Be your own Miracle. By Dr. Francis Okpareke


Everyday I hear and see countless stories of people who by sheer determination and resilience have catapulted themselves to incredible heights. They took bold steps. Swam against the tide of fate. Became affirmative in their resolve and shunned every distractions.

I am talking about real people that have become nothing short of a miracle by the measure of success they have achieved. They have lifted their families out of perennial poverty. Scaled new heights in their career. Pivoted into new career pathways and are blazing the trail for others to follow. These ones are proof that diligent enterprise births evidential results.
I pray tell, how do you define a miracle better than this. That a person from a poor background, whose family lives in a mud house, secures a life changing offer abroad that will change the story of every member of their family. Or how can you explain that the child of a poor farmer for many years is now a Director in a Fortune 100 company in the United States. Or the story of my father who could not afford a decent education, have his son conferred a DoctorateBe your own Miracle.

Everyday we draw breathe is a chance to create a miracle out of ourselves. A miracle that will surprise you by redefining what is achievable. A miracle that will make you take bold steps and shutt out naysayers. A miracle that cancels generational poverty and stagnation. A miracle that begins with you.
Miracles are not in the big things. They are in the little and seemingly inconspicuous wins. Like when I paid and boarded my first local flight more than a decade ago. This would be my catalyst for international travel. A miracle is when a person that graduated with a pass, takes professional courses and now works in Amazon as a Senior Project Manager. Or the story of the akara seller, that went back to school to study accounting and now works in Deloitte in the UK.
Surprise yourself by becoming your own miracle. Open your blind eyes of self doubt. Walk on waters of self limitation. Turn your water to wine by putting in work and make every excuse that makes you lame, walk. Create your own miracle.
Nothing will happen, till you happen. degree in a top institution abroad.
