Inspired by Cobhams' 'Ordinary people'.



I heard the song and the first thing that came to my mind was,'This is a beautiful piece', by a man whose life itself is an inspiration. Cobhams Asuquo was born blind, despite all odds, he undauntedly grew with self-love and positive self-consciousness that enabled him realize
and harness his God-given talents to become a sensational and prolific music producer, songwriter and musician. In the lyrics of the song,a line says,'...every tall tree grew up from some mustard seed...'. Mustard seed here, wasn't used literally, because we all know that the mustard seed doesn't beget 'every' tall tree. However, the bottomline is that every great actualization, every beautiful achievement all started small, whether it was a dream or a thought or an idea. It needed to be harnessed and it was.




You may not have all the resources right now to make your dreams come true, but, don't give up, keep the hope alive. Start thinking up small steps you can take to achieve your goal in the long-run. If you are in a postion to help some other person achieve their dream, by all means, do what you can, while waiting for your own opportunity. When you assist the less-privileged, you're paving the way for inexplicable graces. I strongly believe that the poor weren't mistakenly created by God.

  He also created the rich, to lend a helping hand. 'Rich' and 'poor' here, may or may not be used literally. I'm also not insinuating that poor people shouldn't be hardworking, but it would be wonderful if every poor man in the world could be afforded the three basic necessities of life...food,clothing and shelter. I'm hoping for increased love in the world today. Let's all be inspired to harness our God-given talents and abilities. Peace!
