The Spark Within: A Journey to Your Star

Long ago, in a village nestled beneath the watchful gaze of the African sky, a young seeker named Ayo asked the village elder, “How do I find my way to success?”

The elder, wise and weathered like the ancient Baobab tree, smiled and said, “Ayo, success is like a star in the night sky. It shines brightly, but it does not come to you. You must rise, find your own inner spark, and chart your path towards it.”

He continued, “First, you must decide *which star* calls to you. This is your goal. Then, plan your steps – each day, each week – to move closer to your star. Measure your progress, track your journey, and work with the energy of a focused flame. There is no magic, no secrets… just effort.

He told him, “It is not enough to think it and dream it in your mind, you must wake up, and get dressed for it. You must speak it to the world with every post, every story, every email, every interaction with those around you. If you do not share what you want to become with others, how can they know what to support and encourage? It is only when you tell the world what your vision is that they can provide support on that path.”

He then told him, “Remember, Ayo, you only reach the goals that you define. Be sure those goals shine with the light of health, the warmth of prosperity, and the depth of wisdom. Let those be the guiding lights as you move towards your star. For a journey with only one of these pillars is a difficult journey indeed.”
