Never Too Late

Failure is not when we fail but it is when we quit or stop trying because of the fear of another failure. I would like to dedicate this post to the new president of Nigeria, Muhammadu Buhari, a former military president of Nigeria who tried four times to return to power to move the country forward. He kept coming back every four(4) years to contest only to be defeated but he didn't quit even though his biological clock was ticking. He lost three times at the presidency but the fourth attempt has finally made his dream come true today. He must be a very proud man, taking his place in Aso Rock, Nigeria's presidential palace as the President of the Federal  Republic of Nigeria at the age of 72. What if he never tried? a question for us for answer. I challenge you today to never give up on your dreams no matter the age, situation or the number of failures. Thomas Edison justified his failures years ago when he said "I have not failed. I 've found 10,000 ways that won't work" meaning he has successfully found 10,000 ways not to do something which to him is an achievement. Our mind set truly determines how we see life indeed. So when next you fail, think about it this way;

"You have another opportunity to do it again but this time better experienced which increases your probability of success." Mercy M Momah

Mr. President

Dreams come true

Never too late

Enjoy your day.

My Target Audience

I have chosen this blog, Facebook and twitter to build my personal brand. One of the major reason for choosing Facebook and Twitter is most my audience have either a Facebook or twitter account. I plan to link my personal account to my blog to build my profile and increase the number of followers. My target audience range between the ages of 18-70 years on the average. The reason is because people within this group are constantly faced with challenges that involves taking a decisions on their career, marriage, family, retirement, businesses etc. They are afraid of taking a risk because of the fear of failure. I intend reaching out to my audience with motivational tips, pictures, video and encouraging words that will motivate them to greatness

A Daring Adventure

My Name is Mercy Momah, a confident and analytical individual with a passion for motivational speaking. I work in the Project Management Office of an IT Solution provider company as a Program Quality assurance. I have a strong passion for Project and quality management. My personal interest includes music, photography and reading. 

I have always wanted to start my blog but for some reasons it never happened but today, I am so excited creating this blog today because I honestly believe it is going to be an adventure that I would enjoy.

This blog was created out of my passion to help others in taking a bold step in changing their lives for the better. I have always observed people holding back including myself a lot of times because of the fear of failure because we feel safe in our usual comfort zone. I have equally learnt over time based on the decisions I have made in the past that I am the only one that can stop myself. I have also learnt that sometimes those things that we are afraid of are are actually the key to our success in life. My goal is to motivate you, challenge you and drive you to making a difference in your life. I am going to be your personal motivator through sharing pictures, music, life experiences that will captivate your mind and make you discover who you truly are. The content of my blog will span through different areas of life that will bring out the best in you.

Finally, I would like to share this quote by Helen Keller which says that “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing at all.” I encourage you to also start something you have always wanted to do today and you will be glad you did. By the way, try not to hear that little voice in your head saying 'What if it fails? Tell yourself it is ok to fail so what is the big deal? Always remember that you are the only one that can stop yourself.
