GALANT STRIDES OF THE SUPERSTAR
We are familiar with the phrase “leaving footprints in the sands of time.” No one places footprints without making strides. To become a superstar, you have to make huge giant strides. People only follow footprints for generations because the prints are huge enough to be seen through the generations.
To be gallant means being fearless, daring and audacious. When a soldier goes to the war front, he goes to fight not because he has no fears. He acts like his fears don’t exist.
The challenges of becoming a superstar are huge and enormous. You have to set high goals and be ambitious. You’d face limitations and mountains. You thus have to be gallant.
It could be challenging to have these challenges as you quest towards super stardom. So many persons have had this quest but when they got to the place of their challenge they gave up. They were unprepared for the challenge.
The route to becoming a superstar isn’t a rosy one. You have to be determined, keep pushing against the limitations. Build confidence for every limitation you meet and they’d naturally give way.
Because superstars develop a huge capacity against limitations, they find it easy to carry out huge tasks that the average man can’t. It is this capacity that makes people look at them in awe.
Perfect the art at what you do. It is prowess and proficiency at what you do that steers you away from the competition. This however doesn’t arrive over a day’s work. This perfection arrives over a period of time. You thus can create records and unique styles that others can follow. Lead.
If you don’t move, no one becomes acquainted with your capacity. Your strides will remain unknown if you stand at one place. It only reveals yourself when you walk. Your capacity and ability will remain unseen if there is no action to show it. Don’t just claim you have capacity, show it by doing it. It is only when you do that you become appreciated for it.
How huge you become is very much dependent on you taking each present step irrespective of the huge limitations that may characterize it. Time arrives for your capacity when it becomes too huge that it cannot be overlooked.
Many superstars share stories of how they were considered not good enough when they started out in the direction of their status. Their feet couldn’t make any impact when they started out but they kept at making the impress until suddenly they made one major impress that meant so much.
When a superstar is at work, the difference reveals itself. It is clear. In musical events, the superstar performer is often kept for last. However well other stars perform, everyone is expectant of the superstar. As soon as the superstar arrives on stage, the crowd goes gaga erupting in enormous joy. Whatever little the superstars perform is seen in a great light because of the reputation he has built over time.
Hope to be followed, don’t follow. Find an original you. It starts from bit by bit action even if the difference you initially make is little.
To make gallant strides means to do beyond expectations. Don’t just accept to do it, offer a surprise package while doing. Go the extra mile, build a reputation, which is what counts after all. It is the more you do better than others that show you are better than they are.
Superstars work hard to make change happen. You don’t just pass through a place; look out for what you can do to add value. Spend resources time and effort to make the place more valuable than you met it. Those at that place will attest to a superstar having arrived.
The giant strides of a superstar make him a builder. Build ideas from zero and make yourself a hero of ideas. Build solutions. Find out areas where there is a great need and resolve to solve them in the most lasting way.
Dinosaurs had existed thousands of years ago. They are now extinct. However, we have an idea that those animals existed because of their huge foot prints that we still find today. They’ve not being covered by times sands
Giant strides are the ones which become footprints in the sands of time. Footprints don’t stay long on the sands except it is wide and deep enough to last through the winds and dust that blow across it. It takes great labor to leave this kind of prints. Nelson Mandela changed not just his country South Africa fighting apartheid; he changed the world because he paid the sacrifice to stop apartheid. He went to prison for it but it was a prison worth it.
Everyone makes strides but when it is gallant, it is different. Don’t just want to do it like everyone will. Everyone gets the same result for what everyone does. A man who chooses to be different makes all the difference.
Society celebrates those who will act and make a huge difference. What society celebrates is the difference. When you can find that difference that works even if the generally accepted works too, you get people to follow you.
Start walking and working now. Don’t just sit idle and expect to climb up to superstar status. The status only arrives when you work and walk the giant strides.
