SAFE SPACES FOR YOUTH TO EXPRESS THEIR UNIQUENESS (Part One)



The glory of every youth lies in their strengths.

Your fingerprint is exceptional and sets you apart from any other personality. You're uniquely and wonderfully made. You're ordained for exploits.

The greatest gift you can give to humanity is selfless service and sacrifice of resourcefulness and that's what will determine your uniqueness.

Global Changers are not noise makers, they are news makers.

There are lots of spaces that youth can occupy in their communities and countries but it is a great pity to see so many of them living average lives instead of expressing their ultimate uniqueness.

And they can discover this wondrous paths by embracing lifestyles of resourcefulness.

On this note and at this juncture, I will be showing you few ways of maximizing opportunities and spaces available for you as a youth.

First of all is to stay relevant. Discover what you can do to make significant impact. What are you so passionate about? It is what will be driving you. If you're not passionate about doing anything, it will only reduce your rate of being influential and living phenomenal. Everyone of us have one or two gifts or talents that make us very special. The more we use them the more space we fill. And the more fulfil we feel.

Secondly, be visionary. You need to be driven by a compelling vision. The BIGGER your vision, the higher you attain great zeniths of greatness. Don't wait until you have the privilege of having millions, start with what you have. Start with a vision inside your mind. Start with an idea. You need idea to rule the world. What you see is who you become. If you see yourself as a grasshopper that's who you'll eventually become.

Thirdly, be a solution provider or carrier. The more problem you solve, the more valuable and preferable you become. You won't be a liability but an asset. There are deluge of problems in your community and country. Step up from your slumber or better still do more of what you do the most. You can solve the problem of transportation, education, ICT and the likes.
