One man can change the world.
How often we are lost to this phrase "one man can change the world" thinking it’s possibly not about you. How many times I just read this sentence and let it linger in the back of my head, as I feign ignorance of its meaning.
How many times I have given a million excuses about things I should be doing, things I should have done that when I look back I wished I had done a plethora of things right. From the people I met, to those I wanted to get intimate with, from the little choices down to the little results of life.
Sometimes we feel this phrase refers to people like Denzel washinton or Oprah Winfrey or Mark Zuckerberg one of those rich people always popping up on big screens, they wear best designer clothes. The truth is, you dont need a billion to change the world around you, its by little ordinary deeds.
I could remember watching a football match , with some of my friends. It was 78 minutes until they brought in this guy I called bolaji, his legs were like ball magnate, even when everywhere was flooded with water, his heavy shots rang pass the defenders reminding them that he was danger, and that a goal was brewing. Finally a free kick from his legs, sealed a draw, and he scored again, ensuring a win for his club. It was so obvious and glaring that without this man in this football match, his team would have lost. He has played a role in this football match that left an imprint in so many hearts like mine.

| one man can change the world |
What would the world loose in your absence? What is that thing that bears your name to it? What is that role that you know, with your eyes closed you were born to do?
What are you bringing to the table that can alter someone’s life that can give hope to the hopeless, breath life to the dying, give light to a dark heart? The world is watching, the future is waiting for the glory in your story. The glory is not in falling prey to the hurdles of life, it’s in using the hurdles as a stepping stone.
Make no mistake, a plethora of excuses won’t change the story, or change the world. It’s a little action, a little more hope, just a little more light in dark places that turns the ordinary to extraordinary.
We have been born for a purpose, let your story change this world, let the deeds of your actions change the world of men. Are you the defender, or the attacker? Do you even know your role? Have you decided to be an empty space in this game of life, even when you occupy a space, have you decided to sleep through the course of your life.
