In a quiet village in Enugu, there was a boy named Chima who loved to sit outside every night and watch the sky. While others played games or went to sleep early, he would lie on a mat and look at the stars. People often thought he was just daydreaming. “Why waste your time staring at the sky?” they would ask. But Chima never stopped. One evening, an elderly man sat beside him and asked what he saw up there. Chima replied: “I see possibilities.” The man smiled and asked him to explain. He said: “The sky reminds me that life is bigger than what I see around me. It makes me believe there is more I can become.” The man nodded silently. Years passed, and Chima grew up to become an aviation engineer. When people asked how he found his path, he often smiled and said: “I learned to look beyond my surroundings.” Many people limit themselves by only focusing on what is immediately in front of them. But vision often begins when you start seeing beyond your current environment. Chima didn’t just look at the sky. He imagined a future within it. And that imagination shaped his direction in life. What is one dream you have that requires you to look beyond your current situation?
