Many a purpose have been truncated because the visionary turned their attention from fulfilling their purpose to commercialising their gift. Purpose is using your gifts and your talents to improve lives and society. Financial gain is an offshoot of pursuing your purpose, it is not the goal. Unfortunately, many today are more focused on what they can give to get money and fame rather than what they can do to make a difference, improve lives and leave a legacy. Personally, I am very concerned about the way most youths are primarily seeking ways to monetize their gifts because this limits their creativity to just what they can do to make money and become famous. For a developing continent like Africa, that is not music to the ears at all. Only selfless pursuit can bring about lasting impact. When you seek to improve the community by doing whatever you focus on with excellence, people will naturally gravitate towards exceptional passion. Fleeting success is based on financial pursuit. Lasting success is based on having the kind of impact that can change the narrative wherever you are and on whomever you come in contact with. Many have left their footprints in the sands of time not because of their wealth but because of their creative, innovation and their inventions. Enjoy your weekend!
AFRICA IS A CONTINENT ON THE MOVE AND HER YOUTHS ARE HER GREATEST RESOURCE."We cannot always build a future for our youth, but we can always build our youth for the future."Franklin D. Roosevelt. 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.
