I recently saw a movie where a guy was going from one audition to another trying to get a music contract and he met a girl in the process who was also looking for a way to get into the movie industry. They both tried very hard but nothing significant was forthcoming and it was at a very point that the girl told the guy to stop auditioning and start something himself. These were very talented people who put their lives on hold doing menial jobs around the entertainment industry just to get roles and fulfil their dreams. This is the situation with a lot of us, we are talented and hardworking but the opportunities a few and far between, that is if we ever even get them. Many youths find themselves going in circles until they eventually arrive at old age with nothing but their dreams. If we ever intend to make our story count, we have to stop auditioning for roles that are tailored by society and others. When opportunities do not open for you in the traditional way, passion for your dreams should help you create opportunities. Many give up and fit into the moulds that life creates for them and finish life wishing that they achieved their dreams. Do not allow your environment and other limitations put you on lock down, if your do not lose your steam, you will be able to see ways of creating opportunities where no one else is aware of them. In the same Africa where everything seems to be stagnated or retrogressing, those with a passion for her growth and development are finding ways to make things work. Until you see that the achievement of your dream is not tied to a geographical location or the approval of certain society or group of individuals, you will waste your talent and purpose auditioning when you could be making history. Enjoy your day!

MentorAfrica looks to help youths, through various life transition mentoring topics, to prepare youths for development and leadership that will help them change the African narrative whenever the opportunity arises.
