NEVER GIVE UP ON YOUR DREAMS.

The true life story of a hustler.

Have you ever stepped out of your comfort Zone? I got this definition of Comfort Zone on Google, "a situation in which you feel comfortable and you do not have to do anything new or difficult". There is nothing interesting as new experiences; it will have both positive and/or negative effect on you (Depending on you). Some people are forced out of their comfort zone; others face their fear and step out.

Truth is Dreams don't come true when you remain on your comfort zone, so many dreams died prematurely because you make excuses rather than making moves. Trust me it's never too late to start all over. I hope this article gives you all the hope your need to dream all over again. One day, I had a reflection of my life and wondered why I was not the medical doctor I dreamt about becoming? How did I end up being a Banker? I hated banking job, when I was a child; all I ever wanted was to become a Medical Doctor and was always studying hard to be one. I came from a family not so wealthy as I was given a decent primary and secondary education. After secondary school, my life's dilemma started. Dad is not saying anything about my education, my big brother invited me over, on getting there, I got to school in a polytechnic instead of the promised University, Well, Diploma in Laboratory Science wasn't a bad idea as I get to work in a Hospital still. Half way through, my brother abandoned me, so I had to do it all by myself. I picked my first ever job and was placed on a salary of N2, 500. Working and schooling don't blend trust me. So I eventually graduated but continued working as the pay kept increasing and gradually my dream fades. Seven Years later I went back for my HND because I could only afford to stay in school for another two years else, I don't know how I'd survive. It's good to trust God, but man would always put logic rather than Faith. So many obstacles in those two years and after graduation, I was jobless for another two years. Damn, I should have just gone to the University, but I am now 28 years old. I had hoped that at this age, I would be married but I am single to stupor. Well then, I got a bank job, everyone around me is happy, then responsibilities swept my feet and it felt like I was still jobless, because I have an elderly parent who do not work, a little nice of my late sister, a Brother who is divorced with two kids and a petty job, another brother who is a civil servant, married with three kids. Everyone feels He does not want to get married, but only I knew it would never be easy adding another responsibility in the name of marriage on my basic income. Living in Lagos was damn expensive, the house rent ranging from N300, 000 and above and I only earn N103, 000 monthly.

Hey guys, I was almost tempted to get married with all the pressure, but I still wanted to be a medical doctor, I want to own a house, a car and bring kids to this life giving them the best of education and all life could offer. However, I can't do it with my current earning, so I decided to sojourn to a strange land. I quit my job that pays my bills daily and here I am in Dubai looking for job to even work as a cleaner. A cleaner earns better than me in my country and my job in Nigeria was quite classy. Our money had no value, $1 equals N360, so I left my comfort zone, and I am above 30, single and still hoping to study medicine some day. This article is not complete just yet. I will someday finish it, but until then, let's keep our dreams alive, work towards achieving them
