IMPACT
DRIVEN
LIFE
"If the world does not miss you when you die, then you were of no importance to it" - JOHN UWANGUE
There are three kinds of people on earth; there are those who are questioning the reason for their existence, there are those that just want to follow the pattern by just living through life while there are those that wants to leave their footprints on the sand of time (where do you belong). If the world does not miss you when you die then you were of no importance to it. You might have been created alone, you might have a different DNA, but you were not created for just yourself but for others. I see life as been created so that you too can create something good for others.
Impact can either be good or bad. But because i have positioned my mind and mentality not to focus on the bad things of life, this article is going to be about the "good" impact.
In Africa, people celebrate grey hairs, we celebrate old age, we celebrate experience, but whats the essence of living to the age of 120 when your life cannot be felt by others. There are different levels of impact; there is the level where your life can only be felt by yourself, another level is the level where your life can only be felt by your families and loved ones, there is another level where your life can only be felt by your community and state, there is another level of impact where your life can only be felt by your country, there is another level where your life can be felt by the whole world (this level makes one a global citizen), and there is the level of impact where your life is not only felt by your generation but generations unborn (I love this one).
I also want you to know that there is a difference between popularity and impact. You can be very famous but not living a life of impact, you can also be very rich and wealthy without living a life of impact. But you can't live a life of impact without been famous. Impact is touching the lives of others positively, impact is simply living for others. As a motivational speaker, i call myself a "no fee speaker", not because i have some billions to throw around neither is it because i am cheap but because i have a vision for life to raise one billion (1,000,000,000) African entrepreneurs directly in my life time. My vision is to eradicate poverty from Africa through entrepreneurship. So, when i organise seminars, conferences, or when i call churches, companies, NGOs to speak to their members, staffs, customers etc, i am not doing it out of desperation but out of a heart of love to impact others.
One of my greatest prayer as a christian is "lord stop blessing me if you won't bless Africa". A life of impact is far more beneficial and better than a life of golds and diamonds. But the truth is that you will never be able to make impact here on earth without a genuine heart of love for others. Living a life of impact is simply living a life of sacrifice; a life where you have to sacrifice your own comfort inorder for others to be comfortable. Like i always say, "true love forgets personal needs just to meet the needs of others".
Make your life be a blessing to someone else today. Stop living for just yourself and start living an impact driven life.
