Let me tell you a secret

In late 2020, I was just doing my usual thing of posting videos and quotes on social media. I have a great desire to see individuals staying positive during tough times and always to bring out the best version of their potential in every circumstance. That is what I was constantly doing then. One day George asked me whether I had published any book. I was not expecting such a question and subconsciously, publishing was a huge leap to take. Then he hinted how easy it is to do so now than it has ever been. With his revelation that he has published tens of books, it sparked a fire in me. Three years down the line, I have authored two books, assisted someone publish his own and recently released the Write and Publish Your Book anthology together with other fifteen authors. all this came from a simple hint. Taking action on it and persisting on.

Has anyone hinted something to you in the recent past? If not, let me give you this hint. You have all it takes to bring out your greatest potential and achieve things you have never thought of or imagined. Take that and run with it.

Throughout history, we have seen countless examples of people accomplishing incredible things with just a hint of inspiration. Whether it’s inventors, artists, writers, or entrepreneurs, the power of a single hint has proven time and time again to be enough to ignite a spark of creativity that can lead to truly remarkable accomplishments.

But what exactly is a hint? A hint can be anything from a passing comment or observation to a more intentional piece of advice or guidance. It can come from a friend, a mentor, a stranger, or even from within ourselves. Regardless of its source, a hint is simply a small piece of information that sparks an idea or provides direction.

Perhaps one of the most famous examples of the power of a hint is that of Albert Einstein. Legend has it that Einstein’s famous theory of relativity was inspired by a simple hint given to him by his best friend, Michele Besso. Besso suggested to Einstein that he imagine what it would be like to ride on a beam of light, and from that hint, Einstein began to explore the relationship between space and time that eventually led to his groundbreaking theory.

Looking back over many other things that I have done, they were only hints that may have meant little to the person concerned. What do you do with hints you hear daily? Use them well.

Of course, not all hints lead to grand achievements. Sometimes a hint can simply help us overcome a small obstacle or achieve a personal goal. For example, a friend might suggest a new workout routine that helps us get in shape, or a co-worker might offer a piece of advice that helps us excel in our job.

Regardless of the size of the accomplishment, the point is that a single hint can be enough to inspire and motivate us to take action and make a change in our lives. We don’t need to have all the answers or know exactly what we’re doing – sometimes all it takes is a hint to get started.

That’s not to say that achieving our goals is always easy. Often, it requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. But a hint can provide the initial spark of inspiration that sets us on the right path.

So, how can we harness the power of a hint in our own lives? First and foremost, we need to be open to new ideas and receptive to the advice of others. Sometimes the best hints come from unexpected sources, so we need to be willing to listen and learn from everyone around us.

Second, we need to be proactive in seeking out hints when we feel stuck or uncertain. This might mean asking for advice from a mentor or seeking out new experiences and perspectives that can inspire us.

Finally, we need to trust in ourselves and our own creativity. A hint can provide the initial inspiration, but it’s up to us to take that hint and run with it, using our own unique skills and abilities to turn it into something truly remarkable.

In conclusion, the power of a hint should not be underestimated. From scientific breakthroughs to artistic masterpieces, a single hint has the potential to ignite a spark of creativity that can lead to incredible accomplishments. By staying open to new ideas, seeking out inspiration, and trusting in our own abilities, we can all use the power of a hint to accomplish great things in our lives.

  1. This is an inspiring message to me especially since 4months ago a friend much younger than me sparked a dream in me when he said that I have a good command of language and has had life’s experience both personal and caree base. He urged me to start writing and I took the challenge. Sometimes I get stuck from mere proscatination that has always humpered my progress, but I am almost there. So this message has just rekindled more spark in my writing.
    Thank you
