Whatever it takes, that was the place I was at in my life. I had decided that no matter what I was going to push on and make it through life. And in all of it, whatever it takes was what I was to do to get there. Such determination, is what wakes me up every day to push forward. I am ever determined to see a better tomorrow unfold before my eyes, but it has to take all of my strength.
Truth is our dreams are birthed in the presence of many obstacles, and while we pursue their existence we also have to deal with the many gray areas that make it hard to dream or to chase after some dreams. Yet, we still dare to dream. So I embarked on finding out what " whatever it takes" looks like in my world and here it is;
1. God; whatever it takes, was God! I was going to anchor God at the center of my dreams. Knowing above it all, was God and his will for my life. I don't want to attain anything outside the will of God and much less anything against God. So if it took God, I was going to have God to get there.
2. My attitude; I choose to be positive even when the reality of my circumstances said different.It was either that I be positive in moving forward or positive in standing still. The journey to our dreams and success sometimes gets stagnant and we are held by many things in one place but I was determined to see to it that I move forward regardless of what the circumstance looked like, I chose to believe that I can beat the odds of life and that is the attitude I want to carry in doing whatever it takes.
3. My networks; there is something about a persistent person that I like, they are the real proof of not giving up as easy as giving up sounds. And that is why at all cost, I can push my networks to keep trying to get me somewhere so that I can be able to develop myself through the numerous ways they mold me. My networks have been my knowledge banks to learning in areas I lacked and they taught me the face of "keep going, we are here for you"
4.My quenched desire for better; there is always a gap that lingers in our dreams, the desire for better. I have wanted and desired to be a better version of me every rising day. It is called hope I guess...hope that things will turn out well.That has been far determinant in helping me to push for whatever it takes to do what I do and how I do it.
Therefore; from the far end of the story, I can really say I did whatever it took to get there. Granted that I am not there yet but trust that I have come along way to reach here. It looks good from where I am standing. It looks promising and I am doing whatever it takes.
