It is time to rise up, we arise to arrive, we need to unveil our faces and see beyond the present, we need to rise above our limitations. We can't reach that destination if we are still on a spot wandering around and expecting an instant miracle to happen.

It is high time men started taking responsibility, and be accountable for what happens in their lives. I've met people who blame their circumstances for who they are, their present status in a way has put them in a state of confusion and can no longer decide how they can effect a positive change in their world.

Life most times don't bring what we deserve, in fact God will not promise a smooth journey but a safe landing. So despite all life challenges and problems it is expected of us to see life in a positive perspective and rise above our limitations. In the Nigeria system of education, many are in school but don't really understood what they could do, what their passion really is but are struggling with their contemporaries running the race. Life race will only be easy if truly we don't understand where we are going. No man is talentless,giftless or without purpose most assuredly in the journey of life “if a man doesn't know why he is created, He isn't fit to live’’ Martin Luther.

What gives meaning to life is the discovery of why it is created, any tool or substances has it own purpose and significance in the world, We cannot keep blaming our circumstances if we are only existing and not living. This is what brings meaning to life.

A compatriot is focused and intelligent, He understood the exact time to answer call, He serves and lead with the aim of developing leaders and generation to come, He is not selfish, Greedy but possesses the ‘Love of the spirit’. With love, strength, and faith he could soar higher to reach the height destined for him. He doesn't complain but he smile and learn per time even when he is failing.

This is the time for our youths to rise, and take responsibility. Time to dream and think big. The younger generations out there are waiting for you, The zeal of excellence lies within you. It doesn't matter where you are or the challenges you are facing right now, what really matters is your attitude towards every situation and the way you could picture the future.

Let's feel your presence.

I challenge you today to take responsibility for your life.

Impact your world positively, every generation needs a re-generation.

Peace.
