Despite his many failures and setbacks, Paul has never given up; he always has a will and a desire to succeed. There was always some kind of adventure that he would find himself taking part in. He was known to be a very competitive young man and would do whatever was necessary to win because he never dreamed of seeing himself lose. He has been on stage and rapping with his own lyrics and always entertaining people since his younger days. He was also an athlete who competed in boxing and running. He has won many trophies and awards and was once called the Trophy Man. Paul has never considered himself to be great or famous. Despite his achievements and accomplishments, he still sees himself beyond closed doors, trying to find his purpose and the greatness from within. This is because he believes that greatness has no boundaries. Despite his failures, he understands that one will never understand who they really are in life until they are ready to live beyond themselves. Failure will always be your biggest fear and your biggest challenge. However, failure can be your own self. It will always be in front of you because it wants to block the person you are within. It’s a fight between the person in front of you and the person in you. The person that you are is the champion within. This means, whatever comes to defy you, comes to define the person you are from within. The only time fear or failure can defeat you is when you accept them. Living beyond yourself will help you make the impossible possible. The self will tell you that you can’t, while the person beyond you will tell you that you can. You have to tell yourself, “You are more than a conqueror. You are an overcomer because there is a greater you in you.” Living beyond yourself will let you see the greater you in you.
People who became great—like the late Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., the former US president Barack Obama, and the late Nelson Mandela—had to face many challenges that were in front of them. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. had to face police dogs, beatings, and many other forms of opposition, but he continued to pursue his dream. Nelson Mandela was willing to fight apartheid and never gave up on fighting for freedom. He spent twenty-seven years in prison and still became the president of South Africa. He understood that his imprisonment defined the person he was on the inside. It did seem very impossible for a black man to become the president of the United States of America. However, because Mr. Obama believed in the person he was, he was willing to face the impossible and willing to face the jeers and criticism. He became the first black president and even served two consecutive terms. In addition, he went on to win the Nobel Peace Prize and proved to the world that nothing is impossible if you believe in the person in you.visualizza meno
