The world owes you nothing. But you owe yourself the responsibility to make something meaningful out of the life you have been given.
No matter where you come from, you can become whatever you aspire to be—if you possess the courage to begin, the determination to continue, the discipline to work hard, the purpose to stay focused, and the faith to keep believing.
Stop blaming family members, friends, and society for your circumstances. Stop waiting for someone to rescue you. There is dignity in labor, honor in self-reliance, and greatness in perseverance.
You do not have to be born with a ‘Silver Spoon’ to eat with one.
Perhaps one of Liberia’s most compelling examples is President Joseph Nyuma Boakai Sr , who rose from humble beginnings to become the First Citizen of the Republic of Liberia. His revealing life’s story reminds us that where you start does not have to determine where you finish.
Your background is not your destiny.
Your circumstances are not your ceiling.
Your beginning is not your end.
Stand up. Work hard. Build character. Stay disciplined. Find your purpose. Hold on to your faith—and fight for the life you desire.
If others have risen from humble beginnings to accomplish great things, so can you.
The spoon may not have been given to you. Go and earn it, I charge you.
I wish you a blessed weekend!
