Cobhams is a producer. Although he is blind, his mind's eyes give him direction at all times. Another Nigerian, Yinka Ayefele sings with passion and a voice that lifts someone's soul from his wheel chair. His leg may not be functioning, but his talent is taking him to places at home and abroad.
John Foppe, a world renowned motivational speaker has no hands. He develops himself so much that he uses his leg to drive his car. His core message is that there is ability in disability.
In the context of this article, a disable is someone who is not using his talents to make a positive difference in the world. Nobody is disabled except the person who has not discovered his place in the world.
What limits you is you. There are no limits anywhere. We only have limits in our minds, based on how we have been conditioned from childhood. When you don't challenge your proposed limits, you will limit your ability to perform and achieve extra ordinary results that are mind blowing.
Develop your talents. I was called upon to address some physically challenged teenagers at the Aspire Viewing Center of the Future Awards 2009. I challenged the participants to take charge of their destiny in spite of their disability.
You are here on a mission. I told participants that they are created to solve a problem, and not to be a problem to others. In other words, there is something only you can do. There is a problem that only you can solve. There is a solution that only you can provide. You need to uncover all your latent talents.
Don't limit yourself. If you don't limit yourself, then nobody can limit you. No one can limit you without your own permission. Do all it takes to achieve your dreams. Fly. If you can't fly, run. If you can run, walk. If you can't walk, crawl. If you can't crawl, get someone to carry you. By every positive means, make something of your life.
I concluded my motivation speech with those that are physically challenged, inspired to make a difference in their world. They were screaming "I am a winner, I am unstoppable, and I am the future" with enthusiasm. At the end of my speech, my friend Denrele Edun of Sound city was around signing autographs for participants.
Discover the real you. Who you are today may be a shadow of the real you. The real you is a champion. The real you is a celebrity. The real you is a superstar. The real you is a hero. The real you is a winner. The real you is unstoppable. You may not look like a success now, but time will reveal the real you.
Create the future you want. Everybody leaves either by default or by design. Living by default means living your life the way it comes. If you wake up in the morning without a plan of how to spend that day, then you will be on the receiving end in the sense that things will happen to you.
Make things happen. You can either be the object or the subject in life. When you are the subject, you determine what exactly you want. You create the circumstances that you desire. When you are the object, someone else is in charge of your life. Decide to happen to things. Don't wait for things to happen to you.
Believe in yourself. You already have all it takes to make your life better. It is not the things that you don't have that limits you, but the things you have that you are not using. You don't need to wait for anybody’s encouragement before you succeed. Encourage yourself. Celebrate yourself. Reward yourself.
Be in charge of your life. Your life is your life, and when you don't decide the kind of life you want to live, the society will decide it for you. Learn to live your own life positively. You can inspired by others. You can learn from others. But when you begin to look at other people's life to determine your own, you are trying to become another person, and not you.
Focus on what you have. The way to become successful is by capitalizing on those things that you already have to live a better life. What you don't have, you don't have. So it is important to commercialize what you have a natural flair for. If you like to sing, you can make money from singing.
Get customers. The profit you will earn from developing your natural endowment and making it profitable is dependent on how effective you are at getting people to be interested in your product/ services.
Learn to advertise. Let people know what you have to offer you and they will patronize you.
Take action. Marketing yourself is not about knowing what you can do to make money alone. You have to wake up earlier make some calls, some handbills and send some e-mails. By all means, market your skill, and then you will smile to the bank.
