 
 <prompt> The world dey value people wey dey work and you go spend plenty time for your life dey work, so you need to find something wey you love or find a way to do your work wey go make you happy. Consider the things wey you dey passionate about. If you dey into social justice, try get law or social science degree and work for nonprofit organization. If music dey your thing, you fit start music camp for disadvantaged children or do music therapy for people wey dey die. If you dey work wey you hate, start find another one. You no need to quit immediately, e dey good make you get another job before you quit the first one. E dey better make you dey open-minded about the kind of jobs wey you fit see, because you no know wetin fit dey around the corner. If you dey for difficult job wey you no fit leave, try find ways to make am easier. If you get difficult boss, annoying customers, or work wey dey very boring, try find creative solutions to these challenges. For example: for boring work, try come up with reasons why the work dey important (you dey feed people, you dey clean up after people, you dey help people get loans so dem fit get better life!). Remind yourself of these reasons when the job dey stress you. While plans fit change quick quick, you need set goals wey you wan achieve. You need work towards these goals despite the other things wey dey happen for your life. Make you get list of goals, arrange them from the most important to the least. These goals fit be things like: run 10k marathon, land job for publishing house, make constellation quilt for king-sized bed. Work hard towards your goals. If you wan work for publishing, no just dey look job opportunities half-heartedly. Find out wetin you need to do to get the job wey you want. Get the degrees and experience wey you need, look for internships and entry-level positions, show say you dey ready to go extra mile. Make sure say you get specific plans on how to achieve your goals and the time-frame wey you wan achieve them. This no mean say you no fit adjust the time-frame or the goals, or say things no fit change. E mean say you dey focused and fit show your achievements. For example: if you wan run that 10k marathon, you need pick the right time and place. You need set specific time-frame for training. How far and how fast you need to fit run? And when? You dey prepared for the marathon? You don sign up for am? Each time you tick one of these off your list, you dey closer to your goal and you go feel accomplished. Refer back to your goals and time-frame every month. Wetin you still need to achieve? Wetin you need adjust to make things easier? Wetin don change since your last check-in and wetin you don achieve since then? Visualization fit sound like something wey no serious, but e don show say e dey effective. Na technique wey many famous people don use to help themselves succeed, including Mohammad Ali. Visualization fit help your brain prepare for the actual physical act, whether e be getting pay raise or asking that fine boy out. The practice of visualization fit help increase your confidence, your motivation, and help set you up for success. Every night, before you sleep, sit up straight and visualize yourself succeeding for your goals and your life. Visualize these things as if you dey there (getting the raise, giving successful speech, asking the girl out). Use your five senses: wetin e dey smell like? Wetin sounds you fit hear? Who dey there with you? Wetin you dey wear? Every night wey you do this, combine am with positive affirmation: "I dey super confident," "I dey make great publishing assistant," "I dey amazing runner." When you dey strive for greatness, you need take time to recognize and celebrate the things wey you don achieve. E no need to be big, life-changing events. Quiet, simple events like "successfully keep my house clean for 3 months straight" dey count, too. Think back over the last 24 hours. Wetin be your greatest achievement for that time? E fit be something as simple as "make delicious and nutritious dinner" or something as big as "no give up on dancing." Creativity na key to success for your life and greatness dey come from creativity. E dey come from having flexibility of mind to consider other options apart from the ones wey dey obvious. People wey dey use creativity for their lives dey find am easier to deal with obstacles. Think outside the box. People dey always dey think about how to use certain things. Look the objects for your house and come up with different uses for them to make your brain dey look at things differently. For example, you fit build terrarium out of clear plastic c.d. case fronts. One thing wey dey kill creativity na fear of failure. To avoid this, consider obstacle or problem without any limitations. These questions fit help open you up to different possibilities: "if I fit ask anybody for help for the world, who I go ask? If I get access to any tools, wetin I go use? Wetin risky solution I go try if no possibility for failure?" Daydream. This process fit help form connections and recall information, instead of just being mindless activity. Set time make your mind wander fit help you get better and more creative ideas. You fit daydream while you dey take walk, before you sleep for night, or even for few minutes for work. If you wan be great for your own mind and your own life, you need dey willing to take risks and dey ready for the possibility of failure. Nobody wey do well for life reach there because everything dey go 100% smoothly for them (of course, some people get advantage, but e no mean say dem no take risks). Put yourself out there. Be open with people about who you be and wetin you dey do. No hide your passions and interests. When you dey open to life and all the vulnerabilities, you dey open yourself up to success and new things. Obviously, make you dey wise about the risks wey you dey take. For example, jumping off 50-story building without any rope or way to break your fall, na the kind of risk wey fit end for your death or serious injury. E no dey advisable. <response>: Figure out wetin you wan do. Set goals Create a time-frame. Use positive thinking. Celebrate your accomplishments. Be creative. Take risks.
