Everyone of us desire greatness, influence and success. But many never achieve their desires and at some point are frustrated ending with the ideology "life is not fair". O yes, life is chocolate. Your greatest limitation is not devil or demons.. Your greatest limitation is "ignorance" That's where most human problems lay.
What you know lifts you, what you dont know limits you. It is very possible to navigate your pathway to greatness and achievement in whatever area of professionalism you find yourself. That you dreamt about it, doesn't guarantee you having it.
Every prize comes with a price. The only reward for mere dreamers is mosquito bite, so you could wake up to work.
FIRST OVERCOME IGNORANCE
Ignorance is a state of desire without a proper knowledge of what it entails to get it done. Everyman on a journey starts from this phase. Its a period where a lot of mistakes are permitted. A period where experience will be your best teacher....Yes experience, will be your best teacher..
At this point your burning Zeals won't make you value counsel... Especially the gifted and talented persons. You will always think you know what to do and how to do it best. 
Ignorance is beyond not knowing... Its assuming you know, when you do not know. So on your journey to KINGSHIP you must conquer this phase and be humble to know truths and counsel
Wisdom is admitting someone knows what you dont know, have what you dont have and then you humbly go for it. "I am the wisest man on earth because I know one thing that I know nothing......", The great Socrates said.
Ignorance is the powerlessness of your mind!
KNOWLEDGE
Information prevents deformation. The greatest disability is disability of the mind. When the mind is informed, the man will triumph. You can never grow above what you know.
Listen, Every man's action or inaction is a sum total of his knowledge or ignorance. The character of a man is a direct reflection of his mind
So go for what it takes to conquer your limitations/ignorance, go for knowledge.
With knowledge, you minimize errors... You begin to understand the game of life... Your roots get stronger, you perception better...so you are set for the journey. Having weapons of war doesn't guarantee victory... Understanding ways of war is what brings victory..
And so you can see a nation with less arms defeat another with powerful arms... Why... Strategy!
Same in the game of football the winner of the match is not always the one with the biggest players but the one who understands a strategy better
UNDERSTANDING
Beyond knowledge, seek to understand. Knowledge informs, understanding transforms; What you know gives you an edge but what you understand makes you the edge.
Knowledge can make you outstanding but understanding is what makes you a standard. Permit 1Chronicles 12:32 of the Children of Issacar that do have understanding of the times and season of what Israel ought to do..their brethren were at their command..
Don't just go for knowledge. Sit down and sort to understand what you think you know for therein lies the key to consistent relevance.
With undrestanding, You begin to break the seal.
I here people say Christian Ronaldo, Messi, Neyman are the best footballer because, they train more. Not totally true. Sedof of AC milian trains minimum 11hours daily.. He had his own football pitch but never won the best footballer. Why?
Understanding is what makes men a standard... Knowledge can only make you outstanding...
So Pele said: football is 90% brain work, 10% foot work. Train your mind to understand what you do..
Sit down and master your profession. Understanding is what makes men become authority in their endeavours.
WISDOM
With wisdom, you can read letters from darkness, signs from symbols, Speech from silence. Everything teaches you. Experience is no longer your best teacher but rather you Learn from other peoples experience.
You are becoming wise..no room for mistakes or mediocrity.
You dont take decisions under pressure. You are not intimidated by anyone's progress. You have grown to value your uniqueness.You know when and how to pull the trigger of the stuff you have got inside. You no longer do things with trial and error, You act with precision!
You have master the act of taking the bull by the horn
So wisdom is beyond right application of knowledge as we have always been thought...
SKILL
With skill you do the same thing others have been doing but in a different way. The skillful will always be useful. Grow beyond talent, vision, wisdom, Start developing skill. There is a way to develop what you have been doing and you will be amazing at how quick your influence will grow. Be skillful.
Yes! Kings reign by their skills and so kings differ from each other in influence even though they both bear same title.
