Take Extra Steps

The youth or adolescence of today coming from all walks of life will be the future generation. You are all born with talents, gifts and some knowledge. Some show these talents, gifts in early and late childhood and early or maybe even middle adolescence. However, there are times when these talents and gifts are not developed for varied reasons, like growing in a dysfunctional family, poverty, tragedy, loss, peer pressure, parental control, abusive environment, negative influences, medical conditions and other circumstances or issues. No matter what, you are the driver of your life. Do not be a pedestrian, a mediocre, an ordinary. Take an extra step by giving your all in everything you do, you say, you touch to be extra ordinary. Give your all wholeheartedly, to yourself, your family, your school work, your work, your friends, your hobbies. Have faith and believe in you for you have the potential within you by taking responsibility to know and build your character and develop your talents and gifts. Take the extra steps to be resourceful, knowledgeable in what you do and you will develop passion within you. When you have a conviction to give your all, you bring out the best in you and giving your all, believing in you, being passionate in what you do will make you confident; give you courage, determination, unfaltering spirit; find your inner strength and inner drive. Think, thank and appreciate the people who would influence, encourage and inspire you and always show your gratitude for what you have by being kind. 12/12/20 Your Advice To The Youth Poetry Edward Ibeh
