THE DAY I WAS BOOED OFF STAGE!
This makes me laugh so hard every time I remember.
Let me tell you about it.
Four years ago, I entered for a musical competition.

Let me tell you about it.
Four years ago, I entered for a musical competition.
Like, I have always loved to sing, I constantly disturbed my family and the neighbours
(in my mind, I sounded like Whitney Houston so they should be blessed to hear me for free).
My friends?
Well...
They thought I could sing too, so they urged me to go for this competition.

Audition went well and so did the first stage
(this was largely because I sang in front of a few people, so I could control the tension).
Then...
The day came for the finals!

It was my turn to present a duet - "When you believe - Whitney Houston and Mariah Carey" with my partner (we were paired).
I was to sing Whitney& #39;s part.
I know what you& #39;re thinking...
This was supposed to be where I channeled my inner "Whitney" and blow their minds right?

Well, I did blow their minds...
In the worst way!
I was scared, shy, tensed, nervous, I was feeling everything at once!
So, I began singing my village people& #39;s style.
That& #39;s right.
I messed up!

The crazy school crowd..
Know what they did?
The booed me without mercy!
I didn& #39;t make it to the second round (obviously).
I went backstage and, oh well, I cried sha, then I wiped my eyes.
I didn& #39;t allow that discourage me.

I continued to sing in front of people (if I die, I die - there& #39;s only one death

I joined a music team and led songs - even when I was shaky, when I made mistakes, I pressed on.
I learnt and grew!

Last year, I had times when I got off the choir stage and people came at me like:
"Thank you for blessing me with such an amazing ministration!"
Days ago, I was watching a ministration I did before the lockdown and I thought...
"They once booed me off the stage!"

Why am I telling you this?
Your first try at anything?
You& #39;ll suck.
But if you keep at it, press on, want to do better?
You& #39;ll do better. You& #39;ll exceed your expectations infact.

Don& #39;t quit because you got booed offstage, don& #39;t give in to failure.
Learn and fire on!
