Every man is pregnant with something! There is something inside of you that the whole world is waiting for. In the spiritual, everybody has a ‘womb’ to carry what God has deposited into them.You uniquely created to serve a purpose on earth. You must be conscious of the vision and purpose you carry inside of you. The day you realise how valuable you are and that you are the solution to a problem, you will be excited about the difference you can make in other’s lives. What form of vision do you carry within you? Until you birth your vision, you are still owing the world a debt!

You cannot birth what you cannot conceive and in order to birth it, you have to first conceive it. Everything you are seeing today was first conceived in the mind of someone. As long as your mind can conceive it, you are capable of birthing it. Napoleon Hill said, “Cherish your visions and dreams as they are the children of your soul, the blue print of your ultimate achievements.’’

You are surrounded by problems that need your uniqueness to provide a solution. Every successful person proffers a solution to a problem. Do you know that the Coca-Cola you are drinking today was someone else’s vision many years ago? John Pemberton was pregnant with a magic drink and invented Coca Cola in May 1886, in Atlanta Georgia; Thomas Edison was pregnant with the light bulb; Adolf and Rudolf Dassler were pregnant with Adidas; Alexander Graham Bell was pregnant with the Telephone; Mark Zuckerberg was pregnant with Facebook ;Bill gate was pregnant with Microsoft ; Leonardo Da Vinci was pregnant with the ‘Mona Lisa’; Colonel Harland Sanders was pregnant with Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC); George and Laszlo Biro were pregnant with the idea of the first ball point pen called ‘Biro’; Alexander Fleming was pregnant with the revolutionary drug-Penicillin; Chinua Achebe was pregnant with ‘Things Fall Apart’, the most widely read book in modern African literature; Dmitry Mendeleev was pregnant with the Periodic Table, a table that later revolutionize the study of Chemistry!

Some people are pregnant with books, some with messages, some with songs, some with ideas and innovations, some with cures for various illnesses; some are pregnant with architectural designs. The question to ask yourself is this: what am I pregnant with? It is so poignant and pathetic to know that that some people still carry what was meant to bless the world into the grave! That was why Les Brown said, “The graveyard is the richest place on earth, because it is here that you will find all the hopes and dreams that were never fulfilled, the books that were never written, the songs that were never sung, the inventions that were never shared, the cures that were never discovered, all because someone was too afraid to take that first step, keep with the problem, or determined to carry out their dream.”

Frederick Buechner said: “The place God calls you is the place where your deep gladness and world’s deep hunger meet”.Stop living a casual life and start living intentionally. What idea has God given you to nurture? What novel initiative are you meant to bless the world with? Don’t allow that vision to die inside of you. Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you”. The Bible says in Romans 8:19 that the whole world is waiting earnestly for the manifestation of the sons of God. There are millions of lives that are linked to your vision.The world is just waiting for you to birth your vision. There is a gift in you trying to find expression; there is a passion in you that’s struggling to express itself. There are potentials in you waiting to be unleashed. Live your life with the consciousness that you carry what the world is waiting for. Don’t carry your dreams and vision to the grave!

I want you to know that you were born to do more than just go to work, pay bills, and die. Stop living casually; those that live casually end up becoming casualties in life! What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived; it is what difference we have made to the life of others. Jimmy Carter, former United States President once said, “I have one life and one chance to make it count for something. My faith demands that I do whatever I can, wherever I can, for as long as I can with whatever I have to try to make a difference”. Never underestimate the difference you can make in the life of others. Whatever you do, make a difference. Don’t be a ‘waste’ in your generation. You were born to birth a vision;justify your existence. Henry David Thoreau said, “When it is time to die, let us not discover that we have never lived”.

As a youth coach, I have observed many youths working aimlessly at their prime age without any tangible reasons for their existence. In order to help youths have impact in their communities, we must first help them discover themselves as there is no recovery without discovery. Don’t be deceived into thinking that you have all the time because if you do not find your vision early in life, you will become an omission in your generation. The earlier you realise your place in life, the more fulfilled and impactful you will be. Jim Rohn said, “If you don’t design your own life plan, chances are you’ll fall into someone else’s plan. And guess what they have planned for you? Not much”.
