About yesterday at MAKE YOUR LIFE COUNT YOUTH EMPOWERMENT SUMMIT.

By Anonymous -

My session was precise, sharp and straight to the point. I tried to maximize the time given to me to inspire the youth on the need to be M.A.D - Make A Difference at all cost. Positive difference though😍

Using Psalm 90:12 as a scriptural reference that states "So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts♥ info wisdom", I reminded the youth that if they refuse to number their days through strategic planning, organization, proper goal setting, setting priorities etal, then their days will be numbered!

I encouraged them to start living each day as though it is their last. Why is this so? Not because of the fear of the event of death or eternity alone but because the assumption that you have 24HOURS TO LIVE OR FEW DAYS ON MORE TO LIVE, automatically put your life on autopilot!

That you know death is sure and each brand new day gravitates you to your grave;

- Helps you think😔 about your priorities
- Forces you to concentrate on the  most important things
- Forces you to make better choices
- Forces you to treasure each moment
- Helps you grab opportunities 
- Help you stop procrastinating and start reaching out to your dreams
- Help you live your life to the fullest
- Reminds you of how and where you will spend your eternity

Beyond the 24HOURS TO LIVE, I also explain what it takes to be M.A.D. viz;

- Not being scared to challenge the status quo
- Being willing to take a chance even when nobody is giving you the opportunity to try
- Making your own track
- Not doing what is popular but sticking to your calling
- Charting your own course and being the person God has made you to be

I added that most people are unhappy and frustrated today because they reject their own "youniquness" and try to be like the other person.

It takes courage & walking in love and being secured and not conforming to this world and living your purpose to make a mark in your generation!

I ended with Cecil Beaton's famour quote: "Be daring, be different, be impractical, be anything that will assert integrity of purpose and imaginative vision against the play-it-safers, the creatures of the common place, the slave of the ordinary."

It’s a brand-new era, an emergence of a new world order. We are in a season of spontaneous change, a dispensation of increase and newness. New vistas, new frontiers, new powers, globalization… A fresh dawn is right here for our lawn, scaring and starring at us. Like the breath of a fresh air, post Covid is here. All is come for our restart, replan and restrategy. To rethink and look back at our times of yore. Our struggles, pains, successes and failures. The ups and down, the conquest…and now the crown… Covid-19 came to obstruct, distruct, destruct, distract and distort our plans and programmes. We were all perplexed and swept under our feet without our consent. The entire world stood still and helpless at the face of a pandemic. The rich, the middle class, the poor and the proper paupers, the rich and advanced nations, the 3 rd world countries, the whites and the men of colour all in awe at the accompanied bedeviling nature of a pandemic. Suddenly, social-strata or call...
