Just when we think we have had enough inspiration to help us through the week from Anita Okoye, popular Nigerian comedian Ali Baba has dished out some inspirational quotes.
“Do you want to blame others for your failure? ITS YOUR FAILURE. It’s not their failure. You are the first beneficiary of your success“, Ali Baba writes on Instagram.
The comedian advised that people shouldn’t hold themselves back with excuses as “there are people worse off, than you are, that are making it”
“Be inspired by your dreams“, the comedian urges. He went ahead to share the lyrics of an old song that correlates with his inspirational message.
Read his inspirational message here:
“You owe yourself your life. Some time ago @snoopdogg, while accepting his Hollywood #walkofFame, thanked himself. Many were surprised. But that is the naked truth.
“Do you want to blame others for your failure? ITS YOUR FAILURE. It’s not their failure. You are the first beneficiary of your success.
“There are people worse off, than you are, that are making it. And you are holding yourself down with excuses, yet you possess things that would even have been a miracle for someone else.
“You need to see people who can’t walk hustle to make it. And you have 2 legs, functioning, you are not a Marathon runner, not a long jumper, a model, footballer, dancer,… just name it.
“What connections did Joseph have in Egypt? He was sold as a slave by his family. Jailed on top.
“The woman with the issue of blood had a reason to stay away from people but did not let that hold her down. She could smell her cure… through her faith. But her faith alone didn’t heal her. She worked it out. If she had Faith and sat at home, she would still have had faith. but she made a move.
Lyrics of an old school song says:
So many times
By holding back I let the good things pass me by
And then one day I asked myself the reason why
And like an answer from above you came into my life
And showed me one thing for sure
With love nothing is certain
You got to go for it when you feel it
Everybody, everybody needs somebody to love
And I choose you, baby, so let’s
Make that move right now, baby
You only go out once in a lifetime
Make that move right now,
If you are waiting for others to succeed, it may happen, but might take a while.
Be inspired by your dreams. And people who made it by working hard and working things out.
Start anywhere.
Start on the 7th at #insphigherconference if you haven’t.
Don’t let anything hold you back.
