The illusion of the Black man's dreams.

**As an average African, you want to travel someday to the United States because you see it as "God's own country", of course it is but have you ever sat down to wonder why some Americans are even poorer than expected? Do you know that in that "God's own country", where you dream of traveling to in search of greener pastures, there is just one free born individual that doesn't think making it in life and becoming rich is non negotiable because of the singular fact that he is an American in an enabling environment?

You see, I enlighten people from time to time about opportunity. Opportunity doesn't Announce its arrival, neither does it come with fanfare, instead, it comes and occurs like everyday occurrences. As a matter of fact, opportunity is similar to illusion. It is what we make out of these everyday occurrences that we refer to as opportunities when we finally get rewarded. The young man in America doesn't see the fact that he is born there as an automatic yardstick to be an instant success. He instead sees it as a normal thing but you as an African living in Africa knows better. Don't you? Hmmmm!

Henceforth, I hope you would start picturing opportunities in every occurrence. #DreamBigAlways**
