Good evening .

There's this thought that has been running through my mind lately,

And it is about something that has a strange power to shape your mind, your belief systems and your life in general.

This thing affected me for a long while before I began to notice it, 

And it has probably been affecting you too without you knowing, 

Heck, it is the main reason why your life is the way it is now (whether good or bad). 

The funny thing is that, this thing if properly channelled, can be the difference between living an average life and living a successful and fulfilling life.

In just a moment, I will get to it.

But here's some advice I wish I was given years before now that I want to give you now.

,

Start taking your life seriously.

You're not too young to do that. 

Yes, you may still be young at the moment,

But you won't be young forever.

You may think you still have a lot of time, which may be true, 

But sometimes, life comes at you so fast and hard that you won't notice how much time you have wasted, 

All because you didn't take your life seriously. 

Don't let life take you unawares.

There's nothing wrong with you starting to do big things at an early age.

Not to pressure you or anything, but there are folks who are much younger than you who are already taking this generation by storm.

It's not until you get to 30 or 40 years that you will begin to make impact.

In your own little way, start making impact with your talent or skill.

Whether it is writing, drawing, singing, public speaking, teaching, whatever,

Just start making impact now.

And soon you will be amazed at how far you have come, mostly because you started early.

Think Of Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg and the likes.

One of the advantages that they had is that they started their journey of Impact on time and they quickly figured out their purpose in the process.

Fair warning though, when you begin to take your life seriously, 

• You will lose some friends, 

• Some people will laugh at you, 

• Some will tell you that you are too serious, 

• Heck, some people will mock you and make fun of you,

And it's okay really,

Because the journey of Impact and Purpose is not meant to be a group journey. 

It's a personal journey. 

Besides, the journey wouldn't really be worth it if you didn't pass through all these things.

Don't you think?

Let me stop here for now, 

Just think long and hard about it and start taking the necessary actions okay?

That settled, I wanted to talk about something that shapes your mind, your belief systems and your life in general.

Basically, the reason why your life is the way it is.

And what is this thing? 

It's your environment. 

The impact our environment has on our lives is very underrated, 

Your environment here could be your physical environment, or your social environment (people around you). 

If you really think about it, your environment is what determines your beliefs, your values, your mindset, your behavior, your exposure, your impact, your potential and virtually everything about you. 

Let me give you an example. 

Imagine Mark Zuckerberg grew up in Africa, specifically in Nigeria, and he had the idea of creating Facebook, 

Tell me. 

Do you think the project would have seen the light of day? Not to mention getting to the level where Facebook (now Meta) is now? 

I think we both know the answer to that question. 

But what do you think was the major catalyst to the realization, execution and success of that idea he had? 

You're right. 

It's the environment. 

A healthy seed planted in a hostile soil will most likely not germinate or yield much. 

But a not so healthy seed in a rich, fertile soil has more potential to germinate give good yield. 

So if you want to change the results you are getting, you may need a change in environment. 

There is a reason why rich people don't stay in the same area as middle class and poor people. 

And it's because the environment is just not suitable for them. 

Same way, a poor man can't live in a "rich people" environment. 

He simply won't last long there. 

I hope you understand where I'm driving towards now.  

There is also one huge part of your life that your environment affects. 

This part is the needle mover of your life and just as well, determines how you live your life. 

And that is what I will be talking about in tomorrow's mail. 

I have done the Lord's work for today. 

Till tomorrow when we meet. 

To your digital success,
