 About 1,500 years ago, a group of seafarer and Polynesians noticed a bird called a golden plover. With migrants at North out into the open water every year, seeing the birds, they suspected that land must be somewhere over there. But there was no way for them to know. So they set sail from the Marquis's island to follow the birds. Back then, they were only using carved wooden boats and their own understanding of naval navigation. So the Polynesians followed the bird closely. But the birds always flew faster than they could possibly paddle. They could only keep up so far with them for short distances and at some point, they would lose track and have to turn back. Each year, they will try again, picking up where they left off the previous year. Years passed by and they kept getting farther into the Pacific. But still, they never saw any land. The Polynesians tried again and again, generations after generations, but they had no success. Until after 400 years later, then they discovered the state of Hawaii, one of the most beautiful places in the world today. Take a moment to think about that. 400 years are failures, 400 years of doubts and uncertainty, 400 years of frustration and inherited dreams from one generation to another. Yet the Polynesians won't give up. How bad do you want what you want and how long are you willing to pursue it? I get it. You've tried for a few years and you're tired, but that's because your dream is big. Listen to this. How long do you think it takes to achieve a little dream? For example, how long does it take to make a hundred dollars? You can achieve that today or tomorrow, but how long does it take to make a million dollars? Yes, that's why you've not gotten there. Listen to me. Life is blunt. Life is tough and life is crazy. If you allow it, life will crush your soul, your spirit and even your body. The battle of life is for the strong. Persistence, perseverance, persistence is what it takes. If you cannot fight for it, then you cannot get it. If you cannot wait for it, then you can't have it. And if you cannot die for it, you don't deserve it. The Polynesians spent 400 years to discover Hawaii. How many years are you willing to spend to achieve your dreams? How many sleepless nights are you willing to have? How many books are you willing to read? How many social media hours are you willing to sacrifice? How many friends are you willing to let go? Don't tell me you are not willing to make sacrifices because if you tell me that, I'll simply ask you to forget your dreams. This is my life story. After five years of failing in the business world, my elder brother called me and told me, years ago you told us that you want to be a millionaire, but now you're still four. I looked at my brother in the face and told him, I'm paying the price. Today, I make more money than anyone in my family. They mocked me because I was in the wilderness. They rejected me because I was looking for a way to reach my Hawaii. They looked down on me because I was broke and today I've discovered my Hawaii. Listen to this. The pains of those tough years I had were just like a dream today. Then, reaching my Hawaii seemed like forever. Now looking back, the 400 years looked like four days. When the Lord returned, the captivity of Zion, even though the captivity was 300 years, the 300 years seemed like three days. Here's the thing, even if it takes you a decade of failures and pains to achieve your dreams, when the joy of accomplishment overwhelms you, those 10 years will be like 10 days. So for everyone watching this video, I encourage you, keep on fighting, keep on trying, keep on dreaming, keep on looking for your Hawaii. So the Polynesians couldn't do all the pains of failure for over 400 years to discover Hawaii. You too can endure the pains of failure till you achieve your dreams. Did you like this video?
