In one minute you view yourself as very great personnel with great and unique potential, and the next minute you feel it will never be possible. Growing up with too many dreams and visions, and along the line your spirit begins to fail you; saying girl you can never get there, you just can’t reach the top, you have wasted a lot of your time and can’t achieve them anymore. You keep pressing on and on, yet Mr. Thought keeps bringing you down and it seems like a lost battle, because Mr. thought control it all.

Now the question is, in all of this who will you run to? So many people place their trust in their parent and others their friends and some few their love ones. Of a truth people may believe in you but it won’t work. The best believe that can work for you is the one you have in yourself. So many will say I believe in myself but my thought sometimes contradicts my believe: self- contradiction. If you believe you can make it, you definitely will. All you need do is to have control over Mr. Thought. The bible says that “as a thinketh in his heart so is he”. So many people fail today because they fail or refuse to control their negative thoughts. They incubate such thought in their heart and it hearts ugly fruits which will later on begin to manifest thereby leading to failure.

It is important for you to know that it is one thing for you to fail and another thing for you to fail forward. Ya! This is where giving up comes in. According to UCHE UGOCHUKWU FAVOUR; A man who can control his thoughts and fails to accept defeat is a man who is ready to show his greatness and potential to the world. So many great men and women we see today have failed in one area or the other, but you know what, they never gave upon that burning desire inside of them. They kept pressing and pressing until they achieved their goals.

The question is; will you accept defeat and allow Mr. Thought to deal with you for the rest of your life? So many will say, Favour, don’t you think it’s too late for me? Can I really do that at this stage of my life? Oh yes! Favour says you can. Your opportunity only ends in the grave. While you still have that breadth flowing in and out of your nostrils then you can still do something. I am born a writer and a speaker. But you know what? I failed in it and concluded that it wasn’t meant for me. I totally left it and became so empty. I was 22 and I began to see myself as a failure, a loser and a lazy jerk. Along the line, I realized that there is a man I needed to deal with to move on and improve on my skill and that’s Mr. Thought.

I talked to a friend who believed in me even when I didn’t believe in myself and he helped me with his words which brought back my confidence, that same confidence I had when I was a little girl. Then I realized that I have been cheated by Mr. Thought and he has robbed me of so many opportunities. Knowing that I have lost something, I carried out an evaluation and drafted out my strategies on how to move forward with Mr. Thought under my command. I said to myself “if Benjamin Carson can do it, then I can”.

This kept me going. I picked up my pen and allowed my creative spirit to be active; little did I know that I had written a whole lot on my paper. I smiled to myself and then I realized that the new me has emerged. It is important for you to know that the things you fail to put in place today will await you tomorrow. I started working on myself and putting my shattered dreams together.

Conclusively, believe in yourself and don’t allow the things going on around you to be a source of distraction to you. We are all born with gifts and great potentials to exhibit for the whole world to see. Control your thought and you will control the entire nation. Control your thoughts and you will control great multitudes. Think only on positive things and allow the negative thoughts to sleeps away.it might not look easy at first but as time goes on, difficulties will begin to give way for you to manifest because it just cannot hold you back or stop you.
