DEDICATION
Lots of people have told their success stories and the hidden failures in the stories.
So many of these stories are anchored on one word DEDICATION.
I have not paid much attention to the word and what it implies not until I saw the image below.
Discussing purpose brought me to this point. I searched for the meaning of the word on dictionary, I also went through the internet to see what I could get.
Guess what?
To dedicate is to give a lot of time and effort to a particular activity or PURPOSE because you think it's important.
Dedication also on the other hand is the hard work and effort that somebody puts into an activity or PURPOSE because they think it is important.
Wow!!!
Committing to your PURPOSE till it turns out a reality because you believe in it and because it is dear/important to you.
Sincerely, it rang in my mind that why a lot of people have not really achieved their purpose or targets in life is that they have not seen how important it is for them to commit to it.
If they had known the why of their purpose, commitment or dedication will come naturally. We are yet to understand the importance of our purpose, dreams, visions, desires.
Let's say someone is going to take a huge sum of money away from you if you don't finish the book you are writing, psychologically the writing of the book becomes the most important thing to you that moment. You do anything to see that you make it happen before the deadline.
You just want to win the prize and you dedicate/commit to work because you know how much you need the money or you know the reason behind the purpose.
So I would say on my own that once you catch a dream, vision or define a purpose, first find the reason to stay on it till it is done.
Fund the importance of the purpose, let it occupy your mind to make you work hard to achieve your goals.
If it is not important, it is not worth your commitment or dedication.
I discussed my love for teenagers and how I want to change their lives.
I started writing a book of all that has happened in my life to share with them (teens).
A long the line as I go to schools to speak to these teens, I found out that I have been able to raise their appetit to read but none of them has the money to get a book.
In other not to frustrate my effort, I took some money and I bought some books (Gifted hands, Things fall apart and think Big) and gave to these teens.
When I was out of money, I went to my library and took out some of my books and gave to these teens.
Yesterday, one of them told me that he saved up some money to buy two other books to add to the one I gave to him.
Hearing that testimony gave me unmeasurable joy that out of the 43 teens I gave my books at least one of them has been able to finish the book and bought some for himself.
I saw the importance to impact and I focused on achieving it not minding the heaviness of my pocket.
Dedication keeps the risks out of sight and positions the possibilities of achieving your dreams.
Can't stop saying it find a reason why , make it important to you and you will achieve anything.
If it is important to me then I can put in anything to achieving it.
Get a purpose, commit to it and success becomes your story.
