.

She has gotten it 3 times.

3 GOOD TIMES.

And she has also rejected it 3 times.

As you have seen, she claim it is not only those that travel out that are making it.

But...

Her sister who travelled has two houses in the community where they live.

Where are her own houses she who has not travelled?

No where to be found.

Apart from her clothes, some jewelries, Brazilian hair, and a few electronics, nothing.

So, what's the point of this story?

Fear is a very big enemy in the lives of many people.

It is usually what is keeping many people from achieving their fullest potential in life.

It is not any village people.

What about you?

Are you allowing fear to hold you down too?

If so...

Decide today to master and overcome your fear.

And you will be sure to begin excelling and achieving your fullest potential as quickly as possible.


P.S.
The economy has become hellish and highly unbearable.

This is no time to sit down with hand on the jaw and begin to recount our woes.

It is a time for taking massive action
